DR. SCHUYLER TALKS
ON LOVE TO HIS SUNDAY
MORNING AUDIENCE.
on the Subject,
Text: —Love suffereth long, and
kind; love envieth not:
not itself, is not puffed up, doth
behave itself unseemly,
own.—I Cor. 13:4, 5, R. V.
love in its relation to character,
taught in I Cor. 13. The first of the
series was preached on the previous
Sabbath,
mond was then acknowledged, and all |
advised to get and read his booklet en- |
titled “The Greatest Thing in the |
World.” It was also explained that |
by love is meant not that feeling of|
compassion which some have in mind
when they say God will not punish
even the impenitent sinner. Truelove |
is in harmony with the demand for]
strictest justice, and can be angry aud |
sin not.
In the sermon on the first three vers- |
es of the chapter it was shown that |
nothing will take the place of love in
building an enduring character, a
character that will meet with
approval; love is necessary to admis- |
sion to Heaven. In this sermon the |
theme is the kind of character that |
love produces.
1. Love makes ils possessor patient, |
“Love suffereth long.” Patience is in- |
dispensable to him who would live
happily and successfully. Men of |
many minds meet and jostle
another. Oar most cherished plans, |
plans even for the general good, are |
defeated or diminished in effectiveness |
by the opposition or indiffeerence of |
others. In a multitude of ways our
forbearance is tried, but it is better for |
all interests that we ‘bear all things, |
endure all things.” We must go to |
the home for the best examples of hu- |
man patience. For a mother to bear |
and bring to maturity the best child
requires an immense amount of pa-
tience, of toil and self denial; but when
the mature child proves ungrateful to |
the one who gave him life, adds to in- |
stead of taking from ber burdens, dis- |
graces her again and again, who
measure her disappointment, the bur-|
den of her soul? Hence when we see |
such an unhappy mother bearing it all
without a murmur, an unkind or re
proachful word, meeting all with only |
tender appeals and admonitions;
have an example of patienc: excelled |
only by God in his gracious forbear- |
ance with sinful man. We ask our- |
selves how can she be so patient ? The |
answer is, she loves him. “Love suf-|
fereth long.”
2. Love makes its possessor kind.
“Jove is kind.” Kind is, as a word,
from the same root as kin, kindred.
It reminds us of what Paul told the
polished Athenians, that God “hath
made of one blood all nations of men,"’
of Jesus’ teaching that God is our Fa-
ther. If God be man’s Father, then
all men are brethren and coustitute
one great family. Kindness is broth-
erliness. The most Christian earthly
institution is the family, We all
know well how children of the same
parents should treat one another. To
be kind is to treat all men in the same
way.
We may be unkind in many ways,
but the most insidious way is in the
use of the tongue. Tongue unkind-
ness is Lhe great temptation of our fall-
en humanity. In all men there is
both good and evil. Search the dens
of deepest iniquity the world over and
you will not find a man utterly desti-
tute of good. Now, two courses are
open tous. We may have a hawk's
eye for the evil that is in the men we
know and roll it as a sweet morsel un-
der the tongue to be exhibited on all
occasions—when the evil doer is not
present. That is unkind and indicates
a lack of love; and it does no good. No
man was ever regenerated by his
neighbors feasting on his evil deeds,
It often is our duty to tell our fellow
men of their sins; but it should be
done in private, in sympathetic ten-
derness; done as the loving mother re-
bukes her wayward child, in the spir-
it of Christ; that may do much good,
especially if it be followed by the sec-
ond course open to us, that is, by dili-
gentlypearching out the offender's good
d eds and commending them before
men. That is kind, that is the way of
love. That this course is not more nat-
ural to us is an evidence of our deprav-
ity, of the distance we have fallen from
the love in which man was created.
3. Again love makes its possessor
generous. ‘‘Love envieth not." We
are ever meeting people who have
what we would like to have. They
are doing the same work, but meet
with greater success, or they are prais
ed while we are unnoticed. Fortune
smiles on these and not on us, and
there seems to be no good reason for
her favoritism. It is not easy to feel

nothing that it condemns more un-

tion.” “Whosoever ex-
that bumbleth himself shall be exalt-
ed.” The speaker of these last words
himself gave us a transcended example
of lowliness and meekness. Our be-
loved martyred president Lincoln was
fond of repeating these lines:
“Oh why should the spirit of mortal be proud ?
Like a tast-flitting meteor, a fast-fiying cloud,
A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave,
He passes from life to his rest io the grave,”
We all honor him for taking this
view of life; and yet though God and
man commend humility, pride is ever
asserting itself. The most sacred call-
ing will not keep one from it. Pas-
tors, good men in other respects, are

So far we are taught that love pro-

courteous, unselfish character, a char-

our love, and we need more of ‘the
