THE BIBLE STILL THE DBAWIXG CAED
TerCCIAt. TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.
IlUOOKLYN, April a This is a festival
day at the Tabernacle. Dr. Talmage is cele
brating the 23d anniversary of his settle
ment in Brooklyn. In white flowers em
bedded in green at the back of the pulpit
stood the inscription, "1869 and 1892." Dr.
Talmage's subject was, "The Three Taber
nacles; a story of trials and triumphs," and
his text, Luke 9: 33, "Let us make three
tabernacles. "
Our Arab ponies were almost dead with
fatlzue, an. In Deoember, 1889, wo rode near
the foot of Jlount Hormon In the Holy Land,
the mountain called by one "a mountain
of ice:" by another "a glittering Dreastplato
of lec;' by another "the Mont Blano of
Palestine." Its top has an almost un
earthly brilliance. Bur, what must it have
been in the time to which my text reiers.
Toter and James and John were on that
mountain top with Jesus, when, suddenly,
Christ's face took on the glow of the noon
day sun, and Moses and Elijah, who had
been dead for centuries, came out from the
heavenly world and talted with our Saviour.
What an overwholminc threel Moses,
reprcsentine tne law. Elijah, representing
the prophets, and Christ, representing all
worlds. Impetnons Peter mi no wrought
upon by tlie presence of this wondrous
three, that, without waiting1 for time to con
sider how preposterous was the proposition,
he cried out: "Lot us make three taber
nacles; one for Thcc, one lor Moses and ono
for Elijah." J
Three Tabernacles Unlit In Brooklyn.
And, yet, that is what this congregation
have been called to do and have done. The
first Brooklyn Tabernacle was dodicatedin
ISTOand destroyed by Are in lS7i The second
Brooklyn Tabernacle was dedicated in 1874
and destroyed by fire in 1869. The third
Brooklyn Tabernacle was dedicated in April,
1S91, and in that wo are worshiping to-day.
We have been unjustly criticised by peo
ple who did not know the facts, sometimes
lor puttinc so much money in church build
ings, and sometimes for not giving as much
as wc ousbt to this or that denominational
project, and no explanation has yet been
made. Before I get through with this ser
mon I shall show that no church erer con
quered moie magnificently, and that no
church ever conquered more trials, and that
no membership ever had in it more heroes
nnd heroines than this Brooklyn Tabernacle,
and I mean to have it known that any indi
vidual or religious newspaper or secular
newspaper that hereafter casts any reflec
tion on this church's Sdclitv and generosity,
is guilty of a wickedness for which God will
bold him or it responsible.
One year it was sent out through a syndi
cate of newspapers that this church was
doing nothing in tbo way of liberality,
when we had that year raised $94,000 in bard
cah for religious uses. There has been per
sistent and nemisDUeric lying against this
church. We have raised during my pastor
ate, for church building and i eligious pur
poses. $998,000 or practically $1,000,000. Xot an
Irish famine, or a Charleston earthquake, or
an Ohio frehet, or a Chicago conflagration,
but our church was among the first to help.
At Last In Good Financial Shape.
I announce to you this day, that wo aro at
last, as a church, in smooth waters. Ar
rangements have been made by which our
financial difficulties are now fully and satis
factorily adjusted. Our income will exceed
our outgo, and Brooklyn Tabernacle will bo
yours and belong to you and your children
after you, and anything you see contrary to
this you may put down to the confirmed
habit which some people have got of mis
representing this church and they cannot
stop. When I came to Brooklyn, I came to
a small chnrch and a bir indebtedness. We
own this, the largest Prottsstant church in
America, and financially as a congregation
w e are worth, over and beyond all indebted
ness, considerably more than $110,000.
1 have preached here S3 years, and I ex
pect, if my life and health are continued, to
preach here 23 years longer, although we
will all do well to remember that our breath
Jsin onr nostrils, and any hour we may be
called to give an account of our steward
ship. 1 cs, 2S years have passed since I came to
live in Brooklyn, and tuey have been to mo
eventful years. It was a prostrated church
to which 1 came, a church so flat down it
could drop no further. Through contro
versies w hich it would be useless to rehearse
it was well-nigh extinct, and for a Ions
while it had been without a pastor. But 19
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
bouse in Philadelphia, thoy were two other
committees on similar errands from other
churches in other rooms, whom my wife was
entertaining and keopinc apart from un
happy collision.
The First Edifies "Was a 1'oor O ne.
The auditorium of the Brooklyn church to
which I came defied all the laws of acous
tics; 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 danscrous to bo let loose, or it acted as
a barricade 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 w as a sad
day, for 1 did not realize how far the church
was down until then, and on the evening of
that day my own brother, through whoso
pocket entered the ministry, 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 dav the blessinc of God was
on us, and in three months we began the en
largement of the building.
Before the close of that year we resolved
to construct the first Tabernacle. It was to
be a temporary structure, and, therefore,
we called it a Tabernacle instead of a Tem
ple. What should bo the style of archi
tecture was the Immediate question. I had
always thought that the amphithcatrical
shape would be appropriate lor a church.
Two distinguished architects were cm
ployed, and, after much hovering over de
signs, they announced to ns that such a
building was impossible for religious pur
poses, as it would not bo churchly, and
would subject themselves and us to ruinous
criticism: in other words, they were not
ready for a revolution in church archi
tecture. Utterly disheartened as to mv fa
vorite style or architecture, I said to "the
trustees: "Build anything you please, and
I must be satisfied."
A Progressive Architect Found.
But ono morning a yonng architect ap
. peared at my house and asked if we had yet
selected a plan lor our church. 1 said: "So,
and what we want we cannot get." "What
style of building do you want?" he asked.
And, taking out lead pencil and a letter en
velope from my pocket, in less than a min
ute, 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 plans?" I said: "This evening at 8
o'clock everything is to be decided."
At 8 o'clock or that evening the architect
piesented his plans, and the bids of builder
end mason were presented, and in five min
utes alter the plans were presented they
w ere unanimously adopted, bo that I would
not be In the w ay ol the trustees during the
work, I went to Europe, and when 1 got
back the church w as w ell-nigh done. By
the help of God and the indomitable and
unnaialled energy of our trustees (here and
there one of them present to-day, but the
most in u better world), we got the building
ready for consecration on Septembers, 38Tu.
Twenty thousand dollars were raised that
dav to pav a floating debt.
Ten million jears In heaven will have no
power to dim my memory of the glorious
times wo had in that first Tabernacle, which,
because ot its Invasion of the usual style or
chuich architecture, was called by some
"Talmage's Hippodrome." by others,
"Churcli or the Holy Circus," anil by other
mirthful nomenclature.
The Handsomo 'ew Cliurch,Zegtroyed.
One Sunday morning, in December, 1872,
the thermometer neatly down to zero, I was
on my way to chnrch. There was an excite
ment in the street and much smoke in the
air. Fire engines dashed past. But my
mind was on the sermon I was about to
picach, until someone rushed up and told
me that our church was going up in the satno
kind of chariot that Elijah took from the
banks or the Jordan. That Sunday morning
traccdy, with its wringing ot hands, and
frozen tears on the cheek ot many thousands
sundlng in the street, and the crash that
shook the earth, is as vivid as though It were
yesterday. But It was not a perfect loss.
All were anxious to do something, and as
on such occasions sensible people are apt to
do unusual things one of the members, at
the risk of his life, rushed in among the
fallen walls, mounted the pulpit and took a
glass of w ator from the table and brought It
In safety to the street. So you see it was not
a total loss.
"Arise and build," said many volcesf An
other architect took the amphitbeatrical
plan of a church, which, in the first instance,
was necessarily somewhat rude, and de
veloped it Into an elaborate plan that was
immediately adopted. Bnt how to raise the
monev for such un expenaivo undertaking,
was the question. At last, after, in the In
terregnum, having worshiped In our beau
tiful Academy of Music, on the morning or
February 22, 1874, the anniversary of tho
Washington who conquered Impossibilities
and on the Sabbath that always celobrates.
tho resurrection, Dr. Byron Sunderland,
Chaplain of the United States Senate,
thrilled us through and through with a
dedicatory sermon.
Dr. Talmage Drops Into Autobiography.
As an anniversary sermon must needi be
somewhat autobiographical let mo aay 1
hare not been idle. During the standing of
those two Tabernacles 62 books, under as
many titles, mado up from my writings,
were published. During that time, also, I
was permitted to discuss all the great ques
tions of the day In all the great cities of this
continent, and in many or them many times,
beside preaching and lecturing 98 times In
England, Scotland, and Ireland, in 94 days.
During all that time, as well as since, I was
engaged in editing a religious newspaper,
believing that such a periodical was capable
of groat usefulness, and I have been a
constant contributor to newspapers and
periodicals.
Meanwhile all things had become easy in
the Brooklyn Tabernacle. On a Sabbath
in October 1889, I announced to my congre
gation that I would In a few weeks visit the
Holy Land, and that the officers of the
church had consented to my going, an the
wish or a lifetime was about to be fulfilled.
The next Sabbath morning, about 2 o'clock
or justarter midnight, a member of my
household awakened me by saying that
there was a strange light In the sky. A
thunderstorm had left the air lull of elec
tricity, and from horizon to horizon every
thing seemed to blaze. But thatdid not dis-
turo me, until an ooservauon tajtcu uuui
the cupola or my house declared that the
second tabernacle was putting ou red
wings. I scoatod the Idea andturned over
on the pillow for another sleep, but a num
ber or excited voices called me to tho roof,
and I went up and saw clearly defined in
tbo night tho fiery catafalque of our second
Tabernacle.
The Third and Last Tabernacle Built.
When I saw that, I eatd to my family; "I
think that ends my woilc la Brooklyn.
Surely the Lord will not call a minister to
build three churohes In one city. The build
ing of one church generally ends the useful
ness of a pastor, how can any one preside at
the building of three churches?" But before
24 hours had passed, we were compelled 'to
cry out, with Peter of my text, "Let us build
three tabernacles." We must have a home
somewhere. Tho old site had ceased to be
the center of our congregation, and the
center of the congregation, as near as we
could find it. is where we now stand.
HavliuT selected the BDOt. should we build
ou 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 skiU, -what
self-sacrifice, what tatth in God, were neces
sary. Impediments and hindrances without
number were thrown in the way, and had It
not been for the perseverance of our church
officials nnd the practical help ot many peo
ple and the prayers of millions of good souls
in all parts of the earth and the blessing of
Almighty God, the work would not have
been done. But it is done, and all good peo-
Jilo who behold the structure, feel in their
learts, 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, preaching an inspiring sermon.
Dr. Wendell Prime, of New York, offering
tho dedicatory prayer, and some IS clergy
men, during the day, taking part iu the
services. Hosannah!
The Old Gospel Is Still Popular.
Another lesson Ibave learned during these
23 years is that it is not necessary to preach
error or pick flaws in the old Bible in order
to got an audience The old Book without
any fixing up is good enough for me, and
Higher Criticism, as it Is called, means
Lower Eelfcrion. Higher Criticism is another
lorm oi innueiuy. ana its aiscipies will be
lieve less and less, until many of them will
land in Xowheie, and become the worship
ers of an eternal "What-ls-it?" The most of
these Higher Critics seem to be seeking
notoriety by pitching Into the Bible. It is
such a brave thing to strike your grand
mother. The old Gospel put in modern
phrase, and without any of the convention
alities, and adapted to all the wants and
woes of humanity, I have found tho mighti
est magnet, and we have never lacked an
audience.
Next to the blessing of my own family I
account the blessing that I havealway had
a great mnltitnde of people to preach to.
That old Gospel I have preached to you
these 23 years of my Brooklyn pastorate, and
that old Gospel I will preach till I die, and
charge my son, who is on the way to tne
ministry, to preach it after me, for I le
member Paul's thunderbolt: "If any man
preach any other Gospel, let him be accursed."
Prevent the. Grip
Dr. Cyrus Bdson, of the New Tork Board
of Health, says that to prevent the Grip, you
should avoid exposure in inolement weather
and keep your -strength up, your blood In
good condition, and your digestive organs
n regular action. The tonlo and alterative
effects of Hood's Barsaparills, so happily
meet the last three conditions, that with the
protection given by this medicine you need
not fear the Grip.
HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA
Is an Inexpensive medicine and a. single
bottle may save you many dollars In doctors'
bills and muoh suffering.
A Firm "Grip"
"One year ago I was taken down sick with
'the Grip,1 and my whole system seemed
completely run down. I could not sleep or
eat. X friend of mine advised me to try
Hood's Bart aparllla. So I did. I used four
bottles and in two months I was a well man.
I think so much of
HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA
That I keep it on hand all the time." Ctra
