TALUACE'S SERMON.
Samuel jji-iii, 10: "And his hand
clave unto the sword."
A great general of Kin? David was
i-ieazar, tue hero of tin- text. The
Philistines opened baitle :t;iiist liini.
ana ins troops retreated The cowards
lied. Eleazar and three of his coinrad
went jiho me battle and swept the
held, for four men with God on their
side are stronger than a whole battalion
with God against them. Full back!"
shouted the commander of the Philis
tine army. The cry raug along the
host: "Kail back!" Kleazar Having
swept the lields throws himself on the
ground to rest, but the muscles and
sinews of his hand had been so Ions
bent around the hilt of the sword that
the hilt was inbedded in the ilesh, and
the gold wire of the hilt had broken
through the skin of the palm of his
hand, and he could not drop this sword
which he had so gallantly wielded.
'His hand clave unto the sword." .This
is what I cillnuguiiicent lighting for
the Lord God of Israel. And we want
more of it. 1 propose to show you
this morning how Kleazar took hold of
the sword and how the sword took
.,--'" hold of Kleaz:ir. I look at Eleazar's
nana, and I come to the conclusion
that lie took the sword with a very
ngnt grip. J he cowards who tied had
no trouble in dropping their swords.
as uiey ny over the rocks 1 hear their
swords clanging in every direction. Jt
is easy enough for them to drop their
swords. J 5nt IKeazars hand clave
unto the sword.
J see hundreds, herhaps thousands of
young men in this audience. J)o not
be ashamed, young man, to have tha
world know that you are a friend of
the bible. This book is the friend of
all that is good, and it is the sworn
enemy of all that is bad An eloipient
writer recently gave an incident of
very bad man who stood in the cell of
western prison. This criminal had
gone through all styles of crime, and
he was there waiting for the gallows.
The convict standing there at the
window of the cell this writer says,
looked out and declared, 'I am an in
fide!.' He said that to all the insn and
women aud children who happened to
be gathered there, 'I am an infidel
and the eloqent writer says, "every man
and woman there believed him." And
the writer goes ou to say, "If he had
stood there saying 'I am the Christain
every man and woman would have
said, 'He is a liar." This bible is the
sworn enemy of all this wrong and it
is the friend of all that is good. Oh,
hold on it. Do not take part of it and
throw the rest away. Hold on to all of
it. There are so many people uow who
do not know. You ask them if the
soul is immortal, and Jhev miv "1 rUU.
is i uou i kuow ; pemapsit is. perhaps
itisut. is the bible true? 'Wellrer-
naps it is ana perhaps it isn't; perhaps
it may be Mguiatively, and erhaps
it may be partly, and perhaps it may
not be at all." They despise what they
call the Apostolic creed; but it' their
o i n creed were written out it wo;tld
read like this: "I believe in nothing
the maker of heaven and earth, and in
nothing which it hath sent, which
nothing was born of nothing, ani which
nothing was dead aud buried and de
scended into nothing and arose from
nothing and ascended into nothing and
now sitteth at the right hand of noth
ing. 1 believe in the holy agnostic
church and in the communion of
nothingarians, and in the resurrection
of nothing and in the life that never
shall be. Amen!-' That is the creed
of tens of thousands of people in this
day. Jf you have a mind to adopt such
a theory 1 will not "I believe in God
the father Almighty, maker of heaven
and earth, and in Jesus Christ and in
the holy catholic church and in the
communion of saints, and in the life
everlasting. Amen." Oh, wheu I see
Eleazer. taking such a stout grip of
God's eternal truth the sword of
righteousness.
As J look at Eleazer's hand I also
notice his spirit of self forgetfulnei
He did not notice that the hilt of the
sword was eating through the palm of
his hand. He did not know it hurt
him." As he went out into the conflict
he was so anxious for the victory he
forgot himself, and that hilt might go
never so deeply into the palm cf his
hand, it could not disturb him. "His
hand clr-ve nnto the sword." O my
brothers m sisters, let us go into Chri s
tain co-SvA with the spirit of self ab
negation. Who cares whether the
world araites us or denounces us?
What do we care for misrepresentation,
or abuse, or persecution in a conflict
like this ? Let us forget ourselves.
That man who is afraid of getting his
hand hurt will never kill a Philistine
Who cares whether you get hurt or
not if yon get the victory? Oh, how
many Christians there are who are all
the time worrying about the way the
worn treats them. They are so tired
they on to abused and they are so
tanpted, when Eleazer did not think
whether be had a hand or an arm, or a
feat An he wanted was victory.

"in l iiiiuu; uou i you see there is

hilc imbedded in the llesh of his risht
nana, Uoes not know it.
As 1 look at Eleazer" hand. I come
to the conclusion that he has done a
great deal of hard hitting. J am not
surprised when 1 see that these four
men EJeazer and his thiee compan
ionsdrove back (he army of Phili
stines, that Eleazer's swor.l clave to
his hand, for every lime he struck an
enemy with one end of the sword, the
other end of the sword wounded him.
When he took hold of one end of t.ie
sworu, me sworu took hold of him. Oh
we have found an enemy who cannot
oecouuered by rose water and soft
speeehei. it must be sharp stroke and
straight thrust. There is intemperance
and there is fraud, and there arc 10 00J
other battalions of iniquity, armed
Philistine iniquity. How are they to
te capturea and overthrown? Soft Her

we wanted a baptism of cologne and

actually need a baptism cf lire from
the Lord God of Pentecost. Hut we
are so afraid somebody will criticise
our sermons, or criticise our prayers
or criticise our religious work that our
anxiety for the world s redemption is
lost in the fear we will get our hand
iinrt, while Eleazer went into the con
flict, "and lijs hand clave unto the
sword."
Hull see in 1 he next place what a
hard thing it was for Eleazer to get
his hand and his sword parteJ. The
muscles and the sinews had been so
long grasped around the sword he
could not drop it when he proposed to

after a while they were successful, and
then they noticed that the curve in the
palm of the hand corresponded exactly
with the curve of the hilt. "Hi3 hand

day wheu the horse reared under him
in the suburbs of Damascus, as the
supernatural light fell, down to this day
whtn be is m years of age and old and
decrepit from the prison cell of tlie
Mamertine, he has been outrageously
treated, and he is waiting to die. How
uoes tie spend his last hours ? Telling
me wona now uaaiy he feels, and de
scribing the rheumatism that he got in
prison, the rheumatism afflicting his
limbs, or the neuralgia piercing his
temples, or the thirst that fevers his
tongue? Ch, no. His last words are the
battle shout of Christendom: "I am now
ready to be offered, and the time of mv
departure is at hand; 1 have fought the

scars. Here is a soldier who pulls up
..a Dieric, aim saya.- --mere, i was
wounded in that arm," and shows the
scar. Aud another soldier pulls down
ins collar, and says, "There, 1 was
wounded in the neck." And another
soldier says, "I have had no use of that
