TALM AGE’S SERMON A Discourso on tho Duty ot Exercising a Forgiving Spirit, Ami Following the Apostolic Injunct ion to ••Lot Not the Suit Oo Down Upon Four Wroth**—The Evils or a Malevolent Disposition. “Forgiveuess Before Sundown” w«is the theme of a recent sermon by Rev. IP. DeWitt Tatmage at the Brooklyn Tabernacle, the text being: Let not the sun go down your wrath.—Ephesians It.. 2J. Dr. Talmage said: What a pillow embroidered of ell colors hath the dying day t The cradle of clouds from which the sun rises is beautiful enough, but *it is surpassed by the many-colored mausoleum in which at evening it is bnried. Sunset among the mountains! It almost takes one's breath away to recall the scene. The long shadows stretching over the plain make the glory of the departing light, on the tip-top crags and struck nslnnt through the foliage, the more conspicuous. Saffron and go'd, purple and crimson commingled. All the castles of cloud in conflagration. Burning Moscow:; on the sky. Hanging gardens of roses at their deepest blush. Banners of vapor, red as IP from carnage, in the battle of the elements. The punter among the Adirondack ! and the Swiss villager among the Alps know what is a sunset among the1 mountains. After a storm at sea the rolling grandeur into which the sun goes down to bathe at nighfall is something to oinks weird and splendid dreams out of for a lifetime. Alexander Smith in his poem eompares-the sunset to “the barreu beach of hell ,” but this wonderful spectacle of nature makes me think of the burnished wall of Hswren. I*aiil in prison writing my text remembers some of the gorgeous sunsets among the mountains of Asia Minor, and how lie bad often seen the towers of Damascus blase In the close of the Oriental days, and he flashes out that memory in the texl; when he says: Let not the sun go down up in your wrath. Sublimo and all-suggestive duty for people then and people now. Forgiveness before sundown. He who never feels the throb of indignation is imbecile. He who can walk among the injustices of the world; iuflicted upon himself dnd others, without flush of cheek, or flash of eye, or agitation of nature. is either in sympathy with wrong or semi-idiotic. When Ananias, the high priest, ordered the constables of the courtroom to smite Paul in the mouth, Paul fired up and said: (Sod shall smite' thee, thou wh ited wall. In the sentence immediately before my text, Paul commanded the Kphesiaus: Be ye angry and sla not. It all depend < on what yon are mad at and how long the feeling lasts whether anger is right or wrong. Life is full of exasperations. Saul after David. Succoth after Gideon, Korali after Moses, tlha Pasquins after Augustus, th“ Pharisees after Christ, and everv one bad his pursuers.

and w a are swindled, or belied, or misrepresented, or persecuted, or in some way wronged, and the danger is that healthful indignation shall become baleful spite, and that our feelings settle down into a prolonged outpouring of temper displeasing to Uod and ruinous to ourselves, and hence the important injunction of the text: Let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Why that limitation to one’s anger? Why that period of flaming vapor set to punctuate a flaming disposition!' What has the sunset got to do with one’s reseutful emotions? Was it a haphazard sentiment written by Fan! without special significance? ,, No, no;'I think of five reasons why we should not let the sun set before our temper sets. First, because twelve hours is long enough to be cross about any wrong iuDieted upon us. Nothing is so exhausting to physical health or mental faculty as a protracted indulgence of ill-humor. It racks the nervous system. It hurts the digestion. It heats the blood in brain and heart until the whole body is Lrst overheated and then depressed. Besides that, it sours the disposition, turns one aside from his legitimate work, expends energies that ought to be better employed, and does us more harm than it does our antagonist. Pani gives us a good, wide allowance of time for legitimate denunciation, from six o’clock tb six o’clock, but says: “Stop there!” Watch the descending orb of day, and when it reaches the horizon take a reef in your disposition. Unloose your collar and cool off. Change the subject to something delightfully pleasant Unroll your tight fist and shake hands with soine one. Bank op the fires at the curfew belt Drive the prowling dog of enmity back to its kernel. The hours of this morning will pass by, and the afternoon will arrive, and the sun will begin to set, and I beg yon 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 essayist says the celebrated John Henderson, of Bristol, Eng., was at a dining party where political excitement ran high aid the debate goi angry, and while Henderron was speaking, his opponent, anable to answer his argument, dashed a glass of wine In his face, when the speaker deliberately wiped the liquid from his face and said: “This, sir, is a digression; now, if yon please, for the main argument.’’ While worldly philosophy could help but very few to such equipoise of spirit, the grace of >3od could help any man to snch a triumph. “Impossible,” you say; “I would have either left the table in anger or have knocked the man down.” . But I have come to believe that nothing is impossible if God helps, since what I saw at Beth-Shan faith cure in London, England, two summers ago. While the religions service was going on, Esv. Dr. Boardman, glorious man! since gone to his heavenly rest, was telling the sick people present that Christ was nhere as of old to heal all diseases, and that, it they would only believe, their sickness would depart. I saw a woman near me, with hand and arm twisted of rheumatism, and her wrist was fiery with inflammation, and it looked like those cases of chronic rheumatism which we have all seen and

sympathized with, cases beyond all human healing. At the preacher's reiteration ot the words: “Will yon believe? Do yon believe? Do yon believe now?” I head this poor woman say with an emphasis which sounded through the building: “Ido believe!” And then she laid her twisted arm and hand out is straight as your arm and hand, or mine. If I had seen one rise from the dead I would not have been much more thrilled. Since then I believe that Clod will do any thing in answer to oar prayer and in answer to our bodies, an and inflamed with sinful proclivity he straighten that also and make it well and dean. Aye, you will not postpone till sundown forgiveness of enemies If you can realise that their behavior toward yon may be put into the catalogue of the “all things” that “work

tcreds and compel them to draw, vs>» ou to letter wort and higher character. Suppi ss, instead of waiting uutil six minutes past tire o’clock this evening, when the sun will set, you transact this g'orious work of forgr.-euess before meridian. Again: We ought not to let the sun rs down on our wrath, because we will sleep ; better if we are at peace with every body. ' Insomnia is getting to lie one of the most prevalent of disorders. How few people retire at ten o’clock at night; and skep clear through to six in the morning. To ' relievo this disorder all narcotics, and sedatives, and chloral, and bromide of potassium, and cocaine, and intoxicants are used, but nothing lis more important that a quiet spirit if we would win sonsuolonce. How is a man gain;.; to sleep when he is in mind pursuing an enemy? With what nervous twitch he will start out of a dream! The new plan t ur cornering his foe will keep him wide awake while the clock strikes eleven, twelve, one, two, three, four. I give you an unfailing proscription for wakefulness: Spend the evening hour srehearsing your wrongs and tike liest way of avenging them. Hole! a convention of friends on this subject in your parlor or office at eight and nine o’clock. Close the evening by writissg a bitter letter expressing your sentiments. Take from Hie desk or pigeonhole the papers in the case to refresh your mind wi h your evening’s meanness. Then lie dowu and wait for the coming of the day, and it will tome I'xsfore sleep come*, or vour sleep will bo a worried quiescence, and, if you take she precaution to lie flat on your back, a frightful nig htmare. Why not put a bound to your animosity? Why let your foes come Iuto the sanctities of your dormitory? -Why. let these slanderers who have already torn your reputation to pieces or ininred your business bend over your midnight pillow and drive from you one of the greatest blessings that God -can offer— sweet, refreshing, nil-invigorating sloop. ; Why not fence out your enemies by the golden bars of the sunset? Why not stand behind the barricade of eveningcloud 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 health of soul eaten away by a malevolent spirit. I bavo in time of religious awakening had person: night alter night come iuto the inquiry-room and get no peace of soul. After awhile 1 Slave bluntly asked her- ‘‘Is there not some one against whom you have a hatred that you are not willing to give up?” After a little contusion she has slightly whispered: “Yes.” Then 1 said to her “You will never find peace with God as loug as yon re; ain that virulence.” \ A boy in Sparta, having stolon a fox, kept him under his coat, a ;id though the fox was gnawing his vitals ho submitted to it rattier than expose his misdeed. Many a man with a smiling lace ha; uuder his jacket an animosity that is gnawing away the strength of bi body aull the integrity of his soul. Better got rid of that hidden fox a: soon as possible. T .ere are hundreds of domestic circles where that which is most needed is the spirit of forgiveness. Brothers apart, and sisters apart, and pareuts aud children apart. Solomon says a brother offended is hifrder to be won than a strong city. Are! there not enough sacred memories of vour childhood to bring you together? The rabbins recount how that Nebuchadnezzar's sen bad such a spil e against bis father that after he was dead he had bis father burned to ashes, and then put the asheS into four sacks and tied them to four eagles’ necks, wh'cb lew awav ia opposite d ructions. And theie are now- domestic

^antipathies that seem fore vcrto have scattered all parental memories to the four winds of Heaven. How far the eagles By with those sacred ashes! The hour of sundown makes to that family no practical suggestion. Thomas Carlyle, in hi* biography of Frederick the Great, says the old King was told hy the confessor he must be at peace with his enemies ii he wanted to enter Heaven. Then be said to his wife, the Queen: “Write to your brother after I am dead that I forgive him.” Koioff.^qe 'eTOtTesSoFT said: “Her MajBTly had better write to him immediately.” “No,” said the King, "after I am dead; that will he infer." So he let the sun of his earthly existence go down upon his wratln Again: We ought not to allow the son to set before forgiveness takes place, because we might noli lire to see another clay. And what if ire should be ushered into the presence of our Maker with a grudge upon our soul? The majority of I>eopie depart this life in cue night, Between eleven o’clock p. m. and three o’clock a. in. there is soraet hing in the atmosphere which relaxes the grip which the body has on the son), and most of lieople enter the next world through the shadows of this world. Perhaps God may have arranged it in this way so as to make the contrast the more glorious. I have seen sunshiny days in this world that must have been like the radiance of Heaven. But as most people leave the earth between sundown and sunrise, they quit this world at its darkest, and Heaven, always bright, will be the bright-, er for that contrast. Out of blackness into irradiation. Shall we then leap over the roseate bank of sun set into the favorite hunting ground ol! disease and death, carrying our animosities with us? Who would want to confront his God. against whom we have all done meaner things than anybody has ever done against us, carrying old grudges? How can we expect His forgiveness for the greater when we are not willing to forgive others the less? Napoleon was encoqnssed to undertake the crossing of the Alps because Charlcmange had previously crossed them. And all this rugged path of forgiveness bears the bleeding footsteps of' Him who conquered through suffering, and we ought to be willing to follow, On the night of our depar ture from this life Into the next, our one p ea trill have to be for mercy, pud it will liavn to be offered in the presence of Him who bus said: If you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Heavenly Father forgive your trespasses.

“But,” says some woman, “Saere is horrid creature th»,* has no injured i— that rather than make up with her I would die first.” Well, sinter, you may take vow choice—for one or the other it will your complete parties of her or God'? nal banishment of you. “But,” says man, “that fellow who cheated tna out of those goods, or damaged my business credit, or started that lie shoot ate in the newspapers, or by hi* perfidy broke up my domestic happiness, forgive him X can not, forgive him I will not.” Well, brother, take your choice. You will never be at peace with God till yon are at peace with man. Feeling as yon now do, you wonhfc not get so near the harbor of Heavsn as to see the lightship. Better leave that roan with the God, who said: Vengeance is mine,) will rspsy. Yon may say: “I will make him sweat for that yet, I will make him squirm, I mean to pwsae him to the death,*’ bat yon are damaging yourself more than J damage him, and yon are making Hues for rbnrown soul an mpnssibility.

Your Heavenly Esther" knows bow much you can cwV Again, we ought not to altered :rh«T pas*1 sage of the sunset hour before die dismissal of all our affronts, because we' may associate the sublimest action of the soul with the sublimest spectacle in nature. It 4a. a most delightsome thing to have our personal experiences allied with certain objects. There is a tree or river bank where God‘first answered your prayer. You will never pass that place or think of that place without thinking of the glorious communion. There was some gate or some room or some garden walk where you were affianced with the companion who has been yonr chief joy in life. You never speak of that place but with a smile. Some of you have pleasant memories'-con-nected with the evening star, or the moon in its first quarter, or with the sunrise, because you saw it just as you were arriving at harbor after a tempestuous voyage. Forever and forever, O hearer, associate the sunset with your magnanimous, out and out, unlimited renunciation 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 failmfe, but keep on in the atyour respiration so that you can take a deeper and louger breath. It improves the countenance by scattering the gloom and brightening the forehead, and loosening the pinched look about the nostril and lip, and makes you somewhat like God himself. He is omnipotence, and we can not copy that, lie is independent of all the universe, and We can not copy that. He is creative, and we cun not copy that. He is omnipresent, and we can not copy that. But he forgives with a broad sweep all faults and all neglects and all insults and all wrongdoing, and in that we may copy him with mighty success. Go harness that sublime action of your soul to an hour when the gate of Heaven opens to let the day pass into eternities, and some of the glories escape this way through the brief opening. We talk about the Italian sunsets, and

sunset aninl the Apennines, and sunset amid the Cordilleras. But I will teH-you how you n>ay see a grander sunset than any mere lover of nature ever beheld; that is by flingiug into it all your hatreds and animosities, and let*the horses of Sre trample them, and the chariots of fire ailfl lfcr"'si)"art(fiBl of fijre stab them, and the beach of iitfe consume them., and the billows of fiie overwhelm them. The sublifhest thing God doss is the sunset. The sublimest'tbing you can do is forgiveness. Along the glowing banks of this eornipg evening let the divine and the human be concurrent. • Again: Wo should not; let the sun go: down on onr wrath, because It is of little ; importance what the world says of you or > does to you when yon have the affluent God of the sunset as your provider and ; defender. People talk as though it were a fixed spectacle of nature aad always the same But no one ever sa# two sunsets aiike; and if the world has existed six thousand years there have be«u about two million one bundled and’ ninety thousand sunsets, each of them as distinct from all the other pictures in tho gallery of the sky as TitiXifs “Last Supper,”Ru- . bens’ "Descant From tho Cross," Raphael's j “Transfiguration” and Michael Angelo's “Last Judgment” are' distinct front each other. If that God of such infinite resources that he can put on the wall of the sky each night more than the Xdguvre, and the Luxembourg, and the \SKcan, and tbe Dresden, and VenetiantflBeries, all in one, i* my God and your oHa, our a provider and protector, what is the use of ’ our worrying about any human antagon- ~ ism? If we are misinterpreted, the God ‘ of the many-colored sunset can put tip right color'on our aft ion. If He . can afford to hang. such masterpieces over the outsides*' wall of "'Heaven and have them obliterated in an hour, he must be very rich lit ^sources, and can put us through in safety. If all Mie garniture of the western heavens at eventide is but the upholstery of one of the windows of our future horaaf what small business for us to be chasing enemies l^fjet not, this Sabbath sun go down dp<m your wrath. . Mohammed said: ‘“The sword is the key-* of Heaven and hell; a drop of blood shed is better than fasting, and wounds In the Day of Judgment resplendent as verr.tiilion, and odoriferous as musk.” But, my hearers, in the last day we will find Just the opposite of that
