STONES THAT SPEAK. DR. TALMAGE PREACHES IN THE NEW TABERNACLE. The Law. Sacrifice and Go-pel Sym bolized by Rccks From Sinai. Calvary and Mars Hil--An Eartlis Uouse for Jesus-What the Church 3eau9. BROOKLYN, April 26.--ermon of Rev. T. De Witt Talmaae in the New Brooklyn Tabernacle on Clinton avenue this evening, the building har-ng been dedicated in the morning at 10.30. A great union meeting in which clergymen of all denominations of Christians par ticipated was held 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. 6. The Jordan, like the Mississippi, has bluffs on the one side and flats on the other. Here and there a sycamore shad ows it. Here and there a willow Ctips into it. It was only a little over waist deep in December as I waded through it, but in the months of April and May the snows on Mount Lebanon thaw and flow down into the valley, and then the Jordan overflows its banks. Then it is wide, deep, raging. and impetuous. At this season of the year I hear the tramp of 40,000 armed men coming down to cross the river. You say, why do they not go up nearer the rise of the river at the old camel ford? Ahl my friends, it is because it is not safe to go around when the Lord tells us to go ahead. The Israelites had been going around forty years, and they had enough of it. I do not know how it is with you, my breth 4 ren, but I have always got into trouble when I went around, but always got into safety when I went aheod. There spreads out the Jordan, a rag ing torrent, much of it snow-water just come down from the mountain top; and I see some of the Israelites shivering at the idea of plunging in, and one soldier says to his comrade, "Joseph can you swim5" And another says: "If we get acroms this stream we will get there with wet clothes and with damaged armor, and the Cananites will slash us Io pieces with their swords before we get up the other bank." But it is no time to halt. The great host marches onward. The priests carrying the ark go ahead, the people follow. I hear the tramp of the great multitude. The priest's have now come within a stone's throw of the water. Yet still there is no abatement of the floed. Now they have come within four or five feet of the stream; but there is no abatemen !of the flood. Bad prospitl! It seems that if these Israelites that crossed the desert aro now zoirg to 1,e drowned in sight of Canaan. But "For ward!" is the cry. The command rings all along the line of the host. "For ward." Now the priests have come within one step of the river. This time they lift their feet from the solid ground and place them down into the raging stream. No sooner are their feet there than Jordan flies. On the right hand God piles up a great mountain of floods; on the left, the water flows off toward the sea. The great river, for hours, halts and rears. The back waters not being able to flow over the passing Iraelites, pile wave on wave, until perhaps a sea bird would find some difficluty in scaling W the water cliff. Now the priests and all t~e people have gone over on dry land. .-The water on the left hand side by this ti me has reached the sea; and now that jthe miraculous passage has been made, stand back and see this stupendous pile of water leap. God takes his hand from that wall of floods, and like a hundred -cataracts they plunge and roar in thun derouis triumph to the sea. How are they to celebrate this passage? SShall it be with music? I suppose the tc rumpet and cymbals were all worn oai before this. Shall it be with banners Awaving? Oh! no; they are all faded and torn. Joshua cries out: "I will tell you h ow to celebrate this; build a monument here to commemorate the event;" and -every priest puts a heavy stone on his s~ houlder-, and marches out and drops Sthat stonie in the divinely-appointed place. I see that pile growing in height, in breadth, in significance; and, in after years, men went by that spot and saw thils monument, and cried out one to another, in fulfilment of the prophecy of the text: "What mean ye by these stones?" Blessed be God, he did not leave our church in the wilderness! We have been -wandermng about for a year and a half worshipping in the Academy of music, Brooklyn, and Academy of Music, New ~York. And some thought we would 1a ever reach the promised land. Some said we had better take. this route and bthers that. Some said we had better back, and some said there were sons ofAak in the way that would eat us up; and before the smoke had cleared away from the sky after our Tabernacle had been consumed people stood on~ th~e very site of the place. and said: "This church will never again be built." We came down to the bank of Jordan; we looked off upon ithe waters. Some ~jof the sympathy that was ex pressed turned out to be snow-water *melted tram the top of Lebanon. Some said: "You had better not go in; you willget your feet wet." But we waded in, pastor and people, further and fur Sther. and in some way, the Lord only ~knows how, we got through; and to-night I go all around about this great house erected by your prayers, and sympathies, and sacrifices, and cry out in the words of my text: "What mean ye by these stones?" .It is an outrage to build a house like this so vast and so magnificent unless there be some tremendous reasons - for doing it; and so, friends, I pursue you to-night with the question of my text, and 1 demand of these trustees and Sof these elders and of all who have con -tributed in the building of this structure, "What mean ye by these stones?" But 'before I get you answer to my question you point to the memorial wall at the Sside of this pulpit, and say to me. "Ex Splain that unusual group of memorials, SWhat mean you by those stones?" *By permission ofthepeople of my be ~loved charge I recently visited the IHoly SLands, and havmng in mind by day and -night during my absence this rising house ~of prayer, I bethought myself, "-What can I do to make that place significant and glorious." On the morning of IDec ember the third we were at the foot of the most sacred mountain of all the earth, Mount Calvary. There is no more doubt of the locality than of Mount Washington or Mount Blanc. Un the bluff of this mountain, which is the exact shape of the human skull, and so called in the Bible, "The place of a skull," there is room for three crosses. There .I saw a stone so suggestive that I rolled it dawn the bill, and transported it. It is at the top of this wall, a white stone, with crimson veins running through it, the white typical of purity, the crimson - suggestive ot the blood that paid the price of our redemption. We place it 6 at the tap of the memorial wall, for above all in this church for -ll time. im sermon, and song, and prayer, shall be Sacrifice at Mount Calvary. Look at it. That stone was one of the rocks rent at the crucifixion. That heard the cry; "It is finished." Was any church on earth honored with such a memorial? Beneath it are two tables of stone which I had brought from Mount Sanai where the Law was given. Three cam els were three weeks crossing the desert to fetch them. When at Cairo, Egypt, -I proposed to the Christian Arab thaT~ he brin on tne from Mount Smnai, he aid, -we can easier briug tw' rocks v han oue fo.r we nust balance them on C he back of the camel," and I did not hink uAtil the day of tir arrival how t nuch more sug estive woud be tLe two 1 Decause the law was written ou two ta Ales of Stone.

That stone I obtained I by special permission from the Queen of' Greece. a mos- graclous and brilliant woman, who received us as though we I had been old actuaintances. and throug-h Mr. Tricoupis, the prime minister of Greece, and Mr. Snowden, our American minister plenipotentiary, and Dr. Ma natt, our American cousul, that sugges tive tablet was sawed from the pulpit ot I rock on whici Paul preached. Now y ou I understand why we have marked it -The Gospel." Long after my lips shall i utter in this church their last message, ! these lips of stone will tell of the Law, and the Sacrilce and the Gosp'el. This day I present them to this church and to all who shall gaze upon them. Thus you have my answer to the question, "What mean voi by these stones?" But you must not divert me from the question of the text as I first put it. I have interpreted these tour memorials on my right hand but there are hun dreds of stones in these surrounding walls and underneath u1'. in the founda tions, and rising above us in thd towers. The anuarries ot this and transatlantic countries at the call of crowbar and chisel have contributed toward this structure. ihat mean ye by these stones?" You mean among other things that they shall be an earthly residence tor Christ. Christ did not have much of a licme when le was here. Who and where is that child cryiuna It is Jesus, born in an cut-house. Where is that hard breathing? It is Jesus, asleep on a rock. Who is tl.at in the back part ot the tishing-snack, with a sailor's roug-h over-coat thrown over him? It is Jesus the worn-cut voyager. 0 Jesus! Is it not time that tt-ou ladst a house* We ive Thee this. Thou didst give it to us irst, but we give it back to Thee. It is too aood for us. but not half good enough for Thee. Oh! come in and take the best seat here. Walk up and down all these aisles. Speak through these organ pipes. Throw T'iine arm over us in these ar ches. In the flaming of these brackets of tire speak to us saymg. "I am the light of the world." 0 King! make this Thine audience-chamber. IIere' pro claim righteousness and make treaties. We clap our hands, we uncover our he ads, we lit our ensigns. we cry with multitudinous acclamation until the place rings and the heavens listen: "0 King! live for- ever!" Is it not timc that he who was born in a stranger's house and buried in a stran ger's grave should have an earthly house? Come in, 0 Jesus! not the corpse ot a buried Christ, but a radiant an I triumphant Jesus, conquer)r of earth, and heaven and hell. Ie lIves, all glory to his name, Be lives, 'uy Jesus, still the same. Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives I know that my Redeemer lives. Blessed be His glorious name forever! Again, if any one asks the question of the text: '-What mean ye by these stones?" the reply is, we mean the com munion of saints. Do you know that there is not a denomination of Christians in Brooklyn that has not contributed something toward the building of~ this house? And iif ever, standivg in this place, there shall be a man who shall try by anythinig he says, to stir up bitter ness between ditferent (denominations of Christians, may his tongue falter and his cheek blanch, and his heart stop! My friends, if there is any church on earth where there is a mingling of all denomi nations, it is our church. I just wish that John Calvin and Ar minius, if they were not too busy, would come out on the battlements and see us. Sometimes in our prayer meetings I have heard the brethren use the phrases ot a beautiful liturgy and we know where they came from; and in the same prayer meetings I have heard brethren make audible ejaculation, "Amen!" "Praise ye the Lord!" arnd we did not have to guess twice where they came from. When a man knocks at our church door, if he comes from a sect where they will not aive him a certificate we say: "Come in by confession of faith." While Adeniram Judson, the Baptist and John Wesley, the Mothodist, and John Knox, the glorious old Scotch Pres byterian, are shaking hands in heaven, all churches on earth can afl'ord to come into close communication: "One Lord, one faith, one baptism." Oh my breth rn-we have had enough of Big Bethel fights-the Fourteenth New York regi nent fighting the Fifteenth Massachu setts regiment. Now iet all those who are for Christ, and stand on the same side. go shoulder to shoulder, and this church. instead of having a sprinkling of the Divine blessing, go clean under the wave in one glorious immeision in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the IHoly Ghost. I saw a little child once, in its dyin:; hour, put oiie arm around its father's neck, and the other arm around its mother's neck, and bring them close down to its dying lips and give a la ;t kiss. Oh, I said those two persons will stand very near to each other always after such an interlocking. The dying Christ puts one arm around this denomination of christians, and the other arm around tat denomination of Christians, and lie brings them down to his dying ips, while hie gives them this partit g kiss: "M1y peace I leave with you. 3My peace I give unto von." how swift the heavenly course they run, Whose hearts, and faith, anid hopes are one. I heard a Baptist minister once say that he thioughlt ini the millennium i would be all one great Baptist church, and I heard a M1ethodist minister say that he thought iin the great M1illennial day it would be all one great M1ethodist church; and I have known a Presbyterian minister who thoughit that in the M1illen nial day it wouldl be all one great Pres byterian church. Now I think they arc all mistaken. I thing the M1illennial church will be a composite church; and just as you may take the best parts of five or six tunes, and under the skilimul hands of a Imandel, Mlozart or Ibeethoven entwine them into one grandl and over powering syiimphouv, so I suppose, in the latter days ot the world, God wvil take time best parts of all denummations of Christians, and weave them into one great ecclesiastucal harmony, broad as the earth and high as the heavenis. and that wvill be tile church of the inture. Or, as mosaic is madc up of jasper and agate, and many precious stones cement ed together-motsaie a thousand feet scire in St. M1arks, or mosaic hosted iicollossal seraphiim in St. Sopha-so I suppose God will make, al ter awhile, one great blendius of all creeds, and all faiths, and all Christian sentiments, the amethyst. and thme jasper. and thme chal edony of all durierent experiences and belief, cemientedh side b)y side in the great mosaic ot the a: es; and while the nations look upon the columis aind archiitraves ot that stupendous church of the fuiture, and -e out: - -What mean ye by these stolsy" there shall be innumerable oices to respond-" We mean the Lord Iod omnipotent reigneth." Still further you mean by these stones le salvation of the people. We did no' uild this church for mere woRdly re )rms,. or for an educational institution. r as a plat!orm on which to read essais ud piliosophical disquisitious; but a .age fr the tremendous work' osu avinir. Oh. I had ratler be the means this church of havhn one soul pre ared for a joyful eternity than lve housands souls .raepared for a mere orldlv success. All churches are in wo cfasSe; all co)ulmunities in two lasses. all the race iv two classes-be evers and unbelievers. To augmnUt he number of the one and substract ( rom the number of the other, we build hs church; and toward that supreme ud eternal Idea we dedicate all our ser aons, all our songs. all our prayers, all ur Sabbath hand-shakings. We want to throw defection into the nelmy's ranks. We want to make them ither surrender unconditionally to hrist or else ly in rout, scattering the vav with canteens, blankets, and knap- c acks. Want to popularize Christ. I ,Ve would like to tell the story of his 1 ove here until men would feel that they iad rather die than live another Lour vithout his sympathy, and love, and nercv. We want to arouse up an euthu asm for him greater than was felt 1-r Kathaniel Lyon when he rode along the anks-greater than was exhibited for Xellingtou when he came back from aterloo-greater than was exureszed 'or Napoleon when he stepped ashore 'rom Elba. We really beleje in this lace Christ will enact the same scenes that were enacted by him when he land ,d in the Orient; and there will be such n opening of blind eyes, and unstopping >f deaf ears, and casting out of unclean pirits-such silencing bestormed Gen esarets as shall make this house ,emorable five hundred years after you mnd 1 are dead and forgotten. Oh, my riends, we want but one revival in this :urch, that beginning now and running n to the day when the chisel of time, tLat lrings down even St. Paul's and the Pyramids, shall bring this house nto the dust. Oh, that this day of dedie ition might be the day ol emancipation of all im prisoned souls. My friends, do not make the blunder of the ship carpenters in Noah's time, who helped to build the ark; but did not get into it. God forbid that you who have beeu so generous in building this church. should not izet un der its saving intluence. "Come thou and all thy house into the ark." Do you think a man is safe out of Cliriste Not one day. not one hour, not one minute, not one second. Three or four years ago, you remember, a rail train broke down a bridge on the way to Albany, and after the catastrope, they were looking around among the timbers of the crushed bridge and the fallen train, and found the con ductor. He was dying, and had only strength to say one thing, and that was: "Hoist the flag for the next train." So there come to us to-night, from the eter aal work, voices of God, voices of angels, voices of departed spirits, crying: -Litt the warning. Blow the trumpet, ive the alarm. Hoist the flag for the next train." Well, the Brooklyn Tabernacle is erected again. We came here to-night not to dedicate it. That was done this morning. To-night we dedicate our selves. In the Episcopal and Methodist churches they have a railing around the altar, and the people come and kneel down at that railing and get the sacr e mental blessing. Well, my friends, it wuld take more than a night to gather von in circles around this altar. Then just bow where you are for this blessing. Aged men, this is the last church that von will ever dedicate. May the God who comforted Jacob the Patriarch and Paul the aged make this house to you the gate of heaven; and when, in your old ays, you put on your old spectacles to read the hymn or the Scripture lesson may you get preparation for that -land where you shall no more see through a glass darkly. May the warm sunshine of heaven thaw the snow ofl' your fore heads! Men in mid-life, do you know that this is the place where you are going to get your fatigues rested, and your sorrows appeased, and your souls saved? Do you know that at this altar your sons and daughters will take upon themselves the vows of the christian, and from this place you wilt carry out, some of you, your precious dead? Between this bap tism font and this communion table, you will have some of the tenderest of life's experiences. God bless you, old, and young, and middle-aged. The money you have given to this church to-day will be. I hope, the best financial invest ment you have ever made. Your worldly investment may depend upon the whims of the money market, or the honesty of business associates; but the money you have given to the house of the Lord shall yield you a large per centage and declare eternal dividends long after the noon day sun shall have gone out -like a spark from a smitten anvil and'all the stars are dead.
