WASHINGTON. D. C.-In this sermon,
which DR.. Talmage sends from Paris he
analvzes the character of the Saviour, and
urges all Christians to exercise the quail
ties which were conspicuous in Christ's
earthly life. The text is Romans viii, 8:
'"Now. if apy man has not the spirit of
Christ he is none of His"
There is nothing more desirable than a
pleasant disposition. Without it we can
not be happy ourselves or make others
happy. When we have lost our temper
or become impatient under some light
cross we suddenly awaken to new appre-
citation of proper eoulpoise of nature. We
wish we had been born with self balance,
we envy those people who bear themselves
through life without any perturbation. and
we fatter ourselves that, however little
self control we may now have, the time
will come. under the process of years,
when we Will be mellowed and softened,
and the wrong things which are IN us now
will then be all right, forgetful of the fact
that an evil habit in our nature will grow
into larger proportions. and that an mi
uuity not corrected will become the grand
father of a whole generation of iniquties.
So that people without the grace of God
in the struggle and amid the annoyances
and exasperations of life are apt to be-
come
Now. the trouble is that we have n the.
orv abroad IN the world that a mans dis
position cannot be changed. A man says.
fI am Irascible in temper. and | can't
helm it," Another man saws. ri am re-
yenrefuI naturally, and can't help 1t >
A man saws. ~ am impulsive, and [ can't
helm it," And he tells the truth. No man
can correct his disposition never knew
n man by force of resolution to change
his treatment but bv His grace God
can take away that which is wrong and
put in that which is right. and know
and vou know neonle who. since their can-
version are lust the opposite of what they
used TO he Tn other words we may. bv
