ART OF FRIENDSHIP. DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON ON MAKING AND KEEPING FRIENDS. A God Given Regulation Ardent Friond* and Ardent Fnerniea Cover Up the Fault* and Kstol the Virtue* - The Hearty Handeha&e and It* Great Value. F'opyright. im. by American Press; Asso- I elation.] WtHHiWTON, Sept. 11.—The obtaining I of g<xxl friends, which most look upon as a mutter of happy accident, Dr. Talmage in | this sennon shows to be a matter of intel- ’ ligi nt selection; t< st, I’roverlw xvili, 21, ? A man that hath friends must show him self friendly.” About the sacred and divine art of mak- i ing «n<l k<«eping friends 1 s]stak —a sub- | Ject nnwhnh I never heard of anyone preiehing—and yet God thought it of | enough im|>ortnnce to put it, inti- middle 1 of the Bible, these writings of Solomon, ' boumhwl on one nidi by the |*>ptilar psalm | ol David, and on the ocher by the writings ' of Isaiah, the great tof the prophets. It | secmsall a matter of haphazard how many friends we have or whether wc have any friends at all, but there is notiiihg a- <i dental about it. There is a law which governs the accretion and dispersion .of friendship. They did not “jti-.t happen so” any more than the lido just happen to rise or fall or the sun jest hap]x ns to rise or set,. It is a science, an art, u God given regulation. Tell me how friendly v>n are to others, and 1 will tell you how friendly others are to you. Ido not say you v. ill not have enemies. Indoeu the liest way to get ar dent friends is to have ardent enemies, if you get their enmity in doing the right, thing. Good men and women will always have cni-rnles, because their goodness is a perpetual rebuke to evil, but, this antago nism of foes will make more intense the love of your adherents. Your friends will gather closer around you because of the at tacks of your assailants. The more your enemies abuse you the better your coad jutors will think of you. Our Ih-wt Friends. The bent friends we have ever had ap peared at some juncture when vre were especially bomtmrded. There have been times in my life when unjust assault mul tiplied my friends, as n< ar as I could cal culate, about 50 a minute. You are bound to some people by many cords that, neither time nor eternity can break, anil I will warrant that, many of those cords were twisted hy hands malevolent. Human na ture was shipwrecked about 5U centuries ago, the captain of that craft, one Adam, ami Ids first mate running the famous cargo aground on a snag in the river Hid dekel But there was at least one good trait, of human nature t hat waded safely ashore from that shipwreck, and that is the disposition to take the- part of those unfairly dealt with. When it is thorough ly d< Im rst rated that some one is being persecuted, although nt the start slander ous tongues were busy enough, defenders finally gather around as thick as honey bees on a trellis of bruised honeysuckle. Il when s< t upon by the turies you cun have grace enough to keep your mouth shut, and preserve your equipoise and let others tight your battle--, you will find yourself after awhile with a whole cordon of allies. Had not the world given to ('hri.-t on his arrival nt I’niestino n very .cold shoulder there would not have been one half us many angels chanting glory out of tl-.o hymn books of the.sky, bound in blin k lldsof midnight. Had it not been for the heavy and jagged and tortuous cross Christ would not have been the ad mired ami loved of men- people than any being whoever touched loot on either the wv.--terii or Western hemisphere. Instead therefore of giving up in d< spair Lee oi.se you bav<’ enemies r< oi<e in the fa; IM hat they rally for yon the most. helpful and enthusiastic admirers. Jn ether words, there is no virulence Hint can hinder my text, from coming tmo. ‘A man that- hath friends must show himself friendly.” I Jf is my ambition to project, especially upon the young, a thought which may be Hlgnly rb.ape their destiny !'< rthv here and the hereafter Before you show yourself friendly you must, be friendly. I do not. recommend a dramatized geniality. There; is su< h ,u thing n.t pretending to be en rapport with others when we tiro their dire destriletante. .Hid talk against, them and w ish thorn calamity Judas covered up bis treachery by a, resounding kiss, and caresses may be deumnbical. Better the mythological Cetiterus. (he three headed dog of hell, barking at us, than the wolf in sheep's clothing, its brindled hide cov ered up by doceplivt wool anti its dvathful howl radeneed into an innocent Ideating. Disraeli writes of Lord Mani red. who, .after committing many outrugi s upon the people seemed suddenly to become friend ly and invited them to a banquet. After most <>t the i .iir :- food had bet'it served he blew a horn, which was in those times h signal tor the ;■< wants to bring on the d<-serf, but in this case it was the signal for ai-sassins (o enter ami slyy the guests. His pretended friendliness wan a cruel fraud, ami there are now people whose smile Is a falsehood. Orrniilr Tide* «»f Mxhl’.h Grh.e. Before you itegin to show yourself f ; i.'iully you must, be friendly. Get your heart-right with God anti man, anti this gttktv* will become easy. You may by your own resolution get your nature* into ji .semblance of this virtue, but. the grace of God can sublimely lift you into it. jSail'.ng all the river I'bames two' v--els ran aground. ’The owni-r.; of one got 100 horses and pulled on the gr<nitide<t ship mid pulled it j ieccs The owners of the o<her groundtxl ye-s. I waited till the tides came in ami easily floated the ship out of all trouble. So wo may pull and haul nt one grounded human nature and try to get it. into (.tetter condition, but then' is nothing like the ocemiie tides of God's uplifting grace. If, when under the Hash of the Holy Ghost, we see our own foibles and defects and depravities ■w«v will be very lenient and very easy with others We will look into their characters for things commendatory and not damna tory. If you would rub your own eye a little more vigorously, you would find a mate in it. the extraction of which would keep you so busy you would not have mn< h time to shoulder your broadax and go forth to split up the t*«in in your neighbor's eye. In a Christian spirit keep on exploring the characters of those yot, inert, and 1 am sure you will find some thing in them fit for a foundation of friendliness. You invite me to come to your country seat and spend a few days. Thank you! I arrive about noon of a beautiful sum mer day. What do you do? As soon tvs I arrive you take me out. under the shadow of live great, elms. You take me down to the artificial hike, the spotteil trout Heat ing in and out among the white pillars of Jhe pond lilies You take mo to the stalls and kennels where you keep your fine stock, atld here are the Durham cattle and the Gordon setters, and the high stepping st<Msls. by pawing and neighing, the only language t’vey > an speak, asking for har ness or saddle and a short turn down the road. Then we go biu K B the house, and you get me in the right light, and show me the Kennetts and the Bierstadts on the wall, ami take me into the music room and show me the birdcages, the canaries in the bay window answering the robins in the tree tops. Thank you! I never en joy'd myself more in the same length of time. Nuw, why do we not do so with the characters of others, and show the bloom and the music and the bright fountains* Xo. We say: ‘ Come along and let me show you that man’s character. Here is a green scummed frog pond, and there’s a silt hy cellar, and I guess under that hedge there mu>i lie a black snake. Come and let ii» tor an hour or two regale ourselves with the nuisances.” Cover Vp the Fault*. Oh, my friends, better cover up the faults and extol the virtues, and this habit, onee established of universal friendliness will liex'oine a* easy as it is fur a syringa to Hood the air with sweetness, as easy as it w ill be further on in the season for a quail to whistle up from the gra.-»s. When we hear something bad about somebody whom we always supposed to be good, take out your lead pencil and say: ’’Let me s»>e! Before I accept that baleful story against that man’s character I will takeoff from jt 25 yer cent for the habit of exaggeration v. l.icfi lH>longH to the man who first told the story, then I will takeoff 25’iser cant for the additions which the spirit of gossip in every comnv’nity has put upon the original story ; then I will take off 25 per cent from the fact that the man may have been put into circumstances of overpower ing tmnpuition. So I have taken off 75 l»er cent. But I have not heard his side of t he story at all, and for that reason I take •>ff the remaining 25 percent. Excuse me, sir. I don’t believe a word of it.” Bui here comes in a defective maxim, so often quoted, “Where there is so much smoke there rnnst4 H ‘sonic firo.” Ixxik at all the smoke for years around Jenner, the introducer of vacz.-i nation; and the smoke around Columbus, the discoverer; and the smoke around Martin Luther and Savona rola and Galilee and Paul and John and tell inc whe-to was the lire! That is one of tlie ratanic arts, to make smoke without fire. Slander, like the world, may be ma le out of m.thing. If the-Christian, fair minded, common sensieal spirit in re gard to otivers predominated in the world, v».t should have the millennium in about six weeks, for would not that be lamb and lion, cow and leopard, lying down togeth er: tilling but the trace of God can dver put us inu» such a habit of mind and heart as t h The tendency is in the op posite direction. This is the way the world t.-.lks: I put my name on the back of a man’s note, and I had to pay it, and I will never again put my name on the ba kof any man's note. I gave a beggar 10 eent.s, and five minutes after I saw him mb-ring a liquor store to spend it; I will never again give a cent to a beggar. I helped that young man start in business, a;.. t, 10, after awhile he came and opened a store almost next door to me and stole my customers! I will never again help a young man to start in business. I trusted in what my neighbor promised to do, and he broke, his word, and the psalmist wafl right before he corrected himself, for “all men are liars.” So men tiecome suspi cious and saturnine and selfish, and at ev ery additional wrong done them they put an< thcr iay< r on the wall of their exclu siveness and another bolt to the door that shuts them out from sympathy with the world. They get cheated out of ? 1,000 or misinterpreted or disappointed or betrayed, and higher goes the wall and faster goes aiiothi r bolt, not realizing that while they lock others out they lock themselves in, and some day they wake up to find them selves imprisoned in a dastardly habit. No fi lends, to others, others are no friends to f hem. There’s tin island half way be tween JCngland, Scotland and Ireland call ed the Isle of Man, and the seas dash ngaipst nil sides of it, and I am told there is no more lovely place than that Isle of Man, but, when a man becomes insular in his <lisposit.ion and cuts himself off from the mainland of the world’s sympathies, he is despicable, and all around him is an Atlantic ocean of selfishness. Behold that Islo of Man. The Poise of the Head. Now, supposing that ytfti have by a di vine regeneration got right toward God and humanity, and you start out to prac tice my text “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly.” Fulfill this by all forms of appropriate salutation. Have you noticed that the head is so poised that tlio easiest thing on earth is to give a nod of recognition* To swing the head from side to side, as when it is wagged in derision, is unnatural and unpleasant; to throw it hack invites vertigo, but to drop Hie chin in greeting is accompanied with so little exertion that all day long and ev ery day yi i might practice it without the least semblance of fatigue. So, also, the structure of the hand indicates hand shak ing; the knuckles not made so that the lingers can turn out, but so made that the fingers can turn in, as in clasping hands, and the thumb divided from and set aloof from the fingers, so that while the fingers take your neighbor’s hand on one side the thumb takes it on the other, and, pressed toget her, all the faculties of the hand give emphasis to the salutation. Five sermons in every healthy hand urge us to hand shaking. B sides this every day when you start out load yourself up with kind thoughts, kind words, kind expressions and kind greetings. When a man or woman does well, tell him so, tell her so. If you meet) some one who is improved in health, and I it. is demonstrated in girth and color, say, I “How well you look! But if, on the oth- I er hand, under the wear and tear of life he app. ars pale and exhausted, do not intro duce sanitary subjects or say anything at all about physical condition. In the case of improved health you have hy your words given another impulse toward the robust and the jocund, while in the rose of the failing health you have arrested the decline by your silence, by which he con cludes, “If I were really so badly off, he would have said something about it.” We are all, especially those of a nervous tem perament, susceptible to kind words and discouraging words. Form a conspiracy against us, and let ten men meet us at cer tain points on our way over to business, and let each one say, “How sjck you look’” though we should start out well, after meeting the first apd hearing his de pressing salute we would begin to ex amine our symptoms. After meeting the second gloomy accosting we would con clude we did not feel quite as well as usual. After meeting the third our sen sations would be dreadful, and after meet ing the fourth, unless we suspected a con spiracy. we would go home and go to bed, and the other six pessimists would be a useless surplus of discourageipent. My dear sir. my dear madam, what do you m;■ <:. 1 going about this world with disheartenmeutsf Is not the supply of gloom and trouble and misfortune gjipjigh to meet the demand without your running a factory of pins and spikes? Why should you plant- black and blue in the world when God so seldom plants them? Plenty <_»f irh't colors, plenty of yellow, plenty of green, plenty of pink, but very seldom 3 plant black or i-Jt; ■. I never saw a black flower, and there’s only hero and there a .bitg'bell or a violet, but the blue is for the most part reserved for the sky, and we have to look up Jo see that, and when we look, up no color can do ns harm. Why .not plant along the paths of others the brit;htui'sses instead of the glooms? Ho not prophesy misfortune. If you must- be a prophet, at all, be an Ezekiel and .rot a Jeremiah. In ancient; times proji'nets who foretold evil were doing righ;, for they were divinely directed, but the prophets of evil in our time are gener ally false p rophets Some of our w’eather wisc people prophesied we-would have a summer of unparalleled heat. It has been a very comfortable summer. Last fall all the weather pft’iphets agreed in saying we should have a winter of extraordinary se verity, blizzard on the heels of blizzard. It was the mildest winter 1 ever remember to have passed. Indeetl the autumn and the spring almost shoved winter out of the I pnu'ession. Real troubles have no heralds running ahead of their somber chariots, and no one has any authority in pur time to ant ounce their coming. Load yourself up with hopeful words and deeds. The hymn once sung in our churches is unlit co be sung, for it says: We sheaid suspect some danger near Where we possess delight. In other words, manage to keep miser able aii the time. The old song sung at tiio pi;u'.< s a quarter of a century ago was right— K ind words can never die. ’ ’ Such kind words have tlx-ir pests in kind hearts, and when they are hatched out and take wing they circle round in Hights that nev er ee.asi. and sportsman's gun cannot shoot them, and st. pins cannot ruffle their wings, and when they erase flight in these lower skies of earth they sweep around amid tin- higher altitudes of heaven. At Baltin ore I talked into a phonograph. The cylinder containing the words was sent on to Washington, and the next day that cylinder from another phonographic instrument, when turned, gave back to mo the very words I hud uttered the day before and with the same intonations. Scold into a phonograph, and it will scold I back. Four mild words into a phono graph. and it will return the gentleness. Society and the world and the church are phonogruj '' !S Give them acerbity and rough treatment, and acerbity and rough treutinent you will get back- Give them practical friendliness, and they will give back praetieal friendliness. A father ask ed his little daughter, “Mary, why is ii that everybody loves you?” i?he answer ed, “I don't know, unless it is because J love everybody.” “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly.” The Spirit of Sacrifice. We want something like that spirit of sacrifice for others which was seen In the English channel, where in th* storm a boat containing three men was upset, and all throe were in the water struggling for their lives. A boat came to their relief, and a rope was thrown to one of them, and he refused to take it, saying: “First fling it to Torn. He is just ready to go down. lean last some time longer. ” A man like that, be he sailor or landsman, be he in upper ranks of society or lower ranks, will always have plenty of friends. What is true manward is true Godward. We must I® the friends of God if we want him to be our frimd. We cannot treat Christ badly all our lives and expect him to treat us lovingly. I was reading of a sea fight in which Ixird Nelson captured a French officer, and when the French officer offered Lord Nelson his hand, Nelson re plied, “First give me your sword, and then give me your hand.” Surrender of our resistance to God must precede God’S proffer of pardon to us. Repentance be fore forgivem sx. You must give up your rebellious sword Indore you can get a grasp of the divine hand. Oh. what a glorious state of things to have the friendship of God! Why, we could afford to have all the world against us and all other worlds against us if wo h:ul God for us. He could in a minute blot out this universe, and in another minute make a Ixstter universe. I have no idea that God tried hard when he made all things. The most brilliant thing known to us is light, and for the creation of that he only used a word of command. As out <>f a flint a frontiersman strikes a spark, so out of one word God struck the noonday sun. For the making of the pres ent universe I do not read that God lifted so much as a finger. The Bible frequently speaks of God’s hand and God’s arm and God’s shoulder and God’s foot; then sup pose ho should put hand and arm and shoulder and foot to utmost tension, what could he not make? That God of such de monstrated and undemonstrated strength you may have for your present and ever lasting friend, not a stately and reticent friend, hard to get at, but as approachable as a country mansion on a summer day when all the doors and windows aro wide open. Christ said, “I am the door.” And he is a wide door, a high door, a palace door, an always open door. My 4-year-old child got hurt and did not cry until hours after, when -her mother camo home, and then she burst into weep ing, and some of the domestics, not under standing human nature, said to her, “Why did you not cry before?” She answered, “There win no one to cry to.” Now, I have to tell you that while human sym pathy may lie absent, divine sympathy is alway accessible. Give God your love, and get his love; your service, ami secure his help; your repentance, and have his par don. God a friend? Why, that means all your wounds medicated, all your sorrows soothed, and if some sudden catastrophe should hul l you out of earth it would only hurl you into heaven. The Two Christians. If God is your friend, you cannot go out of the world too quickly or suddenly, so far as your own happiness Ss concerned. There were two Christians /zho entered heaven. The one was standing at a win dow in perfect health, watching a shower, and the lightning instantly slew him, but tlie lightning did not Hash down the sky as swiftly as his spirit flashed upward. The Christian man who died on the same day next door had been for a year or two failing in health, and for the last three months had suffered from a disease that made the nights sleepless and the days an anguish. Do you not really think that the case of the one went instantly was more desirable than the one who en tered the shining gate through a long lane of insomnia and congestion? In the one ease it was like your standing wearily at a door, knocking and waiting and wonder ing if it will ever open, and knocking and waiting again, while in the other case it was a swinging open of the door at the first touch of your knuckle. Give your friendship to God, and have God's friend ship for you, and even the worst accident will be a victory. How refreshing is human friendship, .in 1 true friends, what priceless treasures! When sickness comes and trouble comes nnd death comes, wo solid for cur friends first of all, and their apj carance in our doorway in any crisis is re enforcement, and vs lien t hey have entered we say, “Now it is all rigid!” Oh, what would we do without p< r.-onal friends, business friends, family friends? But we want jiotnething mightier than human friend ship in the gn at exigencies. When Jona than Edwards, in his final hour, had given the last goodby to ail his earthly friends, he turned on his pillow and closed his eyes, confidently saying, “Now where is Jesus of Nazareth, my true and never failing Friend?'’ Yes, I admire human friendship as seen in the case of David and Jonathan, of Paul and Onesiphorus, of Herder am] Goethe, of Goldsmith and Reynolds, of Bea;imoj)|b and Fletcher, of Cowley ami Harvey, <f Erasmus and Thomas More, of Lessing and Mendels sohn, of Lady Churchill aiid Princess Al’ine, of Drostes nnd l\vlades, each re questing that himgelf might take f.ha point of the dagger, so the otiipr might be spar ed; of Epaminomia* and Folopidas. who locked their shields in buttle, determined to die. together, but the grandest, the mightiest, the tenderest friendship in all the universe is the trien 'ship between Jesus Christ and a believing soul, yet after all I have said I feel I have only done what James Marshall, the miner, did in 1848 in California, liefore its gold mines were known. He reached in and put upon the table of liis employer, Captain Sutter, a thimbleful of gold dust. “Where did you get tiiat?” .said h]s employer. The reply wgs, “I got it this morning from a mill race from whk’h the water had been drawn off.” But thnt gold dust, which could have been taken up txitween the fin ger ami the thumb, was the jirophecy and specimen that revealed California’s wealth to all nations, and today I have only put before you a specimen of the value of di vine friendship, only a thimbleful of mines inexhaustible and infinite, though ail time and all eternity go on with the exploration.

They wrote the commissioners that they wanted the house down and the com miss toners will hare to comply with their request. The commissioners agree* to destroy the house as soon as the epidemic was over, i if they would be allowed to build it. At their last meeting they wrote to the residents living in that section asking if they stiff wanted it burned, and the resi dents have sent the answer to the letter and in it they say that they want it de stroyed.

ORDER OF RED MEN. Great Council Meets at Indianapolis Next Week. The members of the Improved Order of Red Men in this city, as well as those throughout the country, are looking for ward with a great deal of interest to the session of the great council of the United States, the supreme head of the order, which convenes in Indianapolis, Ind., for the week commencing September 13. The session will be one of the most Im portant in the history of the order, as there are several amendments to the con stitution, offered at the last meeting, which will come up for final action. One of the most important is to prevent “sa loonkeepers or any one engaged .in the sale of liquors as a beverage in any capacity,” becoming a member of the order." The great council of this state, at its an nual session held in the city of Augusta last May. unanimously adopted a resolu tion instructing the representatives from Georgia to vote in favor of and use all honorable means for the adoption of the above amendment. There is considerable feeling relative to the wisdom of this proposed law, and a lively fight is anticipated. It will require a two-third vote to adopt it. The order of Red Men is one of the largest fraternal organizations in this country. There are over 2,000 tribes with a membership of upwards of 200,000. In Georgia there are fifty tribes with nearly 4,000 members. The Great Incohonee, the supreme head of the order, is a Georgian, Judge Robert T. Daniel, of Griffin. His term of office, two years, expires next week, and he will be succeeded by -Hon. George E. Green, mayor of Binghamton. N. Y. The order was founded in the city of Boston, Mass., in the year 1775, by the “sons of liberty,” those revolutionary pa triots who took part In that little tea party wit hthe British. The “Red Men” is purely an American order, and seeks to perpetuate and keep alive the manners and customs of the primitive red man. In Its ritual Is en grafted a great deal of the mythology and characteristics of the aborigines, a race of people, who are fast giving way to the on ward march of civilization. The members of the order at Indianapolis have arranged a very elaborate program for the enter tainment of the delegates. Oh, the Pain of Rheumatism! Rheumatism often causes the most in tense suffering. Many have for years vainly sought relief from this disabling disease, and are to-day worse off than ever. Rheumatism is a blood disease, and Swift’s Specific is the only cure, be cause it is the only remedy which can reach such deep-seated diseases. A few years ago I was taken with inflamma tory Rheumatism, which became so intense that I was for weeks unable to walk. I tried XX. several prominent physi cians and took their treat ment faithfully, but was unable to get the slight y jy est relief. In fact, my con. dition seemed to grow v* / worse, the disease spread /jte* from November to March I suffered agony. I tried fc-A many patent medicines, I h ut none relieved me 7 Upon the advice of a s '<\K' t friend I decided to trj S. 8. 8. Before allowing me to take it, how ever, my guardian, who was a chemist, ana lyzed the remedy, and pronounced it free oi botash or mercury. I fejt so much better aftei taking two bottles, that I continued the rem, edy, and in two months I was cured completely, The cure was permanent, for I have never sined had a touch* of Rheumatism though manj times exposed to damn and cold weather.
