Airost every person has some one imder him. How do you treat that clerk, that servant, that assistant, that employe? Do you accost him in brusque terms and rough' y command him to do that which you mirht kindly ask him to do? The first words that the Duke of Wellington uttered were, "If you please." That conqueror in what was in some respects tne, greatest oatt'e ever fought in his last hours, asked by his ser vant if, he would take some tea, replied, "If you please." Ms last words an expres sion of courtesy. Beautiful characteristic m any cass. lne tiay Jaborer m cweden, .frat without ever seeing a botanist or a chemist we know what a rose is and what water and light are. Do not take our time in telling us what courtesy is. ' Only show us how we may get more of it and avoid what are its counterfeits. Mark you, it arinot -be put on or dramatized sucess fully for a long while. We may be full of bows and genuflections, and smiles and complimentary phrase, and have nothing .of genuine courtesy either in our make-up or in our demeanor.

Christian courtesy is born in the heart by the power of the Holy Ghost, who has transformed and illumined and glorified one V nature. Mark you, I am speaking of the highest kind of courtesy, which is Christian courtesy.- Something" like it-or-dinary politeness may grow Up with us under the direction of intelligent, and watchful parentage, but I am not speaking of that which is merely agreeableness of conversation and behavior. All that mav be a matter of tutelage and fine surround ing and show itself in lif tins the hat to passer3-by and in a graceful way of asking about your health and sending the right kind of acceptance when you cannot go and understanding all the laws of prefer ence at table and parlor door, all of which Is well. I nm speaking of a principle of courtesy fo inmlanted in one's nature that bis suavity of conversation and manner 6hall be the outburst of what he feels for the appine33 and welfare of others, n principle that will work in the next world as well as in this, and will be as appro priate in the mansions of heaven as in earthly dwelling places. Now, you know as well as I do that some of the most undesirable people have been seeming incarnations of courtesy. In our early American history there arose a man of wonderful talent, an impersonation of all that can charm drawing rooms and cultivated circles. Aged men who knew him in their youth have told me that he .was the most irresistible man they ever met, his voice silvery, his smile bewitch ing, his glove immaculate, his eye piercing, fcis high i forehead wreathed! in curls. his attire a fascination. He became Vice-Pres ident, of the United States and within one vote of being President. Men threw awav their fortunes to help him in his political aspirations and to forward him in a con spiracy to j overthrow the Government of the United States, he trying to do in 'America what Napoleon atthat very time was trying to qo in Europe establish a throne for himelf. Eut he was immoral and corrupt. He was the serpent that .wound its way into many a (domestic par adise. He shot to death one of the great est ' of Americans Alexander Hamilton. The world found out long ago before he left it that the offender I sneak of was an embodiment of dissoluteness and base am- take off their hats in reverence. There is no excuse' for boorish- ness in any circle. As complete a gentle man as ever lived Was the roan who was unhorsed on the road to Damascus and be headed on the road to 0?tia Paul, the apostje. I know that he miclit be; fo char acteri7pd by the wav he PDo'ogized to Ana nias, the hich nriest. I k"ow it fron the way he complimented Felix as a .jadjp. and from the way he greets the king, "I thank myself, King Arrrlnm, because I shall answer for rny?'f th'13 day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the. Jews, especially because 1 know thee to be expert in 'all cusfoms and questions which are amonc the Jews." I know that Paul was a gentleman rom-tle way he ojnensd his sermon on Mar3 hi'l, not insuHiug hi? audience, as Kine Tamess transition implies. j but Spavin r. "Ye men of Athens. 1 perreiye that in all thing ye are very de von t." I know ha wa a ger t'eman from the fact that when he with nfbers of a fhinwreck. on the Island of Melita visited the povrno- o" the is'and be was most impressed with he coutey shown tnpm ad reported 1 that visit in these words: "In the fame quarters wen possessions of the rp'Vf raan of the isVnd, whose name was Publiu. who received in and lodged u three daj-s courteousv." And then see those words nf pdvice which he gives: "Bear ye one another's bvrdes;" "In honor referring one another;" "Hon or all men." . What a mighty means of usefulness is courtesy! The lack) of it brings to many a dead failure, while before those who nos- cess it in large quantity all the doors of oppprtunity are open. . You 'can tell that urbanity does not books of etiquette, come irom stuay of although such books have their use, but from a mind full of thoughtfulness for ther3 aud a hfart in sympathy with the conditions of others. If those conditions be prosperous, a g.aaness lor tne success, or u the condi tions be depressing, a favorabte circumstances, needs lighting un! I To those of us who arc prosperous it is no credit that we arc In a state of goo.l cheer, but in the" lives ol nietv-nire out is a pathetic, side, a m . sorrow nr. tae un Ah, this world of a hundred there taking off. a deficit an anxievj- a tronoe, bition. He was the best illustration that I know of the fact that a man may have the; appearance of courtesy, while within he is all wrong. -1 Absalom, a Bible character, was a speci men of ja man of polish outside and of rot tenness! inside. Beautiful, brilliant and rith such wealth of hair that when it --was ut in each December as a matter of pride lie had it weighed, and it weighed 200 ehekels. He captured all who came near him. But, oh, what a heart he had full of treachery and unfilial spirit and base ness! He was as bad as he was alluring nd charming. In the famous Athenian Alcibiades his tory discourses of the same splendor of manner covering utter depravity. Noble pedigree, transcendent abilities, radiant personality, eloquent tongue, triumphant jWarrirr, victor at Olympic games, but a Idebaivhee arid an impersonation of all the .vices;. Alas, that allnp and down history und clear on into our day there are so many of ; what Christ , called "wolves in cheep's clothrig" "whitewashed sepul chers, full of dead men's bone3 and all uu cleanness'.r .
