'.. > BROOKLYN, Ma^S?-This was one of the greatest <k%g??~' the history of the Brookij-n TaB^acfe^^he music, in? strumental and congregational, was of the most joyous tvperiihe hymns, the prayers and the se^ion^orere celebrative of the enti^ext?Tf^ishment of the float? ing debt of ip4^<fc0* accumulated from the d?sasters'sy?id? required the build? ing of three immense churches. Text. Exodus xv, 20, 21: "And Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took z. timbre: ic her hand, and ali the women ?went ont after her with timbr?is and with dances. And Miriam answered them? "Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea." Sermonizers are naturally so busy in getting the Israelites safely through the parted Red sea and the Egyptians sub? merged in the returning waters that ont little time is ordinarily given to w?at the Lord's people did after they got well tip high and dry on the beach. That j was the beach of the Red sea, which is at its greatest width 200 miles and at its j feast width 12 miles. Why is the ad- 1 jective 'Ted" used in describing this water? ft is called the Red sea because ! the mountains on its western coast look j 98 though sprinkled with brick inst, and i the water is colored with red seaweed and has red zoophyte and red coral. This sea was cat by the keels of Egyp? tian, Phoenician and Arabic shipping. It was no in signiScanl pond or puddle on the beach of which my text calls us to stand. 1 hear upon it the sound of a tambourine, for which the timbrel was only another name?-an instrument of xausic made out ?of ? circular hoop, with pieces of metal fixed in the sides of it. svhich made a jingling sound, and. over ?which hoop a piece of parchment was ?distended, and this was beaten by the ?mickies of the performer. The Israelites, standing on the beach <of the ReS sea, were making music on their deliverance from the pursuing ^gyytians, and I hear the Israeli tish, men with their deep bass voices, and I hear the timbrel of Miriam as 6he leads the xromec in their jubilee. Rather live?y instniments, you say, for religious serv? ice, the timbrel or tambourine. But I ithink God sanctioned it. And I rather .think we will have to put a little more ?of the festive into our religious services and drive out the dolorous and funereal, and the day may come when the timbrel .will resume its place in the sanctuary. But that which occupied the attention cf afl the men and women of that Israel ?tisb host was the celebration of their victory. They had crossed. They had triumphed. They were free. Kore wonderful was this victory and defeat than when the hosts of Richard .overcame the hosts of Saladin at Azotus, than when at Bannockburn Scotland ?as set free, than when the Earl cf Northumberland was driven back at Branham Moor, than when at the battle of Wakefield York was slain, than when at Bosworth Field Richard was left dead, than when the Athenians under Miltiades at Marathon put the Persians to flight, for this victory of my text was gained without sword or catapult or spear. The weapon was a lifted and prostrated sea. "And Miriam, the proph? etess, the sister of Aajpn, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed glori ?usry; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea." - A GLORIOUS TRiLJiiM. Brooklyn Tabernacle today fee?3 much as Moses and Miriam did when they stood on the banks of the Red sea after their safe emergence from the waters. By the help of God and the generosity of <flar friends here and elsewhere our $140, fOOO ve?? floating church debt is forever gone, and this house, whiqh, with the ?round upon which it stands, represents $410,090. J this day reconsecrate t$> God ?he Father, God .the Son and God the Holy Ghost A stranger might ask how .could this church get into debt to an .amount that would build several large churches?" My answer fa, Wave3 of de Ifcruction, stout as any that ever rolled across the Red sea of my text. Examine all the pages of church his? tory and all the pages of the v&rld's his? tory and show me an organization, sa? cred or secular, that ever had to build three great structures, two of them de stroyed by fire. Take any of your big gest life insurance companies, or your biggest storehouses, or your biggest banks, or your biggest newspaper estab? lishments and let them have to build three times on the same foundation, and it would cost them a struggle if not demolition. My text speaks of the fred sea once crossed, but one Red sea would not have so much overcome us. It was with U3 Red sea after Red sea. Three Red seas I Yet today, thanks be to God, we stand cn the shore, and with ! organ and cornet in absenee of a timbrel | we chant. "Sing ye unto the Lord, for he j kath triumphed gloriously; the horse and j his rider hath he thrown into the sea." But why the great expense of this structure? My answer is the immensity of it and the firmness of it. It cost over $34,000 to dig the cellar before one stone was laid, reaching as the foundation does from street to street, and then the build? ing of the-house was constructed in a way. we are told by experienced builders who ha4 nothing to do with it, for durability of foundation and wall such as charac? terizes hardly any other building of this city. To the day of your death and mine, and for our children and grand? children after us, it will stand here a j house of God and a gate of heav n. For me personally this is a time of gladness more than tongue or pen or j typo can ever teil. For 24 years I bari j been building churches in Brooklyn and i seeing them barn down until I felt 1 j could endure the strain no Longer, and 1 i had written my resignation as paster : and had appointed io read it two Sab? baths ago and close mywodb in Brook- : ipi forever. 1 felt that my chief work was yet. to be done, but that I could act do it with the Alps on one shoulden an*! I the Himal ayas on the other. But God ! has interfered, and the way is citar, and ' J am here and expect to be here u ?ri] j my work on earth is done. Why should i want to ga away (rom j Brooklyn? I have no sympathy with the ; popular sentiment which defames our beloved city. Some people makeit apart pf their religion to excoriate and belittle : Hie place of their residence, and there has been more damage, financial and >u< ral, done to our city by this hypercritieism than can ever be estimated. The course of our. city has been onward ?nd upward We have a citizenship mu. J up of hun- I dreds of thousands of as good naen und. women as inhabit ike earth, and I feel honored in being a citizen of Brooklyn, and pro]K>se to stay here until 1 j ?in the '. aopuJcition in the Silent City out y >nd< r, how all abloom with spring flowers sweet types of resurrection! My thanks must be first to God an then to all who have contributed b large gift or small to this emancipation Thanks to the men, women and childre who have helped, and sometimes helpe with self sacrifices tliat I know mus have won the applause of the heavens If you could only read with me a few c the thousands of letters that have com j to my desk in The Christian Herald ol fcce, you would know how deep thei sympathy, how large their sacrifice ha been. "I have sold my bicycle and no's send you the money,'* is the language c one noble- young man who wrote to Th Christian Herald. "This is my de& son's gjft to me, and I have been led t send i* to you," writes a mother ii Rhode island. A blind octogenarian invalid in York Pa., sends his mite and bis prayer Thanks to all the newspaper press Eave you noticed how kind and sympa thetic all the secular newspapers hav been, and of course all the religiou newspapers, with two or three nasty es copiions? You say that sometimes news papers get things wrong. Yes, but whicl of us does not sometimes get thing wrong? If you want to find a man wh< has never made a mistake, do not wast* your time by looking in this pulpit Thanks to the editors and reporters an< publishers. Gentlemen of the Brooklyi and New York printing press, if yoi never report anj-thing else that I say please to report that. Yes, I see you ar< getting it all down. A NEW DEPARTURE. As a church we from this day mak< new departure. We will preach inon instructive sermons. We will offer mor< faithful prayers. We will do betta work in all departments. We will ii the autumn resume our lay college We will filial! the rooms of thismagnifi cent pile with work for God and suffer mg humanity. More prayers have beer offered for^this church,"and on botl sides the sea, than for any church thal has ever existed, and all those prayers will be answered. Clear the track foi the Brooklyn Tabernacle! "Sing ye tc ilie Lord, for he hath triumphed glori? ously; the horse and his rider hath he j thrown into the sea." But do you not now really think that j the Miriam of my text rejoiced too soon: ! Do you not think she ought to have ; waited till the Israelitish host got clear over to Canaan before she struck her knuckles against the timbrel or tam? bourine? Miriam! You do well to have the tambourine ready, but wait .a little before you play it. You are aot yet through the journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. You will yet have lo drink out of the bitter water of Marah, and many of your army will eat so heart? ily of the- fallen quails that they- wOl elis. of colic, and yon sriU at the foojfc?f Sinai be scared with the thunder, "sad there will be fiery serpents in the way and many battles to fight, and last of all the muddy Jordan to cross. Miriam! I have no objections to the tambourine, but do not jingle its bells or thump its tightened parchment until you are ali inrongm Ah, my friends, Miriam was right, ff we never shouted victory till we got clear through the struggles of this life, we would never shout at all. Copy the habit of Mi: I m and MoseS. The mo? ment you get a victory celebrate it. The time and place to hold a jubilee for the .safe crossing of the Red sea is on its beach and before you leave it. It is aw? ful, the delayed hosannahs, the belated halleluiahs, the postponed doxologies, the trains of thanksgiving coming in so long after they are due! It is said, do not rejoice over a revival too soon, for the new members might not hold out. Do aot thank God for the money you made today, for tomorrow you might lose it all and more. Do not be too grateful for your good health to? day, for tomorrow you may get the grip. Do not be too glad about your conversion, for you might fall iron: grace. Do not rejoice too scon over a church's deliverance, because there might be dis? asters yet to come. Oh, let us have no more adjourned gratitude! The time to thank God for a rescue from temptation is the moment after you have broken the wine flask. The time to thank God for your salvation is the moment after the first flash of pardon. The time to l>e grateful for the comfort of your bereft soul is the first moment of Christ's appearance at the mausoleum of Lazarus. The time for Mrriaaas tam? bourine to sound its most jubilant note is the moment the last Israelite puts his foot on the sand on the parted inland ocean. Alas, that when God's mercies have such swift wings our praises should have such leaden feet! MIRIAM'S SQN?. Notice that Miriam's song in my text had for its burden the overthrown cav? alry. It was not so much the infantry or the men on foot over whose defeat she rejoiced with ringing timbrel, but over the men o-i horseback-.-r-the mounted tromps! "The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea." There is some? thing terrible in a cavalry charge. You see it is not like a soldier afoot, thrusting a bayonet or striking with a sword, using nothing but the strength of his own mus? cle and sinew, for the cavalryman adds to the strength of his own ann the awful plunge of a steed at full gallop. Tre ??endous arm of war is the cavalry! Josephus says that in that host that crossed the Red sea there were 50,000 cavalrymen. EpaminoncUs rode into battle with 5,000 cavalrymen and Alex? ander with 7.COO. Marlborough depended pn his cavalry for the triumph at Blen? heim. It was not alone the snow that de? spoil!. <1 the French armies in retreat from Moscow, but th? mounted Cossacks. Cav- j aliymen decided the battles of Leuthen j and Leipsic and Winchester and Hanover j Court House and Five Fortis. Some of you may have been in the relentless raids led on by Forrest or Chalmers or Morgan or Stuart of the southern side, erPieasanion or Wilson or Kilpatrick or Sheridan of the northern side. The army saddles are 1 the thrones of buttle. Hurricanes in stirrups are the cavalrymen. No wonder that Miriam was chiefly j grateful that the Egyptian cavalrymen, ; Dursuing the Israelites down to midway j tbe Red sea, ?vere unsaddled, unstirruped, unhorsed. Miriam struck the center of j the tambourine with the full force of her j right hand when she came to that bar of j the music, "The horse and his riderhath . hethrowu into tho sea." Ah, my friends, | it is the mounted troubles that wc most j Gear. The little troubles we can endure the cinder ia the eye, the splinter under j the nail, the thorn in the foot, the social j slight, the mean liing, thc invidious com- i parison or the remarks that snub. The annoyances and vexations on foot 1 W<M;;:: conquer, but alas for the mount ed disasters, the bereavements, the bank- I rn] tcies. the persecutions, the appalling : sicknesses that charge upon us, as it ; were, with uplifted battleax or consum- i vng rimnderbolt of \.<:w< r. There arel th? se among my bearers or readers who have had a whole regina nt of mouuted j disasters charging np m them. But fear i not. The smallest horsefly on thc neck ; of pharaoh's war charger, passing be- ? tween the crystal palisades of the up- j heaved Red sea* was not moro easily : drowned by the tailing waters than the : .'.'>.<:.-.;o helmetedand plumed riders on thc hacks of the50.0GO neigldng-andcapari sone I war chargers. And I have r-> tell you, O child of God, tba? the Lor.!, who is on your sid?* now and forever, has nt his disposal and ; under his command all waters, all wrad -, .?all lightnings, all time and all eternity. Come, look rae in the face while I nt te the word God commands me to speak tc yon, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper." Don't throw away your tambourine. You will want it as sure as you sit there and I stand here, and tho tune you will yet play on it, whether standing on beach of time or beach of eternity, will be the tune that Miriam played when she cried, "Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea." I expect to have a good laugh with you m heaven, for the Bible says in Luke, sixth chapter, tw-enty-nrst verse, "Blessed are ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh." We shalLnot spend all eternity psalm singing, but sometimes in review of tho past, as Christ says, we shall laugh. There is nothing wrong in laughter. It all depends on wl^t you laugh at, and when you laugh, and how you laugh. Nothing, il seems, will more thoroughly kindle our heavenly hilarities after we have got inside the pearly gate than to see how in this world we got scared at things which ought not to have fright? ened us at all. How often we work ourselves up into a great stew about nothing! The Rec sea before may be deep, and the Egyp? tian cavalry behind us may be' well mounted, but if we trust the Lord we will go through no more hurt by the water than when in boyhood we rolled our garments to the knee and barefoot crossed the meadow brook on the old homestead. The odds may seem to be all against you, but I guess it will be all right with you if you have God on your side and all the angelic, cherubic, se? raphic and archangelic kingdoms. **If God be for you, who can be against your" Lay hold of the Lord in prayer, and yon will go free, as did Richard Cecil with ?20 of missionary money in his sad? dlebags, and the highwaymen grabbed his horse by the bridle and told him to deliver, and he prayed God for safety, and suddenly one of the robbers said: "Mr. Cecil, I once heard you preach. Boys, let the gentleman go." AN IDEA OF HEAVES. But let me criticise Miriam a little for the instrument of music she employed in the divine service on the sandy beach. Whynot take some other instrument? The harp was a sacred instrument. Why did she not take that? The cymbal was a sacred instrument. Why did she not take that? The trumpet was a sacred in? strument. Why did she not take that? Amid that great host there must have been musical instruments more used in religious aerviee. No. She took that which she liked the best and on which she could best express her gratnlation over a nation's rescue, first through the retreat of the waxes of the Red sea, and then through the clapping of the hands of their destruction. So I withdraw my criticism of Miriam. Let every one take her or his best mode of divine worship and celebration. My idea of heaven is that it is a place where we can do as we please and have everything we want. Of course sre will do not??ng wrong and want nothing harmful. How much of the material and phys? ical will finally make up tb 2 heavenly world 1 know not, but I think Gabriel will have his trumpet, and David his nari), and Handel his organ, and Thal? berg his piano, and the great Norwegian performer hisviolin, and Miriam her tim? brel, and as I cannot make music on any of them I think I will move around among all of them and listen. But there are our friends of the Scotch Covenanter church who do net like musical instru? ments at all in divine worship, and they .need not have them. I tell Duncan and McLeod and Bruce they need never hear in heaven a single string thrum, or a single organ roll. We will all do a3 we please in that radiant place if through the pardoning and sanctifying grace of Christ we ever get there. What a day it will be when wo stand on the beach of heaven and look back on tho Red sea of this world's sin and trouble and celebrate the fact that we have got through and got over and got up, our sins and our troubles at? tempting to follow gono clear down un? der tho waves. Oh, crimson floods, roll over them and drown them, and drown them forever! What a celebration it will be-our resm> rected bodies standing on the beach whose pebbles are amethyst and emerald and agate and diamonds! What a shakr ing of hands! What a tallang over old times] What a jubilee! What aa op? portunity to visit! In this world we have so little time for that, I am looking forward to eternal socialities. To be with God and never sin against him. To be with Christ and forever feel his love. To walk together in robes of white with those with whom on earth we walked together in black raiment of mourning To gather up the members of our scat? tered families and embrace them with no embarrassment, though all heaven be looking ou. TOGETHER AT TTIE LAST. A mine in Scotland caved in and caught amid the rocks a young man who in a few days was to have been united in holy marriage. No one could get heart to tell his affianced of the death of her beloved, but some one made her believe that he had changed his mind about the marriage and willfully disap? peared, fifty years passed on, when one day the miners delving in the earth suddenly caine or* the body of that young man, which had all those years been kept from the air and looked just as it was the day of the calamity. Strong, manly, noble youth, ho sat there looking as on the day he died. But no one recognized the silent form. After awhile they called tho oldest in- i habitants to come and seo if any one ! could recognize him. A woman with ! bent form and her hair snowy white with years came last, and looking upon tl it silent form that had been so completely preserved gave a bitter cry and fell into a long swoon, lt was tho one to whom half a century before she was to have been wedded, looking then just as when in the days of their youth their affec? tions had commingled. Lut the emotion When Baby wis i-K-k, vi? pav?' h^r Castoria. When she ?vas a Child, she cried fur Oa&orta. When she became Miss, sh?; clun^ t<> Castoria. Whoa she ha?

My friends, we shall come at last upon those of our loved ones who long ago halted in the journey of life. They will be as fair and beautiful-yea. fairer and more beautiful than when we parted from them. It may be old age looking upon childhood or youth. Oh, my Lord, how we have missed them!

Miriam's song again appro? priate, for death riding on the pale horse with his four hoofs on all our hearts shall have been forever discomforted. I see them now-the glorified-as? sembled for a celebration mightier and more jubilant than that on the banks cf the Red sea, and from all lands and ages, on beach of light above beach of light, gallery above gallery and thrones above thrones, in circling sweep of 10,000 miles of suiTOunding and upheaved splendor, while standing before them on "sea of glass mingled with fire" Michael, the archangel, with swinging scepter beats time for tho multitudinous chorus, cry? ing: "Sing!
