De Witt Talmaue in the NXew t Brooklyn Tabernacle on Clinton avenue I this evening, the building having been h dedicated in the morning at 10.30. A great union meceting in which clergymen t of all denominations of Christians par ticipated was hield in the afternoon. Six thousand persons were present at each of the services and many thousands were turned away. Text: "What means ye by these stones?" Joshua iv. G. The Jordan, like the Mississippi, has blull's on the one side and flats on the other. Ilere and there a sycamore shad ows it. Ifere and there a willow dlips into it. It was only a little over waist deep in December as I waded through it, but in the montis of April and May tile snows on Mount IA11bano thaw and flow down into the valley, and then the .Jordan overfilows its banks. Then it is wide, deep, raging, aind impetuous. At this season of the year I hear the tramp f 4(1,000 arnied men coming (own to cross the river. You say, why do they not go up nearer the rise of' the river at the ol camel Iord? Ah! my friends, it is beciuse it is not sate to go around iwhlien t lie Lord tells us to go ahead. The Israelites had been going around forty years, and they had enough of it. I (1o not know how It is with you, my breth ren, but I have always got into trouble when I went, around, but always got into safety when I Went ahCod. There spreads out the Jordan, a Iratg ing torrent, much of it snow-water just (ome down from the mountain top; and I see some of the Israelites shiverim at the idea of' plun1giig inl, and onle soldier says to his comradc, ".oseph vann you swim'--" And another says: ",I' we get across this stream we will get flhere with'a wet clothes and with damiaged armor, and tle ('ananites will slash us o0 pieces n ith their swords before we get up the fitlheri baink." Bit it 14 no time to halt. Tile great host marchies oniward. The priests carring the ark go ahead, the people follow. I hear the trailp of' the great multitule. The priest's have now come within at stone's throw of the water. Y et still there is no abatement of' the C tio, d. Now they have come within four e or live leut o lthe stream; but there is no abaitet * ol the flood. Bad prospect! It seems that if' these Israelites that cro-ased the desert, aro now --oiho to lie 4Ilrownl in sightof Clana:k. But " For wlard!" is the cry.
