raj J<ji rv'-i?ajir?M .via FRUITS OF VICTORY t< I Dr. Talmage on the Rewards of i Faithful Endeavor. E i < THE LESSON OF CHRIST | J 3 In Overcoming the Obstacles j Which Beset His Followers. J Satisfaction in the Comple- j tion of Good Work. i In this disoourse Dr. Talmage shows ; in an nnnsual way the aBtagonisms | that Christ overcame and finds a balsam , for all wounded hearts; test, John xvii, ] 4, "I haye finished the work which I thou gavest me to do." There is a profound satisfaction in the completion of anything we have ' undertaken. We lift the capstone with exultation, while, on the other hand, : there is nothing more disappointing 1 than after having toiled in a certain di- , rection to find that our time is wasted : and our investment profitless. Christ ; ? ?~ o Viicrhiuav nn , uauic I,(J buivn UJJ ?? "??,?- ..-J , the whole world might, if it chose, \ mount into heaven. He did it. The , foul mouthed crew who attempted to , tread ou him could not extinguish the j sublime satisfaction which he expressed j when he said, "I have finished the j work which thou gavest me to do./ ( Alexander th6 Great was wounded, , and the doctors could not medicate his wounds, and he seemed to be dying, \ and in his dream the sick man saw a j plant with a peculiar flower, and he i dreamed that that plant was put upon j his wound and that immediately it was 1 cured. And Alexander, waking frorc < his dream, told this to the physician : wandered out until he found just the ; kind of plant which the sick man had , described, brought it to him, and the wound was healed. Well, the human race had been hurt with the ghastliest , of all wound?that of sin. It was the , business of Christ to bring a balm for that wound?the balm of divine res to- 1 ration. In carrying this business to a successful issue the difficulties were stupendous. In many of our plans we have our friends to help us; some to draw a sketch, of the piau, others to help us in { the execution. But Christ fought every inch of his way against bitter hostility and amid circumstances all calculated to depress and defeat. ; In the first place, his worldly occupation was against him. I find that he earned Ms livelihood, by tne carpenters trade?an occupation always to be highly regarded and respected. But you know as well as I do that in order to succeed in any employment one must give his entire time to it, and I have to declare that the fatigues of carpentry were unfavorable to the execution of a mission which required all mental and Pof?nl('?oQ Thrrmffh hieh. ?o? o-, hard, dry, husky, insensate, Judaism to hew a way for a new and glorious dispensation was a stupendous undertaking that was enough to demand all c the concentrated energies even of Christ We have a great many romantic stories about what men with physical toil have accomplished in intellectual departments, but you know that after a man has been foiling all day with adz and saw a:id hammer, /ion /In >c fft piauc <?UU aii V?JLI uv wv aA weary body is an unfavorable adjunct to a toiling mind. Yon, whose life is purely meohanical, if you were called to the upbuilding of a kirgdom, or the proclamation of a new; code of morals, or the starting of a revolution whioh shonld upturn all nations, could get some idea of the incoherence of Christ's occupation with his heavy mission. In his father's shop no more intercourse was necessary than is ordinarily necessary in bargaining with men who have work to do; yet Christ, with hands hard from use of tools of trade, was called forth to become a public speaker, j to preach -in the face of mobs, while ( ?j ?u ii..:. some wept ana huuio emuu*. wcu nova j and some gnashed upoa him with their teeth and many wanted hiia out of the way. To address orderly and respect- ; fnl assemblages is not so ejisy as it may ; seem, but it requires more energy and more force and more concentration to f address an exasperated mob. The vil- ( lagers of Nazareth heard the pouudiDg , of his hammer, but all the ?v ?;e reaches , of eternity were to hear the stroke o* j his spiritual upbuilding. So also his habits of dress and diet ( were against him. The mighty men of , Christ's time did not appejir in apparel | without trinkets and adornments. None i of the Caesars would have appeared in citizen's apparel. Yet hero was a man, ? liere was a professed King, wno always ] wore the same coat. Indeed, it was far from shabby, for after he had worn it a long while the gamble:*s thought it worth raffling about, but still it was far from being an imperial robe. It was a coat that any ordinary man might have worn on an ordinary occasion. Neither was there any pretension in his diet No cupbearer with golden chalice brought him wine to drink. On ( the seaslore he ate fiah, first having < broiled it himself. No one fetched j him water to drink: but, tending over ^ the well in Samaria, he begged a drink. ? He sat at only one banquet and that ? not at all sumptuous, for to relieve the -1 awkwardness of the host one of the i PTiAHtfi had to nrenare wine for the - company. J ( Other kings ride in a chariot; he i walked. Other kings as they advance < have heralds ahead and applauding sub- c jects behind; Christ's retinue was made t up of sunburned fishermen. Other < kings sleep under embroidered canopy; c this one on a ehelterless hill. Riding r. but once, as far as I now remember, on c a oolt?and that borrowed. c His poverty was against him. It re- ' quires money to build great enterprises, t Men of means are afraid of a penniless ? projector, lest a loan be demanded. It t requires money to print books, to build ' institutions, to pay instructors. No t wonder the wise men of Christ's time 1 * -i- iv:- m i&ugnea at ims peuiu-ess uiuisi. j "Why," they said, "who is to pay for ^ this new religion? Who is to charter c the ships to carry the missionaries? a "Who is to pay the salaries of the teach- \ ers? Shall wealthy, established religion 3 be discomfited by a penniless Christ?" 1 The consequence was that most of the 1 people that followed Christ had noth- 1 ing to lose. Affluent Joseph of Arima- c thea buried Christ, but he risked no e social position in doing that. It is always safe to bury a dead man. Zac- f cheus risked no wealth or social posi- s tion in following Christ, but took a posi- a tion in a tree to look down as he passed, t Nioodemus, wealthy Nicocemns, risked t nothing of social position in following a Christ, for he skulled by night to find i him, y All this was against Christ. So the C fact that he was not regularly graduated v was against him.
