GRACE OF PATIENCE Dr. Talmaga Sp?*k? rn One cf the Chi~f christian virtues The NotdiT lis Exticise in the Affairs cf Daily Life. Final Rflward Of Patience This disoourso of Pr. Taluiago is a full length portrait of a virtue which all adiuirc, aud the lessonB tauiiht sre very helpful, text, Hebrews x, Ht>, "Ye have need of patience." v _ /..I j / :* l os, wo are in awiui necu 01 u Some of us have a liulo of it, and some of us havo nono at all. Thoro is !ohk of this graco in the world than of al most any other. Faith, hope aud charity aro all abloom in hundreds of souls where you find one specimen of pa tience. Paul, the author of the text, on a oonepicuous occasion lost his paiienci with a ooworker, and from the way hi urges this virtue upon tho Hebrews, upon the Corinthians, upon the'I hessa lonians, upon the H.mans, upon the Colossians, upon the young theological a udeut Timothy, I conoludc ho was speaking out of his own need of inun of this excellence. And I only won dor that Paul had any nerves lift, lm prisonmont. tiagePation, Mediterranean cyclone, arrest for treason and conspir aoy, the wear and tear of preaching to angry mobs, those at the door of a theater aid thoso on the rocks of Mars lull, left him emaciated and invalid aud with a broken voice and tore eyes ana nciTos a-jauglo. He gives us a snap shot of himself when ho describes bis appearanco and his eermonio deliver> by saying, "In bodily presence weak and in specoh contemptible,' and refers to his infl lined eyelids when speaking of tho ardent friendship of tho liala tians be says, "If it bad been possible, jo would have pluoxcd out your owl ] yes and have given them t> mo." We admiro iuobi that which we have least of. Thoso of us with unimpres ive visage most admire beauty; those of us with discordant voice most extol musical cadence; thoso of us with slam snoring speech most wonder at elo | quonoe; thoso of us who got provoked at trifles aod aro naturally irascible appro ciato in others tho equipoise and the calm endurance of paticnoe. 80 Paul, with hands tremulous with tho agita lions of a lifetime, writes of tho "God of patienoo," and of "ministers of God in much patienco," and of "patienoo of hope," and tells thorn to "follow after patienoe," and wants them to "run with patienoe," aud speaks of thoscstrength ned with all might to all patienoe," and looks us all full in tho faco as he makes tho startling charge, "Yo have need of patienco." 8omo of tho people ordinarily most excellent havo a deficit in this respect That man who is tho impersonation of amiaDimy, ins mouth lull of Boft words and his face a spring morning, if a pass irg wheel splash the uiud across his broadoloth, seo how ho oolors up, and hear him denounce the passing jehu The Christian woman, an angel of suavity, now that some social slight is put upon her <~r her family, hear how her utterance increases in intensity. Ono of tho ablest and best miuistors of tho gospel in America, stopping at a hotel in a town where he had an evoning engagement, was interrupted in his afternoon nap by a knock at tho door by a minister who had como to welcome him, and after tho seoond and third knook tho sleeper opened tho door and took tho invader of his reposo by thi oollar and twisted it with a force that, if oontinued, wou.d have been Strang ulation. Oh, it is easy enough to bo paticat when thcro is nothing to be patient about. When tho bank ao ount is good and in no danger of he ing overdiawn, and tho wardrobo is crowded with apparel appropnato for the oold, or the heat, or tho wet, and all the family have attested ilieir health 1 t - ' ' dy kccd appetites at a loaded table, and the newspapois, if they mention uh at all, put r gbt ooustruo iou upon what we do or bay, and we can walk ten miles without getting tired, and wo sleep eight boud hours without turning from bido to aido, the most useless grace 1 can think of is pationoo. It has do Lusincbs any whore in y our house, you havo no mere need of it lhau of a life preserver while you are waikirg the pavement of a oil), no uioro no< u of it than an umbrella under a cloullcbB bky, do moro need of it than of 8ir Humphry Davy s saftey lamp fur miners while you are breathing the tonio air of an October morning. Many of the nations of tho earth havo put their admiration of this virtue into proverb or epigram. O.io ot those eastern proverbs bays, *'Wnil tirno and pationoo tho mulberry liaf bccomcn satin." A Spanish proverb says, "li I havo lost tho rings, hero are tho lingers Still." Tho Italian proverb say b, "Tho world is his who has pationoo." Tho English proverb deolarts, "vVhon one door shuts, another opens." All those proverbs only put in auotber way Haul's terseness when ho bays, "Yo luvo need of patience." First, patience with thofaultsof others. No one keeps the Ten Commandments equally well. One's temperament decides which oommandmcnts ho shall oomo nearest to keeping. If we break somo of tho oommaudmonts our selves, why bo so hard on thoso who break others of tho ton? if you and 1 i uu gftiuni, uud vcrsu ui me IWCIHlCltl chapter of Exodus, why should wo so severely exconato those who ruu against another verso of tho samo chapter f Until we aro perfect ourselves wo ought to be lenient with our neighbor's iinpcr feotions. Vet it is oflon tho oaso that the man most vulnerable is tho most hypororitioal. Perhaps ho is profane, and yet has no tolcranoo for tholt, whon profanity is worso than theft, for whilo the latter is robbery of a man, tho former is robbery of God. Perhaps he is given to defamation and detraction, and yot fcols himself better than some one who is guilty of manslaughter, not realising that tho assassination of charaou-r is tho worst kind of assassination. The lavcr for washing in the anoient tabornaolo was , at its side burnished like a looking glass, 10 tint ihoao that approached that lavor might boo their need of wash iug, and if by (ho gospel lo'kiug glr.-.a wo discovered ou* own net d ??l moral cleansing wo would ho more eoon tnto of donunication Tt o most of t who go wrong are tho victims of oir oumstanecs, and if you and 1 had boon all our livoB surrounded by tho same baneful influonocs wo wou'd probably have done just as badly, pet haps worse In most cases you had holt ?r pity tuoic and Boold Ion Hero is a nun down in the ditoh of misdoing. A self l ight cons soul comes along and looks down at hiui and says: " There is a man down in tho ditoh. Ho had no busiuoss to fall into it. Ho is t-ull ring tho I oonsc(ju^nooa oF his own wrongdoing No ono but hiuiself is to blauio." And i tho hearted man parses on. Again, wo have nocd of paticnco un dor wrong atll ctcd, and who escapes it ! in somo form? It ooines to all pooplo iu professional life in tho sh.apo of being ui'sundorstood H coauso of this how many pooplo fly' to newspapers for an oxp'aca ion. Vou sco their card tignod by their own name declaring thoy did not say thiH ordid not do that i my tluster and worry, not realizing that every man oomos to bo taken for what ho is worth, and you cannot hy any newspaper puff bo takon for more than you aro worth nor hy any nnvs paper depreciation bo put down. There is a spirit of fairness abroad in the world, and if you aro a public tuan you aro classified among the friends or foe* of toeioty. If you aro a friend of society you cannot escape .eprohoDsion. Paul, you were liirht when vou naid. n>t uioro to tho Hebrews thai to us, "Yo have need of paicnoo." I adopted a ru'e years ago which has been of great sorvioo to ine, and it may bo of homo scrvioo to you: Cheerfully oirout to be misunderstood. God knows whether we are right or wrotor, whether we are trying to serve him or damage his cause. When you can ohcorlully consent to bo misunderstood, many ot tho annoyances and vexations of life will quit your heart, and you wi?l eonio into calmer seas than you have cv? r sailed on. The most mis understood being that ever trod the earth was tho glorious Christ. The world mifundcrstood his oradlo and concluded that one so poorly born oouid uovcr be of muoh importanoo: They charged him with inebriety and called him a winobihher. Tiio sauhedrin misunderstood him, and when it was put to tho voto whether he was guilty or not of treason he got but one vote, while all the others voted "Ayo, avo." They misunderstood his oross and oonoluded that if ho had divine power ho would cifeot his own rcsouo. Thoy misundir stood his gravo and dco'arcd that his body had been stolen by infamous resurrectionists. Ho so fully oonsontcd to bo misunderstood that, lurried ami slapped and submerged with scorn, he answered not a word. You cannot oome up to that, but you eauimitato in some small degree tho paticnco of Christ. 1 adiuiro exceedingly the behavior of that farmer at Sedan, who, when the great battlo was going 011 between the armies of Germany and Franco and tho air was full of tho sound of whittling bul ets and bursting shells, kept right on plowing in tho field, making straight furrows, now this way and now that. He had his work to do, and as ho did not feel called to fight, he fell oalled to plow. Bravo! I say for thit, man. Bravo! I say for you if you alI _ -.1 . * * " iuw uouungto aivert oral aim Though a 1 tho artillery of human and satanio liyterago about you, koop right ou plow i'g. Now, lot us this hour turnover a new leaf and banish worrimont and oaroout of our lives. Just sco how theso por versitios havo multiplied wrinkles in your faoo and acidulated your disposi lion and torn your nerves. You arc ?cn years older than you ought to be. Do two things, one for tho bottorm Mil of your spiritual condition and the oilier for tho safety of your worldly in tcrcsts. First, get your heart right with God by boiug pirdo icd tlir >ugh iho aionomeiit of Jesus (Jhriit. Tliai will give sucuiiiy for your soul's welfare. Thon got your lifo insured in sorno wJl established in*uranoo oom pany. That will tako from you all anxiety about the we.faro of your Iioujo h< Id in oaso of your snddou demise. Tho sanitary inlluenoo of suoh msur anoo is not suflieiontiy understood. Many a bread winnir long since do ocascd would now havo b>on alivo and well but for tho reason that when he was prvjhtrated ho saw that in oaso of his decease his family would to go ?hpoor house or have an awful Htrugglo for daily bread. Hut for that at Xiety ho would havo got well That anxiety defied all that tho best physicians could do Supposing these two duties at loodol t >, the ono for tho Bafety of your soul in this world and tho nix , and tho other for tho safety of your faiiiny if you pass out of this life, rnako a now start. If possible havo y our family sntit g room whero you can let iu the sunlight. Have a musical instrument if yuu oan affird it, harp or piano or bass viol or parlor organ. Dt arn how to play ou it yourself or have your children learn how to play on i<. Let bright colors dominato in your room. If there aro pioturcs on tho wall, lot thorn not ho suggostive of bat tlcfields wluoh aro aiways oruol, of deathbeds w hioh are al way s sad, or partings which aro always heartbreaking. Thero aro enough present wocb in tho world without tho perpetual oommomoration of pist miseries If you sing in your homo or yourohurch do not always ohooso tunes in long rnotcr. Far bottor to havo your pationoo augmented by tho consideration that tho misfortunos of this life must soon terminato. Hardly anyono livos to lOt) years, but few livo to 80, whilo tho I .-?la iLl- 1 * P \ # " majviiiy <|uii una 1110 ooioro ou. You ought to bo able, God holping you, to bo ablo to stand an long an that, for then by tho graoo of God you will uiovo into an improved rcsidonoo and oorapassed by all benign and exoollcnt sur roundings, into an atmosphcro every breath of whioh in balmy, and a region whero evory sound ia niusio and every emotion rapture. A land without one tear, without on* parting, without ono grief. This last summer I stood on Sparrow hill, four miles from Moaoow. It was tho plaoo whero Napoloon stood and lookod upon tho oity whioh ho wan about to oapturo. His army had been in long inarches and awful fights and fearful exhaustions, and whon thoy oamo to Sparrow hill tho shout wont up from tens of thousands of voioss, '\Mosoovr, Moscow!" I do not wonder \l tho transport. A ridgo of hills iwcrpsrouud the city A river semiDiroles tt with brilliauoo. It id a spec laole thit v<*u pi aoo in Jour uiotnory as one of tho throe or four most beau urul scenes in all theoarth. Napoleon's sruiy inarched on it in four divisions, four overwhelming torrents of valor and pomp. Dviwn Sparrow hill and through ilio beautiful valley and across toe bridg's and into tho palaces, which surrendered without one shot of rcsistauoo beoauso tho avalAUoho of troops was irrestiblo. Thoro is tho room iu which Napoleon slept and his pillow, which must have been very uneasy, for, oh, how short his staj' hires kindled in all puis of tho city simultaneously drovo out thoir aruiy into tho snowstorms under which 95,000 men perished. How soon did triumphal march turn into horriblo doinolni >n Today, while L sjuak, wo co uo on a high hill, a glorious hill of Christian anticipation. These hosts of God have had a long march, aud fearful battles liou defeats have again and again mingled with tho viotories, but today wo oomo up iu night of tho great oily, tho oapit%l of tho univi-rso, tho rcHidonoo of tho King and tho homo of those who are to reign with hiui forovcr and over. L >ok at tho towors and hear thorn ling with otornal jubilco. Look at tho houso of many mansions, where many of our loved ones aro. Behold tho streets of burnished gold and hoar tho rumhlo of tho ohiriots of thoso who aro moro than conqu-rora. So far from being dtivon back, all tho 12 galea aro wide open for our cntranoo. Wo aro marching on and marching on. and our every Htcp bringa us nearer to (ho city At what hour wo shall outer wo have no power to forotcll, but otioo inliatcd amid tho blood washed host our en tranoo ia oertain. It may bo in the bright noon day or tho dark midnight. It may be when the air ia laden with springtime fragrance or ohiilod with falliag snows. But onter wo must, and enter we will through tho graoo ollerel us as tho chief of sinners. High or hills than any I have spoken of will guard that oity. Moro radiant waters than I saw in tho Uussiau valley will pour through that great motropolia No raging conflagration shall drive us forth, for tho only fires kindled in that oity will be tho fires of a splendor that shall ever hoist and never die. Beaching that shining gato, thoro will bo a parting, but no tears at the parting There will bo an eternal farewell, but no sadness in tho uttera ice. Then there wo will part withono of tho beat friends wo ever had. No placo for her in heaven, for aho needs no heaven Whilo love and j jy and other graoos enter heaven, aho will stay out. l'atienco, beautiful I'aticnoo, long suffering l'atienoo, will at that gato say: "Goodbye! 1 helped you in tho hattlo of life, hut now that you liavo gained tho triumph you need 1110 no moro. I bound up your wounds, hut now they aro all healed. I soothed jour bereavements, hut you pass now iuto the reunion of heaven. 1 can do no moro for you, and there is nothing for mo to do in a city whero thoro aro no hurdons to carry. Goodhyl I go back to tho world from which you oamo up, to rosumo my tour among hospital", and almhousos. Tho cry of tho world's sorrow reaches my ears, and 1 must dooend. Up and down that poor suffering world I will go to assuage and com fort and sustain, uatil tho world iiBclf expiros, and all on its mountains, and in all its valleys, and on all its plains, there is not ono soul left that has uoed of I'ationcie." When you toed a soothing and healing antiseptic application for any purposo, uso tho original DoWitt's Witoh II.'i A Salvo, a well known cure for piles aud skin diseases.
