A Good Halter.

That is a first-rate form Of expressi IN
q very happy term. Hate is as much
virtue as love; and love is as much vice
as hate. To love is a vice. when you love
evil. And to hate is a virtue when You
hate evil. Or. Arnold knew boys He
used 10 say that he never felt sure OF boy
who loved only good; II was not until the
hoy began 10 hate evil that he knew him
TO be safe: this was a guarantee that his
love of goodness had a tap root. Here
is a person with great capacity OF love.
He loves everybody. He is bubbling over
with lOve-a genial, amtable. gushing
demonstrative person. Such a man is al
ways a great favorite. Nine persons out
Of ten like him. Yet such love is undls-
eliminating; and it is as likely TO embrace
the unlovely as the lovely the evil as the
good What is such love worth? Is that
a virtue? A love that makes no difference
betw cen good and bad? Such man hates
nothing. His love is a vice, not a virtue
Old Samuel Johnson. was II not. who said,
Give me a god hater? He was right. Men
who can't hate are never strong charac-
ters. Some persons seem 10 prefer a
God who does not hate-who is all love
q mere good natured God-too tender
hearted to look upon suffering even. But
the God whom Jesus Christ revealed Is a
good hater. He hates sin. Thou hast
loved righteousness AMI hated ini1uity.
HIS love of sinners and his hatred of their
sins are just the measure OF one another.
And IL he did not hate sin we could have
no security in trusting In his love. 1t Is the
wrath Of God against sin and evil that
enables us to rest TN His love. If mans
conscience does not give inward testimony

hatred against sin, that man may be at
ease but he can never know 1.-THE rap are
