CHAT.
With this chat I tend New Year greeting to all
the hand. How ple»t*»nt it would be to have a
Brand reunion do*n !•* -e in the balmy south'
Now when the raili. *.ds are in the handsof our
Arcadian theorists ai d the United States divid
ed into circles we can get nominal rates and
apend our holidays together.
The year is opening and most of us are plan
ning for the future.
I heard a dear little woman, one of those he
roines that the world knows not of, just befoie
the late conference, sAy:
“Where will you live next year, Mollie; do you
think conference will change jour home?”
“1 don’t know, dear; we wilt feel unsettled
until after it adjourns, of course.”
“Well, you have the advantage. The church
always receives jou kindly, while I drift upou
the waves of speculation. I have really made
live homes, plamed flowers and hoped to end
my days in some; but a good price will cer-
ainlj influence Frank. 1 always dread new
neighbors.”
These words made such au impression on me,
I am here to put the question to each of you:
Who will be your ntigLbt rs, who will be in
fluenced?
Is your home just where it wasflive years ago*
and are the changes imperceptible, and are you
just the same?
Five years ago’ Just think of yourself then,
perhaps just wheie life’s realities were thrust
upou you, or a happy child that m other called
her blossom and father his sunshine. Has the
bloom been smirched or are you a soulless
japonica to whom homage is paid but love is
reserved for a younger one that the mother
heart turns to for balm and forgetfulness?
Father’s sunshine! Clouds come o’er every
horizon, the knew ledge that the sun still shines
cheers the heart and the gloom is transient; or,
have you proven the agent of destruction and
scattered the happy family to the uttermost
parts?
Who are your neighbors? The rich and pow
erful who can prove a stepping stone to your
heights of ambition, or the fatherless and the
widow who have so little of this world’s pleas
ure?
Life has not the alluring pleasures, perhaps.
You feel “a loss in all familiar thiugs.” Then
6€ek some poor, broken-hearted one, and com
fort them. Remember the One whose birth we
lately celebrated, and, in tbe sympathatic
words that bade you look not in tbe tomb, bring
comfort to the bereaved and lind “peace in
love’s unselfishness.”
Dear ones, wLere’er thy steps may tend my
earnest wish shall be that the leaven of His life
may keep you pure and holy, aud if our meet -
ing is not here—we have eternity.
Mother Hubbard.
happy voices, they look into each other*s eyes
a look that says little to those around them, hpt
to each other, so much! They are the happiest
of all.
The dinner comes. They gather around the
table, inviting with its white linen and dainty
viands, a dinner prepared almost wholly by tbe
little wife’s bands. Every head is bowed and
Grandpa’s feeble voice arises in true thanksgiv-
ing.
The afternoon glides away—the hours are
short when hearts are happy—the time for de
parture conies. Once more the husband and
wife staud side by side as they receive tbe good
byes and kind words.# *• * *'
“Such a pleasant day!” each heart had voiced
Not one of them had ever spent a pleasanter
day!
l'ou have made it so bright for me ’ said
lonely Mrs. Dare. ‘ During tbe long wink
nights 1 shall have its brightness to look bac'

tears in her eyes

Mother Hitspakh: If 1 have come again too
soon you must blame Chrysalis, for it is her last,
letter that brings me. She seems pleased to dis
cover in Estelle a Kentuckian, and 1 should
like her to kuow that 1 too am one (and very
proud of that fact am I.)
Chrysalis, I am all the more interested in you
because 1 recently spent a uigbt at Crescent
Hill, My borne is nearly a hunored milts from
yours, lull was visiting in the country near
the capital of the state and with a large crowd
1 went liom ibeie to Louisville to see ' Tbe
fcateilites of Mercury.” The eve of October 1st
we went by train the short distance to the beau
tiful suburb of Kentucky’s chief city, where we
remained until next day. With my friends I
stopped at tbe home of Sirs. U., and after tea
she allowed one of my cousins and me to ac
company her to prayer-meeting. It was held iu
the village tchool room and there were not
many present; the sunoundinas were not as
hands< me or beautilul as t ome 1 have seen, but
yet 1 do not remember when 1 have been more
Impressed than by the earnestness and zeal dis
played by some of the members
The preacher took as his text: “Examine
yourselves whether ye be in the faith.” We
professed Christians are so apt to fly to God for
help in time of adversity and to forget Him
wheniheseaof life is smooth, ho often, too,
we are inclined to thank Him that we are ‘ not
as other men” forgetting we are but human
and may fall unless we keep in close commu
nion with our Lord.
Merle Monte, 1 know a very few ^>eople in
your city. Wonder if we have any mutual
acquaintances.
Mother, if I have stayed too long, forgive me,
and I’ll promise to be gooa next time.
I am a member of the L. B. and 1 really feel
that there is tbe place for me.
Remember me as Foluoiten.
A NEW YEAR STORY’.
They were a happy couple, these two who
stood in the doorway and looked into the small
and newly furnished parlor. They had been
married but a few short months, four at most,
and they were poor, and by degrees had fur
nished the little home
Very cosy the parlor looked with its bright
carpet, fresh curtail and light easy chairs, its
pictures and few books. Very inviting it ap
peared with tbe firelight dancing over its simple
beauty. And very busy had the little wife been
all day that the room might be ready.at the hus
band’s home coming.
“Have you thought, Don ; that Thursday is
New Year—our first together? Dau’t you think
we ought to have a dinner?
He drew his Him closer around the small
form, and .coking cown into the gray eyts—she
came not quite to his shoulder—Hnswcitd: “I
think we ought, love ” ~
And so it was settled. They were to celebrate
the joyous tin e, *na with full hearts and eager !
bancs tt ey set about having as they expressed
it “a real happy occasion.”
First, a leal was torn irom his note bonk and
the names of the gutsts to be invitee written

K.THE PHRENOLOGICAL MUSEUM.
L My letters have been delayed on account of
the cold weather. I have no place to write ex
cept my bedroom, and it is so cold there tbat I
lose all inspiration with the theimometer at 30
and 40. 1 am living with Germans now, and
there is such a clatter of the language of Bis
march, such volumes of tobacco smoke, such
^popping _of beer bottles in the dining room
(which is‘ the only place to sit), that I had to
suspend writing until the factory stopped and I
could go to Newark, N. J., to my sister's house
und enjoy two weeks of quiet recreation.
I. 1 will not stay all he time in Newark. I will
go to New York lor one week and enjoy mjself
among the picture galleries, the churches, the
libraries, etc.; est mea sola voluptas—it is my
only pleasure. I shall spend a cay in the Lenox
libraryiTLaud if I am permitted I shall make
ue of all the rare Bibles ,uuu. the manu
scripts wi.iteii before tue invention oi printing,
oud beauniuby ltiuminaied in iloweis and
■oliage. Yts, 1 shall make notes and tell you,
my Southern friends, all about them.
Tbe Lenox is particularly nca in the posse*
-ion of rare bibies The domplasian Foiyg o
of Cardinal Xinieues is there; so is the Wicket
Bib e,” so called because • not” is left out oi
he Gth commaudmeut; also the “Brteche
Bible,” so called because the text reads—’ x\u«
idam aud Eve made themselves breeches o’ tig
eaves;” aLo El.ion's Indian Bible in the lan
guage of the Pequol tribe iu New England who
ic ail extinct years ago. There is hut one mau
« *orld who can read aud nndcrstai d this
Bible.
But I am wandering away from my subject. I
take up my notes and find tbe last plaster cast
1 wrote about was that of Aaron Burr.
This oue on the upper sbesf is the bust of Am
broise l’are, who fiiat oiscovered the method of
tyiug up the arteries in amputations; and a
noble head it is, with high, broad, square fore
head, indicative of talents of a superior menial
development.
Next is Baron Cuvier, the naturalist, who
has the largest head in the collection, large be
nevolence, humau nature, veneration, aud
tune.
Down on this shelf is the east oi the head
< i Burke, the murderer who was, in connection
witn Hare, eLgaged in tbe business of killing
people and selling their bodies lor dissection.
They killed a number of people before they
were discovered. Bare turned state's evidence
and saved his own miseiabie neck. Burke was
executed in Edenburgh about seventy years
age.
Next is the cast of the head of Mrs. Manning,
executed for murder in London about l«51. .She
enticed an old miserly bachelor to visit her by
her rare beauty and fine cooking. She and her
husband murdered him, buried his body in
quick lime under the hearthstone of her
kitchen, went to his lodgings took his money,
and was leaving for America by way of Scotland
when they were arrested. She was tried and
convicted iu due time aud executed. The eve
of her death she spent arranging her toilet. She Jg-
was executed in a black silk dress. She wore a
lace collar and cuffs, black silk stockings and
tiny slippers of black satin. Her blonde hair
was done up in aPsyche knot at the back of her
head. You can see her wax figure, gentle read
ers, at Madame Tussuud’s museum in Ixmdon,
dressed in the idealical costume she wore at
her execution, the head of her wax figure
adorned with her own original golden hair.
Next is the head in plaster of Anton Probst,
who murdeicd the Hearing family in Philadel
phia about twenty- five yeais ago; a round, bu’-
let head it is with no forehead to speak of large
caution, small benevolence, large destructive
ness, a vigorous, stiong, cruel nature- a perfect
human animal.
There aie many more murderers, meu, and
women, tool but I dare say I have written
euough about this museum. You can find it at
<76 Broadway, New York, where stiangers are
cordially invited. Go there, drar leaders, and
see them younelf. My friend Miss B. will con
duct you and show you ail the statesmen who
adorn those shelves in plaster of Paris, ail the
skulls, and all the other curiosities. Besides
being beautilul and accomplished, Miss B. has
the gift of language. As a guide and saltswo-
inan she is a success.
In the meantime I will try other subjects. 1
expect to ste a good deal iu the next two weeks
and will tell jou ailoi what 1 have seen in my
next letter. Ira Jones.
TW O PICTURES OF CHRISTMAS EVE.
t Here in tbis^fire-lit room, where the broken
llames tost bioken shadows on the wall, J have
been sitting quite still, with my hands folded,
aud my eyes fixed steadily on the burning coke.
What do I see—the low, wide fireplace, the
brass irons and the half burnt weed lying across
tht m? No. 1 have been reading a book- u book
called Ben Hur, and it has furnisbtd my mind
wilb pictures and I have been looking ut tnem,
and now if you'll be quiet und give me jour
attention, I’ll describe them to you:
To begin—it is Chiisimss Eve, the first one
that ever daw ned upon earth, and whom Israel
has been expecting und the prophets have been
foretelling for centuries past is to be torn in
Judea and tbeuee fiom the uttermost parth ol
tLe earth are men con.ing to worship Him ’
ull the wor.d there are but three, aud
mounted on their great white dromedaries
they are speeding across the cesert. If J
with them the scene would not le plainer
me. There, on every side, suetches a treat
waste ol sand; overnead, or nearly so, banes a
lull moon, while in the east shines thesurof
B-tblebeiu, which is guiding them to the
Baviour s birthplace. On and on thev
go, following this dazzling jjgbt until at last it
stauds still over a cave wheie camels aLd other
beasts ol burceu are sheltered; and going in
they find the joung child taey have come to
ste, aud hill down and wciship him. What a
frail, delit ate little thing it is! ,jBu after awhile

Ridley's suffering, and Paul's faith, and Lath
er’s labors were all in vain.
But they are If-tening, this new “Brotherhood
of « l.rist,” aud in their innermost hearts be-
li> vine tbat their leader is spying. Believing
wbai?th<t Christ the Christian’s hope, the sin
ner’s friend, the wanderer’s light, the healer
of broken hearts the helper in time of need, the
finisher of onr faith, who came weariugour hu
man nature and clothed with our human pas-
s ous tnat he might, know of them and when the
tempted fall pity and fo'give, is a myth! and
tbe beautiful story of his life and death, bis
resurrection and ascension into heaven a fable!
a fairy tale fit only lor the ignorant of mind
and weak of intellect to believe in. “Oh happy
Gaspar! Oh happy Melchoir! that thou didn't not
live to see this day."
What a Single Vote Can Do.
There has bean » good deal of talk late
It in Boaton aoont the alderman in the
Tenth district that city being elected
by one majority. Bat New York oity,
,«>• the World oas a little llloatratlon of
its own that ahowa the importance of
everybody voting wnohaa registered. It
was in 1872 The district waa the Seven
teenth of this city and there were four
candidate. In th. Held for assembly. The
strife was a terrific one and the leaders
or the four parties worked day and night
to get out on election day every vote.
Copies or the registration hooka in every
district were made and personal calls
were actually made from house to house
by the friends of the candidates.
One of the candidates, the Tammany
man, waa a grand worker for himself, to
sneh a degree tbat on election day he
voted for himself. His republican oppo
nent, while an ont-and-ont party man,
had an idea that it was only courtesy on
his part to show that there was no hard
feeling in the campaign, so far as he was
concerned, and he actually cast his vote
for the Tammany man.
The coant of the votes in that big dig
trlct was more than an all-night job—It
took many days—and the watchfulness
cf every candidate and his friends finally
drove the whole contest Into tbe official
canvass before the leaders wonld concede
that tbe Tammany man was elected by
only one majority. That thing was too
close a shave, ana his opponents felt cer
tain that the claims were a hundred to
one that the official count would give
die opponent at least a half dezen votes
more than the addition of the Inspectors
totals iu the various election districts
allowed him. The eiUolal count was
made, and here was the result:
Andrew J. Bleeping Tammany
Willia-nT. Graff, republican
C. C. Wilsen. Apollo nail l/iyj
A. Ward, independent
Total vote
Grafl'over Wilson
Wi.son over Ward
Blcibinf over Graff
The fact is that Graff, the republican,
waa the man who elected his opponent,
Blessing the democrat. Blessing made
no bones about acknowledging that he
had voted for himself, while Graff man
fully and politically said that he had
voted for BlesslDg -‘out of courtesy,” and
would do so again under like circum
stances. Had Graff voted for himself he
would have been elected Instead of de
feated by one vote. It was a lucky thing
for Blessing that he himself did not, ‘-out
of courtesy,” vote for Graff. Indeed,
had neither voted at all Graff would
have had one maj jrity Instead of Bless -
in?.
This one-vote business was made all
the more remarkable in the State assem
bly of 1S71. The constitutional majority
of the lower house is 65. That was the
democratic vote exactly. Before the sea
sion ended the vote of tbe assembly was
for many weeks 61 democrats to 63 repub-
lcins. If tbe repuollcans could have
compelled the democrats to secure one
more vote during the entire session hon
estly from tbelr ranks the “compromise”
would have been delightfully profitable
to the republican lobby. The house,
when organized, as has been said, started
in with tue constitutional majority of 1
for the democrats, the vote being 65 to 64
But Smith M. Weed, the democratic
member from Clinton county—and who
now figures so prominently as a candi
date for United States senator—was
struck in tbe face duiii g a night session
by ‘-Jim” Irving, a democratic member
fromlthis city. Irving nad to resign.
The lack of the democratic vote was of
course, under the circumstances, the loss
oftheconstuntional ms j jrity upon which
Tweed had based all bis hopes lor clutch
ing New York city by the throat. Wi-
mans, the republican, was finally bonght,

Now, bad every voter who had regis
tered iu 1870 gone to tbe polls, that one
majority tor Tweed would not have gone
to Albany with him, and then, even If
Smith M. Weed had been the victim of
“Jim” Irving, the city of New York
would not have been fastened to the
handsof a pack of thieves for two years
longer.
Isn’t all this a lesson for the stay-at-

Brooklyn, Jan. 4.—Dr. Talmage’s New
Year’s sermon is a ringing battle cry to
ministers and Christians everywhere, call
ing upon them to join in a combined
charge on the intrenchments of sin and Sa
tan. It made a deep impression on the
vaat crowds who heard it in this city this
morning, and at The Christian Herald ser
vice to-night in New York. The enthusi
asm at the latter-service was increased by
the effective aid rendered by a large vol
unteer choir which has been organized
from the audiences, who sung with a vol
ume and fervor s^iHom equaled. After the
Binging of the hymn commencing,
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly liove.
With all thy quickening powers.
Dr. Talmage preached the following ser
mon from the text, Luke xxiv, 4!), “Tarry
ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be en
dued with power from on high:”
For a few months, in the providence of
God, I have two pulpits, one in Brooklyn
and the other in New York, ami through
the kindness of the printing press an ever
widening opportunity. To all such hear
ers and readers 1 come with an especial
The time has arrived for a for
ward movement as the church and
the world have never seen. That there is
need for such a religions inovemeut is
evident from the fact that never since our
world was swung out among the planets
has there been such an organized and de
termined effort to overthrow righteous-
, and make the Ten Commandments
obsolete aud th<-.whole Bible a derision.
Meanwhile alcoholism is taking down its
victims by the hundreds of thousands, and
the political parties get down on their
knees, practically saying: “O thou al
mighty rum jugl we bow down before
thee] Give us the offices—city, state and
national. Oh, give us the offices, and we
will worship thee for ever aud ever.
Amen.”
The Christian Sabbath meanwhile, ap
pointed for physical, mental aud spiritual
rest, is being secularized aud ubolished.
As if the bad publishing houses of our
own country had exhausted their literary
filth, the French aud Russian sewers have
been invited to pour their scurrility aud
moral slush into the trough where our
American swine are now wallowing.
Meanwhile there are enough houses of in
famy in ail ourcilies, open and unmolested
of the law, to invoke the omnipotent
wrath which buried Sodom under a deluge
of brimstone. The pandemouiac world, I
think, has massed its troops, and they are
at this moment plying their batteries upou
family circles, church circles, social circles,
political circles and national circles.
Apollyou is in the saddle, and riding at
the head of his myrmidons would capture
this world for darkness aud woe.
TUE MINISTERS OF TUE UNITED STATES.
That is one side of the conflict now rag
ing. On the other side we, have the most
magnificent gospel machinery that the
world ever saw or heaven ever invented. In
the first place there are in this country more
than eighty thousand ministers of religion
and, take them as a class, more conse
crated, holier, more consistent, more seif
denying, more faithful men never lived. 1
know them by the thousands. 1 have met
them in every city. 1 urn told, not by them,

^horfrntvis head of all goud ^ /prints, and whoevc

tenth of this is demonstrated by the fact
that when a minister of religion does fall,
it is so exceptional that the newspapers re
port it as something startling, while a hun
dred men in. other callings may go down
without the matter being considered as es
pecially worth uientidlffr.g.
In addition to their equipment iu moral
character the clergy of this country have
all that the schools can give. All archaeo
logical, rhetorical, scientific, scholastic,
literary attainment. So much for the
Christian ministry of all denominations.
In the next place on our side of the con
flict we have the grandest churches of all
time and higher style of membership and
more of them, and a host without number
•f splendid men and women who are doing
their best to have this world purified, de
rated, gospelized. But we all feel that
something is wanting. Enough hearty
songs have been sung and enough earnest
■ermous preached within the last six
months to save all the cities of America,
and saving the cities you save the world,
for they overflow all the land either with
their religion or their infamy.
CHRISTIANITY HAS YET MUCH TO WIN.
But look at some t»f the startling facts.
It is nearly nineteen hundred years since
Jesus Christ came by the way of Bethle
hem caravansary Io save this world, yet
the most of the world has been no more
touched by this most stupendous fact of
all eternity than if on the first Christmas
night the beasts of the stall, amid the bieat
ings of their own young, bad not heard the
bleating of the Lamb that was to be slain.
Out of the eighteen hundred million of the
human race fourteen hundred million are
without God and without hope iu the
world, the camel driver of Arabia, M;i-
homet, with his nine wives, having half as
many disciples as our blessed Christ, and
more people are worshiping chunks of
painted wood and carved stone than are
worshiping the living aud eternal God.
Meanwhile, the most of us who are engaged

There la a kind of lizard fonnd in Vir-
inla and Maryland that has three eyes—
>ne of the top of his head,” said a man
of science the other day to a Washington
btar man. “It ia generally supposed
that they are very rare, bat, on the con
trary, they are quite common. You can
find plenty of them if yon take the
trouble to look. Tbey are green, and
about three Inches long.”
“Are tnere any other animals in the
world tbat have three eyes?”
‘ -Lots. For example, yon yourself have
third eye, though it-has become rudi
mentary through disuse.”
“Holy Mt see! Where is ltt”
“J ust in the middle of yonr head, as
neariy as its location can be described
off-hand. Anatomists know It as the
pineal gland,’ bat It is actually an eye
that has become rudimentary. Place
the tip of your finger just above the
bridge ofyour nose and on a level with
your tjeB. Directly behind that point
about five inches, at the base of the brain,
is this gland 1 speak of, which the
ancients used to imagine was the center
of consclousntss ana the seat of thesonl.
Its structure has lost aU resemblance to
that of au eye, but you can find it retain
ing more of Its original development in
some turtles and other reptiles. With
them this gland haB still, tnough in the
middle of the bead, an actual eye socket,
an optic nervec-nme-ting witn the visual
tract of the brain, and even the pigmen
tary inntr coat, tne object of which in
all e4 es is to absorb light. There Is no
retina, tut it is au eye for ail that. In
the cate of the lizard i mentioned this
pineal eye actual y appears at the top of
the head and is useiui for seeing with.

Power from on the level when the religious

level is not sufficient. Power from on high
is what we need to take possession of us.
Power straight from God. Supernatural
power, omnipotent power, all conquering

Not more than one out of ten thousand
Christians has it all tbe time. Given in

A few men and women iu each ago of
the world have posscsseijit. Caroline Fry,
the immortal Qaakere»K»ad it, and three
hundred of the deDravii lofimi sufferinir of
Newgate prison, under her exhortation,
repented and believed. Jonathan Ed
wards had it, and Northampton meeting
house heard the outburst of religious emo
tion as he spake of righteousness and judg
ment to come. Samuel Budgett, the Chris
tian merchant, had it, and his benefactions
showered the world. John Newton had
it. Bishop Latimer had it. Isabella Gra
ham had it. Andrew Fuller had it. The
great evangelists Daniel Baker and Dr.
Nettleton and Truman Osbcrn and Charles
G. Finney had it. In my boyhood I saw
Truman Osborn rise to preach in the vil
lage church at Somerville, N. J., and be
fore he had given out his text or uttered a
word people in the audience sobbed aloud
with religious emotion. It was the power
from on high. All in greater or less de
gree may have it. Once get it and noth
ing can staud before you. Satan goes
down. Caricature goes down. Infidelity,
goes down. Worldliness goes down. Ali
opposition goes down.
TIMES OK BLESSING.
Several times in the history of the church
and the world has this power from on high
been demonstrated. In the Seventeenth
century, after a great season of moral de
pression, this power from on high came
down upon John Tillotson and Owen and
Flavel and Baxter and Bunyan, and there
was a deluge of mercy higher than the
tops of the highest mountains of sin. In
the Eighteenth century, in England and
America, religion was at a low witter mark.
William Cowper, writing of the clergy of
those days said:
Except a few with Eli’s spirit blest,
tiophni and I’bineas may describe the rest.
The infidel writings of Shaftesbury and
Hobbes aud Chubb had done their work.
But power front on high came upoll both
the Wesleys aud Lady Huntington on the
other side the Atlantic, and upon William
Tennant and Gilbert Tennant and David
Brainerd on this side the Atlantic, and
both hemispheres felt the tread of a par
doning Cod. Coming to later date, there
may be here and there iu this audience au
aged man or woman who cuu remember
New York in 1831, when this power from
on high descended most wondrously. It
came upon pastors and congregations and
theatres and commercial establishments.
Chatham Street theatre, New York, was
the scene of a most tremendous religious
awakening.
A committee of Christian gentlemen
called upon the lessee of the theatre, and
said they would like to buy the lease of th-
theatre. He said, “What do you want it
for?” They replied, “For a church.” “For
wh-a-at?” said the owner. “For a church
was the reply. The owner said, “You may
have it, and 1 will give you a thousand
dollars to help you ou with your work.’
Arthur Tappan, a mau mightily [icrsecuted
in his time, but a man, as 1 saw him in his
last days, its honest and pure and good as
any man I ever knew, stepped ou the stage
of old Chatham them n- as the actors were
closing their morning rehearsal and said,
“There will be preaching here to-night on
this stage;” and then gave out and sang
with such people as were there the old
hymn:
The voice of free "race cries, ese-apo to the
mountain.
For ail that believes Christ lias opened a fountain
The barroom of tiie theatre was turned
into a prayer room, and eight hundred per
sons were present at the first meeting. For
seventy successive nights religious services
were held in that theatre, and such scenes
of mercy and salvation as will lie subjects
ot conversation and congrat ulation anion

lasts, lint I come to a later time—1857

Starvation entered habitations that had
never before known a want. Domestic

was when the banks went down! There
has been nothing like it in thirty years,
aud 1 pray Cod there may uot be anything
like it in the next thirty centuries. Talk
about your Black Fridays! It was Black

Black Tuc.'lny. Clack Wednesday, Black
*Thurstlay as*weil as Black Friday.
This nation in its extremity fell helpless
before the Lord and cried for pardon and
peace, and upou ministers and laymen the
power from ou high descended. Engine
houses, ware rooms, hotel parlors, muse
ums, factories, from Iff to 1 o’clock, while
the operatives were resting, were opeued
for prayers aud sermons and iuquir)
rooms, aud Burton’s old theatre ou Cham
bers street, where our ancestors used to
assemble to laugh at the comedies, and all
up and down the streets, aud out ou the
docks aud on the decks of ships lying at
the wharf people sang, “All hail the power
of Jesus' name,” while others cried for
mercy. A great mass meeting of Chris
tians ou a week day, iu Jayne’s hall, Phila
delphia, telegraphed to Fulton Street
Prayer meeting iu New York, saying,
“What hath God wrought?” and a tele
gram went hack saying, “Two hundred
souls saved at our meeting today.” A
ship came through the Narrows into our
harbor, the captain reporting that himself
aud all the crew had been converted to
God between New Orleans and New York.
In the busiest marts of our busiest Amer
ican cities, where the worshipers of Mam
mon had been counting their golden beads,
men began to calculate, “What shall it
profit a mau if ha gain the whole world
and lose his soul?” The waiters in restau
rants after the closing of their day’s work
knelt among the tables where they had
served. Policemen asked consent of the
commissioner of police to be |>eruiitied to
attend religious meetings. At Albany
members of tbe New York legislature as
sembled iu the room of tbe court of ap
peals at half-past 8 o’clock in the morning
for prat er and praise. Printed invitations
were sent out to the tiremeu of New
York saying, “Come as suits your conve
nience best, whether in tire or citizens’
dress, but come! come!” Quarrymeu knelt
among the rocks. Fishermen knelt i u t! s
boats. Weavers knelt among the !uu;..
Sailors knelt among the hammocks.
Schoolmasters knelt among tiieir classes.

line of prayer meetings from Omaha to

a line of prayer meetings from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast, and from the rit. 1 .aw

BLESS GOD FOR 1857!
Iu those days what songs, what sermons,
what turnings to Cod, what recital of
thrilling experiences, what prodigals
brought home, what burning tidings of
souls saved, what serfdom of sin emanci
pated, what wild rout of the forces of
darkness, what victories for the truth!
What millions on earth and in heaven are
now thanking God for 1S57, which, thou^
the year of worst financial calamity, was
the year of America’s most glorious bless
ing. How do you account for 1837, its
spiritual triumphs on Lite heels of its
worldly misfortune? It was what my text
calls the power from ou high.
That was thirty-three years ago, and
though there have been in various parts of
the land many stirrings of the Holy Ghost,
there has been no general awakening.
Does it not seem to you that we ought to
have and may have the scenes of power in
1857 eclipsed by the scenes of powerin 1891J
The circumstances are somewhat similar.
While we have not had national panic and
universal prostration as in 1857, there haa
been a stringency in tbe money market
tbat has put many of the families of the
earth to their wits’ end. Urge commer
cial interests collapsing have left multi
tudes of employes without means ol
support. The racked brains of bnsinetf
men have almost or entirely given way.
New illustrations all over the land of tlx
fact that riches have not only feet, on
which they walk slowly as they come, bat
wings on which they speed when they go.
Eternal God! tliou knowest how cramped
and severe and solemn a time it is with
many. And its the business ruin of 1851
was followed by the glorious triumphs ol
grace, let the awful struggles of 1890 b«
followed by the hallelujahs of a nation
saved in 1891.
LET- US ALL PRAT MORE!
Brethren in the Gospel ministry! if w*
spent halt as muc h time in prayer as w«
do in the preparation of our sermons noth
ing could stand before us. We would bav*
the power from on high as we never had
it. Private membership of all Christen-
aomt u we spent natr as muen time in pos
itive prayer for this influence ns we do in
thinking about it and talking about it.
there would not be secretaries enough tc
take down the names of those who want tc
give in their names for enlistment.
We would have hundreds of cases like
those recently reported when a man said
to an evangelist: “I am a lost sinner. Pray
for me. My wife has been a professor of
religion for years, but I knew she did not
enjoy religion, and I said if that was all
there was in religion I did not want it
But for the last few days she has looked
and acted in such an elevated and gloriou:
spirit that 1 cannot stand it away from
God. I want the same religion that in
spires her.” Come! Come! all through the
United States, and all through Christen
dom, and all around the world let us join
hands in holy pledge that we will call
upon God for the power. Oh, for the powet
from on high, the power that came on
Pentecost, yea, for ten thousand Pente
costs! Such times will come, and they
will come iu our day if we have the faith,
and the prayer, and the consecration.
As the power from on high in 1857 wat
more remarkable in academies of music
and lyceum halls and theatres than ir
churches, why not this winter of 1891 ir
these two academies of music, places of se
cular entertainment where we are during
tbe rebuilding of our Brooklyn Tabernacle
so grandly tend graciously treated by the
owners and lessors and lessees; why not
expect, aud why not have the power from
on high, comforting power, arousing
power, convicting power, converting pow
er, saving power, omnipotent power? My
opinion is that in this cluster of cities by
the Atlantic coast, there are five hundred
thousand people now ready to accept th'
gospel call, if, freed from all the convert
tionalities of t lie church, it were earnestly
and with strong faitli presented to them.
In these brilliant assemblies there arc
hundreds who are not frequenters
churches, and wiio do not believe much ii
at all in ministers of religion or ecclesiast
ical organizations. But God knows yoL
have struggles iu which you need help, .-
bereavements in which you want soi;
and peiseeutions in which you ought tc
have defjn.se, and perplexities in which yon
need guidance, aud with a profound
thoughtfuluess you stand by the grave ol
the old year, and the cradle of the young
year, wondering where you will be and
what you will be when “rolling years shall
cease to move.” Bower front on high de
scend upon them!
Meu of New York and Brooklyn, I offer
you Cod and heaven! From the day you
came to these cities what a struggle you
have hat! 1 cau tell from your careworn
countenances, and the tears in your eyes,
and the deep sigh you have just breathed
that you want re-enforcement, and heto it
is, greater than Blucher when he reen
forced Wellington; greater than the Bank
of England when last mouth it re-enforced
the Barings—namely, the Cod who through
Jesus Christ is ready to pardon all youi
sin, comfort all your sorrows, scatter all
your doubts, and swing ail the shining
gates of heaven wide open before your re
deemed spirit. Come into tbe kingdom ol
God! Without a half second of delay
come in!
’1 UEY LACK ltELIJION.
Many of my hearers today tire what the
world calls, and what I would call spleu
did fellows, and they seem happy enough,
and are jolly and obliging, and if I were in
trouble 1 would go to them witli as much
confidence as 1 would to my father, if he
were yet alive. But wheu they go to their
rooms at night, or wheu the excitements of
social and busim ss life are off, they are uot
content, and they want something better
than this world can offer. I uuders'and
them so well i would, without any fear of
being thought rough, put my right land
on their one shoulder and my left hard on
their other shoulder and push them into
the kingdom of God. But I cannot. Bower
from on high, lay hold of them!
Years ago, at tue close of a religious ser
vice iu Brooklyn Tabernacle, a gentleman
most distinguished iu appearance, and
with remarkable cerebral deve-lopment,
came forward with his wife and daughter,
and said to me iu a most courteous and ele
gant way, “Let me introduce you to my
wife aud daughter, who wish some coun
sel in regard to relbvous matter: ” and
tue three .-at down. After I had conversed
with the wife and daughter I turned to the
gentleman and said, “Perhaps you have
some interest yourself iu these matters?”
None whatever,” was the reply, polite
yet firm, but before tbe meeting had
closed 1 suvv his hand lifted to his forehead
and his eyes closed, aud 1 said, “.'Sir, have
you not changed your miud, and are you
not thoughtful ou this subject?” He said:
I am. rliuee coming to this seat 1 have
sought and found Christ as my Saviour,
and 1 have but one desire more, and tbat is
before 1 leave this bouse to join my wife
and daughter in making profession of the
yjnrisuan religion. 1 nave oeeu miuwu as
on the wrong side long euough.” What
was it tbat had come upon him? It was
power front on high.
Ac the first communion after the dedica
tion of our former church three hundred
and twenty-eight souls stood up in the
aisles and publicly espoused tbe cause of
Christ. At another time four hundred
souls; at another time live hundred; and
our four thousaud live hundred member
ship were but a small part of tltose who
within those sacred walls took upon them
selves the vows of the Christian. Wbat
turned them? What saved them? Power
from the level ? No. Power from ou high.
WE MAY SEE GREAT THINGS.
But greater things are to he seen if ever
these cities aud ever tiiis world to be
taken for Cod. There is oue class of men
and women in ail these assemblages in
whom I have especial interest, and that is
those who had good fathers and moth
once, but tbey are dead. What multitudes
of us are orphans! We may be 40, 30, SO
years old, but we never get used to bavin
father and mother gone. Oh, how often
we have had troubles that we would like
to have told them, and we always lolt as
long us father and mother were aliv
had some one to whom we could go! Now
I would like to ask if you think that ail
their prayers iu yonr behalf have been an
swered. “No.” you say, “but it is too late;
the old folks are goue now.”
1 must courteously contradict you. It is
not too late. 1 have a friend in the minis
try who was attending the last hours of aD
ed Christian, and my friend said to the
old Christian, “Is there no trouble on t our
mind?” The old man turned Lis face to
the wall for a few moments, and then said:
Only oue thing. I hope for the salvation
of my ten children, but not one of them is
yet saved. Yet I am sure they will he.
Cod means to wait until 1 am gone.” So
he died. When my friend told of the cir
cumstances eight of the ten had found
the Lord, aud I have no doubt tbe other
two before this have found him. Oh, that
the long postponed answers to prayer for
you, my brother, for you, my sister, might
this hour descend iu power from on high.
The history of these unanswered prayers
(or you God only-knows. They may have
been offered lit the solemn birth hour.
They may have been offered when you
were down with scarlet fever or diphtheria
or membranous croup. They may' have
been offered some night when you were
sound asleep in the trundle bed, and youi
mother came iu to see if you were rightly
covered in the cold winter night. They
may have been offered at that time which
comes at least once in almost every one’a
life when your father and mother had hard
work to make a living, and they feared
that want would come to them and yon.
They may have been offered when the lipa
could no longer move and the eyes were
closed for the long sleep.
Oh, unanswered prayers of father and
mother, where are you? In what room oi
the old homestead have they hidden? Oh,
unanswered prayers, rise in a mist of many
tears into a cloud, and then break in a
shower which shall soften the heart aI
that man who is so hard he cannot cry, w
that woman who is ashamed to pray! Oh,
armchair of the aged, now empty and in
the garret among the rubbish, speak outl
Oh, staff of the pilgrim who has ended hia
weary journey, tell of the parental anxie
ties that bent over thee! Oh, family Bible
with story of births and deaths, rustle
some of t hy time worn leaves, and let us
know of the wrinkled bauds that ouce
turned thy pages, and explain that spot
where a tear fell upon the passage, “Q
Absalom, my son, my sou, would God 1
had died for thee!”
Oil, FOR POWER FROM ON HIGH)
Good aud arazaaua Cliff! what will la
come of us, if after baring had such adevwad
and praying parentage, we never pray fra
ourselves! We will pray. We will begin
now. Oh, for the power from on high,
power to move this assemblage, power to
save Brooklyn and New York, power ol
evangelism that shall sweep across this
continent like an ocean surge, power to
girdle the round earth with a red girdla
dipped in the blood of the cross! If this
forward movement is to begin at all there
must be some place for it to begin, and
why not this, place? And there mast ba
some time for it to begin, aud why not this
time? And so I sound for your eara ft
rhythmic invitation, which, until a few
days ago, never came under tny eye, but it
ia so sweet, so sobbing with pathoa,
so triumphant with joy, that whoever
chimed it, instead of being anonymous,
ought to be immortal:
Thy sins 1 bore ou Calvary’s tree;
Tbe stripes, thy due, were laid on me.
That peace and pardon might be free—
O wretched sinner, come!
Burdened with guilt, wouldst thou be
Trust not the world; it gives no rest;
X bring relief to hearts opprest—
O weary sinner, come!
Come, leave thy burden at the cross;
Count all thy gains but empty dross.
My grace repays all earthly loss—
O needy sinner, come!
Come, hither bring thy boding fears.
Thy aching heart, thy bursting teara
‘Tis mercy's voice salutes thine ears;
O trembling shiner, come!
