be God, we nave champion! T1o 10
so styled in the Bible. A Champion
who has conquered death and iceland
he is ready to fight all our battles from
the first to the last. "Who is this
that cometh from Edom with dyed
garments from Bozrah, mighty 10
save?" If we follow in the wake OF
that Champion death has no power
and the grave no victory. The worst
man trusting in him shall have his
dying pangs alleviated and his future
illumined.
In the light of this subject want TO
call your attention to a fact which
may not have been rightly conslcereu
by five men in all the world, ana that
is the fact that we must be brought
into judgment for the employment OF
our physical organism. Shoulder
BRAIN hand, foot--we must answer III
judgment for the use we have maze
of them. Have they been used for
the elevation Of society or for its de-
preston? In proportion as our arm
Is strong and our step elastic Will o'r
account at last be intensified Thou
sands of sermons are preached 10 m
valds. preach this morning to stout
men and healthful women. we must
give God an account for the right Use
of this physical organism.
The day approaches, and | see one
who in this world was an invalid ana
as she stands before the throne OF ('ou
to answer she says, II was sick all my
days. | had but very little strength
but l did as we'll as | could in being
kind to those who were more SICK ana
more suffering" And Christ will say
well done, faithful servant"
And then a little child will stand
before the throne, and she will say
con earth l had a curvature of the
spine, and | was very weak, and was
very sick; but l used to gather flowers
out Of the wildwood and bring them
to my sick mother, and she was com
forted when she saw the sweet flowers
out of the wildwood. | didn't do
much, but l did something" And
Christ shall say as he takes her up in
his arms and kisses her, well done,
we'll done, faithful servant; enter thou
into the joy of thy Lord" What, tn IN,
will be said to us-we to whom the
Lord gave physical strength and con-
tinuous health?
said to an old Scotch minister who
was one of the best friends l ever had
Doctor, did you ever know Robert
Pollock, the Scotch poet, who wrote
The Course of Time?'" ooh, yes,
he replied, II knew him WE'LL I was
his classmate." And then the doctor
went on to tell me how that the writ
ing of THE Course of Time" exhaust
ed the health of Robert Pollock, and
he expired. 1t seems as if no man
could have such glimpse Of the day
for which other days were made as
Robert Pollock had, and long survive
that glimpse. In the description OF
that day he says, among other things.
Begin the woe, we woods, and tell it &c
the doleful winds,
Anu uUlelul WlnuS wall " lue uOWlluS
hills.
And bowling hills mourn to the dis.
NAL wales,
And dismal wales sigh to the sorrow
ing brooks,
And sorrowing brooks weep to the
weeping stream,
And weeping stream awake the groan-
ing deep;
Ye heavens, great archway of the uni
verse, put sackcloth on;
And ocean, robe thyself in garb CT
widowhood
And gather all thy waves into groan,
and utter it,
Long, loud, deep, piercing dolorous,
immense.
The occasion asks it, Nature dies, and
angels come to lay her in her
grave.
What Robert Pollock saw in proph-
etc dream, you and l will see in pos
tive reality-the Judgment the judg-
ment!
