"From Duii-tM.n to Palace, " uuil his text,
"Tho time of my depart uro is at huiid''
II Timothy iv, .
The way out of this world is so Mocked
up with colllu and hearse, and under
taker's spade and screwdriver, that tho
Christian ean hardly think as he ouht of
the nioi-t cheerful paKsa ;e in all his
tory. We hany Mack instead of white
over the place where the wod man gets
his last victory. We stand weeping over
n heap of chains which tho freed toul has
shaken ofl', and we .say: "l'oor maul
Vhat n pity it was he had to come
to this!" Come to what? I5y the time
the people have assemhled at tho obsequies
that man has been three days no h:ppy
that all the joy of earth accumulated
Would bo wretchedness besiile it, and ho
mfRht better weep over you because you
have to stay, than you weep over him be
cause he has to go. It is a fortunate
thing that a km1 man does not have to
wait to see his own obsequies, they would
le so discordant with his own experience.
If tho Israelites blionld go back to KVpt
and mourn over the brick kilns they once
left, they would not be any mure silly
than that Christian who should forsake
heaven and eotno down and mourn be
cause lie hud to leave this world. Our
ideas of the Christian's death are morbid
and sickly. Wo look upon it as a chirk
hole, in which a man stumbles when his
breath gives out. This whole subject 13
odorous with varnish and disinfectants,
Instead of Lein.n sweet with mignonette.
1'aul, in my text, takes that great clod of
a word, "death," and throws it away,
and speaks of his ."departure" a beauti
ful, bright, surrgestivu word, descriptive
of every Christian's release.
Now, departure implies a starting place
and a place of destination. "When I 'a ul
left this world what was the starting
point? It was a scene of great physical
distress. It was tho Tullianum, the lower
dungeon of the Mameriine prison. The
top dungeon was bad enough, it havincf
no means of ingress or egress but through
an opening in the top. Through that tho
prisoner was lowered, and through that
camo all tho food and air jmd light re
ceived. It was a terrible place, taut
upper dungeon; but tho Tullianum was
the lower dungeon, and that was still
more wretched, the only light and the
only air coming through the roof, and
that roof the lhor of tho upper dungeon.
That was Paul's hist earthly residence.
It was a dungeon just six feet and a half
high. It was a doleful place. It had tho
cliill of long centuries of 'dampness. It
was filthy with the long incarceration of
miserable wretches. It was there that
Paul f pent his last days on earth, and it
is there that I see hi;n today, in the fear
ful dun-eon, shivering, blue with the
cold, waiting for that old overcoat which
he had sent for up to Troas, and which
they had not j et sent down, notwithstand
ing he had written for it.
If some skillful surgeon should go Into
that dungeon where Paul i3 incarcerated,
we might find out what aro tho prospects
cf Paul's living through the rough im
prisonment. Iu the first place, he is an
old man, only two years short of 70. At
that very time when ho most needs the
warmth and the sunlight and the fresh
air, ho is shut out from tho sun. What
aro those sears on his ankles? Why those
were gotteu when ho was fast, his feet in
the stocks. Every time ho turned the
flesh on his ankles started. What are
those scars on his back? You know ho
was whipped five times, each time gettjpig
thirty-nino strokes 193 bruises on (ho
back (count them!) made by the Jews
with rods of elmwood, each one of the 1S3
Strokes bringing the blood. Look at
Paul's face and look at hi3 arms.
Where did he get those bruises?
I think it was when he was struggling
cshoro amidst the shivered timbers
of the shipwreck. I see a gash in Paul'3
side. Where did he get that? I think he
got that in the tussle with highwaymen,
for he had been in peril of robbers and he
had money of his own. llo was a me
chanic as well as au apostle, and I think
the tents he made were as good as his ser
mons. There is a wanness about Paul's looks.
"What makes that? I think a part of that
came from tho fact that ho was for
twenty-four hours on a plank iu tho
Mediterranean sea, suffering terribly, be
fore ho was rescued; for he says posi-tivcl-:
"I was a night and a day in tho
deep." Oh, worn out, emaciated eld
iriau! purely you must be melancholy.
No constitution could endure this and be
cheerful. Hut I press my way through
the prison until I come up close to where
he is, and by the faint light that streams
through the opening I see on his face a
supernatural joy, and I bow before him,
and I eay: "Aged man, how can you
keep cheerful Rmidst all this gloom?" Ilia
voice startles the darkness of the place as
he cries out: "I am now ready to be
offered, and the time of my departure
id at hard." Hark! what is that shuiiling
of feet in tho upper dungeon? Why, Paul
has an invitation to a banquet, and ho is
going to dine today with the king. Those
fihuiiiimj feet are the feet of the execu
tioners. They eome, and they cry down
through the hole of the dungeon: "Hurry
tip, old man. Come now; get yourself
ready." Why, Paul was ready. He had
nothing to pack up. He had no baggage
to take. He had been ready a good while.
I see hira rising up, and straightening out
his stiffened limbs, and pushing back his
white hair from his creviced forehead, and
Beo him looking up through the hole in the
roof of the dungeon into tho face of his
executioner, and hear him say: "I am
tow ready to bo offered, and the time of
my departure is at hand." Then they lift
him out of the dungeon, and they start
with him to the place of execution. They
say: "Hurry along, old man, or you will
feci the weight of our spear. Hurry
alor.g." v -low far is it," says Paul, "we
have to trawl:'" "Three miles." Three
miles is a good way for an old
man to travel after ho ha3 been
whipped and crippled with mal
treatment. But they soon get to the place
cf execution Aequae Salvia and he is
fastened to the pillar of martyrdom. It
does not take any strength to tie him fast.
He makes no resistance. O Paul! why
not strike for yoiw life? You have a great
many friends here. With that withered
hand just launch the Ihimueruoic of the
peoj la upon those infamous soldiers. Nol
Paul was not goin to interfere with his
ws coronation. Ho v.-aa too glad to go. I
eeo him looking up into the face of his ex
ecutioner, and, its the grim olllcihl urawt
tho f word, Paul calmly says: "I am uow
ready to bo offered, and the time of
my departure ia ut hand." Hut I put
my hand over my eyes. I want tot to hte
that last struggle. One sharp, keeu
stroke, and Paul does go to the bunquet,
uud Paul does dine with thf King.
What a transition it was! Prorn the
malaria of Home to tho finest climate in
all tho universe tho zone of eternal
leauty and health. His ashes were put
In the catacombs of Home, but in one
moment the air of heaven bathed from
Ids soul the last ache. From shipwreck,
from dungeon, from the biting pain of tho
elm wood rods, from the hharp sword of
tho headsman, ho goes into tho most bril
liant assemblage of heaven, a king among
kings, multitudes of the sainthood rushing
out and stretching forth hands of wel
come; for I do really think that as on the
right hand of Cod is Chiist, so on the
right hand of Christ is Paul, the eecond
great in heaven.
He changed kings likewise. Before the
hour cf death and up to th lot moment
ho wt"? ujHh-r Nero, tho thick necked, tho
cruel eyed, tlw filthy lipped; the sculptured
features of that r.iuii bringing down
to us to this very day tho horrible
I'-josibilitiM of his nature .seated as he
was amidst pictured marbles of Egj'pt,
under a roof r.dorr.cd w;th mother of
pearl, iu a dining room which by ma
chinery was kcjit whirling day and night
with most bewitching magnificence; his
horses Manding in stalls of .solid gold, and
the grounds around his palace lighted at
right by its victims, who had been daubed
with tar anil pitch and then set fire to il
lumine the l;:rkness. That was Paul's
king. But the next moment he goes into
tbo realm of Him whoso rein is love, and
v.liooe courts are paved with love, and
whoso throne is set on pillars of lve, and
whose scepter is adorned with jewels of
ljve, and whose palace is lighted with
luve, tuid whose lifetime is on eternity of
love. When Paul was leaving so much
on this side the pillar cf martyrdom to
g"dn so much on tho othei- side, do you
wonder at the cheerful valedictory cf the
text, "Tho time of ruy departure is ul
l-.end?"
Nuw, why cannot all the old people of
this congregation have the sumo holy .dee
as that aged mr.n hud? Charles I, w hen
ho was combing his head, found a gray
hair, and he sent it to the. queen as a
great joke; but old age is really no joke
at all. For the last forty years you have
been drr-Mling that which ought to have
buen au exhilaration. You say you most
fear the struggle at the moment the soul
and body part. But millions have en
dured that moment, and why not we as
well? They got through with it, and eo
can we. Besides this, all medical men
a rree in saying that there is probably no
strugglo at all at the last moment not so
i!i'ic': pain us the prick of a i in, the scem
ii g signs of distress being altogether in
voluntary. But you say: "It is the uncer
tainty cf tho future." Now, child of Cod,
do not r'ay the infidel. After God has
filled the I Uble till it can hold no more with
the stories of the good things ahead, bet
ter not talk about uncertainties.
But you say, "I cannot bear to think of
parting from friends here." If you are
old you have more friends in heaven than
here. Just take the census. Take so:n5
large sheet of paper and bevln to record
tho names of those who have eniisruted
to tho other shore; the companions of your
school days, your early butiness associ
ates, the friends of mid life a-d those who
mere recently went away. Can it bo that
they have been gone so Ion; you do not
care any more about them and you do not
want their society? Oh, no! There have
been days when you have felt that you
could not endure it another moment away
from their blessed companiouship. They
have gone. You eay you would not liko
to bring them back to this world cf
trouble, even if you had the power. It
would not do to trust you. God would
not givo you resurrection po-er. Before
to-morrow morning you would be rat
tling at the gates of the cemetery, crying
to the departed: "Come back to tee cradle
where you bleptl Come back to the hall
where you used to play! Come hack to
tho table where you used tosh!" and there
would bo a great burglary in heaven. No,
no! God will not trust you with resur
rection power, but he compromises the
matter and says: "You cannot bring them
whero you are, feut you can go where thc-y
are." Thero are more lovely now than
ever. Were they beautiful here they are
more beautiful thcro.
Beside that, it is more healthy there for
you than here, aged man; better cliranto
there than these hot summers and cold
winters and late springs; better hearing;
better eyo sight; more tonic in tho air;
more perfume in the bloom; more sweet
ness ia tho song. Do you net feel, aged
mMi, sometimes, as though you would
like to get your arm and foot free? Do
you net feel as though you lika to throw
nwr.y spectacles and canes and crutches?
Would you not like tp feel the spring and
elasticity and mirth of an eternal boy
hood? When the point at which you start
from thi3 world is old age, and the point
to which you go is eternal jurenescence,
aged man, clap your hands at the antici
pation, and say, ia perfect rapture of
soul: "The time of my departure is at
hand."
I remark, again, all those ought to feel
this joy of the text who have a holy curi
osity to kixovr what Is beyond this earthly
terminus. And who has not any curiosity
about it? Paul, I suppose, had the most
satisfactory view of heaven, and he says:
"It doth not yet appear what we shall be. "
It is like looking through a broken tele
seppe: "Now we see through a glass
darkly." Can you tell me anything about
that heavenly place? You ask me a
thousand questions about it th?t I cannot
answer. 1 ask you a thousand questions
about it that you cannot answer. And do
you wonder that Faul was so glad whea
martyrdom gave him a chance to go over
and make discoveries in that blessed
country?
I hope some day, by the grace of God, to
go over and see for myself; but not now.
No well man, no prospered man, I think,
waut3 to go now. Hut the time will come,
I think, when I shall go over. I want to
see what they do there, and I want to see
how they do it. I do not want to be look
ing through the gates ajar forever. I
want them to swing open. There are
10,000 things I want explained about you,
about myself, ubout the government
of this world, about God, p.bout
everything. We start in a pLiia
path of what we know, and in a
minute come up against a. hica wall cf
what we do not know. I wonder how It
look over there. Somebody tells me it i3
like a paved city paved with gold; and
another man tells me it is like a fountain,
and it is like a tree, and it is like a tri
umphal procession, and the next man I
meet tells me it is all figurative. I really
want to know, after the body is resur
rected, what they wear and vhat ihey
at; and I have an immeasurable caiiesity
to know what it is, and how it, is, or.d
where it is. Columbus risked Lia life to
find tiiis continent, and shall we shudder
to f o out on a vovngo of discovery which
f-hait reveal a vaster and more dirYerent
com try? John Franklin risked Ids
Me to find a passage between
Jceb'.rgs, and shall wo dread to find a paw
tag.- to eternal summer? Men in tfwit-
y.eri. nd travel up the heights of the Mat
tcrn.irn with alpenstock and guides and
roci ;ts and ropes, and getting half way
up, stumble and fall down in a horrible
iria- .acre. They just want to say they
had been on the tops of those high peaks.
And shall we fear to fr out for the ascent
of tho eternal hills, which start a thou
sand miles beyond where stop the highest
peal iof tho Alps, and when in that as
con there is no peril? A man doomed to
die scepped on the scaffold and said in joy
"No.v, iu ten minutes I will know tho
great secret." One minute after the vital
func Lions ceased tho little child that died
last -light in Montague street knew mora
thav Jonathan Edwards, or St. Paul him
self, lx-foro he died. Friends, tho exit
from this world or death, if you please to
call it, to the Christian is glorious expla
nnlia. It is demonstration. It is ill u-
minvtion. It is sunburst. It is the open
ing C all the windows. It is shutting up
thee itechijm of doubt and the unrolling
of a'd the scrolls of positive and ic
cur&io information. Instead of stand
ing ui the foot of the ladder and looking
up, it is standing at the top of tho
hid:1.' r and looking down. It is the last
nvj -ry taken out of botany, and geology,
and stronomy, and theology. Oh, will it
net 'x grand to have all questions an
swer, d? The perpetually recurring inter
rogu -on point changed for the mark of
exeh. mjitiom All riddles solved. Who
will lear to go out on that discovery, when
all tluj questions are to be decided which
we l ave been discussing all our lives?
'Who shall not clap Lis hands in tho anti
cipation of that blessed country, if it bo
no better than through holy curiosity, cry
Ing: "The time of my departure is a!
hand."
1 remark, again, wo ought to havo tho
joy of the text, because, leaving thi3
work", wo move into the best society of
the universe, lou see a great crowd of
people in some street, and you say
"Who is passing there? What general
what prince is going up there?" Wei), I
E20 a jreat throng in heaven. I Eay: "Who
ia the focus of all that admiration? Who
is the center of that glittering company!
It is Jesus, the champion of all worlds, the
favorl'e of all ages. Do you know what
Is the first question the sou will ak when
it con es through the gate of heaven? I
think the first question w ill be: "Where
is Jecas, the Saviour that pardoned my
sin; that carried my sorrows; that fought
my battles; that won my victories?" O
radiant One! how I would like to see Thee!
Thou of the manger, but without its
humiliation; Thou of the cros3, but with
out itJ pangs; Thou of the grave, but
without its darkness.
The Bible intimates that we will talk
with Jesus in hc-aven just as & brother
talks with a brother. Now, what will
you a5 k lum first? I do not know. I can
think -vhat I would ask Paul first, if I saw
bim in heaven. I think I would like to
Lear mm tiescrino the storm that came
upen the ship when there were 275 souls
on the vessel, Paul being the only man on
board cool enough to describe tho storm.
There is a fascination about a ship and tho
sea thiit I shall never get over, and I think
I wo u'd liko to hear him talk about that
first. But when I meet my Lord Jesus
Chrhst. of what shall I first delight to hear
Him t-eak? Isow I think what it is. I
shall tirst want to hear the tragedy of his
last hours; and then Luke's account of the
cruci'txion, and Mark's account of tho
crucifixion, and John's account of the cru
cifixion will be nothing, whilo from the
livin.fr: Hps of Christ the story shall be told
of the jjloom that fell, and tho devils that
arose, and the fact that upon his
endurrnco depended the rescue of a race;
and tl.ro was darkness in the sky, and
there iras darkness in the soul, and the
pain b:-camo more sharp, and the burdens
becamo more heavy, until the mob began
to swiii away from the dying vision of
Christ, and the cursing of the mob came
to Ida ear more faintly, and his hands
were fastened to the horizontal piece of
the cross, and his feet were fastened to
the pe-pendicular piece of tho cross, and
his hi vd fell forward in a swoon as he
uttero'-. tho last moan and cried: "It is
finished!" All heaven will stop to listen
