Rev. Frank De Witt Talmage Tells
Us of the Truly Great
• fentered according to Act of the Par.
Heine:it of Canada, in the year Ono
".thousand Nine liv.ndred and Throe,
by Wm. Daily, of Toronto, at the
Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.),
A despatch from Chicago says :—
Rev, Frank De Witt Talmage preach-
ed from the following text : Matthew
xi, 11., "There Bath not risen a
greater than John the Baptist:,,
"Great men, great events and
great epochs grow bigger arid more
colossal as the years Bass away
from them,," once wrote the biogra-
pher of Robert Burns. Like the
mountain shadows they increase in
size and their reputations lengthen
in importance as the sun of their
day sets and the long )light of their
rest separates us from then. Like
the mythological heroes arid heroines
of old, their leaders' brows become
luminous with crowns of gold. No
cathedral impresses us so much as
the venerable pile that is covered
with moss and creeping ivy. Man
is seldom called great and truly
great until be has been dead at least
twenty years.
But standing to -day under the
lengthening shadows of nla.ny great
reputations these imminent questions
naturally arise in many minds :
What is true greatness ? What aro
the elements wllicli distinguish the
truly noble from the merely selfishly
famous ?
JOHN TIIE BAPTIST'S GLORY.
The purpose of this serrnon is to
show why; .Toler the Baptist was
greater than all other men before
Christ's Jordanic baptism—John the
Baptist great, although be was so
poor that his home was among the
rocks and sands of the wilderness,
lying between the capital and the
Dead sea; so poor that his only gar-
ments were the coarse skin of „ the
wild beast, through the holes of
which stretched his long limbs and
hairy chest; so poor that his only
food was the grasshoppers or locusts
and the honey which lead been bid-
den by the bees among the' caverns
and the hills.
From the world's standpoint this
is a strange portrait of a great man.
But ;,ow wonderful is its setting.
The fabled portrait was of a gold
face with a silver • frame, but the
portrait of John the Baptist is a
silver face with a gold frame. Like
a. ruby glowing red it is set in a
circle of most precious diamonds.
Like a mirror of burnished brass,
pure arid spotless, it reflects the
light of a rising sun. It was John
the Baptist's glory that he was the
harbinger of a greater than himself.
As the direct forerunner of the Son
of God ho carne at the supreme crisis
of the world's history. His name
was thus linked with the most mom-
entous of all events and 'derives a
luster from the connection. There
seenis to be a natural law that great
men should always be identified with
great events.
TRAINING FOIL GREATNESS.
There must be a training for great-
ness.. 'l'he occasion does not create
greatness; it only develops and pro-
duces it. It cannpt create or make
gren.teness out of common clay. We
do not assert that history can play
a Handel's "Messiah" upon a dinner
plate or blow a bugle blast with a
penny whistle or catch thunderbolts
with a straw hat or shoot masto-
dons with pins or strangle volcanoes
with spider webs. The old poets
said that when worlds are used for
shuttlecocks and the universe is a
playground and all infinity is ablaze
with the conflagration then the very
gods themselves must take part in
the sport. It mods stronger arms
than yours or mine to pitch islands
for quoits, to bowl 'down mountains
for tenpins, to swing hemispheres as
an athlete hurls the har)uner, or,
with stamp of foot, to make the
submerged continent Atlantis, which
once stretched between the old world
and the new, with a dying gin to
sink an'cl 'disappear. But great
needs bring great men from obscur-
ity into prominence. The occasion
furnishes the opportunity.
Great men are produced only by
great .emergencies. . This premise be-
ing granted, what greater event is
there in all history than that of the
coming . of the promised Messiah ?
How much it meant to the world
and to us 1 What life of eternal joy
have we except that which revolves
about the personality of �hisu who
was once baptized by John the Bap-
tist in the river Jordan ? What
hope leave we 61 ever meeting our
loved ones, our parents and our
friends who base gone beyond except
through the Divine Being of whom
John the Baptist was the direct fore-
runner ? Ob, my friends, as John
the Baptist's name was great by be-
ing Baked to the name of Jesus
Christ at his first coming, will you
not make your name great by 'doing
your part toward preparing the
world :for Cellist's second coming
• A FOIt.EIIUNNER OF GOOD.
John the Baptist, was a direct fore-
runner. . He was more than . that.
He was ready to sink and submerge
and entirely cover up his individual-
ity with the personality of Jesus
Christ. Ire was ready to let Christ
be all in all. He wanted to be
merely. a footlight to slake the di-
vine face shine forth the more clear-
ly. Fre was willing to 'decrease so
that the glory of his Saviour might
increase. Do we, like John the
Baptist, sink our individualities in
Christ's or do we, like sotto of the
ancient forerunners of the east pre-
ceding the king's chariots,, wish to
be 'dressed so gorgeously and to
make so much noise that people will
be watching tis and admiring our
strides 'instead of turning their' eyes
toward the royal Master whom we
are proclaiming '? Aro we wishing
that all eye'. shall bo turned upon
us instead of upon Jesus ? Are wo
trying to preach sec that men may
say. "That is a fine sermon ?" Or
are the tr)'1ng to preach so that, as
when Demosthenesharangued, his
at:Alto:s ct'ied1, "Let us go and fight •
Philip 1" our hearers may
"Coyne let us enlist under the
ner of Jesus ?"
A\PAMOUS PERSONALITY.
But let us inquire a little more
closely how J ohn the 'Baptist sub-
merged his life in• Christ. Jesus
was an unknown man at the time
John, the hermit and recluse, was
making the very palace walls at
Jersalem shake, Up thirty years
hirt years
of age Jesus was an unknown 'dwell-
er in a country village, The whole
extent • of Christ's earthly ministry
extended over only a short period
of three or four years. We read of
Jesus when he' was born. Then he
disappears, We read of him 'twelve
years later, when, as a boy, he talks
With the doctors in the temple. Then
he again disappears for eighteen long
years. Up to thirty years of age
Christ was politically and sociologi-
cally an unknown factor in eastern
life.
In the meantime who was this
John the Baptist? This second
young man, of about the same age
as Jesus, was the most famous per-
sonality in the east. He had lived
as a hermit. But the voice he lifted
reached, not only echoed throughout
the villages, but also throughout the
great capital itself. The rich and
the poor, the old and the young, the
government ofhoials and the peasant
alike left their homes to silt at his
feet. Great crowds swarmed about
this strange teacher wherever he
went. They pressed into his caves
as though they were temples. As a
result John built up a great school
of devotees and baptized his follovi-
ers by hundreds and thousands. Many
of them were ready to bow down
and worship hila as a temporal as
well as a spiritual king. Yet when
Jesus appeared this illustrious man
was ready, and gladly ready, to sur-
render all for Christ, Like John
the Baptist, aro we willing to lay
our fame, our wealth and our entire
life work at Jesus' feet?
FEARLESS FOR RIGHT.
Great was John the Baptist! At
the risk of his life he was ready to
denounce and attack the intrenched
and the practically invulnerable sins
of that 'day. 'IIe was not one of
those men who always stop and ask.
"Dees it pay?" before they attempt
to do what they ought to do. He
preached on the duties of men and
waged war against wickedness in
high places. He. declared against
evils as, mighty in his day as the
liquor traffic is in ours and never
condoned crime though the criminal
was a king. IIe was ready to look
the hideous monster sin squarely in
the face and then hit at that sin,
though his arm might seem to be as
helpless and weak as the hand of a
young girl striking at the wild beast
leaping upon her in the Roman are-
na. He culled a spade a spade, a
lie a lie, an adultery an adultery,.
blasphemy blasphemy and hypocrisy
hypocrisy wherever they were found.
He denounced and excoriated the sins
of the Jewish church. When Herod,
the governor, fell in love with his
own brother's wife and murdered
Phillip that he might marry her,
Jelin instantly hurled the divine
condemnation against the ruler. He
raised such a storm of popular in-
dignation that Herod flung him into
prison and afterward, at the behest
of his step -daughter, who was danc-
ing before itini at a drunken feast,
he beheaded John and gave to her
the bloody trophy upon a charger.
Oh, niy brother, dare we, with
John's courage, attack intrenched sin
wherever it may bo found? Like
John the Baptist, are we great
enough and bravo enough, no hatter
wItat the direct cost .may be, to up-
hold the great principles of gospel
truth in the store, the home, the
factory, the'city hall—aye, through
the sacred aisles of the church it-
self?
tself? Dare we do this even though
the earthly "powers that be" should
unsheathe the glittering sword of
death and wave it over our heads
and the heads of our loved ones?
GREAT IN DEATH.
I3ut, though John the Baptist was
great in life, he was also great :In
dearth. Like the pioneer who enters
the American forests and cuts away
the trees and pulls up the stumps
and builds the home and plants the
can, in order that his children may
reap the harvests after the father is
gone, so John the Baptist, not for
himself, but for thoso who should
come after him, lived his life ani£ at
last laid it down a martyr. John's
death was as beneficient in its re-
sults as that mother's death might
be which would bring together the
warring factions of her family and
reunite them beside the altar of her
casket.
11 you follow the teachings of the
Bible very carefully you will find
there was a war, a rivalry, a jeal-
ousy, between the followers of Jesus
CIirist and the followers of John.
There was no war between John and
Christ. No sooner did Jesus appear
than John bent the knee and render-
ed unto him full and complete obe'li-
ence. But this obedience was not
true in reference to the Johanniaq
school. In the fourth chapter of
John we find that in order to still
this rivalry Christ with his followers
left the southern regions of Judaea
and travelled north and went
through Samaria, But no sooner
was John the Baptist dead than his
disciples took the headless trunk of
his body anii buried it and "wont
and told Jesus." Ah, yes, by
John's death all these factions were
healed.' The Johannian school be-
came in tote the "sehool of the 1
Nazarene."Is it not a blessed
thought that if we live for Christ
this side of the grave wo may still
continue to live in influence for
Christ after We are, dead? Jolla the
say,
ban-
Baptist, great before 1114 sacrificer
John the I3aptist, great after he was
martyred!
A THOUGHT ILLUSTRATED.
Perhaps I can illustrate the Bible
thought in Asi 1o way. A
great
wall or fortress has to be built. The
work must be pushed. One group of
workmen ascend the set:Abiding and
lay on one layer of stone and then
go to their rest. Another group lay.
another layer of stone upon the pre-
ceding layer and then go to their
rest. !incl so the work upon the
wall grows higher and higher, each
group of workmen standing upon li
loftier sealiolding than that of the
preceding; laborers, Well, the great
wall of progress has been builded its
this way. Each generation repre-
sents as batch of Workmen, each lay-
er of stone the completed work of
the preceding generation. 'rite col-
lege boy of to -daffy knows more of
geography, more of chemistry, more
of astronomy, more of all the sciene-
es, than the ablest matt living three
centuries ago. Why? Because he
has absorbed the compact knowledge
of the last 800 years, which the
great scholars of those three cen-
turies have laid at his feet.
But as the wall of mental and
spiritual progress went on growing
higher and higher century after cen-
tury suddenly about 1,1)00 years ago
spiritually it took a miraculous lift.
Christ's sacrifice was laid upon the
top of it. The Calvary stones were
the layer's of the year S0 A. 1).
Those stones will lift all succeeding
generations Higher in lcnowledge and
in possibilities, Higher than all sin
and higher than all future condemna-
tions. I once heard a worldly man
say: "The best man that ever lived
never went to heaven. on his•own
merits. 11 we ever reach the city of
the redeemed, it must be through
what Christ has done for us and not
through what wo have done for our..
selves." This statement contains
the kernel, the essence, the heart of
all the gospel. John the Baptist in
his own life great? Yes! "Yet,
notwithstanding, he that is least in
the kingdom of heaven is greater
than he."

NOV. 1.
Text of the Lesson, .II. Sam. xv.
1-12. Golden Text,
Ex. xx., 12.
After the everlasting, unconditional
covenant made with David concerning
his son, who wouid be Israe1"11
siah,
'tisiah, and the kingdom of righteous-
ness, as recorded in our last lesson
Iin this book (chapter vi£); we read
of David's great prosperity and
righteous reign (viii. ,15). 'Then
comes the record of his great sin and
repentance, the sin of Amnon and
his death at the hands of his brother
Absalom, after which Absalom fled
to the king of Geshur and remained
there three years, but through the
pleading of the wise woman of Te -
Icon, employed by Joab,. he came
back to Jersaleni and dwelt whole
years without reconciliation to his
father, after which, through Joab's
intercession, the king became recon-
ciled
econciled to him, saw flim and kissed
him (xiv., 28, 33). Absalom signi-
fies "father of peace," but his con-
duct suggests one who is of his fa-
ther the devil (John. viii., 44). The
king's kiss to Absalom was the lov-
ing kiss of a heartbroken father wel-
coming his erring son, but the kiss
of Absalom (£f ise dict kiss itis fa-
ther) . was like the kiss of Judas
when he betrayed his Master. This
is the third time in fourteen years
that we .have had this portion of
this chapter assigned as e. lesson in-
stead of the muck more helpful and
suggestive portion following, but we
aro asked to -day to study verse 23,
which is some improvement.
The story of Absalom is one of de-
ceit and lying and treachery and re-
bellion even against his own father.
Perhaps there was no one more wick-
ed. His unscrupulous self-seeking,
even at the cost of his father's life,
is suggestive of the devil, who
would if possible dethrone God, and
who will yet seek to do so ere the
age closes. Make a careful and pray-
erful study of the following passages
and be over on your guard against
all such manifestations. Isa. xiv.,
13, 14; Dan. vii., 23; viii., 24,25;
xi., 26; II. Thess. i£., 3, 4; Rev.
xiii., 5-7; xvii,, 14; xix., 19, 20.
There are many foreshadowings en a
small scale—politicians who will not
take up a matter without first con-
sidering how it may affect their own
political prospect; those who, for
their own ends, by good words and
fair speeches, deceive the hearts of
the simple; those who under pretense
of, worshipping God have only in
view their own promotion and pos-
sibly the overthrow of some . just
person. How *desperately wicked
must have been the heart of Absa-
lom, who, with profession of :devo-
tion to Go'd on his lips and his fa-
ther's blessing sounding in his ears,
goes forth to carry out his devilish
designs against his father. Yet
there is an ever increasing multitude
who aro disobedient to parents and
in open rebellion against God (II,
Tien. iii., 1-5). But as truly as David
returned and sat on his throne in
peace (nix., 14) so shall our Lord
Jesus return and reign on David's
throne, and the work of righteous-
ness shall be peace and the effect of
righteousness quietness and assur-
ance forever (Ise, ix., 6, 7; xxxii,,
17). There are many ahithophels
(foolish brethren, the name signi-
fies) Who stand high befere men
in relation to the king. but
who while outwardly professing al-
legiance, are really on tho side of
the enemy. Lot us turn from the
dark picture of self and sin. to the
faithful few who said to David in
ythis 'dark )lour, "Behold thy ser-
vants are roa'dy to do whatsoever
my lord the king shall appoint,," and
to Mal. who said, "As the Lord
liveth arid as my lord the king
livetji,, surely in What place my, lord
the king shell be; whether in ".death
or life, 'even there also. will thy ser-
vant be" (verses 15, 21)
To mere natural sight it looked
dark for Devitt,, but Cod lead promis-
ed that the. e. , k'
rngdorn Would be .estab-
lished forever,. and there were 'some -
Who had faith in Clod and were also
ready 'to 'die with David rather than
lite with Absalom. The time. was,
and in China 'only two years ago,
when to live meant to deny Christ,
but many confessed dila and *died for
Him. See in I{ev, xiil, 15-17,, a 'lee
scription of coaling days, and see in
Rev. xiv, 0-11; xv, 2-4, the•future of
'those who deny Christ 111 order to
live and the future of such as die for
His sake. • May we have the :spirit
of lttaf and of Ruth atnd of Blisha
(Ruth i, 10 17; Il, Kings £f, 2, 4,
(3, 0), and may our determined stand
be that of Paul in Phil, i 20; iii.
8-10. Vote David's submission and
recognition of God in this great trial
"Behold, here am 1, let ilirn do to
rue as seemeth good unto Him"
(verses 25, 26). Over the ?tame
brook Kidroe (verse 23; John xviii,
1) wont the son of David 'on the
night of the agony in Gethsemane and
the betrayal by Judas Iscariot, and
the faithful followers were very few,
From the same OIivet (verse 80) the
rejected Christ returned to His home
in heaven, and to the same Olivet
Hill IIe come again to overthrow
His enemies and establilth the prom-
ised kingdom with Jerusalem as a
center (Acts i, 11, 12; Zech, 'xiv, 4),
therefore lot us obey Isa. ixii, (3, 7.
David's going barefoot is suggestive
of his ackuowiedgenient that this
was all of God, and (io'1 must man-
age it, for it is Ifs affair. He
knows. how to perform His every
purpose, and it becomes us 'to put
off our shoes in His presence, as Ho
said to Moses and to Joshua (Ex.
if, 5; v. 15), We have conte to. a
place of great rest when, with true
humility and absolute confidence in
God, we can go day by 'day with
unshod feet, acknowledging that the
whole life and all its service, passive
or active, are of God,. He appointed
and prepared for us and eve leave
only to walk with flim in it, He
the author and finisher of all.
LOTS OF WORK AHEAD.
Surveying of the Empire Takes
Time to Accomplish.
"There are many parts of the Em-
pire of which there are no suitable
maps," Lieutenant-0eneral Sir W. G.
Nicholson informed the War Commis-
sion. "They have not even finished
the Ordinance Survey of the United
Kingdom, on which they have been
at work for the last 118 years, 1
wonder," added the witness, 'how
much they have spent on that ?"
The survey of the United Kingdom,
which is proceeding as briskly ,now
as it was over a century ago, is
costing the country I.C230,000 a year.
During the past decade the work has
involved a total expenditure of £2,-
300,000. The stat! comprises 347
officers and seen of the Royal En-
gineers, and 2,25.1 civil assistants
and labourers.
The uninitiated might be excused
for supposing that such an army of
workers would be equal to preparing
a reliable map of these islands in
something under a century. But in-
quiry in official quarters justifies the
assumption that they, or rather their
successors, will be still engaged in
tree undertaking another century
ihence,
The explanation ie that the larger
scale maps show such details as the
number of steps to a house, the po-
sition of fire plugs, and the arrauge-
i went of trees in fields and allot:
Imeats. Obviously these maps can
be rendered inaccurate and out-of-
date with utinost facility, necessitat-
, ing a resurvey and a recount of the
door -steps and the tires,

GETTING ON.
A lady on entering the kitchen ear-
ly one morning saw a plate and knife
and fork, the former of which had
evidently contained rabbit pie. The
lady strongly suspected a certain po-
liceman of having supped orf it, and
the following conversation took place
between her and the cook: •
Mistress—"Jane, what's become of
the cold rabbit pie that was left?"
Jane --"Oh, I didn't think it was
wanted, mum, so I gave it to the
dog."
Mistress (sarcastically)—"Does the
dog use a knife and fork, then?"
Jane (unabashed)—."Not very well
yet, mum; but I am teaching hien
