Lord Jaam Will Krmrmbtr M (ht Fallblul Soldier of the Cross ' ? lloroes seutl Mnrtyra of Kr?r)(ln> Lift, tCopyrl^ht, 1001. by I.outs Klopsch.J Washington. Feb. 114. In this discourse Dr. Talmnge praises viurisnan iioroistu nnu tells ot B^B great rewards. The text is Galatiuna ^^^B vi., 17, "I bear in my body the mavks of the Lord Jesus." . v We hear much about crowns, thrones, viotories, but I now tell the more ^'jiet story of Bears, honorable and dishonorable. There are in all parts ot the world people bearing dishonorable sours. They went into the battle of sin and were worsted, and to their dying day they will have a scarification of body or mind or soul. It cannot be hidden. There n:c tens of thousands of men and women now consecrated to God and living holy lives who were once corrupt; but they have been regenerated, and they are no more what they once were than rubescence is emaciation, than balm Is vitriol, than noonday is midnight. But in their depleted physical health or mental twist or style >f temptation tlicy are. ever and anon rekuindod of tho obnoxious past. They have n memory that is deplorIn some twinpe of pain or some tendency to surrender to tho wrong they have an unwholesome, reminiscence. They carry scars, deep scars, ignoble scars. But Paul in my text shows ns a scarification which is a bndgo of honorable and self-sncriflcing service. He had in his weak eyes tho result hof too much study and in his body, bent and worn, tho signature of scourgings and shipwrecks and maltreatment by mobs. In my text he hows thoso scars ns ho declares, "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." Kotico that it is not wounds, but scars, and a scar is a healed wound. Before the sear is well defined upon tho flesh tho inflammation must have departed and right circulation must have been restored and new tissue must have been formed. It is a permanent indentation of the flesh?a cicatrix. I Paul did well to show thoso scars. They were positive and undisputable proofs that with all his body, mind and soul he believed what he said. They were his diploma, showing that he had graduated from the school of ^^B^r hardship for Christ. They were credentials proving his right to lead in the world's evangelization. Men are not ashamed of scars got In battle for their county. No Amerioan is embarrassed when you ask him: "Where did you get that gash across your forehead?" and he can answer: "That was from a saber V out at San Juan." When you nsk some German: "Where did you lose jjj your right arm?" lie is not ashamed Hf to aay: "I lost it at Sedan." When you ask an Italian: "Where did you V loss your eye?" lie ia not annoyed when he can answer. "I fullered that W in the last battle under our glorious Gen. Garibaldi." But I remind you [ of the fact that there are scar-i not got In war which arc just as illusHMfljV IrioUI. We hafl ln tbis cruntvy years ago an eminent advocate who was called into the presidential cabinet aa attorney general. In midlife he tt was in a Philadelphia courtroom enB f^stg-ed In nn important trial. The atH torney on the opposite side of the H case got irritated and angry and in H most brutal manner referred to the distinguished attornej-'s disfigured 9 face, a face more deeply scarred than any faoo I ever saw. The legal hero B of whom I am speaking in his closing argument said: "Gentlemen of tha jury, when I was a little child I was playing with my 6ister in the nursery, and her lotlies caught fire, and I ran to her to put out the fire. rZ succeeded, but I myself took fire, and before it was extinguished my faoo was awfully burned and as black as the heart of the scoundrelly couneel who on the other side of the case has referred to my misfortune." The eminent attorney of whom I speak oarried all liis life the honorable scar of his sister's rescue. Albert Barnes, tha most distinguished of all com- | ensntators, unless it be Matthew Henry, for years at four o'clock in the morning might have been seen r going from bis houso in Philadelphia to his study in the church and in those early hours and boforo breakfast to give all those wonderful commentaries, a theological library in themselves. lie said that as lie was v.~ ..!? 1 -1 - ^ ?f*?m VV/4 uo 1C1?

At IBi! (this time in this capital city there aro aaores of men wearing themselves I S out in tho public service. In ten H yeara they will not have a licalthy S nsrve left in their body. In com mittee rooms, in consultations that I involve the welfare of the nation, unI dsr the weight of great responsibilia ties, their vitality is beii :ted.

No man that was ever put to death by sword or instrument of torture was more of a martyr then that man who has been wrung to death by the demands of official position. Tho scars may not be visible, for these are scars on the brain, and scars on the nerve and scars on the heart, but nevertheless are they scarB, and God counts them and their reward will be abundant. In all lands there are veterans ef war who may not liavo ha<l their face craped with ono bullet or their foot lamed by ono bursting shell and who could not roll up tholr sleeve and show you one mark suggestive of battle, yet carry with them weaknesses pot In exposures to disease along malarial swamps or from many miles of marching, and ever and anon they foel a twinge of pain, each recurrence of which is sharper or more lasting, until after awhile they will be captured for the tomb by disorders which started 20 or 30 or 40 years before. And their scars are all unseen by human eyes. But those people aro as certainly the victims of war as though they had been blown up in an undermined fortress or thrust through with a cavalryman's lance. What I want to make out Is that there are scars which are never counted except as God counts them, and I want to enlarge your sympathies. There are many who can. In the same sense that Paul uttered It, say: "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus"?that is, for the sake of Christ and Ilis cause they carry scars which keep their indenture through all time and all eternity. Do you think that Paul was accurate when he said that? If you have studied his career, you have no doubt of it. In his youth he learned how to fashion the hair of the Cilician goat into canvas, a quiet trade, and then went to college, the president of which was Gamaliel, an institution which scholars say could not have been very thorough because of what they call Paul's imperfect command of Greek syntax. Rut his history became exciting on the road to Damascus, where he was unhorsed and blinded. His conversion was a convulsion. Whether that fall from the horse may have left a mark upon him I know not, but the mob soon took after him and flogged and Imprisoned and maltreated him until ho had scars more thah enough to assure the truthfulness of lit. *T ? U.J. it. uin uciciauvc. x ucai All UJJ UUUJ me marks of the Lord Jesus." AH of Paul's suffering was for Christ's sake. lie had intellectual powers which could have achieved for him all worldly successes. You see what he could do In a courtroom when with extemporaneous speech ha made the Judicial bench tremble; wheu on Mars hill he confounded the Athenian critics; when he preached amid tha ex;itement of a tumbling penitentiary; ivhen in a storm at sea he took command of the ship, the only one on board ool headed. With his inspired logic, and his courage of utterance, and his power of illustration, and his capacity to move audiences, and his spirit of defiance, there was no height of worldly pmer he might not have gained. What Hannibal was to an army, what Draco was in making laws, what Homer was to poetry, what Demosthenes was in power of persuasion, what Socrates wos to-philosophy, whatAeschylus was to the drama, that Paul might have been to all centuries. God never before and never since made another human being like bim. But with all his capacity and opportunity of achieving worldly renow n he turns his back on home and becomes an exile, on bounteous tables and eats. his hard crust by the roadside, on the pleasure yachts that sailed the Mediterranean and embarked on a freightboat from Alexandria, on tcholars in Athens ?Dd talks to fishermen. Instead of plaudits of aroused and enthusiastic assemblages he addressed audiences that talked back and asked insolent questions end broke up in a riot. Instead of garlands flung at his feet they hurled stones upon his head. Five times he was scourged, at each whipping AO strokes, the fortieth stroke spared not from mercy, but because 40 strokes were the severest punishment the Swallowed, and they feared, through counting wrong, they xwight make it 41 and so themselves be punished. Why, Paul must Lave been eoarred all over, and be onlv tells the nlain truth without any commentary when ha declares: "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." It wa-i as much as to say: "See those long scars? There ia where they whipped me. See you that ugly indenture. That is where they Sytoned nie. Sea you that enoirling soar on my wrist? That is where they handcuffed me. See those ugly curves around my ankles? There is wbirt they made my feet fast in the stocks." There ore many who, like that apostolic martyr, have on them the mark of the Lord Jesus. There is the great army of foreign missionaries, sometiroes maligned by dissolute American, English and Scotch merchants, who at Hong-Kong and Calcutta and Constantinople have had tbeir wickedness reproved by the pure home life of these missionaries. There is the great army of tha ministers of the Gospel, now in Heaven, who, on small salaries and amid fatigues that slew them, served their day and geaeration. There ia another great aruiy of private Christians who, in Sabbath schools and in tract distribution and in humanitarian and evangelistic efforts have put their life in sacrifice on tbe altars of God. There Is another army of Christian Invaders who lost their life in overwork for the church and the world's redemption. People call their illness neura or nervous prostration or insomnia or paresis or premature old age. I call their ailments scars, as ray text calls them scars. There suaj be acars on tha .Slept a.

All ye who bear In your body the marks of the Lord Jesus have you thought what use those marks will be In the heavenly world? VCnat source of glorious reminiscence! In that world you will sit together and talk over earthly experiences. "Where did you get that soar?" saint will say to saint, and there trill come back a story of hardship and struggle and persecation and wounds and victory through the grace of the Gospel. Another spirit will eay to listening spirit: "Where did you get that hurt so plainly marked?" And the answer will be: **Oh, that was one of the worst hurts I ever had. That was a broken friendship. We were In sweetest aceord for years, together in Joy and sorrow. What one thought the other thought. We were David and Jonathan. But our personal interests parted, and our friendships broke never te be renewed on earth. But we have made It all up here, and misunderstandings are gone, and we are In the same Heaven, on neighboring thrones, in neighboring oastles on the bankj of the same river." "Where did yen gat that mark?" aays another spirit tc listening spirit, and the answer comcn: "That la a reminder of a groat bereavament. .of a desolated household, of a deep grave, of all the heartstrings at one stroke snapped altogether. But you eee It ia no lenger a laceration, for the wound has bsen healed, and my once bereft spirit la now in companionship with the one from whom for awhile I wae separated." "Where did you get that long, deep scar?" says another Immortal to listening immortal, and the answer comes: "That was the awful fatigue of a lifetime struggle in attempting amid adverse circumstances to achieve a livelihood. For 30 years I was tired?oh, so tired I But you ace it is a healed wound, for I have found rest at last for body and soul, the complete rest, the everlasting rest, that remalneth for the people of God." Some one in Heaven will aay to Martyr John Rogers: "Where did you get that scar on your foot?" and tha answer will come: "Oh, that was a burn I suffered when the flames of martyrdom were kindled beneath me!" "Ignatius, what is that mark on your cheek?" "Oh, that was made by the paw of the lion to which I was thrown by the order of TrajanI" Some ene will say to Paul| "Great apostle, that must have been a deep out once, the mark which I see on year neok." And Paul says: "That was made by the swerd which struck me at my bthead merit on the read to Ostla." But we all have ecars of lomt kind, and those are ssaao of the things we will talk over In the heavenly world while we celebrate the ffraoe that made ua triumphant over all agnostioism. Now what is the practical use of this subject? It is the cultivation of Christian heroics. The most of us want tc say things and do things for God when there is no danger of getting hurt. We are all ready for easy work, for popular work, for compensating work, hut we all gTeatly need more courage to brave the world and brave satauio assault when there is something aggressive and bold and dangerous to be undertake* for God and righteousness. And if wo happen to get bit what an adieu we make about it! We all need more of the stuff that martyra are made out of. We want mora sanctified grit, more Christian pluck, more holy recklessness as to what the world may say and do la any crisis of our life. Be right and do right, and all earth and hell combined pannot put you down. The same little missionary who wrote my text aleo uttered that piled up magnificence to be found in those werds which ring like battle axes on splitting helmets: "In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that lovsd us, for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels. nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creatnre, shall bo able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." llow do you like that, you cowards, who shrink back from aggressive work and if so much ns a splinter pierce your flesh cry out louder than many a one torn in aut?o da fs? Many a soldier baa gone through a long vrar, been in >0 battles, led a regiment up a hill mounted by cannon and swept by musketry and yet came home without having been onca hit and without a mark upon him. But it will not be so among those who pass in the grand review of Heaven. They have all in the holy w ars been wounded, and all bear scars. Aad what would the newly arrived in Heaven do with nothing to show that he had ever been struck by L uman or diabolio weaponry; how embarrassed and eccentrio such an one in such a placet Eurcly) hoi would want to bo excused awhile from the heavenly ranks and be permitted to descend on earth, crying: "Give me another chance to do something worthy of an immortal. Show mo some post of danger to bo manned, scrne fortress to bs stormed, some difficult charge to make. Like Leonidns at Thermopylae, like Miltlades at Marathon, like Marlborough at Blenheim, like Godfrey at Jerusalem, like Wlnkslried at 8am* pach gathering the spears of the Austrian knights into his bosom, giving hi* life for others, show mo some place where I can do a brave thing for Jod. I cannot go back to Heaven until somswhere I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." My hearer, my reader, quit complaining about your misfortunes and disaouelntiaents and troubles aud through all timo and mU ternlty thank Got! for scars!
