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

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.

The professors of the Swiss univer

climbing. But It would be a mistake
to Imagine that the pioneers were al
ways enticed into the solitudes by love
of nature, through sense of scenic
grandeur and beauty, as these have
been understood since Ruskln opened
the eyes of men. One of them spent
many a season in searching for traces
of the dragon of fable. Another, as Mr.

The Japanese have a proverb relat

tain tops. “There are two kinds of
fools—those who have not seen It, and
those who have seen It twice.” Until
the nineteenth century modern Euro
peans appear to have been pretty gen
erally of that way of thinking. Ninety
years ago some of them painted the
risks of mountaineering In language
that In our day would ho appropriate
to a north pole trip In Andree’s bal
loon.—London Dally News.

When Lincoln Died.
And so the* hours passed without per
ceptible* change In the president’s con
dition ami with only slight shifting of
the scene around him. The testimony
of those who bail witnessed the mur
der began to be taken, iu an adjoining
room. Occasionally the figures at the
bedside changed. Mrs. Lincoln came
in at intervals, sobbing out her grief,
and Mien was led away. This man
went, another took his place. It was
not until daylight that there came a
perceptible change. Then the breath
ing grew quieter, the face became
more calm.
The doctors at Lincoln’s side knew
that, dissolution was near. Their bul
letin of 0 o’clock read, “Pulse failing;”
that of half past »’>, “Still falling;” Hint
of 7, “Symptoms of immediate dissolu
tion," and then at 22 minutes past 7,
in the presence of his son. Secretaries
Stanton, Welles ami Usher, Attorney
General Speed. Senator Sumner, Pri
vate Secretary Hay, Dr. Gurley, his
pastor, and several physicians and
friends, Abraham Lincoln died.
There was a prayer, and then the
solemn voice of Stanton broke the still
ness, "Now he belongs to the ages.”—
McClure’s Magazine.
(aiilluntry of Ambrose Illerec.
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.
Only .Ini* of lia Kind.
Horace Walpole tells a lively story of
an old porcelain vender, who had an
exceedingly rare and valuable jar on
which he set an almost fabulous price.
One hot summer a slight volcanic
shock, such ns the* British Isles occa
sionally experience, Jogged his house
about his ears and split his porcelain
vase. To an ordinary mind the accident
would have been calamitous, but the
china seller rose superior to fortune.
He doubled the price of the article im-
medlntdy and advertised It as “tho
only Jar In the world which had been
cracked by an earthquake.” Nothing
very slow about that. Whether he got
Ids money Is not added, but he certain
ly deserved It

Very Sad.
A lady writing from Victoria, Brit
ish Columbia, to a friend in Detroit re
lates an amusing and at the same time
pathetic story of her Japanese “help,”
Frank. Going into the kitchen, she
found him at the window with a far
away, sad and distressed look on his
little brown face. Being human and
wishing, if possible, to he of service to
him, she ventured to inquire the cause
of his distress, saying, “What’s the
trouble, Frank?” to which he mourn
fully made answer, with increasing
emphasis us he neared the end of his
Woes:
“I am Just thinking, Mrs. Hunt; I
have no money, no sweetheart and no
