The eln 0513801i008 0111.10181)118 almost universe' Nowise one is tint to 00011011. it at first uneonsciouely m and without preeditetion or fore thouglit, If a perty of young peo- ple aro together, it is not 'hard to find fault with the ininis.ter, and the doctor, ancl the chossinaker, and the neighbor's wife and child and house and all that lie has, It is not difficult to lay the reputation of an ebsent member upon the diseect- nig table of traducement anil'cut and beak it', into pieces with cruel, sbarp, , merciless tongues. It is not always a disagreeable opportunity to repeat the slanders and the vili- fications and the defamations and the wholesale condemnations which have been eiroulated about the neighborhood in reference to othei Poop le's characters. Now, my text IS a diVina protest against the hasty and the unjust judgments with which we condemn our fellow men. It is a divine pro- test to bring men and women to the realization of the awful damage they , Are doing themselves, as well as others, by the pernicious habit of censorious criticism, it is a pro- test to prove that, though we honor Men and love Merl and praise men and help men, yet we must not hate 111011 or deride men or condemn men. Condemnation is a divine preroga- tive. Condemnation is a, thunder- bolt which will shatter every huraan hand thet tries to grasp it and to • hurl it. Condemnation is a. poison- ous fang which will destroy our own lives as well as lacerate and instill the fatal POISON INTO THEIR FLESH Personally we should not condemn mon, because, having imperfections in ourselves, we have no right to ex- pect and demand perfection in oth- ers. If we were holy, perhaps we might have a right to expect other people to be holy. If we were pure raindod, we miglit have a right to expect ether people to be pure mind- ed. 31 we loved the Lord one God wilth all our heart and soul and mind and strength; if We were per- fect lufsbauds and perfect wives, per- fect parents and perfect Children, perfect in our love for .our telletv men, we niight expect others to be perfect. Dot what right ,lias the raven to croak because her young have wings as black as the night? What right• has the Pharisee to stand up and condemn the poor pub- lican, who stood afar off and beat his breast, moaning, "God be mer- ciful to me a sinner." when the Pharisee himself was so sinful that he was like a whited sepulcher, "which indeed apperxed beautiful outward, but was within full of dead nzen's bones and all unclean." 'eked what right have you, 0 hearer, to say your neighbor is a bad man or a bad 1001111511 and should be con- demned when you yourself have an evil eye and have not yet, by the grace of God, plucked it out? When you yourself have an evil hand or foot and have not yet amputated it? When you yourself have an evil tongue to speak or an evil ear to listen against the deeds of your neighbors? And the sad fact about human condemnation is this: The more we ourselves have gone astray, the raore we ourselves have followed too much the devices and the desires. of our own hearts, the more We our- selves have sinned in mind or in act nand not yet been found out by the world, the more apt ere we to cone (tenni the shortcomings and week- nesees of Others, even as Lord Jef- freys, the unjust English judge, was merciless toward those who were brought before him, although he himself at that time was the great- est criminal in all England. It is not the good father who is hardest upon the daughter that has gone as- tray; it is the bad father who is not apt to forgive the wayward child, It is not the good brotlaer who is un- willing to save the wayward sieter; it is the sinful brother, who would and does demand that his sister should be morally all right while he himself hfAY ]3111 MORALLY ALL WRONG. No man should rashly condemn another; because it is often impossi- ble for him to realize what were the mitigating circumstances in hich wthe sin was conceived. If all men were born free and equal, as the American Declaration of Inde- pendence optimistically' declares, you could judge them In the bull:. You could judge any two men as You might test two bars of steel which come from the same mold. You could judge them, as you might say that a pound of cofTee ought to Weigh ,as much as e pound of Wt.; but all men aro not born free and equal. We axe different in heredi- tary tendencies. Only a. short time ago at a connention. of the Womeine Christian Temperance) Union a dele- gate read the record of a woman, with criminal tendencies WhO died in 182'7, The name of this weinan, for obvious reasons, 10(58 not told. This woman of criminal tendenciee had had up to ditto river 1e00 de- , scenclants. Seven hurdred of these descendants have been erirninele, and all Were conyieted at least once 015(1most of them more than once for tl 1111110. Thirty-six of these descend- ex ants have been murderers. "And," w *mid the speaker, "the blood of that th one woman of criminal tendencies w has cost the nation in eighty years h 010)1'$8,000,000 for trials and exe- h Masons and for the property etolen w destroyed,," Is 'net tne blood a thet flows in your veins bnpleller dif- ferent from that width floweh in the Veinof tineee children?

Some are caned for by loving Maids, others have to 'fight lor their lives among the bristly thorns and the oveeshadowing weedia Some hitve enough sunlight to incnbate end de- velop then), and neet enough showers and dews to slake their thirst. Oth- er flowers are continually being seorebed by tho drought and DELUGED BY THE FRESHETS. Wo aee 11 different in our inherit- ed temperaments •ancl cur powee to resist temptation. Oliver Wendell Holmes, the quaint poet and philo- sophy-, once wisely said, "Every child's training should begin at least 100 years before that child is born," Have you, and I any right to condemn a man's actions unless we can put ourselves in that man's place ? Then, after we have put ourselves in our erring brother's place have we a right to affirm that we, in our own strength, would have done 'differently than he has done 9 If we do thus affirm, we aro not honeet and tills to ourselves, for some of the mightiest. and best men of Cod have testified, just the opposite, Glorious John NeWton, trumpet throated John Newton, Holy Spirit inspired John Newton, once deelnren that he never saw a murderer being led away to the gal- lows but he always said to himself, "There goes 'John Newton. unless he had been saved by the grace of God." Horatio Seymoor, twice governor of New York, in re large religious meeting once solemnly de - (dared, In my UM° as the chief executive of New York, I have had to excunino hundreds of applications for pardons. After I ha4 carefully examined them and fully entered In- to the lives of the convieted and realized the influences .which caused those crimes. I amfree to confess that had I had the same influence about me as those men had in. every case I should have committed the same crimes'', if not blacker ones." Oh, my brother, instead of condemn- ing your brother put yourself in your erring brother's place. Get down on your knees and offer a prayer of gratitude that you 'have not been tempted as Ile is temrted. You ought to get down on your knees and tharik God that even in your lesser temptations you have been saved solely by an inspiring faith in a divine love which may never have been lcindled in your BROTITFR'S SINFUL MART, No human being should condemn his neighbor because.it is only the loving tear of pleading sorrow that can quench"the ilres'of sin -and not the sharp tongue that "breaketh-the bone." Th is only the warm, gentle - protecting, outstnetehed arm of a friend that drawsthe sinner toward God and heaven; net the clenched fist of ark enemy. Did you ever see a minister who became a better min- ister through the fault finding of bis congregation 9 Did you ever know of a wife who became a better wife because her husband talked against her to his neighbors ? Do you know of one human beiug who was. brought Closet to your heart and to God by being demeaned in the eyes of his fellow men through bitter denuncia- tions that you burled against hint? No No Slender and vilification and traclue,ement and disparagement and evil rumor, repeated by your lips, never softened or purified a sinful heart. They only drove the sinner farther away front you and farther from God. It is possible to criticize even the best of men, The story is told that Zeuxle, the famous Greelc artist, painted a wonderful picture of a boy holding it dish of grapes. The pic- ture was so wonderful that the birds flew through the 011011 window and with their bills picked at the grapes which the artist had drawn. But though there were thousands ready tes prate% there were still many censorious critics who con- demned the picture. "For," said the evil minded critics, "If the boy had been painted aS perfectly as the disb of fruit, the birds would have been afraid to approach the dish which the lad is supposed to hold in his hand." It is possible to harshly judge the actions of even the best men. Therefore it is very easy by bitter critic-1mM Le, cleetroy thous- ands who might be saved by the gentleness of a loving, forgiving, canisTux-n TONOUE. But the text has a deeper and wid- er meaning than merely the inter- pretation which implies that if we utter condemnation against our brothers Our brethren will in turn speak siinilar condemnations against us. It means that if we condemn our brethren, Christ will condemn us. It means that. if we do not speak kindly of those who have gcme wrong Christ will not become our diiine advocate and pleacl for our forgiveness. What does the Miele say in order to imprese thio truth upon our hearts ? Christ gave vs le Lord's Prayer as the model 'of ir applications. "Our Father 111111 alt in beaver:, hallowed be y name. Thy kingdom come, Thy ill be -done in earth as it is in eaven. Forgive us our treepasee as eaven, Forgive us our trespasses on e forgive those who trenpass gainst us."
