jlerious man, f inee gone to his heavenly
rest, was ti lling the scores of sick
people present that ChrL-t was there
as of old to heal all diseases, and that, if
they would only believe, their 6ickness
would depart. I saw a woman near mo,
wilh liand and arm twisted of iheuma- ;

Go hai ne.-s that sublime action of 3"our
soul to an autumnal sunset, the hour
1 when tho gate of heaven opens to let the
I day pass into the eternities and souk;
j of the glories esca'Kr this way through
j tin' brief opening. We talk about
; the Italian sunsets, and sunset amid the
! Appenines, and sunset amid the Oordille
I ras. I hit I will tell 3u how you may
! see a grander sunset than aii3' mere lover
I of neturo ever behold; that is by Hinging
j into it all your hatreds and animosities,
! and lot the horses of lire trample them.
; and tho chariots stab them, and the beach
i of lire- con.-.unie them, and the billows of
; lire overwhelm them. Tho sublimest
1 liing you can do is forgiveness. Along

current.
1 Again: Yve should not let tho sun go
i down on our wrath, because it is of little
j importance what the world s;i3"S of you
i r docs to you when you have the alllu
i cut God of the sunset as 3"our provider
! aud defender. I'eoplo talk as though it
; were a fixed spectacle of nature and al

; two sunsets alike, aud if tho world has
I . :.I- led 0,000 years there have been about

may a sedate tho sublimest action of tho
soul with tho sublime's t spectacle in na

have our personal experiences allied with
certain cojicis. There is a tree or river

prayer. You will n.-ver pass that place
cr think of that place without thinking
of the glorious communion. There was
some gate, or some room, cr some garden
walk, where 30U were aliianccd with tho
companion who has been your chief joy
in life. You never t peak of that placo
but with a smile, kerne cf you have
pleasant memories connected with the
evening star, or tho moon i:i its first
quarter, or with tho sunrise, bi cause ycu

and forgiveness of all fees. I admit it is
Iho mo.t diilicult of U graces to prac
tice, and at the start you may make a
complete failure, but keep on in the r-.t-teiv.pt
to practice it. Shake.-peare wrote
ton plays before he reached Hamlet, and
seventeen 5 lavs before lie reached ?ier-

than lie v. ho makes them, and that on
