EpWORTH LEAGUE DISCUSSION.

, at best It Is generally prompted by the
desire for the rewards 1t may bring,
though we do occasionally ind one VINO
sees in his business not merely q means
, of securing wealth, but rather an OPP
portunity Of rendering real service to
others.
Real courtesy is, however, much more
than this; 1t is the natural and unaf-
feeted expression Of the spirit OF un-
selfish love-it is the grace that crys-
tailizes into words and actions toward
others the kindness Of a noble heart
and soul. In the sight of God. courtesy
Is not mere formality. a veneer, COW
ering to hide the real motives Of sell
fishness within-for ss such it cannot
! avail; but rather is 1t the real and nat
ural expression of the life and love
within. 1t is virtue and a grace.
Courtesy was the outstanding CHAR
acteristic of Christ; He never had oc-
,, casfon to offer an Apologize was a
perfect gentleman, not merely In the
sense that He had polished manners. put
| in the sense that His life expressed the
perfection of the soul within. He broke
away from all conventionalities of form,
| overturned the Mosaic law, and estab-
lished a new standard of courtesy-the
golden rule standard. He distinguished
| between true and false courtesy In the
! story of the good samaritan, the priest
| and the levite. Having established the
standard by teaching the true principle
of courtesy and having illustrated IT by
His whole life, Christ then provided that
His followers might reach that standard
also-He sent the Holy Spirit to estab-
lish within them the perfect spirit life
! which produces the perfect external
life. Courtesy. therefore. grows in, and
not on. the life of the Christian 1t Is
not put on like a garment, but It 10 the
outpouring of the love within. 1t Is the
fruit of the Holy Spirit in the heart
of the Christian-it is a Christian grace
Paul understood the meaning Of true
courtesy, and recognized 1t as Chris
| tian grace. In his letter to the church
at Rome he points out some or the
ways in which this standard applies.
BE kindly affectioned one to another
with brotherly love: in homo honor prefer Ter
things, but condescend to men of low
estate. Be not wise in your own con-
ceits." When he was on trial before
King Agrippa he won the kings imme-
diate approval by his courtesy In rec
ognizing the good points in the king
| his knowledge of the history and law
and prophecy of the Jews.
| AS Paul exemplified courtesy as a
Christian grace. so it is the privilege
as we'll as the duty Of every Christian
to maintain this standard There are
many difficulties to overcome before IT
can be attained. one of the greatest OF
which. in this day of hurry and rush
through life, is to find the time. We
hate to stop and take the time to do
the simple little act Of courtesy. or
speak the kind word, but we may well
remember what Emerson said: Life is
not SO short but that there Ia always
time enough for courtesy" There are
other difficulties equally great. but we
can overcome them all-not in our own
strength. but by trusting In Christ
promise, MY grace is sufficient for
| thee"
