A MARTYR'S TRI UM PH
From ths text.
Acta 6S-C0,
"Behold I see the
beareni opened,"
IEliLJehM f .the
toning 01 siepnen
and bli glorious
death.
Stephen' had been
preaching a rousing sermon, and the
people could not stand It. They re
solved to do as men sometimes would
like to do la this da If they dared,
with some plain preacher of righteous
nesskill him. Tb only way to si
lence this man was to knock ths
breath out of him. 80 they rushed
Stephen out of the gates of the city,
and with curse and whoop and bellow
they brought him to the cliff, as was
the custom when they wanted to take
away life by stoning. Having brought
him to the edge of the cliff, they push
ed him off. After ha had fallen they
came and looked down, and, seeing that
be was not yet dead, they began to drop
stones upon him, stone after stone.
Amid this horrible rain of missiles
Stephen clambers up on his knees and
folds his bands, while the blood drips
from his temples to his cheeks, from
his checks to bis garments, from his
garments to the ground, and then,
looking up, he makes two prayers one
tor himself and one for his murderers.
"Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!" That
was for himself. "Lord, lay not this
sin to their charge! "That was for his
assailants. Then, from pain and loss
of blood, he swooned away and fell
asleep.
I want to show you to-day five pic
turesStephen gazing into heaven,
Stephen looking at Christ, Stephen
stoned, Stephen In his dying prayer
and Stephen asleep.
First look at Stephen gazing into
heaven. Before you take a leap you
want to know where you are going to
land. Before you climb a ladder you
want to know to what point that ladder
reaches. And It was right that Ste
phen, within a few moments of heaven,
should be gazing Into It. We would
all do well to be found in the same pos
ture. There is enough in heaven to
keep us gazing. A man of large wealth
may have statuary In the hall, and
paintings In the sitting room, and
works of art In all parts of the house,
but he has the chief pictures in the
ort gallery, and there hour after hour
you walk with catalogue and glass and
over Increasing admiration. Well,
heaven Is the gallery where God has
gathered the chief treasures of his
realm. The whole universe is his pal
ace. In this lower room where we stop
there are many adornments tessella
ted floor of amethyst, and on the wind
ing cloud stairs are stretched out can
vases on which commingle azure and
purple and saffron and gold. But
heaven Is the gallery in which the chief
glories are gathered. There are the
brightest robes. There are the richest
crowns. There are the highest exhil
arations. John says of It, "The kings
of the earth shall bring their honor and
glory into it." And I see the proces
sion forming, and la the line come all
empires, and the stars spring up into
an arch for the hosts to murch under.
The hosts keep step to the sound of
earthquake and the pitch of avalanche
from the mountains, and the flag they
bear la the flame of a consuming world,
and all heaven turns out with harps
and trumpets and myriad voiced ac-
clamatlon of angelic dominion to wel
come them in, and bo the kings of the
earth bring their honor and glory in
to it. Ho you wonder that good people
often stand, like Stephen, looking in
to heaven? We have many friends
, there.
i There is not a man In this house to
day so isolated in life but there Is some
J one in heaven with whom he once
shook hands. As a man gets older the
number of his celestial acquaintances
very rapidly multiplies. We have not
tiad one glimpse of them since the
nlgbt we kissed them good-by, and
they went away, but still we stand gaz
ing at heaven. As when some of our
friends go across the sea we stand on
the dock or on the steam tug and
watch thorn, and after awhile the hulk
of the vessel disappears, and then there
Is only a patch of sail on the sky, and
soon that is gone, and they are all out
of sight, and yet we stand looking in
the same direction, so when our friends
go away from us into the future world
we keep looking down through the
Narrows and gazing and gazing as
though we expected that they would
come out and stand on some cloud and
give us one glimpse of their blissful
and transfigured faces.
While you long to join their compan
ionship, and the years and the days go
with such tedium that they break your
heart, and the viper of pain and sor
row and bereavement keeps gnawing at
your vitals, you stand still, like Ste
phen, gazing into heaven. You won
der if they have changed since you saw
them last. You wonder If they would
recognize your face now, so changed
has it been with trouble. You wonder
If amid the myriad delights they have
they care as much for you as they used
to when they gave you a helping hand
and put their shoulder under your bur
dens. You wonder If they look any
older, and sometimes In the evening
tide, when the house Is all quiet, you
wonder if you should call them by their
first name It they would not answer,
and perhaps somstlmes you do make
the experiment, and when no on but
God and yonrsslf are there you dis-
. tlnctry call their aaaes and listen and
alt taaina Into fcaarsa.
Fim en new and ettertaa looking
apoa Christ My tact aas he saw the
Cm U eA t 3 naad el Dot.
Just bow Christ tooked ta this world.
Just how he looks ta heaven, we can
not say. A writer la the time 01
Christ says, describing the Savlour't
personal appearance, that he had blui
eyes and light complexion and a very
graceful structure, but I suppose It was
all guesswork. The painters of the
different ages bars tried to Imagine the
features of Christ and put them upon
canvas, but we will have to wait until
with our own eyes ws see him and with
our own ears ws can hear him. And
yet there la a way of seeing and hear
ing htm now. I have to tell you tnat
unless you see and hear Christ ou
earth you will never see and hear him
In heaven.
Belshaxxar gathered the Babylonish
nobles to his table. George I enter
tained the lords of England at a ban
quet. Napoleon III, welcomed the czar
of Russia and the sultan of Turkey to
bis feast, and the emperor of Germany
was glad to have our minister, George
Bancroft, sit down with him at his ta
ble, but tell me, ys who know most of
the world's history, what other king
ever asked the abandoned and the for
lorn and the wretched and the outcast
to com and sit beside him?
Oh, wonderful invitation! You can
take It today and stand at the head of
the darkest alley In any city, and say:
"Come! Clothes for your rags, salve
for your sores, a throne for your eter
nal reigning." A Christ that talks like
that and acts Ilk that and pardons
Ilk that do you wonder that Stephen
stood looking at hlmT I hope to spend
eternity doing the same thing. I must
see him; I must look Upon that face
once clouded with my sin, but now ra
diant with my pardon. I want to
touch that hand that knocked off my
shackles. I want to hear that voice
which pronounced my deliverance. Be
hold him, little children, for if you live
to threescore years and ten you will
see none so fair. Behold him, ye aged
ones, for he only can shine through
the dimness of your failing eyesight.
Behold htm, earth. Behold him, heav
en. What a moment when all the na
tions of the saved shall gather around
Christ! All faces that way. All
thrones that way, gazing on Jesus.
I pass on now and look at SK?Ffce,i
stoned. The world has always wuik I
to get rid of good men. Their v.;
life Is an assault upon wickedness, ul:
with Stephen through the gated of the
city. Down with him over the r.;evi
plces. Let every man come up
drop a stone upon his head. But thestt
men did not so much kill Stephen .s
they killed themselves. Every stone
rebounded upon them. While the3
murderers were transfixed by the scorn
of all good men Stephen lives In the
admiration of all Christendom. Ste
phen stoned, but Stephen alive. So all
good men must be pelted. All who
will live godly In Christ' Jesus must
suffer persecution. It is no eulogy of a
man to say that everybody likes him.
Show me any one man who Is doing all
his duty to state or church, and I will
show you men who utterly abhor him.
If all men speak well of you, it la
either because you are a laggard or a
dolt. If a steamer makes rapid prog
ress through the waves, the water will
boll and foam all around It. Brave
soldiers of Jesus Christ will hear the
carbines click. When I see a man with
voice and money and Influence all on
the right side and some caricature him
and some sneer at him and Borne de
nounce him and men who pretend to
be actuated by right motives conspire
to cripple him, to cast him out, to de
stroy him, I say, "Stephen stoned!"
When I see a man In some great mor
al or religious reform battling against
grog-shops, exposing wickedness in
high places, by active means trying to
purify the church and better the
world's estate, and I find that some of
the newspapers anathematize htm and
men even good men oppose him and
denounce him because, though he does
good, he does not do it in their way,
I say, "Stephen stoned!" .The world,
with infinite spite, took after John
Frederick Oberlln and Paul and Ste
phen of the text, but you notice, my
friends, that while they assaulted him
they did not succeed really In killing
him. You may assault a good man, but
you cannot kill him.
On the day of his death Stephen
spoke before a few people in the sanhe-
drln. Now he addresses all Christen
dom. Paul the apostle stood on Mars
hill addressing a handful of philoso
phers who knew not so much about sci
ence as a modern schoolgirl. Today
he talks to all the millions of Christen
dom about the wonders ef justification
and the glories of resurrection. John
Wesley was howled down by the mob
to whom he preached, and they threw
bricks at him, and they denounced
him, and they jostled htm, and they
spat upon htm, and yet to-day, In all
lands, he Is admitted to be the great
father of Methodism. Booth's bullet
vacated the presidential chair, but from
that spot of coagulated blood on the
floor In the box of Ford's theater there
sprang up the new life of a nation.
Stephen stoned, but Stephen alive!
Pass on now and see Stephen in his
dying prayer. His first thought was
not how the stones hurt his head, nor
what would become of 111 body. His
first thought was about his spirit
"Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!" The
murderer standing on the trapdoor, the
black cap being drawn over his head
before the execution, may grimace
about ths future, but you and I have
no shame In confessing som anxiety
about where we are going to come out
You are not all body. Thar Is within
yon a soul. I see It gleam from your
syss and I see It Irradiating your coun
tenance. Sometimes I am abashed be
fore an. ajBdjence. Maje X corns
ander their physical eyesight,' but be
mum I realise the truth that I stand
s may latrtef a?tittt The
probability la thai yew body win at
bast tad a aspuleasr la som of the
cemeteries that surround your town or
city. There Is no doubt but that your
obsequies will be decent and respectful,
and you will be able to pillow your
head under the maple, or the Norway
spruce, or the cypress, or the blossom
ing fir, but this spirit about which Ste
phen prayed what direction will that
take? What guide will escort It?
What gate will open to receive It?
What cloud will be cleft for Its path
way? After It has got beyond the light
t our sun, will there be torches light
ed for It the rest of the way? Will the
soul have to travel through long des
erts before It reaches the good land?
If we should lose our pathway, will
there be a castle at whose gate we may
ask the way to the city? Oh, this mys
terious spirit within us! It has two
wings, but It Is In a cage now. It Is
locked fast to keep It, but let the door
of this cage open the least, and that
soul Is off. Eagle's wing could not
catch It The lightnings are not swift
enough to take up with it When the
soul leaves the body it takes fifty
worlds at a bound. And have I no
anxiety about It? Have you no anxi
ety about it? '
I do not care what you do with my
body when my soul is gone or whether
you believe in cremation or Inhuma
tion. I shall sleep just as well in a
wrapping of sackcloth as In satin lined
with eagle's down. But my soul be
fore this day passes I will find out
where It will land. Thank God for the
Intimation of my text, that when we
questions for me. What though there
were massive bars between here and
the city of light, Jesus could remov
them. What though there were great
Saharaa of darkness, Jesus could re
move them. What though I get weary
on the way, Christ could lift me on his
omnipotent shoulder. What though
there were chasms to cross, his hand
could transport me. Then let Ste
phen's prayer be my dying litany,
"Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
Pass on now, and I will show you
one more picture, and lb at Is Stephen
asleep. With a pathos and simplicity
peculiar to the Scriptures the text says
of Stephen, "He fell asleep." "Oh," you
say, "what a place that was to sleep!
'A hard rock under him, stones falling
down upon him, the blood streaming,
the mob bowling. What a place
it was to sleep!" And yet my
text takes that symbol of slum
ber to describe his departure, so
sweet was It, so contented was it, so
peaceful was it. Stephen bad lived a
very laborious life. His chief work
had been to care for the poor. How
many loaves of bread he distributed,
how many bare feet he had sandaled,
how many cots of Blckness and distress
he blessed with ministries of kindness
and love I do not know, but from the
way he lived and the way he preached
and the way he died I know be was a
laborious Christian. But that is all
over now. He baa pressed the cup to
the last fainting Up. He has taken the
last Insult from his enemies. The last
stone to whose crushing weight he is
susceptible has been hurled. Stephen
is dead! The disciples come. They
take him up. They wash away the
blood from the wounds. They straight
en out the bruised limbs. They brush
back the tangled hair from the brow,
and then they pass around to look up
on the calm countenance of him whs
had lived for the poor and died for the
truth. Stephen asleep!
I have seen the sea driven with the
hurricane until the tangled foam
'caught In the rigging, and wave rising
I above wave seemed aB if about to
storm the heavens, and then I havs
seen the tempest drop and the waves
crouch and everything become smooth
and burnished as though a camping
place for 'the glories of heaven. So 1
have seen a man whose life has been
tossed and driven coming down at last
to an Infinite calm, in which there was
the hush of heaven's lullaby.
I have not the faculty to tell the
weather. I can never tell by the set
ting sun whether there will be a
I drought or not I cannot tell by the
I blowing of the wind whether it will be
fair weather or foul on the morrow,
jbut I can prophesy, and I will prophe
sy, what weather It will be when you,
the Christian, come to die. You may
have It very rough now. It may be
jthls week one annoyance, the next an
other annoyance. It may be this year
one bereavement the next another be
reavement. Before this year has pass
ed you may have to beg for bread or
J ask for a scuttle of coal or a pair of
shoes, but at the last Christ will come
In, and darkness will go out, and,
though there may be no hand to close
your eyes and no breast on which to
rest your dying head and no candle to
light the night the odors of God's
hanging garden will regale your soul,
and at your bedside will halt the char-
lots of the King. No more rents to
pay, no more agony because flour has
gone up, no more struggle with "the
world, the flesh and the devil," but
peace long, deep, everlasting peace.
Stephen asleep!
You have seen enough for one morn
ing. No one can successfully examine
more than five pictures In a day.
Therefore we stop, having seen this
cluster of divine Raphaels Stephen
gssing Into heaven, Stephen looking at
Christ Stephen stoned, Stephen In his
dying prayer, Stephen asleep.
