Text: "Let not the . tun to down upon

- What a pillow embroidered of a'l colors
hath the dying dayv. The cradle of clouds
from which the sun rise3 is beautiful enough,
but it is surpass3d; by the many colored
mausoleum, in which at - evening it" is buried.;"
Sunset aa.-ong' the . mountains! It almost
takes one's breath away to recall : the scene.
The long shadows stretching over the plain
made the glory of the departing light on the
tiptop crags and struck aslant through the
foliage the more transpicuous. ; Saffron and
gold, purple and crimson commingled. All
the castles of cloud- in conflagrations Burn
ing Moscows on the sky. Banging gardens
of roses at their deepest b'ub. BHni.ers of
vapors, red as if from carnage,: in the battle
of the elements. The huntef among the Adi
rondacks and the Swiss villager among the
Alps knov what is a suDS3t . among the
mountains. ;V After a storm at sea the: roll
ing grandeur into which the sun goes down
to bathe at nightfall is somelhing to make
weird and sp-endid ; dreams cut of for a
lifetime. ; Alexander Smith in his poem com
pares the sunset to ' the barren beach of hell,"
but this wonderful speciacle f nature maker
me think of the burnished wall of heaven.
Paul in prison writ jig my text remember
some of! the gorgeous sunsets I among the
mountains of Asia Minor, and how he liad
often seen the towers of Damascus, blaze in
the close of the Oriental days, and he flashes
out that memory : in the tet when he says:
"Let not th i sun go down upou your wrat.."
Sublime and all suggestive duty for people
then and people now. Forgiveness before
sundown.; He who never feels the throb of
indignation is imbecile. - He who can walk
among the injustices of the world, inflictsd
uponTiimself and-others, without flush of
cheek or flash of eye or agitation of nature, s
-is either in sympathy: with wrong or semi-
"idiotic. When Ananias, the high -priest, or
dered the constables Jef the tour t jobmto
smite Paul in tbe mouth,-l 'anl nTeim and
eaidr 'God shalr smite thee, thou whited.

my texj; Paul commands thsEphesians: - ."Be
ye angry and sin not. " It all depends on
what you are mad at and how long the feeli
ing lasts; whether angey.is rignt or wrong.
Life is full of 1 exasperations. -Saul after
David, Suecoth after; Gideon, Korah after
Moses, the Pasquins after Augustus, the
Pharisees after Chfist,and every one has had
his pursuers, and we are swindled or be!ied or
misrepresented or persecuted or in some way-wronged,-
and the danger is that healthful
indignation shall become baleful spite, and
that "our; feelings sattle down into a pro
longed outpouring of temper displeasing to
God and ruinous to ourselves, and hence the
important in junction, of thtext: "Let not
the sun go down unon vour wrath." " x" r
. Why that limitation to one's anger) "Why
that period of flaming vapor set to punctuate
a flaming disposition? What has the sunset
got to do with one's resentful emotions) Was
ft a haphazard sentiment written bv Paul
without special significance? No. no: I think
pf five reasons why we should not let the
sun set before our temper sets! C , .. r
, jir56, oecause iweive nours is long enougn
to be cross about any -wrong inflicted upon
us. - ISothms is so exhaustinsr to Dhvsical
health or mental faculty as a protracted in
dulgence of ill humor. It racks the nervous
system. - It hurts the digest .on, it heats the
blood m brain and heart until the whole bodv
is first overheated and then depressed. Be
side that, it sours the disposition, turns one
aside from his legitimate work, expends en-
Brgies that ought to be better employed, and
does us more harm than it does our antago
nist. 7 rani mves t us a rood, wi-le al

'- Other thmgs bsing equal the man who pre-V
sarves good temper will come out ahead. An'
old essayist says that the celebrated John
Henderson, of Bristol, England, was at a
dining party where political exitement ran
high and the debate got angry, and whi e ;
Henderson was speaking his opponent, un- "
able to answer his argument, dished a glasi
of wine in his face, when the speaker deliber-"
ately wiped the liquid from his face and said:;
"This, sir, is a digression ; now, if you pieas v
for the--main argument." Wh'le worldly",
philosophy could help but very few to such
equipoise of spirit, the-; grace of God could
help any man to such a triumph. ."Im
possible," you say, -I i would ' have either
left the table in anger " or have ; knocked
the man down." But I have come to
believe that nothing is impossible, if God
help me, since what I saw at Beth-Shan
faith cure in London, England two sum
mers ago. While the religious.'servicewas '
going on Rev. Dr. Boardman, glorious man
since gone to his heavenly rest,; was telling
the score of sick people present that Christ
was there as of old to heal all diseases, and
that, if they would only believe, their sick
ness would depart. ! I saw a woman ne ir me,
with hand and arm twisted of rheumatism,
and her wrist was fiery . with inflammation,
and it looked bike those cases of chronic
rheumatism which we have all seen and sym
pathized with, cafes beyond all - human heal
ing. - At the preacher's reiteration o the
words: 5 "Will you believe?-- Do you believe)
Do you believe now?" I heard this poor sick
woman say, with an empbasis which sounded
through the building: - "I do believe." And
then she laid her twisted arm and hand out as
straight as your rra and hand, or mine. If
I had seen one ris from the -dead I would, not
have been much more thrilled. Since then
I believe that God will do anything. in an
swer to; our prayer and - in - answer to , our
faith, and can; heal our bodisran 1 if pur
soui is all twjsted and misshanen of revenge
and hate and inflamed with sinful proclivity,
he can straighten that also and make it; well
and clean. . - Aye, you will, not postpone till
sundown forgiveness of enemies, if ycu can
realize that their behavior toward - you- m y
be put into the catalogue of thS "all things '

So he let the sun of his earthly : existence go
down upon his wrath. '
Agaim We ought not to allow the sun to set
before forgiveness takes plnce, because we
might not live to see another d3y. - And what
if we should be ushered into the presence of .
our Maker with a grudge upon our soul? The
majority of people depart this life hi the
night. Between 1 to'clock p. m. and 3 o'clock
a m. there is something in the atmosphe
which relaxes the grip which the body has on
the soul, and most people enter the next
world througu tbe sliadows of this world. .
Perhaps God nay have arranged ifc in
that - way so as to . make . the con-;
traet the - more glorious. 1 t have j seen
sunshiny days in this world that must have
been almost like the radiance of, heaven But
as most naoDle leave the earth between sun-'
niown and sunrise, they quit this World at its
darkest, and heaven, always bright, win De
the brighter for that contrast. Out of black
ness into irradiation. - Shall we then leap over
the roseate bank of sunset into the favorite
hunting ground of disease and death, carry
ing 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 wa expect his forgive-;
nees for th3 greater when we are
not : willing to forgive ; others the less?
Napoleon was eneouraz?d to undertake the

had previously crossed them. And all this
rugged path of forgiveness bears the bleeding
footsteps of him who conquer.! -through
suffering, and we ought to be willing to fol
low. On the night - of our - departure from
this life into the next, our one plea will have
to be for mercy, and it will have to be
offered- in the presence of him who has
said: ' If you forgive "not men their tres
passes Ljeither will your heavenly Father for
eive your trespasses." i What a sorry plighl
' we stand there hatinz this one, and hating
that one, and wishing this one a damage ana
some one else a calamity, and we ourselves
needing forgiveness for ten thousand times ten
thousand obliquities of heart and life. Whan
our last hour comes, we want it to find us all
right. - Hardly anything affects me so much
ii t ie uncovering of ancient Fooipeii as the
account of the soldier who, after the city had
for many centuries been covered with -thr
ashes and scoriae of Vesuvius, was found
standing in his place on guard, hand on spear
and bemlet on head. Others fled at the awful
sabmergement, but the explorer, 1,700 years
after? found the body of that brave fellow in
right position. And it will be a grand thing
if. when our, last -moment comes, we are
found in right position toward the world, as
well as in ri?htvfKsition toward God, on

mountain of death. I do not suppose that Pi

" But," says some woman, ' there is a hor

than make up - with her I would die first."
Well, sister: you mar : take your choice

your choice. - You will never be at peace
with God till you 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 who
said: "Vengeance is mine, 1 will -repay,
You may say: s "I will make him sweat for
that yet, I will make him squirm, I mean to
pursue him to the death," but you are dam
aging yourself more than you damage him
and you are making heaven for your owr
soul an impossibility. If he will - not be
reconciled to you, be reconciled to him. In
five or six hours it - will - be sundown. The
dahlias will soon bloom against the western
skv. Somewhere between this and that take a
shovel and bury the old grudge at least six
feet deep. "Let not the sun go down on 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
unrelenting." Then I think of the bttle child
at -the moving of some goods from a store.
I The father" was putting some rolls of goods
on the child's arm. package after package,
and someone said: J'That child is being over
loaded and so much ought not to be put upon
her," when .the child- responded : "Father
knows how much I can carry;" and God, our
Father, will not allow too much imposition
on-his children. In the day of eternity it
will be found you had not one annoyance too
many, not one aspersion too many, not one
outrage too many. ' Your heaven ly Father
knows how much you can carry.'
- Again, we ought not to allow the passage
of tbe sunset hour before the dismissal of all
our affronts, because we-' may associate tbe
sublimert action of tbe soul with the sublim--est
spectacle in nature. It is a most delight
some thing to have our personal experiences
allied with certain objects. .There is a tree
or river bank where God first answered your
prayer. " You will never pass that place or
think of that place without' thinking of the
glorious communion. There was some gate,
or some room, or some garden walk where
you were affianced with the , companion
'ho has been your ' ' chief joy in. lifeJ
You never, speak of . that place but with a
smile. Some of you have pleasant memories ;
connected with the evening star, or. the moon
in its first quarter, or with the sunrise, be
cause you saw it just as you were arriving at
harbor after a tempestuous voyage. Forever
and forever, O hearer, associate the sunset
with your magnanimous, out and out, un
limited renunciation of all hatreds and fcn
giveness of aD foes. I admit it is the most
difficult of all graces, to practice,. and at the
start you may make a complete f ailure, but
keep on - in the attempt .to ; practice :: it.

copy that. He is omnipresent, and we cannot
copy t hat. But He forgives with a broad Sweep
all faults, and all neglect, and all insults,:
and all wrong-doing, and in that we may copy
him with mighty success.- Go harness tht
sublime action of your ami to an autumnal
sunset, the hour ' when the gate of heaverr
opens to let. the day pass into the eternities
and- some of the glories escape' this way
through the brief opening. ; We talk about
the Italian sunsets, and sunset amid the Ap-
gsuines, and sunset amid, the Cordilleras
ut I will tell you how you may-see a grander
sunset than any mere lover of .nature ever be
held; that is, by flinging into it all your
hatreds and animosities, and let the horses of
fire trample them, ; and the. chariots of fire
roll over them, And tm "spearmen of tire'
stab them, and the breath,, of fire consume
them; and the billows of ; fire-, overwhelm
them. The sublimest thing God . does is . the

Greer's, . but camo on, and the .collision
occurred two and half miles th s side of that
station, both, trams running full speed, at

THIEVES ON HORSEBACK.
A Desperate Encounter in Which Two;
;;!;" Out Laws Are-Fataily Hurt. -
' During the summer a gang of horse-thieves
Jiive invested Howard and adjoining counl
ties in Nebraska and . succeeded in.'running
off several valuable horses. Their methods
of stealing were so ably executed , that theyj
-succeeded in eluding the officers" for several
months. They had established stations, and
would run their horses from station to station
during the night until they were safely out
of reach in the Indian-Territory and Texas.
Finally the officers suspicions were fastened
upon Noah Strohl, a cowboy,, who has made
himself notorious on the frontier by his reck
less and darings deeds, "and Jim Tayior and
Charles Smith-, who do a great deal of travel
ing about the country without any visible
occupation. ." --: ' - rA-M f .-s--.--The
banditti learned that the officers were'
on their trail, and they skipped - out in a
northwesterly direction through the sand
hill and canyons of Northwestern Nebraska,,
with the officers and tbeir posse in close pur
suit. The officers came upon the thieves,'.
whohad taken shelter with a settler who
lives in a dug-out. -They were sleeping on
their blankets by their horses in a stable.
When surrounded they soon realized the
situation and determined to die rather than
be taken alive. They mounted their, horses
and made a terrific rush for liberty, amid a
volley of bulletts from the posse. - r "
The thieves kept up a steady fire at the
officei's. Smith's horse was shot from under
him and he received several bullett wounds,
any one of which would prove f atal. - Strohl,
at full speed, plunged his horse into a ravine
twenty feet deep and was almost instantly;
-killed.':-;: -. ' ::- AA -'Av
Taylors horse was shot from under him and
be gave himself up. One of tho officers re
