SERMON ON .TACT."
A Little Thing, but It Can Accom-.
plish Great Deal

At Westminster Presbyterian Church
esterdny the pastor, Rev. r. j. John
ston1 delivered two interesting dis
courses. His morning subject was 1.-THE
Place Of Tact in Religion the text be-
ing I. Cor tx, 22-tI am made all
things to all men," or as the revised
version has it, II have become all things
| to all men"
Tact has been defined, he said. as in
| fallibility. It is rather direction or di-
recting. Ecclesiastes, the preacher,
wrote, Wisdom is better than
strength" The result of the battle is
not always on the side of the strongest.
1t generally depends on the tact of the
| commanding General. Tact is one of
the foundations Of the church.
| The Apostle Paul was a man of great
firmnesS, yet he was gifted with tact.
He was steadfast in his convictions His
address before King Agrippai was given
with conviction, and yet with such tact
that at its close King Agrippa was
| forced to say, Almost thou persuadest
! me to be a Christian The Prophet
| Nathan used tact in his method of in
forming King David that he had COM
mitted a great sin. Mark Antony in
his GRAFTON at Caesars funeral, used
tact in the opening of his address. He
dare not praise Caesar neither would
| it do to condemn Brutus, SO he starts
out by saying that he came to bury
Caesar, and not to praise. But before
he closes his address he carries his au-
oitors with him as against Caesars
slayer. Truly wisdom is better than
strength.
Sometimes it is said you we'll know
what a preacher is by what he breaches.
The speaker said he felt that he himself
| needed more tact. The church mem
bers also needed to exercise more tact
with each other. Tact would keep peo-
pie from being coarse and vulgar. A
man may be we'll educated, he may be
a university graduate, and yet be coarse
and vulgar. man once went up to
General Jackson and said: General
| have always voted against you" The
hero of New Orleans looked at him and
said: and I have fought the battles
| of my country that you might have the
opportunity to vote against me-
Tact will prevent people from
thoughtlessly giving others pain. A
word once uttered cannot be recalled
1t will not avail to apologize-to say
you are sorry, that you did not intend
to hurt the feelings. The word has
been uttered, and the sting can never
be entirely taken away. A little tact
would have prevented the saying of the
word. Tact will bring Gods people
closer together. People have been
driven from the church by want of tact
Charles Bradlaugh was one of these
even into infideiity. If souls are to be
won, tact must be used. He did not
mean to say that men can always be
won by tact, because there are some
who cannot be Won by any means.
Tact will make peoples lives happier
and make those who use it more useful
Tact in the home will make it happier;
tact in business will make it a success,
instead of failure

broncho-pneumonia, had a serious re-
lapse at noon to-day. Her physicians
were in constant attendance through
out the afternoon and early this even
ing the last sacrament was admins
tered. AT that hour there seemed nc

o'clock this evening showed slight
improvement and afforded a base fol-
reviving hope.
All the members of the family have
been summoned.

daughter of the late Archduke Joseph
of Austria, was born August %, 1896
She married King Leopold H. of Bel
GUM, then the Belgian Crown Prince

cended the throne on the death of King
Leopold L., in December, 1865
The King and Queen of Belgium have
three children, all daughters. The eld-
est, Princess Louise, was married to
Prince Philip of Sake Coburg and
Gotha. She recently separated from
her husband and is said to be mentally
deranged.
The second daughter, Princess
Stephanie, married the late Archduke
Rudolph of Austria, the imperial Prince
who committed suicide on January 30
1885,
The third daughter is Princess Gle
mentine, now in her twenty-seventh
year. -

Taken altogether, the game was
greatly enjoyed by every one present.
The ginger shown by the players on
both sides caused much favorable COM
