Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1891-03-07

II advice, without producing
orp~sion, the pastor thought
he would try what virtue there
mE in scripture, and quoted the
iu nrtlou: "If thine enemy hunger,
fe hju; if he thirst, give him
drluk; tor in SO doing thou shalt
hep Goals Of fire on his head" to
which the aggrieved brother listened
Without interest, until his pastor
came to the locals Of fire" when his
eye flashed, and he SmOte the table
with his fist, saying: "That's it; I'll
burn him!"
In this the unforgiving man spoke
openly what great many feel in
secret. We all admit that forgive
ness is a beautiful thing in theory
and still more beautiful in practice;
bat, after all, how hard it is really
to forgive. Consciously or uncOn>
sciously, we often wait to "get even,"
and then the thing is done easily and
heartily. Or we wait to do our of
Tending neighbOr good turn" UNI
til we carry out the "burning" idea
by an illustration of our own Chris
tian magnanimity and his meanness
in a way which he will remember.
Or we argue ourselves into the belief
that we are at liberty to wait until
the offender "comes down" and asks
forgiveness, which is readily granted,
simply because it is our triumph and
his humiliation. All these are COM
mon ways Of forgiving, but does any
one Of them fulfil the law of Christ?
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1891-03-07
A Great Choice.

OF all the life hinges that issue in
gain to character there is one that
stands out supreme in its moment.
One choice is the happiest of any. If
made in the morning hours it will
give the boom of a secret peace
through a long days strife, power in
weakness, and a serene gladness at
eventide. 1t is a decision for God.
The world and the things OF the
world magnetic the mind and insen-
sibly drag the life down from high
levels, unless a borrowed energy en-
tiers the spirit, But "seek first the
kingdom of Cod" and the needed
strength is found. A cOnsecrated life
is a rich life, whatever its nominal
surroundings. Fuller speaks Of one
who being blessed during many
years with much prosperity remark
ed: 81 enjoy God in all things"
And after a time he became very
poor: "Now," said he. 81 enjoy all
things in Cod"
And when eternity draws near, the
peace deepens, the gladness has 8
wonderfully sweet and incommuni-
cable note. Sir Philip Synder, who
had made this choice, was carried
from the field of Zutphen MORALLY
wounded. Said he, 81 would moi
change my joy for the empire of the
world" Ignatius, summoned to the
dreadful doom of death by wilC
beasts in the amphitheatre of Rome
could say, "Now, indeed, 1 begin tC
be a disciple; 1 weigh neither invis'
ible nor visible things in comparison
of an interest with Christ"
The life that has turned once anC
forever upon this hinge will be a life
directed to the best aims, and reach
ing continually onward and upward
to perfection of character. 1t will b.
a manly life. There is no heroisn
like Christian heroism, and will be {
protected and established life, found
ed on rock. \ wish, a purpose, ;
prayer, the stretching forth of tn,
hand of faith, and our last life-hing,

Retaining Confidence
ALEXANDER MACLARREN, y. d.

The writer Of the Epistle to the He
brews is Very urgent that the He
brew Christians should hold fast To-
the profession of their faith without
wavering-nOt casting away their
confidence. Confidence is "A word that
expresses the very essence and heart
Of the joyful standing that Christian
men and women have. A Christians
greatest blessing is, not only that he
may cherish loving, humble, and yet
unbounded confidence in regard to
God, but that he may make clean
breast of all that lies upon his heart
and speak out frankly his whole
wishes, thoughts, and purposes. He
also can maintain an untremulous
courage in the face of all external cir

looks very calmly on to the end OF
all, resting upon the righteousness
and the love Of God.
This confidence is the robe that
should not be thrown away, but
drawn tighter around, amid the con
slant, unnOticed attention and hostile
power of daily duties, present cares,
and visible things. Again, young
minds, unsettled minds, and unstable
minds, and minds that are much in
luenced by poplar literature and the
like, are only apt to say, "Oh, there
is much that is come to bequeStiOned,
that it seems there is nothing Ger,

a belief because so many people deny
it? There is nothing here below that
is not Gods; what will go will be the
hay and stubble which, in all
churches and in all creeds, rest not
upon the true foundation. Let not
your eyes be blinded to the truth
which shines through it all, the truth
Of the immortal power of the Christ
that died and lives. There is no way
Of keeping the freshness ofyour faith
and the courage of your confidence
except by frequent contemplation o
that great cross and Him that dice
