til's sermon,
n inch ur. Talmage sends from Paris, he
n.na.vzes the character of the Saviour, and
nrgcs Ml (.nnstians to exercise the quali
ties which were conspicuous i n Christ’s
earthiy life. The text is Romans viii, 9:
Now. if any 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 bo hanpy ours,"lves or make others
iiapny. \\ hen we have lost our temper
or become impatient under some light
cross, we suddenly awaken to new appre
ciation of proner equipoise of nature. We
wisli we had been born with self balance,
we envy those people who bear themselves
throueh lire without any perturbation, and
wc flatter ourselves that, however little
oomrol we may now have, the time
come, under the process of years,
n hen we will he mellowed and softened,
wrong things which are in us now
will then he all right, forgetful, of the fact
yna. an evil habit in our nature will grow
into larger proportions, and that an ini
ouity not corrected will become the grnnd
iuther of a whole generation of iniquities,
bo that people without the grace of God
in the struggle and amid the annoyances
■mid exasperations of life are apt to be
conye worse instead of better.
07. the trouble is that we have a the
ory, abroad in the world that a man’s dis
position cannot be changed. A man says,
1 airl " temper, and I can’t
help it ” Another man says. “I am re
vengeful naturally, and I can’t help it ”
A man says, “T am impulsive, and I can’t
nem it. And he tells the truth. No man
can correct his disposition. I never knew
a, man by force of resolution to change
1113 treatment, but bv His grace God
can tmee away that which is wrong and
put in that which is right, and I know
and vou know people who. since their con
version. are just the opposite of what they
used to be Tn other words, we may, by
the spirit of God, have the disposition of
Jesus Christ implanted in our disposition,
and we must have it done or we will never
eye heaven. “If any man have not the
disposition ef Jesus Christ, he is none of
His.”
In the first place, the spirit of Christ
was a spirit of gentleness. Sometimes He
made wrathful utterance against Phari
sees and hypocrites, but the most of His
words were _ kind and gentle and loving
and inoffensive and attractive. When we
consider the fact that He was omnipo
tent. and could have torn to pieces Jlis
assailants, the wonder is greater. We of
ten hear the persecution and abuse of the
world because we cannot help it. Christ
endured it when He could have helped it.
J/ittle children who alwnvs shy off at a
lough man rushed into His presence and
clambered on Him until the people
begged the mothers to take them away.
Invalids so sore with wounds that they
could not bear to have any one come near
them begged Christ just to pul His hand
upon the wound and soothe it. The
mother with the sickest child was willing
to put the little one in Christ’s arms,
belf-rightec is people rushed into His
presence with a woman of debased char
acter and said. “Now, annihilate her, blast
her, kill her.” Jesus looked at her and
saw she was sorry and repentant, and He
looked at them, and He saw they were
pronl and arrogant and malignant, and He
said, “Let him that is without sin cast the
first stone at her.” A blind man sat by
"the wavside making a great ado about his
lack of vision. They told him to hush
up and not bother the Master. Christ
stooped to him and said. “What wilt thou
that I do unto thee?” Gentleness of voice,
gentleness of manner, gentleness of life.
We all admire it whether we have any
pf it or not. Just as the rough mountain
bluff and the scarred crag love to look
down into the calm lake at their feet and
as the stormiest winter loves to merge
into the sunshiny spring, so the most pre
cipitate and impulsive and irascible nature
loves to think of the gentleness of Christ.
How little we have of it! How little pa
tience in treating with enemies! We
have so little of the gentleness of Christ
we are not fit for Christian work half the
time. We do not know how to comfort
tbs gfeereft or to encourage the disheart-
to take care of the poor. Even
our voice of sympathy i3 on the wrong
pitch.
My sister had her arm put out of joint,
and we were in the country, and the
neighbors came in, and they were all sym
pathetic. and they laid hold of the arm
and pulled and pulled mightily until the
anguish was intolerable, but the arm did
not go to its place Then the old country
doctor was sent for, and he came in. and
with one touch it was all right. He knew
just where to put his finger and just how
to touch the bone. We go out to our
Christian work with too rough a hand
and too unsympathetic a manner, and we
fail in our work, while some Christian,
' in the gentleness of Christ, comes along,
jmt his hand of sympathy on the sore
spot, and the tom ligaments are healed,
and the disturbed bones are rejoined. Oh,
for this.gentleness of Christ!
The dew of one summer night will ac
complish more good than fifty Caribbean
wftirhvinds. How important it is that in
going forth to serve Christ we have some
thing of His gentleness! Is that the way
eve bear ourselves when we are assaulted?
The rule is an eye for an eye, a tooth for
a tooth, retort for retort, sarcasm for sar
casm. Give him as much as he sends!
After awhile you look up into the face of
Christ, and you see Ilis gentleness, and
you say, “Well, now, I must do different
ly.” Then your proud heart says: “Now
you have your enemy in a corner. You
will never get him in a corner again. Chas
tise him and then let him go.” So we
postpone the gentleness of Christ.
Did you ever know any difficulty to be
healed by acerbity or hypercriticism?
About forty-five years ago the Presbyte
rian Church was split into the new school
and the old school. The chffsm got wider
and wider. The most outrageous person
alities were indulged in. Good men on
one side anathematized good men on the
other side. Wider and wider the chasm
got until after awhile some good people
tried another tack, and they began to ex
plain away the difficulties, and soon all
the differences were healed, and at Pitts
burg they shook hands and are one now
to be one forever.
You say to a man with whom you had
a falling out, “I despise you.” He says,
“I can’t bear the sight of you.” You say
to him, “I never want you to come to my
house again.” He says, “If you come to
my house again, I’ll kick you out.” You
say, “I'll put you down.” “Oh, no,” he
says, ‘l’ll put you down” But some,day
• the spirit of Christ comes' into you and
>pu go over and say: “My brother, give
1 hand; time is short and eternity
and we can’t afford to quarrel,
f bygones be bygones and let us act
iristians.” It is all settled. How?
gentleness of Christ,
you ever know a drunkard re
i by mimicry of his staggering steps,
ick tongue or his hiccough? No.
ilv madden his brain. But you go
and let him know you appreciate
n awful struggle he has with the
bit and you let him know that you
ieen acquainted with people who
lown in the same depths who, by
ice of Cod, have been rescued. He
rour voice, he responds to that sym-
pathy. and he is saved. You saitnot scold
tlio world into anything better. The
stormiest wind comes from its hiding
place and says, “I will arouse this sea.”
and it blows upon the sea. Half of the
sea is aroused or a fourth of the sea is
aroused, yet not the entire Atlantic. But
after awldle the moon comes out calm and
placid. It shines upon the sea. and the
ocean begins to lift. It embraces all the
highlands, the beach is all covered. The
heart throb of one world heatiin- against
the heart throb of another world. The
storm could not, rouse the whole Atlantic;
the moon lifted it. “And I,” said Christ,
“if I be lifted up will draw all men unto
Me.”
Christ’s disposition was also one of self
sacrifice. No young man ever started out
with so bright a prospect as Christ started
out with if ITe had been willing to follow
a worldly ambition.
In the time that He gave to the sick He
might have gathered the vastest fortune
of His time. With His power to popular
ize Himself and magnetize the people He
cqnld have gained any official position.
No orator ever won such plaudits as He
might have won from sanhedrin and svn
ngogue and vast audiences by the seaside;
no physician ever got such a renutation
for healing power as He might have ob
tained if He had performed Ilis wonder
ful cures before the Roman aristocracy.
I say these things to let vou know what
Raul meant when he said, “He pleased pot
Himself.” and to show something of the
wonders of His self sacrifice. All human
power together could not have thrown
Christ into the manger if He had not
ehosep to go there; all satanie strength
could not, have lifted Christ noon the
cross if He had not elected Himself to the
torture.
To save our race from sin and death
and hell He faced all the sorrows of this
world and the sorrows of eternity. How
much of that self sacrifice have we?
What is self sacrifice? It is mv walk
ing a long journev to save you from fa
tigue: it is my lifting a great number of
Bounds to save vou'from the awful strain;
it is a subtraction from my comfort and
prosperity so that there may be an addi
tion to your comfort and prosperity. How
much of that have we? Might not I
rather sa v. “How little have we?”
Two childreo. brother and sister, were
passing down the road. They were both
very destitute. Th lad had hardly any
garments at all. His sister had a coat
that she had outgrown. It was a very
cold day film said. “Johnnie, come un
der this coat.” “Oh.” he said, “no; the
coat isn’t large <--ouMi.” “Oh,” she said,
“it will stretch.” He comes under the
coat, but the coat would not stretch. So
she took off the coat and put it on him.
Self sacrifice, pure and simple. Christ
taking off His robe to clothe our nakedness.
Self sacrifice! I have not any of it, nor
have you. compared with that. The sac
rifice of the jSon of Cod.
Christ walked to Emmaus: Christ
walked from Capernaum to Bethany;
Christ walked from Jerusalem to Gol
gotha. How far have you and I walked
for Christ? His head ached; His heart
ached: His back ached. How much have
wo ached for Christ?
ITow much of that humility have we?
If we get a few more dollars than other
people or gain a little higher position, 011,
how we strut! We go around wanting
everybody to know their place and say,
“Is not this great Babylon that I have
built for the honor of my kingdom and by
the might of my strength?” Who has
anything of the humility of Christ?
The disposition of Christ was also the
spirit of prayer. Prayer on the mount
ains, prayer on the sea, prayer among the
sick —prayer everywhere. Prayer for lit
tle children. “Father, I thank Thee that
Thou hast hidden these things from the
wise and prudent and revealed them unto
babes.” Prayer for Ilis friends. “Father,
I will that they be with Ale where I am.”
Prayer for Ilis enemies, “Father, forgive
them; they know not what they do.”
Prayer for all nations, “Thy kingdom
come.”
How little of that spirit you and I have!
How soon our knees get tired l Where is
the vial full of odors which are the pray
ers of all the saints! Which of us can
keep our mind ten minutes on a prayer
without wandering? Not you; not 1. Oh,
that wo might have the spirit of prayer
which was tne spirit of Christ!
We want more prayer in The family,
more prayer in the church, more prayer
in the legislative hall, more prayer among
the sick, more prayer among the aged,
more prayer among the young. The great
advancement of the church is to be in that
direction yet.
• The spirit of Christ, I remark lastly,
was a spirit of hard work. Not one lazy
moment in all His life. Whether He was
talking to the fishermen on the beach,
or preaching to the sailors on the dock,
or administering to the rustics amid the
mountains, or spending an evening in
Bethanv, always busy for others. With
hands, heart, head, busy for others—hew
ing in the Nazareth carpenter shop, teach
ing the lame how to walk without crutch
es, curing the child’s fits, providing ra
tions for the hungry host. Busy, busy,
busy! The hardy men who pulled the
net out of the sea filled with floundering
treasures, the shepherds who hunted up
grassy plots for their flocks to nibble at,
the shipwrights pounding away in the
dockyards, the winemakers of Engcdi dip
ping too juices from- die vat and pouring
them into the goatskins, were not more
busy than Christ. Busy, busy for others!
From the moment He went out of the car
avansary of Bethlehsm to the moment
when the cros3 plunged into the socket on
the bloody mount busy for others. Does
that remind you of yourself? It does
not remind me of myself. If we lift a bur
den it must be light; if we do work, it
must bo popular; if we sit in Uie pew, it
must be safe; if we move in a sphere of
usefulness, it must be brilliant; if we have
to take hold of a load, give us the light
end of the log. In this way to heaven fan
us, rock us, sing us to sleep. Lift us up
toward heaven on the tips of your fingers
under a silken sunshade. Stand out of
the way, all you martyrs who breasted
the fire; stand out of the way and let
this colony of tender footed modern Chris
tians come up and get their crowns!
What has your Lord done to you, O
Christian, that you should betray him?
Who gave you so much riches that you can
afford to despise the awards of the faith
ful? At this moment, when all the armies
ot ncaven and earth and hell are plunging
into the conflict; how can you desert the
standard? Oh, backslidden Christian. 13
it not time for you to start anew for Cod
and anew for heaven?
Now, I have shown you that the dispo
sition of Christ was a spirit of gentleness,
a spirit of self sacrifice, a spirit of humil
ity, a spirit of prayer, a spirit of hard
work—five points. Will you remember
them? Are you ready now for the tre
mendous announcement of the text, “If
any man has not the spirit of Christ, he
is none of His?” Arc you ready for that
statement? Can we stand up and say,
“Yes; we have the spirit of Christ!' 1 Not
one of us can make that answer to tne full
question, yet I am to declare to you there
is no discouragement in this subject for
Christian people. You have the seeds of
this character planted in your soul. “It
doth not yet appear what we shall be.”
You might as well blame an acorn for
not being an oak of a thousand years as
to blame yourself because you are not
equal to Christ. You have the implanta
tion within you which will enlarge and
develop into tfie grandest Christian char
acter. and there is no discouragement in
this text for you to try to love and serve
the Lord. Aim high. Sheathe not your
sword until you have gained the last vic
tory. Climb higher and higher until you
reach the celestial hills. Crowns bright
and radiant for all the victors, but death
to every deserter.
Some Handsome Dresses.
Cherry-colored foulard, spotted or
“snowed” with white, is a fashionable
material In Paris. A handsome gown
of this fabric has a rounded empiece
meut forming a double collar of white
silk piped with black, the Idea being
repeated at the hem of the skirt and
bordering an insertion or cluny lace.
With this toilet is a long dust cloak
with a striug colored lace hood.
Another pretty gown was In cre
vette pink foulard trimmed with In
sertions of guipure aud having that
slight touch of black which Paris
dressmakers wisely consider necessary
to the gown of light coloring.
Hats on the Bois are crowded with
flowers, aud many of them are tied be
neath the chin with narrow black vel
vet strings. Some of the fancy col
ored straw hats are absolutely guilt
less of trimming. These are made in
a combination of shaded straws,
which in front take the form of a big
bow. Other fashionable hats are of
crumpled “crin” trimmed with full
blown pink roses.
Keep Nothing But Good Stock.
Evary farmer should be well sup
plied with live stock. No farmer can
afford to farm without the Income
that the stock affords. As he must
keep the stock he might as well maka
them a success, and in order for them
to be a success, he must not keep any
more stock than lie can shelter, at
tend to, and feed properly. He must
also raise only the best, for there Is
more money in a thoroughbred animal
than In a scrub, and they both eat
as much as another and cost as much
to keep.

Woman as Baby Photographers.
Modern photography is making it
possible for the coming men and wom
en, who are being pictured awake and
asleep, laughing and crying, In the
hath and at play, to see themselves in
their childhood as other saw them.
Many mothers now keep an album
devoted especially to each child, an'd
where formerly once a year, or twice
at the most, was regarded sufficiently
frequent to picture the youngsters, the
daily life from the earliest infancy to
college days is now faithfully record
ed. Many women are taking advant
age of this fad, and are carrying on a
thriving business as baby photograph
ers, and the multitudes and eagerness
of relatives and friends for baby’s
picture with papa, with mamma, with
the nurse and alone secure to them no
end of patronage.

arc packed away jn your insides and must be kept clean,
in order and doing business.
It’s a lony way, with many turns and pitfalls to catch
the refuse and clog; the channel if not most carefully
cleaned out every day.
When this long canal is blockaded, look out for
trouble —furred tongue, bad breath, belching of gates,
yellow spots, pimples and boils, headaches, spitting up of
food after eating—an all-around disgusting nuisance.
Violent pill poisons or griping suits are danger
ous to use for cleaning out the boivets. They
force out the obstruction by causing •violent
spasms of the bowels, but they leave the in
testines weak and even less able to keep up
regular movements than before, and make a
larger dose necessary next time.
Then you have the pill habit, which kills more people
than the morphine and whiskey habits combined.
The only safe, gentle but certain bowel cleansers are
sweet, fragrant CASCARETS, because they don’t force
out the foecal matter with violence, but act as a tonic on
the whole 30 feet of bowel wall, strengthen the muscles
and restore healthy, natural action. Buy and try them!
(Look out for imitations and substitutes or you can’t get
results, Cascarets are never sold in bulk: Look for the
trade-mark, the long-tailed “C” on the box.) You will
find that in an entirely natural way your bowels will be
promptly and permanently
