BROOKLYN, Ma^S?-This was one of
the greatest <k%g??~' the history of the
Brookij-n TaB^acfe^^he music, in?
strumental and congregational, was of
the most joyous tvperiihe hymns, the
prayers and the se^ion^orere celebrative
of the enti^ext?Tf^ishment of the float?
ing debt of ip4^<fc0* accumulated from
the d?sasters'sy?id? required the build?
ing of three immense churches. Text.
Exodus xv, 20, 21: "And Miriam, the
prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took z.
timbre: ic her hand, and ali the women
?went ont after her with timbr?is and
with dances. And Miriam answered
them? "Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath
triumphed gloriously; the horse and his
rider hath he thrown into the sea."
Sermonizers are naturally so busy in
getting the Israelites safely through the
parted Red sea and the Egyptians sub?
merged in the returning waters that ont
little time is ordinarily given to w?at
the Lord's people did after they got well
tip high and dry on the beach. That j
was the beach of the Red sea, which is
at its greatest width 200 miles and at its j
feast width 12 miles. Why is the ad- 1
jective 'Ted" used in describing this
water? ft is called the Red sea because !
the mountains on its western coast look j
98 though sprinkled with brick inst, and i
the water is colored with red seaweed
and has red zoophyte and red coral.
This sea was cat by the keels of Egyp?
tian, Phoenician and Arabic shipping. It
was no in signiScanl pond or puddle on
the beach of which my text calls us to
stand. 1 hear upon it the sound of a
tambourine, for which the timbrel was
only another name?-an instrument of
xausic made out ?of ? circular hoop, with
pieces of metal fixed in the sides of it.
svhich made a jingling sound, and. over
?which hoop a piece of parchment was
?distended, and this was beaten by the
?mickies of the performer.
The Israelites, standing on the beach
<of the ReS sea, were making music on
their deliverance from the pursuing
^gyytians, and I hear the Israeli tish, men
with their deep bass voices, and I hear
the timbrel of Miriam as 6he leads the
xromec in their jubilee. Rather live?y
instniments, you say, for religious serv?
ice, the timbrel or tambourine. But I
ithink God sanctioned it. And I rather
.think we will have to put a little more
?of the festive into our religious services
and drive out the dolorous and funereal,
and the day may come when the timbrel
.will resume its place in the sanctuary.
But that which occupied the attention
cf afl the men and women of that Israel
?tisb host was the celebration of their
victory. They had crossed. They had
triumphed. They were free.
Kore wonderful was this victory and
defeat than when the hosts of Richard
.overcame the hosts of Saladin at Azotus,
than when at Bannockburn Scotland
?as set free, than when the Earl cf
Northumberland was driven back at
Branham Moor, than when at the battle
of Wakefield York was slain, than when
at Bosworth Field Richard was left
dead, than when the Athenians under
Miltiades at Marathon put the Persians
to flight, for this victory of my text was
gained without sword or catapult or
spear. The weapon was a lifted and
prostrated sea. "And Miriam, the proph?
etess, the sister of Aajpn, took a timbrel
in her hand, and all the women went out
after her with timbrels and with dances.
And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to
the Lord, for he hath triumphed glori
?usry; the horse and his rider hath he
thrown into the sea."
- A GLORIOUS TRiLJiiM.
Brooklyn Tabernacle today fee?3 much
as Moses and Miriam did when they
stood on the banks of the Red sea after
their safe emergence from the waters.
By the help of God and the generosity of
<flar friends here and elsewhere our $140,
fOOO ve?? floating church debt is forever
gone, and this house, whiqh, with the
?round upon which it stands, represents
$410,090. J this day reconsecrate t$> God
?he Father, God .the Son and God the
Holy Ghost A stranger might ask how
.could this church get into debt to an
.amount that would build several large
churches?" My answer fa, Wave3 of de
Ifcruction, stout as any that ever rolled
across the Red sea of my text.
Examine all the pages of church his?
tory and all the pages of the v&rld's his?
tory and show me an organization, sa?
cred or secular, that ever had to build
three great structures, two of them de
stroyed by fire. Take any of your big
gest life insurance companies, or your
biggest storehouses, or your biggest
banks, or your biggest newspaper estab?
lishments and let them have to build
three times on the same foundation, and
it would cost them a struggle if not
demolition. My text speaks of the fred
sea once crossed, but one Red sea would
not have so much overcome us. It was
with U3 Red sea after Red sea. Three
Red seas I Yet today, thanks be to
God, we stand cn the shore, and with !
organ and cornet in absenee of a timbrel |
we chant. "Sing ye unto the Lord, for he j
kath triumphed gloriously; the horse and j
his rider hath he thrown into the sea."
But why the great expense of this
structure? My answer is the immensity
of it and the firmness of it. It cost over
$34,000 to dig the cellar before one stone
was laid, reaching as the foundation does
from street to street, and then the build?
ing of the-house was constructed in a way.
we are told by experienced builders who
ha4 nothing to do with it, for durability
of foundation and wall such as charac?
terizes hardly any other building of this
city. To the day of your death and
mine, and for our children and grand?
children after us, it will stand here a j
house of God and a gate of heav n.
For me personally this is a time of
gladness more than tongue or pen or j
typo can ever teil. For 24 years I bari j
been building churches in Brooklyn and i
seeing them barn down until I felt 1 j
could endure the strain no Longer, and 1 i
had written my resignation as paster :
and had appointed io read it two Sab?
baths ago and close mywodb in Brook- :
ipi forever. 1 felt that my chief work
was yet. to be done, but that I could act
do it with the Alps on one shoulden an*! I
the Himal ayas on the other. But God !
has interfered, and the way is citar, and '
J am here and expect to be here u ?ri] j
my work on earth is done.
Why should i want to ga away (rom j
Brooklyn? I have no sympathy with the ;
popular sentiment which defames our
beloved city. Some people makeit apart
pf their religion to excoriate and belittle :
Hie place of their residence, and there has
been more damage, financial and >u< ral,
done to our city by this hypercritieism
than can ever be estimated. The course
of our. city has been onward ?nd upward
We have a citizenship mu. J up of hun- I
dreds of thousands of as good naen und.
women as inhabit ike earth, and I feel
honored in being a citizen of Brooklyn,
and pro]K>se to stay here until 1 j ?in the '.
aopuJcition in the Silent City out y >nd< r,
how all abloom with spring flowers
sweet types of resurrection!
My thanks must be first to God an
then to all who have contributed b
large gift or small to this emancipation
Thanks to the men, women and childre
who have helped, and sometimes helpe
with self sacrifices tliat I know mus
have won the applause of the heavens
If you could only read with me a few c
the thousands of letters that have com
j to my desk in The Christian Herald ol
fcce, you would know how deep thei
sympathy, how large their sacrifice ha
been. "I have sold my bicycle and no's
send you the money,'* is the language c
one noble- young man who wrote to Th
Christian Herald. "This is my de&
son's gjft to me, and I have been led t
send i* to you," writes a mother ii
Rhode island.
A blind octogenarian invalid in York
Pa., sends his mite and bis prayer
Thanks to all the newspaper press
Eave you noticed how kind and sympa
thetic all the secular newspapers hav
been, and of course all the religiou
newspapers, with two or three nasty es
copiions? You say that sometimes news
papers get things wrong. Yes, but whicl
of us does not sometimes get thing
wrong? If you want to find a man wh<
has never made a mistake, do not wast*
your time by looking in this pulpit
Thanks to the editors and reporters an<
publishers. Gentlemen of the Brooklyi
and New York printing press, if yoi
never report anj-thing else that I say
please to report that. Yes, I see you ar<
getting it all down.
A NEW DEPARTURE.
As a church we from this day mak<
new departure. We will preach inon
instructive sermons. We will offer mor<
faithful prayers. We will do betta
work in all departments. We will ii
the autumn resume our lay college
We will filial! the rooms of thismagnifi
cent pile with work for God and suffer
mg humanity. More prayers have beer
offered for^this church,"and on botl
sides the sea, than for any church thal
has ever existed, and all those prayers
will be answered. Clear the track foi
the Brooklyn Tabernacle! "Sing ye tc
ilie Lord, for he hath triumphed glori?
ously; the horse and his rider hath he
j thrown into the sea."
But do you not now really think that
j the Miriam of my text rejoiced too soon:
! Do you not think she ought to have
; waited till the Israelitish host got clear
over to Canaan before she struck her
knuckles against the timbrel or tam?
bourine? Miriam! You do well to have
the tambourine ready, but wait .a little
before you play it. You are aot yet
through the journey from Egypt to the
Promised Land. You will yet have lo
drink out of the bitter water of Marah,
and many of your army will eat so heart?
ily of the- fallen quails that they- wOl elis.
of colic, and yon sriU at the foojfc?f Sinai
be scared with the thunder, "sad there
will be fiery serpents in the way and
many battles to fight, and last of all the
muddy Jordan to cross. Miriam! I have
no objections to the tambourine, but do
not jingle its bells or thump its tightened
parchment until you are ali inrongm
Ah, my friends, Miriam was right, ff
we never shouted victory till we got
clear through the struggles of this life,
we would never shout at all. Copy the
habit of Mi: I m and MoseS. The mo?
ment you get a victory celebrate it. The
time and place to hold a jubilee for the
.safe crossing of the Red sea is on its
beach and before you leave it. It is aw?
ful, the delayed hosannahs, the belated
halleluiahs, the postponed doxologies,
the trains of thanksgiving coming in so
long after they are due!
It is said, do not rejoice over a revival
too soon, for the new members might not
hold out. Do aot thank God for the
money you made today, for tomorrow
you might lose it all and more. Do not
be too grateful for your good health to?
day, for tomorrow you may get the
grip. Do not be too glad about your
conversion, for you might fall iron: grace.
Do not rejoice too scon over a church's
deliverance, because there might be dis?
asters yet to come. Oh, let us have no
more adjourned gratitude!
The time to thank God for a rescue
from temptation is the moment after you
have broken the wine flask. The time
to thank God for your salvation is the
moment after the first flash of pardon.
The time to l>e grateful for the comfort
of your bereft soul is the first moment of
Christ's appearance at the mausoleum of
Lazarus. The time for Mrriaaas tam?
bourine to sound its most jubilant note
is the moment the last Israelite puts his
foot on the sand on the parted inland
ocean. Alas, that when God's mercies
have such swift wings our praises should
have such leaden feet!
MIRIAM'S SQN?.
Notice that Miriam's song in my text
had for its burden the overthrown cav?
alry. It was not so much the infantry
or the men on foot over whose defeat she
rejoiced with ringing timbrel, but over
the men o-i horseback-.-r-the mounted
tromps! "The horse and his rider hath
he thrown into the sea." There is some?
thing terrible in a cavalry charge. You
see it is not like a soldier afoot, thrusting
a bayonet or striking with a sword, using
nothing but the strength of his own mus?
cle and sinew, for the cavalryman adds
to the strength of his own ann the awful
plunge of a steed at full gallop. Tre
??endous arm of war is the cavalry!
Josephus says that in that host that
crossed the Red sea there were 50,000
cavalrymen. EpaminoncUs rode into
battle with 5,000 cavalrymen and Alex?
ander with 7.COO. Marlborough depended
pn his cavalry for the triumph at Blen?
heim. It was not alone the snow that de?
spoil!. <1 the French armies in retreat from
Moscow, but th? mounted Cossacks. Cav- j
aliymen decided the battles of Leuthen j
and Leipsic and Winchester and Hanover j
Court House and Five Fortis. Some of you
may have been in the relentless raids led
on by Forrest or Chalmers or Morgan or
Stuart of the southern side, erPieasanion
or Wilson or Kilpatrick or Sheridan of
the northern side. The army saddles are 1
the thrones of buttle. Hurricanes in
stirrups are the cavalrymen.
No wonder that Miriam was chiefly j
grateful that the Egyptian cavalrymen, ;
Dursuing the Israelites down to midway j
tbe Red sea, ?vere unsaddled, unstirruped,
unhorsed. Miriam struck the center of j
the tambourine with the full force of her j
right hand when she came to that bar of j
the music, "The horse and his riderhath .
hethrowu into tho sea." Ah, my friends, |
it is the mounted troubles that wc most j
Gear. The little troubles we can endure
the cinder ia the eye, the splinter under j
the nail, the thorn in the foot, the social j
slight, the mean liing, thc invidious com- i
parison or the remarks that snub.
The annoyances and vexations on foot 1
W<M;;:: conquer, but alas for the mount
ed disasters, the bereavements, the bank- I
rn] tcies. the persecutions, the appalling :
sicknesses that charge upon us, as it ;
were, with uplifted battleax or consum- i
vng rimnderbolt of \.<:w< r. There arel
th? se among my bearers or readers who
have had a whole regina nt of mouuted j
disasters charging np m them. But fear i
not. The smallest horsefly on thc neck ;
of pharaoh's war charger, passing be- ?
tween the crystal palisades of the up- j
heaved Red sea* was not moro easily :
drowned by the tailing waters than the :
.'.'>.<:.-.;o helmetedand plumed riders on thc
hacks of the50.0GO neigldng-andcapari
sone I war chargers.
And I have r-> tell you, O child of
God, tba? the Lor.!, who is on your sid?*
now and forever, has nt his disposal and ;
under his command all waters, all wrad -,
.?all lightnings, all time and all eternity.
Come, look rae in the face while I nt te
the word God commands me to speak tc
yon, "No weapon formed against you
shall prosper." Don't throw away your
tambourine. You will want it as sure
as you sit there and I stand here, and tho
tune you will yet play on it, whether
standing on beach of time or beach of
eternity, will be the tune that Miriam
played when she cried, "Sing ye to the
Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider hath he thrown
into the sea."
I expect to have a good laugh with you
m heaven, for the Bible says in Luke, sixth
chapter, tw-enty-nrst verse, "Blessed are
ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh."
We shalLnot spend all eternity psalm
singing, but sometimes in review of tho
past, as Christ says, we shall laugh.
There is nothing wrong in laughter. It
all depends on wl^t you laugh at, and
when you laugh, and how you laugh.
Nothing, il seems, will more thoroughly
kindle our heavenly hilarities after we
have got inside the pearly gate than to
see how in this world we got scared at
things which ought not to have fright?
ened us at all.
How often we work ourselves up into
a great stew about nothing! The Rec
sea before may be deep, and the Egyp?
tian cavalry behind us may be' well
mounted, but if we trust the Lord we
will go through no more hurt by the
water than when in boyhood we rolled
our garments to the knee and barefoot
crossed the meadow brook on the old
homestead. The odds may seem to be
all against you, but I guess it will be all
right with you if you have God on your
side and all the angelic, cherubic, se?
raphic and archangelic kingdoms. **If
God be for you, who can be against
your"
Lay hold of the Lord in prayer, and
yon will go free, as did Richard Cecil
with ?20 of missionary money in his sad?
dlebags, and the highwaymen grabbed
his horse by the bridle and told him to
deliver, and he prayed God for safety,
and suddenly one of the robbers said:
"Mr. Cecil, I once heard you preach.
Boys, let the gentleman go."
AN IDEA OF HEAVES.
But let me criticise Miriam a little for
the instrument of music she employed
in the divine service on the sandy beach.
Whynot take some other instrument?
The harp was a sacred instrument. Why
did she not take that? The cymbal was
a sacred instrument. Why did she not
take that? The trumpet was a sacred in?
strument. Why did she not take that?
Amid that great host there must have
been musical instruments more used in
religious aerviee. No. She took that
which she liked the best and on which
she could best express her gratnlation
over a nation's rescue, first through the
retreat of the waxes of the Red sea, and
then through the clapping of the hands
of their destruction. So I withdraw my
criticism of Miriam. Let every one take
her or his best mode of divine worship
and celebration. My idea of heaven is
that it is a place where we can do as we
please and have everything we want. Of
course sre will do not??ng wrong and
want nothing harmful.
How much of the material and phys?
ical will finally make up tb 2 heavenly
world 1 know not, but I think Gabriel
will have his trumpet, and David his
nari), and Handel his organ, and Thal?
berg his piano, and the great Norwegian
performer hisviolin, and Miriam her tim?
brel, and as I cannot make music on any
of them I think I will move around
among all of them and listen. But there
are our friends of the Scotch Covenanter
church who do net like musical instru?
ments at all in divine worship, and they
.need not have them.
I tell Duncan and McLeod and Bruce
they need never hear in heaven a single
string thrum, or a single organ roll. We
will all do a3 we please in that radiant
place if through the pardoning and
sanctifying grace of Christ we ever get
there. What a day it will be when wo
stand on the beach of heaven and look
back on tho Red sea of this world's sin
and trouble and celebrate the fact that
we have got through and got over and
got up, our sins and our troubles at?
tempting to follow gono clear down un?
der tho waves.
Oh, crimson floods, roll over them and
drown them, and drown them forever!
What a celebration it will be-our resm>
rected bodies standing on the beach
whose pebbles are amethyst and emerald
and agate and diamonds! What a shakr
ing of hands! What a tallang over old
times] What a jubilee! What aa op?
portunity to visit! In this world we
have so little time for that, I am looking
forward to eternal socialities. To be
with God and never sin against him. To
be with Christ and forever feel his love.
To walk together in robes of white with
those with whom on earth we walked
together in black raiment of mourning
To gather up the members of our scat?
tered families and embrace them with no
embarrassment, though all heaven be
looking ou.
TOGETHER AT TTIE LAST.
A mine in Scotland caved in and
caught amid the rocks a young man
who in a few days was to have been
united in holy marriage. No one could
get heart to tell his affianced of the
death of her beloved, but some one made
her believe that he had changed his mind
about the marriage and willfully disap?
peared, fifty years passed on, when
one day the miners delving in the earth
suddenly caine or* the body of that young
man, which had all those years been
kept from the air and looked just as it
was the day of the calamity. Strong,
manly, noble youth, ho sat there looking
as on the day he died. But no one
recognized the silent form.
After awhile they called tho oldest in- i
habitants to come and seo if any one !
could recognize him. A woman with !
bent form and her hair snowy white with
years came last, and looking upon tl it
silent form that had been so completely
preserved gave a bitter cry and fell into
a long swoon, lt was tho one to whom
half a century before she was to have
been wedded, looking then just as when
in the days of their youth their affec?
tions had commingled. Lut the emotion
