*lt h said that the Czar Is deeply touched at the generosity and sympathy express6d by America for his subjects. It does not appear possible that he will ever have an oppor"* tunity of reciprocating this kindness, but when his father showed a friendship for this country thirty years ago, it did not seem that we should ever have a chance to repay it. It is ithpossible to foresee the exigencies that time may bNng atxnft. Senator Morrill, of Vermont, who is very ill, is the oldest senator tn Washington and probably the eldest who has ever held a seat in that body, having left his eightieth birthday far behind. The oldest member of the house was John Quincy Adams, who was stricken with paralysis while occupying his teat and died February 23, 1848 tged eighty-one. There are a num' her of men in the Senate at present who are well along in the seventies.

The general postoffice bill, which kas passed the Senate, will hardly set through the House. It authorizes »he construction of a Federal buildtig in every city or town where the fross postal receipts for the three preceding years have exceeded $9,100, and have not gone beyond $90,. ITO.- The cost of building and grounds is to be proportionate to these receipts, and is in no case to ixcee£ $75,000. fH———» 4. The bribery disclosures in Chicago’s Board of Aidermen seem to have itarted an epidemic of investigation. Prom a number of cities come reports of members of municipal govtruing boards who have plucked up tourage to tell what they know. It tardly can be said that these revelations are in the nature of a surprise, lor the people in the various cities lave long had reason to believe such things were being done, but a thor. »ugh exposure and punishment in a iew cases might have the effect of purifying the atmosphere in a number of places. It would be a good thing to inject a little wholesome fear if the law into bodies of municipal tontrol.

One of the singular results of the Russian famine, and one which is puzzling the economists for an expiation, is the dhormous increase in the number of marriages in the afflicted districts. The theory most commonly advanced to account for this matrimonial “boom” is that the fees charged by the priests for performing marriages have been greatly .essened. The priests find it more Jifficult to get a living than in bountiful seasons, and have, accordingly, reduced their rates so as to bring marriage, so to speak,* within the means of the humblest citizen. 'Formerly the regular price was five rubles. It is now 50 copecks, and the various attendant expenses have also been jurtailed. Persons who have been sontemplating marriage at some time in the near future, are. therefore, induced to scrape a few copecks to- , gether and have the ceremony per formed now, taking advantage of famine prices.

Senator Peffer’s first measure to polish poverty has been presented to the world. It is a bill to tax all estates worth over $1,000,000 upon a rapidly indreasing so that those who have effects valued at over $10,000,000 must pay 18 per cent. The tax will, as the Senator estimates, "bring $1,750,000,000 a year into the treasury, which is to be divided among the States, ope-third on the ratio which each State’s valuation is to the valuation of the whole, one-third on the basis of population, and the remaining third in the proportion of each State’s area to the area of the whole. When the States get this money, they must devote it to paying pensions to the soldiers of the late war, and the difference between their pay as soldiers and gold, with compound interest. This done a portion of the remainder must be devoted to building canals, improvng and extending the mileage of navigable rivers, and establishing a system of first-rate country roads. The remainder yet remainingis to be, devoted to the support of a 'national guard. ; riST ' N ■ 1 J=s== A Massachusetts * paper declares that a Natick shoemaker walked to Boston and home, pursuing his trade on the way, and brought back with him nearly SIOO in cash and a wife be had wooed and won on the way, _ |

THE THREE TABERNACLES

Dr. Talmage is Tired of Continued Falsehood. A Retort in Word* of Fiery Eloquence to —— the Falsehood* of the Enemlee of Hie Church. v Sunday Rev. Dr. Talmage celebrated the 23rd anniversary of his settlement in Brooklyn. His subject: “The Three. Tabernacles—A Story of Trials and Trjumpihs.” Text, Luke ix, 33; He said, in part: The first Brooklyn Tabernacle was dedicated in 1870 and was destroyed by fire in 1872. The second Brooklyn Tabernacle Was dedicated in 1874 and destroyed by fire in 1889. The third Brooklyn Tabernacle was dedicated in'April. 1891, and in that we Se worst iping to-day. What soundabsurd for Peter to propose, when he said on Mt. Hermon, in the words of my text, “Let us_buil<Lthree-Tab-ernacles/’yve have not only, but, in the mysterious providence of God, were comoelled to do.

We have been unjustly criticised sometimes for putting so much money in. church, buildings, and sometimes for not giving as much as we ought to this or that denominational project, and no explanation has yet been made. BeforeM get through with the delivery of this sermon and its publication-and distribution, I shall show that no'cfiurch on earth has ever done more magnificently, and that no church ever conquered more trials, and that no membership ever had in it more heroes and heroines than this Brooklyn Tabernacle, and I mean to have it known that any individual or religious newspaper or secular newspaper that hereafter casts any reflection on this church’s fidelity and generosity is guilty of a wickedness for which God will hold him or it responsible. One year it was sent out through a syndicate of newspapers that this church was doing nothing in the’ way of liberality, when we had that year raised $94,0Q0 in cash for religious uses. There has been persistent and hemispheric lying against this church. We have raised during my pastorate, for church building and religious purposes, $998,000, or practically $1,000,000. Not an Irish famine, or a Charleston earthquake, or an Ohio freshet, or a Chicago conflagration, but our church was the first to help. We have given free seats in the morning and evening services to 240,000 strangers, and that in eight years would amount to 4,800,000 auditors- We have received into our membership 5,357 members, and that is only a small portion of the number who have been here converted to God from all parts of this sand and from other lands. Under the blessing of God, and through the kindness of the printing press, my sermons now go every week into every neighborhood in Christendom, and are regularly translated into nearly all the great languages of Europe and Asia-

The syndicates having charge of this sermonic publication informed men few days ago that my printed sermons every week, in this and otft?, er lands,go into the hands of 25,000,- f 000 people. During the last year, I am authoritatively informed, over 2.000 different periodicals were added to the list of these which make this publication. And yet there are ministers of the Gospel and religious newspapers that systematically and industriously and continuously charge this church with idleness and selfishness and parsimony. I call the attention of the whole earth to this outrage that has been heaped upon the Brooklyn Tabernacle, though a more cohsecrated. benevolent and splendid convocation of men and women were never gathered together outside of heaven.

I h&ye never before responded to | these injustices, and probably will never refer to them again, but I wish j the people of this countryland other I countries to know that what they read concerning the selfishness and ’ indolence, and lack of benevolence and lack of missionary spirit on the j part of this church is,,. from top to ' bottom and from stem* to stern, j falsehood —dastardly falsehood—diS- ' bolical falsehood. What is. said j against myself has no effect, except, I like that of a coarse Turkish towel, j the rubbing'down by which improves j circulation and produces good health. ' But this continuous misrepresenta- ! tion of my beloved church, in the. name of Almighty God, I denounce, while I appeal to the fair minded , men and women, to see that justice is i done this people, who in the last few j years have gone through a struggle I that no other church in my land or in any age has been called to endure, and I pray God that no other church may ever be called to endure, viz., the building of three tabernacles. I ask the friends of the Brooklyn Tabeynacle to cut out this sermon from the newspapers and put it in their pocket-books, so that they can intelligently answer our falsifiers, whether clerical or lay. And with these you may put that other statement which recently ft ent through the country and which 1 saw in Detroit, whiph said .that the Brooklyn Tabernacle had a hard financial struggle because it had all along been paying such enormoys Salaries to its pastor, Dr. Talmagfvwpen the fact is that, after our last disaster and for. two years, I gave all my salary to the Church Building Fund, and I.ffeceived $6,000 less than nothing; in other words, in addition to serving the church gratuitously for two years I’ let it have $6,000 for building purposes. Why is' it that people could not do us justice and say that all our financial ,struggle as a church came from doing what Peter, in my text, absurd-

y proposed toedo, but which, in the inscrutable providence of God. we were compelled to do —build three tabernacles. Now, I feel better that this is off njy mind. The rest of my sermon will be spun out of hosannahs. I announce to 2ou this day, that we are at last, as a church, in smooth waters. Arrangements have been made by which our financial difficulties are now fully and satisfactorily adjusted. Our income will exceed our out-go. and Brooklyn Tabernacle will be yours and belong to you and your children after you. ami any thing you see contrary to this ' you may put down to the confirmed' habit which some people have got of misrepresenting this church and they -cannot stop. When I came to Brooklyn I came to a small church and a big indebtedness. We are now the largest Protestant church in America, and financially as a congregation are worth, Over and beyond all indebtedness, considerably more than $150.000. '

Yes, twenty-three years have passed since I came to live in Brooklyn, and they have been to me eventful years. It was a prostrated church to which I came, a church so flat down it could drop no farther. Through controversies' which would be useless to rehearse it was wellsigh extinct, and for a long while- it had been without a pastor. But nineteen members could be mustered to sign a call for my coming. As a committee was putting that call before me in an upper room in my house in Philadelphia, there were two other committees on similar errands from other bhurches in other rooms, whom my wife was entertaining and keeping apart from unhappy collision. The auditorium of the Brooklyn church to which I come defied all the laws of acoustics: the church had a steeple that was the derision of the town, and a high box pulpit which shut in the preacher as though he were dangerous to be let loose, or it acted as a baracade that’ was unnecessary to keep back the people, for they were so few that a minister of ordinary muscle could have kept back 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 then,, and on the evening of that day my own brother, through whose pocket I entered the mystery, died, and the tidings of his decease reached me at 6 o’clock in.the evening, ”as I was to preach at 7:30. But from that day the blessing of God was on us, and in three months we began the enlargement of the building. Before the close of that year we resolved to construct the first Tabernacle.

It wasi to be a temporary structure and therefore we called it a Tabernacle instead of a Temple. What should be the style of architecture was the immediate question. I had always thought the amphitheatrical shape would be appropriate for a church. Two distinguished architects were employed and, after much hovering over designs, they announced to us that such a building was impossible for religious purposes as it would not be churchly, and would subject themselves and us to ruinous criticism; in other- words, they were not ready for a revolution in church architecture. Utterly dis-, heartened as to my favorite style of architecture. I said to the Trustees: “Build anything you please, and I must be satisfied.” But one .morning a young architect appeared .at my house and asked if we had yet selected a plan for our church. I said “No, and what we want we can not get “What style of a building do you want?” he asked. And taking out a lead pencil and a [ letter envelope from my pocket. On Sunday morijing in December, ’ 1872; the thermometer nearly i down to zero, I was on my way to I church. There was an excitement : in the street and much smoke in the air. Fire engines dashed past. But ■ my mind was on my sermon I was ( about to preach, until some one i rushed np and told me that our : church was going up in the same ; kind of chariot that Elijah took from the banks of the Jordon.

That “Sunday morning tragedy, with its wringing of hands and frozen tears on the cheek of many thousands standing in the street, and the crash that shook the earth, is vivid as though it were yesterday; But it was not a perfect loss. All were , anxious to do something, and, as, on I such occasions sensible people are | apt to do unusual things, one of the | members, at a risk of his life, rushed in among the fallen walls, mounted upon the pulpit and took a glass of water from the table and brought it in safety to the street. So you see it was not a total loss. Within an hour from many churches came kind invitations to occupy their buildings, and hanging against a lamp-post, near the destroyed building, before 12 o’clock that morning, was a board with the inscription: “The congregation of Brooklyn Tabqrnacle will worship • to-night in . Plymouth church., Dr. Talmage then relates with much pathos the trials attending the adoption of the plans and erection of a new chruch. In less than a minute,, .by a few curved lines, I indicated in the rough what we wanted. “But,” I said, “old architects tell us it can’t be done, and there is no use in your trying.” He said, “I can do it. How long can I have to make out the plank?” -1 said, “This evening at 8 o’clock everything is to be decided.” At 8 o’clock of that evening the architect presented bis plans, and the bids of builder and mason were' pr esented, and in five minutes afte the plans were presented they were unanimously adopted. So that I would not be in the way of the Trustees during thework I went to Eu-

rope, and when I got back the church was well nigh done. But here came in. a staggering hinderance. We to pay for the new church by the sale of the old building. The old one had.been sold, but just at the time we mus"t have the money the purchasers backed out and we had two churches and no money. By the help of God and the indomitable and unparalleled energy of our Trustees (here and there one of them present today? but the most in a better world), we got thd building ready for consecrationy:and on September 25, 1870, morning and evening dedicatory services were held, and in the afternoon the children, with sweet and multitudinous voices, consecrated the place to God. Twenty thousand dollars were raised that day to pay a floating debt. On a Sabbath in October. 1889, I announced to my congregation that I would in. afew weeks visit the Holy Land, and that the officers of the church had consented to my going, and the wish of a life-time 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 thunder-storm had left the air full of electricity, and from horlzon everything seemed to blaze. But that did not disturb me, until an ob servation taken from the cupola of my house declared that the second Tabernacle was putting on redwings' 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 and clearly defined in the night the fiery catafalque of our second Tabernacle. When I saw that, I said to my family; “I think that ends my work in Brooklyn. Surely the Lord will not call a minister to build three churches in one city. The building of one church generally ends the usefulness of a pastor, how can any one preside at the building -of three churches? But, before twenty, four hours had passed* we were compelled to cry out with Peter of my text, “Let us build three taberWe must have a home somewhere. The old site had ceased to be the eenter of our congregation, and the center of the congregation, 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 the latter. But what push, what industry, what skill, what self sacrifice, what faith in God, were necessary. Impediments and hinderances without number were thrown in the way, and had it not been for the perseverance of our church officials and the practical help of many people and the prayers of millions of good souls in all parts of the earth and the blessings of Almighty God, the work would not have been done. But it is done, and all good people who beh. Id the structure. feel in their hearts, if they do not utter it with their lips, “How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts.” On the third Sabbath of last April this church was dedicated. Dr. Hamlin, of Washington, preached an inspiring sermon, Dr. Wendall Prime, of New York. offering the dedicatory prayer, and some fifteen clergymen, during the day, taking part in the services. Hosannah! After a while’came an ecclesiastical trial, in which I was arraigned by people who did not like the way I did things, and although I was acquitted of the charges, the contest shook the American Church. That battle made me more friends than anything that ever happened, and gave and Christendom, and more than Christendom, for my weekiy audience. On the demolition of each church we got a better and larger church, and not a

disaster, not a caricature, not a persecution, not an assault, during all these twenty-three years, but turned out for our advantage, and ought I not to believe that “all things work together for good?” Hosanna!. Another lesson I have learned during these twenty-three years is that it is not necessary to preach error or pick flaws in the old Bible in order to get an apdience. Next to the blessing of my own family, I account the blessing that I have always had a "great multitude to preach to. That old Gospel I have* preached to yOu these twenty-three years of my Brooklyn pastorage, and that old Gospel I will preach till I die, and charge my son, who is on the way to the ministry, to preach it after me, for I remember Paul’s

thunderb©lt: “If any man preach any; other Gospel, let him be accursed. ” j And now, as I stand here on my twenty-third' fnnivecsary, I see two audiences. The One is "made up of all those who have worshiped with us in the past but have been translated to higher realms. But the other audience I see in imagination is made up of all those to whom we had opportunity as a church, directly or indirectly of presenting the Gospel. Yea, all my parishes seem th come back to-day." Look at them, and all those whom, through the press, we have invited to God and heaven, now seeming to Sit in' galleries a thousand galleries high. I greet them all in your name and in Christ’s name, all of whom I hat e confronted from my first sermon in my firsjfj village charge, where my lips'trembled and my knees knocked together from fright, speaking from the text, Jeremiah i, 6; “Ah, Lord God, behold I cannot speak, for I am a 'child. ” . ; i .
