Good Behavior.

Is more routtesy in this country
than in England, especially among
the common people. Yet, there
are More outeomes OF American
life more disadvantageous. There
is much selt.reliance and little in.
terierence with one another. Per
haps there is not enough of inter.
ference with Others. The spirit OF
Christianity is consideration for
one another. Let us consider first
the place aud value OF good behar.
ioI. We are all ia the world living
and working together, our paths
interweaving. What an Intricate
thing II is! We are parts of one
great body-parts OF AN intricate
machine. Tue elementary beauty
OF each individual Is the fntilment
each OF his own special junction.
Each has TO be just, capable and
fair in his place aud work. Accu.
rate fitting of the parts of u ma.
chine is not all needed. Oil is re-
quired. Our life functions bring us
together, our movements and do
ings working together.
Good manuers, courtesy, pleas.
ant behavior Is this oil that 10
needed. Some say wha; We have
TO do with good manners between
master aud vorkmaui Every
creaking bearing In the social ma.
chine means loss OF power. All
heating and friction must be avoid.
ed. "Fair words butter no par.
snips,' is I'm old adagc. But they
do much Ia a store where clerks
are attentive aud 0bliging. Gus.
toners will be more likely to come.
SO IN all things The faculty OF
mastersLip is largely behavior.
The man on the committee who il
courteous Is worth two who are
not. Courteous msnners aud fair
words, il they do not put money in
the pocket, they sweeteu life aad
make it more endnrublc. Let us
now consider tue sources OF good
