BROOKLYN, March. I. From the f tartlinp flcurc of th: text chosen by the Jtev. Dr. Talmagj iu his sermon in the rirooklyn tabernacle today, the preacher brought ut the radical truths of the Christian religion. It was Faeranicntal day ii th tabernacle. The subject of the permon wt'.s "Chrl.-t. the Cunqueror," the text beins Isaiah lxili. 1, "Who is thl that i-oriR'th from IMom. with lyetl garments from P.ozrah this that is glorious in His sipparel. traveling in the trreatness of Hi strength '." EJmn an 1 Hozrah having l'en the Freue of fierce battle, when tho.e words are u.ccl here or in any other art of the bill. they are figures of frM.h setting forth scenes of severe conflict. As now we often use the worl Waterloo to de.erlle a decisive contest of any kind, po the words I'ozrah and Iv.Ioni in this text are flpnrcs of sieerh descriptive of a ycene of gi-vt .lauphter. Whatever ise the prophet may have meant to describe, he inst certainly meant to depict the Lord Jesus Christ, t-aylns;, "Who Is this that cm-th from Edom. with ryed garments from IJozrah, traveling in the greatness of His strength?" When a general is about to go rut to th wars a Hag and a sword are publicly presented to him and the maidens bring liowers, and the young men load the annon, and the train starts amid a huzza that drowns the thunder of the whcls and th shriek of the whistle. Hut all this will give no idea of the excitement Unit there must have been in heaven when Christ Marted out on the campaign of the world's conquest. If they could have foreseen the siege that would be laid to Him. ami the maltreatment He would suffer, and the burdens He would have to carry, and the battles He would have to f itrlit. I think there would have Inen a million volunteers in heaven who would have insisted on coming along with Him. P.ut no, they only accompanied Him to the gate, their lat fihout heard clear down to the earth, th'e space betw.-i n the two worlds bridged with a great hosann.t. An 1'Mtrieil Soldier. "'nu know there is a wide difference between a man's going ofT to lattl-and coming back again. When he goes off, it is with epaulets untangled, with banner unppecked. with honte sleek and fthlnin? from the groom. All that there is of struggle and pain is to come yet. So it was with Christ. He had not yet fought a. t'Httle. He wan tarting out. and though this world did not give Him a warm-hearted greeting there was a gentle mother who folded Him In her am, and a I!..- finds no difference between a Ptable and a palace, between courtiers and camel drivers. As Jesus steppr.fi f,n thf stage of this world. It was amid ang' lic tdiouts In the galleries and amid the kindest maternal ministration. Hut soon hostil for. i s began to gather. They d"ploed from the sanhedrln. They were ,M;tll-d from the standing army. They came out from the Ceas-ar-arj castles. Tlie vagabonds in the ptre-t joined the gentlemen .f the mansion. Spirits I'le up from hell, nnd In long array then came a force together that threatened to put to rout this newly arrived one from heaven. Jesus now peeing th battle gathering lifted His ". n Btandaid. Hut who gathered about It? How f.'l, I he recruits. A few shoremen, a Mind Iwgjjar. a woman with an ulahnnter box. another woman with two mite and a. group of ft ndless. moneyless arid ritonIenM pop. came to his ptnrvlar.1. What rtmnc" wa there for Him? Nazareth ngaln-t Him. Itethl-i-hetn against Him. Capernaum ngalnst Him. .Jeni-alem against I Urn. IImIIIci. gaJnt I Ilm. The courts The jgnny against Him. against Him. The wuM All li- ll against I Mm. ii if h I up t Hint. The tli rne against lllm. No wondr they asked Him to surrender. Hut lb- could not surrender: He could not. apologize; e could ted take niv back step, (. had come t strike for the i' llvefnte of an enshii d race, and He intift . tin w-ik. Then they ent out their pickets to watch Him They saw In what house lie went and whrn He came out. They wat h -d what He ate and w ho with, what lb drank und how much. They did nut dare to make their final ux.nuM. for they knew not but that behind Him there might be a reinforcement that wn-c not recti. Hut at last the bitll" came. t wa t' b mole tlefee than Horah, DI'iK1 blomly than I et tj sbu:'g.

"Who' I this that rom' th from Irdom. with dyed garments from Hozrah, traveling In tlie grentnesn of Ills fitn-ngth?" We behold here a new i e laflon of a M-?sl and ntnrtllng fa't. People talk r.f t'hrlsf its thoiisti II were gxdrig to do eomethlnc, gr;ind for us arter awhile. He has done It. lw.pl.. talk as though ten or twenty yenrs from now. In the closing hours of .nr life, or In pome terrible pans of life, Jesus will help tip. He baa duiid ihe work already. JIo did Jt

1.861 years ago. You might as well talk of Washington as though he were going to achelve our national Independence in 195i) as to Fpeak of Christ as though He wore olng to achieve our salvation in the fucure. He did It in the year of our Lord S51.SK1 years ago on the field of Hozrah, the captain of our salvation fighting unto the death for your and my emancipation. All we have to do is to accept that fart in our heart of hearts, and w? are free for this world, and we are free for the world to come. But lost we might not accept Christ comes through here today, "traveling in the greatness of His strength," not to tell you that He 1s going to fight for you some battle In the future, but to tell you that th? battle h already fought ar.d the victory already won. You have noticed that when soldiers come home from the wars they carry on their flags the names of the battlefields where they were distinguished. The Knglishman coming back has on his banner Inkcrman and Halaklava; the Frenchman. Jena and Kllau: the Carman. Versallle and Sedan. And Christ has on the banner He carries as conqueror the names of lO.OöO battlefields H won for you and for me. 11" rides past all our homes of bereavement, by the clcwir-txdl swathed In sorrow, by the wardrobe black with woe, by the dismantled fortress r.f our strength. Come out and greet Him today, O ye people! See the names of all the battle passes on His flag. Ye who are poor, read on this ensign the story of Christ's hard crusts and pi How lew head. Ye who are persecuted, read here of the ruffian who chased Him from His t"ut breath to His last. Mighty to sthe your troubles, mighty to balk your calamities, mighty to tread clown your foes, "traveling In the greatness of His strength." Though His horse le brown wdth the dust of the march, and the fetlocks be wet with the carnage, and the bit he red with the blood of your Fpirltual foes. He comes up now, not exhausted from the Kittle, but fresh as when He went into it coming up from Hozrah, "traveling in the greatness of His strength." Hcmv Jesus Trent His Captive. You know that when Augustus and Constantine and Trajan and Titus came back from the wars what a time there was. You know they came? on horseback or in chariots, and there were trophies liefore, and there were captives behind, and there were cple shouting on all sides, and there were garlands flung from the window, and over the highway a triumphal arch was sprung. The solid ma.sonry today at Henevento, Itlmlnl and Rome still tell their admiration for those heroes. And shall we let our conqueror go without lifting any acclaim? Have we not flowers red enough to depict the carnage, white enough to celebrate the victory, fragrant enugh to breathe the Joy? The F men of whom I just spoke dragged their victims at the chariot wheels, but Christ our Lord takes thise who oie e were captives and invites them into Ills chariot to ride, while He puts around them the arm of His strength, saying. '"I have loved thee with an everlasting love, and the water shall not drown it, and the fires shall not burn it, and eternity shall not exhaust It." If this be true I cannot see how any man can carry his sorrows a groat while. If thi conqueror from Hozrah Is going toi beat back all your griefs, why not trust Him? Oh, do you not feel under this gospel your griefs falling back and your tears drying up as you hear the tramp of a thousand Illustrious promises led on by the conqueror from Ho.nih, "traveling in the greatness of His strength?" The llenth of Mn. tin that Friday which the eplscopil church lightly c-dehrntes, calling It "Jood Friday," your oul and mine were contended for. On that day Jesus proved Himself mightier than earth and hell and when the lances struck Him He gathered them up Into a sheaf, as a reaper gathers th grain, and He stacked thern. Mounting the horse of the A h icri ly pse. He roib down through Ihe ages, "traveling In the greatiess of Ills strength." On that day your sin and mine perished. f yve will only lellce It. Th-fe may be some nru here who may say: "I don't like the ci.nv of till conqueror's garments. You tell rue that Ills garments were not only spalbre-d with the blood of conflict, but also t he y w e-re soaked, that they were saturated, that tiny were dyed In II." I admit II. You say you do not like that. Then I quote you wo pnssagc of scripture-: "Without the sIn-iMIng of blood there Is no remlsxloji." "In the blood Is the t one-men I ." Hut It whs mt your blood. It was Ills own. Not only erioiiKh to n-ddi n HI garment" und to re-dd'ti his hmsc. but enough to wind away tin sins of the World. h. the blood on His bov, the blood on Ills hands, the blood on Ills fet, the blood on Ills side! It seems as If tin art.-ry must have --n cut. There Is n fountain lill-1 with blood lirawii from linnuinuT i-in. And slnnem plungd tiene-nth that flood lie nil tlntr guilty status.

They fade awav. Home rail It consumption, fome call it nervous prostration, totuü tail It Intermittent or malarial Uli-

poeltion. but I call it martyrdom of the dornest!. circle. Life for life. Blood for blood. Substitution! Ä Mother's sacrifice. Or perhaps, the mother lingers long enough to fee a son get on the wrong road, and his former kindness becomes rough reply when she expresset anxiety b 1 tit him. Hut he goes right on, looking carefully after his apparet. remembering his every birthday with some memento, and when he is brought homo worn out with dissipation nurses him till he gets well and starts him again and hopes and expects and prays and counsels and suffers until her strength gives out and she falls. She Is going, and attendants, bending over her pillow, ask her If she has any message to leave, and she makes great effort t say foniething. but out of three or four minutes of indistinct utterance they can catch but three words "My poor boy!" The simple fact Is she died for him. Life for life. Substitution! About thirty-three years ago theru went forth from our homs hundreds of thousands of men te do battle for their country. All the tmetry of war soon vanished and left them nothing but the terrible prose. They waded knee deep In mud. They slept in snowbanks. They inarched till their cut feet tracked the earth. They were swindled out of their honest rations and lived on meat not fit for a dog. They had Jaws all fractured, and eyes extinguished, and limbs shot away. Thousands of them cried for water as they lay dying on the field the night after the battle and got It not. They were homesick and received no mereage from their loved ones. They dled In barns. In bushes. In ditches, the buzzards of the summer heat the only attendants on their obsequies. No one but the Infinite Cod. who knows everything, knows the ten thousandth part of the length and breadth and depth and height of anguish of the northern and southern battlefields. Why did these fathers leave their children and go- to the front, and why did these young men. postining the marriage day. start our into the probabilities of never coming back? For the country they died. Life for life. Blood for blood. Substitution! Hut we need not go so far. "What is that monument in Greenwood? Is it to the doctors who fell in the southern epidemics. Why go? Were there not enough sick to be attended in these northern latitudes? Oh, yes, but the doctor puts a few medical books in his valise and some vials of medicine, and leaves his patients here In the hands of other physicians, and takes the rail train. IJefore he gets to the infected regions he passes crowded rail trains, regular and extra, taking the flying and affrightened populations. He arrives In a city over which a great horror is brooding. He gof from couch to couch, feeling the pulse and studying of symptoms, and prescribing day after day, night after night, until a fellow physician says: "Iioctor, you had better go home and rest. You look miserable." Hut he cannot rest while so many are suffering. On and on until some morning finds him In a delirium, in which he talks of home and then rise and says he must go and look after those patients. H Is told to lie down, but he lights his attendants until he falls back and Is weaker and weaker and elies for people with whom he had no kinship, and far away from his own family, and Is hastily put away in a stranger's tomb, and only the fifth part of a newspaper line tells us of his sacrifice his name just mentioned among five. Yet he has touched the furthest hciKht of sublimity In that thrve weeks of humanitarian service. He g.-rs straight on as an arrow to the bosom of Him who said. "I was

sick, and ye visited me." Life for Wood for blood. Substitution! Some of our modern theologians want te slve Coil lessons about the life. who best way to save the world tell us they not want to take this horse by the do bit and hurl him bac k on his haunches and tell this rider from Hozrah to go around some ther way. Look out. b-st ye fall tinder the Hying hoofs on this horse; lest ye go down und r the sword of this emiqueror from Horah! What meant the blood of the plgif.ns in the old dispensation, the blood of the bullock, the bloo.l of the heifer, the blood of the lamb? It meant to prophesy tin cleansing blood, the pardoning blood, the healing blood of this coiupieror who comes up from 11. 7.i all. "traveling In the greatness of His strength." I catch a handful of toe red b'tTcit that rushes out from the lu-art of tlie Lord, and I throw It over this audie nce-, hoping that one drop of Its cleansing ower Je-siis. souls! queror may come upon your soul. ( In that crluis hi tide wash our We acce pt thy sa rillce! Conof llozriih. have mercy upon us! We throw our garments In the way! We fall Into line! Illdee on, Jesus, ride on! "Traveling, traveling Is Ihe grenlness of Thy strength." Hut after awhile the returning conqueror will reach the gate, and all the firmier of the saved will be with Him, I hope you Will be there and I Will be there. A we go tht'otiRh the gate nnd around about the throne for th revew, "it great multitude that no man cun number" all heaven can tell us without asking right a way which one .lee-im, Hot only been use of the brightness of His face, but because, While fhe other 111. habitants In glory are robed In while -saints In while, ' c herubim In w hite, seraphim In white His tnlm shall Im scarlet, even the ilve.l untrue-lit or Hoy,nth.
