Subject A Xoit SavlourA Companion SOctere to ' Masterpiece Which Dr. ' 'Chmpman Suffjrests The Atrfulness of .XSlajBJ,r'Wiihont-;.Chrlti '.' tt&w.'& Rev.'J. Wilbur Chapmjuii). D., the popular pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, who is re Tt,rUMv mnrpgsfnl as an evangelist, has nretwred an. interesting sermon upon the Object A Lost Saviour.": It is preached from the text, "Th-y have taken a.vry my Xord." John 20 : 13. rlv ;:'";'' -. :;-.r .One of the masterpieces in the .Louvre, -presents to us a picture of Christ tipon the -cross. Hi heaji is upon His breast; un IerncatoHis arms the little birds are fly ing for a place of refuse, and in the deep--eiimjr shadows there is seen ; a woman To7inff with loving lips and hands pressed against His bleeding feet. Travel crs stand before this painting with tear-wet cheets and go away with burning hearts. If I were an artist I should paint a com paztion niece with this text , as the theme. TL would not put ; tears upon -her cheeks -who speaks the word because the flowing of tears would prove a relief. When we cannot weep our grief is severest, but I -would represent her with agony in her eves and deepest sorrow in every exprea- oa of her face. If I could I wouia paint, the toll as she cries out, "They have taken away my Lord.'- I have seen the distress of a mother bird when her little one was gone, the despair of the deer when its com--pamon was killed . , the agony of the wife rhn her husband was taken, the sorrow of a mother when her baby was dead, but -this text represents all these distresses put together, and we have a story which can xtot be expressed in worda. v The speaker is Mary Magdalene, one of the inhabitants of MagHala, she who was possessed ' of seven devils. She was the. dinner in ' the house of Simon,' the Phari ' ee who washed the Saviour's feet with Iter , tears, , anointed them with precious ointment and covered them with kisses. When Simon objects the Master rebukes "him Trith, the story of the two "debtors, one forgrren.much, of the other little. She Ttecamc one of the attendants of the Mas--ter. She followed Him from Calvary; to -Jernsalem to the scene of the crucifixion. "JEariy-the third after the crucifixion, ; with' -the wife of Uleophas. she goes to the eep--tikher to see .His body. She finds the tomb moty, and then cries. out in agon- "They ftzro taken, away my Lord." What a change, there is wrought in . Marv " Magda lene..; ?he has been a sinner of the worst ort. Tradition makes : her' a servant in -the house of sin in the place where she "lived, but she has become a saint, and wherever the gospel has been preached her ' try has been told. What' a Saviour we , ftave; One who calls out the best there is in ns always. Saul, of Tarsus, by nature is "bitter and cruel, but .he catches a vision of Christ and becomes gentle as a woman, de livering his message with tears of-real sor--row' because of the lost condition of the -urorld- Peter is an ignorant fisherman, but catches a vision of his Master and becomes one of the greatest preachers in the world's fustory. The thief on the cross is profane, ' and doubtless ' causes Christ a new pang of agony with his profanity. Until turning his liead he catches a vision of that blessed face and cries out, "Lord, remember me.'V !"' ' . I. '; , Kindred texts.

" ; Jiowever, pome oivus have lost our Bibles We . have lost it i be cause we have been absorbed by Action or, worldliness, or we have permitted some sin to lay hold upon us. . We have lost our Bible,' and if . ive nave our position is as Bad as Mary in the garden when she laid, "They have taken away my Lord." !t - Fourth, Lost Fellowship. Luke 2: 4245, "And when He was twelve years old they jventf up! to Jerusalem, after the custom of the feast,1 and when they had fulfilled the .days, as they returned; the child Jesu3 tarried behind in Jerusalem ; and Joseph and His mother knew not of it. But they, supposing Him to ' have been in the com pany, went, day's journey : and they sought Him among their, kinsfolk arid 'ac quaintances; And when -they found Him not they turned back again to m) crusalem, seeking- Him." . Mary and J oseph - hafve made a journey to the feast and they, are homeward bound. As thev move out from Jerusalem up toward Galilee, they are bu?y with the scenes about them, dpubtless con Versing with those who are traveling with them, when suddenly they begin to look about for the. child Jesus.. Where can He be? Every .search fails to Tlocate Him; Wearily they trudge back to 'Jerusalein, and there they find Him with the wise men! - Many of us have lost fellowship with our Saviour, s! Time was when ye Were close to Him, when we walked in sweetest communion with Him, but now we have been busy about other things and we have lost the old joy. Let us leant from the lesson of this morning that if we have missed, step with Him- we must go back to Jerusalem, or that is the place where we lost Him and begin over again the old life of peace and joy. God pity the man ho is crying out in his heart to-day if not with his; lips, "Theyl. have taken away my-Lord' y'- yyt-- Fifth, a Lost Saviour. Matthew 27 f 3-5 "Then Judas which had betrayed Him, when he saw that He , was condemned, re pented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed tne innocent blood. . Arid they said, What is that t6 us? See thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.'' You haVe seen a storm held, Hack by the force of tbo wind, when suddenly the wind ceased a$d the storm would break with all its fury. This was like Judas. I doubt not in fcll his following after J esus that again and again he was filled with the 'desire to be true to Christ," but the! time passes and he is false to .the appeal of his conscience, and suddenly the Master withdraws from him and all the storm of his awful spirit of be trayal breaks upon him, and Judas hangs himself. There are some, of us who have been resisting Christ, for this spirit has in fluenced us. We are persuaded of His di vine character. Some day His divine hold upon us may be broken.. It would, be an awful thing for us to have to say, "They have taken away my Lord." ' ' ' ' t ' rv ! II. -V-.'V: x:-: The text again. Let us now. think to gether especially ' of Christ's care. There are some texts very like it in the Bible, as for example. "Take not Thy holy spirit from me," Restore unto me the joy of Thy ; salvation' "Without God, without hope in the world," for only those can ap preciate Mary's position who have been in the same place with her; and the. most of us have been there, and there have been times without number when we felt that all was lost, that our position was hope; less. Notice first of all the weakness of Mary's faith. If she had but stopped to consider she would have remembered ' His word that He. must rise again. . 'If in the dark hour of trial we would pause for a mo ment to think of His messages we shall be delivered from this awful fear Oh, that God would strengthen our faith in the hour of trial. Notice also the strength of her love. Nothing could keep her away from Christ; 'the Jewish soldiers had no terror for her; she would see His body, fo she loved that. , There are certain things' that cause as to lose conscious fellowship with Christ. : ' . , First, physical weakness. Whenever the body is weak be sure, to watch and pray; for, the' devil will easily overthrow, us at this time. ' v-';-. -vi--;:;:v - Second, weakness of faith, but since faith is the gift of God it becomes weak' only because-of lack of exercise, and it is no necessary yiat any of us should fail be cause of this, "w Third, sin. "Blessed are ' the pure in heart, for they shall see God.'' It is not given to great minds alone to see Hira nor great hearts to feel His presence, but to pure hearts, and thisblessing is within tB reach of us all. :v ; 1 - r ' r There is a story written by Dr. Henry Van Dyke entitled The Lost Word." It gives an account of one Hennas, the son ox Demetrius, who became a Christian. , . Be-, cause of this his father, a man of large wealth, disinherited him.v; He becomes a disciple of John, and at last wearies of this r discipleship, and utterly discouraged he wanders back in the vicinity of his old home. There he meets a magician, who reads his fortune in a leaf, and finally promises if he will give him but one word out of his vocabulary that he r will restore him to the old joy that once was his: The promise is at last made, and suddenly Her nias is in his home again without the one' word, and the one word is the name of his Lord. He. finds his father dying and the old man welcomes his return and cries outy "My son, when you left me you,- found ' something that made: your life beautiful. Mine has been a failure; will you not tell me what I must do now, for I am to die?' and unconsciously the boy began, "Father,, you must believe in " and behold, the word had gone from him. He had parted with it, auu ue stanus suameiacea in, me pres ence pf his dying father. He marries a beautiful girl, and .Go'd gives him a lovely child. They are seated one day , in . the garden with their hearts .overflowing with' gratitude, when the wife suggests that they kneel down and express tceir thanks for all their treasures, and again he begins, "We thank thee, oh " :and f speech fails him, for '.he has sold his Lord' and he can not even recall His name." He is a compet itor in th. chariot races and wins the prize, but cares nothing for it,' because his heart is heavy. He takes his little son in the chariot with : him and whirls about the coursed - The horses become unmanageable and the child-fs thrown from the chariot and seriously injured, y Nearer dead than" alive he is carried back to the palace; and .the father kneels down by- his bedside. There is no hope - now except in prayer. He cries ut, 'Spare him, oh, spare him, . oh---" and there is no word to fill the place, for he has sold his Lord. Then sud denly -his old master, John, appears, and after tears of ; repentance he is restored " again to his priceless position. . Is this not an . illustration for many of us who have in an unguarded moment because of our love ior . tne worm anq our desire for power parted with Him who alone can satisfy the soul. It is an awful thing to be with out Christ. God save us from the cry of Mary, "They have taken away my Lord." ..
