Text : “A soft tongue breaketh the bone.” ;
—Proverbsxxv 15
When Solomon said this he drove a whole i
volume into one phrase. You, of ZS&'LSi course, will j

power to in be a kind insignificant, word. Although its force it is may in- J

tt u^ onflUeriHR utterance: “A soft tongue
breaketh the bone.”
If I had time I would show you kindness I
as a means of defense, as a means of useful-
ness, kindness as a means of dome-tic har-
mony, k-n iuess as best employed by govern-
ments for the taming and curing of crimiuals,
and kindness as best adapted for the settling 1 j
aud a lusting of international quarrel; but
I shall call vour attention only to two r.f i

Almost every man. in the i
course of his lifn, is set upon and assaulted.
Your motives are misinterpreted or your re-
ligious or political principles are bombarded.
What to «lo under such circumstances is the
queHtiou. Th«* flrst impulse of the natural
heart says: ••Strike back. Give as much as
he sent. Trip him into the ditch which ho
dug for your feet. Gash him with as severe
a wound as that which he inflicted on vour
soul. Shot for shot. Sarcasm for sarcasm. 1
An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.’ But
the better spirit in the man’s soul rises up
andsavs. “You ought to consider the mat-
ter.” You look up into the face of Christ
aud say: “Mv Master, how ought I to
act under these difficult circumstances?”
aud Christ instantly answers: “Bless
them that curse you, and pray for them
which dispitefully u.so you.” Then the old
nature rises up a^ain and says: “You had
better not forgive him until first you have
chastised him. You will never get him iu so
tij'ht a corner again. You w il never have
such an. opportunity of inflicting the right
kind of punishment upon him again. First
chasti.se him and then let him go.” “No,”
says the better nature, “hush, thou foul
heart. Try the soft tongue " that breaketh
the bone”
Havo you ever in all your life known
acerbity and acrimonious dispute to settle a
quarrel? Did they not always make matters
worso and worse and worse? About fifty-
live years ago (here was a great quarrel in
the Presbyterian family. Ministers of Christ
were thought orthodox in proportion as they
had measured lances with other clergyman
of the same denomination. The most out-
rageous the personalities were abroad. As, in
autumn, a hunter comes home with a
string of game, partridges aud wild ducks.
s ministers uug over his shoulder, so there were many
who came back from the ecelosias-
tioal courts with long strings of doctors of
divinity whom they had shot with Iheir own
rifle. The division became wider, the ani-
mosity greater, until after awhile .some good
men resolved upon another tack. They be-
gan to explain forgive away tho difficulties; they bo-
gan to each other's faults; an i lo!
the great Church quarrel was settled; and
the new school Presbyterian Church aud the
obi school Presbyterian Church became one.
The different paits of tho rresby.erian order,
welded by a hammer, a little hammer, a
Christian hammer that the Scripture calls
“a soft tongue.”
“But,” you say, “what are we to do when
slanders assault us. and there come acrim-
onions sayings ail uround about us, and wo
are abused and spit upon?” My reply i«:
Do not go and attempt to chase down the
slanders. Lies are prolific, and whilo vou
are killing one, fifty aro born. All your
demonstrations of indignation only exhaust
yourself. You might as well on some sum-
mer night when the swarms of insects are
ooming up from the meadows aud disturb-
ing you aud disturbing your family, bring
up which some thundered great “swamp angel,” like that
over Charleston, toosmafl and trv
to shoot them down. The game is
for the gun. But what, theD are you to do
with the abuses that come upon you iu life?
You down! *

I pass now to the other thought that l de-
sire to preseur, ana that is, kindness as a
menus of usefulness. Iu all communities
vou find skeptical men. Through eurlv ed-
ucatiou, or through the maltreatment of
professed ^Christian people, or through
prying there curiosity about the future world,
skeptieal are a great many people who become
iu religions tilings. How shall
vou capture them for God? Sharp argument
iind sarcastic retort never won a single soul
from skepticism to the Christian religion,
While powerful books on “Evidences of
Christianity” have their mission in confirm-
ing Christian people in the faith thev have
already adopted, I have noticed that when
skeptical people are brought into the king-
dom of Christ, it is through the charm of
some genial soul aud not by argument at all.
Menare not saved through the head; they
are saved through the heart. A storm comes
out of its hiding place. It says: “Now we’ll
just rouse up ail this sea;” and it makes a
great bluster, but it does not succee i. Part

is the heart-throb of one world against
the heart-throb of another world. And
I have to tell you that while ail your
storms of ridicule and storms of sar-
eastn may rouse up tno passion of au im-
mortal nature, nothing less than the attrac-
tive power of Christian kindness can ever
raise the deathless spirit to happiness and to

ARKANSAS ELECTION.
The State (Joes Democratic by an
Estimated 45,000 Majority.
The election in Arkansas Monday
drew out the largest vote cast in the
state for several years. Official re¬
turns from the following counties late
Monday night give Daniel W. Jones
majorities as follows : Miller, Texar¬
kana, 500; Phillips, Helena, 1,100;
Woodruff 1,900 out of a total vote of
2,500; Franklin 800, Lafayette 500,
Sharp 1,700.
If these majorities are kept up
throughout the slate, Jones and the
entire democratic ticket will receive
GO,000 mnjori y.
Tho republicans had no ticket in the
field, the opposition being an inde¬
pendent ticket. The populists scratch¬
ed Files, their candidate for governor,
and voted almost solidly for Jones, as
did many of the sound money demo¬
crats who voted at ali

The movement inaugurated by

to perpetuate the history of the
Southern Confederacy aud deeds of
Southern bravery by erecting a mag¬
nificent memorial building, was pro¬
moted by the action of the board of
trustees, whoso first session was
brought to a close on Lookout Mount¬
ain a few days ago. Corporate exist¬
ence will be given the movement by a
charter obtained in Mississippi for tho
Confederate Memorial association.
The idea of a Battle Abbey has been
abandoned as impracticable, and the
structure to be erected will be called
the Confederate Memorial Institute.

lhoJ. although he did not feel its. acute
symptoms uutll some fifteen years later. .Mr.
Hubbo.l is now th- second oldest expressman
in tho Lmied States and recalls many inter-
esting reminiscences of these early days. In
1*76 ho went to the Western frontier, and
mm!o to got relief from thla painful ailment,
he said that while in New Mexico he visited

and Clifton aud Avon, in New York, but
without being able to get the slightest relief,
As he advanced in age, his trouble became
more painful. “Why,” he exclaimed, point- i
ing to the farm house of William Burleson, ;
about six hundred feet distant, “I would
yell so when those twinges caught me that
they could hear me down there.”
William K. Hallo k, owner of Hallock’s
bank, in Bath, is a nephew of Mr. Hubbell,
and last winter he insisted that “Uncle Bil-
ly” should try Tink Pills for Pale People for
his rheumatism. Mr. Hubbell is free to say
that he had no faith in the pills whatever,
and only tried them because of the insist-
ence of Mr. Hallock. He had already tried
“more than a million remedies” before he
came to Pink Pills and as none had rendered
lock, he got ft box of Pink Pills. Since then

cannot explain how this marvelous relief
was effected, but feels sure it was the pills
which did it, and is now as enthusiastic in
their endorsement as was his nephew, Mr.
Hallock. Mr. Hubbell now comes into Bath
almost every day, and says he could ride a
bicycle if he only had some one to help him
on and off.

Wood aud Coal Burners.
The modern coal-burning locomotive
presents a great contrast to the old
wood-burning engine, and in no feature
is the contrast more striking than in
the smokestack, which rising above a
boiler emailer iu diameter and set
nearer the ground, was almost as con¬
spicuous at one end of the engine as
the cab at the other.
Now there aro made locomotives with
boilers so big and standing so high
above the tracks that the smokestack
must be made very short to go under
bridges aud through tunnels. On some
of these big engines a straight edge
laid along would touch the top of the
headlight, the smokestack, the bell
frame, the sand box and the ©team
dome. The short, dumpy, straight
stack is as far as it could be from the
old-fashioned smokestack of the wood-
burner, aud the whole engine is the
very type of energy aud power. —New

The Ingenious Small Boy.
I never walk about the town without
being impressed with the ingenuity of
the small boy. A few afternoons ago
J the ™ Soldier ™ s Home. It on was the lather road to a
handsome house, with a wide sweep of
velvety lawu, windingly interesected
by a cement driveway. A boy of
about 14 was cutting th© narrow fringe
of grass beside the driveway. He was
mounted on a bicycle, and as he rode
ho pushed the lawn mower along be¬
side him. OE coarse it was much
harder work than walking with the
grass cutter would have been and a
d*al slower in the doing, but no real
live boy is ever going to let such
trifling considerations as those have
weight with him.—Washington Post.
