THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN¬
DAY SERMON.
Subject: “The Three Tabebn ci.es,
Story of Trials and Triumphs.”
Text: “Let us make three tabernacles*
—Luke ix., 33.
Our Arab ponies were almost dead with
fatigue, as, in Mount Decimber, 1883, we rode Holy near
the foot of Hermon in the
Lind, the mountain called by one “a
mountain of ice,” by another “a glittering
breastplate of ice,” by another “the Mont
Blanc of Palestine.” Its top has an almost
unearthly brilliance. But what must it
have been in the time to which my text re¬
fers? ‘Peter and James and John were on
that mountain top with Jesus when, sud¬
denly, Christ’s face took on the glow of the
noonday sun, and Moses ani Elijah, who
had been dead for centuries, came out from
the Saviour. heavenly What world an overwhelming and talkai with three— our
Moses, representing the law; Elijah, repre¬
senting the prophets, and Christ, represent¬
ing all worlds.
Impetuous Peter was so wrought upon by
the presence of this wondrous three, that,
without waiting for time to cousider how
preposterous “Let was the proposition, he cried
out, us make three tabernacles—one
for Where Thee, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
would they get the material for
building one build tabernacle, much less material
enough to two tabernacles, and still
less, how would they get the material for
building three? Where Where would they Where get the
hammers? the gold? the
silver? Where the curtains? Where the
costly adornments? Hermon is a barren
peak, place would and to have build been one tabernacle undertaking in such be¬ a
an
yond human achievement, and Peter was
propounding the impossible when he cried
out in enthusiasm, “Let us build three taber¬
nacles.”
And yet that is what this congregitiou
has been called to do and has done. The
first Brooklyn Tabernacle was dedicated in
1870, and destroyed by fire in 1872. The
second Brooklyn Tabernacle was dedicated*
in 1874, and destroyed by fire fa 1889. The
third Brooklyn Tabernacle was dedicated in
April, 1891, and in tbat we are worshiping
to-day. W hat sounded absurd for Peter to
jiropose, when he said on Mount Hermon, in
the words of my text, “Let us build three
tabernacles,” the we have not only God done, but in
mysterious province of were com¬
pelled 1 to do, to this day that at

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 be
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 church and a big indebtedness. We
have now this, the largest Protestant church
in America, and financially as a congrega¬
tion wo are worth, over and beyond all in¬
debtedness, considerably more than $150,000.

long while it had been without a pastor.

Fhiladephia, there were two other commit¬
tees on similar errands from otber churches
toother rooms, whom my wife was enter¬
taining and keeping apart from unhappy
coUtsion. The auditorium of the Brooklyn
church to which I came defied all the laws
of acoustics; the church had a steeple that
was the derision of the town, and a high
fcox pulpit which shut in the be preacher loose, as
though he were dangerous to let
or it acted as a barricade that was unneces¬
sary to keep back the people, for they were
so lew that a minister of ordinary muscle
could have kept back all who were there.
My first Sabbath in Brooklyn was a sad
day, for I did not realize how far the church
was down until then, and on the evening of
that day my own brother, through and whose the
pocket i entered the ministrv, died,
tidings of his decease reached me at 6 o’clock
in the eveninr, and I was to preach at half
past seven. But from that day the blessing
of God was on us, and in three months we
began the enlargement of the building. Be¬
fore the close of that year we resolved to
construct the first Tabernacle. It was to be
a tem porary ttructure, and therefore we
called it a Tabernacle instead of a Temple.
What should be the style of architecture
was the immediate question. I had always
thought tbat theampitheatrical shape would
be appropriate for a church.
Two dsfTngutShed'architects after hovering were em¬ de¬
ployed, and much over
signs they announced to us that 6 uch a
building was impossible for religious pur¬ ani
poses, as it would not be churchly, ruinous
would subject themselves and us to
criticism; in other words, they were archi¬ not
ready for a revolution in church
tecture. Utterly disheartened as to my
favorite style of architecture. I said to ths
trnstees, “Build anything you please, ani I
must be satisfied.” But one morning a
_youug architect appeared at my house and
asked if we had yet selected a plan for our
■cirarch. I said, “No, and what we want we
•cannot get.” “VVhat kind of building do you
want?” he asked. And taking out a lead
pooch in less and than a letter minute envelope by a few from curved my pocket, lines
a
I indicated in the rough what we wanted.
“But,” I said, “old architects tell us it cau’t
be dor*, and thete is no use in you trying.” I
He said, “I can do it. How long can have
to make out the plans?” I said, “This even¬
ing at 8 o’clock everything is to be decided.”
At 8 o’clock of that evening the architect
presented his plans, an 1 the bids of builder
and mason wore presented, and in five min¬
utes after the plans were presented they I
were unanimously adopted. So that
would not be in the way of the trustees dur¬
ing the work I went to Europe, and when I
got back the church was well nigh done.
Bat there came in a staggering hindrance.
We expected to pay for the new church by
the sale of the old building. The old one
bad been sold, but just at the time we must
have the money the purchasers backe l out
and we had two churches and no money.
By the help of God ani the indomitable
and unparallelel energy of our trustees
(here and there one of them present to-day,
but the most in a better world), we got the
building ready for consecration, and on
September 25, 1870, morning held, and 1 eyeniug in the
dedicatory services were an multi¬
afternoon the children, with sweet and
tudinous voices, consecrated the place raised to
God, Twenty thousand dollars were
that day to pay a floating debt. In the

manded by his bishop for preaching although at belong¬ a non-
Episcopal nervice; and we,
ing to another denomination, responded with
heartiness, as though we wre used to the
liturgy, “Good Lord, deliver us!”
During the short time we occupied that
building we had a constant downpour of
religious ewakening. Hosannah! Ten mil¬
lion years in heaven will have no power to
dim my memory of the glorious times we
had in the first Tabernacle, which, because
of its invasion of the usual style of church
architecture, was called by some “Talmage’s
Hippodrome, ’ by others, .“Church of the
Holy Circus,” and by other mirthful nomen-
ciature. But it was a budding perfect for
acoustics, and stoo i long enough to have its
imitation in all the large cities of Araeriei
and to completely revolution^ > church aren-
tecture. People saw teat it was the eo n-
mon sense way of seating an audience.

was an iron structure, and we supposed fire¬
proof, but the insurance companies far looked
at it, and after we had gone too to stop
in its construction they declined to insure it
except for a mere nothing, declaring that,
being of iron, if the inflammable material
between the sheets of iron took fire no engine
hose could play upon it. And they were
right. During those days we educated and
sent out from a lay college under our charge
some twelve huudred young men and
women, many of them becoming evangelists
and many of them becoming regularly or¬ all
dained preachers, and I meet them in
parts of the land toiling mightily for God.
One Sun lay morning in December, 1872,
the thermometer nearly down to zero, I was
on my way to church. There was an excite¬
ment in the street and much smoke in the
air. Fire engines dashed past. But ray
min 1 was on the sermon I was about to
preach, until some oae rushed uo and told
me that our church was going up in the same
kind of a chariot that Elijah took from the
hanks of the Jordan. That Sunday morn¬
ing tragedy, with its wringin j of hands and
frozen tears on the cheeks of many thou¬
sands standing in the street, an i the crash
that shook the earth, is as vivid ak though
ic were yesterday. But it was not a perfect
loss.
All are anxious to do something, and as
on such occasions sensible people are apt to
do unusual thiugs, one of the members, at
the risk of his life, rushed in among the
fallen walls, mounted the the table pulpit and and brought took it a
glass of water from

not a total loss. Within an hour from

capable of great nave been
a constant contributor to newspapers and
periodicals. Meanwhile all things had be¬
come easy in the Brooklyn Tabernacle. On
a Sabbath in October, 1889, I announced to
my congregation that I would in a few
weeks visit the Holy Land, and that the offi¬
cers of the church had consented to my go¬
ing, and the wish of a life to me was about
to be fulfilled. The next Sabbath morning,
about 2 o’clock, or just atter midnight, a
member of my household awakened me oy
saying that there was a strange light in the
sky. A thunderstorm had left the air full
of electricity, and from horizon to horizon
everything seemed to blaze. But that did
not disturb me, until an observation taken
from the cupola of my house declared that
the second Tabernacle was putting on red
wings.
I scouted the idea and turned over on the
pillow for another sleep, but a number of
excited voices called me to the roof, and I
went up and saw clearly defined in the ni^ht
the fiery catafalque of our second Taber
nacle. When I saw that I said to my family
“I think that ends my work in Brooklyn.

BUSINESS IMPROVING.
Dun & Co. Make a Very Favorable
Report for the Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s review of the trade
for the week ending April 1st says: “The
business outlook is distinctly improving.
Two important causes of uncertainty
have been removed during the past week
in the settlement of the Behring sea con¬
troversy and the failure of the silver bill
to pass the house. The former has caused
much selling of American securities by
foreign holders, which has now dimin¬
ished, though no material improvement
in prices or demand for such securities
abroad is yet noticed. The silver ques¬
tion caused an uncertainty in the
minds of many investors, and while
there remained a possibility of an
important change in the currency this
year, all enterprise and business were, to
some extent, affected, but besides the
clearing away of obstacles, there has come
a distinct increase in the marketing of
manufactured products and greater activ¬
ity on many lines of domestic rates.
This is in part due to more favorable
weather in most sections and the improv¬
ed condition of the country roads, and to
the prospects of an early spring.
COTTON FACTORIES ROOMING,
Manufacturers are doing well. Proba¬
bly cotton manufacturers have never
turned out as great a quantity of goods
at any other time as this year thus far,
with less accumulation of products in
the hands of manufacturers or wholesale
dealers. Distribution has been remark¬
ably large and the results of trade gen¬
erally satisfactory, as the prices of ma-
terial have been declining, while goo’ds,
though on the whole as cheap as at any
other time, are fairly maintained in price.
Reports from the various cities are gen¬
erally encouraging. Trade in groce¬
ries is light; in chemicals and to¬
bacco quiet, and in coffee dull. De¬
pression in iron continues, though it is
thought bottom prices have beea reached
and bar mills have full orders. Wheat
has declined 2 5-8, c >rr 12, oil a frac¬
tion and pork 25 cents. Decliae in
wheat is mainly due to shrinkage in
tinue foreign large. demands. As the Western receipts^con¬
new crop draws
nearer and the prospect that it will be
very large, prices naturally tend down¬
ward. Although cotton receipts have
been smaller than a year ago the pressure
of enormous stocks at New York and
abroad have caused a further decline of
1-1,6. Coffee is aiso lower and the gen¬
eral tendency of prices is toward a lower
level.
THE IRON TRADE.
In the iron trade the bottom seems to
have been reached. More business is
seen have at ceased Philadelphia and many furnaces
production, so that fewer
failures are leported, though a new and
large furnace in Alabama begins work.
No improvi ment is seen in bar iron, but
there is some in plates and in structural
iron, the demand is better than a year
ago.
Money markets at New York and
throughout the country are abundantly
supp ied, and there is no sense of anxiety
manifested in any quarters.
Failures during the first quarter of
1892 were 8,384 in the United States
against 3,545 last year, and liabilities
$39,284,349 sgainst'$42,167,631 last year.
In Canada failures were 559 against 557,
liabilities $5,744,872 against $6,043,234
last year. An increase is seen in the
eastern states, but a great decrease at the
we9t, and lorae decrease in every other
section. Business failures occurring
throughout the United country during last week
