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 BROOELYN DIYIKE'S SUH
t,
- DAY. 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

Instead of pumng them in an angular

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

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

parts of the land toilin? mightily for Gtxfcr

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
