XteWilt Tftlmage's Return His BJ-ooklyti nook. ■to Opwilai IMaraarw One rail of FromIMS •!' Good Thing*—A « Era of Castes "" — - laisMIe* to bo Sscosedsd by Joys Without Number. Th# B-ooklyn pastor returned to bis flock fllti'd with enthusiasm born ot his Western tonr. HU opening discourse was on tie subject ot ‘"Tisb Sunrise,” bis test beitg: The da] is at hand. -Rodina, sill.. IS. Back f rpm the mountains and the sea* side, aid the springe, and the farm* house, your cheek bronsed and your spirits lighted. I hail you home again with the words ot Gebaii to the Shunara* mite: "Is it well with thee? Is it well with th? husband? Is it well with the child?” On souse facer I see the mark ot redout grief, hut all along the^rack of tears I nee the story of resurrection and reunion, when all tears ore done; the deep pi iwing of the keel, followed by the flash ot the phosphorescence. * How that 1 hare asked you in regird to your welfare, you naturally ask how I am. Very well, thank you. Whether it wae the bracing air of the Colorado mountains twelve thousand feet above the level of tint tea, or the toulo atmosphere »f the TaciBo toast, or a bath in the sur[ of Long Itlaud beach, or whether it U the joy of standing ra this great group of' warm-hearted friend*, or whether it ie a uew appreciation of the goodue ss ot God. 1 ciu not tell. 1 simply know l am grandly and gloriously uud inexpressibly happy. It was said ibat John Moffat, the great Methodist preacher, occasionally got fast iu his sermon, and to extricate himself would cry: “HallelujahI” 1 am iu uo such predica• msnl to-day, but I am full of the same rhapsidlc ejaculation. Starling out this morning on a new ecclesiastical year, I want 1o give you the key-note of my next twelve months' ministry. I want to set it to the tune of Autioch, Ariel and Coronation. Some Min# ago we had a new atop put iu this organ—a uew trumpit stop—and 1 want to put a new trnrnpA slop Into my sermons. In nil onr Christian work yon and 1 want more of the element of gladness. That man has no right .to say that Christ never laughed. Do yo» suppose that He was glum at the wedding in Cana of Galilee? Do you suppoeo that Christ was unrcs|Kiasive whou the children clambered over Hlu knee and shoulder at Uis own Invitation? Do you suppose the i? svangollst meant uothiug when he eaid of Chi 1st: 'Tile rejoiced in spirit?" Do you baiters that the divine Christ who pours all the water over the rocks at Verna! falls, Yosemitc, does not believe In the sparkle and gsllop and tumultuous joy and rushing raptures of human life? I believe not only that the morning laughs, and that the mountains laugh, and tiat the seas laugh, aud that the cascades laugh, but lha' Christ laughed. Hon over, take a laugh and a tour into an alembic, and assay them, aud test thi-ni, and analyte tbrrn, and you wilt often f ud as much of the pure gold of religion toa laugh as iu a tear. Deep spirituanoy always shows itself iu facial illumination. John Wesley said he was sure ol a good religious Impression being produced because of what he calls the great laughter he saw among the people. Godless merriment is blasphemy auywhere, but expres^u of Christian joy ts appiopriate srery where. Moreover, the outluok of the world ought to stir tit to gl iduess. Astronomers recently disturbed.many people 1>> telling them that there Is dauger of stellar ool is ton. IVe have'beeu told through the pipers by these astronomers that there are wor ds coming very uear to-gether-and that we shall have plague*, and wars, and tumults, amf perhaps the world’i destruction. .Do not be scared. If you have aver stood at a railroad center, where leu. or twenty, or thirty rail tracks cross each other, aud seen that by the movement of the switch by pne or two' inches the train shooti this way and that, without colliding, tlieu you may understand how Bfij .world i may come within au inch of disaster, aud that inch lie as good as a million miles. If a humau switch-leader can snoot the I ruins tuis way aud that wilho it harm, can u<-t the Hand that for thousands of years has upheld the universe keep onr little world out of harm's way? Christian geologists tell us that this a orld wai millions of years iu building. 'Well, now, 1 do not think Mod would take millions of years to build a bouse which was to last only six thousaud years. There is nothing in the world or outside the world, terrestrial or astroncmi -at, to excite dismay. I wish that toms stout Gospel breese might scatter all the jnalanaot human foreboding. The sun rose this moruiui; at about half-past five i Vlock, and 1 think that U just about the liour in the world’s history. “The day is at hanl"

Te aged men, whose sons fell in the strife, do yon not think that would bate been better!1 Oh yes I we hare came to believe, I think, in this country, that arbitration is better than battle. I may be mistaken, bat I hope that the last war between Christian nations is ended. Barbarians may mix their warpaint, and Afghan and Zulu hurl poisoned arrows, but I think Christian na • lions hare gradually learned that war is disaster to v|ptor as well as vanquished, and that almost any thin; bought by blood is bought at too dear a price. I wish to God this Nation might be a model of willingness for arbitration. No need of killing another Indian. No need of sacrificin'; any more brave General Custers. Biop exasperating the rediuen, aud there will bo uo more arrows shot but from the reservation. A General of the United States army, in high repute throughout this laud, and who, perhaps, has been in more Indian wars than any officer, and who has been wounded again and again in behalf of our Government in battle against the Indians, told me that all the wars that had ever occurred between the Indians and white men hod beeu provoked by white men, and that there was no exception to the rule. \Vhil<%re aro arbitrating with Christian nations, let us toward barbarians carry ourselves iu a mauner uuprovocative of contest. 1 inherit a large estate, and the waters are rich with fish, and the woods are songful with birds, and my eoro-fieids are silken aud golden. Here is my sister’s grave. Out yonder, uuder that large tree, tuy father died. An tuvader comes, and proposes to drive me off and take possession of my property. He crowds me back, he crowd* me on, and crowds me into a closer corner, and still closer corner, until’after awhile 1 say: "Blaud back: don’t crowd me any more, or i’ll strike. What right have yon to come here aud drive me off of my premises? 1 got this farm from uiy father, and | he got it from his father. What right have you to come hero and molest tne?” You blnndiy say: “Oh, I know more than you do. 1 belong to a higher civilisation. I cut my hair shorter than you do. 1 could put this groundto a great deal better use than you do.” Aud you keep crowding me back and crowding me into a closer corner and closer corner, until one day I look around upon my suffrriug family, and, fired by their hardships, 1 hew you in twain. Forthwith all the world comes to your fuueral to prououuco etiloglum; comes to my execution to auatbematixe me. You are the hero; I am the culprit. Behold the United States Government and the North American Indian! The red tnau has stoud'more wrougs than 1 would, or you. would have struck sooner, decider. That which is right in defense of a Brooklyn home or a New York home U right iu defeusc of a home on top of the Rocky mountains. Before this dwindling red race dies completely out, I wish that this generation might by common justice atone for the inhumanity of tu predecessors. Jo the day of God’s judgment I would rathor there be a blood-smeared M• >doc than a swindling ft.'nued Slates officer on an iudian reactivation! Une man vis a barbarian and a \|ivagc, aud never jpreteuded to be any thing but a barbairian aud a savage. The other man pretended to be a representative of a Christian nation. Notwithstanding all thijs, the general disgust with war, and the substitution of diplomatic skill for the gjlittering edge of keeu steel, is a sign unmistakable that “the day is at hand. ” I find another ray of the dawu la the compression of the world’s distances. What a slow, snail like, almost impossible thing would have been the world’s rertifieatbui with one. thousand four huu-* dred million of population and no facile means of communication; but now, through telegraph for the eye and telephonic intimacy for the ear, and throngb steamboat mg- aud railroading, the twen-ty-five thousand utiles of the world’s circumference are shriveling up Into iusigutficnul brevity. Houg K lug is nearer to New York lhau a few years ago New Haven was; Bombay, Moscow, I Madras, Melbourne, within speaking dis- I tauce. Purchase a telegraphic chart, and by the blue lines see the telegraphs I of the lind, aud by the red lines the cables under the ocean. You see what opportunity this is going to give for the final movements of Christianity, A fortress may be mouths or years in bonding, but after it is constructed it may do all its work in twenty minutes. Christianity ha* been pliauting its batteries for niueteen centuries, aud may go on in the work through other centuries; but when those batteries are thoroughly planted, those fortresses arc thoroughly built, they may all do their work in tweulyfour hours.,

With the earth and the sky full of electricity, science took five^mousaud Vight hundred years before lfeveu guessed that there was auyi'praciieal use that might be made of this subtle and mighty element. When good men take possession of all these scieuti^c forces, and all these-agencies of iuveution, I do not know that the redemption of the world will be more thaa the work of half a day. Do we not read the Queen’s speech at the proroguiug of Parliament the day before iu Loudon? If that be so. is it any thiug marvelous to believe that iu twenty-four hours a divine communiraiiou can reach the whole earth? Suppose Christ should descend ou the nations—many expect that Christ will come among the nations |>ersonally —suppose that to-morrow morning the £ou of Uod from a hovering cloud should descend upon these cities. Would not that fact be known the world orer in twenty-four hoars?

I tell yon all these things to show you it is not among the impossibilities or even the improbabilities that Christ will conquer the whole earth, and do it iustantcr, when the time comes. There are foretokenlngs in the air. Something great U going to happen. I do not think that Jupiter is going to ruu us down or that the axle of the world is going, to break; but 1 mean something great for the world’s blessing and not for the world’s damage is goiug to happen. 1 think the world hns had it hard enough. Enough, the Londou plagues. Enough, the Asiatic choleras. Enough, the wars. Enough, the shipwrecks. Enough, the couflaisratums. 1 think our world could stand right well n prouessioa at prosperities and triumphs. Better he on the lookout. Better have your observatories opsu toward the heavens and the lenses of your most powerful telescopes well polished.

work until wo hare settled one matter. Wbat is going to be the final tasne of this great contest between sin and righteousness f Which is going to proTe himself the stronger, God or Diabolnsf Is the world going to be all garden or all desert! ft ow let us haTe that matter settled. If we believe Isaiah and Esekiel and Hoses, aud Micah and Unlachi, and John and Peter, and Paul and Christ, we believe that it is going to be all garden. But let us have this settled. Let us know whether we are working on toward asucoess or toward a dead failure. If there is a child in your house sick, and you are sure he is going to get well, you sympathise with present pains, but all the foreboding is gone. If you are in a cyclone off the Florida coast, and the captain assures you the vessel is stanch and the winds are changing for a better quarter, and he Is sure he will bring you safe into the harbor, you patiently submit to present distress with the thought of sate arrival. Now, I want to know whether we sure coming on toward a dismay, darkness and defeat, or on toward light and blessedness. Ton and 1 believe the latter, and if so, every year we spend is one year subtracted from the world’s woe, and every event that passes, whether bright or dark, brings us ona event nearer a happy consummation, and by ail that is inexorable in chronology and mathematics, 1 commend yon to good cheer and courage. If there is any thing in arithmetic, if you subtract two from live and leave three, then by every rolling sun we are coming on toward a magnificent terminus. Then every winter passed is one severity less for *nr poor world. Then every summer gone by brings us nearer unfading arborescence. But youv algebra dowa on the top of your Bible and rejoice. If It is nearer morning at three o’clock than it is st two, if it is nearer morning at four o’clock than it is at three, then we are nearer the dawn of theiworld’a deliverauce. God’s clock seems to go very slow • ly, but the pendulum swings and the hands move, and ii will yet strike noon. The sun and the moon stood still once; they will never stand still again until they atop forever. If you believe arithmetic as well as your Bible, you must believe we are nearer the dawn. "The day is at hand." There is a class of phe nomena which makes me tbiuk that the spiritual and the heavenly world may, after awhile, make a demonstration in this world which will bring all moral and spiritual things to a climax. Now 1 am no spiritualist; but every intelligent man has noticed that there are atraugs and mysterious things which iudff'ate to him that perhaps the spiritual World is not so far off as sometimes we conjecture, and that after awhile from the spiritual aud heavenly world there majBte ademonstra lion upon our world for its betterment. We call it magnetism, or we call It mesmerism, or we call it electricity, because we want some term to cover up our ignorance. I do not know wbat that is. 1 never heard an audible voice from the other world. 1 am persuaded of this, however, that the vail between this world and the next is getting thinner and thinner, and that perhaps after awhile, at the call of Uod—not at the call of the Davenport brothers or Andrew Jackson Davis—some ol the old scriptural warriors, some of the spirits of other days mighty for God—a Joshua, or a Caleb, or a David, or a Paul—may come down and help us lu this battle against unrighteousness. . Oh, bow I would like to have them here —Him of the Red Sea, Him of the Valley of Ajalon. Him of Mars Hill. History says that Robert Clayton, of the English cavalry, at the rloae of a war, bought up all the old cavalry horsesJeast they be inrued out to drudgery and h£?d work and bought a piece of ground at Naversmire lleath aud turned these old war horses into the thickest and richest pasture to spend the rest of their days for what they had done In other days. One day a thunder-storm came up. and these war horses mistook the thunder of the skies for the thunder of battle, and they wheeled into line—no riders on their backs—they wheeled into line ready for the tray. And 1 doubt me whether, when the last thuuder of this battle;for God and truth goes booming Ithrough the Heavens, the old scriptural warriors can keep their places on their throue. Melimits they wijj.spring into the fight and exchange crown for helmet, aud palm branch for weapon, nud come down out of the King's galleries iuto the arena, crying: “Make room! 1 mast fight in this great Armageddon.’’
