Tbs congregation of the Brooklyn tabomaolo
this gear hare made pilgrimage to thla place,
accompanied by the Bov. T. DeWitt Talmage,
D.l) , their paator. Many hundred, of them
left Brooklyn on Saturday, June SO, arriving
here the evening of the tame day, and will re
main until Tuesday. Special trains of ears
were provided for them. A multitude fromjtho
surrounding village, joined them today, and
Sr. Talmago preached the following eermon.
Bit subject wu: “An Island Virion;" and hi,
texts, Revelation, i, 9: “I, John, wu in the
Me that is called Patinos;” and Bevelation,
3x1,91; “And the twelvo gates were twelve
' pearl,." The preacher arid:
Sabbath morning finds us amid the Thous
and irie, of tha St. Lawrence. Amid the en
chantment of tho scenery sons* of ns are like
Pint when he u<d: “Whether in the body or
out of the body I cannot .toll.” Not haring
read the geologists’ account of bow thla region
tvu formed, imay surmise that after tho St,
La wren oo began Jttsmsjeriicroll, these islands
were dropped Into it out of tho heavenly
landscape. Islands above us, islands below
tu. Island, ail around us, I am re
minded how much tho islands of the world
have had to do with sacred and profane his
tory. Elba, horn which Napoloon started for
hi, last struggle; and St. Helena, when ho
ended it; island of Guernsey, when the great
soul of Victor Hugo oharod in exile until re
publicanism In France drove back despotism;
Isle of Borneo, when Adoniram Judson
stood, a flaming evangel; the Mediterra
nean island, when Garibaldi rested after
the (mancipation of Italy; islandof Cyprus,
Barnabas preached; Island of Mellta, on which
Paul was shipwrecked; and laitof all but migh
tier than all and man Impressive than all, the
Mand of Patmos, of which my text speaks and
from which St. John, the exiled Ephesian gos-
pelizer, uw the twelve nearllno gates. If God
will help us, we can from thou thousand isles
on this Sabbath morning, ,ee the ume glitter
ing portals,
. Oursnbjectspsaksofa great metropolis, tho
existence of which many have doubted. Stand
ing on tho wharf and looking offnpon the her-
bor, and suing the merchantmen coming up
the bay, the flags of foreign nations
streaming from the top gallants,
you immediately make np your mind that
thou vessels com* from foreign ports, and you
■ay; “That is from Hamburg, and that i, from
Marseilles, and that is from Southampton, and
tiuttla from Havana," and yonr supposition i,
accurate. Bat from tho city oi which I am
now speaking no woather beaten merchant
men or frigates with scarred bulkhead have
ever come. There hu been a vast emigration
into that city, bat no emigration from It, oo far
as our natural vision can descry.
“There is no no h city,” says tho nndevont
astronomer. “I have stood in high towers
With a mighty telescope and have swept the
heavens, and I have soon spots on tho sun and
caverns in the moon; bnt no towers have ever
risen on my vision, no palacos,
no temple*, no chining streets, no
massivo wall. There is no such city.” Even
very good pupie tell me that heaven is not a
material organism, but a grand spiritual fact,
and that tno Bible descriptions or it aro in all
cases to be taken figuratively. I bring in re
ply to this what Christ said, and He ought to
know: “I go to prepare”—not a theory, not a
principle, not a sentlmont—bnt “I go to pre
pare a place for yon.” Tho roenrrectod body
implies this. If my foit is to be reformed from
tho dust, it must have umethlng to
tread on. If my hand la to ba reconstructed
it must have umethlng to handlo. tf my ore,
having gone out in death, is to be reklndlod, I
mast have umethlng to gaze bn. Yonr ad
vene theory steins to imply that the recur-
Xtcted body ie to be hung on nothing, or to
walk in air, or to float amid the intangibles.
Yon may say: If there be material organisms,
then a uni in heaven will be cramped and
hindered in its enjoymonts; bnt I answer: Did
not Adam and Eva have plonty of room in the
garden of Eden? Although only a few mllos
would have described the circumference of
that place, they bad ample room. And do you
not luppou that God In tho Immensities can
build a place large enough to giro tho whole
race room, oven though there ho
ganiimt?
Horschcl looked into tho heavens. As a
Swiss guide puts his Alpine atoek betwua
the glaciers and crosses over from crag to crag,
go Berschol planted hie tclescopo between tho
woride and glided from star to star, until he
oould announce tu no tnat wo live In a part of
the unlveru but sparsely strewn with worlds;
and he peers out into Immensity until h* finds
■ region no larger than our solar system, in
which there aro fifty thousand worlds mov
ing. And Professor Lang says that by a phil
osophic reasoning, there most be somewhere a
world where there la no darknsas, but ever-
luting sunshine; u that I do not know but
that it Is simply becanu we have no tele-
scope iKiwcrful enough, that wo cannot too
into the land whore there ie noderkneuat
all, and catch a glimpso of the burnished pin-
nancies As a (conquering army marching on
to take a city, cornu at niihtlhll to tho
crest of a mountain from which in the midst
of the landscape they see tho cutlea they are
to capture, and rein in their war chargers
and halt and taka a good look before they
pitch their tents for the night; so, now,
coming u wo do on this mountain
top of prospect. I command thla
a iment of God to rein in their thought* and
t, and before they pitch their tents for the
night take one (cod, long look et the gates of
tho great olty. “And tho twelvo gates were
jtwelYe pearls.”
In the first place, I went yon to examine
the architecture of thuo gates. Proprietors
of largo estates are very apt to have an orna
mented gateway. Sometimes they spring an
such of maooniy, tho poets of the gate flanked
Withlionain •Utnary;.the bronze gates rep
resentation of Intertwining foliage, bird haunt
ed, until the hand of architectural genius
drops exhausted, all Ita life frozen Into the
stone. Babylon bad a hnndrodfgatee.ro had
Thebes. Gates of wood and Iron aud stone
There hove
hand to*'”^ work, and for tho
npper city swung a gate such as no eye ever
gaxed on, untouched of Inscription. With the
■ail of hla own cross ba cut into its wonderful
traceries stories of past suffering and of glad
ness to come. There is no wood or. stone or
bronze in that gate', but from top to base and
from sidotoride it is *11 of pear). Not one
piece picked np froas Ceylon banks, and an other
piece from the Persian gulf, end another from
the island of Margarette: hot one solid pearl
picked up from the beach of everlasting light
by heavenly hands, and hoisted aed swung
amid tba shooting of angels. The gloriu of
alebecter vase and porphyry pillar fade out
before this gateway. It puts out the (park of
feldspar and Bohemun diamond. You know
bow cue little precious stone on your Huger
will flash under tho sunlight. But O
the brightness wh-n tho groat gate or
heaven swings, struck through and dripping
with the light of eternal noonday!
Julius Osar paid a hundred and twenty-
five thousand crowns for out pearl. The gov
ernment of Portugal boasted of havings pearl
larger than a pear. Cleopatra and Philip If.
daisied the world's vision with precl**s stones.
But (Other ell throe together'end lift therm
end add to them all the wealth of tho pearl
fisheries, and set them In the panel of our
door, end It does not equal thla magnlflcaot
gateway. An Almighty hand hawed this,
strung this, pollrhed this. Against this gate
way on the one aide, dash all the splendors of
earthly beauty. Against this gate oa tho other
ride, beat the nrgro of sternal (lory. O, the
E ! the gate! It atnkasan laflalte charm
igh every one that passes it. One step
lid# of that rate, and we am peeper*.
One step Ike other side of that fete, end we

• Toy bulwarks with salvation stroog,
And streets of shining gold?"
“0, heaven is not a dull place! Heaven ie
not a contracted place. Heaven Is not a stupid
plaea. “I saw the twelve ptoisnd they wore
twelvo pearls.”
In the second place, I want yon to count the
number of these gates. Imperial pearls and
lordly manors are apt to have one expensive
getaway and th e others tro ordinary; bnt look
around at throe entrances to heaven and roust
them. One, two, three, four, five, six, soven,
eight, nlue, tea, sloven, twelve. Hoar it, ell
the earth and *U tho heavens! Twelvegstee!
I admit this is rather hard on sharp sectari
the world: “Yon go through there or stay
oat,” If a Methodist i* bigoted ho plants two
posts and be says: “Now you crowd in be
tween thoro two posts or stay out." Or par-
haps an Episcopalian may say: “Hare la lit
urgy out of which I mean to make a pte; go
throngh it or stay ont.” Or a Baptist mar
say: “Hero la a water-gate; yon go through
that or yon most stay out." And so In ell
our churches and in our denominations thoro
aro men who make one gate for themselve*
and then demand that the whole world p
tbroogh lb I abhor this contractodnoss in re
ligious views. O, amall-souied man, whan did
God give you the contract for making gates?
I tell yon plainly, I will not go in that
pte. I will go in at any
one of the twelve gates I choose. Here
Is e man who seys: “I can more eerily and
more cioeely approach God through a prayer-
book.” Isay; ‘‘My brother, then use the pray
er-book.” Hero Is a man who says: “I believe
there is only one mode of baptism and that is
Immersion." Then I aay: "Let me plunge you."
Anyhow I say: Away with the gate of rough
peaeiend rotten poets end rutted letch, when
the ro ere twelve ptea and they ere twelve
The fact is that a great many of the churches
in tbit day are being doctrinea to death. They
have been trying to And out all about God’s
decrees, and they want to know who an Moot
ed to bo saved and who Ite reprobated to bo
damned, and they are keeping on dlacurslng
that subject wheu there are millions of souls
who need to have tho truth put straight at
them. They ait counting the number of tooth
In tho jawbone with which Sampson slew
the Philistine*. They lit on the
beach and see a vessel going to pieces in the
offing, end instead of getting into a boat and
palling sway for tho wreck, they lit disouas-
mg tho different styles of oar locks. God in
tended n< to know some things and intended
us not to know others. I have heard scares of
sermons explanatory of .God’s decrees, but
came away more perplexed than when I went.
The only result of such discussion is a great
fog. Hero aro two truths which aro to con
quer the world: Men, s sinner; Christ, a
Saviour. Any man who adepts these two
theories in his religious belief shall have my
right hand in warm grip of Christian brother
hood.
A man cornea down to a river in timo of
freshet. He wants to got across. He has to
swim. What does ho dor Tho flrat thing
ia to pnt off bit heavy apparel and drop
everything he baa In his hands. Ho must
go empty-handed if ho la ping to tho
other bank. And I toll you, when
wo havo coma down to the river of death and
find It swift and raging, we will have to pnt
off all onr sectarianism and lay down onr
cumbrous creed, and empty-haudod put out
for the other shorn*-
“What!" say you, “would you roaoive all the
Christian church into one kind of church?
Would yon make all Chrlstisndom worship in
the eame way, by the some forma?" Ob, no!
You might as well decide that all people shall
cat the same kind of food without roforenoo
to appetite, or wear the same kind of apparel
without reference to tho shape of thdr body.
Yonr ancestry, yonr temperament, yonr ear-
roundings, will deeldo whether you go to this
or that church, and adopt this or that polity.
One church will beat get one man to heaven
and another church another man. I do not
care which one of tho gates you go through.
If you only go through one of the twelve
gatee that Jesus lifted.
Looking out at the one hundred and forty
end four thousand and you cannot tell st what
gate they came in. One Lord, one frith, one
baptism, one glairy sea, one doxology, one tri
umph, one heaven. "Why. Lather, how did
yon get In?” ‘T eame through the third gate.”
“Cranmer, how did yon get in?” “I eame
through the eighth gate.” - “Adoniram Jud-
son, how did you get through?" “I eame
through the seventh pte,” “Hugh MoKatl,
the martyr, how did you gat through?” “1
came through the twelfth gate." Glory to
God, twelve gates, but one heaven I
In the third place, notice tho print* of the
compass towards which then gates look. They
aro not on one side, or on tiro sides, or on three
rides; bnt on four sidae. This is no ffincy of
mine, bnt a distinct announcement. On the
north three gates, on the south three gate*, on
the east three ptea, on tho weal throe ptea.
What does that mean? Why, it
meant that all natlonallttc* aro
inclnded, and it does not make any difference
from what quarter of the earth a man eomas
up: if bis heart is right, there is a gat* open
be fore him. On tho north, three gates. That
mstns mercy for I.upland, and Siberia, and
Nonray, ana 8wooden. On th* tooth, throe
gates. That maant pardon for Hlndoatao,
and Algiers, and Ethiopia. On tho east, throo
S ates. That means salvation for China, and
span, and Borneo. On Ma wrest, ton* gates.
That meant redemption for America. It doss
not make any difference how dark-akinned or
how pale-faced men may be, they will find a
gate right before them. Thorn plucked ba
nanas under a tropical ran. These shot serose
Busnen snows behind reindeer. From Mexi
can plateau, from Koman Campana, from Chi
nese tee-Held, from Holland dyke, from Scotch
Highland!, they come, they come. Heaven
ia nob a monopoly for a fow proclous
souls. It la not a Windaor Castle for
royal fkmlllea. It la not a small town with
small population, bnt John saw It, and he no*
tlced that an anpl was measuring it, and he
measured it thla arty, and then be meeaand it
thst, and whichever way he meeaand it, it
was fifteen hundred mllos; so that Btbylon
aed Thebes, end Tyro and Nlnevah, and St.
Petersburg and Canton, and Pekin and Paris,
and London end New York, end ell the dead
cfUss of the peat and all the living cities of
tho present, added together, would not equal
the census of that gnat metropolis.
Walking slong the street you can, by the
contour of the drerifer of the bee, pees where
a man came from. Y’ou say: "That if a French
man. that ia a Norwegian; that is an Ameri
can.” Bnt the gates that pthar in the right
eous will bring them in irrespective of nation-
rilty. Foreigner* sometimes get homestok.
Some of tho tendered and meat pethetie
Claries have been told of those who lelt their
dime snd longed Ibr It nntll they died. But
the Swiss cornier to tho high residence of
heaven, will not long any more for the Alps,
Standing in the eternal hill*. The Bomian
will not long any more for the luxaiiant har
vest fields he lsft, now that he beers the ham
and the rattle of the harvests of everlasting
light. The royal one* from earth will not long
to go back agstn to the earthly court, now that
tlry stand In the palaces of the sue. Those
who oece lived amid the grove* of spice and
oranges will not long to return, now thst they
stand under the trees of life that bear twelve
manner of fruit.
While I apeak an ever increasing throng ia
patrieg through the gates. Tbey are going up
from ScnrnmbiKj from Patagonlo, from Mad
ras, from Hong Kong. “What!” you sey, “do
you introduce ell the heathen Into glory?”

Boom yob Boom on the throne*. Boom m the

R lorious heaven and twelve gates to it! Hear

But I notice when John aaw there ptes
they were open—wide open. They will not
always be re. Alter awhile heaven will have
gathered up ell it* intended population and
the children of God will have come home.

Lot two mighty angola put their shoulders to

’Tie donel It thundeml The twelfth pte

Once more I want to ahow yon the gate
keeper. There ia one anpl at each one of
these gates. Yon say that ia rtghb Ofcourro
it ia. Yon know that no earthly palace, or
castle, or fortress, would be safe without a sen
try pacing np ana down by night and by day;
and if there were no defence* before heaven,
and the doors ret wide open with no one to
guard them, all the vicious of oarth would go
up after awhile, and all the abandoned ef hell
would go np after awhile; end heaven, instead
of being s world of llghb snd Joy, snd peace,
and blcreednere would bo a world of dazknere
and horror. Bo I am glad to tell you that
while there twelve ptre stand open to let a
great multitude in, there aro twelve anpis to
keep tome people onb Bobeeplerro cannot go
through thoro, nor Hildebrand,{nor Nero, nor
any ofthe debauched of earth who have not
repented ofthelrwlckodnets. If oneof there ne
farious men who despised God, should oomo to
the pte, one of tho keepers would pnt hla hand
on bit shoulder and push him into enter dark
ness. There ia no place In that land for thieves
and litre, and whoromonprb and dofrauders
and all those who disgraced their raco and
fought against their God. If* mlrer should
got In there ho would poll np the golden pave
ment. If a housebreaker should got In thoro,
ho would sot fire to tho mansion. If a libertlno
should get In there he would whisper hla
abominations standing on tho white coral of
the see-beach. Only those who are blood-wash
ed and prayer-lipped will get through. O, my
brother, if you should at last come up to oneof
the gate* and try to got through, and you had
not a pare written by the crushed hand of tho
Son of God, thoptekeepor would with one
glance wither you forever.
There will he a password at tho pte of
heaven. Do yon know what that nassword
ia? Hero comes a crowd of tools np to tho
gate and they aay: “Let me In. Let ma ia. I
was very useful on oarth. I endowed colloga*;
I bntlt churches and was famous for my chari
ties; and having dono so many wonderful
tbinp for tho world, now I come np to get my'
reward." A voice from within stye “I never
knew yon.” Another great crowd oomre up
and they try to pt through. They aay: “We
were highly bonorablo on earth and the earth
bowed very lowly before us. Wa were honored
on earth and now wo oome to got onr honors
In heaven;” and a voice from within sap: “I
never knew yon.” Another crowd advanoea
•nd asp: “We were very moral people on
earth—vory moral indeed—and we coma np
to get appropriate recognition.” A voice an
swers: “I never knew yon.”
After awhile I act another throng approach
the pte and one seems to be spokesmsn for
all the teat, although thoir voices over and
anon cry: “Amen! Amen I” Thla ona stands
at the pte and rep: “Let main. I anus
wanderer from God. Idreonrotydle. I have
com* np to this place not hectare I dotorvo it
bnt because I have heard that thoro 1* a saving
pdwer in the blood of Josnb” Tho gate-hoop-
•r tap: “That ia tho password, 'Joans! Jo
ses I'” and they pare in and tbsy surround
the throne, and the cry is: “Worthy la th*
Lamb that was slain to recoin power, aud
richoa, and wisdom, and atrongth, and honor,
aud glory, and blcMlng.” O, whan baavan is
, all done and tho troops of Godahoub "tho

Care on the Trsek to
Cbicaoo, June SO—Shortly after the Lake
Shore ttriken blockaded the track* last night
by throwing a lot of empty car. eerore from
the Book Island tracks, the night express con
stating of eleven ooachaa, end carrying the
United States mall, ran down the west bound
track bnt finding the track blookad, ran back,
and war switched on the east bound track at
tho rate of about elgh^ miles per hour. At
FUty-flrat street, just before tho
tiain reached the switch a man
ran ont and turned tho twitch
as the train eame along, Tho locomotive Im
mediately jnmpcd tho track, carrying tho ten-
dor and forward truck of tho flrat coach off
with it. For e minute there war a terrible
jarring end knocking about, end tho train
came to s standstill. The locomotive had ran
over bare tire for more than a hundred feet
and finally, pushing twe of them apart, rank
into the mud. Tho lever was reversed end
efforts made to hack upon the track, but with
out success, The engineer of the express, al
though not enepeotlng that a fiendish attempt
would be made upon hla train, neverthelets,
went only at half speed, and by doing to prob
ably prevented a moat serious wreck and a
great lore of life. In the meantime, In trying
to get the freight train on the track, the east
bound track became bloekcd and It was
tome time before a Bock Island dum
my could approach from behind.
Finally tho freight oars were placed
on the track and the dummy able to reach
tho last coach of the express. A heavy rope
was flutened between them and after s half
hour’s work, the locomotive, tender and coach
wore again placed on tho rails. Tho cars and
engine wore examined, and after being found
not to have been injured by the
accident, again started on their journey,
being about an hour and a half late. The
engineer of tho train and several others aaw
the man who tamed the switch, and are etr-
tain they could Identify him If they oould
aooblm again. Tho iwltohmen declare they
know nothing about It; in fact, several of them
Insisted in placing the train In order again,
no further attempt was made after thla to get
afro Igbt train out.
The railroad company was engaged this
morning in endeavoring to clear the tracks on
South Forty-third street of the wrecked trains
which remained their over night. Nearly all
the track from 434 to Kith streets was blocked
tble morning with partially overturned care.
Traffic on both tno Lake Shore and Book
Island railroad wu uolayed In
bon sequence. By ten o'clock tho tracks had
been pretty thoroaghly cleared, Daring the
night the roundhouse* and other property of
the Lako Shore wu gnaidod bp Pinkorton’a

a regular crew, left the roundhoure ahortly

Exposure and Conviction.
The information contained in the report made by the
hygienic authorities of the Nation on food adulteration is not
only valuable, but suggestive. The people of this country
are getting to a point where they will not much longer brook
the trifling with adulterators. In this connection we wish to
say that we believe that the public will not forget the Price
Baking Powder Company, for their effort, heroic and single-
handed as it was, to bring the bread-tainters of the world to
exposure and conviction. The Issue of their war was purity
in human diet, and the decision of the National Food Analysts
was that DR. PRICE'S CREAM BAKING POWDER was
the only one they could recommend to general family use
being free from ammonia, lime and all drug taint.
