matter of happy accident, Dr. Talmage In
this sermon ahowa to be a matter of intel
ligent selection; text, Proverb® xviii, 84,
• “A man that hath friends must show him
«,lf friendly.”
About the sacrcd and divine art of mak
ing and keeping friends I speak-—a sub
ject on which I never heard of any one
preaching—and yet God thought it of
enough importance to put it in the middle
of the Bible, these writings of Solomon,
bounded'on one side by the popular psalm
of David, and on the other by the writings
of Isaiah, the greatest of the prophets. It
seems all a matter of haphazard how many
friends we have or whether we have any
friends at all, but there is nothing acci
dental about it. There is a law which
governs the accretion and dispersion of
friendships. They did not “just happen
so’’ any more than the tides just happen
to rise or fall or the sun just happens to
rise or set. It is a science, an art, a God
given regulation.
Tell me how friendly you are to others,
and I will tell you bow friendly others are
to you. Ido not say yon will not have
enemies. Indeed the best 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 enemies, 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 Best Friends.
The best friends we have ever had ap
peared at some juncture when we were
especially bombarded. There have been
times in my life when unjust assault mul
tiplied my friends, as near 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, and I will
warrant that many of those cords were
twisted by hands malevolent. Human na
ture was shipwrecked about 59 centuries
ago, the captain of that craft, one Adam,
and his 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 that 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 demonstrated that some one Is being
persecuted, although at the start slander
ous tongues were "'busy enough, defenders
finally gather around as thick as honey
bees on a trellis of bruised honeysuckle.
If when set Upon by the furies you can
have grace enough to keep yottr month
shut and preserve your equipoise and let
others fight your battles, you will find
yourself after awhile with a whole cordon
of allies. Had not the world given to
Christ on his arrival at Palestine a very
cold shoulder there would not have been
one-half as many angels chanting glory
out of the hymnbooks of the sky, bound
in black lids of midnight. Had it not been
for the heavy and jagged and tortuous
cross Christ would not have been the ad
mired and loved of more people than any
being who ever touched foot on either the
eastern or western hemisphere. Instead
therefore of giving up in despair because
you have enemies rejoice in the fact that
they rally for you the most helpful and
enthusiastic admirers. In other words,
there is no virulence that can hinder my
text from coming true, “A man that hath
friends must show himself friendly.”
It is my ambition to project, especially
upon the young, a thought which may be
nignly shape their destiny for the here and
the hereafter. Before you show yourself
friendly you must be friendly. I do not
recommend a dramatized geniality. There
is such a thing as pretending to be en
rapport with others when we are their dire
destructants and talk against them and
wish them calamity. Judas covered up
his treachery by a resounding kiss, ana
caresses may be demoniacal. Better the
mythological Cerberus, the three headed
dog of hell, barking at us, than the wolf
in sheep’s clothing, its brindled' hide cov
ered up by deceptive wool and its deathful
howl cadenced into an innocent bleating.
Disraeli writes of Lord Manfred, who,
after committing many outrages upon tho
people, seemed suddenly to become friend
ly and invited them to a banquet. After
most of the courses of food had been served
he blew a horn, which was in those times
a signal for the servants to bring on the
dessert, but in this case it was the signal
for assassins to enter and slay the guests.
His pretended friendliness was a cruet
fraud, and there are now people whose
smile is a falsehood.
Oceanic Tides of God’s Grace.
Before you begin to show yourself
friendly you must be friendly. Get your
heart right with God and' man, and this
grace will become easy. You may by
your own resolution get your nature into
a semblance of this virtue, but the grace
of God can sublimely lift you into it.
Sailing on the river Thames two vessels
ran aground. The owners of one got 100
horses and pulled on the grounded ship
and pulled it to pieces. The owners of
the other grounded vessel waited till the
tides camo in and easiljMlaated the ship
out of all trouble. So we may pull and
haul at our grounded human nature and
try to get it into better condition, but
there is nothing like the oceanic tides of
God’s uplifting grace. If, when under
the flash of the Holy Ghost, we see our
own foibles and defects and depravities,
we 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
mote in it, the extraction of which would
keep you so busy you would not have
unuch time to shoulder your broadax and
go forth to split up the beam in your
neighbor’s eye. In a Christian spirit keep
on exploring the characters of those you
meet, and I 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 asl
arrive you take me out under the shadow
of tho great elms. You take me down to
the artificial lake, the spotted trout float
ing in and out among the white pillars of
the pond lilies. You take me to the stalls
i
and kennels where you keep your fine
•took* h<Nf® ftre the Durham cattle uud
the Gordon setters, and the high stepping
steeds, by pawing and neighing, the only
language they can speak, asking for har
ness or saddle and a short turn down the
road. Then we go back to the house, and
'you get me in the right light, and show
me the Kensetts and the Bierstadts on the
wall, * nl l tab® me Inta the music room
and show me the birdcages, the canaries
in the bay window answering the robins
In the tree taps. Thank you! I never en
joyed myself more in the same length of
time. Now, why do we not do so with tho
characters of others, and show the bloom
and the music and the bright fountains?
No. We say: “Come along and let me
show you that man’s character. Hare is a
green scuibmed frog pond, and there’s a
filthy cellar, and I guess under that hedge
there must be a black snake. Come and
let us for an hour or two regale ourselves
with the-nuisances.”
Cover Up the Faults.
Oh, my friends, better cover up the
faults and extol the virtues, and this habit
once established of universal friendliness
will become as easy as it is for a syringa
to flood the air with sweetness, as easy as
it will be further on in the season for a
quail to whistle up from the grass. When
we hear something bad about somebody
whom we always supposed to be good, take
out your lead pencil and say: “Let me seel
Before I accept that baleful story against
that man’s character I will take off from
it 25 per cent for the habit of exaggeration
which belongs to the man who first told
the story; then I will take off 25 per cent
for the additions which the spirit of gossip
in every community 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 temptation. So I have taken off 75
per cent. But I have not heard his side of
tho story at all, and for that reason I take
off tho remaining 25 per cent. Excuse me,
sir, I don’t believe a word of it.”
But here comes in a defective maxim, so
often quoted, “Where there is so much
smoke there must be some fire. ” Look at
all the smoke for years around Jenner, the
introducer of vaccination; and the smoke
around Columbus, the discoverer; and the
smoko around Martin Luther and Savona
rola and Galilee and Paul and John and
tell me where was the fire! That is one
of the Satanic arts, to make smoke without
fire. Slander, like the world, may be
made out of nothing. If the Christian,
fair minded, common sensical spirit in re
gard to others predominated in the world,
we should have the millennium in about
six weeks, for would not that be lamb and
lion, cow and leopard, lying down togeth
er? Nothing but the grace of God can
ever put us into such a habit of mind and
heart as that. The tendency is in the op
posite direction. This is the way the
world talks: 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
back of any man’s note. I gave a beggar
10 cents, and five minutes after I saw him
entering a liquor store to spend it; I will
never again give a cent to a beggar. I
helped that young man start in business,
and, 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 was
right before he corrected himself, for “all
men are liars.” So men become suspi
cious and saturnine and selfish, and at ev
ery additional wrong done them they put
another layer 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 SI,OOO or
misinterpreted or disappointed or betrayed,
and higher goes the wall and faster goes
another 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 friends to others, others are no friends
to them. There’s an island half way be
tween England, Scotland and Ireland call
ed the Isle of Man, and the seas dash
against all 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 disposition 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
Isle of Man.
The Folse of the Head.
Now, supposing that you have by adi
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 the 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 back invitee vertigo, but to drop
the chin in greeting is accompanied with
so little exertion that all day long and ev
ery day you 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
fingers 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
together, all the faculties of the hand give
emphasis to the salutation. Five sermons
in every healthy hand urge us to hand
shaking.
Besides 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
it is demonstrated in girth and color, say,
•‘How well you look!” But if, on the oth
er hand, under the wear and tear of life he
appears 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 by your
words given another impulse toward the
robust and the jocund, while in the case
of the failing health you have arrested the
decline by your silence, by which be 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 Jet ten men meet us at cer
tain pointe on our way over to business,
and let each one say, “How sick you
look!” though we should start out well,
after meeting the first and 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, wo would go Ipome and go to bed,
and the other six pessimists would be a
useless surplus of discouragement.
My dear air, my dear madam, what do
you mean by going about this WlMftlWlft
dtoheortenmenta? Is not the supply of
gloom and trouble and misfortune enough
to meet tlsa demand without your running
a factory of pins and spikes? Why should
you plant black and blue in tho world
when God so seldom plants them? Plenty
of scarlot colors, plenty of yellow, plenty
of green, plenty of pink, but very seldom
a plant black or blue. I never saw a black
flower, and them’s only here and there a
bluebell or a violet, but tho blue is for the
most part reserved for tho sky, and we
have t<> look up to see that, and.when we
look up no color can do us harm. Why
not plant along the paths of others the
brightnesses instead of the glooms?
Do not prophesy misfortune. If you
must be a prophet at all, be an Ezekiel
and not a Jeremiah. In ancient times
prophets who foretold evil were doing
right, for they were divinely directed, but
tee prophets of evil in our time are gener
ally false prophets. Some of our weather
wise jjcople prophesied we would have a
summer of
a very comfortable summer. Last fall all
the weather prophets agreed in saying we
should have a winter of extraordinary se
verity, blizzard on the heels of blizzard.
It was the mildest winter I ever remember
to have passed. Indeed the autumn and
the spring almost shaved winter out of the
proooMion Beal troubles have no heralds
running ahead of their somber chariots,
and no one has any authority in our time
to announce their coming. Load yourself
up with hopeful words and deeds. The
hymn once sung in our churches is unfit
to be sung, for it says: «
We should suspect some danger near
Where we possess delight.
In other words, manage to keep miser
able nil the time. The old song sung at
the pianos a quarter of a century ago was
right;—* * Kind words can never die. ” Such
kind words have their nests in kind hearts,
and when they are hatched out and take
wing they circle round in flights that nev
er cease, and sportsman’s gun cannot
shoot them, and storms cannot ruffle their
wings, and when they cease flight in these
lower skies of earth they sweep around
amid the higher altitudes ot heaven. At
Baltimore 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
me the very words I had uttered the day
before and with the same intonations.
Scold into a phonograph, and it will scold
back. Pour mild words into a phono
graph, and it will return the gentleness.
Society and the world and the church are
phonographs. Give them acerbity and
rough treatment, and acerbity and rough
treatment you will get back. Give them
practical friendliness, and they will give
back practical friendliness. A father ask
ed fils little daughter, “Mary, why la it
that everybody loves you?” She answer
ed, “I don’t know, unless it is because 1
love everybody.” “A man that hath
friends must show himself friendly.”
Th® Spirit of Sacrifice.
We want something like that spirit of
sacrifice for others which was seen in ths
English channel, where in th i storm a
boat containing throe men was upset, and
all three 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 Tom. He is just ready to go
down. I can 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 bo tho friends of God if we want
him to be our friend. We cannot treat
Christ badly all our lives and expect him
to treat us lovingly. 1 Was reading of a
sea fight in which Lbrd 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 forgiveness. You must give up your
rebellious sword before 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 we
had God for us. He could in a minute
blot out this universe, and in another
minute make a better 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 of 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 he should put hand and arm and
shoulder and foot to utmost tension, what
Could be 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 rammer day
when all the doors and windows are 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
came 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 was no one to cry to.” Now, I
have to tell you that while human sym
pathy may be absent, divine sympathy is
alway accessible. Give God your love, and
get his love; your service, and 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 hurl you out of earth it would only
hurl yon into heaven.
Th® Two Christians.
If God is your friend, you cannot go out
of the world too quickly or suddenly, so
far as your own happiness is concerned
There were two Christians who entered
heaven. The one was standing at a win
dow in perfect health, watching a shower,
and the lightning instantly slew him, but
the lightning did not flash down the sky
as swiftly as his spirit flashed upward.
The Christian man who died on the same
day next door bad been for a year or two
failing in health, and for the last three
months bad 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 who wqpt instantly
was more desirable than the one who en
tered the shining gate through a long lane
of insomnia and congestion? In the one
case it was like your standing wearily at a
door, knocking qnd 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-

what James Marshall, th© miner, did in
1848 in California, before its gold mines
were known. He reached in and put upon
the table of hto employer, Captain Sutter,
a thimbleful of gold dust. “Where did
you get -that?” said his employer. The
reply was, “I got it this morning from a
mill race from which the water had been
drawn off.” But that gold dust, which
oould have been taken up between the fin
ger and the thumb, was the prophecy 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 all time
and all eternity go on with the exploration.
