REV. DR. TALf.UDE'S SERMON. K ECHOES Or TBI MOUNTAIN. 7b Sermon as DallTsred by the Eloqntnl Brooklyn Divine. TlSTt "Th tnvndino aaain oflh mount. iin.''-Eieklcl vll. 7. At last I bar it. The Bible has in it recognition of all phrases of the natural world from tha aurora, of the midnight heaven to the phosphorescence of the tum bling sea. i'ot tha well known sound that we call the Kcho I found not nntil a few dny ago I discovered it in my text, "The founding again of the mountain." That l the Echo. F.r.eklel of the text hoard it again and again. Horn among mountain, an I In hU jour riey to distant exile, he bad pasted among mountain, e,tvi it wa natural that all through hia writings there should loom un the mountain. Among them he had hoard the sound of cataracts and of tempests in wrestle with onk and cedar, and the voices of wdd boast, but a mm of ao poetic a na ture n Ki'kicl could not allow another sound, via., the Kcho, tu be disregarded, and he gives ua in our text The sound ing a?nm of the mountain!." Uret-k mythology rnpresentel the Echo as a nymph, the daughter of Earth and Air, following 'arciu through forests and into grottonand erery whither, and so strange and wi'ird and startling is tha Kcho I do not wonder that the superstitious have lift! it Into the supernatural. You an I I In boy. bood r r girlhood experimented with this re epoi;svneof sound. Htandlng half way Ixtwivii tne house and b.rn, we shouted many tunes to bear the reverberations or cut among the mountains hack of our honus on route long tramp, wa stopped ami mads nomination with full lungs just to hear what Kfi-kiel calls "The sounding again of the mountains." The Kcho has frightened many a child an I many a man. It Is no tame thing after you liave spoken to hear the same word repented .y the invisible. All the silences are f iled with voice rrady to answer. Yet It would not be no startling if tbey said something else, tut wby do those lips of the air sny just what you say f Do they mean to mock or mean to please? Who are you and where are vmr. thou wondrous Kofio Hometim it response is a reiteration. The shot of a gun, til.' clnpping of the hands, the beating ot a drum, the voice of a violin are somo tunc repeated many times by the Kcho. Near Cnblentx thnt which i.s said ha seventi-en Kehoes. In 177H, a writer say that nenr Milan, Italy, there wore seventy ucli ic Mi ctions of sound to one simii of a uto'.

Yon meat on tha street or on tha road an old inhabitant of that neighborhood, and yon say. Can you tell ma anvtbins; about tha Peterson who nsed to live heref "Ye," says the old inhabitant; "I remomber them very well. Tba father and mother hare been dead for rears." "Well, bow about tha children? What has become of them?" Tha old inhabitant replies: "They turned out badly. Yon know the old man waa abont half an infidel and the boy were all Infidels. The oldest son marrinL but cot mto drinking habiu, and In a few years his wife waa not able to lira with him any long, er, and his children were taken by relatives, . ,ii9tl ot d'Urlum tremens on Black well s Island. His other son forged tba nania tf his employer and fled to Canada. "One of the daughters of tha old folks married an Inebriate with the idei of reform ing him, and you know bow that alwavs mils in tha ruin of lioth the experimenter and tha one experimented with. The other daughtor disappeared mysteriously and baa not been heard of. There was a young woman picked out of the East River and put in the morgue, aud some thought it waa her, but I cannot say." "Is It possible?" you cry out. "Yea, it is possible. The family Is a complete wreck." My hearers, that is Just what might bave been expected. All this is only the Echo, the dismal Echo, the awful Echo, the dreadful Echo of parental obliquity and unfaithfulness. The old folks heaps 1 up a mountain of wrong iniluennes, and this is only what my text calls "fho sounding of tha mountains." Indeed our entire behavior in thia world will bave a resound. While opportunities fly in a straight line and Just touch us once and are gone never to return, the wrongs we practice upon others fly in a circle, and they come back to the place from which they started. UfH'tor tiulllotine thought it mart to introduce the instrument of death named after him, but did not like it well when hi own head was chopjied nlT with the guillotine. to also the Ju Igment Tny will be an Echo of nil our other days. The universe need such a day, for there are to many things in thn world that tieed to be Axed lip and ex plained. If God had not appointed such a day all the nations would cry out, "Oh, Uod, give us a Judgment lay." Hutweare apt to think- of it and speik about it us a day away off in the future, having no spe cial connection with this day or any other day. Tne fact is that wh are now iimkiug un Its voices; its tnnnet will only sound tncii again to us what we now say uud do. That is the meaning ot all that scripture which says that Christ will on tint day nd dre? the soul, sayiiig. "I wan naked an I Ye clothed me; 1 wa sick aud in prison ami Ye Visited me." All the footsteps in that prison corridor as the Christian reformer walks too the wicket of the ini.-nrcernted, yea all the whiip rs of condolence in the ear of that poor soul dym iu that garret, yea all the kimlnoMsKs are In iug caught up aud rolled on until they dasii against the judgment throne and then they will be struck back into the ears of thesi sons and daughters of mercy. Louder than the crash of Mount Washington fnlling on Its face iu the world wide catastrophe, and the boiling ot the sea over the furnaces of universal conflagration will Ui tho Kcho an 1 re-echo of the goo I dee Is done mid the sym pathetic words utterc 1 and tho niihly bene faction wrought. hi that day all the charities, all the self sacrltlcles, all the philanthropies, all the lienellcent last wills an I testaments, all the Curintiau work of all the nge, will be iiilo-t up into mountains and thus.) who davo served Ood and served the sulTering human race will hear what my text styles "The sounding of the mountaius." My subject advances to tell you that eternity itself is only uu echo of time. Mind you, thu analogy warrants my saying this. The echo is not always exactly iu kind like the sound originally projected. Lord lit leigh says that a woman's voice sounding from a grove was returned an octavo higher. A scientist playing a ilute in Fairfax County, Va., found that all tho notes wore returned, although some ot them in a raised pitch. A trumpet sounded ten times near Glas gow, Scotland, and tha ten notes were all repeated, but a third lower. And the spir itual "law corresponds wiln. tua natural world. What we do of good or bu t may not come back to us iu just the proportion we expect it, but come, back it will; it may be from a higher gladness than we thought or from a deeper woe, from a mightier con queror or Irom a worse captive, from a higher throne or deeper dungeon. Our prayer or our blasphemy, our kindness or our cruelty, our faith or our unliolief, our holy life or our ilihsolute behavior, will come back somehow. KupHise the bos of a factory or thn hca 1 of a commercial firm some day comes out among his clerks or employes, and putting bis thumbs in the nruiholiu of his vest s iy.s, with mi air of swagger and J xjjaity: "Well, I don't beliovo in the llibie or Hie church. 'I hit one iii nn imjiositi m and tin) other is full of hypocrites. 1 deolnre I would nut trust onu of those very pious people further than I could s.'o him." That is ull h s iys, but he has said enough. The young m u go baclc to their counters or their shuttle an 1 sny within themselves, "Well, he is a su;. ccMifiil iiiaii and has probably studied up t'.u whole subject an 1 is probably right." That one lying utterance against lliblos an I churches h is put live youut men on the wrong track, and though the influential m m had spoken only In half Jut, thu echo shall come back to him in live ruiml lifetimes and five destroyed eternities. You see th Echoes are an octave lower thitu he antici pated. On the other hand, some rainy day, when there are hardly any customer, thu Christian merchant couios out from his counting room and stands among the young men who have nothing to do, and says: "Well, boys, this is a dull day, but it will clear oil after awhile. There am a gool mauy ups and downs in business, but fiere is an overruling 1'rovideuco. "Year ago I made up my mind to trust God aud He has always seen me through. I roiiieiuber when 1 was your age, 1 Im I ji'st comu to town and the toiuptations of city life gathered around me, but I resisted. The fact is there were two old folks out on the old farm pruying for me aud I knew it, and somehow 1 could not do as some of tliH clerks did or go where some of thu clerks went. 1 tell you. Isiys, it is lest always to do right, and there is nothing to keep onu right like the old fashionxl religion or .lusut Christ. John, where did you go to church last Kuniluy? Henry, how is the Young Men's C rislian uasociatiou prospering!'" About noon the rain ceises und the sun comes out and the clerks go to their places, and they any within tbomsolvest "Well, ba in a successful merchant and I guess ba knows what ha Is talking about, and the Christian religion must be a good thing. Ood knows I waut some help In this battle with temptation and sin." The successful tnerehaut who uttered tha kind words did not know how much good be was doing, but the echo will coma back in five lifetime of virtue and usefulness, and live Christian deathbeds and five heavens. From all tha mountains of rapture and all the mountains of glory and all the mountains of eternity, be will catch what Ezeklel iu my text styles The Boundiug; ajain of the mountains." Yea, I take a step further in this subject and say that our own eternity will lie a re verberation of our own earthly lifetime. What we are bere we will be there, only on a larger scale. Dissolution will tear down the body and embank it, but our faculties of mind and soul will go right on without tha besitancy of a moment aud without any change except enlargement and intensiAca. tiou. There will be no more difference tbau bet wean a lion behind tho iron bars and a lion escaped into tba field, between an eagle in a cage and an eagle iu the sky. Good bere, good there; bad bere, bad there. Time ia only a bed war fed eternity. Eternity is only an enlarged time. Iu this life our soul Is In dry dock. Tba raomeut wa leave thu life wa ara launched for our groat voyage, and we sail on tor cen turies quintilliou, but tha ship does not etiauga iu fundamental structure alter it guts out of the dry dock, it dons not pass from brig to schooner or from scboouer to man-of-war. What ws ara when launched from this world wa will ba in tha world to exuna. On, Oodf by Thy converting and sanctifying spirit make as right here and now that wa may be right forever I "Well," says some one, "this Idea of moral, spiritual and sternal Kcho is ne to me. Is there not some way of stopping this Echo" My answer i. "tkxl can and He on ly." If II Is a cheerful Kcho wa do not want it stopped ; if a baleful Kcho wa would like to have It stopped. Tba hardest thing in the world to do 1 to stop an Kcho. Many an oration has been spoiled and many an orator confounded by an Echo, Costly churches, cathedral, theatres and music halls have been ruined by an Echo. Architects have strung wires across auditoriums to arrest the Echo, and bung upholstery against the walla, hoping to entrap It, and hundreds ot thousands of dollars have been expended in puolio build ings of this country to keeti the air from answering when it ought to be quiet. Aristotle and I'ythagoras ana Isaac New ton and La I'iace and our own Joseph Henry tried to bunt down the Echo, but still the Unexplored realms of acoustics are larger than the explore j. When our first Brook lyn Tabernacle waa being constructed, we were told by architects that it was of uch a shape that the human voice could not be beard In It, or, If heard, it would ba Jangled into Kchoue. In state of worrimnt I went to Joseph Henry, the president of Hmithsoninu Insti tution at Washington, and told him of this evil prophccy.aml he repllol: "I have proba bly experimented mart with the law of sound than any other mon, and I have got as far as this. Two buildings mav seem to he exactly alike and yet in one tho acoustic mnv be g;ood and In the other lad. (loon witn your cimr. h l.uu,iui and trust that all will lie well." Oh, this mightv law of soundl Oh, this subtle Echo I There is only one lio Ing In the universe that thoroughly under stands tt "l'lie sounding again of the mountain." And If it is so hard to destroy a natural Kchu, how much harder to stop a moral Echo, a spiritual Echo, an Immortal Kcho. You know that the Echoes are affected by the surfaces, and the shape of rocks, and tho depth of ravines, and the relative toi tion of buildings? Aud once in heaven Uod will o arrange the relative position of mansions and temple and thrones that one of the everlasting charms of heaven will be the rolling, bursting, nstvn ling, defending, chanting Echoes. All the song we ever sung devoutly, all the prayers we have ever Uttered earnintly, nil the Christian deed we have ever Mono will be waiting to spring upon us in Echo. Tho scientist tell u that In this world the roar of artillery and tho boam of the thunder are so loud, because they are a combination of Echoes all tho hillsides, and the cavern and the walls furnishing a share of the re sonance. And never will we understand the full power and music of an Echo until with supernatural faculties able to endure them we bear all the mnjoinod sounds of heavenly Echoes harps and truui't, orchestra mid oratorio, hoxanuuh and hallelujah, east side of heaven answering to thu went side, north side to south side, and all tho heights, aud all the depth, and all the immensities, nn I all thn eternities join Ing In K'-ho upon Echo, Echo iu tho wake of Echo. In the future state, whether of rapture or ruin, we will listen for reverlxiratiorn nf earthly thing ami doing. Voltaire stand ing amid tho shadows will listen, end from the millions whose godlesNiics and libertin ism and debauchery were a consequence, of his brilli mt blasphemies will come back a weeping, wailine, desiring, agonizing, million-voiced Echo. loul will, while standing in tho light, listen, and from nil the circles of tho ransomed, an I from nil the ninny mansions, whom he helpisl to people, nnd from nil the throne bo helped to oivu (units, and from nil the gate he IhIhI throng with art ivnls, and from all the tem ple lie hu!Mt till with worshipers there shall come back to him n glorious ever ac cumulating, transKrting aud triumphant Echo.

Dr. Norman Kerr, the famous tumiwranet physiciau of Ioudon testilles as follow to the nientul effects of alcohol : "J'he reason J bave insisted so strongly on tho physical part of the question is that, in making ols nervations on dead bodies, 1 have constantly found iu the skulls of those who drank cer tain conditions.
