an influential and controlling vote on
Capitol hill at Washington and in the
English parliament, do you think that
the two rutfian and murderous nations
of the earth could have gone on until
this time with the butcheries in Ar
menia and Cuba? No. The Christian
nations would have gone forth with
bread and medicine and bandages and
military relief until Abdul Hamid
would have had no throne to sit on, and
Weyler, the commanding assassin in
Cuba, would have been thrust into a
prison as dark as that in which they

Another Coronation.
But as all of us will be denied attend
ance N that sixtieth anniversary coro-
nation | invite you not to the %anniver-
sary Of a coronation, but to a corona
ton ~itself-aye, to two co~ronations.
Brought up as we are, to love as no 9TH
er form of government that which is
republican and democratic, we, living
on this side of the sea, cannot SO easily
as those living on the other side of the
sea appreciate the two coronations to
which all up and down the Bible you
and I are urgently invited. Some of you
have such morbid ideas of religion that
you think of it as going down into a
dark cellar, or out Oh a barren COM
mon, or as a f~lagellation, when, SO far
from a dark cellar, it is a palace, and
instead of a barren common it is a
garden, atoss with the brightest foun-
tains that were ever rainbowed, and
instead of ~fagellation it is coronation,
but a coronation utterly eclipsing the
one whose sixtieth anniversary is now
being celebrated. 1t was a great day
when David, the little king who was
large enough to thrash Goliath, took
the crown at Rabbah-a crown weigh
ing a talent of gold and encircled with
prooinr1c ctOnoc- a,,l Tho ~oo,J1 1Lo-k
ed, Long live the king!" 1t was a
great day when Petrarch, surrounded
by II patrician youths clothed in scar
let, received from a senator the laurel
crown, and the people shouted, ''Long
live the poet!"
1t was a great day when Mark An
tony put upon Caesar the mightiest tiara
of all the earth, and in honor of divine
authority Caesar had it placed after
ward on the head of the statue of Jupiter
Olympus. 1t was a great day which the
greatest of Frenchmen took the diadem
of Charlemagne and put it on his own
brow. 1t was a great day when, about
an eighth of a mile from the gate of Je-
rusalem, under a sky pallid with thick
est darkness and on a mountain tram
meled of earthquake; and the air ON
fire with the blasphemies of a mob, a
crown of spikes was put upon the pal
lid and agonized brow of our Jesus.
But that particular coronation, amid
tears and blood and groans and SILVER
ing c~ataclysms, made your own corona
! tion possible. Paul was not a mar to
lose his equilibrium, but when that old
missionary, with crooked back and in
famed eyes, got a glimpse of the crown
coming to him, and coming to you, if
you will by repentance and faith accept
1T, he went into ecstasies, and his poor
eyes flashed and his crooked back
Strengthened as he cried to Timothy,
There is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness" and to the Corinthians,
"These athletes run to obtain a cor
ruptible, we an ~incorruptible, crown"
And to the Thessalonians he speaks of
1.-THE crow of glory" and to the Philip
plans he says, "My joy and crown"
The apostle Peter catches the inspira-
ton and cries out, "Ye shall receive a
crown of glory that fadeth not away"
and st. John joins i'll the rapture and
says, Faithful to death, and I will
give thee a crown of life, and else
where exclaims, "Hold fast that no
man take thy crown" Crowns, crowns,
crownsl You did not expect in coming
here today to be invited to a corona
ton. You can scarcely believe your own
ears, but in the name of a pardoning
God and a sacrificing Christ and an ON
nipotent Holy Spirit and a triumphant
heaven l offer each one a crown for the
asking. Crowns, crownsl How to get
the crown? The way Victoria got her
crown, on her knees. Although eight
duchesses and marquises, all in cloth of
silver, carried her train, and the win
dows and arches and roof of the abbey
shook with the "Te Deum'' of the organ
in full diapason, she had to kneel, she
had to come down. To get the crown of
pardon and eternal life, you will have
to kneel, you will have to come down.
Yea. History says that at her corona
