The Brooklyn Divines Sunday Sermon* Subject: “Th# Looking Glass.” ' Text: “And ho made the laver of brass, and the foot of it was of brass, of the look¬ ing glasses of the women assembling.”— Exodus xxxriil., 8. We often hear about the gospel in John, and the gospel in Luke, and the gospel in Matthew, but there is just as surely a gospel of Moses And a gospel of Jeremiah, and a gospel n| David. In other words. Christ is kh ment certainly in to be found its the Old Testa¬ as the New. When the Israelites were marching through the . wilderness they carried Ibeir church with them. They called it tho taber¬ nacle. ft was a pi' died tent, very costlv, of very forty-eight beautIJtil. boards Tho of framework aeicla wood was made In sockets Silver.

Where did all that precious ma¬ terial come from? It is not my place to fur¬ nish the precious stones, it is only to toll '•hat they were there. f wish now more especially to speak of tho layer that Was built in tho midst of that ancient tabernacle. If was <a great basin from which the priests washed their hands and leot. Tho water camo down from the basin in spouts nnd passed nway after tho cleansing. This laver or basin was made out of the looking glasses of tho vfonleil who had frequented the tabornaolo and who had made those their contributions to tho ftirniture. These looking glasses were not made of glass, but they were brazen. The brass was of a very superior quality and polished until it reflected easily the features of those who looked itito it, so that this Inver of looking glasses spoken of in my text 'Bd double work. It not only furnished the Wider in which tho pripsts washed Ihem selvos, but it also, on its shining, polished surface, the pointed out tlid spots of pollution on f face Which needed ablution. have to s ty that this is the only looking glass in which a man cau see himself ns ho is. There are some mirrors that flatter the features and make you look better than you arc. Then there are other mirrors that dis¬ tort your features and make yon look worse than you arc, but I want to tell yod that this looking-glass of the gospel shows a man just as he Is. When the priests entered the aheient tabernacle, one glance nt the burnished side of this iaver showed them their need of cleansing, So this gospel shows tho soul its need of divine washing. “All have sinned and como short of f ho glory of God.” That is one showing. “All we, like sheer, have gone astray.” That is another showing. “From the crown of tho head to tho solo of the foot there is no health In us.” That is another showing. The world calls these defects, imperfections, or eccentricities, or erratic behavior, but tho gospel or “wild oats,” or “high living,” calls them sin, transgression, fifth—the abominable thing that God hates. It was jnsl on > glance nt that mirror that made Haul cry out, “Oh, wretched man that I am, who shall deliver mo from tho body of this death?” and that made David cry out. “Purge me with hyssop, and l shall bo clean,” nnd that made Martin Luther cry out, “Oh, my sins, my sins!” I am 1 not talking about bad habits. You nnd do not need nny Bible lo tell us that bad habits aro wrong, that blasphemy and evil speaking nre wrong. But lam talking of a sinful nature, thesouree of all bad thoughts as well as of all bad actions, fi’ho Apostle Paul calls their roll in the first*chapter of Romans. They are a regiment of death en <• imping around every heart, holding it in a tyranny of God from which nothing but the grace can deliver it. has Here, for instance, is ingratitude. Who not been guilty of that sin? If a man hand us a glass of water wo say, “Thank you," but for tho 10,000 mercies that wo are every how little.exproaskm day receiving from tho hand of God slaked, for of gratitude—-for thirst shine, hunger fed, for shelter, and sun¬ and sound sleep, and clothes to wear, how little thanks! I suppose there are been men fifty years of ago who have never vet down on their knees iu thanksgiving to God for His goodness. Besides that ingrati¬ tude of our hearts there is pride—.vno has not felt it?—pride that will not submit to God ; Amt wants Us own way—a nature that prefers wrong sometimes instead of right; that prefers to wallow instead of rise up. if you could catch a glimpse of your natur¬ al heart before God, you would cry out in amazement, and alarm. The very first thing fills gospel does is to cut down our pride and self sufficiency. If a man does not feel his loss and ruined condition before God. he does not want any gospel. I think tho roa son that there are so few conversions in this day ing is fa because tho tendency of tho ttiey preach¬ to make men believe that aro pretty good anyhow—quite clever, only wanting a little fixing up, a few touches of divine grace, and then you will be all right —instead of proclaiming the broad, deep truth that Puyson and Whitefleld thundered to a race trembling on the verge of infinite nnd eternal disaster. "Now.” says some one, “can this really bo true? Have we all gone astray? Is there no good in us?” Iu Hampton Court I saw a room where the lour walls were covered with looking glasses and it made no difference which way you looked you saw yourself. And so it is m this gospel of Christ. If you oneo step within its full precincts, you will find your whole character reflected, every feature oC moral deformity, every spot of moral taint. If I understand the word of God, its first an¬ nouncement is that we are lost. looking Glory be to God, I find that this laver of glasses was filled with fresh water every morning, nnd tho priest no sooner looked on its burnished side ami saw his need of cleansing than he washed and was clean—glorious Lord Jesus, type of the gospel of my that first shows a man his sin and then washes it all nway! I want you to notice that this laver iu which the priest washed—the Inver of look¬ ing glasses —was filled with fresh water every morning. The servants of the tabernacle brought the water in buckets and poured it into this laver. So it is with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It has a fresh salvation every day. It is not a stagnant pool filled with ac¬ cumulated [corruptions. It is living water, which is brought from the eternal rock to wash away the sins of yesterdn;, of one "I moment ago. “Ob,” says some one, was a Christian twenty years ago!’ That does not mean anything to me. Y*hat are you now? We are not talking, my brother, about pardon ten years ego, but about pardon now. a fresh salvation. If I want to find out how a friend feels to¬ ward me, do I go to the drawer and find some old yellow letters written to me ten or twelve years ago? No. I go to the letter that was stamped tne day before yesterday in the postofflee, and I find how he' feels tc ward me. It is not in regard to old com¬ munications we had with Jesus Christ. It 1, the communications we have now. Are we not in sympathy with Him this morning, and is He not in sympathy with us? Do not spend so much of vour time iu hunting in the wardrobe for tho old. wornout shoes of Christian profession. Come this morning anl take the glittering robe of Christ's righteousness from the Saviour’s hand. You say Saviour’s you were plunged in the fountain of the mercy a quarter of a century ago. That is nothing to me. I tell you to wash now in this laver of looking glasses and have your soul made clean. - 1 notice also In regard to this laver of looking glasses spoken of in the text that the The priests always washed both hauls and feet. water came down in spouts, so that, without leaving nnv filth in the basin, the priests washed both hands and feet. So the gospel of Jesus Christ must touch the r»ry extremities of our moral nature. A man cannot fence off a small )U»rt of his soul and say. “Sow. this is to ho a gar leu in which I will bav»« all the fruits and flowers of Christian char¬ acter. while outside it shall be the devil’s commons.'’ No. nc. It will be all garden or none. I sometimes bear people s.tv. “He is a very good man except in politics." Then he is not a good man. A religion that will not take a man through an autumn election will not bo worth any¬ thing Thev to him in June, Jalv and Aam«f. sny he is a useful sort of a man, but b« orerreoehos In a hargaio.

If he is a Christian anywhere, lie will be in Ms business, it is very easy to be good in the prayer meHine. with surrounding k.'n Uy nn i blessei. l»ut not so easy to ”♦*-* Christian behind the counter, when by one skillful twitch of the goois you can hide afliw In the silk so that the cus : tomer cannot see it. It is very easy to be & Christian with a psalmbook in your hand end a Bible in your lap. but not so easy when you can go info a shop and falsely tell the merchant you cau get those goods at a cheaper will rate in another store, so that ne sell them to you cheaper than he can afford to sell them. I remark, farther, that this Javcr of look¬ ing glasses spoken of in tiro text was a very large iaver. I always thought, from the fact that sc many vrashel there, and nlso from the fact that Solomon afterward, when he copied that laver iii the temple; built it on a very large scale, that it was large, anl so suggestive of the gospel of Jesus Christ and salvation by Him—vast in its provisions. The whole world may come an l wash in this layer and be clean. When our Civil War had pissed, the Gov¬ ernment of the United States made procla¬ mation o'Dar.lon to the common soldiery in the Confederate armv, but not to the chief soldiers. Tne gospel of Chr'st does not act In that way. It says pardon for all. but especially for the chief of sinners. Now. my brother. I do not state this to put a premium upon great iniquity. I merely say this to encourage that man. whoever he Is. who feels tie is so fur gone from God that there is no mercy for him, I want to tell him there is a goo 1 Chnneej Why. Paul was nmurlercr.

It is a vast laver. Go and toll everybody to come arid wash in it. Let them coma up from the ponToniiuries an 1 wash away their crimes. Let them come up from the alms houses and wash awav their poverty. Let them come up from their graves and wash away their death. If there be anyone so worn out in sin that he cinriot get up to the laver, you will take hold of his hea l and put your arms aroun 1 him, and I will take hold of his feet, an 1 wo will plunge him in this glorious Bet bos la, thd vast laver of Go l’s mercy an 1 s ilvatldn. in Solomon’s temple sea—this there were ted layers anl one molten great reservoir in the midst of the temple filled with adbrnel water-these 1 avers and this molten sea with figures of palm bra rich anl oxm anl lions and cherubim. Tula _ fountain of G>l’j mercy is a vaster molten soi than that. It is not adorned with palm branches, but with the wool of the cross: not with the cherubim, but with the wings of the Holy Ghost, and around its great riin all tho race mav come an I wash in the molten son, But t dolled also, id regard to this lav >r of looking glasses sooked of in the text, that ihe washing in it was imperative and not optional. When the priests came into the tabarnnoUi (you will firvl this in the thirtieth chapter of Exvlus). God tells them thaMliay must wash in that laver or die. Th » priest might have s tid i “Otn’t I wash elsewhere? I washed in the layer at, home; and now von want me id wash here.” God says: “No matter 'whether or not you havo washel before. Wash in this inver or die.” “But,” says the priest, “there is water iust as clean as this. Why won’t that do?” “Wash here,” says God, “or die.” go it is with the gospel of Christ. It is imperative. There is only this alternative—keep our sins .and perish, or wash them away and live, have But, says made some one, “Why eoul l not Go 1 more ways to heaven than one?” I do not know but He could have made half a dozen. I know Hd made but one. Yod say, “Why not have a long line of boats running from here to heaven?” I cannot say, but I simply know that there is only one boat. You say, “Are there not trees as luxuriant as that on 0 ilvary, more luxuriant, for that had neither bu is nor blossoms, it was stripped and barked?” Yes, yes, there have been taller trees than that and more luxuriant, but the only path to heaven is under that one tree. Instead of quarreling because thankful there are not more ways, let us be to Go l there is oue, one uamegivon unto men whereby we cau be saved, one laver in which all the world may wash. So you son what a radiant gospel this is I preach. I do not know how a man can stand stolidly and present it. for it is such an exhilarant gospel. It is not a mero whim or caprice. It is life or death. It is heaven or hell. You come before your child, You and you havo a present in your hand. put your hands behind your back and say i “Which hand will you take? In one hand there is n treasure; In the other there is not.” The child blindly chooses. But God ohr Father does not do that wav with u^. He spreads out both hands and says : “Now this shall be very plain. In (hat hand are pardon and peace and life and the treasures of heaven. In that hand are punishment and sorrow and woe. Choose, choose for yourselves!” “He that belioveth and is baptized shall bo saved, but he that belioveth not shall be damned.” An artist in his dreams saw such a splendid dream of tho transfiguration of Chist that - he awoke and seized his pencil and said, “Let mo paint this and die." Ob, I have seen tho glories of Ciirist! I have beheld something of the beauty of that great sacri¬ fice ou Calvary, and I have somotimos felt I would be willing to give anything if I might just sketch before you the wonders of that sacrifice. I would like to do it while I Jive, and I would like to do it when I die. “Let me paint this and die.” He comes along, weary and worn. His face wet with tears. His brow crimson with blood, and He lies down on Calvary for you. No, I mis¬ take. Nothing was as comfortable as that. A stone on Calvary would have made a soft ing pillow for the dying head of Christ. Noth¬ so comfortable as that. Ho does not lie down to die: He stands up to die, Hisspike hands outspread as if to embrace a world. Oh. what a hard cud for those feet that had traveled all over Judmi on ministries of mercy! What a hard end for those hands that had wiped away tears aid bound up broken hearts 1 And that is all for you ! Oil, can you not love Him? Come around this iavet, old and young. It is so burnished you can see your sins and so deep you can wash them all awav. O mourner, here bathe your bruised sou 1 , and, sick one. here cool your hot temples in this lave. ! Peace ! Do riot cry any more, dear sou.! Pardon for all thy sins, comfort for all thy afflictions. Tho black cloud that hungthunieringover Sinai has floated above Saviour’s Calvary and burst into the shower of a tears. I saw j:i Kensington Garden a picture of Waterloo a good whilo after tho battle had passed and the grass had grown all over the field, There was a dis¬ mounted cannon, and a Iamb had come up from the pasture aud lay sleeping in the mouth cf that cannon. So the artist had represented it—a most suggestive thing. Then I thought how the war be tween God and the soul had ended, aud instead of the announeeaient, “The wages of sin is death, ’ there came tho words. "My peace I give unto thee.” and amid the batteries ot the law that had once quaked with the flervhail of death I beheld tno Lamb ot God, which taketh away the sin of tho world.

There he has worked on his new telescope, which will have no tube. It will be a reflector with n mirror twenty feet in diameter.
