The text is 111 John, 1-1, “Greet the friends by name.” Etymology is the historian of lan guage. It is the huge wardrobe in which are hung up the verbal gar ments, ancient and modern, with which Thought has been and is accustomed to clothe herself. It is the international and interracial laboratory in which one alphabet is seen to a more or less extent to be in harmony with all other alphabets, the same as the study of biology proves that the physical struc tures of all living creatures, both ani mal and vegetable, have been evolved primarily from the same plan. Thus we tind that as social styles in dress change so the verbal garments for one thought are sometimes discarded, and new thoughts are found to be wearing the castoff verbal clothes of other thoughts. The ancient word “barbarian” had an entirely different significance from its meaning in the present day. When I say to you. “He is n barbarian,” you immediately picture a savage, a brutal cannibal, a black skinned roamer of the African forest or a Malay murderer, who would as willingly cut out your heart as a hawk might plunge his crooked beak into the vitals of a dove or a helpless fawn. But when Paul wrote in his epistle to the Romans, “I am a debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians,” lie meant he was a debtor to those who were not living under Ca'sar’s jurisdiction. He used the word “barbarian” in the same sense ;. the Chinese now use it. “Among the Chinese,” writes the lexicographer, “one who is not a Chinaman, and es pecially a European or an American, is commonly spoken of as a ‘western bar barian.’ ” The ancient word “wit” was originally derived from the old Saxon very “witan,” which meant “to know.” In ancient language “a wit” meant “a knower,” one versed in knowledge, an erudite man. The modern word “wit” signifies a humorous entertainer, a “funny” man. The ancient word “heathen” meant one who lived outside the intellectual cities. The modern word “heathen” is now applied to a person ignorant of the gospel. The Spanish word “caballero” originally meant “a uian who traveled on horse back.” The modern word “caballero” means “a gentleman.” The Spanish word “peon” originally meant “one who goes on foot.” The modern word “peon” means “a peasant.” Now, the simple fact is, in modern Spain many a gentleman goes on foot and many a peasant rides. McanliiK' of “Friend.” Thus we also find that the word “friends”, of my text has an entirely different meaning from what the casual reader might at first suppose. The modern word “friend” in popular dis course means an acquaintance, one with whom we can socially pass a pleasant hour, one who is upon our calling list, one who invites us to his home as we may invite him to our daughter’s wedding party for his com pany. But in ancient times the Bib lical word “friend” had a deeper, ho lier meaning. It meant one who in the truest and purest sense had his life wrapped up in our life. As John Wes ley gave the definition, “It meant oue who was bound to us by self sacrifice and the blood relation of the atoning cross.” It meant a Christian brother. The modern definition of the word “friend” is as different from the Bib lical as a wolf traveling around in sheep's clothing is at heart different from a lamb. “The friendship of most men in these days,” wrote John Spen cer, “is like some plants in the water which have broad leaves on the surface of the water, but scarce any root at all; like drums and trumpets and en signs in battle, which make a noise and u show, but act uothing.” Therefore, O man and woman, in this sermon I would try to describe for you who are your true friends and also show you turn by this date the law requires me to whether you are true friends to others. add a penalty of 50 per cent, to the re turn pf 1903.

The Dlvlae Friend, The true friend, in the first place, Is alw’ays the one who loves the Lord his God with all his heart and soul and mind before he tries to love his brother as himself. He is the one who would translate Into his own life in a spiritual sense the oft quoted advice which Po- lonius gave to his departing son La ertes, “To thine own self be true, and It must follow as the night the day thou eanst not then be false to any man.” He is as brave and noble in his relation to his Divine Friend, first of all. as was the late Christian gentle man. senator and secretary of state, Hamilton Fish. One night he was din ing out with a senatorial colleague, who made an Irreveren. unark in reference to Jesus Christ. At first Mr. Fish look ed surprised and then pained at the blasphemous laughter of his political associate. Then he turned and quietly but firmly said: “Senator, you must pardon me for what I am about to say, hut I must request you to desist from repeating any such remarks in my “resence. I firmly believe in Jesus hrlst as the Saviour of the world. Of is church I am a member, In my house I try to honor him, ami In hi* faith 1 expect to die. If you care longer to claim me as your friend, then in my presence, at least, you must make no slurring remarks against one whom I look upon as my best of all friends.” A true earthly friend must, in the first place, be a true friend to his Ueav enly Friend, as was Isaac Newton. He so igipressed every one with whom he came in contact with his noble loyalty to his Divine Master that when his friend, the great philosopher, Gottfried Leibnitz, was dying he cried out again and again in ids last sickness, "O thou God of Isaac Newton, have mercy upon me!” And yet. strange to say, there are scores of us who seem to think that our true friends can be true to us while being untrue to their better selves. If they drink with us because we get drunk and gamble with us because we gamble and sinfully fritter away their lives because we, as spendthrifts, are squandering ours, we call them friends —true friends. As Lord Melbourne, the British prime minister, once brutally expressed this sentiment; “I do not call a man a friend who merely stands by me when I am right. But 1 want a friend who is willing to stand by me and uphold me in political life even when be knows that I am wrong.” The True anil the Fnlne. A true friend in the Biblical sense is never untrue to his God or to his better self. “Well,” says some one, “how am I to know whether a friend is first true to God before he is true to me?” Oh, my brother, you need never have put that question to me. You know intu itively those among your associates who are always true to God without my telling you. A prominent eastern newspaper man who for years was de tailed as the Albany correspondent of a great New York daily told me that every year the lobbyists divided the New York legislators into three distinct classes. First, there were those who. like Caesar’s wife, were above suspi cion. They were honest through and through. No man would dare approach them with the idea of offering them a bribe. They would not dare to ap proach them with a dishonorable pro posal any more than they would dare to ask the president of the United States to appoint a minister plenipotentiary to England for the consideration of a $5,000 check or they would dare ask King Edward to create William Wal dorf Astor a member of the house of lords for a bribe of $1,000,000. The second class at Albany were the “doubtful legislators.” They might be bribed if the money offered was big enough and they thought they would not be found out. The third class were the men who were there to sell their votes to the highest bidders, no matter who those bribers might be or how much the iniquitous railroad corpora tion might desire to defraud the com mon people, whose interests those leg islators had taken a solemn oath to protect. Likewise in everyday life each man comes in contact with three distinct classes of associates. First, there are those men and women who, like Caesar’s wife, are above suspicion. They are true men; true to themselves and true to their God. You would uo more dare tell a vile story before them than you would dare tell such a filthy story to your Christian mother. Next, there are the “doubtful friends.” They might or might not be open to a wrong proposition. Then there is the third class of men—those whom you know to be what they ought not to be and who make a boast of their sins. CI100NO Associule* Curefulljr. Practical advice for this classifica tion: From the bad men turn away your face with firm resolve. You can not associate with scoundrels without you yourself becoming a party to their infamies. With the “doubtful class” of associates be very chary of your friend ship. Never allow any one to enter the inner chambers of your heart until be has proved his virtue and nobility be yond all doubt. The man who hails you Tom or Jack And proves by thumps upon your back His sense of your great merit. That man must be a friend indeed. A treasured friend you must believe, To pardon or to bear it. The third class of your acquaintances represents God’s noblemen. These can be numbered among the blessed few who are spiritually trying to make the most out of (heir lives. These seek, these trust, these bind to you by tbe unbreakable ties of affection. These cherish all through life, up to the brink of the grave. These are the kind of Biblical friends to whom tbe apostle John sent his gospel salutation. The true friend corrects his brother’s faults as well as commends his virtues. H? warns him of a moral danger, as he would warn his friend of a physical danger if on a winter’s day he saw him skating too near an airhole in tbe ice or if while boating upon the river he saw him rowing too near the danger ous dam or if he saw him bathing too near the “sea puss,” toward which the treacherous undertow was trying to drag him. The Ten Commandments of Mount Sinai which God. with his fin ger for a pen, wrote upon leaves of stone, are filled with “thou shalt nots.” Therefore one of the great mis sions of true friendship is, as Paul de scribed it, to “reprove, rebuke,” as well as to “exhort, with all long suffering and doctrine.” “No, no,” says some one; “I do not agree with you at all. I believe it is an enemy whose mission is to point out faults. The true mission of a friend is to encourage and commend virtues. Alas, by bitter experience I have found out the truth of this statement. Some years ago three of my friends and I entered into an agreement They were at that time my dearest friends. We decided that we would meet at least once a week, and for mutual benefit we would tell each other all the criticlsable things we had seen or heard about each other. Wo entered Into this agreement purely for the purpose of correcting each other’s faults. We had Just two such proposed meetings and then broke up In a big row. We have never been the same to each other since. No talk- j lug to mo about a friend’s faults! If j my friends have faults they must be ! told about Ibein by some one else.” O , my brother, you are wrong; you are en- j tirely wrong. A friend, a true friend, | should he able to come to a brother as j a loving mother could to her wayward child and tell him of the moral mis- ) takes he is making. This does not i mean, as some people suppose, that the true mission of friendship is to gather rp all the mean and contemptible say ings which have been spoken about one and then retell them to bis brother. No bouquet of fragrant beauties can be collected from among the stinging net tles and the poisonous ivies growing knee deep In the* stenchful swamps. I once had one of those so called friends who thought the chief mission of his life was to fling at me all the criticisms and the hypercriticisms he ever heard spoken against me and my work. He kept me in hot water all the time. Un til I stopped associating with him he made me doubt whether I did have any one who ever loved me or my family. A 311 km i on of Love. But though the mission of true friendship consists not in peddling evil j reports it does have a mission in lov- ! ingly and tenderly correcting the ! wrongdoings of our dear ones. Johann ! Goethe, the most famous poet and dram- ' atist of German literature, once ex pressed this beautiful thought: “When we are young we think we shall build palaces for the gods, but at last we are glad if we have dug away some of the rubbish at our feet.” Ah, that state ment is true! When we are young we have an ambition to reform the whole aniverse, but when we grow older we have narrowed down the hope of our life to this simple desire: We hope that we may live right ourselves. We hope that we may be able to remove from our friends’ paths some of the impedi ments over which we ourselves have stumbled. We hope to do the same as Forbes Mitchell did during tbe awful siege of Lucknow. After be was near ly blown to pieces by a powder maga zine concealed within the residency by the sepoys he immediately ’ earned his English friends lest they might heed lessly run into the same danger. And, my brother, mark this: If you are not gratefully willing to be corrected in a moral fault by a true friend then you are not fit to have any Christian man for a close associate. Tbe true friend is one who rejoices with us in our successes as well as sympathizes with us in our failures. “Oh,” you say, “that is a universal, self evident desire. There is no danger of any friend not rejoicing with us when we succeed in life. The only dan ger is that these friends will turn their backs upon us when we are defeated.” Steady, brother, steady. I am surpris ed at your answer. I am amazed, first, that you are such a poor analyzer of human character and, secondly, that you have not found out the error of your belief by personal experience. The Denion of Envy. Ready are you ;o grant that enemies rejoice at our overthrow and are sorry at our triumphs. But in one sense : many of our acquaintances are actuat ed by the same motives. When tripped up in the race of life many of our to or how we should be absent from our friends, we should still be able to bear the oid voices and, as in a family ' album be able to see the dear, loving lips ju*d ready to speak. But, oil, bow easy it is to forget our absent friends! How easy to get care less about sending the tender saluta- ! tions of affection which St. John sent j to bis beloved Gains when he wrote, } “Greet tbe friends by name!” How easy when sickness comes or death comes into the home to neglect tbe written words of sympathy! When we are afar off. how easy amid pressing cares not to send tin* letter of encour agement and advice and warning which would help keep that young j man from turning to the left into the ! path of sin when lie should keep straight in the narrow path of virtue! | My brother, are you doing your duty, your Christian duty, to that absent 1 friend? You know you had a mighty ) influence for good when you were by . Ids side. Shall you drop that influ ence for good merely because you can j not touch ids hand or appeal to him ex cept through the influence of the writ ten page? Stronuer Tliun Death. True friendship is proof, also, not ! only against absence, but survives ! death itself. The widow of your friend and ids fatherless children, bis brother and sister and all whom be loved will, if you are a true friend, have claims on you which you will recognize. When David became king of Israel, qne of the first things he did was to send mes sengers through the length and breadth of Ids kingdom to see if there was any of Saul's family living to whom he could show kindness, for his friend Jonathan's sake. One was found, a son of ids dead friend. He was a cripple, and David took 1dm and made pro vision for him in his palace. He did this for the sake of his dead friend. O brother, is there in your life a friend- sldp that deatli has sundered? Was there some Jonathan who loved yon and whom you loved? Was there one who hcllk'd you when you were start ing in business or who stood by you in some trouble? Perhaps that friend lias left a wife who needs help, a son who is struggling with the world, a daugh ter who needs protection. Let your love go out to them in loving service. You can do notldng for Jonathan dead, but for those whom he loved better than ids life you may do much How better can you prove yourself a true friend | than by helping them for his sake? He may be awaiting their arrival in the land of blessed reunion. Lot them go there to toll him how your love for him brightened their lives. Thus the “love altar" is not to be a despised altar. We should love the hu man race collectively. We should love the Lord our God with all our strength and our neighbor as ourselves. But that does not mean all the members of the human family should occupy the same sacred thrones in our hearts. Christ came to save a world, but Christ again and again wended ids way out of Jerusalem over the Judrenn hills to lodge iu Bethany with Mary and Mar tha and Lazarus, who were his true friends. Christ came to save a world, but when he partook of the last sup per he gathered about him the twelve, even though he knew one of these was Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. V'V Q Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dls- sourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon _ for a child to Jie bom J afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin- ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

Tims you should have your friends are ready to say: “Poor fellow! j sacred friends in Christ. You should Is it not too bad that my friend So-and- ( have those sacred friends as Paul had so failed in business? Is it not too bad 1 thorn and John had them and Peter had that John lost all the money he inherit ed from ids father?” But they often sympathize with us in the self compla cent way which, translated in the ordi nary language of life, means: "It is too bad, but if John had only been as smart as I am he would never have lost ins money. Now he is just as poor as the rest of us. and he can no longer live in a fine house or have his daugh ter taking music lessons or his sou go to college.” But let a man make a suc cess; let him strike a big profit in a real estate investment; let him have a $5,000 income when we have only $1,000 and it will take a mighty on slaught of Christian grace in our hearts to throttle the demon of envy gnawing within our breasts. Jonathan was a true friend of David. He loved the poet-statesman, the shepherd boy war rior, in spite of the fact that David and not ho, the natural heir, was to sit upon Saul's throne. Many a poor man ceases to love his brother merely be cause that brother can now ride while ho himself is compelled to walk. Why do 1 state this truth? Because, my hearer. 1 want you to realize the reason you dislike some of the friends of your youth. It is not because they are un true to you, but you are untrue to them. It is not because you have made a fail ure that they refuse to have anything to do with you. It is because they have made a success that you refuse to have anything to do with them. Oh, the poisonous fangs of Satanic envy! It is a fiendish enemy, which does Its deadly work in the poor man’s hut as well as in the rich man’s palace. Remember the Abaent. The true friend is never “out of sight, out of mind.” His love can be likened to the trembling movements of tbe magnetic needle. No matter which way the ship turns, that needle always turns toward the north pole. No mat ter which way the true friend goes, his heart’s needle always points toward his absent brother. It can be likened to the echoing voice of the phonograph. Some years ago when one of the arctic exploration parties set sail from its home harbor the captain of the ship carried in his cabin a phonograph into which his wife and little children had spoken loving messages. Thus when the captain had reached the home of the whale and the polar bear, had reached the Land of the Midnight Sun, Land of the Midnoon Darkness, he heard there the voices of his dear ones speaking ns they were accustomed to do In his own sitting room. Tbe pho nograph of the heart should have a faultless memory. No matter what we them. We should have those Christian friends about us who will lift us up instead of dragging us down—friends with whom we can laugh and sing and romp and play; friends with whom we can while away a vacation, but also true friends, with whom we can re joice in their prosperity, and with whom we can weep over the casket, and with whom we can kneel in prayer—true fiends, who are true to us because they are true to Christ. Thus I bid you do as St. John commanded Gains, “Greet the friends by name.” Greet them collectively. Hold fast to them as individuals.
