[Cog#right 1900.)
Wasnrxaron, D. C.—In
which Dr. Talmage sends from Paris,
analyzes the character of the Saviour, and
urges all Christians to exercise the quali
ties which were conspicuous in Christ's
earthly life. The text is Romans viii, 0
“Now, if any man has not the spirit of
Christ he is none of His.”
‘here is nothing more desirable than a
pleasant disposition. Without it we ean
not be hanpy ourselves make

we envy those neonle who bear themselves
through life without anv perturbation. and
we flatter ourselves that, however little
self control we mav now have, the time
will come, under the process of years,
when we will he mellowed and softened,
and the wrong thines which are in ns now

So that people withont the grace of God
in the struggle and amid the annovances
and exasperations of life are apt to be-
come worse instead of better.
Now, the trouble is that we have a the-
ory abroad in the world that a man’s dis-
position cannot be changed. A man savs,
“I am irascible in temper, and I can't
help it.” Another man says, “I am re
vengeful naturally, and I can’t help it”
A man says, “I am impulsive, and I can't
hein it.” And he tells the trmath. No man
can correct his disposition. I never knew
a man bv force of resolution to change
his treatment, hut bv His grace God
can take away that which is wrong and
put in that which is right. and I know
and ven know people who, since their con
version, are just the opposite of what
used to be. In other words

After awhile you look up into the face of
Christ, and you see Hin gentleness, and
io gay, “Well, now, I must do different

you have your enemy in 8 corner. You
will never get him in a corner again. Chas-

postpone the gentieness of Christ
Did you ever know any difficulty to be
Sealed by scerbity or hypereriticiam?
About forty-five years ago A Presby te
san Church was split into the new school
snd the old school. The chasm got wider
snd wider. The most outrageous person-
sities were indulged in. Good men on
ene side anathematized good men on the
other side. Wider and wider the chasm
got until alter awhile some good people
tried another tack, and they began to ex:
plain away the difficulties, and soon all
the differences were healed, and at Pitts
burg they shook hands and are one now
to be one forever.
You say to a man with ~hom you had
a falling out, “I despise you.” He says,
“1 ean’t bear the sight of “ou.” You say
to him, “1 never want you ‘o come to my
house again.’ He says, ' Jf you come to
my honee again, I'll kick you out,” You
say, “I'll put you down.” “Oh, no,” he
says, “I'll put you down.” But some day
the spirit of Christ comes into you and
you go over and say: ‘My brother, give
me your hand; time is short and eSuruity
% near, and we can’t afford to quarre
ow let bygones be bygones and let us act
