Standing in a court-room yon ray to y »:•-

have t > tell you to-day ■ f a trial higher' thau
anv Over an 1 Terminer or Circuit or Su
preme or Chau fry. It is ths trial otevery
Christian man for the life of his soul. This
trial is different from any other in the fart
that it is both civil and criminal. The issues
a t stake are tremend >us, and I shall in my
sermon show you, first, what are the grounus
of complaint: tlx n, » ho are the witnesses in
the 1 ause, and lastly, who are the advo ate-.
When a trial is callel on. the first thiug is
t > have the indictment read. Stand up then.
iHhii-tian men, and hear the indictment
~f the court of high heaven against thy soul.
It i» an indictment of ten counts, for thou
j, is directly or indirectly broken ail the ten
.■omniandmenta You know h>w it thiin
,l, red on Sinai, and when God came do« n
h ,w the mountain rocked and the smoke as
,, ,nli das from a smouldering furnace and the
darkness gathered thick and the loud deep
trumpet utt’ied the word-: “The soul that
u.n r th, it shall die!’’ Are you guilty or not
guilty.' Do not put in a negative plea too
,piies, for 1 have to announce that “all have
-inned mid co ne short of the glory of God.
Thera is none that doethgood: no, not one.
U huso ver shall keep the whole law, yet of
ten I in one point, he is guilty of all. ’ Do
not. th refore, be too hasty in pronouncing
viwr.self npt guilty.
This lawsuit before us also charges you
with the breaking ot a solemn contra t.
Many a time did wo promise to be the
Lord's. We got down on our knees and said:
Lord, 1 am thine now und forever. ’
Did you keep the promise. l Have you stood
up to the contract! 1 go back to your first
communion. You remember it as well ns if
it were yesterday. You know how the vis
ion of the cross rose before you. You re
member how from the head and the han is
mid the side and the feet, there camo bleed
ing lorth these two words: “Remember
Me You recall how the cup of communion
treiubleil in your hand w hen you first took
it; and as in a sea-sheli you may hear, or
thiuk you hear, the roaring of the surf even
after the shell has been taken from the
beach, so you lifted the cup of
communion and you beard in it
the surging of the great otean of
a Saviour’s agony; and you came forth from
that communion service with face shining as
though you had been on the Mount of Trans
figuration; and the very air seemed tremu
lous with the love of Jesus, and the woods
and the leaves and the grass and the birds
wer brighter and sweeter-voiced than over
before, aud you said down in the very depths
of your soul: “Lord, Thou knowest all
things; Thou knowest that I love Thee.’
Have you kept the bargain, O Christian
man: Have yon not sometimes faltered
when you c „ht to have been true! Have you
not been p: oud when you oughtto hare been
humble.' Have yon not played the coward
wlr n you ought to have been the hero! I
charge it upon you and I charge it upon my
self—we have broken the contract.
.Still further; this law suit claims damages
at your hands. The greatet slander outlie
Christian religion is an inconsistent profes
sor. The Bible says religion is one thing:
webyour inconsis ency say religion is some
oth r thing, and what is more deplorable
about it is that people can see faults of others
while they cannot see any in themselves. If
you shall at any time find some mi :<■.able old
gossip, with imperfections from the crown
ot her head to the sole of imr foot, a perfe t
blotch of sin herself, she will go tattling, tat
tling, tattling all the years ot her life ab ut j
the inconsistencies of others, having no idea
that she is inconsistent herself. God save the ;
world from the gossip, female und male. I
think the males aro the worst! Mow the
chariot of Christ’s salvation goes on through I
the world; but it is our inconsistencies,
my brethren, that bio -k up the wheels, while
a!l along the line there ought to have been
cast nothing but palm branches, and the
shout should have been lifted: “Hosanna
to the son of David.”
Now you have heard tho indictment road.
Are you ready to plead guilty or not
guilty' Perhaps you aro not ready yet to I
plead. Then the trial will go on. The wit
nesses will be called and we shall have the |
matter decided. In the name of God I now I
make proclamation. flyez! Uyezd Oyez! 1
Whosoever hath anything to offer in this
tr.a , in which God is the plaintiff and the
Christian soul the defendont, let him now
step forth and give testimony in this solemn
trial.
The first witness that I call upin the stand
iu behalf of tho prosecute n is the world - all
criti al and observant of Christian character.
You know that there are people around you
wh > [ erpetually banquet on the frailties of
God's children. You may know, if you have 1
live! in the country, th it a er >w cares for '
nothing so much as carrion. There are those i
who imagine that out of the faults of < hris
tians they can make a bridge of Itoats across i
th" stream of death, and they are gang tn
try it; but, a'as, for the mistake! V. ben they
ge: amid stream away will go the bridge,
and down will go 'their souls to per- ;
ditiou. O world of tho greedy eye and i
the hard heart, come on the stand now
and testify iu behalf of the prosecution
against this Christian sml on trial. What
do you kuow about this Christian man!
Hi. says t'lo world. “1 know a great deal
Bl>. nt him. He talks about i utting his treas- (
art's in heaven, but he is the sharpest man in :
a I::'.-1 ever km: w. He seems to want us to I
be! thaf he is a chil lof G id, but ho is i
ju-i full of imperfections. Ido not know :
1> it lam a great deal better th in lie is now. ■
O I'iitimes hi is very earthly.and ho talks so
little ab iut Christ and so much about him- I
self. lam very glad to testify that this is a ;
ba 1 man.”
•‘■top, O World with tho greedy eye and |
h r heart. I fear you are too much inter- j
<• '. in this trial to give impartial evidence, i
Li i'l those who hear tue testimony of this :
w. . ( know that there is an old family |
'! ’ .r-1 between these two jarties. There
al’.i iyshas I een u variance between tho i
w rl t and the ehur h and while the world '
on 11. • witness stand to-day has told a great |
'ie.".l'J truth about this Christian man, you ,
must take it all with some allowance, re- I
niombermg that they still keep the oil
gni Ire goisl. <) World of the greedy eye
an I the hard heart, hat w.Il do. You may
sit down.
Th? second witness I call-in this case is
( ' ion• e. Who art thou. O Conscience?
W;. a is your business f Whera were you
burn ' What are you doing here' “Oh,”
S'iv; Cjp science. “I was born in heaven;!
<a io down to befriend this nian; I have lived
him. I have instruct-d him. I have
warned him. I shovel him th? right and
th wron: r , advising him to take tho one and
h'*w tho ether: I have kindie 1 a great
li-'i t in his 'Oul: with a whip of scorpions I
hav • scourge 1 his wickedness an 1 I
harp tried to c’ cer him when doing
right; and yet J am compelled to
testify on tho stand to-day that he has
etimes rejected my mission. Oh. h>w
hi tnv mips of life have I p’es-ed to his lies
t at he dashed do wn, and how* often has ho
ston| with his Lard he?l on tho bleeding
h’ ii tof the Son of God! T* pains me very
mu h !h?t I have to testify against this
J’hr.'.tian man. and yet 1 must, in Im half of
Him who will in no wise lesr the guilty, say
that drs Christian man has done wrong. Ho
ha> Seen worlily. He has been neglectful.
He has done a thou and thing- he ought not
to have done and left und ne a thousand
thini’xhe ought t>havedon rt .” That will do,
Cor.-? ience. You can sit d jwn.
The third witness I call in the case is an
•nge. of Go I Bright and shining one. what
d> y than here' What hast thou to ay
against this man on trial ? “Oh.” savs the
-1. *‘l have beeu a m essenger to him and
havegiardel him. I have watched him.
' With this wiug I defended him, and often
. times when he knew it not I led him into the
j green j>ast.ires an 1 beside tho still waters. 1
sn it died from him the poisoned chal
i ices. When bid spirits came upon
i him to destroy him. I fought them
ba k with in nite fler'eness; and vet I
have to tastifv to-day that ho has re;et»t d
inv mission. Ho has not done as he ought to
have done. Timu rh I came from th? sky ho
dro eme back. Thotuh with this wing I
defended h m and though with this voice I
w >oo l him, I have to annouii •© his mu ti
nl’c I importe tions, t <hr? icski'M-ar:
the testimony, f >r th m I sh ml 1 not dare to
nyp >nr again am >n r th' sinless one- before
’t.'> grea* whit • throne.”
! There is onlv one more witness to b» called
on behalf of the nroseeution ami that is tue
I great, the holy, the august the omnii'oteit
Spirit of God. Wo bow down before him.
1 Holy Spirit, knowest thou this man? “Oh,
I yes. ears the Holv On?. “1 know him. I
have striven with him ten thousand times
| and t ough s miethnes he did ‘com to repent,
• he fell back again a< often from his first es-
I tat' Ten thousand times ten thousan I has
he grieve 1 n.o. although the Bible warned
I him. saying: ‘Griove not the Holy Ghost.
I Ouench not the Spirit.’ Yes. he has
driven mo back. Though I am the
rinrd Person of the Trinity, ba has
i trampled on my mission, and the blood of
the at mement that I brought with which to
I cleanse his soul, he sometimes despised 1
. came from the throneof God to convert, and
comfort and sanctify, and yet look at that
man an d see what he is compared with what, '
i unresisted, I would have made him.”
Tbeoviden eon the part of tho prose ’u
t ion has closed. Now let tho defence bring
I on the rebuttal testimony. What have you,
I OChristian soul,to bring in repl}' to this
deuce of the world, cf the conscience, of
the angel and of the Holy Ghost? No evi
dence? Are all the e things true' “Yes.
I ndean. unclean,” says every Christian
soul. AS hat? Do you not begin to tremble
at the thought of condemnation?
AV e have come n >w to the most interesting
part of this great trial. Theevidence all in,
the advocate* speak. Ihe profession of an
advo rate is full of resron-ibility. In Eng
land and the 1 nited states there have arisen
men who in this calling have been honored by
their race and thrown contempt upon those
who in tho profession ha\e bemi guilty of a
great many meannesses. That profession
will be honorable as 1< ng ns it has attached
to it such names as Mansfield and Marsh: 11. i
and Story, and Kent and Southard, and |
William Wirt. The court-room has so up
times bean th ‘ scene of very marvellous aad
thriliiig things. Some of you remember thq
famous Girard will case, wheio one of our
advocates pleaded the cau-eof the Bible and '
Christianity in masterly Anglo*Saxon, every
paragraph a thunderbolt.
Some of you have read of the famous trial
in West minster Hall, of Warren Hastings,
tho despoiler of India. That great man had
conquered India by splendid talents, by
courage, by bribes, by gigantic dishonesty.
The whole world had rung with applause or
condemnation. Gathered in AVestminster
Hall, a place in which thirty Kings had been
inaugurated, was one of the most famous
audiences ever gathered. Foreign Ministers
and Princes sat there. I’eers inarched in
clad in ermine and gold. Mighty men and
women from all lands looked down ut on the
scene. Amid all that pomp aud splendor. ,
and amid an excitement such as has I
seldom been seen in any court- |
i room. Edmund Burke advanced in a
speech which will last as long as the English I
language, concluding with this burning
charge which made Warren Hastings cringe i
and cower: “1 impeach him intho narn? of ,
the ('ornmons House of Parliament, whoso i
trust h has betrayed. I impeach him in the i
name tho English nation, whose an dent |
honor In has sullied. I imp adi him in the ,
name of the people of India, whose rights he
has trampled on. and whose country he has
turned into a desert. And. lastly, in tho
name ot human nature, in the name of both
sexes, in the name of every age and rank, I
impeach h m as the common enemy and op i
pessor of all.”
Tiwt 1 tern from the recital of those mem- '
orable’oe. a-ions to a giander trial aud 1 have '
to tell you that in this triai of th? Christian ■
for tho life of his soul the advocates aio
mightier, wiser aud more eloquent. Theevi- j
donee all b?ing in, Just ce nsds in behalf of i
tho prosecution to make his plea. With the ;
Bible open in his hand, he reads the law,
stern and inflexible, and the penalty: “The
soul that sinneth, it shall die.” Then bo I
says: “O. thou Judge and Lawgiver, this is '
Thine own statute and all tho evidence in
earth and heaven agrees in stating that this
man has sinned against all these enactments.
Now let tho sword leap from its scabbard.
Shall a man go through the very Hames of
Sinai uns ngol? L?t the law be executed.
Let judgment be pronounced. Lot him die. i
1 demand that be die.”
O Christian, does it not look very dark for
the '! Who will plea lon thy side in sn for- I
lorn a cause’ Somctim s a man will be
brought into a court of law and be will have
no friends aud no money, an 1 th * judge will
look over the bar an I say: “Is there an;
one who will volunteer to take this man’s
<a e and defend him?” an I some youn < man
rises up and says: “I will ba his eoun .el:”
perhaps starting on from that vary
point to a great and br.ll a.it career;
Now, in this matter of the soul,
as you have nothing to pay for counsel, do
you think that any one will volunteer.' Yes,
ye-: 1 see One rising. He is a young man,
only thirty-three years of age. I see His
countenance suffused with tears and covered
wdth blood, and all the galleries of heaven
are thrilled w.th the spo-taele. Thanks be i
unto God, “we have au advo ate with the I
Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”
O Christian sou), your case begins to look j
better. J thiuk perhaps after all you may .
not have to di •. The best advocate in all the j
universe has taken your side. No one was ■
ever so qualifier! to defend a man as this ad- |
vucate is qualified to defend you. He knows i
all the law, all its demands, all its penalties.
Ho is always ready. No now turn of the case
can surprise Him. and He will plead
for yon for nothing as earnestly as
thou rh you brought a world of treasures
to His feet. Besides that, Ho has
undertaken the < are of thousands who were
as forlorn as you. and ho has never lost a case.
Courage. O Christian soul. I think that after
all there may be some chance for you. for the
great Advo -at? rises to make his plea, he
says: “I adm.t all that has been proved
against my client, f admit all theso sins, aye,
more; but look at that wounded hand of
mine, and look at that other wounde I hand
•and at my right foot and atmv left foot. By
all th?3o wounds 1 pka 1 for bis clearnn c.
Count nil the dro s of my tears. Count
all the drops of my blool. By the humilia
tion of B ithleho n. by the sweit of Geth

Jeaipcd; to ’his heart he hath flown; in my
tears h - hath wasiie 1: on my righteousness h j
hath depende I. Let hin go free. I am the

s<-»urg nz . Let the up jwtss from him. I
drank it to the dregs. Put on him the crown
of life, for I have worn the crown of thorn*.
Over against my cro-s of shame set his
throneof triumph.
Well, the counsel on lioth sides have
spoken and there is only more thing remain
ing. and ihatm the awarding of the judg
ment. If you have ever b.-<*n in a < ourt
r »o j you know th? silence and th? solemnity
when the verdict is about to be rendered or
the judgment ab »;t to be given. About this
