Text: 11 Given to Hospitality” —Romans,
cii.. IS.
There is danger that the multiplication of
targe and commodious hotels in our towns,
and cities, and villages, will utterly extermi
nate that grace which Abraham exhibited
when he entertained the angels, and which
Lo' showed when he wutched for guests at
Hte of the city, and which Christ recog
as a positive requisite for entering
1, when he declared: “I was a stranger
and ye took Me in. ”
I propose to speak this morning of the trials
ind rewords of Christian hospitality. The
first trial often comes in the whim and ec
centricity of the guest himself. There are
a great many excellent people who have pro
tuberances of disposition, an l sharp edges of
temperament, and unpliability of character,
which make them a positive nuisance in any
house where they stay. On short acquaint
ance they will begin to command the house
hold affairs, order the employes to unusual
•ervico, keep unseasonable horn’s, uso narcotics
In places offensive to sensitive nostrils, put
their feet at unusual elevations, drop the ashes
ot their Havana on costly tapestry, open
bureaus they ought never to touch, and pry
Into things they ought never to see, and be
come impervious to rousing bells, and have
all the peculiarities of the gormandizer or the
dyspeptic, and make excavations from poor
dentistry with unusual implements, and in
a thousand ways afflict the household which
proposes to take care of them. Added to all.
they stay too long. Tb »y have no idea when
their welcome is worn out, and they
would be unmoved even by the bless ng
which my friend Gerrit Smith, the philan
thropist, asked one morning at his breakfa;t
table, on the day when he hoped that the
tong protracted gueste would depart, saying:
•*0 Lord, bless this provision, and our friends
who leave ns today!” But, my friends,
there are alleviations to be put on their side
of the scale. Perhaps they nave not had the
lame refining influences about them in early
life that you have had. Perhaps they have
inherited eccentricities that they cannot help.
Perhaps it is your duty, by example, to show
them a better way. Perhaps they arc sent to
boa trial for the development of your
patience. Perhaps they were to bo intended
as an illustration of tne opposite of what
you are trying to inculcate in the minds of
your children. Perhaps it is to make your
borne the brighter when they are gone.
When our guests are cheery, and fascinating,
and elegant, it is very easy to entertain
them; but when wo find in our guests that
which is antagonistic to our taste and senti
ment, it is a positive triumph when we can
obey the words of my text and be “given to
hospitality.” _
Another trial in the using of this grace is
In the toil and expense of exercising it. In
tee well regulated household things go
smoothly, but now you have introduced a
foreign element into the machinery, and
though you may stoutly declare that they
must take things as they find them, the
Martha will break in. The ungovernable
stove, the ruined dessert, the joint that
proves to be umnasticable, the delayed mar
keting, the perplexities of u caterer, the diffi
culty of doing proper work, and yet always
being presentable. Though you may say
there shall be no care or anxiety, there will
be care and there will be anxiety. In 1094
the Captain-General provided a very grand
entertainment, and among other things he
had a fountain in his garden—a fountain of
strong drink. In it were four hogsheads of
brandy, eight hogsheads of water, twenty
five thousand lemons, thirteen liunredweight
of Lisbon sugar, five pounds of gratol nut
meg, three hundred toasted biscuits, and a
boat built on purpose was placed in the foun
tain, and a boy rowed around it and filled
the cups of the people who came there to be
supplied. Well, you say that was a lux
urious entertainment, and of course the
man had no anxiety; but I have to tell you,
that though j'ou had, or propose, an enter
tainment like that, you have anxiety. In
that very thing comes the Divine reward.
We were bora to serve; and when we serve
others we serve Cod. The flush on’ that
woman’s cheek, as she l>ends over the hot
stove, is as sacred in God s sight as the flush
zji the'cheek of one who, on a hot day,
preaches the Gospel. We may serve God
with plate, and cutlery, and broom, as cer
tainly as we can serve Him with psalm book
and liturgy. Margaret, Queen of Norway,
and Sweden, and Denmai k, had a royal cup
of ten lips, on which was recorded the names
of the guest* who had drunk from this cup.
And every Christian woman has a royal cup,
on which are written all the names of those
who have ever been entertained by her in
Christian style—names not cut by human
Ingenuity, but written by the hand of a
Divine Je6us. But, my mends, you are not
to toil unnecessarily. Though the fare be
plain, cheerful presidency of the table, and
cleanliness of appointments will bo good
enough for anybody that ever comes to
you** house. John Howard was invited to
the house of a nobleman. He said: “I will
come on one condition, and that Is, that
you have nothihg but potatoes on the table.”
The requisition was complied with. Cyrus,
King of Persia, under the same circumstances,
prescribed that on the table thore must be
nothing but bread. Os course those were
extremes, but they are illustrations of tho
fact that more depends upon the banqueters
than mion the banquet. I want to lift this
Idea of Christian entertainment out of a posi
tive bondage into a glorious inducement.
Kvery effort you put forth, and every dollar
you give to the entertainment ot friend or
you give directly to Christ. Burmoae it
were announced that the Lord Jesus
would come to this place this week, what
woman in this house would not be glad to
wash for Him, or spread for Him a bed, or
bake bread for Him ? There was one of old
who washed for Him, drawing the water
from the well of her own tears. He is com
ing, He will be here to-morrow. “ Inasmuch
as ye have done it to one of the least of these,
my brethren, ye have done it to Me ” In pict
ure galleries we have often seen representa
tions of Walter Scott nn 1 his friends, or
Washington Irving with his associates; but
•11 those engravings will fade out, while
through everlasting ages, hanging luminous
and conspicuous, will be the picture of you
and your Christian guests.
You see we have passe! out from the trials
into the rewards of Christian hospitality;
grand, glorious, and eternal. The first re
ward of Christian hospitality is tho Divine
benediction. When any one attends to
this duty, God’s blessing comes upon him,
upon his companion, upon his children, upon
his dining h.UI, upon his parlor, upon his
nursery. The blessing comes in at the front
door, and the back door, and down through
tho skylights. God draws a Jong mark of
credit for services received. Christ said to
Hi* disciples: “Ho that receivoth you, re
ceiveth Me; aad tie that giveth a cup of cold
water in tho name of a disciple shall in no
wise lose his reward.” As we have had so
vnaay things miordod against us in heaven,
it will be a satisfaction to have written on
unfailing archives, the fact that in the
month of May, or June, or September, or De
cember, 1087, we made the blissful mistake
of supposing that we were entertaining weak
m n l:ke ourselves, when lo! they showed
their pinions before th*v left, and wo found
out that they were angels unawares.
Another reward comes in the good wish**
•r.rl prayers of our guests. I do not think
one’s house ever gets over having had a e *od
man or woman abide there. George White
fleld used to scrat-h on the window of the
room where he was entertained a passage of
Bcripture, and in one case, after he left, tho
whole household was converted by the read
ing of that passage on the window nano. Tho
woman of Kbnnom furnished a little room I
over the wall for Klisha, and all the age«
hove heard the glorious cooswiuences. On a
cold, stormy winter night, my father enter
tained Trueman Osborne, the evangelist, and
through all eternity I will thank God that
Truemau Osborne stopped at otir house. How i
many of our guests have brought to use cor.
doleuce, and sympathy, and help! There is 1
a legend told of St. Seb&ld, that in his Christ
ian rounds he used to stop for entertainment
at the house of a poor cartwright. Corning
there one day, he found the cartwright
and his family freezing for the lack of
any fuel. St. Sebald ordered the man
to go out and break the icicles from
the side of the house and bring them in,
and the icicles were brought into the house,
and thrown on the hearth, and they began
to blaze Immediately, and the freezing family
fathered around and were warmed by them,
'hat was a legend; but how often have our
guests come in to gather up the cold, freezing
sorrows of our life, kindling them into illumi
nation, and warmth, and good cheer He
who opens his house to Christian bopitalitv,
turns those wh • are strangers into friends.
Years will go by, and there will be ’great
changes in you, and there will be great
Ganges in them. Some day you will be sit
ting In loneliness, watching a bereavement,
and you will get a letter in a strange hand
writing, and you will look at the post-office
mark, and say: “Why, I don’t know anybody
living in that city;” and you will break the
envelope, and there you will read the story
of thanks for your Christian generosity long
years before, and how they have heard afar
off of your trouble. And the letter will be so
full of kindly reminiscences and Christian
condolence, it will be a plaster large enough
to cover up all the deep gashes of your soul.
When we take people into our houses as Chris
tian guests, we take them into our sympathies
tor ever. In Dort, Holland, a soldier with a
sword at his side stopped at a house, desiring
lodging and shelf or. The woman of the house
at first refused admittance, saying that the
men of tho house were not at home; but when
he showed his credentials that he had been
honorably discharged from the army, he was
admitted and tarried during the night. In
the night-time there was a knocking at the
front door, and two ruffians broke in to de •
spoil that household. No sooner had they
come over the door-sill than the armed guest,
who had primed hjs pioce and charged it
with slugs, met them, and telling the woman
to stand back, I am happy to say, dropped
the two assaulting desperadoes dead at his
feet. Well, now there are no bandits prowling
around to destroy our houses; but how often
it is that we find those that have been our
guests become our defenders. We gave them
shelter first, and then afterwards in the great
conflicts of life they fought for our repu
tation; they fought for our property; they
fought for our soul.
Another reward that comas from Christian
hospitality is in the assurance that we shall
have hospitality shown to us and to ours. Ia
the up-turnings of this life, who knows in
what city or what land we may be thrown,
and how much we may nee i an open door?
There may come no such cris.s to us, but our
children may bo thrpsrn into some such
strait. He who is in a Christian manner hos
pitable has a free pass through all Christen
dom. It may be that you will have been
dead fifty years before any such stress shall
come upon one of your descendants; but do
you not suppose that Goi can remember
fiity years? And the knuckle of tho grand
child will be heard against tho door of some
stranger, and that door will open; and it will
be talked over in heaven, ana it will bo said:
“That man’s grandfather, fifty years ago,
gave shelter to a stranger, and now a
stranger’s door is open for a grandson. ”
Among tho Greeks, after entertaining and
being entertained, they take a piece or lead
and cut it in two, and the host takes one-half
of the pieco of lead and the guest the other
half as they part. These two pieces of lead
ore handed down from generation to genera
tion, and from family to family; and after
awhile perhaps one of the families tn want or
in trouble go out with this one piece of lead
and find the other family with tho corre
sponding piece of lead, and no sooner is the
billy completed than tho old hospitality is
aroused, and eternal friendship ph»dged. So
the memory of Christian hospitality will go
down from generation to generation, and
from family to family, and the tally will
never be lost, neither in this world nor the
world to come.
Mark this: the day will come when we will
all be turned out-of-doors, without any ex
ception—bare-foot, bare-head, no water in
the canteen, no bread in the haversack, and
we will go in that way into the future world.
And I wonder if eternal hospitalities will
open before us, and if we wifi be received
into everlasting habitations? Francis Fres
cobald was a rich Italian, and he was very
merciful and very hospitable. One day an
Englishman by the name of Thomas Crom
well appeared at his door asking for
shelter and alms, which were cheerfully
rendered. Frescobald afterward lost all his
property, became very poor, and wandered
up into'England: and one day he saw a pro
cession passing, an lo! it was the Lord Chan
cellor or England; and lo! the Lord Chancel
lor of England was Thomas Cromwell, the
very man whom he had once befriended in
Italy. The Lord Chancellor at the first glance
of Frescobald, recognized him, and dis
mounted from bis carriage, threw his arms
around him, embraced him jiaid his debts,
invited him to his hou?e, and said:
“ Here are ten pieces of money to pay for the
bread you gave me, and here are ten pieces of
money to provide for the horse you loaned
me, and here are four bags, in each of which
are four hundred ducats. Take them and be
well-” Bolt will be at last with us. If we
entertain Christ in the person of His disciples
in this world, when we pass up into the next
country, we will meet Christ in a regal pro
cession, and He will pour all the wealth
of heaven into our lap, and open before
us everlasting hospitalities. And O, how
tame are the richest entertainments we can
give on earth compared with the regal mu
nificence which Christ will display before our
souls in heaven! I was reading the account
which Thomas Fuller gives of the entertain
ment provided by George Neville. Among
other things for that banquet they had three
hundred quarters of wheat, one hundred and
four tuns of wine. eighty oxen, three thou
sand capons, two hundred cranes, two hun
dred kids, four thousand pigeons, four thou
sand rabbits, two hundred and four bitterns,
two hundred pheasants, five hundred
partridges, four hundre 1 plover, one
hundred quail, one hundred curlews, fifteen
hundred hot nasties, four thousand cold ven
ison pasties,four thousand custards—the Earl
of Warwick acting as steward —and servitors
one thousand. O, what a gr ind feast was
that! But then compare it with tho provision
which God has made for us on high: that
great banquet hour; the one hundred and
forty and four thousand guests; all the harps
and trumpets of hoaven as the orchestra; the
vintage of the celestial hills poured into the
tankards; all the fruits of the orchards of
God piled on the golden platters; tha.angels
of the Lord lor cup-bearers, and the once
folded starry banner of the blue sky flung
out over the scene, while seated at the head
of the table shall be the One who eighteen
centuries ago declared: “I was a stranger
and ye took Me in.” Our sins pardoned,
may we all mingle in those hospitalities 1
Buttermilk as a Popular Drink.
“Buttermilk has become an exceed,
iiiglv fashionable drink,” said one of our
restaurant keepera the other day. “It is
healthy and refreahing, and the public
are catching on to it right briskly. When

Physique of American Women
Mr. Higginson, in his “Common Sense
About Women,” is very angry with the
“physiological croakers” who represen
the American woman of to-day as having
lost the plump form and robust constitu
tion of her grandmother. He quotes n
French tourist in American, the Abbe
Robin, who wrote in 1782, that “at twen
ty years of age the women have no longer
the freshness of youth;” and another, L.
F. de Bcaujour, who wrote that “at the
age of twenty-five their form changes,
and at thirty the whole of their, charms
have disappeared.” Mr. Higginson is
convinced that the physique of American
men and women to-day is better than
was that of their grandparents who lived
in this country; and he attributes this im
provement to ‘ ‘the great increase of ath
letic games; the greatly increased pro
portion of seaside and mountain life in
summer; the thicker shoes and boots of
women and little girls, permitting them
to go out more freely in all weathers.”
and the increased habit of dining late,
which secures the professional and mer
cantile classes more time to digest thr u
principal meal.— Epoch.
The Quiet Girl.
The quiet girl never wears high color,
on the streets; you do not sec her flaunt
ing in brilliant plaids, when they happen
to be the style; when high hats are “in”
she does not pile hers so high that it
sweeps the cobwebs from the sky; she
does not wear an exaggerated bang when
the bang is in vogue, nor the biggest
bustle in town, nor the longest train to
her tea-gown, nor the greatest number of
bangles when bangles reign. But be
cause she does not chatter and giggle,
and make herself conspicuous in horse
cars or at matinees, does not announce
her convictions on all occasions and all
subjects, and profess her admiration at
every hand’s turn, itmust not be supposed
that she has no ideas or convictions or
enthusiasms; that she moves along like a
6tar in the heavens, which obeys tbc laws
of gravitation without selecting its
course, or objecting to its orbit. She is
quiet because she has no power to make
herself heard, to change her conditions,
or because she is maturing that power.
In the meantime it is the quiet girl who
marries earliest, who makes the best
match, who fills the niches which her
more brilliant sisters leave vacant, who
manages the servants, runs the sewing
machine, remembers the birthdays, listens
to the reminiscences of the old, and often
keeps the wolf from the door.— Harper's
Bazar.
A Woman’s Conversation.
What a woman should aim at in con
versation is not only to entertain by giv
ing her own thoughts, but at the same
time to draw out those of others,
especially the bashful, and particularly
the bashful men. Nothing pleases a man
so much, nothing gives him such an idea
of his superiority, as to allow him an
opportunity of imparting information,
though he may not have penetration
enough to discern that it is the tact of
the woman that entices him into talking
about what perhaps he knows less than
she. I remember hearing it remarked
of Mrs. Cleveland that she was a charm
ing conversationalist, because she always
chose topics which 6hc knew would in
terest others, and in this lies the whole
secret of the art of conversing. A cele
brated French woman, who had neither
wealth, beauty nor position to elevate
her in social circles, rose to the highest
rank among the rourt during the latter
days of royalty, simply by her art of
pleasing in her conversation. Brilliancy
in conversation is not the es
sential characteristic. Some of the
most charming talkers are anything tyut
witty or learned; but the truth is we love
to hear those speak who really feel what
they say, whose words are choice with
out being studied, and natural and easy
without being childish or slangy. Wo
love to listen to those whose purity of
soul shines in their conversation, and we
feci that words arc but the personifica
tion of the beauty within.— Philadelphia
Times.

The Railway Age says: “It is probable
that the number of miles of new road
constructed in tho United States (luring
1887 will be about 12,000. This figure
is the greatest on record. It has never
been approached except in 1882, when
the total was 11,508 miles. Track-laying
for 1887, up to Beptemlier 1, aggregates
0,402 miles. Kansas still continues far
in the. lead over the other Htalcs in ths
work of railway construction. ’’
A Man With Eleotrlo Fingers.
Anton Saverne, a Belgian cabinet
maker employed at a Kensington ship
yard, has the wonderful power of pro
ducing electric sparks by rubbing his
fingers. Saverne is a little, swarthy fel
low, about forty years old, with a bushy
head of black hair, keen blue eyes—very
rare among bis countrymen—and very
small hands. Ilis motions prove that he
is excessively nervous, and his senses of
hearing, sight, and smell, as he assured
a reporter of the Daily News yesterday,
arc unusually acute. His parents still
live on a farm in Belgium, near Brussels,
and he is the youngest of a family of
eleven children.
“ I know not how I do it, ” he said last
evening, as the reporter saw sparks shoot
from Saverne's fifigers. The cabinet
maker rubbed his finger tips rapidly up
and down uponhis trousers. Then, hold
ing his hands out with the fingers widely
extended, jets of tiny yellow flames, or
long sparks, shot out. They seemed pro
polled by some unseen force ten or twelve
inches into the air, when they vanished.
Tile right hand appeared more charged
with electricity, if the sparks are elec
tric, than the left. The lamp in Saverne’s
front room was put out so that the sparks
might be seen in all their brilliancy. It
was a wonderful sight. Again and agair.
did the bushy-headed Belgian rub his
fingers and hold them out while tiny
showers of bright sparks darted out as if
from toy fireworks.
“I was not always so,” said Saverne,
lighting the lamp and bis black pipe,
filled with villainous tobacco at the samt
time. “When I had been sick ten years
ago it was said I would die. I lay so
weak one night in my father’s house
when there rnmo up a storm. Such
thunder and lightning I never knew be
fore. A rid my body had such queer sen
sations. While I lay, covered up with
bedclothes, my mother sat holding her
face in her hands by my side ; and ]
seemed io feel a thousand ncedtes prick -
ing my limbs and chest and the soles of
my feet. It was not so painful, for queer
thrills came with every prick, and when
tire thunder rolled away and tho rain
stopped i rose up, leaned back, and put
out my hand to take that of my moth
er’s. My eyes were closed, but I heard
her cry, ‘Anton!’
“ ‘What?’ I gasped weakly.
“ ‘Your hand.’
“I looked at it. The one nearest to
her. It was all aflame. I was terrified.
My cry brought my father and sisters to
the room. They looked at me in horror.
I took my other hand from the clothes
to rub the right. Sparks shot from the
lingers of the left. Soon they died
away, but I have only to rub my hands as
you have seen and the lights come,”
Saverne toid of the hardships brought
upon him by his singular faculty. The
neighboring peasants in Belgium avoided
him and told awful stories of iris being
in league with the devil. Men would
not hire him to plow or in harvest time.
His own family clung to him, but the
farm was small and he came to this coun
try five years ago. Here lie learned the
cabinet-making trade and got employ
ment at finishing ship interiors. But
when his companions saw his faculty or
infirmity they 'rented him coldly. His
ignorant neighbors in Schleswig street
regard him as possessed of an evii spirit.
Saverne’s electric fingers are the curse of
his existence.— Philadelphia Press
