CHRIST'S SACRIFICE. REV. DR. TALMAGE'S EASTER SUNDAY SERMON. r The Law of Self Sacrifice the Theme of an Eloquent Discourse-Common >ense Mast Prevail In Religion rs la Everything Else. " * * ^. 4 CCA. L [Copyright, 1S93. cy Amican i ; .? elation.] Washington, April JO.?The radical theory cf Christianity-os set forth by Dr. Talmage in this discourse, and remarkable instances of self sacrifice are brongbt cut for illustration. The textis Heb. is, 22, "Without shedding of blood i^no remission." John G. Wbittier, the last of the great school of American pc ts that made the last quarter of this century brilliant, asked me in the White mountains, one morning after prayers, in which I bad given out Cowper's famous hymn about "the fountain filled with blood,""Do you really'believe thero is a literal application cf the blood of Christ to the soul?" My negative reply then is my negative reply now. The Bible statement agrees with all physicians and all physiologists and all scientists in saying that the blood is the life, and in the Christian religion it - 1vf c lifft v?ns XUtiULiB aiUiUXjr ouuii v, given Jfor our life. Hence all this talk of men who say the Bible story of blood is disgusting, and that they don't want what they call a "slaughter house religion," only shows their incapacity or unwillingness to look through tbc figure of speech toward the thing sicnified. Tbo blood that on tbo darkest Friday the world ever saw cozed or trickled or poured from the brow, and the side, and the hands, and the feet Cf the illnstrious sufferer back of Jerusalem in a few hours coagulated and dried up and forever disappeared, and if mau bad depended on the application of the literal blood of Christ there would r.ot have been a soul saved for the last 18 centuries. In order to understand this red word of my text we only have to exercise as much common sense in religion as we do in everything else. Pang for pang, hunger for hunger, fatigne for fatigue, tear for tear, blood for blood, life for life, we see every day illustrated. The act cf substitution is no novelty, although I hekr men talk as though the idea cf Christ's suffering substituted for our suffering were something abnormal, something distressingly odd, something wildly eccentric, a solitary episode in the world's history, when I could take voa cut into this city and before sondown pcint you to 500 cases of subsjfc/* ration and voluntarysafiferjCJJ-sTonein behalf cf anotjj^? The Invisible Line. At 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon go amcng.tbG places of business or toil. It will bo no difficult thing for you to find men who, by their looks, show you that they are overworked. Tbey are prematurely old. They are hastening rapidly toward their decease. They have gone through crises in business that shattered their nervous system and pulled on the brain. They havo a shortness of breath and a pain in the back of the head and J at night an insomnia that alarms them. Why are they drudging at business early and late? "For fun? Ko; it would be difficult to extract any amusement out of that exhaustion. Because tbey are avaricious? In many cases no. Because their own personal expenses are lavish? No; a few hundred dollars would meet all their wants. The simple fact is the man is enduring all that fatigue and exasperation and wear and tear to keep * rr?L M :??;? 111S 1)01X10 prosperous, xuero is uu iuvioible line reaching froru that store, from that bank, from that shop, from that scaffolding, to a quiet^ scene a few blocks, a few miles away, and there is the secret of that business endurance. He is simply the champion of a homestead, for which ho wins bread and wardrobo and education and prosperity, and in such battle 10,000 men fall. Of ten business men whom I bury, nine die of o\erwork for others. Some sudden disease finds them with no power of resistanco, and they are gone. Life for life! Blood for blood! Substitution! At 1 o'clock tomorrow morning, the hour when slumber is most uninterrupted and profound, walk amid the dwelling bouses of the city. Iiere and there you will find a dim light, because it is the household custom to keep a subdued licht: hnrninc. hnt most of the bouses v ~ O* - - from base to top are as dark as though uninhabited. A merciful God has sent forth the archangel cf sleep, and he puts bis wings over the city. But yonder is a clear light burning, and outside on a window casement a glass or pitcher containing food for a sick child. The food is set in the fresh air. This is the sixth night that mother has sat up with that sufferer. She has to the last point obeyed the physician's prescription, not giving a drop too much or too little or a moment too soon or too Jate. She is very anxious, fcr sho has buried three children with the same disease, and she prays aod weeps, each prayer and sob ending with a kiss of the pale cheek. By dint of kindness she gets the little one through tbo ordeal. After it is all over the mother is taken down. Brain or nervons fever sets in, and one day she leaves the convalescent child with a mother's blessing and gees up to join the three departed ones in the kingdom of heaven. Life for life! Substitution! The fact is that there are an uncounted number of mothers who, after they have navigated a large family of children through all the diseases cf infancy and got them fairly started up the flowering slope of boyhood and girlhood, have only strength enough left to die. They fade away. Some call it consumption, some call it nervous prostration, Eouie call it intermittent or malarial indisposition, but I call it martyrdom of the dorm etic circle. Life for life! Blood for blood! Substitution! Blood For Blood. Or perhaps a mother lingers long enough to see a sen get on the wrong road, and his former kindness becomes rough rep!y when she expresses anxiety about him. But she goes right on, looking carefully after bis apparel, remembering his every birthday with some memento, and when lie is brought home worn out with dissipation nurses -him till he gets well and starts him again aDd 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 hnt thrpft wnrds. ",Mv nour bov!" The simple fact is she (lied for him. Life for life! Substitution ! About 38 years ago there went forth from our northern and southern homes hundreds cf thousands of men to do battle. All the poetry of war scon vanished, and left them nothing but the terrible prose. They wr.ded knee deep in mud. They slept in snow banks. They marched till their cut feet tracktcl the earth. Tbcy were swindled cut cf their honest rations and iived on meat net tir for a deg. They had jaws fractured, and eyes extinguished and limbs shot away. Thousands of them cried for water as they lay on the field the night after the battle and got it not. Tboy were homeI \ Mtu fiUu n^jtivetl no niessTge froiu Th'tlr loved ones. They died iu bams, in bashes, in ditches, the buzzards of the snmiuer heat the only attendants cu tbeir obsequies No one bat the infinite God, 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 yonng men, postponing the marriage day. start cut into the probabilities of never coming back? For a principle they di'd. Life for life! Blood for blood ! Substitution ! Principle of self Sacrifice. But we- need not go so far. What is that monument in the cemetery? It is 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; hut the* doctor puts a few medical books in his valise, and some vials of medicine, and I leaves his patients here in the hands of other physicians and takes the rail train. Before ho gtts to the infected regions he passes crowded rail trains,"reg ular and extra, taking the flying and affrighted populations. Ho arrives in a city over which a great horror is brooding. He goes from couch to couch, feeling the 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: yon look miserable." But he cannot rest while so many are suffering. Chi and cu, until - some lnorniug liuds him in a delirium, in which be talks of heme, and then rises and says he must go aud look after those patients. He is told to lie down, br.t be lights his attendants until be falls back, aud is weaker and weaker, and dies for people with whom he bad uo 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 ns of his sac rificc?his name just mentioned among five. Yet he has touched the farthest height of sublimity in that three weeks of humanitarian service. lie goes straight as an arrow to the bosom cf him who said, "1 was sick and yo visited me." Life for life! Blocd for blood! Substitution! Iu the legal profession I see the same principle cf self sacrifice. Iu 1840 William Freeman, a pauperized and idiotic uegro, was at Auburn, N. Y., cn trial for murder. He had. slain the entire Van Nest family. The foaming of the community coulcl^ kept off him only by armed cqn^i^des. Who would voluute??->i-T5e~ his counsel? No attor^^""wanted to sacrifice his popularity by such an ungrateful task. All were silent save one, a young lawyer with feeble voice that could hardly be heard nnj-cMo tho bar. m!e and thin and awk ward. It was William H. Seward, who saw that the prisoner was idiotic and irresponsible aud ought to be put in au asylum rather thau put to death, the heroic counsel uttering these beautiful words: Substitution. "I speak now iu the bearing of a people who have prejudged prisoner and condemned me for pleading in his behalf. He is a convict, a pauper, a negro, without iutellect, sense or emotion. My ;bild with an affectionate smile disarms my careworn face of its frown wbeuever I cross my threshold. The beggar in the street obliges me to give because he says 'God bless you' as 1 pass. My dog caresses me with fondness if I will but smile on him. My hcrse recognizes me when I fill bis manger. What reward, what gratitude, what sympathy and affection cau I expect hero? There t bo prisoner sits. Look at him. Look at tlie assemblage around yon. Listen to their ill suppressed censures and excited fears and tell me wbebe among my neighbors or my fellow men, where, even in his heart, I cau expect to find a sentiment, .? thought, not to say of reward or of acknowledgment or even of recognition. Gentlemen, you may think of this evidence what you please, bring in what verdict yen can, but I asseverate before heaven and ycu that to the best of my knowledge and belief the prisoner at the bar does net at this moment know why it is that my shadow falls on you instead of his own." The gallows got its victim, bat the post mortem examination of the poor creature showed to all the surgeons aud to all the world that the public were wrong and William H. Seward was right, and that hard, stony step of obloquy in the Auburn courtroom was the. first step of the stairs of faino up Which is better, to thoroughly cleanse and purify the blood just now, or make yourself liable to the many dangerous ailments which are so prevalent during summer? Impurities have been accumulating in the blood n 11 winter, and right now is the time to get rid of them. A thorough course of Swift's Specific is needed to cleanse the blood and purify the system, toning up and strengthening it all over. Those who take this precaution now are comparatively safe all summer; but to neglect it is to invite some form of sickness which is so common during the trying hot season. It is now that a course of Swift's Specific Se ?far PWJj will accomplish so much toward rendering the system capable of resisting the evil influences which are so liable to attack it during the summer when sickness is so I abundant. It is the best tonic and system-builder on the market, 1 * 1 T-1 3 j because it is a rem uiwu itriucv.iv ! and is made solely to search out I and remove ail impurities, and I supply an abundance of pure, rieli j and red blood.

Nothing stiblimer was ever seen in an American courtroom than f William H. Seward, without reward, , standing between the furious populace i aud the loathsome imbecile. Substitu- < tion! In the realm of the flue arts there ; was as remarkable au instance. A I brilliant but liypereriticised painter, < Joseph William Tinner, was met by a i volley of abnsa from all the art galleries i r>f fiir.mp. His nuiutinzs. which have i sitice won tbo applause of all civilized nation.?, "The Fifth Plague of Egypt," "Fishermen on a Lee Shore in Squally Weather," "Calais Pier," "The Sen Rising Through Mist" and "Dido < Building Carthage," were then targets for critics to shoot at. In defense of this outrageously abused n?au, a young author of 24 years, just odg year out of college, came forth with his pen and wrote the ablest and most famous essay on art that the world ever saw or ever will see?JobuRuskin's "Modern Painters." For 17 years this author fought the battles of the maltreated artist and after, in poverty and broken hearted- _ ness, the painter had died audthft^uiT. lie tried to undo their^gHkSities toward him by giving hjJSf^abig funeral and burial in S^^aul's cathedral, his eld jLllb? tricnd took cut of a tin box 19,000 I pieces cf paper containing drawings by the old painter, and through many weary and uncompensated months as[ sorted and arranged them for public observation. People say John Rnskin in bis old day is cross, misanthropic and morbid. Whatever he may do that he ought not to do and whatever be may say that he ought not to say between i now and his death, he will leave this world insolveut as far as it has any capacity to pay this author's pen for its chivalric and Christian defense of a poor painter's pencil. John Rnskin for William Turner! Blood for blood! Substitution ! Suffering For Another. What an exalting principle this which leads one to suffer for another! Nothing so kindles enthnsiasm or awakens eloquence, cr chimes poetic canto, cr moves nations. The principle is tho dominant one in onr religion?Christ the martyr. Christ tho celestial hero, Christ the defender, Christ the substitute. No new principle, for it was old as human nature, but now on a grander, wider, higher, deeper and more world resounding scale. The shepherd boy as a champion fcr Israel with a sling toppled the giant of Philistine braggadocio in tho dr..-t, hut here is another David, who for all the armies of churches militant and triumphant hurls the Goliath cf perdition into defeat, the crash of his Lr.t7.eu armor like an explosion at Hell Gate. Abraham had at God's command agreed to sacrifice his sou Isaac, and the same God just in time had provided a rum of the thicket as a substitute, but there is another Isaac louud to the altar, and no hand arrests the sharp edges of laceration and death, and tho universe shivers, and quakes, and recoils, and groans at the horror. All good men have for centuries been trying to tell whom this substitute was like, and every comparison, inspired and uninspired, evangelistic, prophetic, apostolic and human, falls short, for Christ was the Great Unlike. Adam a type of Christ, because he came directly from God; Noah a type of Christ, because he delivered his own family from deluge; Melcbisedec a type of Christ, because he had 1:0 predecessor or successor; Joseph a type cf Christ, because he was cast cut by his brethren; Moses a type cf Christ, because ho was u deliverer from bondage; Joshua a type cf Christ, because ho was a conqueror; Samson a typo of Christ, hecause of his strength to slay the lions and carry off the iron gates of impossibility; Solomon a type cf Christ, in the affluence of his dominion; Jonah a type of Christ, because of the stormy sea iu which bo throw himself for the rcscuo cf others, but put together Adam, and Noah, and Melchisedec, and Joseph, and Moses, and Joshua, and SarnsoD, and Solomon, and Jcnab, and tbey would not make a fragment cf a Christ, a quarter cf a Christ, the half of a Christ, or the millionth part of a Christ. He forscok a throne and sat down on his own footstool. Ho came from the top of glory to the bottom of humiliation and changed a circumference seraphic for a circumference diabolic. . Once waited on by angels, now hissed at by brigands. From afar and high up ho came down; past meteors swifter than they; by ctarry thrones, himself more lustrous; past larger worlds to smaller worlds; down stairs of firmaments, and from cloud to cloud, and through tree tops and into the camel's i stall, to thrust his shoulder under our j burdens and take the lances of pain through his vitals, and wrapped himself in all the agonies which we deserve for our misdoings, and stood on the splitting; decks of a foundering vessel, amid the drenching.*urf of the sea, and passed midnights 011 the mountains amid wild Leasts of prev, and stood at the point I where all earthly and infernal hostiliI ties charged on him at once with their ; keen sabers?cur Substitute!

In all the ages of the world God has not once pardoned a single sin except through the Saviour's expiation, and be never will. Giorv be to God that the hill back of Jerusalem was the battlefield on which Christ acbievul our liberty! Palestine** Waterloo, Ti ? * T r-rvAiif nn 1C WilS a IIJ CM w.?> x rjJViiu i 11 the battlefield of Waterloo. i:tartii:g out with the morning train from Brussels, we arrived in about an hour cu that famous spot. A ecu of ct:o who was iu the battle and who had heard from his father a thousand times the whole scene recited accompanied Jts over the field. There stood the old Hougomont chateau, the walls dented and scratched and broken and shattered by grapeshot and caunon^kyH.. Tl^TtrTs the well in wddj^HJeTTdying and dead W. rj;here is the chapel with the head of the infant Christ shot off. There aro the gates at which, for many hours, English and Trench armies wre stled. Yonder were the ICO gnus of the English and the 5:50 guns of the Trench. Yonder the Hanoverian hussars lied for the woods. Yonder was tbo ravine of Chain, where the Trench cavalry, not knowing there was a hollow iu the ground, rolled over and down, troop after troop, tumbling into one awful mass of suffering, hoof of kicking horses against brow and breast cf captains and colonels and private soldiers, the human and the beastly groan kept up until the day after all was shoveled under because cf the malodor arising in that hot month cf June. "There," said our guide, "Iho highland regiments lay down on their faces waiting for the moment to spring upon the fee. Iu that orchard 2,500 men were cut to pieces. Ilerc stood Wellington with whito lips, and up that knoll redo Marshal Nov on his sixth horse, five having been shot under him. Here the ranks of the French broke, and Marshal Ney, with his boot slashed of a sword, and his hat oil, and his face covered with powder and blood, tried to rally his troops as lie cried, 'Come and see how a marshal of French dies on tho battlefield.' From yonder direction Grouchy was expected for the French re-enforcement, but he came not. Around those woods Blucher was looked for to re-euforco the Knglish, and just in time he came up. Yonder is the field where Napoleon stood, bis arms through the reins of tho horse's bridle, dazed and insane, trying to go back " Scene of a battle that went on from 23 minutes to 13 o'clock en the 18th of June until 4 o'clock, when the Fuglish seemed defeated, and their commander cried out: "Boys, you cau't think of giving way? Remember old England!" and the tides turned, and at 8 o'clock in the evening the man of destiny, who was called by his troops Old Two Hundred Thousand, turned away with broken heart. And the fate of centuries was decided. No wonder a great mound has been reared there, hundreds of feet high?a mound at the expense of milliuns of dollars and many years in rising, and cn the top is the great Belgian lieu of bronze, and a grand eld lien it is. But our great. Waterloo was in Palestine. There came a day when all hell rodo t<p, led by Apollyon, and the Captain of nnr salvation confronted them alone, tbe Rider on the white iior.se cf the Apocalypse going out against tho black horse cavalry cf death and the Lattalions of tbe demoniac and the myrmidons cf darkness. From 12 o'clock ar uocu to 3 o'clock in the afternoon tho greatest battle of the universe went cm Eternal destinies were being decided. All the arrows cf hell pierced our Chieftain and the battleaxrs struck him until brow and cheek and shoulder and hand and foot were incarnadined with oozing life, but he fought cn until he gave a final stroke with sword l'rom Jehovah's buckler, aud the commander in chief of hell and all his forces fell back in everlastiug ruin, and th9 victory is ours. And on the mound that celebrates tbe triumph we plant this day two fignrcs, not in brenze or iron cr sculptured marble, but two figures o: living light, the lion of Judah's tribe and tho Lamb that was slain.
