THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN¬
DAY SERMON.
Subject: “The March of Christ
Through the Centuries.”
Tkxt: “On His head were many
crowns.”— Revelations xix., 12.
May your ears be alert and your thoughts
concentrated and all the powers of your
soul aroused while I speak to you of “the
march of Christ through the centuries.” in

of Galilee and palaces at Jerusalem and
imperial Uthrooins at Jericho and obelisks
at Cairo and the Pantheon at Rome, with
its Corinthian the portico Parthenon and its sixteen Athens, granite with
columns, and at
Its glistening coronet of temples, and there
were mountains of fine architecture in many
parts of the world, but none Chieftain of them was to
be the starting place of the I cele

this last month in Denver, in his eighty.
sixth year, has described, in his volumne en
titled, “The Land and the Book,” Bethlehem
as he saw it.
Winter before last I walked up and down
thegray hills of Jura limestone on which
the village now rests. The fact that King
David had been born there, had not during
ages elevated the village into any special
attention. The other fact that it was the
birthplace of our Chieftian did not keep
the place in after years from special dis
honor, for Hadrian built there the Grove of
Adonis, and for one hundred and eighty
years the religion observed there was the
most abhorrent debauchery the world has
ever seen. Our Chieftain was considered
dangerous from the start. The world had
put suspicions eyes upon Him because at the
time of His birth the astrologers had seen
stellar commotions—a world out of its place
and shooting down toward a caravansary,
Star divination was a science. As late a?
the Eighteenth century it had its votaries,
At the Court of Catherine de Medici it was
honored. philosophers that

the world ever saw, declared it was a true

House of Commons in England to give bis
opinion as to future events. For ages the

Horn in this world.
Ido not wonder that the commotions in
the heavens excited the wise men on the
night our Chieftain was born. As He came
from another world and after thirty-three
years was again to exchange worlds, it does
not seem strange tome that astronomy
should have felt the effect of His coming,
And instead of being unbelieving about the
one star that stooped I wonder that all the
worlds in the heavens did not that Christ

or meteor the bearing of the news of the
humanization of Christ? Where was Mars
that night tbat it did not indicate the
mighty wars tbat were to come between
righteousness, and iniquity? Where was
Jupiter that night that it did not celebrate
omnipotence incarnated? Where was the
Pleiades that night that they did not an
nounce the storms of persecution that would
assail our Chieftian?
In watching this march of Christ through
the centuries, we must not walk before Him
or beside Him, for that would not be rev
erential or worshipful. .So we walk behind
Him. We follow Him while not yet in His
teens, up a Jerusalem terrace, to a build
ing six hundred feet long and six hundred
feet wide, and under the hovering splen
dor of gateways, chiseled and by a pillar shape of crowned flow
with capital into the
ers and leaves, and along by walls
of beveled masonry and near a mar
ble screen, until a group of white-haired
philosophers and theologians bewilders gather and around
Him, and then overwhelms the boy these scholarly con
founds and
septuagenarians with questions they can
not answer, and under Ijhs qu they ck whys their and
whyfors and hows and whens pull and rub
white beards with embarrassment
their wrinkled foreheads in confusion, and,
putting their staffs hard down on the marble
floor as they arise to go, they must feel like
chiding the boldness that allows twelve
years of age to ask seventy-five years of age

by forty days and forty nights of absti

rocks, suggestive of how He can hurl into
helplessness all our temptations. And now
we climb right after Him up the tough sides
of the “Mount of Beatitudes,” and on
tbe highest pulpit of rocks, the Valley
of Hatin before Him, the Mediterra- Lake of

Christ our leader is on the top of the toss

the morning, and it is the darkest time just
before daybreak. But by the flashes of
lightning we see Him putting His feet on
the crest of the wave, stepping from crest
to crest, walking the white surf solid as
though it were frozen snow. The sailors
think a ghost is striding the tempest, but He
cheers them into placidity, showing Himself
to be a great Christ for sailors. And Ha

In further following our great Chieftain’s

Jerusalem, and on a moveable platform

criminal is pardoned, Pilate lets the peo
plo choose whether it shall be an as
sassin or our Chieftian, and they all cry
out for the liberation of the assassin,
thus declaring they prefer a murderer tb the
salvation of the world, Piiata took a-basiu
of water in front of these people and tried
to wash off the blood of this murder from
his hands, but he could not. They are still
lifted, and I see them looming up through
all the age 3 , eight fingers and two thumbs
standing out red with the carnage.
Still following our Chieftain, I asc?nd the

for He has not only two heavy timbers to

from exhaustion caused by lack of food,
mountain elmwood chills, desert heats,whippings of with
rods and years maltreatment.
It took our party in 1880 only fifteen
minutes to climb to the top of the hill and
reach that limestone roek in yonder wall,
which I rolled down from the apex of Mount
Calvary. But I think our Chieftan must
have taken a long time for the ascent, for
He had ail earth and all heaven and all hell

flowers and trees the of lilies, a, garden, the the gladioluses

It was the greatest day heaven

Brown stepped upon the platform and
suddenly seed the picture it took my
breath, and Brown yelled; jumped
“Lav down, melish!” as he
back and fell behind a bench.
A gentlemen by the name of Hubner—
Mijor Charles W. Huhnei—stepped and up

seated me, and then turned and tried to
get Brown from behind the bench.
“You ci n’* fool me!” said Brown.
“I’ve been utre before! Picture thun¬
der! Lay down, melish!” as he tucked
his head aud lay closer lo the flench.
By this time the whole crowd had
gathered aad were laughing at Brown,
but it took some time to convince him.
As we stood and let our eyes travel
along the river, and up and dowD the
valleys, watched old Lookout, and turning
followed the ranges of mountains for
miles upon milts into other States,
Brown took a long breath and said :
“This is the place.”
As w e became pacified and stood and
had our memories refreshed by the Major
pointing out first one place and than an¬
other, and dwelling upon events of the
battle, it seemed that we were living over
again the 23th of November, 1803. It
was grand !”
We endorse every word “Plunkett”
says in regard to this wonderful attrac¬
tion, now on exhibition in Atlanta. It
is the grandest attraction ever seen in
the South.
Gratifying to All.
The high position attained and the uni¬
versal acceptance and approval of the pleas¬
ant liquid fruit remedy Syrup of Figs, as the
most excellent laxative known, illustrate the
value of the qualities on which its success is
based and are abundantly gratifying to the
