CHRIST THE CONQUEROR. A Sacramental Sermon by Rev. T. . DeWitt Talmage. ■What Christ Has Hone for Man Man Is Constantly Doing for Those Depend, ant (Tpon Him in the -Home Circle.

The following sacramental discourse on the subject: “Christ the Conqueror” was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talm&ge in the Brooklyn tabernacle, the text being: Who is this that cometh from Edom, with garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength?—Isaiah lxiii. Edom and Bozrah, having' been the mcene of fierce battle, when those words are used here or in any other part of the Bible, they are figures of speech setting forth scenes of severe ■conflict As now we often use the word Waterloo to-describe a decisive •contest of any kind, so the words BozTah and Edom in this text are figures -of speech descriptive of 9 scene of great slaughter. Whatever else the prophet may have meant to describe, lie most certainly meant to depict the liord Jesus Christ, saying: “Who is that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, traveling in the greatness of his strength? When a general is about to go out to the wars, a flag and a sword are publicly presented to him, and the maidens bring flowers, and^the young men load the cannon, and the train «turts amid a huzza that drowns the thunder of the wheels and the shiiek of the whistle. But all this will give no idea of the excitement that there must have been in Heaven when Christ started out on the campaign of the world’s conquest. If they could have foreseen the siege that would be laid to Him, and the maltreatment He would suffer, and the burdens He would have to carry, and the battles He would have to fight, I think there would have been a million volunteers in Heaven who would have insisted on coming %long yith Him; but no, they pnly accompanied Sim to the gate, their last shout heard clear down to the earth, the spaee between the two worlds bridged with a great hosanna. You know therfe is a wide difference 'between a man’s going off to battle and doming back again. When he goes off, it is with epaulets untangled, with banner unspecked, with horses sleek au<1 shining from the groom. All that there is of struggle and pain is to come yet. .So it was with Christ. JHe had not yet fought a battle: He was starting out, and though this world did not give Him a warm-hearted gp-eeting, there was a gentle mother who folded Him in her arms; and a babe finds no difference between a stable and a palace, between courtiers and camel-drivers. As Jesus stepped on the stage of this world, it was amidst angelic shouts in the galleries and amidst the kindest maternal administrations. But soon hostile forces began to gather. They deployed from the Sanhedrim: They were detailed from the standing army. ' They came out from the Cmsarean, castles. The vagabonds in the street joined the gentlemen of the mansion. Spirits rode up from hell, and in long array there came a force together that threatened to put to rout this newlyarrived one from Heaven. Jesus now seeing the battle gathering lifted His own standard; but who gathered about it? How feeble the recruits! A few shoremen, a blind beg5gar, a woman with an alabaster box, another woman with two mites, and a group of friendless, moneyless and positionless people came to His standard. What chance was there for Him? Nazareth against Him. Bethlehem :against Him. Capernaum against Him. Jerusalem against Him. Galilee against Him. The courts against Him. The army against Him. The throne against Him. The world against nim. All hell against Him. No wonder they asked Him to surrender. But He ■could not surrender, He could not apologize, He could not take any back steps. He had come to strike for the deliverance of an enslaved race, and He must do the work. Then they sent out their pickets to watch Him. They saw in what house He went, and when He'came out. They watched what He Ate, and who with; what He drank, And how much. r-They did not dare to make their final assault, for they knew not but that behind Him there might be re-enforcement that was not seen. .But at last the battle came. It was to (be more fierce than Bozrah, more bloody than Gettysburg,' involving more than Austerlitz, more combatants employed than at' Chalons, a ghastlier conflict than all the battles of the earth together, though Edmund Burke’s estimate of thirty-five thouisand millions of the slain be accurate. The day. was Friday. The hour was between 12 and S o’clock. The field was a slight hillock northwest of Jeru

salem. 1 he forces engraved were earth and hell, joined as allies, on one side, and.-Heaven represented by a solitary inhabitant, on the other. The hour came. Oh, what a time it was! I think that that day the universe looked on. The spirits that «ocld be spared from the heavenly -temple, and could get conveyance of -wing or chariot, came down from above, and spirits getting furlough from beneath came up, and they list-j -ened, and they looked, and they watched. Oh, what an uneven battle! % ‘Two worlds armed on 'one side; an unarmed man on the other. The regiment of the Roman army at that time stationed at Jerusalem began the attack. They knew how to fight, for they belonged to the most thoroughly/ -driled army of all the world: With spears glittering in the sun they charge up the hill. The Horses prance and rear amidst the excitement of the populace—the Heels of the riders plunged in the flanks, urging them on. The weapons begin to tell nn Christ. See how faint He looks. There the blood starts, and there, and there, and there. If He is

J to have reinforcements let Him call them up now. No; He must do this work alone—alone. He is dying. Feel for yourself of the wrist; the pulse is feebler. Feel under the arm; the warmth is less. He is dying. Ay, they pronounce Him dead. And just at that moment that they pronounced Him dead He rallied, and from His wounds He unsheathed a weapon which staggered the Roman legions down the hill and hurled the Satanic battalions into the pit. It wasa weapon of love—infinite love, all-conquering love. Mightier tha n javelin or spear. It triumphed oyer all. Put back, ye armies of earth and hell! The tide of battle turns. Jesus hath overcome. Let the people stand apart and make a line, that He may pass down from Calvary to Jerusalem9, and thence on and out all around the world. The battle is fought. The victory is achieved. The triumphal Jftarch is begun. Hark to the hoofs ofy the warrior's steed, and the tramping of a great multitude! for He has many friends now. The Hero of earth and Heaven advances. Cheer! cheer! “Who «s this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from llozrah, traveling in the greatness of His strength?”

»> e behold here a new revelation of a blessed and startling* fact. People talk of Christ as though He were going to do something grand for us after awhile. He has done it. People talk as though, ten or twenty years from now, in the closing hours of our life, or in some terrible pass of life, Jesus will help us. He has done the work already. He did it eighteen hundred and sixty-one years ago. You might as well talk of Washington as though be were going to achieve our national •independence in 1950, as to speak of Christ as though He was going to achieve our salvation in the future. He did it in the year of our Lord S3, eighteen hundred and sixty-one years ago, on the field of Hozrah. the captain of our salvation fighting unto death for your and my emancipation. All we have to do is to accept that fact in our heart of hearts, and we are free for this world and we are free for the world to come. But, lest we might not accepts Christ comes through here to-day, “traveling in the greatness of His strength,” not to tell you that He is going to fight for you some battle in the future, but to tell you that the battle is already fought, and 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 Englishman coming back has on his banner Inkermann and Balaklava; the Frenchman, Jena and Eylhu; the German. Versailles and Sedan. And Christ has on the banner He carries as conqnerer the names of ten thousand Sittlefields HeJwon for you and for me. e rides past all our homes of bereavement—by the door bell swathed in sorrow, by the wardrobe black with woe, by the dismantled fortress of 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 pillowless head. Ye who are persecuted read here of the ruffians who chased Him from His first breath to His last. Mighty to soothe your troubles, mighty to balk your foes, “traveling in the greatness of His strength.” Though the horse be brown with the dust of His master,and the fetlocks be wet with the carnage, and the bit be red "with the blood of your spiritual fees, He comes up now, not exhausted from the battle, but fresh as when He went into it—coming up from Bozrah, “traveling in the greatness of His strength.” You know that when Augustus, and Constantine, and Trajan, and Titus cams back from the wars what a time there was. You know they eame on horseback or in chariots, and there were trophies before and there were captives behind, and there ffrere people shouting from all sides, and there were garlands flung from the windows, and over the highway a triumphal arch was sprung. The solid masonry to-day at Beneventum, Rimini and Rome still tell their admiration of their 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 enough to breathe the joy? Those men of whom I just spoke dragged their victims at the chariot wheels; but Christ, our Lord, takes those who once were captives Suad invites them into His chariot to ride; while He puts around them the arm of His strength, saying: “I have loved thee with an everlasting love, and the waters shall not drown it, and the fires shall not burn it, and eternity shall not exhaust it.” If this be true, I can not see how any man can carry his sorrows a great while. If this Conqueror from Bozrah 4s going to 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 Bozrali, “traveling1, traveling; in the greatness of His strength?” On that Friday which the Episcopal church rightly celebrates, calling it “Good Friday,” your soul 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 the grain, and He stacked them. Mounting the horse of the Apocalypse, He rode down through the ages, *‘traveling in the greatness of His strength.” On that tday your sin and mine perished, if we will* only believe it. There may be some one here who may say: “I don’t like the color of this Conqueror’s garments. You tell me that His garments were not only spattered with “the blood of conflict, but also that th«y were soaked, that they were saturated, that they were dyed in it I admit it. You say you do not like that. Then I quote to you two passages of Scriptura: “Without

| the shedding' of blood there is no re1 mission.” “In the blood is the atonement.” But it was not your blood. It was His own. Not only enough to redden His garments and to redden His horse, but enough to wash away the sins of the world. Oh, the blood on His brow, the blood on His bants, the blood on His feet,the blood on His side! It seems as if an artery must hare been cut. There is a fountain filled with blood ; Drawn from Emmanuel's reins, i And sinners plunged beneath that flood | • Lose all their guilty stains. Or perhaps the mother lingers long

enougn to see a son pet on tne wrong road and his former kindness becomes rough reply when she expresses anxiety about him. But she goes right on, looking carefully after his apparel, remembering his every birthday with some memento, and when he is brought home 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 fails. She is going, and attendants, bending over her pillow, ask her if she has any message to leave, and she makes great effort to say something, 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-four years ago there went forth from our .homes hundreds of thousands of men to do battle for their country. All the poetry of battle soon vanished and left them nothing but the terrible prose. They waded knee-deep in mud. They slept in snowbanks. They marched till their cut feet tracked the earth. They werer swindled out of their honest rations, and lived on meal 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 message for their loved ones. They died in barns, in bushes, in ditches, the buzzards of the summer heat the only attendant on their obsequies. No one but the infinite God who knows everything, knows the ten thousandth part of the length, and breadth, and depth, 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, postponing the marriage day, start out into the probabilities of never coming back! For the country they died. Life for life. Blood for blood. Substitution! But we need not go so far. What is that monument in Greenwood?' It is to the doctors who fell in the southern epidemics. Why go? Were there not enough sick to be ^attended in these northern lttitudes? Oh, ves; but the doctor puts a few medical books |n his valise, and some,vials of medicine, and leaves his patients here in the hands of other physicians, and takes the rail-train. Before he gets to the infected regions he passes crowded rail-trains, regular and extra, taking the flying and affrighted populations. He arrives in a city over which a great horror is brooding. He goes from couch to couch, feeling of pulse and studying symptoms, and prescribing day after day, night after night, until a fellow physician says: “Doctor, you had better go home' and rest; you look miserable,” But he can not rest while so many are suffering. On and on, until some Jmorning finds him in a delirium, in which he talks of,, home, and then rises and says he-must go and look after those patients. He is told to lie down; but he fights his attendants until he falls back, and is weaker and weaker, and dies 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 linetells us of his sacrifice—his name just mentioned among five. Yet he has touched the furthest height of' sublim-ity-in that three weeks of humanitarian service. He goes straight as. an arrow to the bosom of Him ^ho said: “I was sick and ye visited Me.” Life for life. Blood for blood. Substitution!

Some of our m odern theologians who want to give God lessons about the best way to save the world tell us they do not want any blood in their redemption. They want to take His horse by the bit and hurl him back on his haunches and tell this rider from Bozrah to go around some otner way. Look out, lest ye fall under the flying hoof of His horse; lest ye go down under the sword of this Conqueror from Bozrah. What meant the bfood of the pigeons in the old dispensation? the blood of the Bullock? the blood of the heifer? of the lamb? It meant to prophesy the cleansing blood of this Conqueror who came from Bozrah, “traveling in the greatness of His strength.” I catch a handful of the red torrent that rushes .put from the heart of the Lord, and now I throw it over this audience, hoping that one drop of its cleansing power may come upon your soul. O Jesus! in that crimson tide wash' our souls! We accept Thy sacrifice! Conqueror Bozrah, have mercy upon us! We throw our garments in the way! We fall into line! Ride oh, Jesus, ride on! “Traveling, traveling in the greatness of Thy strength.” But after awhile, the returning Conqueror will reach the gate, and all the armies of the saved will be with Him. I hope you will be there, and I will be there. As we go through the gate and around about the throne for the review, “a great multitude that no man. can c number”—all Heaven can tell without asking, right away, which one is Jesus, not only because of the brightness of His face, but because, while the other inhabitants in glory are robed in white—saints in white, cherubim in white, seraphim in white—His robes shall be scarlet, even the dyed garments of Bozrah. I catch a glimpse of that triumphant joy, but the gates open and shut so quickly I can hear only half a sentence, and it is this: “Unto 'Him who hath washed us in His blood!”

THE LIE DIRECT, Emphuii td by a Bis Bis "D," sad In Print at That, Leads to s Most Lamentable Tra redy on the Street In Kosciusko, *tofc-4 A. Jackson, a Member of the I«S>sIa are. Instantly Killed by Rev. W. P. Rati fife, a Fellow Member, and Two Innocer t Bystanders Mortally Wounded. ~ Memphis. Tenn.. March 4.—The most sensational tragedy in the history of Mississippi occurred at Koisciusko, the county *eat of Attala county, yesterday.

S. A. « ackson, a member of the st.ite legislature and one of the most prominent pc .iticiins in the state, was shot and instantly killed, and Samuel Russell and William Sanders, two innocent bystanders, were fatally wounded by Rev. W. P. Ratliffe, also a member of the legislature and one of the leaders of the populist party in M ississippL The tragedy was the culmination of a political feud of long standing which was brought to a climax by a.bitter newspaper controversy. Ratliffe published s.n editorial in his paper, the Vindicator, reflecting on Jackson’s rote in the recent contest in the legislature over the election of a successor to United States Senator Walthall. Jackson replied in a card in another paper in which he denounced Ratliffe as a liar. The t wo men met at the courthouse* in Koscivsko yesterday, *for the first time since the publication of Jackson’s article. There was a large crowd on hand attending a bankrupt sale by thesheriff. No one noticed t he meeting of the two men until they began scuffling in the courthouse dopr. Both Ratliffe and Jackson pulled tlieir revolvers and began a terrible duel to the death. When the smoke of battle cleared away Jackson was found with a bullet hole in his forehead, while his right arm near t ie shoulder was shattered by a glancing shot aimed at his head. A few feet away lay Saipnel Russell and William Sanders, two bystanders, with mortal wounds. Russell was shot through the head and expired in a few minutes. Sanders was shot in the thigh, and was expected to die before morning. «> Rat iffe discharged every ebamber of his revolver and finding that he had no more ammunition, he coolly stood and watched the writhing of his victims, until the sheriff arrested him and took him to jail. Rev. W. P. Ratliffe was the populist nominee against John S. Williams, demo- rat, of Yazoo City, at the election ia 1892, but he did not Carry a single county in the district. The following is the article that appeared in the Vindicator, Mr. ltatliffe’s paper: ▲ ST AT JEM ENT. sJ Mr. Jackson says we misrepresented him when ve said he voted for Col. Nugent in the caucus. If it is any gratification to Mr. Jackson we will say he Toted for Mr. Nugent in the joint convention- He may have voted for him in the caucus, nobody knows: for that was by secret ballot. What We said about the incident was in a spirit of levity, but Mr. Jackson seems to moke something else out of it. We will now give him the opportunity to emphasize that he has the distinction of being the only democrat who voted for a populist far United States senator. We reiterate every statement made in our last week s article, save that it all happened in joint convention, which fact only places him in a more ridiculous attitude If there is any consolation in this correction to Mr Jackson, he is welcome to it; but lest he should think that it is subject to comment, we will now call the previous question on the whole concern. [Signed] > W. P. Ratliffe. ' The following is Jackson's card, which- appeared in the Kosciusko Star: a card, ' When Andrew Jackson was president, he appointed in this state one John Smith as Indian agent John Smith was detected in some crookedness by the lamented Greenwood Leflore. who preferred charges against Smith before the administration without avail. The chief, not satisfied, went on to Washington and confronted the president, when this colloquy ensued: “I, Andrew Jackson, president of the United Stales, know Mr. Smith to be an honest man. ” The chief drew himself to his full height and with his keen, searching black eyes steadily lived on the old hero, said: • “I. Greenwood Lefiore, chief of the Choctaw nation, know Mr. Sm: th to be a damned rascal.’’ It is unnecessary to say the previous question was lost and Dr. Smith was removed. In citing the above history, 1 will add an am- ndme&t to future history in Attala county, to-wit: “I, W. P. Ratliffe, populite representative from Attala county in the Mississippi legislature, emphasize that S. A. Jackson, democratic representative from Attala county, voted for a populite for the United States senate. "IS. A. Jackson, democratic representative from Attala county in the Mississippi legislature, emphasize that W. P. Ratliffe. populite representative from Attala county, is an infernal damned liar," ’ As to the previous question on the amendment, Ratliffe can make any move he desires. | Signed.] S. A. Jackson. Ratliffe was seen in jail last night and asked for a statement, but he refused tc talk, further than to say that he shot Jackson in self-defense. Jackson was a prominent merchant of Kosciusko, and was reputed to be a wealthy man. He leaves a widow and several children. Russell and Sanders, the bystanders who were shot, were farmers. The jail is strongly guarded to prevent Ratliffe being lynched by Jackson’s friends. _

A VICTORY FOR SILVER. The Puuce <of the Bland Srlfnlarate Coinage Bill In the House of Representatives—A Glance Backward Over the » Four Weeks' Struggle of the Missouri CongressDnan for the Uife of ills Bill and the Methods Resorted to by the disposition to Drive Bias From His FuselWas ruse ton,'March 2.—The struggle in the house which closed yesterday in a victory for silver, has been a most eventfol one. ** The quorum which appeared Wednesday was the same now-here, now-there quantity as for the past two or three weeks, (hi several occasions the vote almost reached the quorum point; was so large in fact that it evidently frightened the opponents of the bill. Then the high-water mark would at once be lowered. Wednesday afternoon the tide went up again and a quorum vote was announced with cheers and -great satisfaction on all sides, satisfaction even on the part of the enemies of the bill, in that the deadlock was broken. But again wrangling ensued, peace fled and the quorum went with it. So, when the house met yesterday mornibg,, no one knew what the situation was.

x he nrst roil call which made an end of the matter barely reached the necessarr limit, the speaker having' to votf to make the-quorum. THE RESORT TO FILIBUSTERING. The *art of filibustering, which has developed so rapidly and to &ich perfection of late, has seldom been more forcefully and aptly applied than in the present case. The bill . just passed was brought into, the house four weeks ago, the day after the passage of the Wilson bill. No one expected such a straggle. Everyone knew that the eastern and anti-silver democrats were opposed to it, but the objection was deemed of minor importance and not worthy of active and vigorous treatment;. In fact, the friends of the bill say that if Representative Burrows, of Michigan, had not gone over to Gen. Tracey, of New York, and urged him io begin quorum-breaking, and promised him the support of the republican side of the house, the figiit would never have been made, ~ ? But Mr. Burrovm did, and Mr. Tracey co-operated: Immediately all sorts of arguments were raised against the passage of the bill,, and even against the coinage of the seigniorage as provided for in its first section. These stories grew and grew, beginning with the eastern objection to what was termed a silver “inflation of the *currency,” going along the line- of various whispers of Carlisle opposition, and finally ending in flat, announcements from those who pretended to know, that the president would never allow the bill to become a law. PROVISIONS OP THE. BILL. The bill itself provides, first, that the more than1 $50,000,DOG worth of bullion counted as seigniorage from the purchases under- the- Sherman law, be at once coined into silver dollars, and that Sherman notes-be at onee issued upon the seigniorage in anticipation of its actual coinage. This had long been promised by the anti-silver forces in the government. It is generally admitted that the seigniorage is there. The first opposition to the bill oo the ground that the seigniorage was a fictitious and uncertain, quantity was soon dispeled. It could be easily shown by figures from the treasury department that there was enough of the bullion on hand to be aoined into more than $50,000,000' of the- amount ©if the Sherman notes outstanding, issued in the purchase of the bullion. This first opposition silenced, the next onslaught was at a second section of the new.bill. Over this all of the subsequent- lang-drawn-qut struggle took place. The- second section provided originally that after the 950,000,000 seigniorage is coined the secretary of the treasury shall immediately begin to coin, as- fast as- possible,' the remainder of the bullion in the treasury. It further provides that whenever the Sherman notes issued in the purchase of the bullion get into the treasury they shall be canceled and hot be sent out again; This cancellation is to go on in amounts- equal to the coinage. To make it-plainer, ht other words, as the Sherman, notes-come into the treasury they shall be canceled in amounts sufficient, to tally with the amoaat of bullion coined into standard dol lars. The only currency thereafter to be issued upon the coined bullion is to be silver certificates-of deposit.

AROUSED THE ANTI-SILVER HEN. It will be- seen that this s action was really, sufficient to stir up opposition, and, if passed, it will be no little victory for silver. The opposition to it was stated in many ways. First, it was said that the withdraws! from circulation of the bimetallie Sherman notes, that is, notes redeem ible either in gold or silver, and the si bstitution for them of monometallic silver certificates would greatly dej: reciate the currency. It was stated as another bond-issue bugaboo, that as soon as 1 his second section becomes a law people with Sherman notes would heeotr e alarmed, fearing that they would be paid in silver, would at once make rush upon, the gold reserve, demand! lg the redemption of their Sherman notes hr gold, and thus, necessitate a nother immediate bond issue* * - d . THREE EXCITING WEi KS. This last argument was urged wJtto sufficient strength to bri g about an amendment ef the original bill by its friends. Through the last, hree weeks there has been little discus: ion. These have been three weeks of q aonstna seeking, three weeks of absentee arrests and three weeks of gene *al disorder and disturbance. Such a pi liable plight has the majority party :ee* in that more than one question o f graver import than the pending hO have arise* Members have defied the authority of tlie house in the matte of arrests. Warrants of the sergSUUl Rt-nrms have been laughed at.
