Hence, eay the Inquirers, “Beauty Is mado of curved lnes' But the delinttion pastens to fail, for the colors of flowers, the yints of aututam, the deep blue of the' sky, tave no roundncss or squarences, have no qual- jtiea of geometry. ‘Time was when no preat {hinker seemneda willivie to quit this world until pe had uttered his thuught over this famous quality.

Augustine wente gpon it, but fonsmuch 88 he lived fn a theologi- wlage, the times preserved carefully all his thealogieal treatiscs, but threw away his casay on the beaut!ful, Atlast genfus has given up the clase, and, poabte to tell the what or the wherefore tn the great matter, lias conclutded to enjoy that which {tcan no longer define, And now, as deflnition ceases, tho thing to be detined assumes many pew shapes, and the old curved lines are left [ar behind by an age which Buds beautiful musk, and beaut!ful pocms, and a beautiful thought, and & beautiful oration,and a beautiful lte, We must at last sum up sl the long debate by de- clarlng that there fs n form of taste In the soul which s diferent from the taste for fame, or food, oripleasure, and that when this taste Is gratilled wo give to that which gratified it the nzme of the beautiful, There arc things ard eoudltions in the world which woke up and please this hidden sense, and, for this nower to wake and please, they are oll called lovely. The human familv had not been lonfi out In this wide world before It began tofind in tho moral world something similar to what it had found {n the material. “Are these wild flowers that grow by tho garden waull of the King beau- tifull’ Arc the hills about Jerusslem beautitul? Istheollve tree beautifult Why, then, friendship beautifull It {s, aud the Old'World Degan to say, Let us wouhlp the King fuhis tesuty; and the same age broke vut In the strain—** that Baul and Jonatban wero lovely in tbelr lives,” Thus went even the rude Hebrew age, earrying the beautiful across frotn the ma- terial world to the spiritual, and that which was born amone flowers and _forms was prometed to aplace in the belng of Gud and the relations of men, From plysical beauty the developlng world passed onward to moral beauty. Let our theme of to-day be Tho Moral Beauty of Christ, ‘This Jesus tuc panie-stricken Jews, fearing the overthirow of the natlonal Institutions, were leading along toward death.

That sudden gleags which thecked thie passions of the Roman ruler has since that day flashed out Into an fnteuso light. The mornl beauty of Christ must have been great In that one hour, for the death scene was turned Into une uf regrets and misgivings by the pecullar quulity of the victim's character. Bome of the rupged soldicrs adwmired the Cru- ciffied One. 'Ihe” Disciples were palsled and leartbroken,—the women wept. Iu our reflections over this being of such moral beauty, let us first free our mindsfrom |nr fecling " that perhiaps many centurles bave suillced to enlarge a comtnou character and weave chaplets ofuninerited honor, Distance, Indeed, does lend a chiarm even to rocky bills, Hence a poct says: A scoro of {lny miles will smooth The rough Monadnoc to 8 gem ;. but in the past this reflning process takes place st where thero could be or was'mno cuns temporary written history. Most of that old deification ot man took ‘place where legeud, where gossip, was the ouly historlan. Ilomer did not write of things he liad seen. Livy dil o put down what some witnesses had recoraed o0 the aput of the person or the event, but it ¥as after Romulus or Alucas bad been n the band of Rumor for 500 ycars that the Latin historian was called upon to deal with the nar- ntlves. All the cxtravagant stories which fll the vld air come down Irowm thnes when eyents wera stored up only fn wemory, and which benes grew as timo rolled along. Had Amorica no written language, nobooks, it would ow bo fmposaible to know' how talf or how lurge was \Washington, aud what battles wero fought in our Hevolution, but in place of In- formation we should bave legends like thosa of umer, heroes like Achilles or William Tell, jut when actions and persons come down from atimo of universal writing they come without great distortion, The war of Cesar, recorded by btmsell in & lahzuage which courts of just- c¢ stll) use ou sccount of its precision, is a Taryo cvent which bas undercono uo chiange, has wuffered from no embellisbment in the long ericd Letween Cesar and our tine, 1t 13 true at tho wen who composed the Liospels were Dot a8 calin and rationalistic as a Tacltus or & Cauar, but aside from ony cluli of fuspiration thelr evldenca s very rotiable, aud anould irsve us without any doubt that Jesus Christ wulked hefore “thos chroulclers in that exact lkeness “which wo sco fn the Testa- meat.

It has paused to nd- mire one dny, the follage of Lhe woumls: the next day, the lives of the saints, The sublime in uuntains has found its cqual in the subilime in poetry, In eloquence, and in thonght; the sen does not spread out before man Ina_great- ness more [mpressive than spreads the lives of the putriots and the martyrs, The wlale ajr has always Leen full " of this beau- tful—comiug ~ up at times from the expanse of nature, at times from the chambers of man, The gardens where the old pomegranate and balm were fragrant, and where the modern ruse and uatsy bloom, lave liad to divide thelr glory with the poet's garret or the phitosopher's porch.

Of this great moral eplendor which hias stood around munkind us their pillar of fire, Clirlst has fur eighteen venturles furined & larie part. This might be almost Interred from stmply looking futo the retlizion which bears his nante. When youcan find 1t i its nhn&nku . a8 in the life of some child or bumble disciple wihio Toves not hoasting. nor cant, or can] see Ity sublimity in a Newton or a Fenelun; when you can find It enrrving civilization to the once savage tribes of the inlands or to the Indiuns of our wilder- ness, then will-you conclude that such o stream niust uavo risen in soma beautiful land, What i called the public Christianity {s something that differs widely from the ‘systemn taught by Jesus. ‘Tho sctual religion Las Howed through stazuanl marshes and decaying weeds and even polsonous plants, aml the waters of the Bethichem hills fssuc stained and sickly from thusc great areas of dying follage. Tlie religion ol Jesus passed through politics in the Roman Church, and was stuined by ity lm.rlfnes. and Le-loums, and ma- terfuliam} it passcd through barbarian timesand was faden with cruelties; it pasacd through ab. stract philosophy and became clouded or fi sified, Hut getting well deuts and seeing this rel slpleat follower of the chutuber of some foithful ealnt, you will be bound toconfess that such acrecd must have come through the pate that Is called beautifut. Humne of the detalls of the actual religion have becn Indecd most frightful; some of the doctrines in the Christlan name have been unequaled for cruelty fu even the most pagan londs, but no one ‘ean find any basis of these Idcas fn the words or life of Jesus, and then even slung with these objectionsble dopguias, and a8 though fu spite of them an almost fnfinite volume of the beautiful has rushed from this religlon to cover the conturics with a noble . overflow. New arts huve come, especiully & new musie, and there has comea new inspiration to literature. ‘When the clouds are soaring white and peace- fully across the upper sky, althouyghit s all calm where we may be living in tho ficlds be- neath, yet we know that far shove us there Is blowing a wind that fs flling all the white salls of the clouds and fs watting them across the parallels. 8o thongh calin may seetn the Chrls- tlan world where wo stand or our fathers stood, yet there has always been and fsatill in it an fin- pulse, a strong south wind that Is carrying it by with all its detalis of tho wonderful.” The law of causation demands this luference, e truest and most adequato name ‘of this hiu- den cnergy is Jesus Christ, The systen flo romulged is full ot Ilis personal Tcharucter, 1is religlon runs onward, lmpelled not by Rotnauism, not by Calviniam, not by even gen- eral ortliox thought, but by the morn) beuuty of its Chicf. That quality which moditied Tllate, which touched "the lilstorlan Josephus, which changed tho contemptuous silence of Renan Into almost {mpassioned cloquence, which made Rosseau mingle unbelict with ex- treme culogy, has never been for an honr ab- sent, but has poured out its sweet-smelllug In- cense by every nltar, and hos poured new fu- -Ylmunn fnto “the bosoin of each worshiper.

Mark now this moral charm! It is of many colora, llke the clements of the lght. 1, There [s the beauty of the right., The world has been so long cureed by the wrong, its tears have been 8o plentiful and hot, that when n euu one has appeared who would dono wrony, while tyrants have trembled the multitude has bowed In hoinage before fuch an Incarnation, The right hins neen an admirable thing I all time, It crowned Aristides snd Fabriclus, It hus glorified all statestuen whom It has touched, and In the present and future it will glorify il minds that shiall lean upon it for support., Out of the right have come the resclutions which have founded all the noble States, and which in religlon or politics have borne socloty nearer to happiness. Let us confesa that the right s Leauttful. Home common men have done the right as far as they could iliscern {t, but they could not sea the wholn of ita height and depth. Neither a Crowwell, nora tale. nors Washiniton, nor any of the fathers, could comprehend all thl? wide-spread Justiee, but - we shall fal to mark what ahape of this good es- coped the gaze of Christ. Whether a Ring or & slave was before him, 8 sinful woman or & 1ittle child, He saw at once the justice for each. Ho saly, Jet the fallen reform; ‘the littie chil- dren, let them come to me; let them como to the Lielp and love of those hl?h-r in yeara, 3, Mark the beauty of MHis frlendship and love. It ls easy for the human heart to show {riendship or Juva slong the path of its passion, 1t is easy to love one or a few. It [a easy to cherish & friendship where Interest guides; but to love the world with a love (rec from passion und that dreams of no reward, that is the or- deal that tests the divinolu the boson.

The little child, the h"nu«i the duwmb, the lcpers, the Lazarus despiscd by the rich man, the rich Josoph and Nicodeinus, ruler and soldier, the Dlwrple and the rabble, all cume into the sym- pathy and help of that open hcart. Since.the death and absence of this Lord all the millions of the Chrlstlan lands have felt that there Is or was & love inta which they miht run or could have found refuge fn every storm. 8. How shall weapproach that supreme moral beauty callea rilleed is communly called heroism. n one would rather sufler theu not do sight oruot biess mankind e fs called a hero, The term beinga Greek one, it probably cama down from the tesm that fmplled & most powertul passion, aud at last it becams treed from sll common affectious and stood for a soul that loved futensely sowmu great cause, and for It would dle as sowmec- eart wowd break for love. At , looking futo thst old tongue, you will find a beautifut priestess bear- ing tbe nume of Hero, You flod "at last great nien, s the past enlarged their meniories in his- tory, passiug over 1o this class of heroca—lovers ol a great cause. “The word bero stood once for onlv & lover's devotion, but at length it passod wver.to thuse Jolty oues who can love a country, un age, or who can make a bride of a noble truth and espouse it for life or deatk. Herocs! the lovers of truth! T but to shamy the bumble Leandera! There is a deeper sea of sor- row which lhe{ will cross that they inay mect lIberI{ or relirlon va the farther shore.
