Subject: The Victor's ShouleThe Joy of Overcoming DifficultiesThe Satis. faction Expressed by Christ on the Outeomne of His Earthly Labors, nyright Ie. } Wasnixarox, D. C. ~In this discourses Dr. Talmage shows in an unusual way the antagonisms that Christ overcame and finds a balsam for all wounded hearts; text, John xvii., 4, "'l have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do.” There is a profound satisfaction in the eompletion of anything we have under taken. We lift the capstone with exulta- tion, while, on the other hand, there Is nothing more disappointing than, after having tolled in a certain direction, to find that our time is wasted and our invest. ment profitless. Christ came to throw up a highway on which the whole world might, if it chose, mount into heaven, He did it. The foul mouthed erew who at. tempted to tread on Him could not ex. tinguish the sublime satisfaction which He expressed wher He sald: “I have Anished the work which Thou gavest Me do.” Alexander the Great was wounded, fk and and he seemed to be dylug, and in dream the sick man saw a plant his with a plant was put upon his wound and that immediately it was cured waking from his dream, told this to until he found just the kind of plant which the siek man had him, and the wound was healed, human race had bean hurt with the gh lest of all wounds-—that of sin. It was the business of Christ to bring a balm for that wound-—the balm of divine restora. tion. In earrying this business to a sue- aessful issue the difficulties were stupend. ous, Ia many of our pia to help us; son odraw a plan, others to belp jut Christ foug against bitter | stances all oale font, In the first pinee His worldly « ant- # we have our friends sketeh us in the execution, ineh of His way and amid elreuam- lepress and de every tility 1lated to livelihood by the carpenter's trade, an rupation respected jut you that in order to ment one on and I have carpentry were tion of a mission which required ail me tai and physical faculties, hard, dry, bi insensate haw a way for a new and sation was a stupendous was enough to demand trated energies aven of Christ, great many romantie nen with physical toll in intellectual partma t after a man has with adz and saw and 1 ax, about all he can do i= to rest body is an unfavorable adjunct to mind, You, whose life in purely sai, if you were calied to the upt a kiogdom, or the proclamation of # code of morals, or tha starting of tion which sald could get some [dea Christ's ocenpation mission.

To address orderly and respectful assemblages 18 not 0 easy as it may seem, but it requires tration to address an exasperated mob, ing of His reaches of His spiritual op-buliding. So also His habits of dress and dist were against Him. The mighty men of Christ's time did not appear in apparel without trinkets and adornments, None of Casars would have appeared in citizen's apparel. Yet here was a4 man, here was a professed king, who always wore the same coat. Indeed it was far from shabby, for after Hoe had worn it a long while hammer, bat all the wide robe, It man might easion, was a have oat that any ordinary worn on an ordinary oo. diet brought Him wine to drink shore He ate fish, first haviag broiled it Himself. No one fetched Him water to drink; but, Pnding over the well In Samaria, He begged a drink. He sat at only one banquet, and that not at all sumptuous, for to relieve the awkward. ness of the prepare wine for the company. Other kings ride in a chariot: He walked, On the sea. ahead and Christ's buroed applauding retinue was flahermen, subjects behind; mads up of sun. Other kings now remember, rowed, His poverty was against Him. It re. quires money to bulld great enterprises, Men of means are afrald of a penniless projector lest a loan be demanded, It re. fquires money to print books, to build in. stitutions, to pay instructors, No wonder the wise men of Christ's time Inughed at this penniless Christ. “Why.” they said, Who is to charter the ahips to earry the mis. sionaries? Who is to pav the salaries of teachers? Shall wealthy, established be discomfited by a penniless on a colt, and that bor- Christ?” The con«equence was that most of the people that followed Christ had nothing to lose. Affluent Joseph of Arimathea buried It is always safe to bury a Zaccheus risked no wealth or social posi. Nicodemus, wealthy Nicodemus, risked nothing of social position in following All this was against Christ, So the fact agsinst*Him. Ifa man come with diplo- mas of colleges and schools and theoiogieal But here was a man who had graduated at no college, had not in any academy by or. dinary means learned the alphabet of the language He spoke, and yet He proposed to founded the mightiest intellects, John sald, "The Jews marveled, saying, How bath this man letters, haviog never learned?’ We, in our day, have found out that a man without a diploma may know as much as a man with one and that a col- lege sannot transform a sloggard into a philosopher or atheological seminary teach a fool to preach. An empty head, after the laying on of hands of the presbytery, is eropty still, But it shoeked all existing prejudices in those olden times for a man with no saholastie pretensions und no graduation from a learned inetitution to go Himself up for a teacher, It was against im. Ho there have heen men of wonderful magnetism of person, But hear me while I tell you of a poor young Man who eame up from Namureth to produces a thrill % feh has never been excited by any other, Napoleon had around him the menrories of Marengo and Austerlitz and Jenn, bul Lore was a Man who had fought no battles, who wore no epaulets, who brandished no sword, He had probable never seen a prince or shaken hands with a nobleman. The only extraordinary person we know of as belog in His company was His own most delioate and solomn hour that comes to a woman's soul, sho was obliged to le down among drivers grooming the beasts of burden, — Again, I remark, there was no organiza tion in His behalf, and that was against Him. When men propose any great work, they band together, they write letters of agreement, they take oaths of fealty, and the more complete the orgsnization the more and complete the success, Here was one who went forth without any organiza- tion and alone, in His company, all right; if they had a mind not to join In His 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 him; that was all, All this was against Him. Did any one such an enterprise amid such infinite embarrassments and by such modes? And yet 1 am bere to say it ended in a complete triumph, Notwithstanding His worldly occupation, His poverty, His plain face, His unpretending garb, the fact that He was schoolless, the fact that a brief life, facet that He was visible organiza- notwithstanding all that, in an ex bilaration whieh shall be prolonged in everlasting chorals, He declared, ‘1 have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do, In the eye infirmary tow of thi alicate organ pr to {he tion napy diseases have bean cured? ¥ one Elind, "Be open! and the light of heaven rushes through gates that have never before bean opened frost of an ax may kill a tree, but one dead pith a word may do wonderful but what a wedding, wine gave « , conld change & pall of water into a cas yf wine?

This poverty struck Christ owned Augus- on its beach and all the skies that looked down into its water owned all the sarth and all the heavens To Him of the plain coat beloaged the onlestial royalty. He who Emmaus the light. pings were the fire shod steeds of His chariot, Yet there are those who look on and see Christ turn water into wine, and they say, "It was sleight of hand!” And they sen Christ raise the dead to life, and they say “Easily explained; not really dead; playing dead!” Aud they sce Christ giving sight tothe blind man, and they say, "Clalrvoyant doetor!” Ob, what shall they do on the day when Christ rises up in judgment and the hills shall rook nd the trumpets shall eall, peal on peal? In the time o' Theodosius the Great there was a great assault made upon the divin ity of Jesus Christ, and during that time Theodosius the Great ealled his own son to sit on the throne with bim and be a copart- ner in the government of the empire, and one day the old bishop came and bowed down before Theodosius, the emperor, and was offended, saying to the old bishop, “Why didn’t you pay the same honor ernment?’ hen the old bishop turned to the young man and said, “The Lord bless thee, my young man.” but still paid him no such honor as he had paid tothe Emperor. And the Emperor was still offended and displeased when the old bishop turned to Theodosius the Great and said to him, pay the same honor to your son, whom yon bave made copartner in the government of this empire, the same honor I pay to you, and yet you encourage ad of peo. ple in your realm to deny the Bon of God Father.” My subject algo reassures us of the fact that in all our struggles we have a sympa. thizer. You cannot tell Christ anything new about bardship. I donot think that wide agea of eternity will take the scars from His punctured side and His iacerated temples and His sore hands. You will never have a burden weighing so many pounds as that burden Christ carried up the bloody bill, You will never have any suffering worse than He endured when, with tongue bot and eracked and Inflamed and swollen, He moaned, “I thirst.” You will never be surrounded by worse hostility than that which stood around Christ's feet, foaming, reviling, livid with rage, howling down His prayers and snuffing ap the smell of blood, O yo faint hearted, O ye troubled, O ye persecuted One, bere is a heart that can sympathize with you! Again, and lastly, I learn from all that bas been said to-day that Christ was aw. fully in earnest. If it had not been a mo- mentous mission, He wodid have turned back from it disgusted and discouraged. He saw you in a captivity from which He war resolved to extricate you cost Him all sweat, all tears, all came a great way to save yon, from Bethlehem here, through the place of skulls, through the charnel bouse, through banishment. .
