Ford at Southside-st.louis 02 the Cross — Stan Ford

I think every time I visit your country, it's not long before someone says to me, Mr. Porter, what's the difference between America and England? Well, I'll tell you one difference. We're a bit smaller.

Well, I'll tell you what, we really are. But, of course, there are a number of things that always strike me. For instance, November the 11th. Some years ago, I found myself down in Williamsboro. I think it might have been the last time I was here with you, 11 years ago.

I'm not quite sure. But I found myself in Williamsboro over the 11th of November, and I suppose being an Englishman, they asked if I would speak at the United, call it the Armistice Day service, which was what I regularly attended.

It was held in one of the large chapels there. And I went along prepared to speak at the British Armistice Day service. I found out I was the only one with a black tie. And I found out that there was one vast difference, that the 11th of November with you is a celebration of victory, and with us it's a mourning for the dead.

I found out that when I arrived at the church, there was being a procession through the streets, led by girls with almost no clothes on, and sticks thrown in the air, and all sorts of queer things. And I thought of our 11th of November.

You know, if you were in England on the 11th of November, and you were strange to what was happening, I'm sure there are a number of questions you would ask. You would stand by the side of the road, and you would see marching to the cenotaph from hamlets and villages and towns a contingent of men, the high-muscled drunk, but right in the front their number gets smaller and smaller and smaller every year.

Right in the front of the marching folk to the cenotaph, you would see a company of old people, some on sticks, some even being pushed there now in their chairs. And you would say as you looked at them, the great rows of ribbons across their chest.

Who are they? Who are they that they shall need the muscled drums, that they shall need the marching bands, that they shall need the contingent of hundreds of men who at the first and last war have fought?

Who are they? You would say, well, you see on them behind the story, we'll remember, it was the First World War, and they've crossed that little stretch of water that we know as the English Channel, they've crossed that stretch of water, a contingent of men.

When Kaiser heard that they'd crossed the water, with a sneer upon his lips, he turned to his generals and said, keep to those contemptible armies, contemptible armies. You ask me who they are? They're all contemptible.

For a name of shame in my country has become a name of shame. A name that was used in religion, is a name that makes the great man have his blood run faster in his veins, and desires even old folk to stand upright and march behind the drums.

For picturesque contemptible armies has become the old contemptibles of our land. Gone back through the years, and in the day of the Lord Jesus, We will hear someone speak of the cross. We will have seen straw men and flying women shot.

For the Bible has said, crafty is everyone that hangeth upon a tree. If there was a means of death that made men shudder, it was crucifixion. If there was a means of death that made men scream, it was crucifixion.

But a name of shame has become a name of shame, which made men and women, and all the girls, fear and grief. For justice might in my land, a name of shame, has become a name of shame. So the word of God, a name of shame.

For justice is everyone that hangeth upon a tree, has become a name of shame. That which above all else I would glory in. We have a lovely old hymn in the Redemption Hymn book that we sometimes sing. And others.

The Christ of the Cross and the Attitudes of Those Around Him

For the Christ of the Cross is mighty. And I want to talk about men's attitude, but mostly, to the Christ of the Cross. And so I'm going to read from two portions of the word of God. Again, let me repeat, if you have your Bible and care to turn with me, please do so.

Or you may have your Bible, and yet look much rather than I just read the scripture to you. Feel quite at liberty, please, just to listen, or to turn, whatever you wish. I'm going to read if I may from the 19th of John, and then we will read from the 15th of Mark.

The 19th of John, I'm sorry, verse 23. And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts to every soldier of power, to his coat. Now the coat was without seam woven from the top to end.

They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be, that it might be fulfilled. Which they are. They parted, my ravens, among them. And for my vestures they did cast lots.

Verse 28. After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I first ever set a vessel full of vinegar, and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon this side, and put it to his mouth.

And when Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished. He bowed his head and gave up the guts. The Jews, therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, for that Sabbath day was a high day, they thought, Pilate, that their legs might be broken, that they might be taken away.

Then came the soldiers and broke the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already broken off his legs. Then the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came the light, blood, and water.

And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true, and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye. I want to turn over to the fifteenth chapter of Mark, if I may be permitted, please. In the fifteenth chapter of Mark, and I want to read, if I may, just one verse.

Verse thirty-nine. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he sowed by night and gave up the ghosts, he said, Truly the Son of God, the Son of God. Now may the Lord just add his blessing to the reading of his own precious word.

I wonder if you would join me, please, in a word of prayer, before we just consider the message together this evening. Here we all pray. O God and Father, our hearts are strangely moved within us when we think of one who has taken the best things of this world to confound the things that are wise, and the weak things to confound the things that are mighty.

We thank Thee for the one that's taken a name of shame and made it a name of faith. We bless Thee that one that has taken death and through it brought to men and women life. The one that entered into darkness, that we might receive light.

The one who was rejected, that we might be accepted. Tonight, as we think a little more of him, may it please Thee to speak to our hearts for his namesake. You will have noticed this evening that in the portion of The Bride of God on which we read in the nineteenth chapter of John, and in the portion from which we read in the fifteenth chapter of Mark, the writers were very careful to tell us the story not just of the Christ who hung upon a cross, but of the soldiers that ensnared that cross.

And of your permission tonight, and I trust in some measure with the help of God, I want to talk with you about the people that encircled the cross. There's a little ego-spiritual that you sing over here so often, question as you know, a very plaintive question.

Were you there when they crucified my Lord? May I repeat that? Were you there? Or how many times have you heard it sung, were you there when they crucified my Lord? And I have little doubt that many of you in this service would say, but what do you mean, Mr. Preacher, was I there?

Was that my spittle that was mingled with the spittle that ran down his face? It was not my lips that claimed words of ridicule, that hurled them at him, that was clenched to spite him? Was I there? Don't let us argue tonight about terms.

I think every one of us, if we're honest, know what I mean. You know as well as I know that those that encircled the cross, whoever they may have been, are those that in some measure represent every one of us here.

And there I can spoke of the high priest, I'm not going to. And there I can spoke indeed of other religious leaders that were there at the cross, I'm not going to. And there I can spoke of the very women, of the women who sat at the foot of the cross, I'm not going to.

Callous Soldiers Under the Shadow of the Cross

But I'm going to take three classes of soldiers that were there at the cross, and as we think of these soldiers, I wonder if I may ask you, sir, would you think of me, please? Or would you think of me, please?

Into which of categories do you? Just as I think of those soldiers, the bad part of soldier, it seems to me, I would say are callous people. There are soldiers who are callous people. There's nothing of anything more callous than this.

But there under the very shadow of the death of the Lord Jesus, and there was one who died with a crown of thorns on his brow, and nails on his hands and feet, there under the very shadow of the cross, there were men that took their dogs and sat down and gathered.

Callous enough that they stood there, callous enough that they spoke to one another as he died. But can you think of anything more, sir? And under the very shadow of the cross, they should take their dogs and gather.

But then I think you will grasp me, that as we think of the story of the cross, there are not only callous people there, but you think of a word stronger. And can you understand what I mean? You'll know the burden of my heart, that there were not only callous people there, but there were men.

What would you tell me is the most contemptible thing a person can do? What would you think is the most contemptible thing a person can do? Would you agree with me in this? The most contemptible thing anyone can do is to desecrate the dead body of a person.

And when there are men and women that will do all sorts of things for living folk, think lower than this. If someone is dead, he will take his knife and desecrate that body. Do you remember what we read?

Those soldiers came, they came to break the legs of those that were on the cross, and they came to the two thieves and broke their legs to hasten their death. But when they came to Jesus, this is what we read, they saw that he was dead, took his spirit, was dead already.

Can anything be more contemptible? Praise God! But as I look at the stories we have read, I read the story of talisman, I read the story of contemptible men, but oh, praise God! What a story! Did we not read in that wonderful 15th chapter, when the centurion, it's hard that he spoke like that, he said, Moses said, Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the cross, is born of God.

The Savior himself, when he looked into the face of a man born blind, whose face he had restored to him, said to the man, Believest thou on the Son of God? Here was one who surely believed. Sir or madam, very courteously I trust, for above all else I would be courteous.

Very courteously. Into which of these three groups do you differ? Please, I want to keep very near the Scripture. Look, I have but one desire in being with you, maybe two desires. I have the first desire that I might introduce you to Jesus Christ, my Savior.

That's my first desire. But my second desire is this, that I might teach the Word of God to you. I'm not concerned with anything else. I'm concerned with what men think or men say. I'm concerned with what the Bible says.

And so I want to keep very near the Word of God. Now look at this story. I don't say to myself, Here are men who were so callous that under the very shadow of the cross they would take their dice and toss them.

I say to myself, but what? Why do men, why do men become so callous as this? Why are women so callous as this? For sir, please, I believe their sons and daughters are still alive today. I believe there are men and women equally as callous today.

The World’s Possessions and the Love of Wealth

But no, my Bible leaves me in no doubt. My Bible tells me there were three reasons that these people were callous. First of all, they wanted the world's possession. There would be that. They wanted the world's possession.

Do the Lord Jesus have very little of this world's good? There are questions to be answered and I know not the answer to them. You have every right to come to me and say that if Judas was born of no estate in a manger, if his mother, when she offered the sacrifice for the purification of herself, after she'd given birth to a child, could only offer her two pigeons, two doves, before some sacrifices.

What happened to the gold and frankincense and myrrh that the wise men bought? Was it worth something in the markets of men? And myrrh is one of the most precious of things? And frankincense? Why, it was worth very, very much.

What happened to the gold and frankincense and myrrh? If she could only offer her pigeons for the purification of herself after the birth of her child. And I don't know what happened to the gold and frankincense and myrrh.

I only remind you, of course, that despite what is popular opinion or popular tradition, I only remind you that the Bible tells us that those wise men did not come at Christmas time. They did not come to a stable.

It says they came to a house. They did not come to a baby. It says when they saw the young child. After the order of ordinary men, the gold and frankincense and myrrh would have been given long after the eight-day period which was necessary before she went to offer her sacrifice for her purity.

And I only know that immediately after the wise men presented their gold and frankincense and myrrh, that Joseph and Mary took the young child and fled for two years into Egypt. Maybe it was God's provision for them.

While they were down in Egypt, the Bible doesn't tell me. I don't know. But this I do know. That as Jesus walked in and out amongst men and women, He bore our sins. Our grief. When men knew suffering, Christ knew suffering.

When men left, Christ worked. When men was misunderstood, Christ was misunderstood. All while men died, Christ died. He bore our grief. He carried our sorrows. But there was one thing that saw Him coming.

There was one thing that Jesus did have at the end of His journey. It was the only thing. During His life, the Bible could say the foxes and bulls and the frogs of the air had their nests. But the Son of Man had nowhere to lay His head, but it was one thing He had.

At the end of His journey, He possessed one thing that was useful in the markets of man. It was a garment. It was woven from top to bottom. It was woven throughout the Scriptures, and without a seam. It was a garment that was worth money in the markets of man.

It was the only thing that He had that was worth money. The soldiers stripped Him and upon His shoulders they placed a robe of mud. Then they went and put it on His garments and they divided it one to another.

But when they came to His house of garments, they said, We won't wear it. We won't care. It's worth too much. We'll toss dice for it. And there were men and women who wanted the Lord's possessions. They wanted a fine garment.

They wanted something that could be sold for money. And they turned their eyes away from that garment. Calvary is not so old-fashioned, huh? It's not just a story of 2 ,000 years ago. Well, let's be honest.

If there was one thing above all else that turned men's eyes away from Christ, it's the love of the world's possessions. We sing sometimes, Time for pleasure, time for business. That's a place that comes to mind, not a place that He could enter in the heart for which He died.

And there are men and women today who are so occupied with making wealth, so occupied with providing good things for themselves, so occupied with this world's goals, they take their eyes away. Could someone say something very trust?

Just two weeks ago, in his life, I heard a dear brother referring to some people that lived in the very district in which he lived. And this is what he said. Our good friend Mr. Brown, some of you know him.

Good friend Mr. Brown, there in North Atlanta Bible Chapel. Speaking of support from the doctors at him, he said, do you know something? They've got a $90 ,000 home, $90 ,000 house, and a 10-cent home.

Oh, I thought that was very true. But God so occupied with His world's goals, that the great treasures of God, the great promises of Canaan, the great glories of salvation, they took off. They took away from the greatest seed of God's love that mortal man ever based upon.

But they wanted the world's possessions. And by the way, plenty of people in the Bible like that. Remember the 10th of Mark? The Bible said he was rich. The Bible said he was young. The Bible said he was a ruler.

I say to you, young folk, what is it you want in life? Do you say to yourself, I know what I'd like in life. Well, you have it. Most folk that get wealth, not everyone, I argue, but most folk that get wealth, they get it when they reach an age that they can't endure it.

For they want to have it in their life, and when eventually they've got it, then they've got to start spending it out. Don't they? All right then. They got the world, but they can't be engaged. He was rich, and he was young.

There are people who think the only thing that matters in life is to get wealth. The thing that matters in life is that you have health and strength. You have all that. There are people who think the thing that matters in life is to have power.

So if only I could say that this man is only a hero, and that man's comedy is hot. Why, that's life! What did the young man have? A ruler. Jesus looked at him, and the young man ran and frowned his face before the Lord and said, Good Lord, what must I do?

Oh, good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life? How ignorant people can become, can't they? You know, they can have the greatest education that their rulers. They can have the greatest wealth that their rich.

They can have the greatest health that their young. I've been so ignorant of the simplest things in life. Master, what must I do to inherit? You don't do anything to inherit to get into families. I haven't got anything, but just a little bungalow that's, you know, head over heels with a mortgage.

Just a day to borrow the little bit I have got. My children would get, not because they've done anything, but because they're my children. A family. And listen, in a Jewish family, that's stronger than an agenda.

Under the law of Moses, you couldn't even sell your inheritance. You had to leave it. Do you remember the story of Naboth? You had to move it to your farms. And the young man, the ruler, he hadn't learned the simplest things.

What must I do to inherit? He hadn't learned that if you want to inherit, you better get in the family. You better be born again. And Jesus looked at him and spoke to him about the law, and he said, I deserve these things for my youth.

And Jesus, looking on him, loved him and said, One thing thou lackest. Don't sell whatsoever thou hast. Give to the plant, take up the crop. And he went to pray. He grieved at that saying, for it was written to take away from the very question.

He put his finger on corpse than he had before the God. And he said, Get rid of that corpse. And he went away praying. How fine had I asked. See around the cross were those that tossed their dice because you want the world's possessions.

You've never trusted Jesus Christ because you know that Christ will make a claim on your life. And he will. He will. Never, never, never subscribe to this modern sort of preaching that says, Trust Jesus and everything in the garden will be lovely.

Trusting Jesus Christ meant that you would lose everything you've got down here. You still ought to trust him. Not only for your own good, but for the glory of God. You still ought to trust him. I can't speak for you.

I only know as far as I'm concerned. But trusting Jesus Christ cost me my livelihood. It cost me the way I earn my bread and butter. It cost me almost everything I had. I look around and I see some Christians playing with the world.

My heart moves. See how I earn my bread and butter and I live when I trusted the Saviour. And can I tell you this? I thank God that ever I trusted him. Bless God that ever I said yes to him. Let her turn your eyes upon a Christ of the cross and live!

Let her have the world's possessions and perish. For what so impressive a man has he done the whole world? Lose his own soul. But there was another reason, it seems, that they turned their eyes away from Christ.

The World’s Pleasures and the Gamble Against God

Not only because they wanted the world's possessions, but are you listening? Because they wanted the world's pleasures. Oh, they were tossing their debts. Catch them gambling. The Christian church will give to no one of this.

The Christian church will give to no one of this. The reason they know all is before someone can win someone has to lose. That's what gambling's all about. Something wins. Catch them all. Christian church will give to no one of this.

Do you know the first gambler in the Bible? They called his name Adam. God says that where you eat thereof you'll surely die. And old Adam took a chance with God. He said, I'm a gambler. See what it's like.

And he did what God said he mustn't do. He took a chance with God. But listen, he lost. He lost. But the tragedy is this, that he became the father of a great family of gamblers. And right down through the agony of poverty you can see them.

Men and women that took a chance with God. His head's towards Sodom and Gomorrah. That's bad enough, isn't it? Long before he got into Sodom and Gomorrah. Listen, you young folk. It wasn't long before Sodom and Gomorrah got into him.

He took a chance with God. And he lost. He lost his wife. And his son-in-law and his grandchildren. He lost his name and he lost his character. He almost lost his life. And if it wasn't for a verse in the New Testament I would have told you he'd lost his soul as well.

But the New Testament tells me how, so I mustn't say it. But it's only the mercy of God that enables me to say that he loses his soul. He took a chance with God. Oh friend, don't take a chance with God.

These people tossed their dice. There they couldn't turn their eyes upon the Christ. The greatest sin of God's love. The greatest manifestation of God's mercy. And the world's treasures took their eyes off it.

And the world's possessions. I believe this. I don't know how far you would go with me in this. But I believe this, sir. I believe that if sin has slain its peasants, pleasure has slain its captives. Not that there was anything wrong with pleasure.

Except that it is. That it takes our eyes. There was one other thing. Look at it. Callous because they wanted the world's possessions. Callous because they wanted the world's popularity. I'm sorry, the world's pleasures.

The World’s Popularity and Fear of Human Ridicule

Callous because they wanted the world's popularity. This is what we read. These things the soldiers did. These things the soldiers did. We're all thieves. The soldiers did. Any of you men are familiar with tossing dice.

You know this, don't you? That you don't have two people toss dice at the same time, do you? A man that tosses his dice. A man that tosses his dice. That these things the soldiers did. It's not the Bible telling us this.

But there they gathered around that garden. There they took their dice. There they began to toss them. And maybe one of them began to turn his head upon the one on the cross. And the other one said,. Because they wanted the world's popularity.

There wasn't one of them prepared to turn and say, I'd rather speak to men than anyone else. Thousands of men said, Christ, because they're frightened of what their neighbors will say. Frightened of what the man who works on the bench by their side will say.

Frightened, indeed, of what the man that works in the office will say. Frightened of what the fellow in the school will say. It isn't. Oh, no, please, please. It's not that they wouldn't try. It's just that they're not prepared to face the ridicule of their friends.

He wanted the world's popularity. He wanted to go with the rest. He wanted to be kind with the others. And they turned his eyes from Christ. Oh, friend, we used to sing an old hymn in the Sancti movie hymn book.

We don't sing it very often today, but let me quote it to you. My old companion, fare thee well. I'll go with thee to hell. Tell us, men. I say, contemptible men? No, no, I don't believe there are any of them here.

I don't believe such a person would be here. But you know, and I know, that there are such persons today. Do you think of anything more contemptible than one who carved a diamond sphere into the side of one that was dead already?

I wonder why he did it. Now, I don't know. The Bible doesn't tell me. It tells me he did it. So can you tell me why? He didn't do it to hate. He was dead. He was dead already. He knew he was dead. The Bible says he was dead.

Why did he do it? You may think this is imagination and a kid, and I may be wrong. I don't think I am, but I may be wrong. No one has told me anything. History has told me this. That if there were a people, if there are a people that are hated, it was and is the Jewish people.

At the time of the Romans, you may read Josephus, the Jewish historian. You may be one of the profound historians, and you know this is true. You young folks still in high school that are doing something to that history, you know.

But if the Romans conquered a people that were continually a thorn in their flesh, that people were the Jews. You may look at the Roman Empire in your own eyes. You may trace it as you know there have been three Roman Empires.

You may trace it into whatever area it went, even when they came over and conquered their own. And those who lived in that land were not a thorn in the flesh of the Romans. Anywhere near as much. And he was a soldier.

He was there to put down the Jews. He was there to keep them under his hand. He was there to prove the power of Rome. Can I imagine? Did the man have a wealth away in Rome? Was he separated from his family and his love?

He brought with so many a hand, and he brought with a handful of people. Because there were Jews who were to marry man under the hand of Rome, he had the people separated from all that he cherished and loved.

He certainly looked at a cross and read, The King of the Jews. He could read it. You see it was written in Latin. It was written in the language of religion. He could read it. He could read it. And did he that day look at the Christ inside you?

The King of the Jews. Oh, the King of the Jews. Because someone else had done him evil, he took it out on Christ. Because someone else had done him evil, he took it out on Christ. And I can't think of anything more contemptible than that.

And yet I see that every day of my life. I see that every day of my life. You ask the person concerning the claims of the Saviour. You ask them if they will trust the Lord. And do you know what many of them will say?

They'll look at you and say, Did me become a Christian? I am a man who calls himself a Christian. Because someone else has done something evil, they take it out on Christ. May I use a silly illustration that I may have used the last time I was with you.

I don't know. If I didn't, forgive me. I shouldn't. There was just a wee little cat. She used to think she could play the piano. Now she was the only one, because we'd never had a piano. But if she could get into a house where there was a piano, my little girl used to sit down at the piano and play, play, play, play, play.

What would you have thought? If one day I found myself in a home where there was a piano, and my little girl sat down at the piano, and I noticed that there on the piano was a piece of music written by Mr.

Who wrote music? Patereski. Patereski. Well, did he write music? Oh, that wasn't how he had it yet. I'm sorry I'm too late. Mr. Chauvin. How about that? Where are you, thief? A piece of music written by Mr. Chauvin.

And I took it and I put it in front of my little girl and said, Janet, would you play that for me, please? You know, she would have looked at it as though she was Patereski. And she would have said, yes, Janet.

I'll play it for you. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Now, in the name of... Would I have the right to turn to my wife and say, did you hear that, Nick? Chauvin could write music. The jolly fellow can't write a thing.

Bang, bang, bang, bang. Would I have the right to judge Mr. Chauvin's music by my little girl's banging on the piano? Neither have you the right to judge my saviour by someone else sitting down to heaven in music and sometimes making this for her, but at least trying.

Aren't you touched twice by what someone else has done? And that soldier looked and read the King of the Jews. And because someone else had done him ill, he took an old old tusk, grabbed an old old tusk he'd just done me.

So what on earth has done you to make me do it? Someone else, who calls himself a Christian, must die. Forgive me, because I'm going to say it for you. Don't forgive me. How contemptible. How contemptible.

I've left God. No one will hold me. A contemptible man there, but hallelujah, there was a converted man. No, no, he didn't look at the dice. No, no, he didn't look at the diamonds. No, no, he didn't look even at the faces of his friends.

The Centurion’s Confession of Christ

When he saw he so cried out, he looked at Christ. Look at him and see in him that which represents in all the kings that he owns. He looked at him and saw him in his agony and heard him in his terror.

It does, doesn't it? It poses a tremendous question, doesn't it? Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Whatever he's doing there, he's dying. Whatever it is, he's dying. I said the other night, as many of you know, it is my joy.

I spend, I suppose, three months of every year among undergraduates in Cambridge. And over the course of the year, if there are questions that are asked, and so many of them are so difficult, but if there are questions that are asked, there is always one question that's asked.

And right at the top of the list of questions I get asked by these young men so filled with academic knowledge that every time they open their mouth they show my ignorance. But if there's one question they do ask me, it's this.

Man dies for the sins of men. Especially when that man dies before I was even born. How can one man die for the sins of men? It doesn't make sense. A man can introduce it to us. Is that what some of you young folks are asking?

Listen, there's nothing wrong with asking that. Oh, you young folks, let me say this to you. Let me say this to you from the depth of my heart. If you have questions, don't bother them at all. Ask them.

Ask them. Don't you ever allow anyone to tell you you mustn't think. Even if your thinking leads you into pathways that folks are not pleased with, don't you allow anyone to tell you you mustn't think.

If you ever bottle up your thoughts, you remember, though you may not know the answer, there is an answer to them. Whenever I get asked that question, I look at them and I say with a shrug on my shoulders, I have nothing to say to that question.

One man can not die for the sins of millions. Of course he can't. But one God can. I must ask you even in imagination to come further with me as I close. There were soldiers in Rome, soldiers. There were, of course, the Passover feast when this thing happened on the eve of the Passover.

Camping on the hillside that overlooked. You see them that night. Cold night. There was a fire. And as I look, I see a man. And he left all that. He's got a garment. That's all he's got. I look again and away from the company of others, for such men don't have friends.

Away from the company of others, I see another man with a face that has a style of life. And I say that man's not got a garment, that man's got a breast. But I look again and I know not where he was. Maybe separated from his men.
