D.D., Pastor of Jeffer«on Park Presby terian Ohurch, Chicago Chicago, Nov. 9.—The supremacy of Christ in the realms of government, learning ami religion is asserted Ly Rev. Frank Re Witt Talmage in this ser mon on the text Luke xxlii, 38. “And a superscription also was written over him in letters cf Greek and Latin and Hebrew, This is the King of the Jews.” Capital punishment has been in vogue among all nations, both civilized and barbaric. But of all modes of cap ital punishment, whether by the hang man's noose, or by decapitation, or slow strangulation, or by burning at the stake, the most horrible way for any criminal to die is by the crucitix- ion mode—that form of public execu tion which was practiced among the lews. Vet we see Christ as a common criminal, hanging upon the cross and dying by the most intense and agoniz ing form of suffering, mental and phys ical. But though Jesus Christ is dying upon the cross as a common criminal there is one vivid distinction which sin gles lbs death out from among all the cruciibions. That exception is the style cf the superscription nailed above the cross. It was customary among the J 'ws to place above the heads of the dying a written statement descrip tive, of the crimes for which they were being executed. But instead of declar ing that Jesus Christ was dying an ig nominious death for the sin of murder, or of blasphemy, or of insurrection against the throne of Ciesar. the hoard over tin* head of Christ had written upon it in three different languages this one striking sentence: “This is the King of the Jews.” Even in ids degradation, humiliation ami death God seems to have so ordered events that the very man who condemned him to death •liould have acknowledged Ids royalty, and thus proclaimed to all the genera- t;> ns of ail times th" great purpose for which Christ was born as a babe in B ‘tldehem of Jud;cn. for which he lived as a hoy in Nazareth, and for which he died upon the cross for the salvation of men. Let me describe how the tlnoe lan- guages—the Greek, the Latin and the Hebrew—which were united in the su- persiTiption upon the cross are symbol ic of the universality of Christ’s reign. The Intelteetiiiil Renlnt. Greek was the language of learning. In that realm our Bivine Saviour is king I'-rii of the intellect, besides Ix 1 - ing rub r of tin* in art. He is to be the dominating power in our great univer sities and institutions of 1 urning as well as in our Christian Kndoavor so cieties and humble meeting houses in the backwoods; he is to bo the com panion of the scientist, like Henry Drummond, who goes forth into the great temple of nature to lind “A Xat- ■ ’•■l Law In the Spiritual World,” as well as the companion of David Liv ingstone, whose greatest ambition was to tell the simple story of the nativity to the ignorant black man livingamong the African swamps or upon the hanks of the Kongo; he is to be the inspira tion of Hugh Miller’s geological crow bar and Agassiz's laboratory and Isaac Newton’s scientific instruments and William Hersehel’s telescope, as well as the hope of the poor young girl dy ing in the springtime of youth who ac cepts him as “the evidence of things not seen.” The superscription must be In Greek because Christ has a mission to the learned, the cultured, the refined. The Greek language has always been the symbol of culture and refinement It is the language of the j*oet and sculptor and architect and musician and philosopher and statesman; It is the language of intellectuality, because in the time of Christ it was exclusively the tongue of the literati, as the French language during the nineteenth cen tury was the court language of all Eu rope. So In the Greek superscription written over the cross in symbol Christ seems to say, “The gospel of the Ix>rd Jesus Christ shall successfully appeal to the Intellectual man as well ns to the ignorant, to the calm. cold, care fully weighing, scientific mind as well ns to the Impulsive love of the little child.” But though the superscription over the cross had the sentence, “This is the King of the Jews,” written in the Greek language, there are thousands and tens of thousands of Infidel scoff- eis who continually sneer at Christ’s name and at the word of God. They pretend to think that the religion of the Lord Jesus never appeals to the brain. They assert that the gospel is only a relic of the superstitious and barbaric ages, fit only for shallow, ef feminate men, sentimental women and sick children. They assert that the Bread of Life is only fit for the one purpose of being rolled -up into small, harmless pellets to be fed to Invalids to calm their nerves when they are very sick or hopelessly dying. These scoffing Infidels seem able to study every science and law’, calmly and de liberately and Intelligently, and yet are not able to Intelligently Investigate the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ These scoffers, who refuse to read the Greek superscription over the cross are, to a great extent In the mental condition In which the French Infidel Duroc lived. One day, when he was making a bitter attack upon the reli gion of the Lord Jesus Christ and sneer ing at It as a gospel fitted only for the Ignorant and superstitious, Napoleon Bonaparte turned to him and said: “Duroc, I am much surprlsd at your statements. You seem to be an In telligent man, and yet you shut your eyes to every one of the evidences of Christianity. Though you charge Christians with beiuft unreasonable in their beliefs, you yourself are so un reasonable that you are willing to accept any theory and believe any ab surdity as long as it is not found in the Bible.” Such is the mental and spiritual conditions of many of those men who will not read the Greek su perscription a bote the cross. The Illble Stand* I-'.very Test. If the Bible docs not satisfy the in tellect, how can you account for the fact that it 1 as commanded the ad miration of tin greatest thinkers of the ages? If thh book, which acclaims Christ, does not bear the investigation of the mind, how was it that Sir Wil liam Jones, the greatest linguistic hu man encyclopedia who ever lived, once said in reference to that Bible, “I have carefully and regularly perused the Scriptures and am of the opinion that this book, independent of its divine origin, contains more sublimity, purer morality, more important history and finer strains of eloquence than can be collected from all other books, no mat ter In what language they may have been written.” If Christ’s Bible does not appeal to the brain, haw can you account for the fact that 'jRioinas Car lyle, a great Intellectual leader of the English speaking world, whose dys peptic stomach made him chronically growl at everybody and everything, once declared that tlie book of Job was the finest prose poem ever written, or that Lord Jeffrey, the hard headed critic of the Edinburgh Review, always carried in ids side pocket St. John's Apocalypse because la* felt that it was a masterpiece of literature? Alt, those testimonies do not tend to prove that Christ only influences the ignorant and the mentally superstitious. If this Bible does not appeal to the brain, how is it that science and reve lation, by the statements of the Bible, are daily becoming more and more har monized? As intelligent men, do you not know that, though the scientists have for centuries been squabbling, these differences are gradually passing away and that science and revelation are coming into closer and more har monious relations in regard to many things whereon they formerly dis agreed? It is only within a few weeks that I’rofessor Snycc, writing on the latest nrclueological discoveries, said, “In every case where we can test the Bible story by contemporaneous monu ments, the authenticity of which is doubted by no one, we lind it confirmed and explained, even in the minutest points.” Do you not know, as intelli gent men and women, that many re cent discoveries of the archaeologists prove that the leaves of the Bible, some of them written 3,000 years ago, are absolutely In accord with scientific facts which are continually being re vealed? That the Bible and modern scientific statements are being more and more hannoniz d by recent investigations and discoveries is illustrated by an in cident which happened some years ago in the city of riiiladolphia while 1 was preaching there. If you ever have had any dealings with medical students, you know that there is proportionately more infidelity among them as a class than among any other body of young men. Most of this Infidelity, I believe, is caused by the evil influences of the dissecting room. One day, when a medical professor, while lecturing upon the body, quoted the well known pas sage in Job, "I am escaped with the skin of my teeth,” a titter of derision ran around the classroom. The col lege professor raised his hand for si lence and said; “Tut. tut, tut, gentle men; there is no need for laughing. I am not a minister, nor the son of a minister, nor am I a professing Chris tian, but I here and now want to state that the more I study that Bible the more It appeals to my intelligence as an inspired book. I am as firmly con vinced that the Bible is inspired as was the centurion convinced of the di vinity of Christ, when at the foot of the cross he cried out In awe, ‘Truly this man was the Son of God.’ This very passage just quoted displays a knowl edge which could not have been ac quired by the man who wrote it in any other way than by revelation. For cen turies scientists ridiculed Job's simile about the skin of the teeth. But a few years ago a microscope was invented with such powerful lens that, much to the surprise of the scientists, it was found that Job was right. Over the tooth there is a thin skin, the infinitesi mal part of an inch in thickness. No body was ever able to see this skin witli the naked eye, yet Job saw It in inspiration thousands of years before the microscope was invented.” The Second Superscription. The superscription on the cross was written also in Latin. This implies that Christ will one day be the su preme ruler of the world as well as the king of the intellect and the ruler of the heart. Rome means conquest. In that one word of four letters we have the tramp of the Invading legions of a Julius Ciesar triumphing over the Gauls or of the Augustan hosts annex ing the kingdom of a Cleopatra to the empire, or we see the gleaming spears of a Sclpio driving the mighty Uannl- bal over the Alps and hurling him back across the seas, or we hear the huge battering rams of a Titus crashing in the gates of the Davldlc capital. As England today, on account of her great navy and numerous mercantile fleets, is called the “mistress of the seas,” so Rome, on account of her great armies and navies, could claim to be ruler of the seas as well as the “mistress of the world.” This homage of earthly rulers to the Heavenly King Is not an allegiance which Is only to be given to Christ la the dim future. It Is becoming more and more universal year by year. Borne people are apt to picture the greatest of conquerors as a Sosostris or au At- tila or an Alexander or a Charlemagne marching at the head of a great host, while the heavens are raining blood and the highways are paved with corpses. But an earthly conqueror's throne is nearly always short lived and is soon toppled over. Napoleon blazed and burned himself out in less than twenty years. As soon as the conquer or of the crusaders was dead a staff officer, at the command of his departed chief, rode through the camp, waving a white shroud upon the end of a long spear as lie cried: “Behold, this is all that is left of the great Saladin! Be hold, this is all that Is left of the great Saladin!” Attila's kingdom was soon scattered and divided when the north ern ruler had died as the result of a debauch. But, though the kingdoms of earthly rulers may he soon swept away, there is a spiritual conqueror, who, for the last two millenniums, has been con tinually increasing the size of his tem poral as well as spiritual domains. He is now striding across the five couti- nents and is planting ids foot upon the islands of the seas. The people are flocking to ids standard by thousands and hundreds of thousands. What is ids batik? shout? Why, it is the songs of Zion being sung in all the little meeting houses all over the land. Where ii- Ids blood of carnage? It is the symbol of the blood of Christ being lifted to the lips at the holy commu nion. My Lord and my Christ as the conqueror whose name God hath ex alted “above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and tilings under the earth,” can we not see thee? Can we not touch thee? Can we not con fess thee King of kings and Lord of lords? • One night some years ago, after a day spent among the ruined palaces of Rome, I had two visions which brought before my imagination in vivid con trast the beginning and the consumma tion of Christ's kingdom. In one 1 saw the helplessness of the few Chris tians in that great city during the period following the crucifixion; in the other I saw in imagination the time of the millennium, when all peoples shall ac claim Christ Lord of all. The Two VlNion*. Scene the First.—I was standing iu a dark Roman dungeon excavated un der another dungeon. It is called Raul's dungeon. There is a little hole In the roof about two feet square. Through this little aperture the prison ers used to be lowered by ropes. Riv eted into the stone wall was an iron ring, to which the helpless victim could be chained. The walls of that dun geon, even on that hot summer day, were damp and cold. As I stood there 1 wanted to place myself as nearly as possible in Raul's position. I bade my guide leave me and take away the light. I wanted to lie alone. As the guide left the loneliness became appall ing. Even the echoes of the departing footsteps seemed to make tliosi? prison walls the more awtully and hopelessly grewsomo. As the light disappeared the darkness rushed in and seemed to press my eyeballs like living coals of fire into my throbbing brain. Then in imagination 1 thought I could see crouching by the iron ring riveted into the wall a little, old Jew. His shriv eled limbs were drawn up by rheuma tism. the result of his prison confine ments. His weak eyes were now straining themselves to catch a glimpse of the executioner, who came nearer and nearer to the aperture above,-as my guide with the lantern approached the hole. Then in imagination as my guide spoke I seemed to hear the exe cutioner call out in a harsh, cruel voice: “Raul, Raul, come up! Ciesar says thou art to die. Come up; come up!” Then the little old Jew answered in a weak though firm voice, “And now I am read}’ to be offered.” The vision was one of the conquest of wrong over right. Scene the Second.—It is midnoon. 1 nm standing upon the top of the great Coliseum. Before me are crowded to gether 100,000 men and women, a great mass of humanity, rising tier above tier, and height above height. Yonder sits the emperor, surrounded by his chief military officers and by the mem bers of the famous senate. There is the place reserved for the vestal vir gins. Here are the rooms of the peas ants and the middle classes. All the sightseers are flushed ami excited. The roses in the young girls' cheeks blush even to a deeper red than the drunken flush on the faces of their intoxicated lords. As the entertainment goes on the bodies of the slain begin to accu mulate. Attendauts now rush iu and drag the bleeding corpses out of the arena. Then the blood soaked sand is sprinkled with precious powders to al lay the odor. Now an awning is drawn over the assembly to protect the nobil ity from the fiery rays of the eastern sun. Now the air is redolent with aromatic perfumes. This is a national holiday. Caesar is celebrating the vic tories of the Roman armies. Now the arena is flooded with water. The ships float in. There is a naval battle. Now the gladiators cut and slash and wres tle and die. The Scene In the Arena. After awhile even this sport becomes tame. For what are they waiting? They are saving the best until the last They are now going to let loose the wild beasts upon the Christlaus. The twilight is coming on. Some of the Christians are bound and fastened to i»oles and covered with pitch and set afire to make human torches with which to light the dusk. While these flaming torches leap and splutter and play, in the center of the arena are huddled together scores of men and women who are about to die. While the merciless multitudes look on, the doomed Christians all kneel, except one old patriarch with long, white beard, who stands in their midst to lead In ——wa ' '’wvr- prayer. Now the iron gates are swung back. With one mighty leap, a huge lion lands upon the sands. At first the flaming torches blind his eyes and compel him to blink. Then be looks around upon the 200,000 human eyes watching him. Then the starving brute suddenly sees the trembling Christians In the center of the arena. He squats. His claws begin to work convulsively. He crawls nearer and nearer to his prey. He makes one leap. There’s a woman’s scream. Then with savage ferocity the African monster drags off the body and begins to munch the hones. Again the sport grows tame. The people are beginning to disperse; the human torches are going out; darkness is blotting out everything. With folded arms I turn to go down the steps, say ing to myself as I go, “Is it not awful that all these Christians should have been slain for nothing; that all this blood should have been uselessly spilt?’ Rut as I soliloquized thus a young girl touches my arm. I turn and look at her. She lias a sweet face. She says, “You do not know me?” "No,” 1 an swer; “I have never seen you before.” “Well,” she says, “I knew you. 1 saw you when you read my epitaph this morning in the catacombs. My fnthei and mother were eaten in this massa cre, but they are not dead. Come, let mo show you something. The Coli seum at this time is deserted.” But as the young girl speaks suddenly a strange light appears. The walls of the Coliseum begin to enlarge. The} grow so high that they lift themselves above the clouds; they grow so wide that, they are larger than two homi spheres. Then this huge Coliseum be gins to till up. Angels and archangels and all the redeemed of heaven till the galleries. Men and women of all na tionalities—white and black and yel low and brown—crowd into the seats which (ill the arena. The Eskimos of the arctic are there; the black men of the tropics are there; all peoples ar< there. Then a musical Lader takes hi* place in the center of the arena and lifts his baton. Suddenly all these voices swell into one great chorus ns they sing: Must Jesus hear the cross alone And all the world go free? No; there's a cross for every one, And there’s a cross for me. While that great multitude is sing ing I turn to my companion and say, “Who are these and whence came they?” “These,” she answers, “are the hosts of heaven. Those in the arena are the members of the living human race which are bending the knee to the name of Jesus Christ. That chorus is the echo of Raul's valedictory in the dungeon. This scene was depicted in the superscription which was written over the cross and which, in the Latin language, told the Jews that Jesus was to be the temporal as well as the spir itual king.” Oh, my brother and sis ter, as Christ is some day to rule per sonally over the two hemispheres, shall not you and I, by consecrated lives, try to hasten this glorious millennial day? Shall not our voices he lifted in praise, so that they shall some day find their full diapason in the song of Moses and the Lamb? The .llcHMiiKe of I lie Cro**. But the Hebrew superscription ought to be the most important to us all. It ought to he the most important be cause the Hebrew language has always been the symbol of God’s protecting and pardoning love. The Hebrews were God's favored people. So, when we read the superscription of the cross iu the Hebrew tongue, God seems to say to us as individuals, “I have sent my only begotten Son into the world that by his blood you may he pardoned of your sins and become part of my new kingdom.” We might believe that Christ is the Son of God. We might even believe that some day he shall rule from sea to sea, hut that belief will not make him our individual King and Saviour unless we can read our atonement in his death and his resur rection, which was by symbol written in the Hebrew inscription nailed upon the top of the cross. Can you not and will you not, by the Hebrew message, believe and accept the statement that Jesus Christ died to save you as indi viduals? He died to save you, oh, man, oh, woman, just as though you were the only sinner in all the universe. By the Hebrew superscription nailed to the cross I proclaim a universal par don and snlvi^ljon for all sinners. Jesus Christ once said, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so mast the Son of Man be lifted up.” So today 1 lift high the Hebrew superscrip tion of the cross. I cry out in the words of Bevelution/‘The Spirit and the Bride say come, and let him that heareth say come, and let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will let him come and take of the water of life freely.” Sin ner, today, through the atonement ns proclaimed In the Hebrew superscrip tion, will you come and worship the Christ of the Intellect, the Christ of coming universal domain, and also the Christ who died that we might all have a part in his future rulership? Would that we might one and all be able to interpret the three superscrip tions over the cross in the way that the dying Christians tried to interpret them. The watcher by the bedside heard her mother whisper: “Bring! Bring!” The daughter said to the dying woman, “Mother, what shall I bring?” “Oh,” answered the dying woman. “Bring! Bring!” Then the daughter asked again, “But, mother, what shall I bring?” “Why,” cried the dying wo man, “bring forth the royal diadem and crown him Lord of all.” May we one and all, by the blood of Jesus Christ, which was shed for sin, crown Christ King of the heart, King of the bead and King of the twi hemispheres. May we crown him a King of heaven and of earth, even as the superscription over the cross declared in three differ ent languages that Christ was the King of the Jews.
