a~ssemblage would rise to its feet if you
could realize it, the day in which Christ
shall, in fulfllment of my text, divide
the spoil. 1t was a great day when
Queen Victoria, in the midst of the
Crimean war, distributed medals to the
soldiers who had come home sick and
wounded, At the horse guards, in
presence of the royal family, the in
jured men were carried in or came on
crutches-Col. TrOwbridgc, who lost
both feet at ~InlSermann, and Capt.
Sayer, who had the ankle-joint of his
right leg shot off at Alma, and Capt.
Cure, his disabled limb supported by
a soldier, and other MANNED, and dis
figured, and eXhauSted-and with her
own hand the queen gave each the
Crimean medal. And What triumphant
days for those soldiers when, further
on, they received the French medal,
with the imperial eagle and the Turk
ish medal, with its representation of
four hags-France, Turkey, England
and Sardinia-and beneath it a map of
the Crimea spread over n gun wheel.
And what rewards are suggested to all
readers of history by mere mention of
the Waterloo medal, and the Cape
medal and the Gold Cross medal, and
the medals struck for bravery in our
American wars.
1t was a great day when Aurelian,
the Roman emperor, came back from
his victories. In the front of the pro-
cession were wild beasts from all lands,
LOGO gladiators richly clad, wagon
loads of crowns and trophies presented
by conquered cities; among the cap
tives Syrians, Egyptians, Goths, Van
dals, Sarmatians, Franks; and Zenobia,
the beautiful captive queen, on foot in
chains of gold that a slave had to help
her carry, and jewels under the weight
of which she almost tainted. And then
came the chariot of Aurelian, drawn
by -four elephants in gorgeous capari-
son, and followed by the Roman SEN
ate and the Roman army; and from
dawn till dark the procession was pass
ing. Rome in all her history never
saw anything more magnificent.
But how much greater the day when
our Conqueror, Jesus, shall ride under
the triumphal arches of Heaven; His
captives, not on foot, but in chariots,
all the kingdoms on earth and Heaveu
in procession; the armies celestial on
white horses. Rumbling artillery of
~thunderbolts never again to be unlim-
bered. Kingdoms in line, centuries in
line, saintly, cherubfc, seraphic, arch
angelic splendors in line; and Christ
seated on n great rolling lIo-
sauna, made out of all Halle
luiahs of all worlds, shall
cry halt to the procession. And not
forgetting even the humblest in all the
reach of His omniprescnce, He will
rise, and then and there, His work
done and His glory contaminated, pro-
coed, amid an ccstacy such as neither
mortal nor immortal ever imagined, to
divide the spoil.
