Dr. Talniaie GItcs a Graphic Io orlptlon of tlio Scourging; and Cruel fixlun of Our Saviour The Terrible Cl on u of Thorn. Brooklyn, Juno 0. The congregation nt the Tabernacle sang this morning: I'd sing the precious blood lie spilt, My ruimom from the dreudful guilt. This is Sacramental day, and n large number of itcrsons joinel tho church, i making tho communicant membership 4,104. But this is only a part of tho great j attendance that Sunday mornings and evenings overflow tho imuienno audience room. Tho Ilev. T. Do Witt Talmage, D. D., took for hia text tho passage: "Whosoever doth not bear his cross, and corno after me, cannot bo my disciple." Luke xiv, 27. He preached tho fol lowing sermon : The cross was a gibbet on which crim inals were put to death. It was some times made in tho shape of the letter T, sometimes in the shaio of tho letter X, sometimes in the shaie of tho letter I a simple upright; sometimes two cross pieces againbt the j appendicular bar, so that upon tho lower cross piece tho crim inal partially sat. But whatever tho style of the cross, it was always disgrace ful and always agonizing. - When Darius conquered Babylon he put 200 captives to death on the cross. When Alexander conquered Tj-re he put 2,000 captives to death on tho cross. Ko it was just an ordinary mode, of punish ment. But in all the forest of crosses on tho hills and in tho valleys of the earth there is one cross that attracts more at tention than any other. It i.j not higher than the others; it is not made out of different wood; there is nothing jeculiar in tho notch at wliich the two pieces arc joined; and. as to the scene, they wit nessed crucifixions every few weeks, so that I fee a reckless mail walking alxut the hiil and kicking carelessly aside a hkull, and wondering who the villain was that had so llat and misshapen a head; and here is another skull, and there on the hillside is imcther skull. Indeed, the Bible says it was "a place of skulls." But about the victim on one of tlieso crosses all ages are crying: "Who is he? Was he a man? Was he a God? Was he man and God?" Through the darkness of that gloomy day, I come close up enough to that cross to see what it is. It is Jesus. I low did he como there? Had he come up on the top of the hill to look off upon the beautiful landscape, or upon a brilliant 6unset? No. Ho came there ill and ex hausted. People sometimes wonder why Christ expired eo quickly on the cross, in 6ix or seven hours, while other victims have leen on the cross for foity-eighl hours before life was extinct. I will tell you the reason. He was exhausted when he came there. He had been scourged. We are horrified at the cruelties of tho whipping lost, but those cruelties were mercy as compared with the scourging of Jesus Christ. I saw at Antwerp a picture made by Rubens Rubens' picture of the scourg ing of Jesus Christ. It wa3 the mof t overmastering picture I ever looked at or ever expect to see. As the long frocked official opened the door that hid the picture, there he was Christ with . back bent and bared. The flagellator stood with the upper teeth clinched over, the lower lip, as though to give violence to the blows. There were tho swollen shoulders of Christ. There were the black and blue ridges, denied even the relief of bleeding. There was the flesh adhering to the whips as they were lifted. There were the marks where the knots in the whips gouged out the flesh. There stood the persecutor with his foot on the calf of the leg of the Saviour, bal ancing himself. O! the furious and hellish look on those faces, grinning ven geance against the Son of God. The picture seized me it overwhelmed me; it seemed as if it would kill me. I do not think I could have looked at it five minutes and have lived. " But that, my friends, was before Christ liad started for Calvary. That was only the whipping. Are you ready for your journey to the cross? Tho carpenters have 6plit the timbers into two pieces. They are heavy and they are long pieces, for one of them must be fastened deep down in the earth lest the struggling of the victim upet the structure. They put this thnlier upon the shoulder of Christ very gradu ally; first, to see whether he can stand it, and after they find he can stand it, they put the whole weight upon him. Forward now, to Calvary. The hooting and the yelling mob follow on. Under the weight of the cross, Christ being weary and sick, he stumbles and falls, and they jerk at ins robe indignant that he should havo stumbled and fallen, and they cry: "Get up, get up 1" Christ, putting one hand on the ground and the other on the cross, rises, looking into the face of Mary, 1 lis mother, for sympathy, but they tell her to stand back, it is no plack for a woman "Stand back and stop this crying." Christ moves on with his burden ujon his shoulders, and there is a boy that passes along with him, a boy holding a mallet and a few nails. I wonder what they are for. Clirist moves on until the burden is so great he staggers and falls flat into the dust and faints dead away, and a ruffian puts his foot on him and shakes him as ho would a dead dog.whilo another ruffian looks down at him won dering whether he has fainted away, or whether he is only pretending to faint away, and with jeer and contempt inde scribable says: "Fainted, havo you? fainted! get up, get on!" Now thev have arrived at the foot of the hill. Off with hU clothes. Shall that loathsome mob look upon tho un robed body of Christ? Yes. Tho com manding officers say: "Unfasten the girdle, take off the coat, 6trip him." The work is done. But bring back the coat, for here are the gamblers tossing up coin on the ground, saying; "Who shall Iiave the coat?" One ruffian says: I have it, I have it it is mine!" He rolls it up and puta it under his arm. or he examines it to see what fabric it is made of. Then they put the cross upon .n-rvund. and thev stretch Christ upon it nnH fr.:ir or five men holJ him down ! while they drive the spikes borne, at : every thump a groan a granJ AfaaJ I alaal the hour iassc-s on and tho time conies when they mast crucify him. Chriot has only one garment left now, a cap, a cap of thorns. No danger that it will fall off, for tho sharp edges have punctured the temples and it is sure and fast. One ruffian takes hold of one end of the short beam of tho cross, and another ruffian takes a hold of the other end of the short beam of the cross, and another ruffian puts his arms around tho waist of Christ, and another ruffian takes hold of the end of the long beam of tbe cross, and altogether they move on until they como to the hole digged in the earth, and with awful plungo it jars down with its burden of woe. It Is not the picture of a Christ, it is not the6tatuo of Christ, as you sometimes see in a cathe dral ; but it is the body of a bleeding, living, dying Christ. They sometimes say he had five wounds, but they have counted wrong. Two wounds for tho hands, two wounds for tho feet, ono wound for tho side, they say, five wounds. No, they have missed the worst and they have missed the most. Did you ever see tho bramble out of which tbat crown of thorns was made? I saw one on a Brooklyn ferry loat, in the hands of a gentleman who had just returned from Palestine, a bramblo just like that out of which the crown of thorns was made. Oh! how cruel and how stubborn were the thorns. And when that cap of thorns was put upon Christ, and it was pressed down upon him, riot five wounds, but ten, twenty, thirty I cannot count them. There were three or four absences that made the scene worse. First, there was the absence of water. The climate was hot, the fever, the inflammation, the nervous prostration, the gangrene had seized ujxm him, and he terribly wanted water. His wounds were worse than gunshot fractures, and yet no water. A Turk in tho Thirteenth century was cru cified on tho banks of a river so that the sight of the water might tantalize him. And oh! how tho thirst of Christ must have tantalized as he thought of the Eu phrates and the Jordan and tho Amazon and all tho fountainsof earth and heaven poured out f his own hand. They of fered him an intoxicating draught made out of wine and myrrh, but ho declined it. He wanted to die sober. No water. Then, my friends, thero was tho ab sence of light. Darkness always exas perates trouble. I never shall forget the night in the summer of 1873, in the steamer Greece, mid-Atlantic, every moment expecting the 6teamer to go down. All the lights in tho cabin were blown out. The captain came crawling in on hands and knees, for ho could not stand upright, so violently was the ves sel pitching, and ho cried out: "Light up, light up!" The steward said : "We can't light up; tho candles are gone and the holders are gone. " The captain said : "I can't help that; light up." The storm was awful when the lights were burning, worse when tlio lights went out. Then there was the absence of faithful nurses. When you are ill, it is pleasant to have the head bathed and the hands and feet rubbed. Look at tho hands and feet of Christ, look at the face of Christ. There were women there who had cared for the sick, but none of them miglrt come up near enough to help. There was Christ's mother, but she might not come up near enough to help. They said: ' Stand back, stand back; this is no place for you." The high priests and the soldiers wanted it their own way; they had it their own way. The hours pass on and it is 12 o'clock of the Saviour's suffering, and it is 1 o'clock, and it is 2 o'clock, and it is al most 3 o'clock. Take the last look at that suffering face, wan and pinched, the -purplo lips drawn back against the teeth, the eyes red with weeping and sunken as though grief had pushed them back, blackness under the lower lid, the whole hotly adroop and shivering with the last chill, the breath growing feebler and feebler and feebler and feebler until he gives one long, deep, last 6igh. He is dead ! O! my soul, he i3dead. Can you tell why? Was he a fanatic dying for a prin ciple that did not amount to anything? Was he a man infatuated? No; to save your soul from sin, and mine, and make eternal life possible, he died. There had to be a substitute for sin. Who shall it be? "Let it be me," said Christ; "let it heme." You understand the meaning of that word substitution. You were drafted for the last war; some ono took your place, marched your march, suf fered your wounds and died at Gettj s burg. Clirist comes to us while we a re fighting our battle with sin and death and hell, and he is our subststute. He marches our march, fights our tattle, suffers our wounds, and dies our death. Substitution! Substitution! How do you feel in regard to that scene described in the text, and in the region round about tho text? Are your sympa thies aroused? or are you so dead in sin, and 60 abandoned by reason of your transgressions that you can look upon all that tearless and unmoved? No, no; tl?re are thousands of people hero this morning who can say in the depths of their soul: "No, no, no; if Jesus en dured that, and all that for me, I ought to love liim. I must love him, I will love him, I do love him. Here, Lord, I givo myself to thee; 'tis all that I can do." But how are you going to test your love, and test your earnestness? ' My text gives a test. It says that while Christ carried a cross for you, you must be will ing to cany a cross for Christ. "Well," you say, "I never could understand that. There are no crosses to be carried in this land; those persecutions have passed, and in all the land there is no one to be crucified, and yet in the pulpit and in the prayer meetings you all keep talk ing about carrying a cross. What do you mean, sir?" I mean this: Thai is a cross which Christ calls you to do, which io unpleasant and hard. "Oh," you say, "after hearing the story of this Christ and all that he ha3 endured for mo, I am ready to do anything for him. Just tell me what I have to do and I'll do it. 1 am ready to carry any cross." Suppose I should ask you at the close of a religious service to rise up announc ing yourself on the Lord's side could you do it? "Oh! no, "you say, "I have a shrinking and a sensitive nature, and it would be impossible for me to riso before a large assemblage, announcing myself on the Lord's side." Jut as I feared. You cannot stand tliat cross. The first ona that is offered you, you re ject. Christ carried a mountain, Christ carried n Himalaya, Christ carried a world for you, and you cannot lift an ounce for him. But here is a man whose cross wiTl Ixj to announce among hia business asso ciates to-morrow morning on"" exchange, that ho has begun a new life, that while he wants to lj faitlu'ul in his worldly duties, he is living for another world, and he ought to advise all those who are his associates, so far as he can influence them, to begin with him tho Christian life. Could you do that, fny brother? "Oh ! no," you say, "not just that. I think religion is religion, and business is business, and it would le impossible for me to recommend the Christian religion in places of worldly business." Just a I feared. There is a second cross offered you, and you cannot carry it. Christ lifted a mountain for you ; you cannot lift an ounce for him. There is some one whose cross will le to present religion in the homo circle. Would you dare to kneel down and pray if 3'our brother and sister were looking at you? Could you ask a blessing at the tea table? Could you take the Bible and gather your family around you, and read of Christ and heaven and your immortal soul? Could you then kneel and pray for a blessing on your household? "O!" you say, "not exactly that. I couldn't quite do that, because 1 have a very quick temper, and if I professed religion and tried to talk religion in my house hold, and then after that I should lsemy temper they would scoff at me and say: 'You are a pretty Christian!' " So you are cowed down and their sarcasm keeps you out of heaven and away from Christ, when under God you ought to take your whole family into the kingdom. Christ lifted a mountain, lifted a world for you; you cannot lift an ounce for him. I see how it is; you want to be favorable to religion, you want to support Christian institutions, you liko to bo associated with those who love Jesus Christ; but as to taking a positive step on thi3 subject, you cannot you cannot, and my text, like a gate of a hundred bolts, bars you away from jieace on earth and glory in heaven. There are hundreds of men and women here, brave enough in other things in life, who simply, for the lack of manli ness and womanliness, stay away from God. They dare not say: ''Forever and forever, Lord Jesus, I take thee. Thou hast redeemed me by thy blood; here is my immortal spirit. Listen, all my friends. Listen, all the world." They are lurking around about tho kingdom of God they are lurking around about it, expecting to crawl in some time when nobody is looking, forgetful of the tre mendous words of my text: "Whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come sifter me, cannot betny disciplo. " An officer of a neighboring church told me that he was in a store in New York just hapjened in where there were many clerks, and a gentleman came in and said to a young man standing behind the counter: "Are you the young man that arose the other night in the Brook lyn tabernacle and asked for prayers?" Without any flush of cheek he replied: "I am. I haven't always done right, and I have been quite bad, but since I arose for prayers I think I am better thau I was." It was only his way of announcing that he had started for the higher life. God will net cast out a man who is brave enough to take a step ahead like that. I tell you these things this morning be cause, my dear friends, I want to show you how light the cross is that we have to carry compared with that which Christ carried for us. You have not had the flesh torn off for Christ's sake in carrying your cross. He fainted dead awj.y under his cross. "You have not carried the cross until it fetched the blood. der his there was a pool of carnage that plashed the horses' fetlocks. You have friends to sympathize, with you in carrying the cross. Christ trod tho wine press of God's wrath alone, alone! The cross that you and I ought to carry represents only a few days or a few years of trial. The cross that Christ carried for us had compressed into it the agonies of eternity. There has some one come here today whom you have not observed. He did not come through the front door; he did not come down any of these aisles; yet I know he is here. He is from the east, the far east. He comes with blistered foot and with broken heart and cheeks red not with health, but with blood from tho temples. I take hold of liis coat and I say: "It does not seem to fit thee." "No, "he says; "it is not mine; it is bor rowed ; it does not belong to me now. For my vesture did they cast lots. " And I say to hini: "Thine eyes are red as though from loss of sleep." He says: "Yes, the Son of man had not where to lay his head." And I touch the log on his back and I say: "Why earliest thou this?" "Ah!" he says, "that is a cross I carry for thee and for the sins of tlio whole world. That is a cross. Fall into line, march on with me in this proces sion, take your smaller crosses and your fighter burdens and join me in this march to heaven." And we join that procession with our smaller crosses and our lighter burdens, and Christ looks back and he sees some are halting because they cannot endure the shame, or bear tho burden, and with a voice which has in it majesty and omnipo tence, he cries until all the earth trem bles: "Whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple." Oh! my brethren, my sisters for I do not speak professionally, I 6peak as a brother would 6peak to a brother or sister my brother, can you not bear a cross if at last you can wear a crown? Come now, let us divide off. Who is on the Lord's side? Who is ready to turn his back upon the Lamb of God that taketh away tho 6in of the world? A Roman emperor said to a Greek j architect: "You build me a coliseum, a j grand coliseum, and if it suits me I will crown you in the presence of all the people, and I will make a great day of i festival on your account." The Greek architect did his work, did it magnifi cently, planned the building, looked after its construction. The building was done. The day for opening arrived. In the ; coliseum were the emperor and tli3 Greek architect. The emperor rose amid the plaudits of a vast assembly and said: "We have gathered here today to open this coliseum, and to honor the Greek architect. It is a great day for the Ro man empire. Let this building be proa- parous, and let honor be put upon the Greek architect. O! we must have a festival today Bring out those Christians and let us have them put to death at tlie mouth of the lions." The Christiana were put into the center of the amphi theatre. It was to Ik a great celebration in their destruction. Then the lions, hungry and three-fourtlis starved, were let out from theii dens in the side of the amphitheatre, and they cumo forth with mighty spring to destroy and rend tlie Christians, and all the galleries shouted, "Huzza, huzza! IiOtig live the emieror!" Then the Greek architect aro-e in one of tlie galleries and shouted until in tho vast assemblage all heard him: "1 loo am a Christian!" and they seized him in their fury and flung him to the wild Ix-asts until his IkxIv, bleeding and dead, was tumbled over and over again in the dust of the amphitheatre. Could you have done that for Christ? Could you, in a va.it assemblage, all of whom hated Christ, have said: "I am a Christian," or, "I want to bo a Chris tian?" Would you have had tlie 10,000th part of the enthusiasm anil the courage of the Greek architect? Nay, I ask you another question: would you in an assemblage where they are nearly all Christians in an assemblage a vast mul titude of whom love Christ and are will ing to live, and if need lo to die for him would you dare say: "I am a Chris tian," or, "1 want to be a Christian?" Would you say in tho presence of tho friends of Christ, as much as the Greek architect said in the presence of the ene mies of Christ? O! are there not multi tude? here this morning who are ready to say: "Let the world look on; let all tho galleries of earth and heaven and hell look on, 1 take Christ this day. Como applause or abuse, come sickness or health, come life or death, Christ now, Christ forever." Are you for Christ, are you against him? Tho destinies of eternity tremble in tho balance. It seems as if the Inst day had come and we were gathered for the reckoning. "Behold, he comet h with clouds, and every eye shall see him. " What I say to ono I say to all. What aro you doing for Christ? What aro you bearing for Christ? Oh! Christian man. Oh! Christian woman! Have you any scars to show in this conflict? When a war is over the heroes have scars to show. One hero rolls back his sleeve and shows a gunshot fracture, or he pulls down the collar and shows where he was wounded in the neck. Another man says: "I have never had tho use of my limb since I wa3 wounded at that great battle." When tho last day comes, when all our battles are over, will wo have any wounds for Christ? Some have wounds for sin, wounds for the devil, wounds gotten in fighting on the wrong side. Have wo wounds that we can show wouud3 gotten in the battle for Christ and for the truth? On that resur rection day Christ will have plenty of scars to 6how. Christ will stand there and show tho scars on his brow, the scars on his hands, and tho scars on his feet, and he will put aside the robe of his roy alty and show the scar on his side, and all heaven will break down with emotion and gratitude in one great sob, and then in one great hosanna. Will you and I have any scars to show? There will be Ignatius, on that day showing tho mark of the paw and teeth of tho lion that struck him down in tho Coliseum. There will be glorious John Huss showing just where on his foot the flames began on that day when his soul took wing of flame and soared up froiv. Constance. There will be Hugh McKail ready to point to tho mark on his neck where the ax struck him. There will be McMillan and Campbell and Freeman, the American missionaries who with their wives and children were put to death in the awful massacre at Cawnpore, showing the places where the daggers of the Sepoys struck them. There will be the Waldenses showing where their limbs were broken on the day when the Pied montese soldiery pitched them over the rocks. Will you and I have any wounds to show? Have we fought any battles for Christ? Oh ! that we might all bo enlisted for Christ, that we might all be willing to suffer for Christ, that we might all bear a cross for Christ. When the Scottish chieftains wanted to raise an army they would make a wooden cross and then set it on fire and carry it with other crosses they had through the mountains and among the people, and as they waved the cross the people would gather to the standard and fight for Scotland. So today I como out with the cross of the Son of God. It is a flaming cross flaming with suffer ing, flaming with triumph. Gaming with glory. I carry it out among all the peo ple. Who will be on the Lord's side? Who will gather to the standard of Emanuel? A cross, a cross, a cross 1 "Whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." A FEW STRAY ITEMS. A new steamer, the Empress, on the Dover-Calais route, is expected to cross the channel in fifty minutes. A man in Connecticut, who built a fancy bam, stole eight tombstones from a graveyard to build his mangers. A nugget of ruby ore, weighing 1,000 pounds, and estimated to be worth $10, 000, was taken from a mine near Elko, Cal., a few days ago. The Chinese government has decided to erect monuments to Gen. Gordon on the scenes of hi3 victories over the Taip ing rebels. In the state of Maine there are 84,000 pounds of ground wood fiber and 183,000 pounds of chemical wood fiber made daily. A prominent land owner of Elko, Nev., is seeding hi3 ranch to tea. Indian wo men and children will be employed in gathering the leaves. Tlie cathedral at Ulm, which is large enough to take in 28,000 persons, will be completed in 1SS0. It was begun in 1377 as a Roman church, but lias been Protes tant since the reformation. A Sivls Engineer! Scheme. A Swiss engineer named Rirter wants the city of Paris to adopt his plan fcr ob taining an inexhaustible supply of water from the lakt ;e of Neuichatel. bwitzeruuia. 812 miles away.
