matter of anger. We may rest assured that there is no human feeling which needs so much cautious guarding as this. A sinless wrath is a very rare thing. The wrath of man is seldom for the glory of God. In every case a righteous indignation should he mingled with grief and sorrow for those who cause it, even as it was in the case of our Lord. And this, at all events, we may be sure of — it is better never to be angry, than to be angry and sin.*
