REV. DR. TALMAGE, | on 'N DIVINE'S SUN. SERMON. Suliject: “The Baptism of Fire." TeXT: “None of these things move me." — Acts xx,, M4. The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., preached at the Brooklyn Academy of Mu- sic, his first sermon after the destruction of the Brooklyn Tabernacle by five. His au dience was of vast size, and public interest was extraordinary. The opening hymn was: God moves In a mysterious way His wonders to perform He plants His footsteps In the sea, And rides upon the storm Dr. Talmage's subject was of Fire," and he said; But, Paul, have you not enough afiction to move you! Are you not an exile from Your native land* With the most genial and oving nature, have you not, in order to be free for missionary journess, given yourself to celibacy? Have you not turned away from the magnificent worldly succe os that would have crowned your illustrious genius Have you not endured the sharp and stinging neuralgins, like a thorn in the flesh? Have you not been mobbed on the land, und ship- wrecked on the sea; the sanhedrim against you, the Koman Government against you. all the world and all hall against you? “What of that? says Paul, these things move me™ It was not becan he was a hard nature. Gentlest woman was never more easily dissolved into tears. He could not even bear to see anvbody ery, for in the midst of his sermon when he saw some one weeping her sobs aloud, “What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for [am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus What then did Paul mes when he said, “None of these things move me He meant, “I will not be diverted from the work which I have been called Ly any and all tl adversities and ealamities.’ think this mor 5 not only my own feeling \ and little Tabernacle, or comforted there toward the consecrated sg in a loving Ge things move m When 1 have no fe ing here it would be to sit down amon of David “The Baptism “None of ' t io 3 I, woman Brooklyn shi or blessed blackena! ruins of from the day morning at flames, 1 said ing from which that cold Decom all Brooklyn And it was give up vour up ours Why that still cov our affection cannot pile but nas indestructibl organ had a soul speak and sing and the soul of that « lel, and Hay in. and Beetho ome it Ss d tin a heart ny our work by the vel Mu our determination and everias Il We may Move inch for the present all the people wi “None of these these things move When 1 looked from the roof church crumbling by timber, I said to ms that my work in Bi this termin my a where [ have been glad in all its prosperities misfortunes™ And aot but most emphati pressure of hand, ar telegram and Jette in Go forward ™ | have made and I now make appeal to all Christendom to help us. We want all Chris. tendom to help, and I will acknowledge the receipt of every contribution, great or small with my own hand. We want to build larger and better. We want it a national church, in which people of all creeds and all nations may find 8 home. The already sent in make n small hearted church forever impossible. Would not 1 be a sorry spectacle for angel ned if. in a church built by Israelites and Catholics, as As all the styles of people commonly call U8 plieal, 1 should, instead of the banner of the pred God Almighty, raise a flatter Ny small sectarianism? If we had three hundred thousand dollars we would put them all in one great monument to the mer of God Wu it thr I SWEDa per and rel 1 contributions ' contribntions en well fey People ask on all sides about what we shall build. I answer, it all depends on the contri butions sent in from here and from the ends of the earth. say now to all the Baptists, that we shall havein it a baptistery, 1 say to all Episcopalians, we shall have in our services as heretofore at our communion table por tions of the Liturgy. I say to the Catholics we shall have a cross over the pulpit and probably on the tower, | say to the Metho dists, we mean to sing there like the voices of mighty thunderings. 1 say to all denomi nations, wo mean to preach a religion as wide as heaven and as good as God. We have said we had a total loss. But there was one exception. The oaly things we saved were the silver communion chalices, for they hnppstud to be in another building, snd | take that fact as typical that we are to be in communion with all Christendom. ‘I be- Heve in the communion of saints” I think, if all the Brooklyn firemen and all insurance companies should search among those ruins on Schermerborn street, they would not find a splinter large as the tip end of the little finger marked with bigotry.
