HOSPITALITY. SERMON By REV. DR. TALMAGI How to Treat the Strangers that Com Within Our Gates. TrXT: " Giren to Hospitality."-Roman Xii., 13. There is danger that the multiplication < large and commodious hotels in our town and cities, and villaires, will utterly exterm nate that grace which Abraham exhibit< when he entertainea the angels, and whic Lot showed when he watched for guests. the gato of the city, and which Clrist reco; nized as a positive requisite for enterin heaven, when he declared: "I was a strang< nd ye took Me in." I propose to speak this morninA!)fthe tria and rewards of Christian hospitality. T1 first trial often comes in the w-hiiand e centricity of the gue-st himself. There a1 a great many excellent peoplewho have pr tuberances of disposition. aiI sharp edges temperament. and unpliability of eharacte which make them a posit ive nuisance in an house where they stay. (n shert acquain ence they will begin to co ini d the hous, hold affairs, order the m:;loves to unu-: service, keep unseasonabitli ou'rs. use narcoti. in places offensive to sensitive n :. p their feet at unusual elevations. dr1 Ih.. ash, of their Havana on costlv tap'trv. me bureaus they ought never to to-l . and. b1 into things tc-y oaght n-r t., s-. aii h come impervions to rousint le:ls. an i ht all the peculiarities of the gormanl '-r or tli dyspeptic, and make excavationa-s fo-ma p dentistry with unusual implemi. a i a thousand ways afijict the hou-eh-l I whic proposes to take care of them. Ad led t a they stay too long. Th -y have no ilca whe their welcome is worn out. and the would be unmoved even by the blessini which my friend Gerrit Smith. the philar thropist, asked one mior ing at his breakfa, table, on the day wh-n he hopAd that ti long protracted guests would de-part, saying "'OI Lord. blessthis provision. and our fi'end who leave us to-day" But. my fien i there are alleviations to be put on their sid of the scale. Perhaps they ha.'e not ha-I th same refining inflinenes a'out th-n inl earl life that you have had. Perhaps th-' hav" inherited eccentricities that they cannmtit leh Perhaps it is your duty, by exanple. to so them a better way. Perhaps ther are s-nt be a trial for the developme'nt o' Von patience. Perhaps they were to be int.:n1' as an illustration of the opposite of wha you are trying to inculcate in the indsl l your children. Perhaps it is to make you rome the brighter when they are gon When our guests are cheeryand fascinating and elegant, it is very eaoy tiont.-rtai them; but when we find in our .:n i i bi which is antagonistic to oar t ist.- ia I s -.i ment, it is a positive trium-h wn' we am obey the words of may text and be 'i hosptality" ther trial in the using of this grae in the toil and expense of ex-reising it. I the well regulated household things g smoothly, but now you have introduced foreign element into the machinerv. ant though you may stoutly declare that th must take things as they find them, thl Martha will break in. The ungovernab! stove, the ruined dessert, the joint tha proves to be unnasticable, the delayed m:u eting, the perplexities of a caterer, the dii 'culty of doing proper work, and yet alway being presentable. Though you may sal there shall be no care or anxiety, there wil be care and there will be anxiety. In 1'-. the Captain-General provided a very grant entertainment, and among other things hi bad a fountain in his garden-a fountain o strong drink. In it were four hogsheads o brandy. eight hogsheads of water. twenty five thousand lemons, thirteen hunrelweighi of Lisbon sugar, five pounds of gratel nut meg, three hundred toasted ;i;suits, and boat built on purpose was placel in tie foan tain, and a boy rowed around it and tile< the cups of the people who came there to b supplied. Well, you say that was a lux unous entertainment, and of course th< man had no anxiety: but I have to tell you that though you had, or propose. an ent'r. tainment like that, yon have anxiety. Ii that very thing comes the Divine reward We were born to serve: and when we serv< others we serve God. The flush on thal woman's cheek, as she bends over the hol stove, is as sacred in God's sight as the ilusi on the cheek of one who, on a hot day preaches the GospeL. We may s-irve Goc with plate. and cutlery, aund broom, as e-r tainiv as we can serve ii withi psalm-booW and "liturgry. Margaret, Quaen ofi Norway and Sweden, and Dlenmark, hail a royal enl of ten lips, on which was r'ecordled the names of the guests who had drunk from this cup And every Christian wioman has a royal em. on whichare written all t he namies of thos who have ever been enteriainy'd bcy her ir Christian style-names not cut by humar ingenuity, but written by the hand of: Divine Jesus. But, my friends, you are nc to toil unnecessarily. Though thle fare ib plain, cheerful presidency of the tab le. an< cleanliness of appointments wvill be gooc enough for anybody that ever com.'s t< your house. John Howard was incvitc'd t< the house of a nobleman, He sal I: "I wil come on one condition, and that is, tha you have nothing but potatoes on the table. T he requisition was complied withb. ('rus King of Persia. under thesamie c'irc'umstin'ee preseribed that on the table there miust lc nothing but bread. Of course th-se wier< extremes, but they are illus.trationis of th< fact that more depends upon the lan-uet -r: than upon the banauet. I want to ift ti: idea of Christian etntertainmient ou: of a ps tive bondage into a glorious indulaeen-t Every effort you put forth. and every do:!ai y'on give to the entertainment of frend o; foe, vou give directly to Chriat. 8 :ppo-i were announced that the Lord Jesus Chr'i would come to this place this we'ek. wha woman in this house would not be-gcladt wash for Him, or spread for Him a bed, bake bread for Him There wa- on' .> who washed for Him, drawing t- -t from the well of hei' own tears. He is on ing, He will be here to-morrow, "'Inasmsue as ye have done it to c-ne of th~e least of the'. my brethren, ye have done it to .\e -Ini ic ure galleries we have often se--i reprne-ent: tions of Walter Scott an I his fr iends, - Washington Irving with his ass-i'ate: bu all thosa engravings will fadle out, wh: through everlasting ages, hangin.; luIina and conspicuous, will be the pieture ot yco and your Christian guests.

MY DEAR NFPHEW: It has not >leased me to bear that you contem p 1a t e entering W upon the study of the law, and giving up the grocery business to become a dis - iple of Black stone. I was not aware, my dear nephew,thatyou had any reasons for being dissat isfied with your >resent business, and if you have, I ail to understand the hitherto hidden ein of cussedness in your make-up which has prompted you to risk your ood name and character by enter:ng he legal profession. You say of all the professions that o the law is the quickest and surest to wealth and distinction. And I notice, oo, the emphasis you l)a:-e upon the Last word. 1 know you have been fairly educated, that you are bright nd smart, and that you are counted among the honest and upright young men in your community-a po ition von have won by your conduct and your business dealings with your ellow-men. Yet all these you are ready and anxions to ca-t aside to try your hand at the wealth and distinction business as an attorney at law. I can only account for this s-dden departure from your usually sen-ible course, on the grounds that some sleek tongucd and desiging villai . per haps your unscrupulous competitor in business, has been trying to induce you to run for the I egislature; and you, knowing that a sensible business man was never elected to that body, have felt it necessary.to take a pr. paratory course in the law .n the mtnv talks I have given you, and in the letters of counsel and advice I have written von, I have warne.1 y.ou against lightning-rod men, insurance agents, fruit-tree peddlers, pick-pock 'ts, fo-tpads, monte sharps, ete , bat it appears that in my inexcusable care [essness I have never warned you against the seductive but none the less -orrupting intluence of the ward poli ician My boy, Iregret this; in fact, I am my 5wn accuser for having so long neglect d so important a duty; especiall. does it make me feel that I must be enter ing upon my dotage to think I should have so long overlooked a matter which [ m ght have known was so likely to prove your ruin, as it has that of many good men before you.

It was played in c ~royal ourts be f o r e ltichard with three eyes , turned atlars - and a relati ei topsy-tur vy. But it has come to Amer ca to stay; superseded croquet, overshadows arch ery, and will be as permanent as base ball. Like base ball,it embodies the American idea of skill united with ac tivity. Like ro anet. it is a game at which ladies may e oel; indeed, ladies are among its most skill ful players. While engaged at it, they may not indulge in such high pingoes as the gentleman weg'.. il:ustrate, but the exercise requires a s special costume~and they make it as pret ty as it is comfortable, and find tennie a game at which to have fun. Flirtation comes as naturally with the bat as dandelions and tender gree-ns with spring. A girl can look as kill ingly at you from under a jaunty tam o-shanter as under a lace parasol; she can be as demure in a low-heeled can vas shoe within the pretty courts as when dlawdling in French boots - on a bank where -\ t h e wild thyme * ~ grows and mos q.cuitoes are sing - ~. -~ mg. $a ja j Th ere was a enlU time when w e cared little for outdoor games. but all is changed, and, we think, for the bet ter. .Now all, old and young, stout and lean, handle the bat, and there is nothing like it to pr-omote health and to keep the spirits in good working order. A down-trodden man, or a woman cross at her neighbor, cannot play tennis; the exercise is too exhilarating, and its methods too peaceful. Conse quenty when you tind a community devoted to tennis you may set it down in red ink-it is a happy sign of its. peace and prosperity. R'de Isinm's Pe-unl iarics.

My family physician gave me up as incurable, and said I must die. My case was such a bad one, that every day, towards sun set, my voice would become so hoarse I could barely speak above a whisper. In the moring my coughing and clearing of my throatwould almost strangle me. By the use of Dr. Sage's Catrrh Remedy, in three months, I was a well man, and the cure has been permanent." "Constantly Hawking and Spitting" TnOMAS J. RrsnrIG, Esq., !902 Pine Street, St. Louis, Mo., writes: "I was a great sufferer from catarrh for three years. At times I could hardly breathe, and was constantly hawking and spitting, and for the last eight months could not breathe through the nostrils. I thought nothing could be done for me. Luck ily, I was advised to try Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and I am now a well man. I believe it to be the only sure remedy for catarrh now manufactured, and one has only to give it a fair trial to experience astounding results and a permanent cure." Three Bottles Cure Catarrh.
