impressed' upon the congregation the
Importance: of! sexertlng influence for

ing by petting good examples by our
conduct as members of the church and
followers of. Christ. At. night he preach

Impressing upon them the Importance

There. was.;a large congregation Sun
day might at Brooklyn. Baptist church
to hear .the sermon of the Rev. J. W:
Kramer on the?singular. subject which
he announced i would be" the basis fpr
hi sermonV'ilake Your' Heels Shine."
i 'M r. Kramer took as , hid text Acts
vt:10."Hav; your feet shod with, the
IireparafJon xt I the Gospel." He - ex
plained i that he ; adopted Uist: peculiar
subject from the circumstance that la
few days; ago' he sinned his-.shoes and
afterwards discovered ' that i he had
shined the. vamp of hU shoes and neg
lected the; heels;. Theie-ffect was such
that the contrast Embarrassed him and
impressed him ithat liehad made .a
poorjobiof it. i-'He thought it yould
be! a good subject ty, which. -to teaoh
a Jesaonj hence .his sermon on tihe-sub-ject
he chose. He preached a most ex.
qellept Btrraon and its general Idea was
to impress the importance of thorough
work-r-that whatever was worth doing
should- be .well done, and that nothing
should- be done in; the lip-shod man
ner -in Which he had shined hist shoes.
He also pointed, out-that.ye should not
cultivate one virtue or one: quality, to
the neglect of others, but pay attention
to all i essentials, and he iwell; rounded
in all things. '
i Hereafter Mr.; Kramer is going to he
a better bootblack,, and if those who
heard him 'don't. be benefitted in all
that- they do they won't have his serT
raon toTblame. " ( 1

This caused more iir among t ve dele

have been elected senator in place of
