BrookI.YN, May Id.—The Tabernacle was crowded to the doors today when Rev. Dr. Tulmage took for the subject of his forenoon sermon a passage of ) Scripture which has l»een made the sub ject of much discussion and various in terpretation hy modern theologians. His theme was, “A Cheerful Church," and the text was selected from Solomon's Song iv, 1, “Behold, thou art fair, my love." "Higher criticism” says that this hook \ of Solomon's song is a love Beene, a for lorn maiden sighing for her bean. If bo, It is an unclean and deliauched ut- ! tersnee inserted in the pure word of God and is not fit for common reading. My opinion is that it is an inspired ode Batting forth the feeling of Christ to ward the church and of the church to ward Christ. Christ ts the bridegroom, and the church is the bride, The same words we can utter today truthfully, whether in regard to the church of God in general or this church in particular, "Behold, thou art fair, my love," The jmst week has l>een one of pro longed congratulation for that we have for years Is-eu jiermitted to associate with each other hi the relation of pastor and people. When 1 came to Brooklyn, ! 1 found a small hand of Christian di.-ci- ! pies who from various causes hud lm- come less and less until they stood u]Mtii the very verge of extinction as a church, ami theijnestion was is-ingngiti.icd from time to time whether It would Is 1 jto.-.-i- ble to maintain a church life longer. In deed, had not those men and woincu ls*t*n consecrated and earnest, they would hive surrendered to the adverse circum stances. They marshaled a congrega tional meeting, and gathering up all the forces jsissihle they cast lit votes fora pastor, all of which I am happy to have received. It was not through any spirit of i»er- aonal courage or reckless adventure that I was led from one of the warmest and moat congenial pastorates in Philadel phia- that a man ever enjoyed to this then most uninviting field, hut it was the feeling that God hail called me to the work, and I was sure he would see me through. I have thought that it might be profit- alJ|e to us to state briefly what kind of a dliurch we have been trying to establish. f :* t. i i 'l ‘V ■f |ir T«d»-rii«< |r i liurcti. Ill the first place, 1 remark that we have keen trying to build here a Chistinn church — distinctively such; in oilier words, a church where we should preach the Lord Jesus Christ and him crucified. My theology is all gone into five letters —Jesus. Jesus, the pardon of all of fenses. Jesus, the foundation for all structures. Jesus, the halm for all wounds. Jesus, the eye salve for all blindness. Jesus, the guide through all perplexities. .Jesus, tin* }ioj>e for all ili»: fpUfageipents Jesus, the reform {of <dj J ha ye faitlf fq b*‘lit:yf} that ffiefe js mnfff power in ope drop of fhe |>lood pf jrsttfl (’hrist to cure tb« woes of the world than in «n ocean full of human quackery, Jesus Is the grandest note in any minstrelsy. He Is the brightest gem In any crown; height overtopping all height; the center of every circumfer ence; tlie circumference to every center; tiie pacifier of all turbulence; the umpire of all disputes. Jesus, Jesus! At his ta ble all nations are to sit. Around his throne all worlds are to revolve. Ho is j to lie the irradiation of the universe. Je sus, Jesus! It is that truth that we have tried to preach in this Tabernacle. Do you ask more minutely what we believe'; 1 can tell you. We have no dry, withered, juiceless theology. We believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, the deliverer of the distressed, the home for the homer ! e«, *hr fri« ml for tne Iriendlcss. We believe in Jesus Christ, able to save to the uttermost, pardoning the guilty, im puting his righteousness to the lieliever. We believe in the Holy Ghost, the com- 'dftef, the sanctifier, cheering up the iirt in 'life’s tils and kindling bright tgtys in'eVery dark landing place. We jelievif that the whole race is so sunken in sin that nothing but the omnipotent arm of God can ever lift it out. We l»e- lieve in grace — free grace, sovereign grace, triumphant grace, eternal grace. We believe in a Bible—authentic, in its statements, immaculate in its teachings, glorious in its promises. We believe in heaven, the alssle of the righteous, and in hell, the residence of those who are soul suicides—of their own free choice refusing the divine mercy. Vic belit-ve in the sultatiou of all men who accept Christ by faith, be they sprinkled or immersed, worship they in cathedral or in log cabin, lielieve they in Presbyterianism or Episcopacy, dwell for an audience room. The prominent architects of tlio country said: “It can not be done. Yon need a churchly build ing.” And so we had plan after plan of ■ ohnrehlybuildings presented, but indue time God sent a man who grasjied our idea and executed it. So far from lieing a failure, it satisfied our want, and all our three churches were built on the amphitheatrical plan, and scores of jesns, lover ot mr soul.

And she says, “Yes, Jesus, I am very tired.” Jesus says, “Mother, are you poor?” And she says; "k es, 1 am very poor. I cannot sew any more. I cannot knit any more. I am very jioyr.’ Jesus says to her, “Mother, would you like to rest?’’ She says, “Yes, Lord; that is what I want—rest." “Courage, mother,” says Jesus. “I will Bee thee through." She goes home. The next morning in the tenement house some one dwelling long Hat of H, to or l.i have Is-cii read, and then the presiding officer has said, “All those in favor of the resolnliou for the conversion of the world, purifying the cities and redeeming the musses and making everything all right say aye.” “Aye, aye!" say a thousand voices. “All opimsed—no."

We believe am i Jesus kept his promise. He said lie ca unot preach, people will not go to that God intended every church, like ev ery man, to lie individual, gathering up all its peculiarities and idiosyncrasies and hurling them all toward some good and grand object. In other words, no two churches ought ever to be just alike. Here is a church, for instance, whose ob ject it is to prepare philosophers and art ists and critics for heaven. Godspeed them in the difficult work! Here is a church, on the ot r hand, that projioses to bring only the poor into tin* kingdom of Jesus Christ, looking not after the rich. God speed such ; church in its undertaking! But then < a larger idea that a church may take— u inging in the rich and the poor, the wist -d the igno rant, the high and the low,. j that kneel ing beside each other shall Ik* the man faring sumptuously every day and the man who could not get his breakfast. God speed such a church! Oh, my friends, we need to break away from slavery to ecclesiastic 1 custom. We dare not sing if anylxKiy hears us. We dare not preach unles- we have rounded off our sentences to suit the criticism of the world. Wo dare not dress for church until we have •xainined the fashion plates and would r; thcr stay at home than appear with a con' or a hat not sanctioned by custom, \\ hen will theday of deliverance come tut he church of God, when, instead of a dead religion laid out instate on a catafalque i f jsiinp and insincerity, wo shall have a living, bounding, sympathetic, glowing Chris tianity? A Cliurcli, l remark, further, that wo have tried here to build and to conduct a ch rful church. While, as you know, we navo not held back the* terrors of the law and the sterner doctrines of the gospel, we have tried in this house to present to this people ibeidea that the gladdest, bright est, happiest thing in all the universe is the Christian religion. There is so niueh trouble in the world. Business men have so many anxieties. Toiling men have so many fatigues. Orphans have so many desolations. For God’s sake, if there Ik* any bright place on earth, show it to them! Let thechurch of Jesus t 'hrist be the most cheerful spot on earth. Let me say that I do not want anybody to come whining around me about the Christian religion. I have no faith in a religion made upof equal parts of-worm wood, vinegar and red pcpp<-r. If the re ligion that is presented to us be a depres sion, we will get along better without it. If it la* a joy, let it shine out from your ; tkco and from your conversation. If a man comes to my house to talk of re ligion with lugubrious countenance and pianiiey full of snifile and dolorousness. J feel like saying to my wife, “You had better lock up the silver before he steals something." 1 have found it an invari able rule that men who profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, priding them selves at the same time on their sancti moniousness. always turn out badly—1 never knew an exception—while those who are the most consistent, the most useful and the most consecrated have perfume in their conversation and heav- en in their face. The happiest Christians that I have pyer knpwu have l)c<-n persons from 60 fo WO years of age. By that time people get over the shams and the prep-nses of society and have no longer any patience with anything like inoc.sliire in religion, O Christian, how mire you he gloomy? Is not God your father? Is not Jesus Christ your Saviour? Has not your path all through life been strewn with mer cies? Are you insensible to the fact that there are glories a wait ing you in the bet ter land—doxologies of celestial wor ship, eternal chorals, tearless eyes, songs that resound under arches of strength and hosannas that clap their hands at the foot of the throne? Is it nothing to you that all the hills of that he would give her rest, and he has )j ear i,j m . If can, he has a im .sag* given her rest. Glory be to God for the from the Almighty, and I would have height, the depth, the length and the film deliver it. Look out )•-; w you inter- breudth of such Christian comfort! Oh, f e| .„ w -jth him. that we might have such joy as that Him* we have been together as pastor which inspired the men at the battle of an 4 people how many have been pro- Leuthen!

It is idl folly for us to try to do things the way they did -id or 100 years ago. We might as well be plowing with Elijah’s crooked stick, or go into battle with Saul’s armor, or prefer a canalboat to an express train, as to lie clinging to old things. What we most need now is a wide awake church. People who are out in the world all the week, jostling against this lightning footed century, come into tin* church on the Sabbath and go right to sleep unless they have a spir ited service. Men engaged in literary callings all the week, reading pungent, sharp writings, cannot 1m* exited to come and hear our ecclesiastical hum drum. If a man r.taysat home on Snndaysand reads the newspajH rs, it is because the newspajK-rs are more interesting. We need, my brethren, to rouse up and stop hunting with blank cartridges. The church of G<m1 ought to be the leader, the interpreter, the inspirer of the age. It is all folly for us to 1m* discussing old issues - arraigning Nero, hanging Absa lom, striking the Philistines with Sham- gar’s ox goad—when all around aliout us are iniquities to Im* slain. Did 1 say that the church ought to he abreast of the times? 1 take that back. The chunk of God ought to Im? ahead of the tin es—as far in advance as the cross of Christ is ahead of all human in vention. Paul was l.txjo years ahead of the day in which he lived. The swift footed years that have passed since Lu ther died have nut yet come up to Lu thers grave. Give iniquity 4,<KKl years the start, and the feet of Christianity are so nimble that if you will but give it full swing it will catch up and pass it in two bounds. The churcii of God ought to In* ahead of the times. A Mtunlt That < on vert*. I remark, further, that we have tried In re, in the love and fear of G<m], to build 4 church that would Im? characterized by conversions, I have heard of very good people who could preach on for 15 or !it» years and see no conversions, but yet have faith. It takes a very good man to do that. 1 do not know how a : an can keep bis faith up if souls are not brought to the Lord Jesus Christ. That church that does not bring men and women to the feet of tin* Saviour is a failure. I care not how fine the building, or how sweet the music, or how* eloquent the preaching, or how elegant the surround ings—it is a failure. The church of God was piade for just one thing—to get men out of fhe world into fbe kingdom ot heaven. The tendency in churches ts to spend their time in giving fine touches to Chris tians already |M>lisiied. We keep our re ligion too much indoors and under shel ter, when it ought to be climbing the rooks or hewing in the forests. Then it would be a stalwart religion, a robust religion, a religion able to digest the strong meat of the word, instead of be ing kept on the pap and gruel of spiritual invalidism. It is high time that we threw off the Sunday clothes of sickly senti mentality and put on the workday dress of an earnest, active Christianity, . ,. „ ... .. , .
