A Sermon for Today
Never Done by Big Men.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUNt..

Text-"God is mighty and despiseth
not any."---Job, xxxvi.5.
Yet there are men who despise their
fellows And they think themselves
superior. They think themselves great
and mighty. In their conceit thew
condemn and despise other men, whom
they regard as little men and beneath
them.
God is mighty and despiseth not
any No. not even the poorest and
the weakest. Indeed, it is the glory of
His mightinesS that it stoops to reach
down friendly hand to the lowest and
humblest Of men. Gods bigness does
not make Him bigoted 1t does not
separate Him from any of His crea-
lures and cause Him to despise them.
rather He Is drawn to them in their
Iowiy estate. Instead of despising them
he desires and seeks to share with them
His great might and wisdom.
In this respect we behold a likeness
to God IN the truly superior man. A
really big man never sneers at any of
ms fellow men. however common they
may be. He does not despise or shun
any man because he does common work
and wears common clothes He does not
fancy himself above those around him
He IS not conscious Of his superiority
and does not try to make anybody else
conscious Of it, Instead of his superior
qualities and advantages making him
oigoted, they make him all the more
brotheriy
Superiority reveals itself not in pride
and haughtineSs, but in meekness and
humility. Never try to impress others
mat you are big man by acting big.
mat is something only small men do.
only small men assume themselves
superior and important and put on airs.
Only small men despise and sheer at
their fellows. fancying themselves above
them. These are things never done by
big men.

August q, l800,--Writing today to
Secretary OF State John Marshall. the
City Commissioners told of their re-
neWed efforts to raise money to COM
plete the public buildings in Washing

failure once more of that plan. The
letter declared that such sales "only

6 per cent stock from the sale of which
at the market value about $40 900 was
realized. But much more money than
this was needed, and it was for that
reason that the Commissioners this
month decided again to attempt the
experiment OF reyiving the old expedi-
ent OF public sale Of city lots.
For the first time In the history Of
the new city the Commissioners are
making liberal concessions TO BUYERS of
the city lots, providing always that they
become builders Heretofore such con-
cessions have been tried, but not on so
extensive a scale. Instead Of taking off
a lew cents on the square foot as an
lnducement to builders. the Commits
Si0ners this month cut the prices al
most In half.

persons here and elsewhere In The coun-
