preached TO a great throng from the |
text: ''Fhe people that do know their |
God shall be strong and do exploits |
Daniel, il 50. He said:
Antiochus EpiPhanes, the old sinner, /
came down three times with his army |
to desolate the Tsraelites, advancing |
one time with IO2 trained elephants,
swinging their trunks this way and
that, and G., 600 infantry and 6, 600 cav
airy troops and they were driven back
Then, the second time, he advanced /
with 20, 0G0 armed men and had been !
again defeated But the third time he
laid successful siege until the navy of !
Rome came in with the fash of their ]
long banks Of oars and demanded that
the siege be lifted And AntiOchus
EPiphanes said he wanted time TO con-
suit with his friends about il, and PO-
piltuss one of the Roman ambassadors,
took q -staG and made circle on the
ground around Antiochus Epiphanes,
and compelled him TO decide before he
came out OF that circle; whercuPon he
lifted the siege. Some of the Hebrews
had submitted to the invader, but some
'of them resisted vaIOrously, as did
Eleazer when he had swine's flesh
forced into his mouth, spit it ont, al
though he knew he must die for it, and
did die for it; and others, as my text
says, did exploits.
An exploit would define to be a he

had an Antiochus Epiphanes to fight, 1
also could do exploits" You are right
So far as great wars are concerned
There Will probably be no opportunity
to distinguish yourself in battle. The
most of the rigadier-generals of this
country would never have been heard
ofhad it not been for the war.
Neither will you probably become
great inventor. Nineteen hundred and
ninsty-nine out of every two thousand
inventions found in the patent Office at
Washington never yielded their authors
enough money to pay for the expenses
of securing the patent. So you viii
probably never be a Morse or an Edi-
son or a Humphrey Davy or an Eli
Whitney. There is not much probabil-
ity that you Will be the one out of the
hundred who achieve extraordinary
success in commercial or legal or medi-
cal or literary spheres. What then?
Can you have no opportunity TO do eN-
ploits? 1 am going to show that there
are three opportunities open that are
grand, thrilling, far-reaching, stipend
Gus and overwhelming. They are be-
fore you now. In one, if not all three
of them, you may do exploits. The
three greatest things on earth to do are
to save a man, or save a woman, or save
a child. During the course of his life
o almost every man gets into an exigeney,
. is caught between two fires, is ground
between two mijlstones, sits on the
edge of some precipicc, or in some other
way comes near demolition. 1t may be
a financial, or a moral, or a domestic,
or a social, or a political eNigency.
You sometimes see it IN court rooms
A young man has got into bad company
nd Ha n offended the law and he Is
arraigned. All biushing and confused,
he is in the presence of judge and jury
and lawyers He can be sent right OF
in the wrong direction He is feeling
disgraced, and he Is almost desperate.
Let the district attorney overhaul him
as though he were an old offender; Les
the ablest attorneys at the bar refuse
to say IA word for him, because he can
not afford a considerable fees let the
judge give no opportunity for present
ing the mitigating circumstances, hurry
mp the ease, and hustle him up to Au
years, for seventy years he will be Z
criminal, and each decade of his life
will be blaclIer than its predecessor.
Why doesn't his father come and helT
himP His father is dead. Why dcesn't

and saiutary influences of society

some one long ago in the case under
stand there was an opportunity for tbs
exploit which would be famous II
Heaven quarter of a million year
after earth has become scattered ashe,
in the last whirlwind2 Why did no
the district attorney take that young
man into his private office and say
MY son, see that You are the victim
Of circumstances. This is yoRr frs
crime. You are sorry. viii bring th'
person you wronged into your presenc'
and you will apologize and make al
the reparation You can and I will give
you another chance"
Or that young man is presented II
the court room and he has no friendl
present and the judge says: 'Who
your counsef?" And he answers; ''
have none" And the judge says
''Who viii take this young mans case p
And there is a dead halt and no one OF
9ers. and after a while the judge turn
20 some attorney who never had a gOoC
case 10 all his life, and never viii, ans
, whose advocacy would be enough tC
secure the condemnation Of innocence
itself And the professional incompe
tent crawls up beside the prisoner
hslplessness TO rescue despair, when
there ought TO be a struggle among all
the best men of the profession as tC
who should have the honor Of trying K
help that unfortunate.
