“ye talented painters us the idea of Christ's face, Bae REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN- DAY SERMON, Subject: *“Falrest of the Fair.” . / Text: “He is allogether lovely, "—Bolo- mon's Bong v., 18. ¥ The human race has during centuries been jproving For awhile it deflected and de- erated, and from all I can read for ages eo whole tendency was toward barbarism, but under the ever widening and deepening Influence of Christianity the tendency is now in the upward direction. The physical ap- pearance of the human race is seventy-five ; cent, more attractive than in the six. th, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, From the plotures on eanvas and the fuoes and forms in seulpture of those who were consid- ered the grand looking men and the attrac- | tive women of 200 years ago I conclude the | superiority of the men and women of our | time. Buch looking people of the past ocen- turies as painting snd sculpture bave pre- sented as fine specimens of beauty and dig- nity would be in our time considered deform- | ity and repulsiveness complete. The fact that many men and women in antediluvian times wore aight and ton feet high tended to make the human race obnoxious mther than winning. Such portable mountains of hu- man flesh did not add to the charms of the world. But in no climate anf] in no age AM there aver appear any one who in physionl at- { who | fuce, from the hair line of the forehead to the tractiveness could be compared to Him whom my text celebrates thousands of years beiore He put His infantile foot on the hill | back of Bethlehem, He was and is altogether lovely. The physical appearance of Christ | Is, for the most part, an artistic guess, Bome | writers declare Him to have been a brunette or dark complexioned, Bt. John, of Damas- eus, writing 1100 years ago, and so much | hearer than ourselves to the time of Christ, and henos with more likelihood of accurate tradition, represents Him with beard black, | and curly eyebrows joined together, and | “yellow complexion, and long fingers like | His mother.” An author, writing 1600 years | Ago, represents Christ as a blond : “His hair is the color of wine and golden at the root, straight and without luster, but from the | level of the ears, curling and glossy, and divided down the center after the fashion of | the Nazarenes. His forehead is even and | smooth, His face without blemish and en- | hanced by a tempered bloom, His counten- | ance ingenuous and kind. Nose and mouth re in no way faulty, His beard is full, of | the same coloras His hair and forked in Jorn} His syes blue and extremely brill- | nt." My opinion is, it was a Jewish face, His | mother was a Jowesa, and there Is no wo- manhood on earth more beautiful than Jew- | Ish womanhood. Alas that He lived so long before the daguerrean and photographie arts were born, or we might have known His exact features, I know that sculpture and | painting were born long before Christ, and they might have transferred from olden times to our times the forehead, the nostril, the eye, the lips of our Lord, | Phidias, the sculptor, put down his chisel | of enchantment 500 years before Christ came, | Why did not some one take up that ohisel and give us the side face or full face of our | Lord? Polygnotis, the painter, put down his pencil 400 years before Christ. Why did not some one take it up and give us at least | the eye of our Lord-—the eye, that sovereign ofthe face? Dionysius, the literary artist who saw at Heliopolis, Egypt, the strange | darkening of the heavens at the time of | Christ's erucinxion near Jerusalem, and not | knowing what it was, but deseriblag itas a | peculiar exlipsa of the sun, and saying, | ‘Either the Diesty suffers or sympathises with some sufferer,” that Dionysius might | ve put his pen to the work and drawn the rait of our Lord. But, no; the fine arts | were busy perpetuating the form and ap- | oe of the world's favorites only, and | not the form and appearance of the peasantry, among whom Chirst a It was not until the senth century, or more than 1400 yours after Christ, that attempted by to before that time were so offensive the council at Constantinopls forbade thelr ex- hibition.

Raph- | asl's face of Christ is a weak face. Albert | Durer's face of COlrist was a savage face, Titan's face of Christ is an expressionless face. The mightiest artists, either with pen- | ell or chisel, have made signal fallure in at- | tempting to give the forehead, the cheek, the eyes, the nostril, the mouth of our blessed rd. Bat about His face I can tell you something | psitive and beyond controversy. I am sure was a soulful face. The face is only the curtain of the soul. It was impossible that 8 disposition like Christ's should not have demonstrated itsel! in His physiognomy, Kindness as an occasional impulse may give no fllamination to the features, but kindness as the lifelong, dominant habit will produce attractiveness of counteanncs as certainly as | the snining of the sun produces Howers, Children are afraid of a scowling or hard- | yvisaged man, They ory out if he proposesto takethem. If he try to caress them, he evokes a slap rather than a kiss. All mothers know how hard it is to get thelr children to go to a man or woman of forbidding appear- ance, Bat no sooner did Christ appear in the domestic group than there was an in- fantile excitement and the youngsters began to struggle to get out of their mothers’ arms, They could not hold the children back. %8tand back with those children!” scolded | pome of the disciples. Perhaps the little ones may have been playing in the dirt, and their faces may not have been clean, or they may | fot have been woll clad, or the disciples may | vo thought Christ's religion was a religion | phiefly for big folks, Bat Christ made the infantile excitement still livelier by His say- ing that He liked children better than grown ple, declaring, "Except ye becomes as a ttie child yo cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” | { Alas for those people who do not like ahil- dren! They Bad beter stay out of heaven, for the place is full of them. That, I think, | #s one reason why the vast majority of the | human race die in infancy. Christ fs so | fond of children that He takes them to Him- sif before the world has time to despoll and den them, and so theyare now at the | windows of the palacs and on the doorsteps and playing on the green, Sometimes Matthew or Mark or Luke tells a story of Christ, and only one tells it, but Matthew, Mark and Luke all join in that picture of Ohirist girdled by children, and I know by what occurred at that time that Christ had » {ace full of ganiality, Not only was Christ altogether lovely in His countenance, but lovely in His habits, I know, without being told, that the Lord who made the rivers and lakes and ocoeans wns cleanly in His appearance, He disliked the disease of lepromy not only because it was distressing, but because it was not clean, and His curative words were : “I will, Be thou im eclaed gies d in favor of oroughly washing to super ficial washing when He denounced the hypo- erites for making clean only *‘the outside of : His disciples R7 saying, “Now are yo clean,” and giving i fons to those who fasted, among other fhings, Ho says, “Wash thy face.” and to a f man whom He was doot “Go 1 of 8lloam."” and He actually w His disciples foot, I su not y to demonstrate His own humility, but pechabiy their fest noodad to be washed, fact is, the Lord was a friend of I know that frown the shat most wash In the | wept,” ! fully and prayed with us and did all | could to console, | popular Christ, | loy Vicars, the famous soldier and Christian | of the Crimean war, died because when he | | from the tent of supplies, | 100 Iate, age had thinned or fnjured His locks, which wero never worn shaggy or unkempt. Yea, all His habits of personal appearance were lovely. Sobriety was also an established habit of His life, In addition to the water, He drank the ju joe of the grape. When at a wadding pesty this beverage gave out, He made gal- ons on gallons of grape juice, but it was as unlike what the world makes in our time as health is different from disease and as calm pulses are different from the paroxysms of delirium tremens, There was no strychnine in that baverage or logwood or nux vomioa, The tipplers and the sots who now quote the winemaking in Cana of Galileo ns an ex- cuse for the flery and damning beverages of the nineteenth century forget that the wine at the New Testament wedding had two ocharaoteristios—the one that the Lord made it and tho other that it was made out of water, Bay all you ean of that kind and drink it at least threo times a day and send a barrel of it round to my cellar, You eannot make me believe that the blessed Christ who went up and down heal ing the siok would create for man that style of drink which is the cause of disease more than all other causes sombined, or that He ealmed the maniacs into their right mind would ereate that style of drink which does more than anything else to fill insane asylums, or that He who was so helpful to the poor would make a style of drink that arowds the earth with pauperism, or that He who came to save the nations from sin would orsate a liqaor that 1s the source of most of the erime that now stuffs the penitemtiarios, A lovely sobriety was written all over His bottom of the bearded chin, Domestioity was also His habit, Though too poor to have a home of His own, He or three miles’ walk from Jerusalem, and equal to six or seven orainary miles, every morning and night going to and fro. 1 would rather walk from hers to Central Park, or London olear around Hyde Park, than to walk that road that Christ walked twice a But He liked the quietude of homs life, and He was lovely in His domesticity, How Hs enjoyed handing over the resur- rooted girl to her father, and reconstructing homesteads which disease or death was | As the song, “Home, Sweet | Home," was written by a man who at that | { time had no home, so I think the homeless- | ness of Christ added to His appreciation of | domesticity. | Furthermore, He was lovely in His sym- | pathies, Now, dropsy is a most distressful | complaint, It inflames and swells and tor- | tures any limb or physical organ it touches, | | As soon as a case of that kind is submitted | | pal accommodated himself to saliors’ vernao- to Christ, He, without any use of diaphor- And what an eye | doctor He was for opening the long closed gates of sight to the blue of the sky, and the yellow of the flower and the emerald of the grass!

He had been so often and so kindly entertained in that home before sickness and death dev astated it that He choked up and sobbed aloud, and the tears trickled down the sad face of the sympathetic Christ. “Jesus | Why do you not try that mode of | helping.

The longest ser. mon He ever preached, so far as the Bible reports Him--namely, the sermon on the mount was about sixtesn minutes in delivery —at the ordinary rate of speach, His long est prayer reported, comironly ealled “The Lord's Prayer,” was about half a minute, Time them by your watch, and you will find my estimate accurate, by which I do not mean to say that sermons ought to be only sixteen minutes long and prayers only hall a minute long. Christ had such infinite power of compression that He could put enough into His sixteen minute sermon and His half minute prayer to keep all the fol. lowing ages busy in thought a) action, No ons but a Christ coud afford to pray or preach as short as that, but He meant to teach us compression, At Belma, Ala., the other day I was shown a cotton press by which cotton was put In such shape that it occupled In transports tion only one ear where three ears were fore merly neosssary, and one ship were threes ships had been required, and I imagine that wo all noad to compress our sermons and our prayers into smaller spaces, And His sermons were so jovely for sentl. ment and practicality and suifiiciy and il. lustration. The light of a candies, the erystal of a hen for her chick ens, the hypoarite’s dolorous physiognomy, the moth in the clothes closet, the black wing of a raven, the snowbank of white lille, our extromes botheration about the splinter of imperfection in some one elss's character, the swine fed on the pearls, wolves dramatizing sheep, and the perora- tion made up of a cyclons in which you hear the erash of a rambling house unwisely con. structed, No technicalities, no spliting of hairs between north and northwest side, no but a great Christly throb of helpfulness, I do not wonder at the record whioh says, “When He was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followad Him." They had but one fault to find with His sermon, It was too short. God help all of us in Christian work to get down off our atilts and realize there Is only one thing we have to do--there is the great wound of the world's sin and sorrow there is the great healing plaster pel.
