A GREAT SACRIFICE.
REV. DR. $TALMAGE ILLUSTRATES
THE ATONEMENT.
He Explains the Theory of vicarious Saaeri4
iflce--The Blood of hrlst--Cassa of Sub-
atitntiou--Lite for Life --Frequents*, of
•
Suffering for Others.
Welshington, March 21. --From many
conditions of life Dr. Talmage, in this
sermon, draws graphic illustrations of
one of the sublimest theories of religion
-namely, ,vicarious sacrifice. His text
was Hebrews ix, 22, "Without shedding
of blood is no remission."
John .G. Whittier, the last of the great
school of American poets that made the
last quarter of a century brilliant, asked
me in the White mountains, one morn-
ing after prayers, in which I bad given
out Cowper's famous hymn• about the
"fountain filled with. blood," a' Do you
really believe there is a literal application
of the blood of Christ to the soul?" My
negative reply then is my negative reply
now. The Bible statement agrees with
all physicians, and all physiologists, and
all scientists, in saying that the blood is
the life, and in the Christian religion it
means simply that Christie life was given
for our life. Hence all this talk of men
who say the Bible story of blood is leis -
gusting, and that they don't want what
they call a 'slaughter house religion"
only shows their incapacity or unwilling-
ness to look through the figure of speech
toward the thing signified. The blood
that, on the darkest Friday the worlel
ever saw, oozed or trickled or poured
from the brow, and the side,, and the
hands, and the feet of . the illustrious
sufferer, back of Jerusalem, in a few
hours coagulated and dried up and for-
ever disappeared, and if man had depend-
ed on the application of the literal blood
of Christ there would not have been a
soul saved for the last 18 centuries.
Voluntary Suffering.
In order to understand this red word
of my text we only have to exercise, as
much common sense in religion as we do
in everything else. Pang for pang, hun-
ger for hunger, fatigue for fatigue, tear
for 'tear, blood for blood, life for life, we
see every day illustrated. The act of sub-
stitution is no novelty, although I hear
men talk as though the idea of Christ's
suffering substituted for our suffering
were something abnormal, something
distressingly odd; something wilaly
eccentric, a solitary episode in the world's
history, when I could take you. out into
this city, and before sundown point you
to 500 cases of substitution and .volun-
tary suffering of one in behalf of another.
At 2 o'clock to-mor:rosy afternoon go
among the places of business or toil. It
will be no difficult thing for you to find
men who, by their looks, show you that
they are overworked. They are prema-
turely old. They are hastening rapidly
toward their decease. They have gone
through crises in business that shattered
their nervous system and pulled on the
brain. They have a shortness of breath
and a pain in the back of the head, and
at night an insomnia that alarms them.
Why are they drudging at business early
and late? -For fun? No; it would be
difficult to extract any amusement out
of that exhaustion. Because they are
avaricious? In many cases no. Because
their own personal expenses are lavish?
No; a few hundred dollars would meet
all their wants. The simple fact is the
man is enduring all that fatigue and ex-
asperation and wear and tear to keep his
home prosperous. There is an invisible
line reaching from that store, from that
bank, from that shop, from that scaffold-
ing, to a quiet scene a few blocks away,
a few miles away, and there is the secret
of that business endurance. He is simply
the champion of a homestead, for. which
he wins bread and wardrobe and . educa-
tion and prosperity, and in such battle
10,000 men fall,. Of ten business men
whom I bury, nine die of overwork for
others. Some sudden disease finds them
with no power of resjtance, and they are
gone. Life for life, blood for blood. Sub-
stitution!
At 1 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 thoaigh
uninhabited. A merciful God has sent
forth the archangel of{sleep, and he puts
his wings over the city. But yonder is a
clear light burning, and outside on the
window casement is a glass or pitcher .
containing food for a sick child. The
food is set in the fresh air. This is the
sixth night that mother has sat up with
'that sufferer. She has to the last point
obeyed the physician's prescription, 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 children
with the same disease, and she prays and
weeps,each prayer and sob ending with
a kiss of the pale cheek. By dint of kind-.
ncss she gets the little one through the
ordeal. After it is all over the mother is
taken down. Brain or nervous fever sets
in, and one day she leaves the convales-
cent child with a mother's blessing and
goes up to join the three in the kingdom
of heaven. Life for life. . Substitution !
The fact is that there are an uncounted
number of mothers who, after they have
navigated a large family of children
through all the diseases of infancy and
' got •them fairly started up the flowering
slope of boyhood and girlhood, have only
strength enough left to die. They fade
away. Some call it consumption, some
call it nervous prostration, some call it•
intermittent or malarial indisposition,
but I call it martyrdom of the, •domestic
circle. Life for life. Blood ;for blood.
Substitution ! • r
A Sacrificing Mother..'
Or perhaps the mother lingers long
enough to see a son get on the wrong
road, and his former kindness becomes
rough reply when she expresses anxiety
about him. But she goes right on, look-
ing carefully after his apparel, remember-
ing his every birthday with .some
memento,and, when he is brought home,
worn out with dissipation,nurses him till
he gets well and starteahlitreagain and
hopes and. expects and prays and counsels
and suffers until her- 'strength gives out
and she fails. She IS oing, ,and, attend-
ants, bending over er pillow and ask
her if -she has any me sage to leave, and
she makes great effo to say something,
but out of three oe fo minutes of in-
distinct ixtterance ey can catch but
three words, "My po

Cases of Heroism.
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
sink to be attended in these northern
latitudes? Oh, yes 1 But the doctor puts
a few medical books in his valise and
some visit of medicine and leaves his
patients here in the hands of other phy-
sicians
hysicians and takes the rail train- Before
he gets to the infected regions he .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 the- pulse and
studying symptoms and prescribing day
after day, night after night, until a fellow
physician says: "Doctor, you had ,better
go•home and rest. You look miserable."
But he cannot rest • while, so many are
suffering. On and on,, until some unicorns

stitution ! +
In the legal profession I see he same
principle of self sacrifice. In 181 William
Freeman, a pauperized and: idiotic negro,
was at Auburn, N. Y:, on' trial for rear -
der.
He had slain the entire Vtan rest
family. The foaming wrath of the epni-
munity could be kept off him, only, by
arrived constables. Who would olunteer
to be his counsel? No attorney wanted to
sacrifice his pbpularity by such an un-
grateful task. A 11 were silent, save one,
a young lawyer with feeble voice, that
could hardly be heard outside the 1kr,
pale and thin and awkward. It was Wil-
liain H, Seward, who saw that the pri-
soner was ' idiotic and irresponsible and
ought to be put -in an asylum rather than
put to death, the heroic counsel uttering
these beautiful words: -
"I speak now in the hearingf a l�lee-
ple who have prejtldiced the prisoner afnd
condemned me for pleading in his behalf.
He is a convict, a pauper, a negr` , with-
out intellect, sense or emotign. I1 e child,
with an affectionate smile, disarms ray
careworn face of its frown whenever I
cross. my threshold. The `beggar in the
street obliges me to give because he says,
`'God bless you!' as I pass. My .dog car-
esses me with fondness if I will b' it senile
on him. My horse recognizes atne when I
fill his manger. What reward,vha}t grati-
tude what sympathy and affection can I
expect herd There the prisoner sits. '
Look at him. Look at the assemblage
around you. Listen to their ill suppressed
censures and their excited fears ind tell
me where among .my neighborsor my
fellow men, where, even in ' his !leant I
can expect to find asentinient,a thougt,
nutl to say of reward or of ackn wlo g-
meitt, or even of recognition?; Gentlem n,
you may thing; of this evidence what you
please, bring in what verdict 'ou can,
but 1 asseverate , before heaven d you
that, to the best of my knowl a and
belief, the prisoner at the bar doels not' at
this moment know why it is that My
shadow falls on you instead of hi$ own."
The gallows 'got its victim, but the
post mortem examination ofit e peer
creature showed to all the Burg ons and
to all the world that the pubo was
wrong, that William H. ' Seward Was
right, and that hard, stony step i of oblo-
quy in the Auburn court -room ras the
first step of the stairs of fame p which
he went to the top, oir to within +one step
of the top, the last denied ± him ,through
the treachery of American politics. N cth-
ing sublimer was ever seen in an Ameri-
can court -room than William H. Sewa}rd,
without reward, standing between the
fury of the populace and ,the loathsome
imbecile. Substitution!
What Ruskin Did.
In the realm of the fine arts there was
as remarkable an instance. A !brilliant
but hypercritieised painter, Jo eph Wil-
liam limner, was met by a volley of
abuse from'all the art galleries o Europe.
His paintings, which have since won the
applause of all civilized ' nations -"Tho
Fifth Plague' of E )'t,''"1`' T isheimen on
a Lee 'Shore In ` Squally Weather,"
" Calais Pier," "The Sun,Rising+Throtigh
Mist" and "Dido Building Car.;;hage°'-e
were then targets for critics to shoot at.
In defense of this outrageously abused
•man, a young author of 24 years, ust
one years out of college, came fcjrth with
his pen and wrote the ablest and Most
famous essays on art that the world ,over
saw, or ever will see -John !Rusl;in'p
"1lfodern Painters." For 17 years this
author fought the battles of the Maltreat-
ed artist, and after, in poverty and brok-
en heartedness, the painter had died, and
the public tried to undo their cruelties
toward him by giving him a 'big fungi ral
and burial.in St. Paul's cathedra#1, his! old
time friend took out of 'a ;tin box 10,i000
pieces of paper containing drawings.' by
the old painter, and through many vreary
and uncompensated months asserted sand
arranged ]hem for ' public observation:'
People say John Ruskin in his I old days
is cross, misanthropic and morbid. W. at-
evei' he may do that he' ought not to do,
and whatever he may say that ,he ought
not to say between now and his death,
he will leave this world insolvent as ! far
as it has any capacity to pay this author's
pen for its chivalric and Christian defense
of a poor painter's pencil. Job7 Eno-dein
for William Turner. Blood or blood.
Substitution! '
What an exalting principle this wlhioh
leads one to suffer for another!. Nothing.
so kindles enthusiasm,' or awakens! elo-
quence, or chimes poetic canto, i or moves
nations. The principle is the domiinant
one in our religion --Christ, the martyr,
Christ the celestial hero, � Chrlsthe de-
fender, Christ the su`bstibate,, ! No new
principle, for it was as old as human'
nati}re, but now on a graiad'er, wider,
higher, deeper and more world ; resoiwd-
ing scale. The shepherd boy at a cham-
pion for Israel with a sling toppled the
giant of. Philistine braggadocio in:I the
dust, but here is another David, who, for
all the armies of churches militant f and
triumphant, hurls the Goliath la p rdi-
tion into defeat, the crash of his brazen
armor bike an explosion at ' Hell Gate.
Abraham had at God's command agreed
to sacrifice his son Isaac, and , the same
God just in time had provided aram of
the thicket as a substitute, but here is
another Isaac I1Qund to the altre'r, a}na_ no
nano ari i UM sharp gclges'or Doorman
and death, and the universe shivers and
quakes and reooile and groan" at the . hor-
ror.
Allgood men have for centuries! been
trying bp tell who this substitute, was
like, and every c onaiiarison, inspired and
uninspired, ` evangelistic, prophetic,
apostolic and human, falls short, for
Christ was the Great Unlike. Adam a
type of Christ because he came directly
from God, Noah a type of Christ because
he delivered his own family from the
deluge, Melchisedec a, type of Christ he-
m -dee he had no predecessor or successor,
Joseph a type of Christ because he was
cast out by his brethren, Moses a type of
Christ because he was a deliverer from
bondage, Samson a type of Christ because
of his strength to slay the lions and carry
off the iron gates of impossibility, Solo-
mon a type of Christ in the affluence of
his dominion,, Jonah a type of Christ
because of the stormy sea - in which he
threw himself for the rescue of. others,
but put 'together .Adam and Noah and
Melchiaedeo and Joseph and Moses and
Joshua and Senason and Solomon and
Jonah, and they would. not make a frag-
ment of a Christ, the half .di a Christ or
the millionth part of a Christ.
What Christ Did.
He forsook a throne and sat down on
his own footstool. He came from • the top
of glory to the bottom of humiliation and
changed a circumference seraphic or a
circumference diabolic, Once waited on
by angels, now hissed at by brigands.
From afar and high up he came down;
past meteors swifter than they; by starry
thrones, himself more lustrous; past
larger worlds to smaller Worlds; down
stairs of firmaments, and from cloud to
cloud, and through tree ' tops and into
the camel's stall, to thrust his shoulders
under our burdens and take the lances of
pain through his vitals, and wrapped
himself in all the agonies which we de -
sere for our misdoings, and stood on the
splitting decks of a foundering vessel
amid the drenching surf of the sea, and
passed midnights on the mountains
amid wild beasts of prey, and stood at
the point where all earthly and infernal
hostilities charged on him at once with
their keen sabers -our substitute!
When did attorney . ever endure so
much for a pauper client,or physician for
