Washington, Feb. Z4.
In this discourse l)r. Tnlmnge
praises Christian heroism and tells of
great rewards. The text is Collations
i., 17, "I bear in my body the uiavks
of the Lord Jesus."
Wo hear much about crowns,
thrones, viotorics, but I now tell tho
more quiet story of scars, honorablo
and dishonorable. There nr? in all
parts of the world people bearing
dishonorable scars. They went into
the battle of sin and were worsted,
and t? their dying day they will have
a scarification of body or roind or
aoul. It cannot be hidden. There n:c
tons of thoufinnds of men nnd women
now consecrated to God and living
holy lives who were once corrupt;
but they have been regenerated, nnd
they are 110 more what they once
were than rubescenco is emaciation,
than balm is vitriol, than noonday is
midnight. Hut in their depleted physical
health or mental twist or style
kt temptation they aro ever and anon
reminded of tho obnoxious past.
Thsy hav? a memory that is deplorable.
In acme twinge of pain or some
tendency to surrender to the wrong
they have an unwholesome reminiscence.
They carry scars, deep scars,
ignoble scars.
But I'uul in my text shows us a
scarification which is a badge of honorable
nnd self-sacrificing service.
He had in his weak eyes tho result
of too much study nnd in his body,
bent nnd worn, tho signature of
scourglngs nnd shipwrecks nnd maltreatment
by mobs. In my text I10
shows thoso scars as ho declares, "I
bear in my body the marks of tho
Lord Jesus." Notice that it is not
wounds, but scars, aud a scar is n
healed wound. Before tho scar is
well defined upon the flesh tho inflammation
must have departed and
right circulation must have been
restored and new tissuo must have
been formed. It is a permanent indentation
of tho flesh?a cicatrix.
*-aui ata well to show those scars.
They wero positive and undisputnblo
proofs that with all his body, mind
and soul ho believed what ho said.
They were his diploma, showing1 that
he had graduated from tho school of
hardship for Christ. They were credentials
proving his right to lead in
the woidd's evangelization.
Men are not ashamed of scars got
In battle for their country. No
American is embarrassed when you
ask him: "Where did you get that
gash across your forehend?" and he
can answer: "That was from n saber
cut at San Juan." When you ask
tome German: "Where did you lose
your right arm?" lie is not ashamed
to say: "I lost it at Sedan." When
you ask an Italian: "Where did you
lose your eye?" bo is not annoyed
when he can answer: "I suffered tlint
in the Inst battle under our glorious
Gen. Garibaldi." Hut I remind you
of the fact that there are scars not
got in war which nro just ns illustrious.
We had in this country years
ago an eminont advocate who was
called into tho presidential cabinet
as attorney genernl. In midlife ho
was in a Philadelphia courtroom engaged
in an important trial. Tho attorney
on the opposito side of the
case got irrltntod and angry and in
most brutal manner referred to the
distinguished attorney's disfigured
face, a face more deeply Bcnrre.d than
any face I ever saw. The legal hero
of whom I am speaking in Ids closing
anrunient said:
the Jury, when I was a little child I
wm playing with my sister in the
nursery, and her clothes caught lire,
and I ran to her to put out tho fire.
I succeeded, but I myself took fire,
and before It was extinguished my
faoe was awfully burned and as black
as the heart of the scoundrelly counsel
who on the other sldo of the case
has referred to my misfortune." Tho
eminent attorney of whom I spcnk
carried all his life the honorable scar
of his sister's rescue. Albert Barnes,
the most distinguished of all commentators,
unless It bo Matthew
Hdbry, for years at four o'clock in
the morning might have boon Heen
going from his house in Philadelphia
to his study in tho church and in
tho'sc early hours and before breakfast
to give all thoso wonderful commentaries,
a theological library in
themselves, lie said that as ho was
pastor he felt hound to give all the
rest of each day to work connected
with his pastorate. But at what a
ruinous draft upon his eyesight he
did that early morning work, first by
i candlelight and then by gaalightl
/When he got through those wonderful
volumes of Scriptural exposition,
Albert Barnes was a blind man.
Sears, illustrious scars, on his extinguished
eyesight!
People think they must look for
martyrs on battlefields or go through
a history to find burnings at the
take and tortures on racks when
there are martyrs all about us. At
this time in this capital city there are
oores of men weuring themselves
out in the publio service. In ten
years they will net have a healthy
nerve left in t^elr body. In committee
rooms, in consultations that
Involve the welfare of the nation, under
the weight of great responsibilities,
their vitality is being subtracted.
In almost every village of the country
srou find some brnlf?n Hnwn
national official. After exhausting
felmstll in the public service, rough
'American politics kicks him out of
Msgrtu or cabinet or legislative halJL
Huns Amuck.
At Maoon, 0aM Levi Carroll, a nogro,
aged 24, Thursday morning stabbod
his father, Hardy Carroll, killing him
almost instantly. He next rushed to
the houso of his grandmother and attempted
to indnoe her to oome out. but
she refused, and ordered him from the
plaoe. He ran to the house of a woman
named Diana Lookett, and found hor
asleep. He went to her bedside and
throat the knife into to her baok. Her
death ensued immediately. Carroll
then gave himself up.

fend ha goea into comparative obaourlty
and comparative want, for he
has been long enough away from
home to Iobo his professional opportunities.
No man that was ever put
to death by sword or instrument of
torture was more of a martyr than
that man who lias been wrung to
death by the demands of official position.
The sears may not bo visible,
for these are sears on the brain,
and senrs on the nerve and scars on
the heart, but nevertheless nre they
scars, and God counts them and their
reward will bo abundant.
In all lands there are veterans of
war who may not have lind their face
Bcrnped with one bullet or their foot
lamed by one bursting shell and who
could not roll up their sleeve and
show you ono mark suggestive of
battle, yet carry with them weaknesses
got In exposures to disease
along malarial swamps or from
many nines or marching, ana ever
and anon thoy feel a twinge of pnin,
each recurrence of which is sharper
or more lasting, until after awhile
they will bo captured for the tomb
by disorders which started 20 or 30
or 40 years before. And their scars
are all unseen by huiunn eyes. But
those people are 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 thnt there arc 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 His cause they carry scars which
keep their indenture through all time
and all eternity. l)o 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 Cilieian
goat into canvas, a quiet trade, and
then went to college, the president of
which was Gamaliel, nn institution
which scholars say could not have been
very thorough because of what thev
call Paul's imperfect command of
Greek syntax. But his history became
exciting on the road to Damascus,
where he wob unhorsed and blinded.
His conversion was a convulsion.
Whether thnt fall from the horse may
hnve left a mark upon him I know not.
but the mob soon took after him and
flogged and Imprisoned and maltreated
him until ha had scars more thafi
enough to assure tho truthfulness of
his utterance: "I bear in in3' body the
marks of the Lord Jesus."
All of Paul's suffering was for
Christ's sake. He had intellectual
powers which could have achieved for
him all worldly successes. You sec
whst ho could do in a courtroom when
with extemporaneous speech lie made
the Judicial bench tremble; when on
Mars hill he confounded the Athenian
critics; when ho preached amid the exjitement
of a tumbling penitentiary;
alien in a 6torm at sea he took command
of the ship, the only one on board
ool beaded. 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 uo height of worldly
power 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 was to philosophy, what
Aeschylus was to the drama., that Paul
might have been to all centuries. God
never before and never since made another
human being like him. Hut with
all his capacity and opportunity of
achieving worldly renown lie 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 tho Mediterranean
and embnrked on a freightboat from
Alexandria, on scholars in Athens and
talks to fishermen. Instead of plaudits
of nroused and enthusiastic assemblages
he addressed audiences that
talked back and naked insolent questions
and broke up in a riot. Instead
of garlands flung at his feet they hurled
stones upon his head. Five tiuies he
was scourged, at cuch whipping 3y
strokes, the fortieth stroko spared not
from mercy, but because 40 strokes
were the severest punishment the lew
allowed, and they feared, through
counting wrong, they might make it
41 und so themselves be punished.
Why, Paul must huve been scarred all
over, and be ouly tells the plain truth
without any commentary when he declares:
"I bear in my body the marks
of the Lord Jesus." It was as much as
to say: "See those long scars? There
is where they whipped me. See you
that ugly indenture. That is where
they stoned ine. See you that encirling
scar on my wriat? That is where
they handcuffed me. See those ugly
ourvea around my anklea? There is
where they made my feet fast in the
stocka."
There are many who, liks that apostolio
martyr, have on them the mark
of the Lord Jesus. There is the great
army of foreign missionaries, sometimes
maligned by dissolute American,
English and Scotch merchants, who at
Hong-Kong and Calcutta and Constantinople
have had their wickedness reproved
by the pure home life of those
missionaries. There ia the great army
of the ministers of tha Gospel, now in
Heaven, who, on small salaries and
amid fatiguea that alew them, served
their day and generation. There is another
great army of private Christiana
who, in Sabbath schools and in tract
distribution and in humanitarian and
evangelistic efforts have put their<.^fe
in aaoriflce on the altars of Q 9l rWt
is another nrinv of Chriat^fcnivadera
who lost their life in overwork for tlie
ohuroh and the world'e Vedemption.
People call their illness ceuralg'ia or
nervous prostration or lnsotnnla or
paresis or premature old age. I call
I their ailment* scats, aa wj text calls
I tfcam scars. There nay be scars on the

All ye who be<ar In your body the
marks of the Lord Jesus have you
thought what use those marks will be
in the heavenly world? What source
of glorious reminiscence! ]n that
world you will sit together and talk
over earthly experiences. "Where did
you get that soar?" saint will say to
saint, and there will come back a story
of hardship and struggle and persecution
and wounds and victory through
the grace of the Gospel. Another spirit
will say 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 accord for
years, together in joy and sorrow.
What one thought the other thou ght, I
We were David and Jonathan. Hut
our personal interests parted, and our !
friendships broke never to 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
castles on tn> banks of the same river."
"Where did you get that mark?"
says another apirit to listening spirit,
and the answer comes: "That is a reminder
of a great bereavement, of a
desolated household, of a deep grave,
of all the heartstrings at one stroke
snapped altogether. But you see it is
no longer a laceration, for the wound
has been healed, and my once bereft
spirit is now in companionship with
the one froin whom for awhile I wae
separated." "Where did you get that
long, deep scar?" says another immortal
to listening immortal, and the
answer cornea: "That was the awful
fatigue of a lifetime struggle in attempting
amid adverse circumstances
to nchievo a livelihood. For SO years
I was tired?oh, so tired! But you
see it is a healed wound, for I have
found rest nt last for body and soul,
the complete rest, the everlnsting rest,
that remainoth for the people of God."
Some one in Heaven will say to Martyr
John Kogcrs: "Where did you get
that scar on your foot?" and the answer
will como: "Oh, that was a burn
I suffered when tbe flames of martyrdom
were kindled beneath met"
"Ign alius, 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 Trajan I" Some one
will say to Pauli "Great apostle, that
must have beon a deep out once, tha
mark which I see on your neok." And
Paul says: "That was made by the
sword which struck me at my beheadmcnt
on the road to Ostla." But wo all
have scars of some kind, and those aro
some of the things we will talk over
in the heavenly world while wo cele
uriuo tue grace that made us triumphant
over all ngnostioism.
Now what is the practical use of
this subject? It is tha cultivation of
Christian heroics. The most of us
want tc Bay things and do things for
Ood when there is no dauger of getting
hurt. Wo are all ready for easy
work, for popular work, for compensating
work, but we all greatly need
more courage to brave the world and
brave satanlo assault when there is
something aggressive and bold and
dangerous to be undertaken for God
and righteousness. And if we happen
to get bit what an adieu we make about
itl We ell need more of the stuff that
inartyre are made out of. We want
more samctifled grit, more Christlnn
pluck, more holy recklessness as to
what the world may say and do ia
any crisis of our life. Be right and do
right, and all earth and hell combined
cannot put you down.
The eaine little missionary who
wrote my text also uttered that piled
up magnlilcenoe to be found in those
words which ring like battle axes on
splitting helmets: "In all these things
we ere more than couquerors through
Him that loved us, for I am persuaded
that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
i or principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor tilings to come,
nor height, nor depth, nor an}' other
creatnre, shall be able to separate ue
from the love ef God, which is in Christ
Jesue our Lord."
How do you like that, you cowards,
who shrink back from aggressive werk
and if so much ns a splinter pierce
your flesh ory out louder than many
a one torn in autiO da fe? Many a soldier
has gone through a long war, beeu
in 20 battles, led a regiment up a hill
mounted by cannon and swept by musketry
and yet oame home without having
been onoe hit and without a mark
upon him. But it will not be so among
those who pats in the grand review of
Ileavsn. They have nil in the holy
wars boen wounded, and all bear scars.
And what would the newly arrived im
Heaven do with nothing to show that
lie had ever been atruck by human or
diabolio weaponry; how embarrnssod
and eccentrio such an one in suoh a
placel Surely) he* would want to be
excused awhile from the heavenly
ranks and be permitted to descend os
earth, crying: "Glv? mc another
chance to do something worthy of an
