NEED NOT BE TOO ABRUPT
Valuable Thing for a Man to Acquire
Is the Ability to Say "No" in
Pleasant Manner.

Many a man in private affairs or
IN public office creates needless COM
pllcatlons because he is unwilling or
unable to return the soothing, Dip
lomatic answer that turneth awav
wrath, and to decline a request with
a certain unctuous graciousness that
almost robs it of the sense of mega
ton.
Often it is not the "no" that
batf1ed importantly resents-it is the
way the mo" is uttered. The flat re-
fusal is somehow made to sound as
though its peremptoriness left in the
hard, cold, cruel mind of the refuser
no lingering regret. The astute, tact
full, clever person knows how to tenn
per the wind to the one whose plea
must be rejected. There is blend
ing of kindness and frmness that
pours oil on troubled waters. Resent
ment is disarmed and opposition
lulled to rest by the placating syl-
lables of the terms in which the re-
fusal is couched.
Many strong, resolute characters
utterly repudiate such conciliatorv
tactics as weak and effeminate. They
believe in ''blurting it right out"
when they have reached an infex-
ible decision; in saying what they
think, in striking from the shoul-
der, in being positive, fortnight and
blunt. 1t sounds Napoleonic, heroic,
masterful, but, as a matter of fact,
these persons of Homeric or Saxon
outspokenness often have to lean
upon the services of others, in affairs
that require any delicacy or concili-
atory courtesy. The man of uncom-
promising and rigid austerity is adj
mirable, but sometimes he makes
virtue odious; he does nothing inn
moral if he discloses human sympa-
thies and generous willingness to
consider an opposing point of view
before its final refutation at his
hands.

REMARKABLE CHORUS
At GOSPEL MISSION
TWice-Born Men Rescued From
Evil Life Form Bands of
Gospel Singers.

A most unique band OF singers COM
posed of the converts of the Gospel
Mission are filling the Mission hall
nightly by their gospel Of song.
These men nave only recently been
converted and all have seen better
days. Never in Washington has such
a group of men formed themselves into
a band OF gospel Singers. A converted
bartender sings beside one OF his erst-
while victims who a short time ago
came to the Mission suffering with
delirium tremeas; one was once bank
official in Norway who lost a fortune
in dissipation. who came undone. Be.
side him is q. !uan who was a gambler.
The man who sings tenor was an
opium fiend vino had n penitentiary
record Others were sailors. One was
around the world with n battle ship of
Uncle Sans. All were saved from the
curse OF drink.
These men are, according to the su-
perintendent. II. W. Kline, the greatest
attraction in Washington. Reborn
men, modern miracles and an evening
spent at the Gospel Mission in listening
TO the songs and stories of their con-
version and what led up to it will con-
vince the most skeptical that the days
of miracles are not passed and the
Gospel OF Christ has lost none OF its
