“REV. DR. TALMAGE, THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN. DAY SERMON. Subject: “Christ the Conqueror.” Text: * Who is this that cometh from Edom with dyed garments from Boarah-—this that is glorious in His apparel, traveling in the greal- ness of His strength?” Isaiah Ixiil,, 1 Edom and Bograh, having been the scene 01 fleroe battle, when those words are used here or in any other part of the Bible they | mre figures of speech setting forth scenes of gevere confliet, As now we often use the word Waterloo to deseribe a decisive contest of any kind, so the words Bozrah and Edom In this text are figures of speech desariptive of a scene of great slaughter, Whatever else the prophet may have meant to deseribe, he most certainly meant to depict the Lord Jesus Christ saving, “Who is thisthat cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, traveling in the greatness of His strength?” When a general is about to go out to the wars, a flag aud a sword are publicly pre- | pented to him, and the maidens bring flow ers, and the young men load the cannon, and the train starts amid a huzza that Arowns the thunder of the wheels and the shriek of the whistle, But all this will give no idea the excitement that there must have been in heaven when Christ started out on the campaign of tha world's conquest, II | they could have foreseen the siege that | would be laid to Him, and the maltreatment | He would suffer, and the burdens He would have to car and the battles He would have to fight, I think there would have been a miliion volunteers in heaven who would have insisted on coming along with Him, But no ; they only accompanied him to the gate ; their last shout heard clear down to the earth ; the space between the two worlds bridged with a great hosanna, You know there is a wide difference tween a man's going off to battle and coming back again. When he goes off, it is with epaulets untangled, with banner unspecked, with horses sleek and shining from the groom. All that there is of struggle and pain is to come yet. So it was with Christ ie had not yet fought a battle. He was starting and though this world did not give Him a warm hearted g a gentle mother who folded Him in herarms And ababe finds no aifference between a stable and a palace, between cou and camel drivers, As Jesus stepped on the stage of this wo rid ft was amid angelic shouts the galleries and amid the kindest wternal ministra tions, But soon he athe They deploy« hey ware detailed from the Cms in the strest | be- riers out Jesus, lifted His abo n standard, mn with an with two im, Bethlehem against Him against Him, Jerusalem against Him, Galilee against Him, the courts against Him, the army against Him, the throne against Him, the world against Him, al} hell against | Him. No wonder they asked Him to sur render But He could not surrender, He could not apologize, He could not take any back steps, He had come to strike for the deliverance of an enslaved race, and He must do the work Then they sent out their pickets to watch Him. They saw in what house He went and when He came out. They watohed what He ate, and who with ; what He drank, and bow | much. Phey 4d pot dare to make their Baal assault, for they knew not but that be- hind Him there might be a re-enforcement that was not seen. But at Iast the battle came, It was to be more flerce than Bozrab, more bloody than Gettysburg, involving ra than Austeriitz moras corubatants employed than at Chalons a ghastlier confliot than all the battles of the earth put together, tho: sh Edmund Burke's eslimate of thirty-fi fons of the slain be & The day was Friday.

The reg of the Roman army at that time static Jerusalem began the attack, They how to fight, for they belonged to the most thoroughly drilled army of the world, With spears glittering in the sun they charged af the hill, The borses prance and rear amid the excitement of the populace-the heels of the riders plunged inthe fanks, urg ing them on. The weapons begin to how faint He blood starts, and there, und there, and there, He is to have re-enlorcements, let Him them up now, No: He alone, He is dying 1 i the wrist ; the pulse is fesbler, Feel under the arm , ths warmth is jess, He is dying Aye, they pronounce Him dead. And just at that moment that they pronounce Him dead He rallied, and from His wounds He unsheathed a weapon which staggered the Roman legions down the hill and hurled the satanic battalions into the pit, It was a weapon of infinite love, all conquer ing love, Mightier than javelin or spear, it triumphed over all. Put back, ye armies of earth and heli! The tide of battle turns, Jesus hath over. come, Let the peopis stand apart and make a line that He may pass down from Calvary to Jerusalem, and thenes on and out all around the world, The battle is fought, The victory is achieved. The triumphal march is begun. Hark to the hoofs of the warrior's steed and the tramping of a great multitude, for He has many friends now!

The stone it contained was & three-carat dicmond., It was worn a number of years on a slender woman's third finger, Then it changed hands and was enlarged by the insertion of a piece of gold of in- ferior alloy, and may have been worn on the third finger of a stout woman or the little finger of a man.
