_ I L H ■ •wl Wi -^XT"^ NOAHS LINIMENT Calmagc Sermon By Rev. Frank De Witt Talmafe. D. D. IjOs Angelos, Cal., .Tan 26—In this ■ aertnon the preacher deals with a uni- I versal problem—that of social compan- ! lonshlp—and shows the perils of evil associations and how to avoid them, i The text is Proverbs xiii. 20. "A com- , panion of fools shall Is? destroyed.” | It is good for man ever and anon to go oft alone, as Christ often went alone. ; Into a desert place to pray, but I notice | that these periods of solitude in Christ’s life followed or preceded times of large association and social activity. Jesus j went into seclusion either to recover : from an uncommon strain or to prepare | for an approaching demand on hisener- I gies. He never sought solitude for its own sake. lie loved to have his dis ciples around him and evidently gained . help and comfort from their presence. In that supreme crisis 14 the night pre- i ceding his death he longed to have them near him and was hurt when (hey cared so little for his trouble that they went to sleep. “Could ye not wab-h with mo one hour?” he asked them in pathetic reproach. .. . .

As God said at the creation. "It is not good that man should be alone.” He needs com panions. associates, friends. He needs them for the development of his own character, and tie needs them that he may aid in the development of theirs. The psychologist looks with suspicion on the nature that avoids society and Iierpetually craves solitude. Such a man. lie says, is abnormal; ho is mo rose; he is liable to become demented. Even piety does not thrive in seclusion. The old monks thought it did. but their experience proved the contrary. The youth brought up carefully, apart from gle of lift ▲ second character against whom the Bible warns us Is the slanderer. Solo mon says (Proverbs x. 18). “He that nt- tereth a slander is a fool.” What does that mean? Why. simply this: If you hear an evil report about your neigh bor and you repeat this evil report be fore you have investigated It, and you go ou repeating this evil report when It is unsubstantiated by one scintilla of proof, and you run around spread ing that report from house to house, you are In God’s sight a fool. Now. all such scandal mongers you and I should shun or else with their viper ous tongues they will destroy our spir itual lives, even as an adder’s fang with one puncture can Inject Its poison and still the throbbiugs of our pulses I aud stop the steady action of our beat ing hearts. And yet. alas, how much of the conversation of our associates 1 is devoted to trying to analyze the sup- | posed imperfections of our neighbors! And when our friends begin to talk 1 slanderously about our neighbors bow easy it is for us to Join forces with ; them and Itecome a slanderer among slanderers: We are ready to grant that the first part of the verse of my text, "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise.” 1 is true. We know that the influence of good men lifts us up and helps us to be good. Why should we not l>e willing to admit that the evil conver sation of slanderers and of bad men will drag us down? Can we grant the first fact and deny the second? There is a story told by a noted speaker that one day a father was walking through the country with his two boys. The wind was blowing over a fine field of corn and making the silken, golden ears bend like ihe waves of the sea. • Is it not surprising,” said one of the children, “that the wind does not break the slender stalks?” “My son,” an swered the father, “that would be true if one of those stalks was to stand alone. But you must remember that each of those slender stalks stands in the midsi of many other stalks, and they all help 10 support each other. So with our companions in life. They make us what we are. They help us to bear up against the strong winds of adversity aud temptation. There fore, my boy. you must be careful that you have good friends by your side who will help you to bear the strug- bravely."

The Atheistic Foq!. In the fir-d place, there i.-; the athe istic fool, whom David describes (Psalm xiv. It. In some respects the most danger.! s of companions, “The fool hath said in ids heart. There is no God.” Then, as though not satis fied with once hurling his condemna tion against the atheist, the inspired writer repeats the same words in the Fifty-third Psalm. By this repetition he seems to say, “I cannot warn young people too much against asso ciation with tbo e who are denying the existence of God.” But, though the Bilile so vehemently and emphat ically denounces the atheist, yet how little some of us heed the warning; against associating with the atheist, who bath said in Ins heart, “There is no God.” We are w illing to obey God’s command, which says, "Thou shaltuot associate with murderers or with thieves or drunkards.” We are willing to say “Amen” to the divine com-j maud, “Thou shall not is; unclean In morals.” But we are not willing to discontinue our fellowship with those whose whole lives are spent denying God and that Christ who is our only hope lor tills world and for the next. , Now. 1 do not believe it is possible to love God aright and at the same time go with those who do not love and honor him. No; we cannot do this any more than we can love our wives and mothers and yet associate with vice. “He that walketh with wise men shall lie wise." But as I stand upon the hillside and watch a great field of wheat bending and swaying under the pushing, driving winds 1 see that here and there is a stalk bending before tiie blast and. after giving way itself, bear ing another stalk down. Therefore if we go with slanderers they will de stroy us as surely as wise men will dft us up and make us wise. Crimes as Classified. Now, in God's sight this sin of slan der is an awful sin As I take up the penal code of our state or national gov- eramen' ! find the different crimes classified in the order of their heinous ness. For irr tancr. if I steal a loaf of bread I could not be hanged for the crime. If I should go down the street tonight and g< t drunk, 1 could not be sent to the penitentiary for life. In all probability i should lie sent out on the chain gang to expiate my misd ■ meanor by working on the roads for twenty or thirty or sixty days. But If you should loot a man or poison your companion or derail a railroad train for plunder or if, as an incendiary, you should burn up a hotel, then you could lie hanged by the neck until you are dead or you could be sent to the pen itentiary t'i sene out all the days God lias given you to live upon earth. Crimes in the criminal code of the United Stafi-s are classified In refer ence to their culpability, as they are also classified in the divine code. Now. wdiere do .e hud this crime of slan der in God's code? Is it a petty mis demeanor? Is it a little sin that God will in time overlook? Nay. Among the worst of all spiritual criminals in God's sight Is the slanderer. David tells us in Ids Hundred and First Psalm the awfu! doom which is to lie meted out to the slanderer, “Whoso privily slanderedh his neighbor, him will 1 cut off." Bewate, <> man, how you allow your friends to slander their neighbors in your pre.-ence: Beware how you poison your own life by recounting the evil reports of your friends! “The companion of fools shall lie destroyed.” The slanderer is a fool. But we are not to find the compan ions whom we are to shun entirely among the atheists aud the scandal those who despise pure women aud are mongers. We are not to find them only JL’NH H.

FOimnONEMAR FWmHONEMIAR continually siieaking evil about them. If I should conic Into your home and llogin to talk against your dead mother and by letters and newspapers try to prove to you that she was a bad wo man you would not let me go very far. You would turn upon me with all the Indignation in your nature and would bid me desist or quit my company. You would say; “You are no longer my friend. I lived with my mother too many years not to know that what you say is false. Furthermore, no man can stay In my home who would utter such language as you have done. I could not continue to love and reverence my mother if I believed the charges you have made, and I will not associate w ith one w ho despises her as you do. Therefore we must forever part.” But, though you would speak like that in your defense of a father, a mother, a brother, a sister, a wife or a ekild, yet, strange to say.some of ns continue toas- aociate with those on earth who openly and brutally deny the goodness and the very existence of that God whom we love aud worship. Now. my friends, you are at the fork of two divergent roads. Either you must bring yonr atheistic friends to the foot of the croaa and lead them to bow and worship at the manger or else, for Chrlafa sake, yon must refuse any longer to bo joked with unbelievew. In the quiet corners, where friend talks to friend, but we can also find these evil companions at the banquet table, and In the ballroom, and at the card parties, and In the bkliard hails, and at the baseball games, and on the fishing and boating trips, and at the race tracks. We can find them in every place where pleasure seekers congre gate. We can find them at the theater uud in the concert hall as well as by the family fireside. “The heart of fools is in the house of mirth.” What docs that mean? Why. it moans. Interpreted in the broad sense, that the man and the woman who give their whole lives up to a never endli g round of per petual pleasure seeking are fools. Life has another object than that of fun. A great ocean steamer was not built for the purpose of taking a few fisher men down the bay on a sunshiny day to catch a few flounders. Its keel wits laid that It might carry heavy cargoes from barter In harbor. It was built to defy the stnrnia and to withstand the poundings of the heavy billows and not to turn its decks into u ballroom floor, whore the moving feet of the young people can keep step to the strains of music. Work and Piaaaura. I make no war upon recreation or pleasure trij s or vacation outings when they come in their proper places. Paul •ays. “For when we were with yon this we commanded you—that If any would not work neither should he cat." But no man over learned to woH; aright un!e<s he Ic'irnel how to p!ny might. The be: ! plensutc seekers bavr often been the test workers. There i> an old Pcrf la.i legend which says that one day a friend put Into the hand of the philosopho,' Tamil a lieautiful piece of scented clay. Saadi said: "I took it Into my Imml and said. ‘Art thou musk or ambergris, for I am charmed with thy perfume?’ M’lie clay answered, ‘I was once a despicable piece of clay, bul 1 was some time In the company of the rose, and the sweet quality of my com panion was communicated to me; ot’.i erwise 1 should be a piece of clay, as 1 appear to lie.’ ” Like the clay we are. When we live a little while amoug the wild roses, when we seek for n little while our joy in the gardens of pleas ure, theli go back to our work, with the sweet scent upon us. and we can do our work better ami swifter than we have ever done it before. I say. again, the man never lived who can work to the Lest advantage if lie does not know how to (day well. It makes a great deal’ of difference whether we eat to live or live to cat it makes a great difference whethei we play to quicken the mind and resl th". body for the daily task of life which God has given us to do o: whether we prostitute the workings of our minds and hearts in mere pleasure seeking. We have no patience with the epitaph which the dying wag wrote and which is today found chiseled up on Ins tombstone in one of our eastern cemeteries: Life is a joke, and all tilings show ii; I thought so once, and now 1 know It. Life is no joke. Life is not a play ground. Life is a great campaign which God commands us to work out. And whenever you find men and wom en living foi mere pleasure you find men and women whom God classes among fools. O man. what are your associates trying to accomplish with their opportunities? Arc they winning you away from the great purposes for which you were born? Are they sav ing to you. "Come. come. eat. drink and lie merry, for tomorrow we die?” For if they are they are companions who are already dead to the higher principles of life. Furthermore, they are companions who are loading you to your own temporal and eternal de struction. "A companion of tools shall Le de- troyod." In God's sight the per petual pleasure seeker is a fool. Arothe- Kind of Fool. But. turning from the mere fun lover, we enter into the busy, crowded marts of trade. There, among the hardwork ing merchants aud in the offices of some of the most noted lawyers and physicians and in the studies of some of our greatest authors, scientists and statesmen, we may find another kind of folly, against which King Solomon warns us in the words of my text. The man win* lives merely for what he can accomplish in this world is a fool. The same biting, cutting, with ering terminology of tour letters, j "fool.” which is applied to tin* one is I also applied to the other. | Here we have the characterization from the lips of the lx>rd himself. Turn to the parable which Christ spiii^i' to his disciples in Luke xil, l(>2d. There In his wonderful word painting Christ takes us to the home of a great eastern landowner. This wealthy man lakes us out upon the veranda of his house and begins to point out tin* advantages of bis prop erty. His land not only seems to fie endless, but lie lias quality of soil as well as quantity. Then lie seems to to us: "1 started a poor boy, but fiy close a; p'mution to work I made all this property by my own labors. I !ru vc no thought or hope beyond tie money I am amassing. Now, tlie great question before me is, What .shall ! do? My incoming crops are largei I than my granaries can hold.” Then j in Christ’s own words we have the story: “And lie said: This will I do. 1 will pull down my barns and build greater, and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. Aud I will say to my soul; Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years. Take tniue ease; eat, drink and be merry. But God s. id unto him. Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required • if thee. Then whose shall those things lie which thou hjjst provided?” Friend, are such men, of whom this .rich man of the parable is the symbol, to be counted among your best friends? Brother, when < hrist spake this para ble of the fool who was giving up all his life to amass a little silver and gold was lie alluding to you? Are you in God's sight the covetous fool, | surrendering eternity in order to lift your held a little higher in the world? A Strange Sermon. Ob. how quickly shall come the eter- ! ual doom which awaits the covetous : fool of Christ's parable, who has wast- ! ed Ids oportunilies In order to bow’ be fore the shrine of Midas for a day. 1 I was never more Impressed with thi fact than when, some years ago, y bleak No\ember day 1 was sittiugupoj the banks of the Hudson river aud/l had the strangest of preachers talk to me. I know not w bother I was asleep or awake, but this is the sermon that came to me at that time: While I was sitting there, suddenly a cold slmrp blast of wind slapped me in the face and then leaped up and struck an over hanging bough until the hough creaked and geoaned with pain. Then, seeing the Uselessness of trying to break the haclnxme of the old forest monarch, the ^Ind ruAles dy disrobed the tree of Its glories, scattering the leaves far and wiue. aud seemed to sport and laugh It Uwsed one to my feet. And as I there, watching the poor little icii' bleeding and dying, with Its arteries slit by the sharp teeth of the blast. It told me this tragic story: “I was liorn of a bud. At m.v nativity the gentle spring breathed life Into me. The re freshing showers nurtured me. The sunbeams soothed me and coaxed me Into smiles. The birds warbled and told me their secrets. The summer breezes rocked me to sleep. The rising sun kissed away my dewy tears. I.ife was such a continual happiness that I throbbed witli gladness and tried to aw’aken the weary traveler as he hid from the noontide sun under my shad ow. But then I commenced to grow old. Komething told me I had to die. and, though I nestled closer to the branch and tried to shake off the cold, yet 011 every hand the lifeblood flowed. Every morning when I awoke I saw hundreds of loaves drop, covered with the white shroud of frost, and now as I He there. Incarnadined with my life’s blood, you admire my beauty and my colorings, but I am dying. My sun has set. It is eventide and time for me to sleep the last great sleep. And you. too, O man, must die! Younger men will jostle you. You must some day become a hack number. Your heirs may now be getting ready to squabble over your will.” “It is appointed unto men once to die. but after that the judgment.” Dot's the dying loaf preach that message to you today? Lives of the Leaves. Our lives are like the lives of the leaves. Some of us have just budded into boyhood and girlhood. It is springtime. Endless life seems to be stretching out l»efore our eyes. The edge of tiie horizon where our graves shall be dug seems to recede as we advance. Oh. how happy is May! Sor row has not yet stabbed at the heart and persecution has not yet snapped at the heels. Tiie hardest work the boy or girl has to do is to get up in time for breakfast. Some of us have left the old homestead and set up house- keepiug for ourselves. It is summer. We have all the worriments and vexa tions of life. From a selfish standpoint it does not pay. But God never meant you to live for yourself alone, so one morning you awoke to find u babe sleeping in the cradle at yur side. Now you sit at one end of the table and your wife sits at the other end of the table, while between you is growing up a family of whom any man might bo proud. Oh, bow happy is the summer! We may have our days of rain as well as of sunshine, but every rainstorm during the strength of strong manhood has a bright rain bow to arch it, and every hard day’s work has its sweet home coining after tiie beat of Hit* day. Ob. bow happy is summer! Some of us an* near our journey^ end. Your joints have stiffened with the long journey. Now all you can do is to hobble and stumble along, pant ing and puffing, all out of breath. It is autumn. Once you romped aud leap ed from the haymow and ran to take your father's hand, your curls flying in the w ind and with red roses a-bloom- ing in .vour check. Now you feci tired and nerveless. Though you may make an effort to deceive your friends, you are not deceiving yourselves. No, the almanac does not lie. It is autumn. Soon a procession will be started and you will lie carried at the head of it. The bell will toil when the hearse en ters the cemetery. The stillness of the little company in your family plot will be broken by the solemn words, “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” Soon the lit tle company will scatter, leaving their dead. Night will fall upon the scene. When morning breaks, your new made grave will be banked up by a mound of snow. It is winter. Aud you, too. O man, must die. and after that the judgment. Does the leaf preach to you today? Sooner or later tiie time of the closing of your earthly life must come. Then will Christ speak unto ; you as he spake upon the sick man of the parable: “Thou fool, this night thy j soul shall be required of thee. Then ! whose shall these things be which thou hast provided?" Will you not today as a wise mau walk with wise men? Will you not walk with I’aul and Peter aud John and Mary and bow at the foot of the cross? Will you not walk with the i Christian father and mother ami broth ers and sisters and husbands and wives and children who, with Christ’s help, used the hillocks of their graves as 1 stepping stones to their eternal thrones? Will you be, like Enoch, a truly wise , man who walked with God and who never died localise of that divine com panionship? Will you not cease to lx? ; a companion of fools and tints ulti- 1 mately enter everlasting life?
