Talmage's Analysis cf the Chirac*
ter of the Saviour.
CHRISTIANS URGED TO
Emulate the Qualities Which Wei e
Conspicuous In the Earthly
L fa and Ministrations
cf Jetus.
In 11>in sermon, whioh Dr. Taltnsgo
nonda from 1 *w r i s?, ho analjxos tho
(hsraotor of tho Saviour and urgos all
(Ji.riBiians to exercise tho qualities
which wcro conspioious in Christ's
earthly l fe. 'J'ho tixt is Kouians viii,
it, "Now, if any mail hsvo not tho
spirit of Christ, lie is nouo of his."
Thcro is nothing uioro dcsirablo than
r pleasant disposition. Without it wo
cannot bo happy ourselves or mako
others happy. When wo havo lost our
temper or bcoomo impatient under some
light oroBS, wo suddenly awaken to now
appreciation of proper cquipoiao of na
turo. We wish wo had bion born with
self balance. We envy those pcoplo
who bear themselves through life without
any porturpaiion, and wc (Utter
ourselves that however little self eon
trol we may now have, tho time will
oouio, under tho process of years, when
wo will bo mellowed and sotioucd and
the* wrong tilings which are in us now
will then he all right, forgetful of tho
faot that an evil habit in our naturo
wili grow into larger proportions and
that an iniquity not ooircctod will become
tho grandfather of a whole generation
of iniquities. 80 that people
without the grace of Cod in the struggle
and amid the annoyanoos and exasperations
of life uro apt to become
worso instead of better.
Now, the trouble is that wc havo a
theory abroad in the world that a man's
disposition cannot be changed. A man
fiavs. "1 am irasoiblo in temper, and I
cau't help it." Auother uiau baya, "I
am revengeful naturally, aud 1 can t
help it." A uiau says, '*1 am impulsive,
and I can't help it." And ho tolls
the truth. No man ean oorrcot his disposition.
1 never know a man by furoo
of resolution to change his tcuipormont,
but by hia grace God oan ta*o away
that which in wrong and put in that
which ia right, and L know and you
know people who ainoo their conversion
aro just the opposite of what they used
to he. In other words, wo may by tho
apirt of God have tho disposition of
tJeaua Christ implanted in our diapoaition,
aud wo must have it dono or wo
will never aeo heaven. "If any man
has not tho disposition of Jobus Christ,
ho is none of his."
In tho first place the spirit of Christ
was a spirit ol geutlcuess. Sometimos
h ; tnaUe wrathful uttoranooa against
P-iarisecs and hy poomos, but tho moat
of his words wcro kind aud gcutlo and
loving and iui If jnaive and attiao ivc.
When we oousiuer tiie iaot that ho was
oiuuipoteut and> could havo torn to
pieoes his assailants, tho wondir is
greater. Wo often bear tho persecution
and abuso of tho world boouu->o wo can
hi i In 1 n it I.hriHL nduri d ii u In n lit;
oould iave helped it. Lutlo children
who always shy otl at a rough uian
rushed into Inn pr<seiioo and olainbored
on him until tho people bogged the
mutlnr to lake them away, Invalids
bo bote with wounus that they could not
bear to havo any one come near I hem
bogged Christ just to put his hand upon
the wound una soothe it. The mother
with the bickcbt child waswilling to put
tho little one in Christ h arms. Self
righteous people rushed into his pros01
oo with a woman of dobabed character
and said, "Now, anuihilato hor, blast
her, kill her." Jesus looked at her and
?aw sho was sorry and repentant, and
no looked ui them, and ho saw they
were proud and arrogant and maligant,
and ho said, "Lot hi in that is without
fiiu oast the first stone at tho her." A
blind man sat by the wayside making a
great ado about his laok of vision.
They told him to hu&h ap and not
bother tho Master. Christ stooped to
him and baid, "What wilt thou that I
do unto thoe? ' Gentleness of voioo,

Wo do not know how to ooniforl tho

or to take caro of tho poor. Kvon our
voice of sympathy lb on the wrong

My Bister had her arm put out of
joint, and wo wcro in the country and
tho neighbors eamo in, and thoy woro
all sympathetic, and thoy laid hold ot
tho arm and pulled mightily until the
anguish was intolerable; but tho arm
did not go to its plaoe. Then tho old
oountry doctor watt Bent for, aud he
came in and with ono touch it was all
right, lie know just where to put hia'
finger and just how to touoh tho bone.
Wo go out to our Christian work with

The dew of ono summer night will accomplish
more good than 50 Caribbean
whirlwinds. How important it is that
in going forth to serve Christ we havo
HOQiO thing of his gentleness! iiHhat
the way wo bear ourselvoB when wo are
assaulted? The rulo is an eye for an
eye, a tooth for a tooth, retort for retort,
sarcasm for sarcasm. Give him
as much as ho sonde! After awhilo
you look up into tho faoo of Christ,
and you see his gentleness, and you
ay, "Well, now, 1 must do differently."
Then your proud heart Bays:
4'Now you have your onemy in aoornor.
You will never get him in a oorner
again. Gha.^se him and thon let him
go." So ^ r'Vitpor. he gentleness of
uoy diffi
oulty to be honied by acerbity or hyperi
oritlflu? About 4!S yearn ago tho I'rce
bytrriaa ohureh w#i split into tho new
school and the old school. The chasm
got wider and wider. The \nost outragoous
pcrnonalitieH were indulged in
Good men on one bide anathematized
good men on the other aide. Widor
and wider the chasm got, until after
awhile aouio good people tried another
tack, and they began to explain away
the difficulties, and Hoon all tho d>H r
encea were healed, and at Pittsburg
they shook hands and are ouo now to be
one forever.
You say ton man with whom you had
a falling out, "1 despiso you " He
rays, "1 ean't hear tho sight of you.'
You say to him, "1 Dover want you to
ootuo to my liouso again." No says,
"11 you onmc to my liouso again, I II
kick you out." You say, "1 11 put you
down." "Oh, no," ho says; "I II put
you down!" . Hut sorno day tho spirit
(M.riut fnmm into Villi and \ Oil ifit
over and (-ay; "My brother, give me
your hand. Tiuio i ? sh< rt, and eternity
is near, and wo can't t IT ird to quarrel.
Now, let bygones l?o bygoneB, and lot
us act liko Christians." It is all set
tied. How? Uy the gca|joaoBs of
Christ.
Did you over know a druvknrd roolaimcd
by mimicry of hiH staggering
ste|?H, his thick tongue or his hiooouoh?
No. You only madden bis brain Hut
you go to him and let him know you
npprooiato what an awful struggle ho
has with the evil habit, at.d you let
him know that you have been ao
quainti d with pcoplo who were down i >
the Fame depths who by tic grtujo ol
God have been rescued. Ho hears your
voioo, ho responds to that sympathy,
and ho is saved. You oanuot soold the
world into anything better. You may
attract it into something hotter. I lie
stormiest wind ooincs out fro n its hiding
rlaoe and Fays, ' I will arouso this
sea-" And it blows upon tho sea,
Half of tho sea is arou-cd or a fourth
of the sea is arousi d. yet not the entire
Atlantic. Hut after awhile the moon
comes out, calm and placid. It shines
upon the pea. and the ocean begins to
lift. It embraces all thn highlands, tho
hcaeh is all oovercd. Tho luart throb
of ono world boating avainst tho heart
throb of another worbi. Tho storm
could not rouse the wholo Atlantic;tho
inonn lifted it "And 1." said Christ.
4 if I bo lifted up will draw all men unto
mo."
Christ's disposition was also ono of
self sacrifice. No young man ever
started out with ho bright u prospect as
Christ Htartcd out with if ho had been
willing to follow a worldly ambition.
In the tiino that he gavo to the hick ho
might havo gathered tho vastest fortune
of his timo. With his powor to popularize
himself and magncti/.o tho
pooplo ho oould havo gainod official
position. No orator ever won
such plaudits as ho might havo
won from sanhedrin and synagogue and
vast audicnccH by tho seaside. No
physioian over got suoh a reputation
tor healing power as ho might have obtained
if ho had performed his wonderful
curob before tho llomau aristocracy.
1 say these things to lot you know what
Paul meant when he said, k-lle pleased
not himself," and to show something of
the wonders of his self sacrifice. All
human power togothcr oould not have
thrown Christ into the manger if ho
hud not chosen to go thoro. All Satanic
strength oould not have lifted
Christ upon tho cross if he had not
elected himself to the torture. To save
our raoo lroin hiu ana ucarn aim noil nc
faced all tho sorrows of this woild and
thosomws of eternity. Ilo.y much of
that solf saorifioo havo we?
What is solf sacrifice?** ii is my
walking a long journey to safe > on from
fatiguo. It is my lifting a great num
her of pounds to have you from tho aw
ful strain. It is a f-ubtroetion from
my comfort and prosperity so that
thcr? may bo an addition to your comfort
and prosperity. How much of
that havo we? Might not I rather say,
"How littlo havo wo." Two ohihlren
?brother and sister?wire passing
down the road. They were both very
destituto Tho lad had hardly any
garments at all. His sister had a coat
that sho had outgrown. It was a very
oold day. Sho said, ".Johnny, como
under this ooat " ' Oh no," he said;
"tho coat isn't largo enough!" "Oh,"
she said, "it will stretch!" Ho comes
under tho ooat, but the ooat would not
strotoh. So she took oft tho ooat and
put it on him. Solf saorifico pure and
simple. (Jurist taking oft his roho to
clotho our nakoducfcs. Self saeiilioc.
I linun nnf anu nf i I nnr havrt Vnu Aiivvi.
pared with that The sacrifice of the
Son of God.
Christ walked to E nruaus, Christ
walked froiu Capernaum to Bethany,
Christ walked from Jerusalem to Golgotha.
How far have you and 1 walked
for Christ? His head aohed, his heart
ached, his back aohed. How much
have wc aohed for Christ?
The disposition of Jesus was also a
disposition of humility. Tne Lord of
earth and lioavcn in tho garb ot a rustio.
Ho who jouredalltho waters of
tho earth out of his right hand?tho
Amazon and the Euphrates and ttie
Oregon and tho Ohio and tho iMississippi?bending
over a well to ask a
Samaritan woman for a drink. Ho who
spread tho canopy of tho heavens and
set tho earth for a footstool, admitting
that ho had not whero to lay his head.
Ho whoso ohariots tho clouds aro, walking
with soro feot. Hushing tho tempest
on Gonnesarot and wiping tho spray
of the storm from his beard, thon sitting
down in tho cabin besido his disciples,
as though he had dono no ruoio
than wipo tho swoat from his brow in
Joseph's oarponter shop. Taking tho
foot of death off tho heart of Lszarus
onr] Krnalrina ( tin nlntin Af tli*> oruun
against the marblo of tho tomb and
then walking out with Mary and Martha
without any moro pretension than
a plain oitizon going out io tho Buburbnn
village to spend the evening Jostlod
as though ho were a nobody. Nicknamed.
Seated with publioanB and
with sinners. King of heaven and earth
trailing his robes in the dust.
How much of that humility have wo?
If we get a few moro dollars than other
people or gain a littlo higher position,
oh, how wo strut! Wo go around wanting
everybody to know their plaoo and
say, ' Is not this great Babylon that I
havo built for the honor of my kingdom
and by tho might of my strength?"
Who has anything of tho humility of
Christ?
The disposition of Christ was also
the spirit of prayer. Prayor on tho
mountains, player on tbe sea, prayor
among the sick, prayer everywhere.
Grayer for little children: "Father, I
thank thee that thou hast hidden those
things from tho wiec and prudent and
revealed th?>tu uuto babes " I'rayer
for his friends. "Father, I will that they
he with me where I am." l>raycr for
his <>iicuiic<>, "Father, forgivo thorn;
they know not what thov do." I'rayer
for all nations, "Thy kingdom oome."
ilow little of that spirit y< u and I have.
How soon our kneos get tired. Whero
i?< the vial full of odors which arc tho
prayers of all the taints? Which of us
can keep our mind ten minute" on a
prayer without wandoring? Not you,
not I Oil, that wo might havo the
spirit of prayer which was the apirit of
Christ. Wo want more prayer in tho
family, mora prayer in tho church,
moro prayer in the legislative hall,
ut'iro prayer among the sick, more
prayer among tho aged, moro prayer
among tho young. Tho great advanoo
mom 01 tiic onuroh is to bo in that direction
yot. ,
While tho council of Nuremberg was
sigi ing tho edict that gavo the church
Us freedom, Martin L ither was away
off in a room by hiiuoclf praying for
that accoinplibinent. Though there
was no lino of communication between
tho placo whoro the oeuooil was assembled
and the room where Martin Lithcr
wits praying, Martin Luther suddenly
rose from his knees and tuid, "It is accomplished;
the ohuroh is freo. Vie
tory, victory 1" Oh, for this direct
lino of communication with the throne
of God, ho that it may be said of us as
it was Haid of Luther, "lie got what
lie u-ktd foil" Wo want, like Daniel,
to pray with our face toward tho holy
city. Wo want, like Stephen, to ptay
ga/ing into heaven We want, like pulioan,
to pray smiting on tho heart of
conviction. Wo want, liko Christ, to
pray, tho Christ who emptied his
heart of all its lifoblood and then titled
it with tho sorrows, tho woes, the
agonies of all uations
Cold mountains ami the midnight air
Witnessed tho fervor of his prayer.
The spirit of Christ, I remark lastly,
was a spirit :>f hard work. Not ono
lazy moment in all his life. Whothor
he was talking to the fishermen on the
bcaoh or preaching to the milors on
'ho dock or administering to tho rus
tics auiid the mountains or spending

others. With handti, heart, head busy
fur others, flowing in tho Nazareth
carpenter shop, teaching tho lauio how
to walk without oruth'.s, ouring tho

hungry host. Busy, busy, busy! The
hardy men who pulled tho not out of
tho sea filled with floundering treasures,
tho shepherds who hunted up grassy
plots for their (locks to nibble at, tho
shipwrights pounding away in tho drydooks,
tho winomakers of Kngodt dip
ping tho juioca from the vat and pour
tngtheiu into the goatskins, were not
more busy than Christ. Busy, busy
for others. From tho moment ho went
out of the caravansary of Bothlohem
to the moment whon tho cross plunged
into tho socket on the bloody mount,
busy for others Does that romtnd

What has your Lord done to you, O

hell aro plunging iuto tho conflict, how
oan you desert tho standard? Oh,
backslidden Christian, is it not timo
lor you to start anew for God and anew
for heaven?
Now, I havo showD you that tho disposition
of Christ was a spirit of gcntlo
ncsH, a spirit of self-sacrifi to, a spirit
of humility, a spirit of prayer, a spirit
of hard work ?Uve points. Will you
remember them? Aro you ready now
for the tremendous announcement of
tho text? "II any man havo not tho

Are you ready for thatBlateiuent? Can
wo stand up and say, "Yes, we havo

oan make that answer to tho full question,
jet I am to doolaro to you there
is no discouragement in this subject
for Christian peoplo. You havo tho
seeds of this ohaiacter planted in your
soul. "It doth not yet appear what
wo shall be." You might as wollblauio
an acorn for not being an oak of a
thousand years as to blunio yourself because
you aro not equal to Christ. You
havo tho implautaiion within you
which will enlarge and develop into tho
grandest Christian character, and there
is no discouragement in this text for
you to try to lovo aud seivo the Lord.
Aim high. Sheathe not your sword

Climb higher and higher until you

Hanna on Trusts.
Senator Hanna took hold of a livo
wire when he undertook to handlo tho
trust question and the harder ho grips
it tho wore ho burns his fingers, ilo
was quoted rcoontly as saying that the
trust issue was a faroo because thcro
aro no trusts in tho oountry. This
startod a howl of derision from all
quartors, and now Hanna undertakes
to oxplain his meaning thus: ''Whon I
said that thero are no trusts in the
meaning of tho law 1 did not say that
thoro aro no combinations of oapital,
nor did i say that thoro aro no combinations
of oapital that work injusiioo
to tho people and harm to tho oountry.
In tho strict moaning of tho law of this
oountry, however, thoro aro no trusts.
Lot any ono look up tho oommeroial
definition of the word 'trust' and ho
will seo that x am exxotly right." This
statement has tho morit of boing intelligent,
whiob tho deolaration that thoro
aro no tyr ' " 'od, but it does not

A Destructive Charge
September 27 was tho anniversary of
one of tho most terriblo conflicts of the
civil war. It occurred near Centralia,
Mo. Nearly 200 Federal soldiers riding
out after guerillas mot horo a body of
about 250. Soarooly a dozen of the
Fodcral soldiers esoapod with their
livos, whilo of tho guerillas two only
wero killed and 6no mortally wounded.
There is nowhere in the history of th'e
world a rcoord of a oharge more destructive.
Only a few of the older
oidzens remember the fight. *
Fight With Pistols
After quarrel which h?s extended
over two weeks, two vouog men o?
prominent families of tiaat Point, a
suburb of Atlanta, mot Friday evening
and fought with pistols. One of the
tnon, She fluid IlarriDgton, was si o in
tour places, and the other, Waiter
Hudson, was wounded ouoe. Both arc
believed to bo fatally wounded It is
asserted that both Walter Hudson and
another raau fired at Harrington. Asa
mult of tho incetingGoorgo Hudson is
in jail. The specific ohargo against
hiiu, however, is not made public.
Four bullets struck Harrington, one entering
tho thigh. Hirrirgton tried
tiuio after time to firo a second shot,
hut each ti-oo tho hammer of his revolver
failed to cxplodo tho cartridge.
Hudson, it is alleged, was in lovo with
