Every man. II we knew his inner
life. would have an appeal for our
compassion and therefore a call for
our courtesy.
Let us be courteous, not only to
friends, but also to foes; for why
should We allow them to wrong us
more by melting us to dis-courtesy?
The tongue is the castle of courtesy.
We are to seek peace, to pursue it.
and not merely to allow 1t.
Suggestions.
Manners maketh men," says the
old maxim. Manners are men.
We often give least courtesy to
those for whom we care the most
to our friends and those in our home.
True courtesy is not moved by hope
of gain; 1t is tested by our conduct
toward the poor and interiors.
Courtesy requires leisure; haste de-
stroys It, Many men have not leisure
enough to succeed.
illustrations.
Courtesy Is like oil. l.--on the waves
of life. on the dust of life, in the bear
ings of life.
Courtesy shown only to strangers is
like fine coat over a ragged and
dirty shirt.
The grace of courtesy is bought
with the coin of sympathy and
thoughtfulness. 1t costs little, and
no investment pays so large dividends.
All gentlemen wear a uniform, but
It is to the mind and not to the eye,
for 1t Is courtesy.
Quotations.

human enough-Joubert.

the purest courtesy in the outward
behavior.-Goethe.

Duty.

or woman who, early in life, works
out this formula for the place of
duty which is assigned to him in
mems affairs. Duty is no separate
business, no part of my self-culture
no service for which / am to be paid
at the ticket office of heaven. Duty
Is my part of an Infinite service which
an infinite number OF Gods children
must render before Gods kingdom
comes. 1t is lifted from a little per.
sonal affair to its own place in close
relationship with the movement of
the universe. 1t seems to me not
hard to make even children under

The Spiritual Magnifylng Glass.

Great duties thrust upon true

own littleness. Joshua, at the head
of his nation, following in the steps
of the mighty Moses, could we'll have
shrunk from his sask had not the
Lord said to him, This day will l
begin to magnify thee in the sight of
all Israel" How came the great
change about? Partly through
growth in the man himself and
strengthening of all his powers, but
mostly, we believe, through a change
In the peoples view of him. The
one hated scout of Kadesh-B -Barnea

ers of sincere and humble spirit.
What though you feel unworthy of
the love and praise of your people or
your class, pastor or teacher? God
knows, and He is magnifying you in
the sight of Others. in order that He
may accomplish the more through
you. What though your life seems
far below your profession? Abide
in Christ, and He can work wonders
through the magnified impression of
Himself in you. Faith removes
mountains by first reducing them to
mole hills, but love triumphs by first
casting halo of glory about its OBJ

strengthen me this day." but we
ought also to pray, Lord magnify

In recent address S. |. Roberts,
superintendent of cotton works in
Danville. Va. said: THE effect of the
saloon upon children OF the laborer,
according to my observation (and II
is not very limited). is indescribably
sad. A few years ago, when there
were saloons in Danville, went to
the mill one Monday morning quite
early, and as the operatives came into
their respective departments l noticed
a little girl and boy, who seemed
only TO have been at work few days.
The little girl looked thin and
pale, and shortly after the machinery
started up she came over to where l
was and said, Mr.. Roberts, am so
weak and feel so badly cannot work
to-day; brother and have not had a
mouthful of breakfast. and mother is

They came. and I promptly said
to the father that we would not allow
his children to work for us longer ex-
cept on one condition. Says he,
What is that?' l answered that the
wages they made must be drawn by
the mother and used by her to obtain
food and clothes for the children, and
that he must not touch the money or
have anything to do with making the
purchases. After some hesitation,
and seeing that argument was use
less. he agreed.
"A few days later | was driving
along the street and barkeeper
came out of a saloon and hailed me
to stop. He came up to my buggy
and said, Look here, Mr. Roberts,
you are interfering with my business
