Pungent HU(1 ; and ! 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 the-e thought- sicak j mcanoofdefen.ee. And first, I to you of kindness as a j 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! * are to live them 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 {? '.•? calm moon, placid and beautiful, looks down, and the ocean begins to rise. It comes up to high-water mark, it em- braces the great headlands. It sub- rn^r^^s tlio bench of iill ttio continents. It 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 God. chiui I have more faith in the prayer of a five years old, in the way of bringing an infidel back to Christ and to heaven than eccT^aaUcal I have in ali confrov^y.^ the hi^sin" thunderbolt* of You cannot over- come in m with religious argumentation.

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.
