RECIPROCITY IN FORBEARANCE.
Being Full of Faults, Man Should Have
Consideration for Others Faults.

"Bear We one anothers burdens"-as
applied to faults-was the theme OF MI.
Beecher's Sunday morning sermon. he
took his text from Galatians VI, IL.
Some of the thoughts uttered by Mr.
Beecher in the course of the sermon
were:
"The law of Christ is the law of uni
versal love, and that requires every man
to be interested in every man, and IN MS
difficulties to be in sympathy with him..
GA fault is anything inconsistent with
the rule of love or duty"
ssThere is no creature in Gods uni
verse that we know anything about that
is taxed like man-that has so many
rules and regulations that he Is bound
to observe"
"There is a certain sort of tough char-
ity among people IN the community that
have no particular spiritual sensloilltleS;
Pleasure and pain control their idea OF
morality. He that makes pleasure Is
good and he that makes pain is bad, no
matter what he is.
'Some faults are like dust on gar.
ments-a little brushing relieves us OF
| them"
'"Theeood Samaritan took the man
who had been robbed aud wounded to
an inn and gave the landlord two cents
to take care of him. Oh, that we might
have Oriental taverns But civilization
has advanced.
"To be a Christian is to carry out the
mind and spirit of Jesus Christ to all
those around about you, and just III pro-
portion as they have done wrong, gone
| wrong and are suffering.
"a father and mother that have quar-
relied often go on quarrellng III tneil
children and the child can't reconcile
Them
eve are apt to be tolerant OF faults
that iniure other folks, especially II we
don't like those folks, and we are apt tt
be severe on such as disturb us and our
interests"
"Faults in men that traverse ou1
plans arouse a great deal of conscience
in us. and we Judge them harshly gu
faults that leave us undlsturbed We
don't care much about. .e,
sA man will think, for instance, II III
doesn't say, There's Mapleson ana Ny'
having all sorts of trouble about thes'
mnsical people. But what do L carr
about their quarrel? They may, ca
each other up if they like. But II an.
. man interferes in my money matters
I'm thar.
"Meanness is the one unforg1vabi

this world than obsequiousness toWar'
