Talmage Says Those Whe Bear Scars Shall Be Recompensed, br, Are Not Ashamed of Scars Got in Battle for Their Country--God Will Honor Them. Men [Copyright 1901.) Dr. Talmage praises Christian heroism and tells of great rewards. The text iz Gala- tians vi, 17, “I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” We hear much about crewns, thrones, victories, but I now tell the more quiet story of scars, honorable and dishonorable, There are in all parts of the world people bearing dishonorable scars. They went into the battle of sin and were worsted, and to their dying day they will have a sacrification of body or mind or soul. It cannot be hidden. There are tens of thousands of men and women now conse- orated to God and living holy lives who were once corrupt, but they have been re- they once were than rubesence is emacia- tion, than balm is vitriol, than nooday is midnight. But in their depleted physical health or mental twist or style of tempta- tion they are ever and anon remind of the obnoxious past. They have a memory that is deplorable. In some twinge of pain or some tendency to surrender to the wrong which they must perpetually resist they have an unwholesome reminiscence. They carry scars, deep scars, ignoble scars. But Paul in my text shows us a scarifi- cation which is a badge of honorable and self-sacrificing service. He had in his weak eyes the result of too much study, and in his body, bent and worn, the signa- ture’ of scourgings and shipwrecks and maltreatment by mobs. In my text he shows those scars as he declares, “I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus" Notice that it is not wounds, but scars, and a scar is a healed wound. Before the scar is well defined upon the flesh the ia- circulation must have been restored, snd new tissue must have been firmed. [It is a permanent indentation of the flesh-a cicatrix. Paul did well to show these scars. They were positive and indisputa ble proofs that with all his body, mind and soul he believed wna: he sais ; thev i had raduated from the school of hardship for ‘hrist; they were credentials proving his right to lead in the world's evangelization. Men are not ashamed of scars got in battle for their country. No American ig did you get that gash across your fore- head?’ and he can answer, “That was from a sabre cut at San Juan” When you ask some German, “Where did you lose your right arm?’ ke is not ashamed to say, “I lost it at Sedan When you ask an Italian, “Where did you lose your eye?” he is not annoyed when he can an- swer, “1 suffered that in the list battle under our glorious Garibaldi. But I re mind you of the fact that there are sears not got in war which are just as illus trious. We had in this country vears AZO an eminent advocate who was called into the Presidential Cabinet as Attorney-Gen- eral. Io midlife he was in a Phi adelphia equriroom engaged in an important trial The attorney on the opposite side of the tase got irritated and apgry, and in most brutal manner referred to the distin more deeply scarred than any face I ever saw.

They missed nothing in the way of childish disorders. Busy all day was that mother in every form of honse- work, and twenty times a night called up by the children, all down at the same tame with the same contagion. Her hair is white a long while before it is time for snow; her shoulders are bent long before the appropriate time for stooping. Spectacies are adjusted, some for close by and some for far off, years before you would have supposed her eyes would need re-enforcement. Here and there is a short ve in her pathway, this headstone ring the name of this child and another headstone bearing the name of another child. Hardly one bereavement lifts its shadow than another bereavement drops one, After thirty years of wifehood and motherhood the path turns toward the setting sun. She cannot walk as far as she used to. Colds caught hang on longer than formerly. Some of the children are in the heavenly world, for which they J prepared through maternal fidelity, and others are ouf in this world doing honor to a Christian ancestry. When her life closes and the neighbors gather for her obsequies, the oMciating eler, n may find appropriate words in “Her price is far above rubies. The heart of her hus. band doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. Bhe will do hima good, and mot evil, all the days of her life; she stretcheth out her hand to the Joa she is not afraid of the snow for her ousehold, for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
