step at pacifcation IL 1t Is ever effected.
The contest between Esohines and Aris-
lupus resounds through history, but
Aristippus, who was least to blame, went
to Nschines and said, "Shall we not
agree to be friends before we make our
selves the laughing stock Of the whole
countryT And Eschines said, "Thou
art far better man than l, for began
the quarrel, but thou hast been the first
in healing the breach" and they were al
ways friends afterward. SO let the one
Of you that is least to blame take the
first step toward reconciliation. The one
most in the wrong will never take it.
Oh, 1t makes one feel splendid to be
able by Gods help to practice unlimited
forgiveness 1t improves ones body and
soul. My brother, it will make you meas
ure three or four more inches around the
chest and improve your respiration SO
that you can take deeper and longer
breath. 1t improves the countenance by
scattering the gloom and makes you
somewhat like God himself. He Is ON
nipotent, and we cannot copy that. He
is independent of all the universe, and
we cannot copy that He Is creative, and
we cannot copy that. He is omniprescnt,
and we cannot copy that. But he forgives
with broad sweep all faults, and all
neglects, and all insults, and all wrong
doings, and in that we may copy him
with mighty success. Go harness that
sublime action of your soul to the sun
settle hour when the gate of heaven
opens to let the day pass into the eterni
ties, and some of the glories escape this
way through the brief opening. We talk
about the Italian sunsets ami sunset amid
the Apennines and sunset amid the cor
dilleras, but will tell you how you may
see a grander sunset than any mere lover
of nature ever beheld; that is, by fling
ing into it all your hatreds and animosi-
ties, and let the horses Of fire trample
them, and the chariots of fire roll over
them. and the spearmen of fire stab them,
and the beach of fire consume them, and
the pillows of FIRE overwhelm them.
Again, we should not let the sun go
down on our wrath, because 1t Is Of little
Importance what the world says of you
or does to you when you have the afilu-
ent God Of the sunset as your provider and
defender. People talk as though 1t were
a fixed spectacle Of nature and always
the same. But no one ever saw two sun
sets alike, and IL the world has existed
5000 years there have been about $780,
900 sunsets, each of them as distinct
from all the other pictures in the gallery
Of the sky as Titian's last Supper"
Rubcns descent From the Cross"
Raphaers TRANSPORTATION" and Michael
Angeles Last Judgment are distinct
from each other IL that God of such in
finite resources that he can put on the
wall of the sky each evening more than
the Louvre and Luxembourg galleries all
In one is my God and your God, our
provider and protector, what is the use
Of our worrying about any human antag-
onism? II we are misinterpreted. the
God of the many colored sunset can put
the right color on our action. II all the
,arniture Of the western heavens at even
ide is but the upholstery of one Of the
windows of our future home, what small
business for Ms to be chasing enemies!
Let not this Sabbath sun go down upon
FOUR wrath.
The Key to Immortality.
Mohammed said 1.-THE sword is the key
If heaven and hell" But, my hearers, in
The last day we will md just the oppo-
site of that tn be true, and that the sword
never unlocks heaven, and that he who
,eals wounds is greater than he who
makes them. and that on the same ring
