CHRIST THE CONQUEROR.
Talmage Tells ol the Savior’s De
parture From Heaven.
Accompanied to the Gates by a Host
of Angzls-Gathering of the Hostile
Forces on the Earth to Give Battle
to the Divine Warricr Against Bin.
The Victory on the Cross.
Brooklyn, X. Y., March 4.-From the
startling figure of the text chosen by Rev.
Dr Talmage in his sermon in the Brooklyn
tabernacle to-day. the preacher brought
out the radical truths of the Christian
religion. It was sacramental day in the
tabernacle. The subject of tbo sermon
was “Christ the Conqueror.'- the text
being, Isa. 63. 1: Wbb is this that cometh
from Edom, with dyed garments from
Bozrah? this that is glorious in his ap
parel, traveling in the greatness of his
•trength ?*’
Edom and Bozrah, having been the
scene of fierce battle, when 'those words
are used here or in any ether part of the
Bible, they are figures of speech setting
forth scenes of severe conflict. As now we
Often use the word Waterloo to describe a
decisive contest of any kind, so the words
Bozrah and Edom in this text are figures
of speech descriptive of a scene of great
slaughter. Whatever else the prophet
may have meant to describe, he most cer
tainly meant to depict the Lord .lesus
Christ, saying, "Who is this that comeJ.ii
from Edom, with dyed garments trorn
Bozrah. traveling in the greatness of his
strength ?”
When a general is about to go out to the
wars, a flag ami a sword arc publicly pre
sented to him. and the maidens bring
flowers, and the young men load the can
non. and the train starts amidst a huzza
that drowns the thunder of the wheels
and the shriek of the whistle. But all
this will give no idea of the excitement
that there must have been in heaven when
Christ started out on the campaign of the
world s conquest. If they could have
foreseen the siege that would be laid to
him. and the maltreatment he would suf
fer. and the burdens he would have to
carry', and the battles he would have to
fight, I think there would have been a
million volunteers in heaven who would
have insisted on coining along with him ;
but no, they only accompanied ihim to the
gate, their last shout heard clear down to
the earth, the space between the two
worlds bridged with a great hosanna.
You know there is a wide difference be
tween a man's going off to battle and com
ing back again. When he goes off. it is
with epaulets untangled, with ban
ner unspeeked, with horses sleek
and shining from the groom. All
that there is of struggle and pain is to
come yet. So it was with Christ. He
had not yet fought a battle. He was
starting out. and though this world did
not give him a warm-hearted greeting,
there was a gentle mother who folded
him in her arms; and a babe finds no
difference between a stable and a palace,
between courtiers and camel-drivers. As
Jesus stepped on the stage of this world,
it was amidst angelic shouts in the galler
ies and amidst the kindest maternal min
istrations. But soon hostile forces began
to gather. They deployed from the
Sanhedrim. They were detailed from the
standing army. They came out from the
Cesarean castles. The vara bonds in the
street joined tbo gentlemen of the man
sion. Spirits rode up from hell, and in
long array there came a force together
that threatened to put to rout
this newly arrived one from heaven.
Jesus now seeing the battle gathering,
lifted his own standard; but who
gathering about it? How feeble .the re
cruits! A few shoremeu, a blind beggar,
a woman with an alabaster box, another
woman with two mites, and a group of
friendless, moneyless and positionless
people came to his standard. What
chance was there for him? Nazareth
against him. Bethlehem against him.
Capernaum against him. Jerusalem
against him. Galilee against him. The
courts against him. The army against
him. The throne against him. The world
against him. All lieil against him. No
wonder they asked him to surrender. But
he could not surrender, he could not
apologize, he could not take any back
steps He had como to strike for the de
liverance of an enslaved race, and he
must do the work. Then they sent
out their pickets to watch him.
They saw in what house he went,
and when he came out. They
watched what he ate, and who with;
■what ho drank, and how much. They did
not dare to make their final assault, for
they knew not but that behind him there
might be a reinforcement that was not
seen. But at last the battle came. Itwas
to be more fierce than 80/rah, more
bloody than Gettysburg, involving more
than Austerlitz, more combatants em
ployed than at Chalons, a ghastlier con
flict than all the battles of the earth put
together, though Edmund Burke's esti
mate of thirty-five thousand millions of
the slain be accurate. The day was
Friday. The hour wus between 13 and .1
o’clock. The field was a slight hillock
northwest of Jerusalem. The forces en
gaged were earth and hell, joined as allies
on one side, and heaven, represented by a
solitary inhabitant, on the other.
The hour came. Oh. what a time it
was! 1 thiuk that that day the universe
looked on. The spirits that could be
spared from the heavenly temple, and
could get conveyance of wing or chariot,
came down from above, anil spirits get
ting furlough from beneath came up; and
they listened, anc; they looked and they
watched. Oh, what an uneven battle!
Two worlds armed on one side; an un
armed man on the other. The regiment
of the Roman army at that timestationed
at Jerusalem began the attack They
knew how to fight, for they belonged to
the roost thoroughly drilled army of all
the world. With spears glittering in the
sun, they charged up the hill. The
horses prance and rear amidst the ex
citement of the populace—the heels of the
riders plunged in the flanks, urging them
on. The weapons begin to tell on Christ.
See how faini be looks! There the blood
starts, and there, and there and there. If
he is to have reinforcements, let him call
them up now. No: lie must do this work
alone—alone. He is dying. Feel for
yourselt of the wrist: the pulse is feebler.
Feel under the arm: the warmth is less.
He is dying. Ay. they pronounce him
dead. And just at that moment that they
pronounce him dead he rallied, and irom
his wounds ho unsheathed a weapon
which staggered tire Roman legions down
the hill, and hurled the satanie battal
ions into the pit. It was a weapon
of love - infinite love, all-conquering
love. Mightier than javelin or sjaar,
it triumphed over all. Put back, ve armies
of earth and hell! The tide of battle
turns. Jesus hath overcome. Let the
people stan i apart and make a line, that lie
may pass down from Calvary to Jerusa
lem, and thence on and out all armiuU the
world. The battle is fought. The vic
tory is achieved. The triumphal march
ia begun. Hark to the hoofs of the war
rior’s steed, and the tramping of a great
multitude! for he has many friends now.
The hero of ear:h and li-aven advances
Cheer! cheer! who is this that cometh
from Edom, with dyed garments from
Bozrah, traveling in the greatness of his
strength '
Wo behold here anew revelation of a
blessed and startling fact, people talk of
Christ as though he were going to do
something grand for us after awhile.
He uas done it. People talk ns
though ten or twenty years from
> n .tbo closing hours of our
Jii'. or in some terrible pass of life,
Jeous will help ns. Ho has done the
work already. He did it eighteen hun
dred and sixty-one years ago. You might
as well talk of Washington as though he
were going to achieve our national irtde
dendence in 1350. as to speak of Christ as
though he were :\.in_- to achieve our sal
vation in the future. He did it in the
year of our Lord eighteen hundred and
sixty-one years ago. on the field of Bozrah,
the captain of our salvation lighting unto
death for your and my emancipation. All
vve have to do is to accept that fact in our
heart of hearts, and we. are free for this
vvond. and we are free for the world to
come But, lest vve might not accept.
Christ comes through here to-day, -trav
eling in the greatness of his strength,'’
not to tell you that lie is going to fight
for you some battle in the future, but to
tell you that the battle is already fought,
and the victory already won.
You have noticed that, when soldiers
come home from the war. they
carry on their flags the names of the
battle fields where they were distin
guished. The Englishman coming back
has on his banner inkermanu and Balak
lava: the Frenchman. Jena, and Eylau ;
the German, Versailles and Sedan. And
Christ has on the banner hecarrh-s as con
queror the names of ten thousand battle
fields he won for you and for me. He
rides past all our homes of bereavement—
by the door bell swathed in sorrow, by
the wardrobe black with woe, by the dis
mantled fortress of our strength. Come
out and greet him to-day. O. ye people!
See the names of all the battle-passes on
his flag. Ye who are i>oor. read on this
ensign tho story of Christ's hard
crusts and pillovvless head. Ye
who are persecuted, read here
of the ruffians who chaseu him from
his first breath to his last. Mighty to
soothe your troubles, mighty to balk your
calamities, mighty to tread down your
foes, “traveling in the greatness of his
strength.” Though his horse be brown
with the dust of the march, and the fet
locks be wet with the carnage, ami the
bit be red with the i blood of your spir
ual foes, he comes up now, not exhausted
from the battle, but fresh as when he
went into it—coming up from Bozrah,
‘traveling in the greatness of his
strength.’’
You know that when Augustus, and
Constantine, and Trajan and Titus came
back from the wars, what a time there
was. You know they came on horseback
or in chariots, and there were trophies
before and there were captives behind,
and there were people shouting on all sides,
and there were garlands flung from the
window, and over the highway a
triumphal arch was sprung. The solid
masonry to-day at Beneventum, Rimini
and Rome, still tell their admiration for
those heroes. And shall we let our con
queror go without lifting any acclaim?
Have we not flowers red enough to depict
the carnage, white enough to celebrate
the victory, fragrant enough to breathe
the Joy ( Those men of whom I just spoke
dragged their victims at the chariot
wheels; but Christ, our Lord, takes those
who once were captives and iuvites them
into his chariot to ride, while lie puts
around them the arm of his strength,
saying, “L have loved thee with an ever
lasting love, and the waters shall not
drown it, and the fires shall not burn it,
and eternity shall not exhaust it.”
If this be true, I cannot see how any
man can carry his sorrows a great while.
If this conqueror from Bozrah is going to
beat back all your griefs, why not trust
binri Oh! do you not feel under this
gospel your griefs falling back, and your
tears drying up, as you hear the tramp of
a thousand illustrious promises led on by
the conqueror from Bozrah, “traveling,
traveling, in the greatness of his
strength?”
On that FYiday which the Episcopal
ehttrch rightly celebrates, calling it
"Good Friday,” your soul and mine vrero
contended for. On that day Jesus proved
himself mightier than earth and hell; and
when the lances struck him, he gathered
them up into a sheaf, as a reaper gathers
the grain, and ho stacked them. Mount
ing the horse of the Apocalypse, he rode
down through the ages, “traveling in the
greatness of his strength.” On that day
your sin and mine perished, if we will
only believe it.
There may be someone here who may
say, “I don’t like the color of this con
queror's garments. You tell me that his
garments were not only spattered with
the blood of conflict, but also that they
were soaked, that they were
saturated, that they were dyed in it.”
I admit it. You say you do uot like that.
Then I quoto to you two passages of
scripture: “Without tho shedding of
blood there is no remission." "In the
blood is the atonement.” But it was not
your blood. It was his owe. Not only
enough io redden his garments and to
redden his horse, but enough to wash
away the sins of the world. Oh tho
blood ou his brow, tho blood on his hands,
the blood on his feet, the blood on his
side! It seems as if an artery must have
been cut.
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins.
Aud sinners plunged beneath that flood

At two o’clock to-morrow afternoon
go among the places of busiuess or toil. It
will be no difficult thing for you to find
men who, hy their looks, show you that
they are overworked. They are prema
turely old. They are hastening rapidly
toward their decease. They liave gone
through crisis in business that shattered
their nervous avstem, and pulled on the
brain. They rave a shortness of breath,
aud a pain in the back of the head, and at
night an insomina that alarms them. Why
are they drudging at business early anil
late’ For fun? No; it would be difficult
to extract any amusement out of that ex
haustion. Because they are avaricious?
In many cases uo. Because their own per
sonal expenses arc lavish ? No, a few hun
dred dollars would meet all their wants.
The simple fact is, the man is endur
ing all that fatigue and exasperation, and
wear and tear, to keep his home pros|>cr
ous. There is an invisible line reaching
from that store, from that bank,from that
shop, from that scaffolding, to a quiet
scene a few blocks, a few miles
away, and t here is the secret of that busi
ness endurance. He is simply the cham
pion of a homestead, for which he wins
bread, and wardrobe, and education, and
prosperity,and in such battlo ten thousand
men fall. Of ten business men whom I
bury, nine die of overwork for others.

power of resistance, and they are gone.

At one o'clock to-morrow morning, the
hour when slumber is most uninterrupted
and most profound, walk amid the dwell
ing houses of the city. Here and there
you will find a dim light, because it is
the household custom to keep a subdued
light burning: but most of the houses
from base to top are as dark as though
uninhabited. A merciful God has sent
forth the archangel of sleep, and lie puts
his wings over the city. But yonder is a
a clear light burning, and outside on the
window casement a giuss or pitcher con
taining food for a si. k child : tho food is
set m tho fresh air. This is the sixth
night that mother has sat up with that
sufferer. Sho has to the last point
obeyed the physician's prescrintiou, not
giving a drop too much or too little, or a
moment too soon or too late. She is very
anxious, for she has buried three child
ren with tho same disease,
and she prays amt weeps,
each prayer ami sob ending with a kiss of
the paio cheek. By dint of kindness she
gets the little one through the ordeal,
-vttcr it is all over, tho mother is taken
down. Brain or uervous lever sets in,
and one day sho leaves the convalescent
child with a mother's blessing, and goes

Or perhaps the mother lingers long

her if she has any message to leave, and
she makes great effort to say something,
but out of three or four minutes of indis

words. “My poor boy!" The simple fact
is she died for him. Life for life. Sub

About thirty-four years ago there went
forth from our homes hundreds of thou
sands of n en to do battle for their coun
try. AU the poetry of war soon vanished,
and left them nothing but the lerribie
prose. They waded knee-deep in mud.
They slept in snow-banks. They marched
till their cut feet tracked the earth. They
wore swindled out of theirhonost rations,
and lived on meal not fit for a dog. They
had jaws all fractured, and eyes extin
guished, and limbs shot away. Thou
sands of them cried for water us they lay
dying on the field the night after the bat
tle. and got it not. They were homesick,
and received no message from the loved
ones. They died in barns, in bushes, in
ditches, the buzzards of the summer heat
the only attendants on their o -oquies.
No one but the infinite God who knows
everything, knows the ten thousandth
Part of the length, and breadth, and
depth, and height of anguish of the north
ern and southern battlefields. Why did
these fathers lea ve their children and go
to the front, and why did these young
men. postponing their marriage day, start
out into the probabilities of never coining
back? For the country they died. Life
for life. Blood for blood. Substitution !
But we need not go so far. What is
that monument in Greenwood? It is to
the doctors who fell in the southern epi
demics. Why go? Were there not enough
sick to be attended in these northern
latitudes! Oh, yes; but the doctor puts
a few medical hooks in his valise, and
some vials of medicine, and leaves his pa
tients here in the hands of other physi
cians. and takes a rail-train. Before he
gets to tho infected regions ho passes
crowded rail-trains, regular and extra,
taking the flying and affrighted popula
tions. He arrives in a city over which a
great horror is brooding. He goes from
couch to couch, feeling of pulse and
studying symptoms, and prescribing
day after day, night after night,
until a fellow-physician says: “Doc
tor, you had better go home and
rest: you look miserable.” But lie can
not rest while so many are suffering. On
and on, until some morning finds him in a
delirium, in which ho talks of home, and
then rises and says he must go and look
after those patients. He is told to lie
down : but he lights his attendants until
he falls back, and is weaker aud weaker,
and dies for people with whom he had no
kinship, and far away from his own
family, and is hastily put away in a
stranger’s tomb, and only the fifth part of
a newspaper line tolls us of his sacrifice—
liis name just mentioned among five. Yet
he has touched tho furthest height of sub
limity in that three weeks of humanita
rian service. He goes straight as an arrow
to the bosom of him who said: “I was
sick and ye visited me.” Life for life.
Blood for blood. Substitution?
Some of our modern theologians who
want to give God lessons about tho best
way to save the world, tell us they do not
want any blood in their redemption. They
want to take this horse by the bit, and
hurl him back on his haunches, and tell
this rider from Bozrah to go around some
other way. Look out, lest ye fall under
the flying hoofs of this horse; lost ye go
down under the sword of this conqueror
from Bozrah! What meant the blood of
the pigeons in the old dispensation? the
blood of the bullock? the blood of the
heifer! tho blood of the lamb! it meant
to prophesy the cleansing blood, the par
doning blood, the healing blood of this
conqueror who comes up from Bozrah,
“traveling in the greatness of his
strength.” I catch a handful of the red
torrent that rushes out from the heart of
the Lord, and I throw it over this audi
ence, hoping that one drop of its cleans
ing power may come upon your soul. O
Jesus! iu that crimson tide wash our
souls! We accept thy sacrifice! Con
queror of Bozrah, have mercy upon us!
We throw our garments in the way! We
fall into line! Ride on, Jesus, ride on!
“Traveling, traveling is the greatness of
thy strength.”
But after awhile the returning con
queror will reach the gate, and all the
armies of the saved will be with him I
hope you will be there, and I will be
there. As we go through the gate and
around about the throne for the review,
'*a great multitude that uo mau cau num
ber”—all heaven can tell without asking,
right away, which one is Jesus, not only
because of the brightness of his face, but
because, while all the other inhabitants
in glory’ are robed in white-saints iu
white, cherubim in white, seraphim in
white—his robes shall be scarlet, even the
dyed garments of Bozrah. 1 catch a
glimpse of that triumphant joy, but the
gate opens and shuts so quieklv I cau
hear only half a sentence, and it 'is this:
“Unto him who hath washed us in his
blood!”

direct to Europe from this port the
risk is not so great as with those
which go to Norfolk. Va., to take ic
bunker coal. Ihe latter, being thus
cramped up for ounker space under these
charters leave the Chesapeake with coal
upon their decks, and if they meet tine
weather get along all right. If on th? other
hand, they meet tad weather, the coal so car
ried must inevita ly be lost. I should have
thought tha* it would te almost a reductic ad
apsurdam to literally carry out the clause of
tn*- charters which stipulates that be
cause a vessel has at one time had
cargo in her cross bunkers from one
place, she must take it in that
space from here irrespe tive of the con
s.deration of distance aud coaling possioili
ties upon the route from here to Western
Europe as compared with those of any other
voyage. For instance, a steamer coming
from the east to Europe uas coaling stations at
intervals of from 1.000 to l.7W> miles all along
her way; aid it would be absurd to main
tain that the same bunker space which
would be sufficient for an eastern voyage,
wouid be also sufficient for a voyage from the
Chesapeake or from New Orleans to
Europe. In spite of any prima facie absurdity
it is. nevertheless, the custom in this port to
enforce, as I said before. this stipulation in
its literal sense: and the result is that steam
ers are cow leaving the eastern ports of the
L niter! States for Western Europe with
bunker coal on deck and only sufficient below
their decks to carry them two thirds, or
less. of the way across; or. in
other words, it is now becoming the
custom for vessels to begin a passage
across the most stormy part of the Atlantic
in winter with the full consciousness that
the re is not in the vessel under deck suffi
cient fuel to sb am to Europe if they
happen to encounter bad weather,
sooner or later there must be some
tremendous claims upon I’nderwriters
on account of this; and whether it is already
known to underwriters or not. one thing is
quite certain, and that is that the case of the
tirst vessel, of which the fa. ts become known,
will be either actually or professedly an
awakening to them. 'the man who willie
made the scape goat for the blindness or de
linquencies of all panics will be the ship
master.
Being an underwriter yourself. I believe
you cun do some good to all concerned by
moving iu the matter and getting a stop put
to Jhe system through the influence of the
underwriters and the companies. Neither of
the sides interested will chauge their tactics
so long as they can get someone to take the
risks for them.

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have nerfeot eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to fit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uuinstructed dealers
are criminally careless of the most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating In Germany and my thirty years'
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optics in New
York 3nd learned the latest and best methods
of ascertainll.g the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
can fit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and improve youreyesightinstead
of rapidly ruining it. as poorly fitted glasses
will always do. No charge for examination.
