FROM a helpful sermon on the "Duty of Pleasing," preached by Rev. Walter Barton of Attleboro, at the Dansville Sanatorium last October, we take this extract:— "Lord Peterborough, a noted infidel, once visited the sweet-spirited and saintly Fenelon. But he heard no argument, such as he had expected, on the claims of Christianity. His wise and loving host let logic alone, and just lived as he was ever wont to live when no infidels were around to watch him. And, as the lord left his Christian host, he said: 'If I stay here much longer I shall become a Christian in spite of myself.'" "Christ wants Christians of that sort everywhere: Christians who let their light so shine," "Whose kind designs to serve and please
Through all their actions run." "Let us write the text over the doors and on the walls of home and shop, of school and church, and let us practice the rule until it becomes a living principle, a working instinct in us, and we please men for good, as we are bidden to give alms, without any desire or thought of trumpeting it abroad, and because we cannot help it."
