We q&mQU IN A MAPLE SUGAR CAM? atODZHN XETHODS OP KAJTtTPAC- 1 TUBE. ON A LABG-E SCALE. Tapping an Orchard? Gathering the Sap-The Process ot Evaporation 1 ? Drawing Off the Sugar. ONE improvement after another | has followed, till now in the be%t-conducted camps in Ver- I moot ( which all remember I makes more maple supar than any other . State), a Jarire, tight, finished sugar- i hou*e stands in a convenient part of the ; orchard, and all the utensils when not in use are stored in the bouse. The process Iroui first to "last, in a ; mode: omp, is pcaetieaUy as follows : At tirst thres meu work most effectively tapping acd putting in order a lar^e or i char 1 in one day; 15'W to 2000 trees are at least a fair average for the orchards throughout the State. The first man, ' armed with a bit-brace, goes ahead, and with ;t three cighths-inca bit makes an i incision about an inch deep iu the tibre | of the wood <jjn the lee side of the tree. ;j A second ma* inserts a round double tin ! spile or spouf from two and a lialt to j three inches long in the a{>eratur-e. The spile not only conducts the s ip, but ha* an arrangement by whica the bucket is suspended beneath it* mouth. Lastly, the sap-buckets are bung. Both wooden and tin buckets are u?ed. The work of gathering has been much simplified. Many still put a pair of j stout horses to a strong short ate I carry ing a holder, as the large wooden tub holding several barrels is called, an?s" drive from true to tree collecting the sap; out a better and easier way is to run leaders through the orchard, collect ing in sap pails and emptying into lead* ers, yhich are woodeu gutters run throt^h the orchard like arteries and terminating in a store tank at the sugar house. Though several different Varie ties of evaporators and pan?, alike in the main, a& in use, we will descril>e the process with what is conceded to be the best apparatus In a brick framework in the sugac houte is set an iron arch with a square iron chimney. An area for a large bush is 5x20 feet, perfectly level on top. the bottom slanting fro n 2-fc feet deep in front to ten inches at the chimney end. In this area is set the evaporator, a deep boiling- pan in front and loar smaller and shal lower p<ns further back. The bot tom of the evaporator is deeply corru gated, nearly doubling the surface ex posed to the heat. Rapid boiling is a great point in sugar-making ? the shorter the time from sap to syrup the better the quality. The sap in the holder or store flow* through a strainer and rubber hose into ? regulator, which is adjusted by automatic gauge to keep the supply in the boiling-pan at a certain depth. When the sap in the boiling pan has * reached a certain stage in evaporation, it is emptied into the pan next bac'i by means of a siphon, which remove? only the syrup, leaving the scum behind. The boiling-pan is again filled with fresh sap. and the process repeated. The pans are connected with each other by siphon*, each pan perfecting the work of the preceding pan until the fourth and last paa is reached, which evaporates the liquid to die syrup of commerce, weighing eleven pounds to the gallon. Whether canned or made into sugar, the "syrup is drawn off through a faucet. So l'ar, from aapto syrup, the machinery runs it?elf after being started^Jf tires are ktpl up. If properly canned, "the syrup is allowed to coci before being put up in pint, quart, half -gal Ion or gallon glass or tin cans ; the latter are much better and more desirable every way. If canned hot, the syrup contracts one-haH pint to the gallon in cooling. The air at the top of the can is the main cause of mildew, mould or cryst?fization if-the syru|ris not soon used. vBtit to the on looker the most delightful part is ?'sug aring off.'r> The great pen tilled with a mass of amber liquid, evenly boiling all over, slowly rising to the line of sweet cteam around the rim of the pan, above which it will not go. The great fua ot "trying??it to see ifSt is done, enter tains the children and inexperienced. Long before it is done, a Uttle is dropped into water to see if it wont "crackle,'* but it slowly dissolves and makei a sickish-looking liquid; the spOouful dropped on 3a adjacent snowbank quickly uisappca^from view; prolonged j stirring wil^iuot induce it to gram ; the novice, blowfng drops of it off a knotted j birch twig, beholds his syrup sail off in | bubble* instead of line gauze- like threads. At last the sugarmaker dips into the seethiug mass of small, fine bubbles, and watching it drip off the edge of his dipper, says calmly, "The s-ugar seems aboui right to eat." Then the rush begins, and the sweet liquid is potu&i on the clean, hard snow in all sorts oUantastic forms. Nothing more uni ton jinagined. and, ior a time at leasts each: one is at peace the world, if abundantly provided with pickles and thin pink slices of dried beef or ham. Later a dish of it is stirred ^o flaky whiteness with the fragrant little birch paddles the boys whittle out while waiting. In the meantime the sugarmaker is most busily employed in removing thej pan from the area and rapidly stirring' i he whole mass until sufficiently cool, and having a tine, even grain, when it is turned into tubs holding from ten to one hundred pounds each. If made intc cakes it is stirred longer, till it becomes dry enough to retain its shape. The whiteness or maple sugar does not by any means determine its price. The differ ence in soil, the length of time the sap stands before boiling* whether or not snow or rain has falleniin the sap, the ?apidity with which it is converted into syrup? all affect it somewhat. The pure tub or cake maple sugar is a brownish amber in color, a cross shade " between coffee and snuff color, and a small lump crumbles into fine particles or grains about the size of pulverized retired cane sugar. The\bsence of the fine grains and oc asional air-holes indicates adul teration by cane sugar glucose or clay. The average yield per tree is twe pounds per season extendiog from four to six weeksi ? till frosty nights ceasc and the leaf buds begin to swell and the sat? j tastes strong and ceafes to flow.

SERMOjf: Text: "Let us make three tabernacles: ?Luke ix., 33. Our Arab ponies were almost dead with latigrie, as, in December, 1S83. we rode near the foot of Mount Hermoa in the Holy L;nd, the mountain called by one "a mountain of ice," by another "a glittering breastplate of ice," by another 'the Mont Blanc of Palestine/' Its top has an almost unearthly brilliance. But what must it have been in the time to which my text re ? Pfcter and James and John were on that mountain top with Jesus when, sud denly, Christ's faffe took on the glow of the fconday sun. and Moses and Elijah, who had been dead for centuries, came out from the heavenly world and talked with our saviour. What an overwhelming three Moses, representing the law; Elijah, repre senting the prophets, and Christ, reoreseat ing all worlds. Impetuous Peter was so wrought upon by the presence of this wondrous three, that without waiting for time to consider how preposterous was the proposition, he cried o^-Let us make three tabernacles? on? for Thee, one for Moses and one for Elijah."' W here would they get the material for building one tabernacle, much less material enough to build two tabernacles, and still less how would they get the material for building three? Where would they get the hammers? Where the gold? Where the silver? Where the curtains?" Where the costly adornments? Hermon is a barren peak, and to build one tabernacle in such a place would have been an undertaking be yond human achievement, and* Peter was propounding the impossible when he cried out in enthusiasm, '"Let us build three taber 'nades." ^ And yet that is what this congregation has been called to do and has done. The first Brooklyn Tabernacle was dedicated in 1870, and destroyed by fire in 1872. The second Brooklyn Tabernacle was dedicated in 187*, and destroyed by fire in lfc89. The third Brooklyn Tabernacle was dedicated in April, 1891, and in that we are worshiping to-day. What sounded absurd for Peter to propose, when he said on Mount Hermon, in the words of my text, 'Let us build three tabernacles,'' we have not only done, but in the mysterious province of God were com pelled to do. I announce to you this day that we ar? at last, as a church, in smooth waters. Ar rangements have been made, by which our financial difficulties are now fully and satis factorily adjusted. Our income will exceed our outgo, and Brooklyn Tabernacle will be yours and belong to yotl and your children after you, and anything you see contrary to this you may put down to the confirmed habit which some people have got of mis representing this church, and they cannot stop. When I came to Brooklyn 1 came to a small church and a big indebtedness.' We have now this, the largest Protestant church in America, and financially as a congrega tion we are worth, over and beyond all in debtedness", considerably more than $150,000. I have preached here twenty- three years, and 1 expect, if my life and l?ealth are con tinued, to preach here twenty-three years longer, although we will all do well to re member that our breath is in our nostrils, and any hour we may be called to give an account of our stewardship. All we ask for the future is that you do your best^ contrib uting alfvou can to the support of our insti tutions. Our best days are yet to.eome; our greatest revivals of religion, and bur might iest outpourings of the Holy Ghost. We have got through the Red sea and "Stand to day on the other bank clapping the oymbals ot victory. Yes, twenty-three years have passed since I came to live in Brooklyn, and they have been to me eventful years. It was a pros trated church to which I came, a church so flat down it could drop no farther Through controversies which it would be useless to rehearse it was well nigh extinct, and for long while it had bJfeu without a pastor. But nineteen memb<S2 could be mustered to sign a call for my coming . As a committee was putting that call be fore me in an upper room in my house in Philadephia, there were two other commit tees on similar errands from other churches In other rootn?? whom my wife was enter taining and keeping, apart froni unhappy collision. The auditorium of the Brooklyn church to which I came defied all the laws of acoustics; the church had a steeple that was the derision of the town, and a box pulpit which shut in the preacher^ though he were dangerous to be let loose, or it acted as a barricade that was unneces sary to keep back the people, for they iy& re so few that a minister of ordinary muscle could have kept liack all who were there. My first Sabbath in Brooklyn was a sad ( day, for I did not realize how far the church was down until theD, and on the evening of that day my own brother, through whose pocket i entered the ministry, die J, and the tidings of his decease reached me at 6 o'clock in the evening, and I was to preach at half past seven. But from that day the blessing of God was on us, and in three months we began the enlargement of the building. Be fore the close of ? that yeai' we resolved to - construct the first Tabernacle. It. was to b3 a temporary structure, and therefore we called it a Tabernacle instead of a Temple. Wbftt should be the style of architecture was the immediate question^* I had always thought that the anipitheatr.cal shape would be appropriate for a church. Two distinguished arcmrects were em- ' ployed, and after much hovering over de signs they announced to us that such a ? building was impossible for religious pur pose?, as it would not be churchlv, and would subject th?m?e!ves an 1 us to ruinous criticism, in other words, they were not ready for a revolution in church archi tecture. Utterly disheartened as to my favorite style of architecture. I said to the j trustees, "Build anything you please, and I must be satisfied ." But one morning a | youuc architect appeared ;.t my house and ; asked if we had yet selected a plau for our ; church. .Isald "No, and what we want we ; cannot get." "What kind of buildfhg do you ; want?" he asked. And taking out a lead j pencil and a letter envelope from my pocket, ' m less than a minute by a few curved lines j I indicated in the rough what we wanted, j "But/' J said, "old architects tell us it can't be done, and there is no use in you trying." He said, "I can do it. How long can I have to make out the plans?" I said, "This even -ong at 8 o'clock everything is to be decided." i ^^^frjLn-clpck of that evening the architect j presented hiTcteSSr^-1 -thg_bids_of buildet and mason were presented, and m TrrQ utes after the plans were presented the} were unanimously adopted. So that J would not be in the way of the trustees dur ing the work I went to Europe, and when 1 fot back the church was well nigh done, tut there came in a staggering hindrance j We expected to pay for the new church bj the sfle of the old building. The old on< ] had been sold, but just at the time we must have the money the purchasers backel ou and wa had two o ? v c'.ies and no money. 1 By the help ei lio.l and the indomitabli and unpnrallefel energy o? onr tru-t^e^ j <here and there one of tliem present to-day, ' but the most in a better world), u-e got the j building ready for consecration, and on September 25, 1870, morning ^an>i evening dedicatory services were held, ani in th> j afternoon the children, with swe?t aod rnuiti- j tudinous voices, cons-aerated the 'place to I God. Twenty thousand dollars were raised'] that day to pay a floating debt. In the j morning old Dr. St?phen H. Tyng, the ; j^lory of the Episcopal Churo'a ani the' i Cbrysostom otthe American pulpit, preached a sermon which lingered in its gracious ' effects as long as the building stoo l. He ; read enough out of the Episcopal prayer book to keep himself from bein? repr'.- I rnanded by his bishop for preaching at a non 1 Episcopal service: and we. although belong- ! mg to another denomination, respondent with heartiness, as though we were used to the liturgy, "Good Lord, deliver us!" During the short time we occupied that building we bad a constant downpour of religious awakening. Hosaunah! Ten mil lion year? in heaven will have no pow er to dim my memory of the glorious times we bad in the first Tabernacle, which, because of Its invasion of the usual style of church architecture, wa^called by some 'Talmaee's Hippod rome, ' by others "Church of the Holv Circuit" and bv other mirthful nomen clature. "But it was a building perfect; tor acoustics, and stood long enough 1 a haW its imitation in all the large ?cittea a !. America and to completely revolutioo&Mrchi inchmrch tecture. People saw tuafcit was tihe com mon sense way o? sealing an "audience. Instead of pumng them in an angular choreh. where aoeh one chieflv saw the back pare or someooay eise-s neaa, tne auaienoe were arranged in semicircle, so that they could see one another's faces, and th; andi torium was a great family circle seated around a fireplace, which was the pulpit. It was an iron structure, and we supposed tire proof, but the insurance companies looked at it, and after we had gone too far to ^top . in its construction they declined to insure it e?:ceot for a mere nothine. dec'arinir that being dt ?ron, il tbe lmiammaDie material between the sheets of iron took lire no engine hose could play upon it. And they were right. During those days w educated and sent out troroaa lay college under oar charge some twelve hundred young men and women, many of them becoming evangelists and many, of them becoming regularly or dained preachera, and I meet them in all parts of the land toilin? mightily for Gtxfcr , K. f." r" " One Sunday morning in Decaulbsr, 1873, i the thermometer nearly down to sero^ I was on my way to church: There was an excite ment in the street ^ and much smoke in the air. Fire euzin*? dashed past. Bat my min 1 was on thf sermon I was about to preach, until some one rushed up and tofci me that oar church was going up In the ??me kind of a chariot that Elijat took from the banks of the Jordan. That Sunday m^fn L ing tragedy, with its wringing of haft is and frozen tears on the cheeks of m&ny thou- . sands standing in tho street, an! the crash that shook the feartb, is as vivid as though it were yesterday. But it was not a perfect loss. All are anxious to do something, and as on such occasions sensible peg pie are apt to do unusual thiugs, one of the members, at the risk of his life, rushed in among the fallen wait, mouate l the pulpit and took a class of water from tin table aui brought it jn safety to the street, bo you see it was not a total loss. Within an hour from many churches came kind invitations to oc cupy their butl lings, and hanging against a lamppost near the destroyed building, be fore 1*2 o'clock that morning, was a board with the inscription, 'The congregation of Brooklyn Tat>ernacle will worship to-night in Plymouth Ctiurch."' Mr. Beecher made the opening prayer, which was full of commiseration for me and my homeles? flce'.c, and I preached that night the sfr<g?j? that i intended to preach that morning-lii my own church, the text con cerning the precious alabaster box broken at the feet of Christ, and sure enough we had one very precious broken that day. We m ere, as a cburcb. obliterated. "But arfse and builit," said many voices. Ano&ar^ architect took the amphitbeatrical plan of a church, which in the first instance was nec essarily somewhat ru ie, and developed it into an elaborate plan that was immediately adopted . But how to raise the money for suoh an expensive uu iertaking was the qtteation ? expensive not because of any senseless adornment proposed, but expensive because of the immense siz? of the building needed to hold our congregation. It was at that time when for years our entire country wes suffering, not from a financial panic, but ; from thatlon.;-contiritod financial depression which all business men remember, as the cloud hung heivy year after year and com- I inereial establishments without number .went down. Through what struggles we passed the ^rfa1 Go I and 9ome brave souls to-day remeSWr. Many a time would I have glad ly accepted calls to some other field, but I could not leave the dock in the wilder ness. ! At last, after, in the interregnum, bavin* worship*! in our beautiful Academy^ of Music, on the morning of February 22, 1874, the anniversary of the Washington who con quered impossibilities and on tne Sabbath that always celebrates thp resurrection. Dr. Bvron Sunderland, Chaplain of the Unite ! States Seuate, tbrillpef Us through ani through with a dedicatory sermon from Hasgai ii., 9. "The glory of thil house shall be greater than that of the former, saith the Lord of Hosts/' The corner stone of that building bad been laid by the illus trious and now enthrone I Dr. Ireneeus Prime. On the platform o:i dedication day sat, among others, Dr. Dowling, of the Bap tist Church, Dr. Croox, of the Methodist Church, Mr. Beecher, of the Congregational Church, and Dr. French, of the Presbyterian Church. Hosannah ! Another $35, uOO was ' raised on that day. The following Sunday 328 souls were re ceived into our commonion, mostly on confession of Taith. At tjwo other commu nions over 500 souls joined at each one. At another ingathering 628 pou Is entered this communion, and so many of those gathered thrones have already enteral heaven that we expect to feel at home when we get th?re. Mv!my! Won't we be giad to see thera? the men and womeu who stood by us in days. J that were dark aud days that were jubilant! j Hosannah ! The work done in that church i on Schermerhoj-n street can never be 1 undone.' \ I ?? , What self sacrifices on the part of many, who gave almost tifl tha blood came! What hallelujahs! What, victories! What Red ding marches playei^ith full organ! What baptisms! What sacraments! What obse- : quieal One of them on a snowy Sabbath : afternoon, when all Brooklyn seemed to sympathise, ani my eldest eon. bearing my j own name, lay beneath the pulpit in the last sleep, and Florence Rice Kuox sang, and a score of ministers on and around the plat-1 form tried to interpret how it was best that one who had just come to manhood, and with brightest worldly prospects, should be taken and left with a heart that will not cease to acfre until we meet where tears f never fall. That second Tabernacle! What a stupen dous reminiscence ! But, if the Peter of my text had known what an undertaking it is to build two tabernacles h-^ would not have proposed two, to say nothing of three. As j an anniversary sermon uau-t needs be some what autobiographical, let me sa.T I have not been idle. During the standing of tho*? two Tabernacles fifty-two book?, under as many titles, made up lrom my writings, were published. During that time also I was permitted to discuss all the great questions of the day in all the great cities of this conti nent, and in many' of them many times, be sides preaching and lecturing * ninety-six times in England, Scotland and Ireland in ninety-four days. J"c:' T" During all that time, as well as since, T was engaged in editing a religious news paper, believing that such a periodical was capable of great usefulness, and I have been a constant contributor to newspapers and periodicals. Meanwhile all things had be come easy in the Brooklyn Tabernacle. Ori a Sabbatli in October, 188D, I announced to my congrega-ion that I \fould in a few weeks visit the Holy Land, and that the offl* eersof the church had consented to my go ing, and the wish of a life to me was about to be fulfilled. The next Sabbath morning^ about 2 o'clock, or just after midnight, a member of my household awakened me by saying that there was a strange light in the sky. A thunderstorm had left the air full of electricity, and from horizon to horizon everything seemed to blaz?. But that did not disturb rn^, until an observation taken from the cupola of my house declared that the second Tabernacle was putting on red wings. I scouted the idea and turned over on the pillow for another sleep, but a number of excited voices called me to the roof, and I went up ani saw clearly defined in the night the fiery catafalque of our second Taber nacle. W hen I saw that I said to mv familv: "1 think tua: ends my work in Brooklyn. Surely the Lord will not call a minister to build three churches in one city. The build ing of one church generally euds the useful ness of a pastor. How can any one preside at the building of three churches'1" But before twenty-four hcurs had passed we were cotn^lled^to^ cry out, _with^Petefc?Of" We must have a home somewhere. The old site bad ceased to be the center of our con gregation, and the center of the congrega-'' tion, as near as we could find it, is where we now stand. '. Having selected the spot, should we build on it a barn or a tabernacle, beautiful and commodious? Our common sense, as well as our religion, commanded th? latter. But what push., what industry, what skill, what sacrifice, what faith in.liod were uecessary! Impediments aud hinlrances without num ber Were thrown in th? way, and had it not been for the perseverance of our church offi cials. and the oracticii help of many people, and the prayers of millions of goqa souls in all oarts of the earth, and the btes?in? of Almighty UoJ, the work would not have been done. But it is done, and all good people who behold the structure feel in tneir hearts, if they do not utter it with their lip*, ''How amiable are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts!" On the third Sabbath of last | April this church was dedicated, L>r. Hamlin, of Washington, preaching au inspiring ser mon, Dr. Wendell Prime, of New York, <"?fF--ring the dedicatory prayer, an 1 some | fifteen clergymen during the day taking part in the services.
