have iinishoil the work which thou gay
est me to do."*
There Is a profound satisfaction In
the completion of anything we have
undertaken. We lift the eapstone with
exultation, while, on tho other hand,
there is nothing more disappointing
than, after having toiled in a certain
direction, to find that our time is wast
ed and our investment profitless. Christ
came to throw up a highway on which
the whole world might, if it chose,
mount Into heaven. Ho did it. The
foul mouthed crow who attempted to
■tread on him could not extinguish the
sublime satisfaction which he express- j
ed when he said. “I have finished the i
work which thou gavest me to do.”
Alexander the Croat was wounded,
and the doctors could not medicate his
wounds, and lie seemed to lie dying,
and in his dream the sick man saw a
plant with a peculiar flower, and lie
dreamed that that plant was put upon
Ids wound and that immediately it was
cured. And Alexander, waking from
Ids dream, told lids to the physician,
and the physician wandered out until
he found Just tho kind of plant which
the sick man had described, brought it
to him, and the wound was healed.
Well, tlio human race had been hurt
with the ghastliest of all wounds—that
of sin. It was tlio business of Christ
to bring a balm for that wound—the
balm of divine restoration. In carry
ing this business to a successful Issue
(lie difficulties were stupendous.
In many of our plans we have our
friends to help us; some to draw a
sketch of the plan, others to help us
in the execution. I>ut Christ fought
every Inch of Ids way ngunst bitter
hostility and amid circumstances all
calculated to depress and defeat.
In the first plaee, his worldly occupa
tion was against him. I find that lie
earned Ids livelihood by tlio carpi li
ter’s trade, an occupation always to be
highly regarded and respected. Put
you know as well as I do that in order
to succeed in any employment one
must give Ids entire time to it. and I
have to declare that the fatigues of
carpentry were unfavorable to the ex
ecution of a mission which required
all mental and physical faculties.
Through high, hard, dry, husky, insen
sate Judaism to hew a way for a new
and glorious dispensation was a stu
pendous undertaking that was enough
to demand ail the concentrated ener
gies even of Christ. We have a great
many romantic stories about what men
with physical toil have accompli.-bed
in Intellectual departments, but you
know that after a man lias been toiling
all day with adz and saw and ham
mer, plane and ax. about nil he can do
is to rest. A weary body is an unfa
vorable adjunct to a toiling mind. You,
whose life is purely mechanical, if you
were called to the upbuilding of a
kingdom, or the proclamation of a new
code of morals, or the starting of a
revolution which should upturn all na
tions, could get some idea of the inco
herence of Christ’s occupation with ids
heavenly mission.
Cbrlst'ii Ilninble Appnrol.
In his father’s shop no more inter
course was necessary than is ordina
rily necessary in bargaining with men
that have work to do, yet Christ, with
hands hard from use of tools of trade,
was called forth to become a public
speaker, to preach in the face of mobs,
while some wept, and some shook their
lists, and some gnashed upon him with
their teeth, and many wanted him out
of the way. To address orderly and
respectful assemblages is not so easy
as it may seem, but it requires more
energy and more force and more con
centration to address an exasperated
mob. Tho villagers of Nazareth hoard
the pounding of his hammer, but all
the wide reaches of eternity were to
hear the stroke of Ids spiritual up
building.
So also his habits of dress and diet
were against him. The mighty men of
Christ's time did not appear In apparel
ns he passed. Nieodomus, wealthy Nie-
odomus, risked nothing of social posi
tion in following Christ, for he skulked
by night to liml him.
1)1111 cuttle* Overcome.
All tliis was against’Christ. So the
fact that la* was not regularly gradu
ated was against him. If a man come
with the diplomas of colleges and
schools and theological seminaries and
lie lias been through foreign travel, tho
world is disposed to listen. Hut here
was a man who had graduated at no
college, had not in any academy by or
dinary means learned the alphabet of
tlio language he spoke, and yet he pro
posed to talk, to instruct In subjects
which had confounded the mightiest
Intellects. John said, ‘‘The Jews mar
veled, saying. How hath this man let
ters, having never learned’/” Wo, in
our day, have found out that a man
without a diploma may know as much
as a man with one and that a college
cannot transform n sluggard into a
philosopher or a theological seminary
teach a fool to preach. An empty
head, after tho laying on of hands of
the presbytery, is empty still. Hut It
shocked till existing prejudices In those
olden times for a man with no scholas
tic' pretensions and no graduation from
a learned institution to set himself up
for u teacher. It was against him.
So also the brevity of his life was
against him. He had not come to what
we call midlife. Hut very few men do
anything before ILt years of age, and
yet that w.-ts the point at which Christ’s
i fe terminated. The first lo years you
take in nursery and school; then it will
taki' you six years to get Into your oc
cupation or profession. That will bring
you to 21 years. Then it will take you
tin .wars at least to get established in
your life work, correcting tlio mistakes

without trinkets and adornments. None
of the Ca-sars w<>uld have appeared In
citizen’s apparel. Yet here was a man,
hero was a professed king, who always
wore the same coat. Indeed it was far
from shabby, for after he had worn it
a long while the gambler!) thought It
worth rafiling about, but still It was
fiir from being an Imperial robe. It
was a coat that any ordinary man
might have worn on an ordinary occa
sion.
Neither was there any pretorsion In
his diet. No cupbearer with golden !
chalice brought him wine to drink. On 1
the seashore he ate fish, first having :
broiled it himself. No one fetched him j
water to drink; but, bending over tho
well in Samaria, he begged a drink,
lie sat at only one banquet, and that j
not at all sumptuous, for to relieve tho ,
awkwardness of the host one of the
guests had to prepare wine for the
company.
Other kings ride In a chariot; he
walked. Other kings, as they advance,
have heralds ahead and applauding
subjects behind; Christ’s retinue was
made up of sunburned fishermen. Oth-
*r kings sleep under embroidered can
opy; this one on a shelterless hill, rid
ing but once, ns far as I now remem
ber, on a colt, and that borrowed.
His poverty was ag. ’nst him. It re
quires money to build great, enter
prises. Men of means are afraid of a
penniless projector lest a loan lie de
manded. It requires money to print
hooks, to build Institutions, to pay in-
sli uetors. fxo wonder the wise nmn of
Christ's time laughed at this penniless
Christ. "tVhy,” they said, “who is to
pay for this now religion? Who Is to
charier the ships to carry the mission
aries? Who is to pay the salaries of
the teachers? Shall wealthy, establish
ed religion he discomfited by a penni
less Christ?" The consequence was
that, most of Hie people that followed
Christ had nothing to lose. Alllueut
Jo eph of Ariiuathcu hurled Christ, but.
ho risked no soelal position in doing
that. Jt Is always safe to bury a dead
nian. Zaodious risked no wealth or so
cial position in following Christ, hut
took u posltlon lu a tree to look down
of age gets fully established in his life
work, in* is tho exception. Yet that is
the point at which Christ’s life termi
nated.
Men in military life have done their
nm-t wonderful deeds before ii3 years
of age. There may be exceptions to it,
but the most wonderful exploits in
military prowess have occurred before
P,;’, years of age. Hut as a legislator no
man becomes eminent as a legislator
until he lias had long years of experi-
11 v. And yet the gray bearded scribes
were expected to how down in silence
b< fore this young legislator, who ar
raigned sanhedrins and accused gov-
i rui.ii nts. Aristotle was old; Lycurgus
v. : old; Seneca was old. The great
legislators of the modern world have
b< cn old. Christ was young. All this
was against him. If a child U years
of age should get up in your presence
to discuss great questions of meta
physics or ethics or politics or govern ;
ment. you would be as contemptuous 1
ns these gray bearded scribes in the
presence of this young Christ.
• All AmiinM Him.
Popular opinion declared In those
days, “I’.leHsed is the merchant who lias
a castle down on the hanks of Lake '1 i-
berias.” This young man said, “Bless
ed are the poor.” Popular opinion said-
lii those days, “Blessed are those who
live amid statuary and fountains and
gardens and congratulations and all
kinds of festivity.” This young man
responded, “Blessed are they that
mourn.” Public opinion in those days
said, "Blessed is the Uoman eagle, the
liap of whose wing startles nations and
the* plunge of whose iron beak inflicts
cruelty upon its enemies.” This young
man responded, “Blessed are tho mer
ciful.” Popular opinion said, “An cyo
for an eye, a tootli for a tooth.” In
other words, If a man knocks your eye
out knock his out; if a man breaks
your tooth, break Ids. Kotort for re
tort; sarcasm for sarcasm; irony for
Irony; persecution for persecution;
wound for wound. Christ said, “Pray
for them that despitefully use you.”
They looked at his eye. It was like
any other man’s eye, except, perhaps,
more speaking. They felt his hand,
made of hone and muscle and nerves
and flesh, just like any other hand.
Yet what hold treatment of subjects,
wliat supernatural demands, what
strange doctrine! They felt the solid
earth under them, and yet Christ said,
“I bear up the pillars of this world.”
They looked at the moon. He said, “I
will turn it into blood.” They looked
at the sea. He said, “I will hush it.”
They looked at the stars. He said, “I
will shako them down like untimely
tigs.” Did ever one so young say things
so bold? It was all against him.
After the battle of Antietnm, when a
general rode along the lines, although
the soldiers wore lying down exhaust
ed they rose with great eigliusiasm
ill
and huzzaed. As NapoliKHi returned
from his captivity his first step on tlio
wharf shook all the kingdoms, and
27(0,000 men flocked to Ids standard. It
took 3,000 troops to watch him In his
exile. So there have been men of won
derful magnetism of person. But hear
me while I tell you of a poor young
man who came up from Nazareth to
produce a thrill which has never been
Excited by any other. Napoleon had
around him the memories of Marengo
and Austerlitz and Jena, but here was
a man who had fought no battles, who
wore no epaulets, who brandished no
sword. He had probably never seen a
prince or shaken hands with a noble
man. The only extraordinary person
we know of as being in his company
wns his own mother, and she was so
poor tn.it, in the most ilelleate and sol
emn hour that comes to a woman's
soul, she was obliged to He down
among drivers grooming the beasts of
, burden.
Vo in lilfte Triumph.
I imagine Christ one day standing In
the streets of Jerusalem. A man du-
Fi ended from high lineage Is standing
beside him and says: “My father was
a merchant prince. He had a castle on
1 the beach In Calilec. Who was your
I father?” Christ answers, “Joseph, tlio
i carpenter." .V man from Athens Is
! standing there, unrolling Lis parch
ment of graduation, and says to Christ,
j “Win re did you go to school?” Christ
answers, “I never graduated.” Aha!
The Idea of such an unheralded young
man attempting to command tin* atten
tion of the world! As well some little
I fishing village on Long Island shore at
tempt to arraign New York. Yet no
sooner does lie set Ids loot In the
towns or cities of Judaa than every
thing Is in eoinmotioli. The people go
out on a picnic, taking only food enough
for a day, yet are so fascinated with
<'!ir!i-t that, at the risk of starving,
they follow him out Into tho wilder-
* ness. A nobleman falls down flat lie-
fore him and says, “My daughter Is
dead.” A beggar tries to rub the dim
ness from his eyes and says, “Lord,
that my eyes may lie opened.” A poor,
sick, panting woman presses through
tlie crowd and says, "I must touch the
hem of Ids garment.” Children who
love their mother better than any one
else struggle to get into Ids arms and
to kiss Ids chocs and to run their fin
gers through hi hair and for all time
putting Jesus so in love with the little
ones that there is hardly a nursery In
Christendom from which he does not
take one, saying: “I must have them.
I will fill heaven with these. For ev
ery cedar thai 1 plant In heaven I will
have oO white lilies. In the hour when
1 was a jKjor man in Juihea they were
not ashamed of me, and now that I
have come to a throne 1 do not die
spise them. Hold it not hack, O weep
ing mother! Lay it on my warm heart.
Of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Again, 1 remark, there was no or
ganization in his behalf, and that was
against him. When men propose any
gnat work, they hand together, they
write letters of agreement, they take
oaths of fealty, and the more complete
the organization tlio more and com
plete the success. Here was one who
went forth without any organization
and alone. If men had a mind to join
in Ids company, all right; If they had a
mind not to join in Ids company, all
well. If they came, they were greeted
with no loud salutation; if they went
away, they were sent with no bitter
anathema. Peter departed, and Christ
turned and looked at 1dm; that was all.
All this was against 1dm. Did any
one ever undertake such an enterprise
amid such infinite embarrassments and
by such modes? And yet 1 am here to
say It ended In a complete triumph.
Notwithstanding Ids worldly oecupa-
' m. his poverty, his plain face, Ids un
pretending garb, the fact that he was
school less, the fact that’he had a l)ri«*f
life, tlie fact that he w as not accompa
nied by any visible organization—not-
withstanding nil that, in an exhilara
tion which shall be prolonged in ever
lasting chorals, he declared, “I have
finished the work which thou gavest
me to do.”
Ileyond Iltminn I’ower.
See him victorious over the forces of
nature. The sea is a crystal sepulcher.
It swallowed the Central America, the
President and the Spatdsh armada as
easily as any fly that ever floated on it.
The inland lakes are fully as terrible in
their wrath. Some of us who have
sailed on it know that Lake Galilee,
when aroused in a storm, is overwhelm
ing, and yet that sea crouched in his
presence and licked Ids feet, lie knew
nil the waves and the wind. When he
beckoned, they came. When he frown
ed, they lied. The heel of his foot
made no Indentation on the solidified
wiiter. Medical science has wrought
great changes in rheumatic limbs and
diseased blood, but when the muscles
are entirely withered-no human power
can restore them, and when a limb Is
once dead it Is dead. But here is a
paralytic—his hand lifeless. Christ says
to him, “Stretch forth thy hand,” and
he stretches it forth.
In tlio eye Infirmary how many dis
cuses of that delicate organ have been
cured? But Jesus says to one blind,
“Be open!” and the light of heaven
rushes through gates that have never
before been opened. The frost or an
ax may kill a tree, but Jesus smites
one dead with a word. Chemistry may
do many wonderful things, hut what
chemist, at a wedding, when the wine
gave out, could change a pail of water
Into a cask of wine? What human
voice could command a school of lish?
Yet here is a voice that marshals tho
scaly tribes until, in a place where they
had let down the net and pulled it up
with no fish in it, they let it down
again, and the disciples lay hold and
began to pull, when, by reason of the
fcmltitude of fish, the net broke. Na
ture is Ids servant. The flowers—he
twisted them into his sermons; tho
winds—they were his lullaby when he
slept In the boat; tlio rain it hung
glitteringly on the thick foliage of tho
parables; the star of Bethlehem — It
sang a Christmas carol over Ids birth;
tho rocks—they beat a dirge at his
death. Behold Ids victory over the
grave! The hinges of the family vault
become very rusty because they are
never opened except to take another in.
There Is a knob on the outside of the
door of the sepulcher, but none on the
inside. Here comes the conqueror of
death. He enters that realm and says,
“Daughter of Jalrus, sit up!” and she
sits up. To Lazarus, “Como forth!”
and he came forth. To the widow’s
son he said, “Get up from that bier!”
and he goes home with his mother.
Then Jesus snatched up the keys of
death and hung them to his girdle and
rried until till the graveyards of the
rartli heard him: “<> death, I will be
rny pmgue: u grave, l will he thy ile-
s traction!”
KaiirrtiufnrnI Xnture.
No man could go through sill the ob
stacles 1 have described, you say, with
out having a nature supernatural. In
that arm, amid its muscles and nerves
and bones, were Intertwisted the ener
gies of omnipotence. In the syllables
of that voice there was the emphasis
of tho eternal God. That foot that
walked the deck of the ship in Gennes-
aret shall stamp kingdoms of darkness
Into demolition. This poverty struck
Christ owned Augustus, owned the
sanhedrin, owne ’ Tiberias, owned all
I the castles on its beach and all the
! skies that looked down Into Its water-
owned all the earth trad all the heav
ens. To him of the plain coat belonged
the robes of celestial royalty. lie who
walked the road to Kinmaus tho light
nings were the lire shod steeds of Ids
eliarlot. Yet there arc those w ho look
! on and see Christ turn water Into w ine,
find they say, “It wjis sleight of hand!”
And they see Christ raise the dead to
life, and they say: “Maslly explained;
not really dead; playing dead!” And
! they sec Christ giving sight to the
! blind man, and they say, “Clairvoyant
doctor!” Dli, what shall they do on
! the day w le ti Christ rises up la judg
ment and tin* liiils shall rock and the
trumpets shall call, peal on peal? In
the tine of Theodosius the Great them
I was a great assault made upon the dl-
I vinlty of Jciiiis Christ, and during that
i time Theodosius the Great called Ids
! own son to sit on the throne with him
and l>o u copartner In tin* government
! of the empire, and one day the old
| bishop ejimc and bowed down before
Theodosius, tlie emperor, and passed
! out of the room, and the emperor was
| o(Tended, saying to the old bishop,
! “Why didn’t you pay the same honor
to my son, who shares wllh me In the
1 gov Tnnient ?” Then the old bishop
turned to the young man and said,
“Tho Lord bless thee, my young nun.”
nut stilt paid him no such honor ns he
had paid to the emperor. And tho em
peror was still offended and displeased
when the old bishop turned to Theodo
sius tho Great and said to him, “You
are offended with mo because 1 don’t
pay the same honor to your son, whom
you have made copartner in tho gov
ernment of this empire, the same hon
or 1 pay to you, and yet you encourage
multitudes of people in your realm to
deny the Son of God equal authority,
equal power, with God the Father.”
1,1 v** Forever.
My subject also reassures us of the
fact that In all our struggles we have
a sympathizer. Y'ou cannot tell Christ
anything new about hardship. I do
not think that wide ages of eternity
will take the scars from his punctured
side and his lacerated temples and Ids
sore hands. Y'ou will never have a
burden weighing so many pounds as
that burden Christ carried up the
bloody hill. Y’ou will never have any
suffering worse than lie endured when,
with tongue hot and cracked and In
flamed anil swollen, he moaned, “I
thirst” You will never ho surrounded
by worse hostility tlnu that which
stood around Christ’s feet, foaming, re
viling. livid with rage, howling down
his prayers and snuffing up the smell
of blood. O ye faint hearted, O ye
troubled, O ye persecuted one, here Is
n heart that can sympathize with you!
Again, and lastly, I learn from all
that lias been said today that Christ
was awfully in earnest If it had not
been a momentous mission, he would
have turned back from it disgusted and
discouraged. He saw you In a captivi
ty from which lie was resolved to ex
tricate you, though it cost him all
sweat, all tears, sill blood. He came a
great way to save you. He came from
Bethlehem here, through the place of
skulls, through the charnel house,
through banishment. There was not
among all the ranks of celestials one
being who would do as much for you.
I lay Ids crushed heart at your feet to
day. Let it not be told in heaven that
you deliberately put your fpot on it.
While it will take all the ages of eter
nity to celebrate Christ’s triumph, l
am here to make the startling an
nouncement that because of the rejec
tion of this mission on tlie part of some
of you all that magnificent work of
garden and cross and grave Is, so far
as you are concerned, a failure. Hel
ena. the empress, went to the Holy
Land to find the cross of Christ. Get
ting to the Holy Land, there were three
crosses excavated, and the question
was which of tin* crosses was Christ’s
cross. They took a dead body, tradi
tion says, and put It upon one of tlie
crosses, and there was no life, and they
took the dead body and put it upon an
other cross, and there was no life; but,
tradition says, when the dead body was
put up against tlie third cross it sprang
Into life. Tlie dead man lived again.
01), that the life giving power of the
Son of God might dart your dead soul
into an eternal life, beginning this day!
“Awake,‘thou that sleepest, and rise
from the deed, and Christ shall give
tliee life!” *dve now! And live for
ever!
