FomnsKHWEYCDRE ^ Hakaa Kldnays and Bladder Rlflht Chicago, Oct. 11.—In this sermon the preacher draws the distinction between the worldly and the spiritual estimate of greatness and shows the character of the training and preparation neces sary for true greatness. The text is Matthew xi. 11, “There hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.” “Great men, great events and great epochs grow bigger and more colossal as the years pass away from them,” once wrote the biographer of Robert Burns. 1 ike the mountain shadows they increase in size and their reputa tions lengthen in importance as the sun of their day sets and the long night of their rest separates us from them. Like the mythological heroes and heroines of old, their leaders’ brows become luminous with crowns of gold. Abraham Lincoln dead is a great deal more honored man than Abraham Lin coln alive. When Edwin M. Stanton turned to the sorrowful group of friends who had gathered about the deathbed of the famous statesman and said. “We must now leave him to the ages,” even the firm jawed secretary of war did not realize how great a man the ages would consider his chief to be. No cathedral impresses us so much as Hie venerable pile that is covered with moss and creeping ivy. Man is seldom called great and truly great until he has been dead at least twenty years. But standing today under the length ening shadows of many great reputa tions these imminent questions natural ly arise In many minds: What Is true greatness? What are the elements which distinguish the truly noble from the merely selfishly famous? Was Jay Gould truly a great man? In his day no one man or collection of -men were more feared in Wall street than he. He was truly a “Napoleon of finance," a Napoleon with this one difference— that Jay Gould never met his Water loo. He was never compelled to sur render. as did Daniel Drew and Cyrus Field and hosts of other financiers who were outmanipulnted by this arch financial manipulator. Stamped With Divine Approval. Can Napoleon himself truly be called a great man, great in all the elements which go to make up true greatness? When his companion in arms, Marshal Lannes, was shot on the fatal retreat from Moscow, lie called the emperor to his side and said: "Your majesty, I am your friend. I am dying, and this is my parting advice: Give up your merciless ambitions, or they will ruin you, as they have already ruined thou sands of others.” Did not the dying soldier picture the French emperor as he was? With the penetration that often comes to the dying ho saw be neatb the splendor and grandeur of the conqueror a man mean of soul, selfish and unscrupulous. Can Robert Burns, so morally weak that he was the vic tim of intemperance, be called a truly great man? Lord Byron, the licentious destroyer; or Thomas De Quincey, the opium eater; or Mark Antony, the trai tor; or Cicero, the coward; or Lord Ba con, the taker of bribes—can they be called truly great men? “Well,” you say. “instead of picking flaws In the reputations of men of commanding genius, tell us who is truly a great man. Give us one whose character is stamped with the divine approval. Describe such a one, that we may copy his life.” That I will do. my friend, and do gladly. Such a char acter Is to be found in John the Bap tist. Though we may go Into the rich est of all palaces and stand upon the most famous of all battlefields and read the epitaphs of all the poets, phi losophers, statesmen, Inventors, reform ers, we cannot find anywhere in any generation up to the time of Jesus Christ a name standing so high as his, of whom Jesus said, “Verily, verily, 1 say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist, not withstanding ho that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” John the ItnptlNt'M Glory. The purpose of this sermon is to show why John the Baptist was great er than all other men before Christ’s Jordanlc baptism — John the Baptist great, although he was so poor that his home was among the rocks and sands of the wilderness, lying be tween the capital and the Dead sea; so poor that his only garments were the coarse skin of the wild beast, through the holes of which stretched his long limbs and hairy chest; so poor that his only food was the grasshop pers or locusts and the honey which had been hidden by the bees among the caverns and the bills. From the world’s standpoint this Is a strange portrait of a great man. But how wonderful is its setting. The fa bled portrait was of a gold face with a silver frame, but the portrait of John the Baptist is a silver face with a gold frame. Like a ruby glowing red It is set in a circle of most precious dia monds. Like a mirror of burnished brass, pure and spotless, It reflects the light of a rising sun. It was John the Baptist’s glory that he was the har binger of a greater than himself. As the direct forerunner of the Son of God he came at the suprem* crisis of the world’s history. Ills name was thus linked with the most momentous of all events and derives a luster from the connection. There seems to be a nat ural law that great men should always bo Identified with great events. Sometimes great events do not op portunely produce the right kind of men for both conflicting sides. After the famous buttle of Blenheim, when the Duke of Marlborough had com pletely routed the forces of the French king, the conqueror saw among the prisoners a stalwart grenadier, who, though a captive, was still an unsub dued enemy. “Ah,” said the duke, "if Louis XIV. had had a hundred thou sand such men as you the results of this battle might have been differen t.” With that the French soldier saluted the English commander as he politely said. “ 'Tis not a hundred thousand grena diers such as I the French king needs, my general, but just one such military commander as you.” But. though great events do not always produce for every army a Marlborough, yet great men are produced only by great occasions. Great thoughts are born only amid the throes and convulsions of great agonies. Great hopes are only the rainhowed colors arching the dark heavens, black with angry tempests. TruiniiiK For Greatness. There must be a training for great ness. The occasion does not create greatness; it only develops and pro duces it. It cannot create or make greatness out of common clay. We do riot assort that history can play a Han del’s “Messiah” upon a dinner plate or blow a bugle blast with a penny whis tle or catch thunderbolts with a straw hat or shoot mastodons with pins or strangle volcanoes with spider webs. The old poets said that when worlds are used for shuttlecocks and the uni verse is a playground and all infinity is ablaze with the conflagration then the very gods themselves must take part in the sport. It needs stronger arms than yours or mine to pitch islands for quoits, to bowl .down mountains for tenpins, to swing hemispheres as an athlete hurls the hammer, or, with stamp of foot, to make the submerged continent Atlantis, which once stretch- ed between the old world and the new, with a dying gurgle sink and disappear. But great needs bring great men from obscurity into prominence. The occa sion furnishes the opportunity. Ulysses S. Grant would have lived and died an unknown tanner but for the civil war. The Duke of Wellington could not have become the dictator of Europe had he not overthrown at Waterloo the little Corsican, who threatened to crush all nations. Cromwell would have been unknown to fame and his life would have been that of a simple country gen tleman had not Charles I. been obsti nately determined to seal his royal follies with his royal stubbornnesses. Great men are produced only by great emergencies. This premise being grant ed, what greater event is there in all history than that of the coming of the promised Messiah? How much it meant to the world and to us! What life of eternal joy have we except that which revolves about the personality of him who was once baptized by John the Baptist in the river Jordan? What hope have we of ever meeting our loved ones, our parents and our friends who have gone beyond except through the Divine Being of whom John the Baptist was the direct forerunner? Oh, my friends, as John the Baptist’s name was great by being linked to the name of Jesus Christ at his first com ing, will you not make your name great by doing your part toward preparing the world for Christ’s second coming? A brave hearted American officer dur Ing the Spanish war was made famous by plunging alone into the Cuban Jun gles to carry to Garcia the memorable message that American succor for downtrodden Cuba had been proclaim ed. Will you not carry forth the news that Christ is coming to the help of his struggling followers? As the swift footed runner from the bloody battle field of Marathon startled all Athens with the news that the Persian invad ers had been hurled back, will you not spread abroad the news that the vic tory has been won by our Christ over sin and death and that he is coming again to rule the world in righteous ness? Be u Paul Revere to summon to arms and yet to call to victory. Be a herald of good tidings, as well as a messenger to assemble God’s “minute- men.” A Forerunner of Good. John the Baptist was a direct fore runner. He was more than that. He was ready to sink and submerge and entirely cover up his individuality with the personality of Jesus Christ. He was ready to let Christ be all in all. He wanted to be merely a footlight to make the divine face shine forth the more clearly. He was willing to de crease so that the glory of his Saviour might increase. Do w’e, like John the Baptist, sink our individualities in Christ’s or do we, like some of the an cient forerunners of the east preceding the king’s chariots, wish to be dressed so gorgeously and to make so much noise that people will be watching us and admiring our strides instead of turning their eyes toward the royal Master whom we art proclaiming? Let us never give occasion In our service to our Divine King for such a charge to be made against us as the Spanish pre mier, Ca novas, once made against the egotism of Emilio Castelar. ‘ There is one great trouble with Castelar,” he said. “He always wants to be first in everything. If he goes to a bullfight he wants to be the espada, if to a wed ding he wants to be the bridegroom, if to a funeral he wants to be the corpse.” In our work for our Divine Master are we animated by the spirit of Castelar? Are we wishing that all eyes shall be turned upon us instead of upon Jesus? Are we trying to preach so that men may say, “That is a fine sermon?” or are we trying to preach so that, as when Demosthenes ha rangued, his auditors cried, “Let us go and fight Philip!” our hearers may say. “Come, let us enlist under the banner of Jesus?” Are we ready to sink our individualities In Christ as Samuel Adams sank his individuality In the interesta of American liberties? The great Massachusetts patriot did not care whether or no people honored him as long as they would work In free dom’s cause. The result was that Sam uel Adams spent most of Ills life in de veloping for the cause of liberty the young men. It was his master hand which molded a Joseph Warren, a John Adams, a John Hancock. Are we, like Samuel Adams, ready to sink ourselves in Christ? A KaiuoiiM Personality. But let us inquire a little more closely how John the Baptist submerged his life In Christ. Jesus was an unknown man at the time John, the hermit and recluse, was making the very palace walls at Jerusalem shake. Up to thirty years of age Jesus was an unknown dweller in a country village. The whole extent of Christ’s earthly ministry ex tended over only a short period of three or four years. We read of Jesus when he was born. Then he disappears. We read of him twelve years later, when, as a boy. be talks with the doctors in the temple. Then he again disappears for eighteen long years. Up to thirty years of age Christ was politically and sociologically an unknown factor in eastern life. In the meantime who was this John the Baptist? This second young man. of about the same age as Jesus, was the most famous personality in the east. He had lived as a hermit But the voice he lifted reached not only echoed throughout the villages, but al so throughout the great capital itself. The rich and the poor, the old and the young, the government officials and the peasant alike left their homes to sit at his feet. Great crowds swarmed about this strange teacher wherever he went. They pressed into his caves as though they were temples. As a result John built up a great school of devotees and baptized his followers by hundreds and thousands. Many of them were ready to bow down and worship him as a temporal as well as a spiritual king. Yet when Jesus appeared tills illus trious man was ready, and gladly ready, to surrender all for Christ. Like John the Baptist, are we willing to lay our fame, our wealth and our entire life work at Jesus’ feet? Great was John the Baptist! At the risk of his life he was ready to de nounce and attack the intrenched and the practically invulnerable sins of that day. He was not one of those men who always stop and ask, “Does it pay?” before they attempt to do what they ought to do. He preached on the duties of men and waged war against wickedness in high places. He declar ed against evils as mighty in his day as the liquor traffic is in ours and never condoned crime though the criminal was a king. He was ready to look the hideous monster sin squarely in the face and then hit at that sin, though his arm might seem to be as helpless and weak as the hand of a young girl striking at the wild beast leaping upon her in the Roman arena. He called a spade a spade, a lie a lie, an adultery an adultery, blasphemy blasphemy and hypocrisy hypocrisy wherever they were found. He denounced and ex coriated the sins of the Jewish church. When Herod, the governor, fell in love with his own brother's wife and mur dered Philip that he might marry her. John instantly hurled the divine con demnation against the ruler. He raised such a storm of popular indignation that Herod flung him into prison, and afterward, at the behest of his step daughter, who was dancing before him at a drunken feast, he beheaded John and gave to her the bloody trophy upon a charger. Oh. my brother, dare we. with John’s courage, attack intrenched sin wherever it may be found? Like John the Baptist, are we great enough and brave enough, no matter what the direct cost may be, to uphold the great principles of gospel truth in the store, the home, the factory, the city hall- aye, through the sacred aisles of the church itself? Dare we do tiffs even though the earthly “powers that be” should unsheathe the glittering sword of death and wave it over our heads and the heads of our loved ones? When Geleyn de Muler was led forth to die. he said, “Were the heavens a pearl and the earth a globe of gold, and were 1 the owner of all, most cheerfully would I give them all to live with my wife and children; yet I dare not and can not renounce the truth.” Would yon and I, if necessary, rather than re nounce the truth be brave enough, like a Muler, a Huss, a Paul, a John the Baptist, to have our bleeding bodies laid as a sacrifice ui>on truth’s altar? Great In Death. But, though John the Baptist was great in life, he was also great in death. Like the pioneer who enters the American forests and cuts away the trees and pulls up the stumps and builds the home and plants the corn, in order that his children may reap the harvests after the father is gone, so John the Baptist, not for himself, but for those who should come after him, lived his life and at last laid it down, a martyr. His death was the begin ning of a series of martyrdoms, as the ambassador’s death in Peking in the uprising of 1900 was the first signal to the foreigners that they must battle for their lives. John’s death was as beneficent in Its results as that moth er’s death might be which would bring together the warring factions of her family and reunite them beside the al tar of her casket. If you follow the teachings of the Bible very carefully you will find there was a war, a rivalry, a Jealousy, be tween the followers of Jesus Christ and the followers of John. There was no war between John and Christ No sooner did Jesus appear than John bent the knee and rendered unto him full and complete obedience. But this obedience was not true in refer ence to the Johannlan school. In the fourth chapter of John we find that In order to still this rivalry Christ with bis followers left the southern regions of Judaea and traveled north and went throngh Samaria. But no sooner was John the Baptist dead than his dis ciples took the headless trunk of his body and buried it and “went and told Jesus.” Ah. yes. by John’s death all these factions were healed. The Jo- hamflnn school became in toto the “school of the Nazarene.” Is it not a blessed thought that if we live for Christ tiffs side of the grave we may still continue to live in influence for Christ after we are dead? John the Baptist, great before his sacrifice! John the Baptist, great after he vas mar tyred ! PofttliutnonM Influence. That posthumous influence is mighty for good or evil we all know. We have felt it. In the village where my grand father lived there labored for many years a gospel minister. He never seemed to see any great results from his ministry. Everybody loved him, yet friw confessed Christ under his preaching while he was alive. But no sooner was that good man dead than a mighty revival of religion sprang up. My father said that at one communion 300 people confessed Christ in the little village church. And the remarkable fact about that revival was that every one of those new converts traced his conversion directly to the teachings and influence of the dead pastor. Posthu mous influence, a mighty influence! Gustavus Adolphus dead at Lutzen more powerful in influence than Gus tavus Adolphus when alive. John Wyclif’s ashes by the waters of the Avon were carried into the Severn and by the Severn into the sea, so by the stream of death the good man’s influ ence lives on by being mingled in the great “sea of humanity.” Oh. yes. after deatli we shall live on. A good influ ence. like that of John the Baptist, shall never, never die. But, though I honor and extol the no hie characteristics of this great man. there is still another lesson we must learn from the verse of my text. Christ said, “There hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.” Oh. yes. that was true as far as it went. True, if you speak in reference to those men and women who lived before Jesus was born. But there is one part of the verse you must well bear in mind. It is the last part and goes thus: “Yet, not withstanding this, he that is toast in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." What does that mean? Simply this: If you and I become part of Jesus Christ, if we accept his atonement and are cleansed by his blood, we become in a sense greater, aye, far greater, than the greatest man who ever lived who has not been sanctified by the Sav iour’s sacrifice. A Thought Illaatrated. Perhaps 1 can illustrate the Bible thought in a simple way. A great wall or fortress has to be built. The work must be pushed. One group of work men ascend the scaffolding and lay on one layer of stone and then go to their rest. Another group lay another layer of stone upon the preceding layer and then go to their rest. And so the work upon the wall grows higher and high er, each group of workmen standing upon a loftier scaffolding than that of the preceding laborers. Well, the great wall of progress has been builded in this way. Each generation represents a batch of workmen, eacli layer of stone the completed work of the pre ceding generation. The college boy of today knows more of geography, more of chemistry, more of astronomy, more of all the sciences, than the ablest man living three centuries ago. Why? Be cause lie has absorbed the compact knowledge of the last 300 years, which the great scholars of those three cen turies have laid at his feet. But as the wall of mental and spir itual progress went on growing higher and higher century after century sud denly about 1,900 years ago spiritually it took a miraculous lift. Christ’s sac rifice was laid upon the top of it. The Calvary stones were the layers of the year 30 A. D. Those stones will lift all succeeding generations higher in knowl edge and in possibilities, higher than all sin and higher than all future con demnations. I once heard a worldly man say: "The best man that ever lived never went to heaven on his own merits. If we ever reach the city of the redeemed, it must be through what Christ has done for us and not through what we have done for ourselves.” This statemeut contains the kernel, the essence, the heart of all the gospel. John the Baptist In his own life great? Y’es! “Yet, notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven Is great er than he.” Now. my friends, from a worldly standpoint it is almost impossible to compare the influences of different lives and to positively find out which one is the greater. “Who has done the most for his country, Washington or Lincoln?” “Who was the father of the most brains, John Adams or Lyman Beecher?” “W’hich was the greater, Caesar or Napoleon?” are themes that will always be argued resultlessly. But, though we cannot tell who is the great er in a worldly sense, we do know that In a spiritual sense no one can be great save through Christ’s blood.
