Los Angeles, Cal., May 21.—In tills
sermon the preacher makes a strong
plea for the establishment ^of more
brotherly relations among men In pub
lic and private life and for the exercise
of magnanimity hi the forgiveness of
our enemies. The text Is Ephesians
lv, 20, “Let not the sun go down upon
your wrath.”
“Highteous indignation! Aji absurd
verbal term, that,” says some one.
“Two such antithetical words should
never bo yoked together. The first is
found in Hod’s lexicon of honored
names. The second Is of Satanic ter
minology. Can the lightnings and the
sunbeams play together in a garden
at the*same hour? Can the blackness
of midnight and the brightness of mid-
noon lie wedded at the same altar? Is
not anger a sin? Is not anger’s ebon
featured twin sister, wrath, condemned
again and again In sacred Scripture?
‘Wrath Is cruel, and auger Is out
rageous,’ is the Solomonic arraignment
of hate’s evil companions. And yet
here today by this suggestive caption
you are going to talk about ‘twilight
forgiveness’ as though It was right
sometimes to angry until sunset.
Why, such a sermonic theme is not
Biblical. It is not according to Hod’s
will. Once let the egg of anger be
incubated by the Satanic fires and the
germs be allowed to lire even for a
little while, and before sundown those
minute particles of life will grow Into
huge, hissing, venomous serpents that
will poison with spiritual death the
hand Uigt.i -tures them. Bettor make
a fire In *•£ der magazine to cook
an evening eal than allow anger to
rest in your heart until the twilight.”
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let
every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to wrath, for the wrath of
man worketh not the righteousness of
God."
Anger always a sin? Wrath always
under divine condemnation? Oh, uo,
my brother, you are wrong. Righteous
Indignation has a right to live by di
vine commandment. Supposing I go
down the street and see a great, burly,
drunken loafer abusing and kicking a
little, helpless cripple. If I have the
heart of a man shall not my eyes Hash
and my cheeks flush and my fists clinch
in the protection of that suffering child?
Did not Christ in auger drive the mon
ey changers out of the temple? Sup
posing 1 should be called to my front
door by a ring of the bell and there I
should meet a man who, with cowhide
or club, should begin to beat me and
to knock me down. Must 1 quietly sub
mit to being knocked down? Oh, uo.
That is not the gospel. It is not Chris
tian common sense. 1 should probably
do as that Sunday school scholar re
solved whose teacher one day said to
him, “Charley, what does the Blb’.e
teach you to do if one of your little
playmates slapped you on one cheek?”
*T would turn to him the other cheek,"
said the boy. “Then what would you
do if he hit you on the other cheek?”
‘Thou,” said Charley, “I would hit him
back as hard as I could.” Faul says:
"Be ye angry and sin not. Let not the
sun go down upon your wrath.” That
means that there are times when we
have a right to be indignant. There are
times when we have a right to strike
back. There are times when you and I
must stand up for our rights. We are
not doing justice to others when we al
low others to be unjust to us. “But,”
says my text, “there comes a time
when your anger must cool and when
jour striking hack must cease. With
the setting sun you must hear uo mau
a hard, a bitter or an angry thought
or else that anger will do you more
spiritual damage than It can ever do
your adversary.” I hope I have made
myself clear. I hope I have not dis
honored God by laying down the broad
premise—easy to be misunderstood—
that It Is wrong to let others trample
upon your rights, as It Is wrong for
you to trample upon the rights of oth
ers.
A Practical Qacittlon.
This fact, then. I think we may take
for granted. Now comes a practical
question. How are you and I going
to treat those people who have been
unjust to us In the past? There are
scores of them who have done us
wrong. At the time we did all we
could to counteract this evil. Shall we
continue to bear them a grudge? Shall
we continue to be unforgiving and to
bear malice toward them? Oh, no.
Having done our best to counteract the
evil deeds they have done to us, we
should forgive and forget. Let each
day that is dead bury the injustices of
the past. “Twilight forgiveness" in
the store, in the home, in the church,
in our professional careers and on the
playground and In the schoolroom.
May Cod help me to show you that ev
ery resentment harbored will curse you
as well as curse your fellow men. I’ei
haps when we attempt to pluck the
motes out of our brother’s eyes we
overlook huge beams In our own.
There Is so much bad In the b< st of us.
There Is so much Rnod In the worst of us.
It hardly behooves any of us
To think ill of the rest of us.
“Anger in itself is no sin.” once wrote
Dr. Goulburu, "but It lias a tendency
rapidly to become so if it be harbor*' 1
too long. Like the manna of the wil

does and not upon the good he la capa

a ranchman or a farmer who peevishly

San Jose scale honeycombs a few trees.
He is like a lapidary who throws awav

fault of character, because of some
harboring a bitterness against some
church members who did not do as
they ought to do? Do you mean to tell
me that you today have divorced all
your Interests from the church of the
Lord Jesus Christ, which has done o
much for your spiritual life and Is do

world, merely because you do not like

I revolved about him and his family.
1 Sad. sad. Infinitely sad, that he should

cause of a bitter grudge In* holds

were In the position of a very dear
friend of mine some years ago. He
took a young man into his employ and
made him his right hand man in tin*
business. He confided to him his most
treasured secrets and purposes. One
day that young man, under great
temptation, betrayed my friend. He
tried to start a rival business and to
entice away all his clerks and steal Ids
employer’s agencies. He failed. What
would you do under such conditions?
For the one error, the one mistake,
would you blind your eyes to man*
j’ears of faithful service? "Lot uot the
sun go down upon jour wrath.” You
had a right to be angry for a little
while. In one sense, j’ou had a right
to strike back. But do not bear that
grudge any longer. "Forget and for

commandment.
Home Hule’n Waterloo.
But the danger of harboring resent
ment is not limited to the breaking of
friendships; we may suffer it to preju
dice us against good causes. Trj’ as
hard as we will, we must and do asso
ciate the success or tin* failure of the
onward movements of great principles
and causes with the personalities of
our friends and neighbors. When
Charles Stewart Parnell was dethroned
from the respect and affections of his
colleagues tin* Irish cause of home rule
met its Waterloo. Home rule was de
feated at the time when the palm of
victory was about to be grasped by the
outreuchiug hands of its advocates.
When Mark Antony loved his sinful
Egyptian enchantress more than he
loved Rome, then the mightiest war
chieftain who ever trod In the foot
steps of Julius Caesar saw his follow
ers flee his standards, even as the birds
of tin* forests seek the shelter of their
nests before the tempest blasts of the
onsweeping tornado. When Mirabeau
breathed his last and was thought to
be untrue by his henchmen, then the
royalists’ cause was defeated in
France, and the guillotine had to be
drenched with the blood of a Marie
Antoinette and a Louis XVI. Suj’
what j’ou may, every man naturally
represents a cause or a principle apart
from his personality. When you bear
grudge^ against men you bear grudges
against causes. When you divorce your
affections from individuals you lose
your fidelity to the causes and move
ments which those men, in more than
one sense, may typify.
Let me Illustrate. Why are you prej
udiced against the church of the Lord
Jesus Christ? You are uot bad. You
believe In Jesus as your Saviour. You
were reared in a Christian home. Some
of the best and happiest recollections
of your life are of the Sunday school
and of the church of which your moth
er was a member. "I know it,” yon
answer. "I never think of the church
of mj’ youth but with moistened eyes
and tremulous lips. I would not be the
woman I am today bad I not had that
past church training. But about ten
j’ears ago we bad an awful church

the backbitings and censorious criti
cism ever heard theirs were the
worst.” Oh, friend, is such a state
ment right? Because Judas betrayed
Christ, Is that any reason you should
refuse to be a disciple of Christ? Be
cause last year one of our missionary
leaders or one of. the trustees of an
orphan's home proved a rascal and was
found to be a defaulter, is that any
reason we should refuse our aid to
ward those beneficent institutions? In
your hatred for man you are blinding
your ejes to the goo l j’ou can do to
institutions and great reformatory
movement You are acting as foolish
ly as the a trim nner who would refuse
to climb the stellar ladder of the night
and walk with God amid the Infinities
of space merely because a lly speck
gets upon the lens of his telescope.
O man, grow bigger! Widen your
horizon. Do not peevishly stop your
tramp up the heights of Mount Wash
ington, where you can see all New Eng
land under jour feet, merely because
a snarling puppy comes out of a barn
yard and barks at you as you walk
along the country highway. Do not
sap j’our life's usefulness by your
grudges against a few men. Live for
principles. Live for movements. Live
for institutions. If some people who
are working by your side for those
causes are not what they ought to be.
then do not us a coward desert your
post ou the picket lines of the world's
great armies in the time of mortal
combat.
Drop Your Hatreds.
But there Is yet another reason why
you should drop all your hatreds and
animosities as kindlings into the great
conflagrations of the setting sun. You
may be purified by the divine fires of
trouble. But no man was ever able to
make a brother better and truer and
purer by hatred and malice and wrath
and contempt. You have tried It in
tin* past. You have piled up your ex
coriating remarks In great heaps. You
have rolled down great avalanches of
denunciation. You have exhausted your
whole vocabulary and roamed throng 1
hundreds of dictionary pages to find ver
biage sulphurous enough to depict your
withering contempt. But did it do any
good? Have you made your brother love
you any better? Have you made him a
truer or a better man? Have you belli
ed j’our relationship with him in the
least? For fifteen years you have
walked down the street and met him
on an average at least once a week.
You stare at him. What good are you
accomplishing by such bitter actions?
Absolute!* - none. Absolute!*’ no good
results for yourself. Absolutely no
good results for him.
Motive For Crime.
What is the purpose bidden In your
heart of liarboring up that grudge or
malicy or hatred against j’our neigh
bors or your past friend? One of the
first moves of a prosecuting attorney
In trying a criminal Is to find a motive
for the crime. The district attorn y
says to himself, "Here Is murder com
milted. Who would he benefited by
tin* death of this victim?” Ib* always
looks for a motive to trace crime.
When Senator Lei air I Stanford’s wld
ow died In Honolulu the news was
flashed over the kind that she hud bi*<*u
murdered with strychnine. Post nior

had boon absorbed by tin* deceie-od

took? Because you hate him do you
think he will be influenced to be a
better and a nobler character? Because
you hate him do you think the old
bonds of affection will be knitted to-
gether again? Oh, no. Continued
wrath may destroy, but It never j’et
purified. Dr. Adams once said, “The
angry man is like a ship sent to sea
which hath a devil for a pilot!” I say
in our dealings with a brother, a bitter,
. indietlve. hating man Is like a pirate
sailing under a black flag, whose only
purpose is to wreck and not to help or
rescue or save.
We should renounce all our hatreds
and bitternesses and animosities to
ward our brothers because these ha
treds are cursing our spiritual lives as
well as theirs. You can denounce your
neighbor for doing wrong. You can
hate him or despise him. Oh, j’es. But
! when you do, he well aware that jour
owu spiritual life is gradually ebbing
away. Week by week, month by
month, year by year/on account of that
bitterness you have been lifting higher
! and higher and higher an unsurmount-
able wall between you and God.
Brother, sister, it is high time you tore
down that obstructing wall. It Is
high time you eonsumed that hatred in
the conflagration of tin* setting sun. It
is destroying your spiritual hopes.
There is no doubt about it—you cannot
love your God with all your soul and
mind and strength and hate your
neighbor at the same time.
Foriflvciipni* of Othern.
Can you not forgive others as you
would have Christ forgive j'ou? Not
many years ago, wrote a famous writ
er, a missionarj’ was preaching to a
crowd of natives in faroff India. Sud
denly a native who stood behind him
lifted a huge stick to crush in the mis
sionary's skull, but happily the blow
fell short. The crowd would have torn
this would be murderer to pieces, but
the speaker commanded them to stop.
1 “Kill him! Kill him!" cried the multi
tude. "No.” saiil the missionary, “I
will not allow jou to kill him.” Then,
turning to the affrighted mau, he said:
“Brother, my religion commands me to
love my enemies and to do good to
those *\lto injure me. I forgive you,
brother. But remember that though
you escaped punishment at my hands
you cannot escape punishment at the
hands of God unless you repent of your
sins.” Men. women, can you forgive
as this missionary forgave? ChrNt
bids you to forgive. Can you not feel,
as the m X'ion ary taught, that when
you a** U’ltlng y^ur brother you are
hating Chri't? 'Lhere Is na escape
from eternal punishment aniens you
repent of yiir sins and forgive fliosc-
who flare injured j’ou. See, the sun is
set! It is now the twilight hour. Hear
ye uot the divine commandment: “Be
ye angry and sin not. Let not the sun
go down upon your wrath?
In closing I would draw a picture of
the evening hour which we used to
spend in our childhood days and tind
in it a synio d of our evening relation
ship with God. The breakfast was
nearly always a hurried meal. The
children had to get off to school. The
father had to rush away to business.
The mother had no servants In those
days, and all the housework had to be
done with her own hands. Many cares
came with their imminent demands and
said, “ 'Tend to me; ‘tend to me now.”
Then when the lunch hour rolled
around the dining room table was set
only for two or three. Most of the fam
ily were away. But in the evening
hour father came home from the store.
Then mother had her work finished.
Sin* had put on her clean dress. The
boys were home from school or work,
and the girls were all ready for the
games and innocent pleasures of the
| evening. “How did you get ou, father?"
mother asked. "Oh,” said he, "things
were kind of toptj’ turvy at the store.
It did seem as though I had to scold
and find fault an awful lot. But after
all. mother, 1 think the boys at the
store will impr< e if I only continue to
teach them right.” Then mother told
her experiences of the day. The chil
dren had all their happy stories to re
peat. Then one of the girls began to
tell bow some one had treated her bad
ly,'and she said, “Mother, I am Just ns
mad at Clara as I can be." “There,
there, there, child,” said your mother;
“stop that. You have uo right to bring
home disagreeable things and feel un
happy toward any one. Let us leave
all our cares and worries and bitter
nesses on our front doorstep. Tills Is
familj’ night. I^*t us all love every
body and love one another and be hap
py.”
I,ove One Another.
Love one another and be happy you
did. No one who ever came* in touch
with mother’s sweet smile could ever
do anything but love. Thus Go 1 want-i
us to come to him In the twilight hour.
