THK ORIGINAL ULXATtVC SOUGH 8VRUP KENNEDY’S LAXATIVE HONEY-TAB M CUrtr SImmid *n< Bmcv Sm m tvary !.os Angeles, Cal., Nov. 10.- In thin Lennon we learn the great and Inspir ing spiritual truth that divine re-en forcement comes to all who in the crisis of life place their trust in God and do their duty cheerfully and faith fully. The text is Isaiah Hi. 12. "The God of Israel will be your rereward.” An old otlieer said to me some time ago: “Though the details of fighting may change, yet, after all, the great formations of battle lines from time immemorial have been practically the same. The battles of the civil war wore specimens of this formation. First comes the forward line of skir- mishors. These sharpshooters are scat tered abroad about 300 yards in front of the main body of men. These are the men who spy out the laud and re ceive the first attack and give the main troops time to prepare for action. Then comes the main line of battle. Shoul- tler to shoulder the soldiers are formed, sometimes in one rank, sometimes in two and even three ranks deep. This iine stretches away, with its right and left flanks firmly intrenched. Then back of the main line of battle is what we old soldiers used to call the reserve force." ••What is the purpose of that reserve force V” 1 asked. “Well.” answered the ,>id soldier, “the general in .command, with his field glass, takes Ids position far to the rear on some eminence over looking the entire army. There he watches the mobilizing of the enemy. He sees where the attacks are to be made. Then when the crash comes ml the charging troops are hurled gainst any one part of his lines and that part threatens to give way the ommanding general sends forward his reserve force. Then the wavering tr ions are steadied and the battle goes on. until at last the victory is won by one si ie or the other.” -Well.” 1 answered, “the main pur pose of this ‘rear guard’ or ‘reserve force’ is to keep a large part of the troops back of the main line of battle to re-enforce any part of that line which is being overwhelmed by too great an attacking force?” “Just that and nothing else,” my old friend said. “It is absolutely imperative for a line of battle to le kept straight. If one part is defea ed all will be defeated. Thus, in order to help the wavering troops of one i art of his line, the com manding general keeps some of his best soldiers by his side in a reserve force to send them forth to succor those who are being worsted in the conflict.” “Ah,” I answered, “this is the first time I have ever had a clear con ception of what Isaiait meant In a familiar passage." In the fifty-second chapter lie exhorts the church to go forth and do the work God has given her to do, and he encouraged her with the promise. “For ye shall not go out with haste nor by flight, for the Lord will go before you. and the God of Israel will he your rereward.” That means the Lord God Almighty will tie a reserve force for ids people in the hard struggle of life. Now I want to show you how God manipulates his rear guard so as to help us in our tight against sin and in our battles for the redemption of tht* world. I realize in Fie first place that it would l»e useless to have a rear guard for an army unless at the same time von have a commanding general who is in absolute control of all the dif- flerent parts of the army. That gen eral must uot only be in supreme com mand, but he must be able to detail every individual soldier of every body of troops to just the position he would have him take upon the battlefield. As the chess player can move forward his queen and knights and pawns, In order to overthrow the stronghold of his an tagonist, so the commanding general must have absolute control of all the army or else there Is no practical use for a rear guard. And It Is the general who has the most perfect control of all his troops who can make the most effective nse of his rear guard. Use of a Rear Guard. Perhaps you have seen that wonder ful picture of Napoleou at Austerlitz. There he is upon the hillside, seated upon his famous white horse, overlook ing the field of battle. He is surround ed by his stall. The field glass is in his hands. The orderlies are galloping ev erywhither. Off in the distance you cau see the smoke of carnage. You can almost tmir the shouts of triumph aud the groans of the dying. Yet you focus your study not so much upon the battlefield as ou the flashing eye of the emperor, lor you kuow that every part of that line of battle has been or dered by him. You kuow that this one military chieftain can speak a word and his troops move in strict obedi ence to his will. Now, the application of this fact Is this: Upon the great battlefield of life can God. as the Di vine Commander, be sure that we shall be aud do exactly as he pleases? Cau ho say unto us. “Go,” and we go; “Stop,” and we stop; "Do this,” and we do it? There Is no use of a rear guard for our succor unless we are in the place where the Divine Command er has willed. You know what that position Is. You know deep down In your heart what Gou wants yon to do Brother, are you olicying his will? The question l> not as to the situation aud work of othe:- men. hut are you wlT. tug in God’s sight to stand lu the post tlon he has appointed for yout But there Is another fact which forces Itself upon me. God not only details us to certain positions in the line of battle, but he expects us to bear our part well in the heat of the struggle and be ready to suffer with fortitude in tbe conflict. He does uot send us forth ns Christian soldiers for a dress parade. He does not want us to while away the pleasant summer days in a toaslde enearapment. He places us upon Uie line of battle to fight In Ills name. The Christian soldier, like ev ery other good soldier, must struggle and suffer and bear the pangs of hun ger aud thirst aud prove his valor by the honor marks of many wounds. The Christian life is uot a time for sport. It is an opportunity for conflict and for warfare and for attacks and for bleeding wounds and for suffering and agony and for grave trenches. And yet to hear some people talk you would never suppose that Christ spoke with any meaning when lie said, “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth, but a sword.” Or in that other pas sage when he said, “Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and perse cute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my name’s sake.” Does that imply that God is ex pecting his Christian, soldiers to have an easy time and not suffer in the strife of a bloody battlefield? What commanding general ever placed his soldiers in line of battle unless he in tended them to fight? Hancock’s Action. Furthermore, does he not place his strongest and bravest soldiers in the most dangerous places? A regiment may be a small part of the army en gaged, yet the result of the whole bat tle may turn ou the way it acts In a crisis. As Hancock shouted to his men as he rode along the lines at Gettys burg, when Pickett’s valorous columns came surging upon them, “Men, stand fast; hold the lines; the safety of the whole army depends upon it; you must hold the lines,” so the Divine Commander details us to positions in the line of battle where the onslaught may lie directed. He saj’s: “Take the stand there. Fight there! Bleed there! If necessary, die there! Thou art a Christian soldier, and Christian war fare is a time for unlimited sacrifice.” My friend, if you are not today in a line of gospel battle, if you are not today suffering for Christ’s sake, then one fact is self evident—you are. not doing the work God has given you to do. Oh, Christian warrior, where are your sears? Where are the marks of struggle? Where have you been win ning triumphs for your Divine Master and King? Is your name today upon the honor roll of those Christian sol diers who have come through great tribulation and have had their robes washed In the blood of the Lamb? The Legend of the Tree. Dr. N. P. ITillis in one of his books tells tlds beautiful legend: Many years ago u king and his people heard of a wonderful region in the far east to which they longed to go and in which they wished to settle. They decided to pull down their tents and gather their flocks and herds together and emigrate. But, though many tilings were willing ly left behind, the king was loath to leave a famous tree on the side of which were carved the names of his ancestors aud the deeds of his heroic people. But tiie tree was heavy to carry, and the king was almost per suaded to leave it behind. But there was one youth in ids household who loved the king i:r.i !i and begged the honor of transporting the king’s treas ure. It was a heavy tree to lift, but the young iniin shouldered It. Day aft er day the emigrants journeyed on. Because the tree was so heavy the youth at first had to full behind, and often it was late at night before he reached the camp. But he learned to love his task. Then It was found that each day by carrying Ids burden the youth grew stronger Then It was found that his comrades in the en campment who carried the lightest loads grew weaker. Then it was found that the youth who bore the famous tree was able to carry It easily up steep mountains, for this magic tree put forth < lusters of richest fruits to quench hi", thirst. At last when the pilgrims reached the far country In all the trilie there was no one so strong and happy us the youth who had car ried the heaviest load. Then said the kiug and bis [>eople, “Blessed is he who hungers for the hardest tasks.” So God places all his Christian soldiers id the line of gospel battle. The men who are willing to make the greatest sacrifices and do the most valiant deeds for their Divine Commander are tbe Christian soldiers who grow the strongest aud are the happiest In bis dear sen-ice. Where are your scars, O Christian soldiers? What burdens have you borne for him in the heat of tbe day? But though tbe Diviue Commander may detail us to the most dangerous positions in the line of battle, though he may allow the conflict of life to wage fiercely about us, though be may let the blows of the enemy strike heavy and deep aud often fetch the heart’s blood, yet he will never allow us to be overwhelmed and defeated if we trust him and do what he wants us to do and rely on his loving care. “Whom the I/>rd loveth he ebasteneth. and scourgeth every one whom he re- celveth.’’ That is tbe one rule of serv ice. That is the diviue law which af firms that every true gospel soldier must bear the scars of battle. But the other ass urn nee Is Just as sure and far reaching. “God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, hut will with the temptation also make a way to escape tin t ye'may Im* able to i»enr It.” Thai means iu plain Kiigl.-.i .vheu tbe strug gles of life her. ii.i* . great that yon cannot beer them in your own strength then God will send forward Ids diviue reserves and his rear guard to succor you and bring victory where defeat Is threatening you on every side. Could there be any better or more inspiring and consolatory word? “For ye shall not go out with haste nor by flight, for the Lord will go before you, aud the God of Israel will be your rere ward.” The Line of Battle. Here is a picture of the line of bat- ie. Yonder are the two flanks of the army, thoroughly intrenched and pro tected from the line of fire. Here is the center of the army made up of men with stern faces fighting for their lives. Again and again the enemy charges. The brigade and the division commauders become frightened. Away their staff oflicers gallop to head quarters, begging and beseeching for re-enforcements. “We must have more troops or we are lost!" is the cry. but the far seeing eye of the commander In chief sweeps the field with his glass j and answers: “Not yet! The rear guard must be held in leash for awhile. Not yet! Go back to your generals and tell them to hold their positions a little longer!” Still the battle rages. But just as the enemy have concentrated their fires and moved forward on a grand charge, then the commander says: “Order up the rear guard. This Is the psychological moment. Now let the great forward movement be made.” Then the reserve force, like a great avalanche, sweeps on, and the charging force is halted. Then the enemy is driven back. Then the charge is turned into a rout and a fly ing mob. So it is with the Divine Commander. He lets us struggle on and on. He lets us struggle until all seems lost. Then with a mighty clar ion call he moves up his reserve force and turns our impending defeat into a glorious victory, for "the God of Israel shall be your rereward.” O, Christian soldiers, is not this military figure the picture of your past life? Do you not remember the time years i ago when you got entangled lu the 1 meshes of that financial difficulty? Like Schuyler Colfax, implicated In the scandal of the Credit Moblller rascali ties, you knew you were honest. You kuetv that a dishonest dollar had never stuck in the palm of your hand. But somehow you could uot make your ac counts balance. Disgrace was facing not only you, but your wife and chil dren. You can remember the scene as though it was yesterday The ulght before the accounting must be made you went to your room and locked the door aud knelt by your bed and said: “O God, thou knowest I am honest! Thou knowest 1 have done no wrong. Thou alone canst help rue. Save my good name. Save me for the honor of my family.” Then it was as though by a miraculous power you were saved. You found the slip of paper which held the link to the chain of financial evidence. Or the man who had stolen the money from the trust fund returned it. And when all seem ed lost God saved you by the advanc ing “rear guard,” for “the God of Israel will be your rereward.” Great Life’s Troubla. Or perhaps your great trouble of life came to you as it has come to many of us. Under false pretenses you were persuaded to take a certain positiou. No sooner were you installed in that position than you became involved in a fight over which you had no control. You found that you were the center of two bitter factious. You dared not run. That would be cowardly. To stand still made you the inheritor of long years of discord and dissension. What were you to do? Where were you to go? Conditions seemed to grow worse every minute. Then when all seemed lost God sent forward his rear guard. Then it was that the divine aid manifested itself. Oh, my brother, can you not thank God that he has come to your aid in the great exigen cies of life? Have you not four or five distinct remembrances of when yon have been saved by him. as it were, by the breadth of a hair? But there is auother great fact about this rear guard. It is always com posed of the best soldiersMn the army... Its numbers may not be very large. It may be comprised, as an old soldier told me, of only two brigades out of three whole divisions. But It is made up of true aud tried veterans. For those who compose the rear guard must have proved themselves able to stand the test. So I have always felt that God has for us a rear guard made up of the best Christian forces we have ever known. They are the good men and the women who have stood behind us ever since we were born. And during the great moral and spirit ual struggles, in God’s name as well as in the name of infinite love, they have always come to oar rescue. To the Rescue. And the peculiar fact about this rear guard la: The older we grow the more their spiritual help seems to be by our side. For Instance, take that rear guard of the old homestead. One would naturally suppose those vet erans’ usefulness was ended. Why. your father and mother have been dead for at least twenty years. Then the last five years of her life your mother was a helpless, physical in valid. She spent most of her time in bed. She was so weak that she could not even read. You now can hear your sister reading to her hour after hour. Then as for walking, that was out of tbe question. She had fallen upon the ice aud broken her hip, and the bones never knitted again. Oh. what a useless Christian warrior abe thought she was! And yet as the years roll on she is drawing nearer and nearer to you. When tbe temptations of life come you can see her face. You can feel her touch. You can hear the words of advice she used to give. Why, her favorite passages of Scrip ture are today ringing in your memory. Ood has made her love, her prayers, her words of counsel, your rear guard. Do not tell me she is dead. She is plead ing with you now to surrender your heart to tbe Master’s touch. But there is another impressive fact about God’s reserves. As the Divine Commander lias detailed certain Salut ed spirits of the past and preseut to aid us in the battle of life, so God would detail us to be spiritual rear guard* for some of our dear ones. What our Christian mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers have l»een to us we shall be to our children and our friends. There are spiritual lives depending upon us 'as our spirit ual welfare has depended upon the faithfulness of others in the past. And. oh. my friends, what an awful eternal calamity is going to befall some of those who are near and dear to us If we do uot do our duty to them as their spiritual rear guard! The Last Thought. You must bear well in mind that those souls Will stand before the judg ment seat of Christ and will think of us and what we have done or should have dene for them. The most over whelming moment of my ministerial career was when this fact was driven home to me in a way 1 shall never for get. It was Sabbath evening, July 20, 1007. We were tossing about upon the Pacific ocean. We had Just saved some 115 lives from a watery grave. At the request of the passengers I was holding a service in the cabin. Just as I arose to speak a lady came and took my baud. She looked ear nestly into my face as she said: “Dr. Talmage, I was ou board the steamer Columbia when she sank this moru- ing. I thought you were a thousand miles away. Last Sunday morning I was in your church and heard you preach. And I want to tell you that when the ship gave a lurch and went down to her watery grave, and I was pitched Into the sea, the last thought that I had when I expected to meet my God was of you and your sermon.” 1 never asked her what that thought was. I was afraid to kuow. I said, “Can it be that the words which 1 speak, perhaps at random, may so in fluence some man. some woman, for or against Ood that with them they shall march up to meet their Divine King at the judgment seat of Christ?” Thus God has sent you, O man aud woman, to be a spiritual rear guard for your fellow men. Are you doing for others as your Christian parents and friends In the past have done for you? Thus Isaiah, 700 years before Christ was born in the Bethlehem stable, is enunciating in the words of my text the same gospel truth as Paul, the greatest of the apos tles. taught in the sixth chapter of Ga latians. after Christ ascended from Mount Olivet The scenes arc almost identical. They both represent a strug gle. God, the great commander in chief, is detailing us to certain duties. Thus Paul, as he sees a great load upon our back, says, ‘Every man shall bear his own burden.” That means God expects us to stand in the difficult places on the line of battle. Then Paul says in the same chapter, “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” That meaus every Chris tian soldier shall be a rear guard to every other Christian soldier. Then over those two commandments the psalmist writes these words, “Cast thy burdeh upon the Lord and be shall sustain thee.” So God will help us bear the burdens of life while we try to bear our own burdens and the bur dens of our dear ones. “For ye shall not go out with haste nor go by flight for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rere ward.” [Copyright, 1907, by Louis Klopsch.] Sour Stomach No appetite, loss cl rtrength, i ne.'s, headache, constipation, bad breath, general debility, sour risings, and catarrh o' the stomach are all duetto indigestion, iCodoi relieves indigestion.
