[Copyright, T,ou1h Klopsch. 1S99.] Washinc;ton, I>cc. 1<*.—In this dis course Dr. Talma go placates the world's revenges and recommends more of the saccharine and less of the sour in human dispositions; text, Ephesians iv, 2<». “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” What a pillow, embroidered of all colors, hath the dying day! The cra dle of clouds from which the sun rises is beautiful enough, but it is surpassed by the many colored mausoleum hi which at evening it is buried. Sunset among the mountains! It al most takes one’s breath away to recall the scene. The long shadows stretch ing over the plain make the glory of the departing light on the tiptop crags and struck aslant through the foliage the more conspicuous. Saffron and gold, purple anti crimson com mingled. All the castles of cloud in ?onllagration. Burning Moseows cn the sky. 1 binging gardens of roses at their deepest blush. Banners of va por, red ns if from carnage. In the bat tle of the elements. The It mi ter among the Aditondaeks and the Swiss vil lager among the Alps know what is a sunset among the mountains. After ti storm at sea the rolling grandeur into which the sun goes down to bathe at nightfall is .something to make weird and splendid dreams out of for a lifetime. Alexander Smith in his poem compares the sunset to “the bar ren bedell of hell.” but this wonderful spectacle of nature makes me think of the burnishi .1 wall of heaven. I’aul in prison, writing my text, remembers some of the gorgeous sunsets among the mountains of Asia Minor and how he had often seen the towers of Da mascus blaze in the close of the orient al days, and he (lashes out that mem ory in the text when he says, “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Sublime all suggestive duty for peo ple then and people now! Forgive ness before sundown! He who never feels the throb of indignation is imbe cile. He who can walk among the in justices of the world inflicted upon himself and others without Hush of check or Hash of eye or agitation of nature is cither in sympathy with wrong or semi-idintie. When Ananias, the high priest, ordered the constables of the courtroom to smite Taul on the mouth. Taul Hivil up and said. “Bod shall smite tlice, thou whited wall.” In the sentence immediately before my text Taul commands the Ephe sians. “Be ye angry and sin not.” It till depends on what you are mad tit and how long the feeling lasts whether anger is right or wrong.. Fife is full of exasperations. Saul after David, Suceoth after Bidcun, Korah after Moses, the Tasquins after Augustus, the Tharisces after Christ, and every one has had Ids pursuers, and we are swindled or belied or misrepresented or persecuted or in some way wronged, and the danger is that healthful in dignation shall become baleful spite and that our feelings settle down into a prolonged outpouring of temper dis pleasing to Bod and ruinous to our selves, and hence the important in junction of the text, “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Why that limitation to one’s anger? Why that period of (laming vapor set to punctuate a naming disposition? What has the sunset got to do with one’s resentful emotions? Was it a haphazard sentiment written by Taul without special significance? No, no. I think of live reasons why we should not let the sun set before our temper. Aivny With EcoiIm. Eirst. because 12 hours Is long enough to be cross about any wrong indicted upon ns. Nothing is so ex hausting to physical health or mental faculty as a protracted indulgence of ill humor. It racks the nervous sys tem. It hurts the digestion. It heats the blood iu brain and heart until the whole body is lirst overheated and I hen depressed. Besides that, it sours the disposition, turns one aside from his legitimate work, expends energies that ought to be better employed and docs us more harm than it does our antagonist. Taul gives us a good, wide allowance of time for legitimate denunciation, from ti o’clock to ti o’clock, lint says, “Stop there!” Watch tnc descending orb of day, and when it reaches the horizon take a reef in your disposition. Unloose your col lar and cool off. Change the subject to something delightfully pleasant. Enroll your tight list and shake hands with some one. Bank up the tires at the curfew hell. Drive the growling dog of enmity hack to its kennel. The hours of this morning will pass by, and the afternoon will arrive, and the sun will begin to set, and. I beg you, on its blazing hearth throw all your feuds, invectives and satires. Other things being equal, the man who preserves good temper will come out ahead. An old writer says that the ceh'brated John Henderson of Bristol, England, was at a dinner party where political excitement ran high and the debate got angry, and while Henderson was speaking Ids opponeuf. unable to answer Ids argument, dashed a glass of wine in Ids face, when the speaker deliberately wiped the lii|iiid from his face and said: “This. sir. is a digres sion. Now, If you ploase. for the main argument.” While worldly plillosi pliy could help but very few to such cqui- poiso of spirit the grace of Bod could help any man to such u triumph. “Im possible.” you say. “I would have ci ther lift the table In auger or have kimcl. >j1 the man down." But 1 havw conn- to believe that nothing is impossi ble if Bod help Aye, you wnl .jot postpone till sun down lorglu iti -s of enemies If you can realize that their behavior toward you may lie pul into Hie catalogue of the "all tilings” that “work together foi' good to those that love Bod.” 1 have laid multitudes of friends, hut I have fomd iu my own experience thot respi'ctfnll y Mil Id I your patroniigs ;i*k Hi" |ioo|>li oiu lit (own to briuir i corn along when they come In to <lo o’ ho|i|*lng.

Uon't Nurisc Wrath. Again, we ought not to let the sun go down on our wrath, because we will sleep better if we are at peace with everybody. Insomnia is getting to be one of the most prevalent of disorders. How few people retire at 10 o’clock at night and sleep clear through to 0 iu the morning! To relieve tins disorder all narcotics and sedatives and mor phine and chloral and bromide of potas sium and cocaine and intoxicants are used, but nothing is more important than a quiet spirit if we would win somnolence. How is a man going to deep when he is in mind pursuing an jnciay? With what nervous twitch he will rtart out of a dream! That new (dan of cornering his foe will keep him wide awake while the clock strikes 11, 12. 1. 2. I give you an unfailing prescription for wakefulness: Spend the ev» ning hours rehearsing your wrongs ami t! e best way of avenging iln in. IJuld a convention of friends eu this subject in your parlor or olllce at 8 or t) o’clock. Close the evening by writing a bitter letter expressing youi sentiments. Take from the desk or pigeonhole the papers iu the case to re- fi.sh your mind with your enemy's meanness. Then lie down and wait for the coming of the day. and it will come before sleep comes or your sleep will be worried quiescence and, if you take the precaution to lie Hal on your l ack, a frightful nightmare. Why not put a bound to your ani mosity? Why let your foes come into the sanctities of your dormitory? Why let those slanderers who have already torn your reputation to pieces or in jured your business bend over your j midnight pillow and drive from you I one ol the gn atest blessings that Bo 1 | can oiTer—sweet, refreshing, all in- i vigorating sleep? Why not fence out I your enemies by the golden bars of the sunset? Why not stand behind the lairiicudo of evening cloud and say to them. “Thus far and no farther.” Many a man and many a woman is having the health of body as well as the lualih of soul eaten away by a malevolent spirit. I have in time of religious awakening had persons night al’ier night come into the inquiry room and get no peace of soul. After awhile I have bluntly asked them, "Is there not some one against whom you have a hatred that you are not willing to give up?” Altera little confusion they have slightly whispered, "Yes.” Then I have said. “Y’ou will never Hud peace witli tJod as long as you retain that virulence.” I’oraI' 4* Your KncmtoH. A hoy in Sparta having stolon a fox kept him under Ids coat, and. though the fox was gnawing his vitals, he sub- mitt'd to it rather than expose ids i misdeed. .Many a man witli a smiling j face has under his jacket an animosity ; that is gnawing away the strength of | his body and the integrity of his soul, j Bettor get rid of that hidden fox as soon as possible. There are hundreds j of domestic circles where that which | most is needed is the spirit of forgire- , m ss. Brothers apart, and sisters apart, I and parents and children apart. Solo- I moil says a brother offended is harder I to bo won than a strong city. Are there not enough sacred memories of your childhood to bring you together? The rabbins recount how that Neb uchadnezzar’s son had suclr a spite against his father that after he was dead lie had Ids father burned to ashes and then put the ashes into four sacks and tied them to four eagles’ nocks which Hew away in opposite directions. And there are now domestic autipa tides that seem forever to have scat tered all parental memories to the four | winds of heaven. How far tin* eagles j Hy witli those sacred ashes! The hour j of sundown makes to that family no practical suggestion. Thomas Carlyle, in Ids biography of Frederick the Breat, says tin* old king was told hy the confessor In* must he at peace with Ids enemies if he wanted to enter heaven. Then he said to his wife, the queen. “Write to your brother after 1 am dead that I forgive him.” Koloff, tin* confessor, said. “Her majesty had bettor write him immediately." “No,” said the king, “after I am dead: that will be safer.” So he let the sun of his earthly existence go down upon his wrath. Again, we ought not to allow the sun to set before forgiveness takes place, because we might not live to see another day. And what if we should be ushered into the presence of our Maker with a grudge upon our soul? The majority of people depart this life in the night. Between 11 o'clock p. m. and 2 o'clock a. tm there is some thing in ihi* atmosphere which relaxes tin* grip -which tin* body has on the soul, and most people enter the next world through the shadows of this world. Perhaps Bod may have ar ranged it in that way so as to make the contrast the more glorious. I have seen sunshiny days in Mils world that must have been almost like the* radi- nnee of heaven. But as most people leave the earth between sundown and sunrise they quit (ids world at Its darkest, and heaven, always bright, vi ill be the brighter for that contrast. Out of darkness into Irradiation. l!iM'tl<*ii of Old <>I'UiIk«*m. Shall we then leap over the roseate liana of sunset Into the favorite hunt ing ground of disease and death, car rying our animosities with in? Who would want to confront his Bod. against whom we have :*.!1 done mean er things than anybody has even done a “ iu.'A us, carrying old grudges? How '•mi v.e expect Ids forgiveness fur the xieater when we are not w illing to for give others for the Jess? Napoleon was encouraged to undertake \he cross ing of the Alps because Charlemagne had previously cros ;cd them. And all this rugged path of forgiveness hears the bleeding footsp ps of him who con quered through suffering, and wo ought to he willing to iollow. On the night of our di pgrtiire from this life in to tin* next our one plea will have to be fur mercy, and It will have to he offered in the presence of him who has said, “If you forgive not moll their trespasses, jicitlicr will your Heavenly Father forgive your trespasses." What a sorry plight if we stand there hat- Bod s>, arranged It that the greatest i ,lliH 0,M ‘* *t»d hating that one, and wishing that one a damage, and wish ing some one else a calamity, and wo ourselves needing forgiveness for 10,- <100 obliquities of heart ami life. When our last hour comes, we want It to tlnd us all right. Hardly anything affects me so much in the uncovering of Toiu* poll as the account of the soldier who, opportunities of usefulness that have | been «;pciicd before me were opt ned by etiemii s. So you may harness your | tiulugoulsts to your best Interests nud compel them to draw you on to better work and higher character. Suppose, Instead of waiting uuill .’>2 minutes after 1 lids evening, when the auu will iftor the city had for many centuries been covered with the ashes and scoriae of Vesuvius, was found stand ing in his [dace on guard, hand on spear and helmet on head. Others fled at the awful suhniergemeut, but the explorer, 1,700 years after, found the body of that brave fellow In right posi tion. Ami it will he a grand thing if, when our last moment comes, we are found In right position toward God, on guard and unaffrighted by the descend ing ashes from the mountain of death. I do not suppose that 1 am any more of a coward than most people, but I de clare to you that I would not dare to sleep tonight if there were any being iu all the earth with whom I would not gladly shake hands, lest during the night hours my spirit dismissed to oth er realms, I should, because of my un forgiving spirit, be denied divine for giveness. “But,” says some woman, “there Is a horrid creature that has so Injured me that rather than make up with her 1 would die first.” Well, sister, you may take your choice, for one or the other it will be—your complete pardon of her or God’s eternal banishment of you. “But,” says some man, “that fel low who cheated me out of those goods, or damaged my business credit, or started that He about me iu the newspapers, or by his peiiidy broke up my domestic happiness, forgive him I cannot, forgive him I will not.” Well, brother, take your choice. Y’ou will never be at peace with Bod till you are at peace with man. Feeling as you now do, you would not get so near the harbor of heaven as to see the light ship. Better leave that man with the Bod who said: "Vengeance is mine. I will repay.” You may say: “I will make him sweat for that yet. I will make him squirm. 1 mean to pursue him to the death.” But you are damag ing yourself more than you damage him, and you are making heaven for your own soul an impossibility. If he w ill not be reconciled to you, Le recou- eilcd to him. In live or six hours It will be sundown. The dahlias will bloom against the western sky. Somewhere between this and that take a shovel and bury the old quarrel at least six feet deep. “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Ki* ii on nee Ittif reilii. “But,” you say, "I have more than 1 can hear. Too much is put upon me, and I am not to blame If 1 air some what revengeful and unrelenting.” Then I think of the little child at the moving of some goods from a store. The father was putting some rolls of goods on tin* child's arm, package after package, and some one said, “That child Is being overloaded, and so much ought not to he put upon her,” when the child responded, “Father knows how much I can carry." And God, our Father, will not allow too much im position on his children. In the day of eternity it will be found you had not one annoyance too many, not one ex asperation too many, not one outrage too many. Your Heavenly Father knows how much you can carry. Again, we ought not to allow the pas sage of the sunset hour before the dis missal of all our affronts, because we may associate the sublimcst action of the soul with the sublimcst spectacle in nature. It is a most delightsome thing to have our persona! experiences allied with certain subjects. There is a tree or river bank where God lirst an swered your prayer. You will never pass that [dace or think of that place without thinking of the glorious com munion. There was some gate or some room or some garden wall where you were afliauced with the companion who has been your chief Joy in life. You never speak of that place but with a smile. Some of you have pleas ant memories connected with tin* even ing star, or the moon in Its first quar ter, or with the sunrise, llocalise you saw It just as you were arriving at harbor after a tempestuous voyage. Forever and forever, O hearer, asso ciate the sunset with your magnani mous, out and out, unlimited renun ciation of all hatreds and forgiveness of all foes. I admit It Is the most difficult of all graces to practice, and at the start you may make a complete failure, but keep on In the attempt to practice it. Shakes peare wrote ten plays before he reach ed "Hamlet,” and 17 plays before he reached “.Merchant of Venice,’" and 2S plays before he reached "Macbeth.” And gradually you will come from the easier graces to the most difficult. Be sides that, It Is not a matter of per sonal determination so much as the laying hold of the almighty arm of God, who will help us to do anything wo ought to do. Itemoniber that in all personal controversies tin* one least to bmiu*; wltl have to take tin* lirst step at pacification if it is ever effected. The contest between -Lschincs and Aristippus resounds through history, but Aristippus, who was least to blame, went to .Eschines ami said, “Hlinll we not agree to be friends be fore we make ourselves the laughing stock of the whole country?” And .Eschines said, “Thou art a far better man than I. for I began the quarrel, hut thou hast been the first in healing the breach.” And they were always friends afterward. Ho let the one of you that Is least to blame take the first step toward reconciliation. ’The one most iu the wrong will never take it. Practice Puruiveacsa. Oil, It makes one feel splendid to be able by God's help to practice un limited forgiveness. It improves one's body and soul. My brother, it will make you measure three or four more Inches around the chest and Improve your respiration so that you can take a deeper und longer breath. It im proves the countenance hy scattering the gloom and makes you somewhat like God himself. He Is omnipotent, and we cannot copy that. He is inde pendent of all the universe, and we cannot copy that. He Is creative, and we cannot copy that. He Is omnipres ent, and we cannot copy that. But he forgives with a broad sweep all faults, and all neglects, nud ail insults, and nil wrongdoings, and In that we may copy him with mighty success. Go harness that sublime action of your soul to the •unset—the hour when the gate of heaven opens to let the day pass Into eternities and some of the glories es cape this way through the brief open ing. We talk about the Italian sun sets, and sunset amid the Apennines, and sunset amid tin* cordilleras, hut 1 will tell you how you mu) see a grander sunset than any mere lover of nature ever beheld that Is, hy Hinging Into It all your hatreds and animosi ties, and let the horses of fire tram ple them, and the chariots of fire roll over them, and the spearmen of fire stab them, and the bench of fire con sume them, and the billows of fire over whelm them. Again, we should not let the sun go down on our wrath, because it is of little imp* Jauce what the world says of you or does to you when you have the afllucnt God of the sunset as your provider and defender. People talk as though it were a fixed spectacle of na ture and always the same. But no one ever saw two sunsets alike, and if the world has existed 0,000 years there have been about 2,190,000 sunsets, each of them as distinct from all the other pictures iu the gallery of the sky as Titian’s “Last Supper,” Rubens’ “De scent From the Cross,” Raphael's “Transfiguration” and Michael An gelo’s “Last Judgment” are distinct from each other. If that God of such Infinite resources that he can put on the wall of the sky each evening more than the Louvre and Luxembourg gal leries all in one is my God und your God, our provider and protector, what is the use of our worrying about any human antagonism? If we are misin terpreted, the God of the many colored sunset can put the right color on our action. If all the garniture of the western heavens at eventide Is but the upholstery of one of the windows of our future home, what small busi ness for us to be chasing enemies! Lot not this Sabbath sun go down up on your wrath. Mohammed said, “The sword Is the key of heaven and hell.” But, my hearers, In the last day we will find just the opposite of that to he true, and that the sword never unlocks heaven, and that he who heals wounds is greater than he who makes them, and that on the same ring are two keys —God’s forgiveness of us and our for giveness of enemies and these two keys unlock paradise. And now I wish for all of you a beautiful sunset to your earthly exist ence. With some of you it has been a long day of trouble, and with others of you it will be far from calm. When the sun rose at 0 o’clock, it was the morning of youth, ami a fair day was phophesied, but by the time the noon day or middle life had come and the clock of your earthly existence had struck 12 cloud racks gathered and tempest bellowed iu the track of tempest. But as the evening of old age approaches 1 pray God the skies may brighten and the clouds be piled up in to pillars as of celestial temples to which you go or move as with mounted cohorts come to take you home. And as you sink out of sight below the hori zon may there be a radiance of Chris tian example lingering long after you are gone, and on the heavens be writ ten iu letters of sapphire, and on the waters In letters of opal, and on the hills In letters of emerald, “Thy situ shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself, for the Lord shall lie thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall lie ended.” Ho shall the sunset of earth become the sunrise of heaven. The Man With the Hoe. General Tracy was engaged in a dis cussion with another American on Pro fessor Markham’s much talked of poem, “The Man With the Hoe.” An Englishman who was listening to the argument asked who the man with the hoe was. “The man with the hoe?” repeated tin* general. “Why, that Is the news paper man.” Somebody had to hammer a treatise on printing presses into the English man’s head before he saw the point. “Sweet Bells Jangled Out of Tune and Harsh.** Shakespeare’* description fits thou sands of women.

Another, as Mr. Cribble has pointed out in a weekly contemporary, went aloft to test the truth of the tradition that the top of Pilatus held Pontius Pilate's body.

No one made any remark upon the temerity of the ladies who invited Am brose Bierce to deliver a lecture before the members of their dub. Undaunted by his reputation they fearlessly beard ed the lion in Ids den, a committee ex tending the invitation verbally. Bierce was so taken aback by the unexpectedness of the request that, to his own surprise, he found himself weakly accepting the bid and then humbly consulting his callers concern ing the topic upon which they might desire him to speak. The president, a dignified and very conservative lady, in reply to a novel suggestion of the lecturer elect, re marked somewhat- loftily that they were not a dub of new women. “I am convinced of that,” answered Mr. Bierce in a bland and deferential tone, which almost but not quite con cealed Ids cynicism. “Shall I say you arc a club of old women?”—San Fran cisco News Letter.

To an ordinary mind the accident would have been calamitous, but the china seller rose superior to fortune.
