The Apostle Paul Experience KindneM One of the Best of Traits It Influence For Good The Saviour's Wondrous Goodneu. Tn a late sermon at Brooklvn on ldness" Rev. T. De"VYitt Talroage Wok his text from Acts xxviii. 2: "The Lxbarous people showed us no little ldness.' He said: Here we are on the Island of Malta, another name for Mclita. This island, which has always leen an important commercial center, belonging at differ ent times to Phoenicia, to Greece, to Rome, to Arabia, to Spain, to France. " now belongs to England. The area of this island is about one hundred square miles. It is in the Mediterranean sea, and of such clarity of atmosphere that Mount .Tana, 130 miles away, can be distinctly seen. The island is glorious ly memorably because the Knights of Malta for a long while ruled there, but most famous because of the apostolic shipwreck. The liestormcd vessel on which Paul sailed had "laid to" on the starboard tack and the wind was blowing east northeast and tho vessel drifting prob ably a mile and a-half an hour, struck at what is now called St- Paul's bay. Practical sailors have taken up the U:ble account and decided 1-eyond con troversy the place of the shipwreck. Uu the island which has so rough a toast is for the most part a garden. Ki host fruits and a profusion of honey "haracterized it in Paul's time as well as noxv. The Quest oranges, figs and olives grow there. When Paul and his comrades crawled up on the beach, saturated with the salt water and hun gry from long abstinence from food, and chilled to the b-me, the islanders. though called barbarians because they could not speak Greek, opened their doors to the shipwrecked unfortunates, kiery thing had gone to the lottom of the deep, and the barefooted, barc l.taded apostle and ship's crew were in it e ndition to appreciate hospitality. My text finds the ship's crew ashore on Ma'tn and around a hot fire drying themselves, and with the best provis l' lis the inlander can offer them. And t ey go into government quarters for t -ree day to recuperate. Publius, the r I'er, imiting them, although he had set ere sickness in the house at that it, hi father down with dysentery i 1 Uphold feer. Yes, for three ninths they staved ou the island watching for a ship, and putting the 1. sj.italities of the islanders to a severe tst Hut it endured the test satis factorily, and It is recorded for all the . -es of time and eternity to read and I.i ar hi regard to the inhabitants of M i'ta: "The barbarous people showed i-.ii little kindness." 1 .mhiess! What a great word that is. It would take a reed as long as that whi-h the apocalyptic augel used to ine.i-.iire Ib'aven to tell the length, the breadth, the height of that mng n.fieeiit word. It is a favorite l.ible ' nl. and it is earlv launched in the 'oli of Genesis, caught up in the book f Joshua, embraced in the book of I.'ith. sworn by in the book of Samuel, minded in the bonk of Psalms, and en tl roned in many places in the new Testament. Kindness! A wonl no more gentle than mighty It is strong etjough to throw an archangel. Hut it will be well for us to stand around it, :.nl warm ourselves by its glow as Paul : nd his fellow voyagers stood around he lire on the Island of Malta, where Maltese made themselves immortal mv text lV me w.iv nicy irraivu these victims of the sea. "The barbar ous people showed us no little kind ness." Kindness! All definitions of that mtiltipotent word breakdown half way. iou say it is clemency, l-eniguitv, gen t r s;ty: it is made up of good wishes, it is an expression of beneficence, it is a contribution to the happiness of others. Some one else says: "Why, I can give von a definition of kindness- it is sun shine of the soul. It is affection peren nial, it is a climacteric grace, it is the combination of all graces. It is com passion. It is the perfection of gentle manliness and womanliness." It can not K defined. Hut we all kuow what :t is. for we have felt its iower. Some of m may have felt it as Paul felt it, on s Miie coast of rock as tho ship went to nieces, but more of us have again and awful stress of life had either frem earth or Heaven hands tn'tched out. which ".showed us no "sttle kindness " There is a kindness of disposition, kindness of wonl, kindness of act, and there is Jesus Christ, the imieronatioii of all of them. Kindness! You cannot afford it, you cannot play it a a part; von cannot dramatize it. Hy the grace of t.od yon must have it inside you, an evcrla-sting summer, or rather a com 1 .nation of June and October, the geni nlttv of one and the tonic of the other. It cannot dwell with arrogance or rt enge, or malevolence. At its first ap pearance in the soul all these Amelek ites and Gergishitos, and Hittitc and Jcbusites must quit, and quit forever. Kindness wishes every body well, every man well, every woman well, every child well, every bird well, every horse well, every dog well, every cat well Give the spirit full swing and y-m would have no more need of societies for prevention oj cruelty to animals, no more need of protective sewing women's association, and it would dull every sword until it would not cut skin deep, and unwheel every battery till it could not roll, and make gunpowder of no more use in the world except for rock blating or pyrotechnic celebration. Kindness is a spirit divinely im p, anted, aud iu answer to prayer, and then to be sedulously cultivated until it fills all the nature w ith a perfume richer and more pungent than mignon itte, and. as if you put a tuft of that iromattc beauty behind the clock on the mantle, or in some corner where nobody can see it, you find people walk ing about your room looking this way and that, and you ask them. "What are vou looking for?" and the, answer, : W here is that flower?" o if one has in his soul this infinite sweetness of disposition, its perfume will overwhelm . very thing. Hut are you waiting and hoping for tome one to be bankrupted or exposed, or discomfitei. or iu some way over ttirown, then kindness has not taken possession of your nature. You are wrecked on a Malta where there are no oranges. Yon ar entertaining a guest so unlike kindness that kindness will not come and dwell under the same TgProof. The most exhausting and un h healthy and ruiuous feeling on earth is a revengeful spirit or retaliating spirit, as I know by experience, for I have tried it for live or ten minutes at a time. When some mean thing has been done me or said about me, I have felt: "I will pay him in his own coin. I will show him up The ingratel The traitor! The liar! The vi.lain!" But five or ten minutes of the feeling has - been Sv? unnerving and exhausting I have abandoned it, and I cannot under stand how people can go about tortur ing themselves five or ten or twenty vears, trying to get even with some body. The only way you will ever tri umph over your enemies is by foryiv- ing them and wishing them all good and no eviL In most of such cases I hare already succeeded, but there are a few malig nant whom I am yet pursuing, and I shall not be content until I have in some wise helped them or benefitted them or blessed them. Let us ail pray for this spirit of kindness. It will set tle a thousand questions. It will change the phase of everything. It will mel low through and through our entire nature. It will transform a lifetime It is not a feeling gotten up for occa sions, but perennial. That is the reason I like petunias better than morning glories. They look very much alike, and if I should nut in vour hand a petunia and a morning glory you could hardly tell which is the petunia and which the morning glory; but the morn ing glory blossoms only a few hours and then shuts up for the day, while the petunia is in as wide-spread a glow at twelve o'clock at noon and six o'clock in the evening as at sunrise. And this grace of kindness is not spasmodic, is not intermittent. Ls not for a little while, but it irradiates the whole na ture, all through and clear on till the sunset of our earthly existence. Kind ness! I am resolved to get it. Are you resolved to get it? It docs not come by haphazard, but through culture under the divine help. The kiug of Prussia had presented to him by tho empress of Ilussia the root of a rare flower, aud it was put in the royal gardens on an island and the head gardener, Herr Fintclmann, was told to watch it. And one day it put forth its glory. Three days of every week the people were admitted to these gardens, and a young man, probably not realizing what a wrong thing he was doing, plucked this flower and put it in his button-hole, and the gardener arrested him as he was crossing at the ferry, and asked the king to throw open no more his gardens to the public. The king replied: "Shall I deny to the thousands of good iconic of my country the privilege of seeing this garden because one visitor has done wrong? o, let them come and see the beautiful grounds." And when the gardener wished to give the king the name of the offender who had taken the royal flower, he said. "No, my memory is very tenacious, and I do not want to have in my mind the name of the offender, lest it should hinder me granting him a favor some other time." Now, I want you to know that kind ness is a royal flower, and blessed be God, the King of mercy and grace, that by a divine gift and, not by purloining, we may pluck this royal flower and not wear it on the outside of our nature, but wear it in our soul and wear it forever, its radiance and aroma not more wonderful for time than wonderful for eternity. Still further, I must speak of kind ness of word. When you meet any one do you saj a pleasant thing or an un pleasant? Do you te'l him of agreeable things you have heard about him, or the disagreeble? hen he leaves you, does he feel better or does he feel worse? (. the jtower of the tongue for the production of happiness or misery! One would think from the way the tongue is caged in we might take the hint that it has a dangerous power. There are those if they know a good thing about you and a bad thing will mention the bad thing and act as though they had never heard the good thing. Now there are two sides to almost every one's character, and we have the choice of overhauling the virtue or the vice. We can greet Paul and the ship's crew as they come up the beach of Malta with the words "What a sorry looking set you are! How little of navigation you must know to run on these rocks! Didn't you know Wtter than to put out on the Mediterranean this wintry month? It was not much of a ship anyhow, or it would not have gone to pieces so soon as that. Well, what do you want? We have hard enough work to make a liv ing for ourselves w ithout having thrust on us iITt ragamuflians." Not so said the Maltese. I think they said: "Come in! Sit down by the fire and warm your selves! Glad that you all got off with your lives. Make yourselves at home. You are w clcoine to all that we have until some ship comes in sight and yon resume your voyage Here, let me put a bandage on your forehead, for that is an ugly gash you got from the floating timliers, and here is a man w ith a broken arm. i e will have a doctor come to attend to this fracture." Aud, though for three months the kindness went on, we have but little more than this brief record: "The barbarous people showed us no little kindness." Oh. sav the cordial thing! Say the useful thing! Say the hospitable thing! Say the helpful thing' Say the Christ like thing! Say the kind thing! I ad mit that this is easier for some temper aments than for others. Some are lorn pessimists, and some are lorn optimists and that demonstrates itself all through everything. It is a cloudy morning. You meet a pessimist and you say: "What weather to-day?" He answers "It's going to storm." and umbrella under arm and a waterproof overcoat show that he is honest in that utter ance On the same block, a minute after, you meet an optimist and you say: "What weather to-day?" "Good weath er; this is only a fog and will soon scat ter." The absence of umbrella and ab sence of waterproof overcoat show it is an honest utterance On your way at noon to luncheon you meet an optimist merchant and you say: "What do you think of the commercial prospects?" and he says "glorious. Great crops must bring great business. We are going to have such an autumn and winter of prosperity -as we have never seen." On your way back to your store youmeet a pessimistic mer chant. "What do you think of the com mercial prospects?" you ask. And he answers: "Well, I don't know. So much grain will surfeit the country Farmers have more bushels but less prices and the grain gamblers will get their fist in. There is the McKinley bill: and the hay crop is short in some places and in the southern part of Wis consin they had a hailstorm and our business is as dull as it ever was." You will find the same difference in judg ment of character A man of good reputation is assailed and charged with some evil deed. At the first story the pessimist will believe in guilt. "The papers said so, and that's enough. Down with him!" The optimist will say: "I don't believe a word of it. I don't think that a man that has been as useful and as seemingly honest for twenty years could have got off the track like that. There are two sides to this story and I will wait to hear the other side before I condemn him." My hearer, if you are by nature a pessimist, make a special effort by the grace of God to extirpate the dolorous and the hypercritical from your dispo sition, lielieve nothing against any body until the wrong is established by at least two witnesses of integrity. And if guilt be proven, find out the ex tenuating circumstances, if there are any. And then commit to memory so that you can quote for yourself and quote for others that exquisite thir teenth chaDter of First Corinthians about charity that suffers long and is kind, and hopeth all things, and en dureth all things. By ren, by voice, in public and in prirate. say all the good about people you can think of, and if there be nothing gooa, men agnien the chain of muscle on the back end of your tongue and keep the ivory bars of teeth on the lower jaw and the ivory bars of teeth on the upper jaw locked, and the gate of your lips tightly closed, and your tongue shut up. When you can speak a good a good word for some one, speak it. If you can conscientiously give a letter of recommendation, give it. Watch for opportunities for doing good fifty yeart after you are dead. All my life has been affected by the letter of introduc tion that Rev. Dr. Van Vranken, ol New Brunswick theological seminary, wrote for me, a boy under him, when I was seeking a settlement in which to preach the gospel. That letter gave me my first pulnit Dr. Van Vranken has been dead more than thirty years, yet I feel the touch of that magnificent old professor. Strange sensation was it when I re ceived a kind message from Rev. Thomas Guard, of Baltimore, the great Methodist orator, six weeks after bis death. By way of the eternal world? O, no, by way of this world. I did not meet the friend to whom he gave the message until nearly two months after Thomas Guard had ascended. So you can start a word about some one that will be on its travels and vigorous long after the funeral psalm has been sung at your obsequies. Kindness! Why if fifty men all aglow with it should wnlk through the lost world, methinks they would almost abolish perdition. Furthermore, there is kindness of action. That is what Joseph showed to his outrageous brothers. That is what David showed to Mcphilosheth for his father Jonathan's sake. That is what Onesiphorus showed to Paul in the Roman penitentiary. That is w hat William Cowjer recognized when he said he would not trust a man who would with his foot needlessly crush a worm. That is what our assassinated President Lincoln demonstrated when his private secretary found him in the capitol grounds trying to get a bird back to the nest from which it had fallen, and which quality the illustrious man exhibited years before when having with some lawyers in the carriage on the way to court passed on the road a swine fast in the mire, after awhile cried to his horses "Ho!" and said to the gentlemen: "I must go back and help that hog out of the mire." And he did go back and put on solid ground that most uninter esting quadruped. That was the spirit that was manifested by my departed friend. Hon. Alexander II Stephen, of Georgia, (and lovelier man never ex changed earth for Heaven), when at Washington. A senator's wife who told my wife of the circumstances said to him: "Mr. Stephens come and see my dead cauarv bird. And lie an- swered: "No. I could not look at tho poor thing without crying " That is the spirit that Grant showed when at the surrender at Appomatox he said to Gen. Lee: "As many of your soldiers are farmers and will need the horses and mules to raise the crops to keep their families from suffering next win ter, let each confederate who can claim a horse or a mule take it along with i uu. That is the spirit which last night ten thousand mothers showed to their sick children, coming to give the drink at the twentieth call as cheerfully and as tenderly a at the first call. Suppose all this assemblage, and all to whom these words shall come by printer's type, should resolve to make kinduess an overarching, undergirding aud all pervading principle of their life, and then carry out the resolution, why, in six months the whole earth would feel it. People would say: "What is the matter? It seems to me that the world is getting to be a better place to live in. Why, life after all is worth living. Why. there is Shy lock, my neighbor, has withdrawn his lawsuit of fore closure against that man. and because he has had so much sickuess in his family he is going to have the house for one year rent free There is an old lawyer in that young lawyer's office, and do you know what he has gone in there for? Why. he is helping fix up a case which is too big for the young man to handle, and the white haired attorney is hunting up pre vious decisions and making out a brief for the loy.

The rflt-ml Court Wecldca Acalnat th Cherokee Claim to th Outlet-Only t Kla;ht or r.xiu Guthrie, Ok., Sept- 17 -United States District Judge Green rendered his decision yesterday in the famous Cherokee strip stone quarry cave, deny ing the application of the Cherokecs for an injunction and giving the title of the strip to the government. This is the worst knockout the Cherokee have ever received and is believed to insure the early sale of their equity in the strip and its opening to .settlement. Judge Green, in commenting upon the case, refers to the treaty of May 6. 152S, one section of which states: "It being the anxious desire of the govern ment to secure for the Cherokee In dians to remain theirs forever, not to be encroached upon and not to be in- eluded within the lines of any ttatc or ' territory, resting upon tne pictjjje riku i ie,en,, which rr these Indians liv the nresident and the i ihe lanrni e council secretary of war in March.
