3 “FORGIVENESS.” jftev. Dr. Talmage’s Sermon Last Sunday Morning AT THE BROOKLYN TABERNACLE. Brooklyn, October 23.—[Special.]—The Dor. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., preached in She Brooklyn tabernacle this morning on the Subject: “Forgiveness Before Sundown.” .liter explaining some passages concerning Hezekiah, Dr. Talmage gave out the following try inn, which was sung by the congregation: “This glorious hope revives Our courage by tlie way, While each in ex; ectation lives And longs to see the day.” Profesor Henry Eyre Browne rendered on the organ an aria with variations, by Cramer, trhe text o£ the sermon was from Ephesus 4:26 e—“ Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Dr. Talmage said: What a pillow embroidered of all colors hath the dying day I This cradle of clouds from ■Which the sun rises is beautiful enough, but it Is surpassed by the many-colored mausoleum in Which at evening it is buried. Sunset among the mountain I It almost takes one's breath away to recall the scene. The long shadows Stretching over the plain make the glory of the departing light, on the tip-top crags and struck Sslant through the foliage, the more transpicu ous. Saffron and gold, purple and crimson commingled, All the castles of cloud in con flagration. Burning Moscows in the sky. Hanging gardens of roses at their deepest blush. Banners of vapor, red as if from carn age, in the battle of the elements. The hunter among the Adirondack.,land the Swiss villager among the Alps know what is a sunset among ihe mountains. After a storm at sea the rolling grandeur into which the sun goes down to bathe at nightfall is something to make weird and splendid dreams out of for a lifetime. Alexander Smith in his poem com pares the sunset to “the barren beach of hell;” .put this wonderful spectacle of nature makes toe think of the burnished wall of heaven. Paul in prison writing my text remembers •Some of the gorgeous sunsets among the mount ains of Asia Minor, and how he had often seen •the towers of Damascus blaze in the close of the Oriental days, and he flashes out that memory in the text when he says: “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Sublime and all suggestive duty for people then and people now. Forgiveness before sun down. He who never feels the throb of indig nation is imbecile. He who can walk among the injustices of the world, inflicted upon him self and others, without flush of cheek, or flash Os eye, or agitation of nature, is either in sym pathy with wrong or semi-idiotic. When Ananias, the high priest, ordered the con stables of the courtroom to smite Paul in the mouth, Paul fired up and said: “God shall Smite thee, thou whited wall.” In the sen lenco immediately before my text Paul com mands the Ephesians: “Be ye angry and sin aot,” It all depends on what you are mad at and how long the feeling lasts whether anger is right or wrong. Life is full of Saul after David. Succoth after Gideon, Korah after Moses, the Pasquins after Augustus, the Pharisees after Christ, And everyone has had his pursuers, and we arc swindled, or belied, or misrepresented, or persecuted, or in some way wronged, and the flanger is that healthful indignation shall be come baleful suite, and that our feelings settle flown into a prolonged outpouring of temper tflispleasing to God and ruinous to ourselves, and hence the important injunction of the text, “Let not the sun go down upon your Avrath.” Why that limitation to one’s anger? Why ■that period of flaming vapor set to punctuate a flaming disposition? What lias the sunset got to do with one’s resentful emotions? Was it a haphazard sentiment written bv Paul without special significance? No, no; I think of five reasons why we should not let the sun set be fore our temper sets. toFirst; Because twelve hours is long enough be cross about any wrong inflicted upon us. is so exhausting to physical health or {mental taeulty as a protracted indulgence of dll-humor. It racks the nervous system, it [hurts the indigestion, it heats the blood in [brain and heart until the whole body is first ■overheated and then depressed. Besides that, lit sours the disposition, turns one aside from ibis legitimate work, expends energies that jouglit to bo better employed and does us more [barm than it does our antagonist. Paul gives Itis a good, wide allowance of time for legiti ilnate denunciation, from six o’clock to six (o’clock, but says: “Stop there!” Watch the 'descending orb of day, and When it reaches (the horizon take a reef in your disposition. ICjnloose your collar and cool off. •ehauge the subject to something delightfully 'pleasant. Unroll your tight fist and shake hands with some one. Bank up the fires at the curfew bell. Drive the howling dog of enmity back to its kennel. The hours of the morning will pass by, and the afternoon will arrive, and the sun will begin to sot, and I beg you on its blazing hearth throw all your feuds, invectives and satires. Other things being equal, the man who pre serves good temper will come out ahead. An old essayist says that the celebrated Jolm Hen derson of Bristol, England, was at a dining party where political excitement ran high and •the debate got angry, and while Henderson ■was speaking, his opponent, unable to answer his argument, dashed a glass of wine iu his fa e, when the speaker deliberately wiped the liquidfrom his face and said: “This, sir, is a di gression ; now, if you please, for the main argu ment.” While worldly philosophy could help but very few to such equipoise of spirits, the (grace of God could help any man to such a [triumph. “Impossible,” you say, “I would ?have cither left, the table in anger or have knocked the man down.” But I have come to believe that nothing is impossible if God help, since what I saw at Beth-Shan faith cure in London. England, two summersago, While the religious service was going on, Rev. Dr. Boardman, glorious man! since gone to his [heavenly rest, was telling the scores of sicK nedplc present that Christ was there as of old io heal all diseases, and that, if they would only believe, their sickness would depart. I saw- a woman near me, with hand and arm twisted of rheumatssin, and her wrist was fiery of inflammation, and it looked like those Cases of chronic rheumatism which we have all Seen and sympathized with, cases beyond ail human healing. At the preacher’s reiteration of the words: “Will you believe? Do you believe? Do you believe now?” I heard this poor sick woman say, with an emphasis which Soundedjthrorgh the building: “1 do believe.” And then she laid her twisted arm and hand out as straight as your arm and hand, or mine. If 1 had seen one rise from the flead I would not have been much more thrilled. Since then 1 believe that God •will do anything in answer to our prayer and fn answer to our faith, and he can heal our bodies, and if our soul is all twisted and mi— ahapen of revenge or hate and inflamed with ■einful proclivity, he can straighten that, also, and make it well and clean. Aye, you will not postpone till sundown the forgive ness of enemies if you can realize that their behavior toward you may l»e put into the cata logue of the “all things” that “work together lor good to those tbatqlpve God.” I have had multitudes of friends, but I have Mound in my own experience, that God so arranged it that the greatest Opportunities of usefulness that have been opened before were opened by enemies. And when, years ago, they conspired against me, that <>i>ened all Christendom to me as a field In which to preach the gospel. So you may harness your antagonists to your best interests and compel them to draw you on to better •work and higher character. Suppose, instead of waiting until six minutes past live o’clock this evening, when the sun will set, you trans act this glorious work of forgiveness before meridian. Again, we ought not to let the sun go down ©n our wrath, because we will sleep better if ■we are at peace with everybody. insomnia is getting to be one of the most prevalent of dis orders. How few people retire at ten o'clock at night and sleep clear through to.-ixin the Dion.ing. To relieve thi&disoiderall narcotics and sedatives, and chloral, and bromide of potassium, and cocaine and into-.: ants are but nothing is more important then a ■quiet spirit if we would win somnolence. How ft a man going to sleep when he is in mind pursuing an enemy? with what nervous twitch ie v ill start out of a drAun! 1 hot new plan Tor cornering his foe will keep him Vide awake while the clock strikes eleven, twelve, one, two, three, four. I give ♦ou an unfailing prescription for wakefulness: fc i » <bkA awanine hmiM »ol»ociweil»<r VAtl» wrongs and tho best way of avenging them. Hohl a convention of friends on this subject in your parlor, or office, at eight and nine o clock. Close the evening by writing a bitter letter expressing your sent inn nts. Take from the d< k or pigeon hole the papers iu the case to refresh your mind with your evening's meanness. Then lie down and wait for tiro coming of the day, and it will come before sleep comes, or your sleep will be a worried quiescence and, if you take the precaution to lie flat on your back, a frightful night-mare. Why not put a bound to your animosity? V hy'ot your foes come into tho sanctities of your dormitory ? Why let those slanderers who have already torn your reputation to piece:-, or injured your business, bend over your midnight pillow and drive from you one of tho greatest blessings.that God can offer—sweet, refreshing, all invigorating sleep. Why not fence out your enemies by the golden bars of the sunset? Why not stand behind the barri cade of evening cloud and say to them : “Thus far and no farther.” Many a man and many a woman is having the health of body as well as the health of soul eaten away by a malevolent spirit. I have in time of religious awakening had per sons, night after night, come into the inquiry room and get no peace of soul. After a while I have bluntly asked her: “Is there not some one against whom yon have a hatred that you are not willing to give up?” After a little confusion she lias slightly whispered: “Yes.” Then I said to her: “You will never find peace with God as long as you retain that virulence.” A boy in Sparta having stole a fox kept him under iris coat, and though the fox was gnaw ing his vitals, he submitted to it rather than expose his misdeed. Many a man with a smil ing face has under his jacket an animosity that is gnawing away the strength of his body and the integrity of his soul. Better get rid of that hidden fox as soon as possible. There are hun dreds of domestic circles where that which most is needed is the spirit of forgiveness. Brothers apart, and sisters apart, and parents and children apart. Solomon says a brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city. Are there not enough sacred memories of your childhood to bring you together ? The rabbins recount how that Nebuchadnezzar’s son had such a spite against his father that after he was dead ho had his father burned to ashes and then put tho ashes into four sacks and tied them to four eagle’s neck which flew away in opposite directions. And there arc now domestic antipathies that seem forever to have scattered all parental memories to the four winds of heaven. How far the eagles fly with that sacred ashes! The hour cf sundown makes to that family no practical suggestion. Thomas Carlyse, in his biography of Frederic the Great, says the old king was told by tho confessor he must be at peace with his enemies if he wanted to enter heaven. Then he said to his wife, tho queen: “Write to your brother after I am dead that I forgive him.” Roloff, the confessor, said: “Her Majesty had better write him imme diately.” “No,” said the king, “after lam dead; that will be safer.” So ho let the sun of his earthly existence go down upon his wrath. Again: Wo ought not to allow the sun sot before forgiveness takes place, because we might not live to see another day. And what if we should be ushered into the presence of our Maker with a grudge upon our soul? Tho majority of the people depart this life in tho night. Between eleven o’clock p. m. and three o’clock a. m. there is something in the atmosphere which relaxes the grip which the body has on the soul, and most of people enter the next world through tho shad ows of this world. Perhaps God may have arranged it in this way so as so make the contrast the more glorious. I have seen sunshiny days in this world that must have been almost like the radiance of heaven. But as most people leave tho earth between sun down and sunrise, they quit this world at its darkest, and heaven, always bright, will be tho brighter for that contrast. Out of black ness into irradiation. Shall wo then leap over the roseate bank of sunset into tho favorite hunting-ground of disease and death, carrying our animosities with us? Who would want to confront his God, against whom we have all done meaner things than anybody has ever done against us, carrying old grudges? How can we expect His forgiveness for the greater when wo are not willing to forgive others tho less? Napo leon was encouraged to undertake the crossing of the Alps because Charlemagne had pre viously crossed them. And all this rugged path of forgiveness bears the bleeding foot steps of Him who conquered through suffer ing, and we ought to be willing to follow. On the night of our departure from this life into the next, our one plea wall have to be for mer cy, and it will have to bo offered in the pres ence of Him who has said: “If you forgive not men their trespasses neither will your heavenly Father forgive your trespasses.” What a sorry plight if we stand there hating this one, and hating that one, and wishing this one a damage, and wishing some one e.se a calamity, and we ourselves needing forgiveness for ten thousand times ten thou sand obliquities of heart and life. When our last hour comes, wo want it to find us all right. Hardly anything affects me so much in the un covering of ancient Pompeii as the account of the soldier who, after the city had for many centuries been covered with the ashes and sco riae of Vesuvius, was found standing in his place on guard, hand on spear and helmet on head. Others fled at the awful submerge ment, but the explorer, seventeen hundred years after, found the body of that brave fel low in right position. And it would be a grand thing if, when our last moment comes, we are found in right position toward the world, as well as in right position toward God, on guard and unafl'righted by the ashes from the moun tain of death. Ido not suppose that lam any more of a coward than most people, but I de clare to yon that I would not dare to sleep to night if there were, any being in all the earth with whom I would not gladly shako hands, lest, during the night hours, my spirit dis missed to other realms, I should, because of my unforgiving spirit, be denied divine for giveness. “But,” says some woman, “there isahorrid creature that lias so injured me that rather than make up with her I would die first.” Well, sister, you may take your choice—for I one or the other it will be—your complete par ■ don of her or God’s eternal punishment of you. , “But,” says some man, “that fellow wiio | cheated me out of those goods, or damaged my I business credit, or started that lie about me in the newspapers, or by his perfidy broke up my domestic happiness, forgive him I cannot, forgive him I will not.” Well, brother, take your choice. You will never bo at peace with God till yon are at peace with man. Feeling as you now do, you would not get so near the harbor of heaven as to see the light ship. Better leave that man with the God v, ho said: “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.” You may say, “1 will make him sweat for that yet, I will make him squirm, I mean to pursue him to death,” but you are damaging yourself worse than you damage : him and you are making heaven for your own | soul an impossibility, if ho will not be recon ciled to you be reconciled to him. In five or | six hours it will be sundown. The dahlias will • bloom against tho western sky. Somewhere I between this and that take a shovel and burry I the old quarrel at least six feet deep. “Let i not the sun go down upon your wrath.” “But,” you say, “I have more than I can bear; too much is put upon me and I am not to blame if I am somewhat revengeful and un relenting.” Then I think of the little child at the moving of some goods from a store. The father was putting some rolls of goods on tho child’s arm, package after package, and some one said: “That child is being overloaded and so much ought not to be put upon her,” when tho child responded: “Father knows ho v much I can carry;” and God, our Father, will not allow too much imposition on his chil dren. In the day of eternity it will bo foimd you had not one annoyance too many, not one ] exasperation too many, not one out ! rage too many. Your Heavenly I Father knows how much you can carry. Again, we ought not to allow the pas age of I the -unset hour before the dismissal of all our affronts, because wo may associate the sub- • lnnc-t action of the soul with tho. sublimest i spec'acle in nature. It is a most delightsome thing to have our person tl experiences allied with certain objects. There Is a tree or river bunk where God first answered your prayer. You will never pass that place or think of that place without thinking of the glorious com mum' n. There was some gate, or some room, or s.iiir garden walk, where you were atlf a need with tin companion who lies been your chief joy in life. You never speak of that place but memories connected with the evening star, or tho moon in its first quarter, or witli tlie sunrise, because you saw it just as you were striving al haibor alter a t-.rupestnowi voyage. Foiev-r and forever, O I Laaso* oaoA/iiatA tl.a etitsHAf u/ltb VOtlF niftUlliAH* THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, ATLANTIC GA„ TUESDAY. OCTOBER 25. 1887. imous, out and out. unlimited renunciation of all hatreds and forgiveness of all foes. I ad mit it is the most difficult of all graces to prac tice, and at tho start you may make a com plete failure, but keep on in the attempt to practice it. Shakspoaro wrote ten plays before he reached Hamlet, and seventeen plays be fore he reached Merchant of Venice, and twenty-eight plays before he reached Macbeth. And gradually you will come from tho easier graces to tho most difficult. Besides that, it is not a matter of personal determination so much as the laying hold of the almighty arm of God, who will help us to do anything that we ought to do. Remember that ‘in all per sonal controversies the one least to blame will have to take the first step at pacification, if it is ever effective. The contest between Aeschines and Aristippus resounds through history, but Aristippus, who was least to blame, went to Aeachines and said: “Shall wo not agree to be friends before we make ourselves the' laugh ing stock of the whole country?” And Aea chinossaid: “Thou art a far batter man than I, for I began the quarrel, but thou hast been tho first in healing the breach,” and they were always friends afterwards. So let the one of you that is least to blame take tho first step toward conciliation. The one most in tho wrong will never take it. Oh, it makes one feel splendidly to be able by God’s help to practice unlimited forgiveness. It improves one’s body and soul. It will make you measure three or four more inches around tho chest and improve your re spiration so that you can take a deeper and longer breath. It improves the countenance by scattering the gloom, and brightening tho forehead, and loosening the pinched look about the nostril and lip, and makes you somewhat lilce God himself. He is omnipotence, and wo cannot copy that. He is independent of all the universe, and wo cannot copy that. He is creative, and we cannot copy that. He is omnipresent, and we cannot copy that. But ho forgives with a broad sweep all faults, and all neglects, and all insults, and all wrong-doing, and in that we may copy Him with mighty success. Go har ness that sublime action of your soul to an au tumnal sunset, tho hour when the gate of heaven opens to let the day pass into the eter nities and some of the glories escape this way through the brief opening. AVo talk about tho Italian sunsets, and sunset amid the Appen ines, and sunset amid the Cordorillas. But I will toll you how you may see a grander sunset than any mere lover of nature- ever beheld— that is by flinging into it all your hatreds, and animosities, and let tho horses of fire trample them, and tho chariots of fire roll over them, and tho spearmen of fire stab them, and the beach of fire consume them, and the billows of fire overwhelm them. The sublimest thing God does is tho sunset. The sublimest thing you can do is forgiveness. Along tho glowing banks of this coming even tide let tho divine and the human be concur rent. Again; We should not let the sun godown on our wrath because it is of little importance what the world says of you or does to you when you have the affluent God of the sunset as your provider and defender. People talk as though it were a fixed spectacle of nature and always the same. But no one ever saw two sunsets alike, and if the world has existed six thousand years there have been about two million one hundred and ninety thousand sunsets, each of them as distinct from all the other pictures in the gallery of tho sky as Titian’s “Last Supper,” Rubens’s “Descent from the Cross,” Raphael’s “Transfiguration” and Michael Angelo’s “Last Judgment” are distinct from each other. If that God, of such infinite resources that he can put on the wall of the sky each night more than the Louvre, and the Luxembourg, and the Vatican, and the Dresden and Venetian galleries all in one, is my God and your Goa, our Provider and Protector, what is the use of our worrying about any human antagonism ? If we are misinterpreted, the God of tho many colored sunset can put the right color on our action. If He can afford to hang such masterpieces over tho outside wall of heaven and have them oblit erated in an hour, He must be very rich in re sources and can put us through in safety. If all the garniture of tho western heavens at eventide is but the upholstery of one of the windows of our future home, what small busi ness for us to bo chasing enemies I Let not this Sabbath sun go down upon your wrath. Mahomet said: “Tho sword is the key of heaven and licit, a drop'of blood shed Is better than fasting, and wounds in the day ,of judg ment resplendent ns Vermillion, and odorifer ous as musk.” But, my hearers, in the last day we will find just the opposite of that to bo true,and that the sword never unlocks heaven, and that ho who heals wounds is greater than he who makes them, and that on tho same ring arc two keys: God’s forgiveness of us and our forgiveness of enemies, and those two keys unlock paradise. And now I wish for all of you a beautiful sunset in your earthly existence. With some of you it has been a long day of trouble, and with others of you it will ho far from calm. When the sun rose at six o'clock it was tho morning of youth, and a fair day was prophe sied, but by the time tlie noon-day of mid-life had come and the clock of your earthly exis tence had struck twelve, cloud racks gathered and tempest bellowed in tho track of tempest. But as the evening of old ago approached I pray God tho skies may brighten and the clouds be piled up into pillars as of celestial temples to which you go, or move as with mounted cohorts come to take you home. And as you sink out of sight be low tho horizon may there boa radiance of Christian example lingering longaftor you are gone, and on tho heavens be written iii letters of sapphire, anil on tlie waters in letters of opal, and on the hills in letters of emoraid: “Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself, for tho Lord shall be thine everlasting light and tho days of thy mourning shall bo ended.” So shall the sun set of earth become tho sunrise of heaven. Choked to Death by a Peanut. From the Cortland, N. Y., Standard. Two weeks ago last Monday, while Bessie, the twenty-two months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Hopkins, was eating peanuts, one got Into tier windpipe and passed down into the right bronchus. She began choking violently. Iler mother tried to stop the choking, and sent for Dr. White. Soon after ho arrived the peanut seemed to come up into the tmehon, and she was at ones relieved, although the peanut could not be gotten out. On the following Sunday she had another chokin’spell, caused by the peanut again passing down Into the bronchus. Dis. White and Hyde, who were called, could do little for her, and just ns they thought she w< uid die, the peanut again came up into tho trachea and site stopped clicking. Had tho peanut been fixed, an Incision could bnvo been made in the trachea and the nut could have been remov'd, but It kdpt moving about arftl was Hable nt anj'time to return to the bronchus. There was no further trouble, however, until lust Monday, when sud leifljr, while playing on tlie floor and ap parently as well as over, Hie peanut again slipped down into the bronchus and before she could le re lieved -he diet!.
