Wo h?aiSx'much about; crowns, thronos, victories, but I now toll tho moro quteVstory of scars, honorablo i ?tod dishonorable. Thoro aro in all parts of. tho wbrid pooplo .bearing dishonorable scars. They went into the battle Of sin and wero worsted, and to their dying day thoy will nave a scarification of body or mind or ?oui; It cannot bo biddon. Thoro nie tons of thousands of mon and womon How consecrated. to God and living holy lives who woro onco corrupt; but they havo boon regenerated, and thoy ar?' no moro what thoy onoo w?dro than rubesconco ls emaciation, ^ than balm is vitriol, than noonday is midnight. But in their doplotcd phys ical health or mental twist or stylo Af temptation thoy. aro over axtd anon romlndcd of thoi<t obnoxious iJ?st. They have a momory that is deplor able. In some twingo of pain or somo tendenoy io'surrender to tho wrong tho ir hnrn i\ri unwholesome i'C?I'.i?i" tsoenco. They carry scars, deep scars, fguoblo scars. But Paul in my toxt" shows us a ?onrifloation which is a bndgo of hon orable and self-sacrificing service. Ho had in his weale cj'cs tho result of too much study and in his body, bent and worn,, tho signature of scourglngs and shipwrecks and mal treatment by mobs. In my text ho chows those scars ns ho declares, "I bear in my body tho'marks of tho Lord Jesus." . No'tfco that it. is not wounds, but scars, and a scar is a healed wound. Bcforo tho scar is well defined upon tho flesh tho in flammation .must havo departed and right circulation must havo' been restored and new tissue must havo bebn formed. It is a permanent in dentation of tho flesh-a cicatrix. Paul did well to show thoso scars. .They woro positivo and ^indisputable proofs that .with .all his body, mind and soul ho believed what-ho said. They wero his diploma, showing that ho had graduated from the school of' hardship for Christ. They were cre dentials proving bis right to lead in tho world's evangelization. Mon aro not ashamed of scars got In battle for , their, country. No Amorican is embarrassed when you ask him: "Where did you get that gash across your forehead?" and ho oan answer: "That was from a saber out at San Juan." When you adc como German: "Where did you loso your right arm?" ho is not ashamed to say: *T lost it at Sedan." When you ask an Italian: "Where did you lose your eye?" ho is not annoyed Whon ho can answer: "I suffered that In.tho last battle under our'glorious Gen, Garibaldi." But I roinlnd you ?of the fact that thoro aro scars not got In war which aro just as illus trious. Wo'had in this country years' ;-;^V; ?go an eminent advooato Who waa called into, tho-presidential cabinet as attorney general. In mldllfo he Was in a Philadelphia courtroom en 'grtgc?'in'ah'important*~fr?rtl; -The at torney on. tho-opposite side of the caso got irritated and angry and in ' most brutal manner rcforred to the distinguished . attorney's disfigured face, a f aco more doeply scarrod than. any faoo I over saw. Tho legal hero of Whom I am speaking: in his dos ing argumont Bald: "Gentlemen of the jury, when I was a little child I wa? playing with my Bister in tho nursery, and hor clothes caught dre, and I ravi to her to put out tho fire. S suooeeded, but I myself took fire, wad before it was extinguished my tfaoo was awfully burned and as black tai tho heart of tho scoundrelly coun sel who on tho other side of the case hae roforred to my misfortune." The eminent att?rnoy of whom I speak carried all his life tho honorablo scar of his sister's rescue. Albort Barucs, the most distinguished of all com mentators, unless it bo Matthew -Henry, for years at four o'clock in the morning might havo been seem going from his houso in Philadelphia to his study in tho church and in thctao early hours and before break fast to give all those wonderful com mentaries, a theological library in thornnclve?." Ile said that ns ho was pastor ho felt bound to givo all tho 'rest of. each day to work oonneoted ! With hts pastorate. But at what a ruinous draft upon his eyesight he did that ?arly morning work, first by candlelight and then by gaslight! (When he got through thoso wonder ful volumes of Scriptural exposition, Albort Barnes was a blind man. Goars, Illustrious scars, on his extin guished eyesight I People think they must look for martyrs on battlefields or go through a history to find burnings at tho stake and tortures on racks when there aro martyrs all about us. At fthls time in this capital city thoro aro 'nooroo of men wearing themselves Nout In tho publio service. In . ten years they will not havo a healthy nervo left in their body. In com mittee -rooms, in consultations that involve tho welfare of the nation, un der the wolglit of great responsibill S*ies, tlheir vitality is being subtracted, u almost every village of tho country you find some broken down state or ^national official. After exhausting himself in thc public, service, rough American politics kicks him out of congres? or ?abinet Or legislative hall. i-_-:-yp Becoming Popular. Tho burning of nogrpos is becoming quito a popular and common amuso mont out wost. Indiana's exploit our {lasgod/ihat of Colorado, Torro Kauto s a oily of ovor 30,000 inhabitants, with many sohools and ohurohos, yot a mob took from its jail a ' prison or who had killod a whito man, draggod him through tho stroots, boat hi m to (loath and burnod thc lifeless body. Womon and ohildron jostled tho mon to got a glimpse of tho burning. Tho nogroo's toon sold for ono dollar oaoh. Tho H sun lioso affair waa not as bod as this. Lot tho cranks lot up on Hbo south. 8ho may bo barbarous, but thoro aro others. -Columbia Stato. Two Killed. A building in Wost Ninotcoth street in Now York pollapsod Thursday morn ing and it is reported that four persons word buriod undor tho ruins. Later it was found ithat two mon woro killed and two injured, ono probably ?Atally.

Tho scars may ?ot bo visible, * for these oro ?cav? on tho brain, and scars on the nerve and scars on . tho hearty but nevertheless aro thoy Bears,- nod (Sod counts them and their reword will bo abundant. In all lands thcro aro veterans of war who may not havo had their faoo scraped with ono bullet or their foot lamed by ono bursting- sholl and who could not roll up their alcove and show you ono , mark suggestive of battle, jret carry with them weak nesses got in exposuros to dlsoaso ulong- malarial swamps or from many' miles of marching, aiid ever and anon thoy fool a twinge of . pain, eaoh recurrence of which ls sliarpor or more lasting, until after awhile thoy will bo captured for tho tomb by disorders which ?tav-ted 20 ur SO or 40 years before. And their soars aro all unseen by human oyoe. But those pooplo aro as certainly tho vic tims of war as though they had bcon blowA up in an undermined fortross or thrust- through with a cavalry man's lance, What I want to make Out ls that thoro aro soars whloh aro never countod except ns God counts thom, and I want to enlargo your sympathies. Thcro ere many who can, In the Earn? sense that Paul uttered lt, say: "Ibear In my body thc marks of the Lord Je Bus"-~tnav io, for the Bake of Christ and His cause they carry .scars whloh keep their indenture through ?all time and ell eternity. Do you think that Paul was nccurato when he said that? If you havo studied his enreor, you have ne doubt of lt. lu his youth he Teamed how to fashion the hair of the Clliclan goat into canvas, a quiet trade, end then went to collcgo, the president of which ivas Gamaliel, an institution which scholars say could not havo been very thorough becauso of what they call Patil's imperfect command of Greek syntax. But his history became exciting on the rond to Damascus, where' lie wns unhorsed and blindp.fi. 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 ofter him and flogged ?nd Imprisoned and maltreated him until ho had scars moro than enough to assure tho truthfulness of his utterance: "I bear in my body tho marks of the Lord Jesus." All of Paul's suffering was for Christ's sake. no had intellectual powers which could have aohioved for him all worldly sucoessos. You BOO what ho could do in a courtroom when with extemporaneous spocoh he mad? the Judicial ben?b tremble; when on Mars hill he confounded th? Athenian critics; vthen ho preachod amid the ex .tttment of a tumbling penitentiary; rvhen In a storm at- sea'he took com mand of the ship, the only ono on board ool headed. With his insplrod logie, and hiB courage of utterance, and his power of Illustration, and his anpaolty to move audiences, and his spirit of de fiance, lhere was no height of worldly power ho might not have gained, . What Hannibal was to an army, what Draco was in making laws, what Homer, was to pootry, what Demos thenes was in power pf persuasion, what Socrates was to philosophy, what Aeschylus was* to tho drama, thai Paul ,uilgh"t have been- to all centuries. God never before and never since'made an other human being Uko him. But with nil his onpaeity and opportunity of achieving worldly renown ho turns bl? back on home and becomes an exile, oa bounteous tables and eats his hard crust by the roadside, on tho pleasuro yaehts that sailed tho Mediterranean and embarked on a froightboat from Alexandria, on ?oholar? iL Athens ?nd talks to fishermen. Instead of plaudits of aroused and enthimt-astio as semblages he addressed audionoea that talked book and asked insolent ques tions end broko up In a riot. Instead of garlands flung athis feet they hurled stones upon his head. Five times he was scourged, at each whipping/ so strokes, the fortieth stroke spared not from mercy, but beoauso 40 stroke? were the severest punishment the law allowed, and they foarod, through counting wrong, they might mako it 41 and so themselves be punished. Why, Paul must havo been scarred.oil over, and he only tolls tho plain truth without any commentary when he de clares: "I bear in my body the mark? of the Lord Jesus." It wa? as much aa to say: "See those long soars? There ip where they whipped me. Bee yon that ugly indenture. That ls where they, stoned me. Seo you that enelr ling scar on my wrist? That is whfr* they handcuffed me. fleo those ugly ourve? around my ankles? There is where they made my feet fast in the stooki." There are many who, like that apos tolic martyr, havo on them tho mark of the Lord 'tie sus. There ls the great army of foreign mission arios, some ticae/j maligned by dissolute American, English and Scotch merchants, who at Hong-Kong and Calcutta and Constan tinople have had their wickedness re proved by tho pure home life of those missionaries. There is the great army of tho ministers of the Gospel, now in Heaven, who, on small, salaries and amid fatigues that slow them, served their day and generation. There is an other great army of privat? Christian* who, in Sabbath schools and in tract distribution and in humanitarian and evangelistic effort? have put their life in sacrifice on the altars of God. There ls another army of Christian invaders who lost their life in overwork for the church nm the world's redemption.

"Where did you ge! that Boar?" ?alni will say to saint, a ad there will come back a ?tory o| hardship and struggle and perse cution and wounds ?nd victory through the f raoo of tho Qospel. Another suivit will say to listening spirit.' "Whero did you get thai hurt so plalaly marked?" And the answer will bat "Oh, that was one of the worst hurts X ever had. That was a brokon friend ship. . We were in sweetest accord for reara, together in toy and sorrow. What one thought the other thought? Ww Were 'Barid md Jonathan. But our personal interests panted, and dur friend ship? broke never, to bs renewed on earth. But we have made lt all up har?, and misunderstandings are gone, and we are in the same ??eavon, on neighboring thrones, In neighboring oastles on the banks of the same river." "Where did you get that roark?" aaya another spirit to listening spirit, and tho answer oomos: ''That la a re* minder of a groat bereavement, of o dosolatod household, of a deep grave, of adi the heartstrings at one stroke snapped altogether. But you see lt le no longer a laceration, for the wound has bean healed, and my. once bereft spirit ls now In companionship with the one from whom for awhile I was separated." "Where dtd you get that long, docp ?car?" says another Im mortal to listening Immortal, and the answor eomosr "flint was th* awful fatigue of a lifotimo struggle in at tempting amid adverso oireumstanops, to aohtevo a livollhood. For SO years I waa tlrod-oh, so tired I But you see lt ls a hoalod wound, for I have found rest at last for body and soul, the completo rest, the everlasting rest, that remainoth for the pooplo of God." Some one in Heaven will say to Martyr John Bogors: "Whore did you get that scar on your foot?" and the an swer will come: "Oh, tha J was a burn I Buffered when the flames of mar tyrdom were kindled beneath mel" "Ignatius, what is that mark on your cheek?" "Oh, that was made by the paw of tho lion to whloh I was thrown by the order of Trajan 1" tome ono will say to Pauli "Great apostle, that must have been a deop out once,' the mark which I seo on yeur nook." And faul say?. "That was mado bv the sword which struck me at my behead* ment on the road to Ostia." Sut we all have saars of some kind, and those are some of the things wo will talk ovor in the heavenly world while we eels* brate the graoe that made us triumph ant over all agnosticism. Kow what lb tho praotlcaj use of this subject? It is the cultivation of Christian heroies. The most of us "Want tc say things and do thing? tor God when there is no danger of got* tlug hurt. We are all ready for easy work, for popular work, for compon* nating' work, but we all greatly need moro eourage to brave the world and bravo aatanio assault when thoro ls something aggressive and bold end don goroon to bo undertake? for God and righteousness. And if wo happen to get blt what an adieu we make about itt We all need more of tho stuft that martyrs are made out of. We want more aanotlflpd grit, more Christian pluck, more holy ^reoklessneie aa to what the world may say and do in any oriels of our life. Bo right and do right, and all earth and hell combined osnnot put you down. Tho same little missionary who wrote my text also uttered that piled isp magnifloenoe to be found In those werde whloh ring like batt.o axes oa splitting helmets: "In all theso things We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us, fer I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor an gels, nor principalities, nor powers, nos- things present, nor things to come, ?or height, nor depth, nor any othor crcatnro, shall be able te separnto us from th? love ot God, whloh is in Christ Jesus our Lord." How do you like that, you cowards, who shrink hack from eggro&sive work and if so much as a splinter pierce your flesh cry out louder than many a one torn in auto da fe? Many a sol dier has gone throogh a long war, beon In SO battles, led a reglraont up a hill mounted by cannon and swept by mus-' ko try and yet esme home without hav ing boon onoe hit and .without a mark upon him.
