THE ASSASSINATION.
6ACRAMENTAL DAY SERVICES IN
THE BROOKLYN TABERNACLE.
Ilev. 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."
