Excerpt from Good Form and Christian Etiquette For the same purpose men learn grace of carriage, -how to enter and leave a room, how to moderate every tone; and practise laboriously in private, to fix as habit any thing which they believe to be desirable, and eradicate anything that would be a hindrance, so that they may never be taken off guard by any rush Of feeling, and so jeopardize the selfish interests which are at stake. For the same end little children are put into training of the most exacting sort, and grow up almost perfect Copies of some great master in certain forms which, while in them selves empty, yet are like buckets, capable of holding anything. And until Christians are willing to labor as faithfully to become win some themselves, and train their children to do the best of all work in the best of all forms, they have not yet come to love the truth as the world loves self.

Do unto others as you would others should do to you. You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be im polite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us ;a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; the.re can be no true, politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility. Many believe that politeness is but a mask worn in the world to conceal bad passions and impulses, and to make a show of possessing virtues not really existing in the heart; thus, that politeness is merely hypocrisy and dissimulation. Do not believe this; be certain that those who profess such a doctrine are practising themselves the deceit they condemn so much.
Excerpt from Bible Manners and Customs In modern Palestine and Syria there are a great many things in the climate and landscape, in plant and animal life, in the habits and occupations of the people, in their modes of dress and forms of Speech, that are exactly the same as those alluded to in the Bible. This wonderful continuance of unchanged custom, during so long a period, is chiefly due to the following causes (l) the Oriental kinship of the present inhabitants with the ancient Israelites; (2) the close resemblance between the Hebrew language and the Arabic which is now spoken; (3) the suitableness of the customs to the climate and industries of the land; (4) the reluctance to admit changes under what is called the patriarchal form of government, where the sheikhs or heads of chief families, from father to son, rule over their several districts. So great is this resemblance with regard to natural surroundings, dress, and occupations, with reference also to common opinion and sentiment about life, work, home, and religion, that if the same events were to happen again in Palestine, and the truths of Scripture were now to be told for the first time, the description and statement of them would inevitably take the mould and form with which we are already familiar in the Bible.
