THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, fATLANTA. GJU1 TUESDAY JUNE 29 1386, 5 TALMAGE'S SERMON AT ALEXANDER BAY, NEW YORK, YESTERDAY. Hundred* of Dr. Talma**’* Congregation VUII Alex ander Bej to Bear Their ?*itor>8paclal Train* Run-Lmrc* Crowd* Fro** Bor- round Inc village* in Atteadaape, Alexavdoia Bay, N.Y'., Juno 27.—{Spec U!.] 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 •re klnp. The pilgrim of earth going through •res in the one huge pearl ail Igla earthly tears in crystal. O, pie of light, gate of pearl, gate of hteven, for our weary wall el last swing open I ^MiSsss^s; he *" nbaUt **■“ • 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?” I tell yon, the bet it, that the majority of tho peopla in thorn climes di* in Infancy and the infanta ell go straight ieto eternal life, tad so tba vast majority ef those who die in China and India, tba vast mrior ity of those who di* in Africa, p straight Ieto the ikies—they die in infancy. On* hundred and sixty rmirations have been born rite* tba world wu enated, and so I estimate that than moat bo fifteen thousand milUop child ren Inglory. If at s concert twe ft'msaad children sing yaw aoul is raptured within you. 0. the transport, when fifteen thousand million little ones stand up la white before the throne of God, their chanting drawing ont all: the stupendous harmonic* of Dus*ridori ■nd Leiprio and Boston.

Boom yob Boom on the throne*. Boom m the mansion!. Boom on th* river bank. Let the trumpet of invitation be sounded until all earth’s mountains hear the ahrill blast and the gtens echo it.

News! newri A R lorious heaven and twelve gates to it! Hear , O yon thin-blooded nations of eternal win ter! on the north three ptea. Hear ItlOyou bronzed inhabitants panting under equatorial heats! on the south three gttco. 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. Every crown taken. Every harp struck. Every throne mounted.

Now, let America go in with all the Islands of tho sea and ail the other na tions that have called on God. The captives all freed. The harvests all pthezed. The nations ail caved. The flashing splendor of this last pearl begins to move on ita hinge*. Lot two mighty angola put their shoulders to the pte and heave it to with silvery clang. ’Tie donel It thundeml The twelfth pte shut! 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.

Crowds of Strikers overturn •top Trelos from Seise Clssred. sTrsln Is 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 police and membora of tho town of Lako po lice force. A l-ako Shore engine, in chargo of a regular crew, left the roundhoure ahortly after IS o’clock. Two cabooeoo wore attached to it. On each caboose were about fifteen town of Lake police and twenty Plnkorton’a men. Tho train ( recorded at a rate no faster than a walk nntll ts arrival in Englewood, where tho offleore mounted the cow-catchers of both engine* and of cabooees, and the train started off at the rate of twomiluan hour, A crowd of strikers had rushed ahead of tho train while it was proceeding at a alow rate and at a dead ran sot out for Englewood. As the train’s •peed wu accelerated the crowd ' wu soon passed and a storm of stones and cinders were thrown at the men on the onteide of the engine* and caboose*. A cry of rags went np ff»d the throat! of the mob u the engine* dashed by. Soon the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul engine and on* oelonging to the Nickel Plate road passed a crowd of strikers. Th* engine* were on thoir vny to Englewood yard* to de some switching for too road* to which they belonged, but u they psued the crowd thoy were boarded by 100 furious men, who, with out ceremony, took undisputed poseoieion. Then began one of the motCexeltiug races on record, tho panning and punned somo times ran at tho rate of fifty mile* an hour. Matt Pinkerton stood on tho roar platform of the train and threatened the men on the pur suing engine! with hie revolver, bnt without effect. The pursuing engino arrived wlthlu a few feet of the caboose when the town of Lake K ite* Jumped Inside and closed and locked e door behind thorn, leaving Matt Pinker ton and throe ef bis man with nawspopor re porters on the rear platform. Huge lamp* or coal sailed through the air, fol lowed by throe or four coupling pine and a Pinkerton man fall headlong from the platform. “Crack I crack!’’ want Matt Pinkerton’s revolver and a striker fell off the engino. The etrlkeia lumped like sheep, with the exception of a dozen men, at the tret Are, l’ouibly th* othen gave signals to tho on. gloeer to go ahead. Another shower of atone* which smuhed the windows ef the caboose without doing serious damage to any one on the platform and more revolver shots, elao apparently without offset, were fired by the officers, and jut then the canning engine* caught np to and eoaplod on tho Lako Shore train. Th* atrikon' ooglues were reversed and the coupling pin* supped like io many pieces of glare. The Lako Snore train wu stopped (trot u the engine approach ed at a full head of rUam and struck the rear reboots a blow that throw the then thorough ly frightened policemen to the floor and ihlv- erod every nano of glam in the car*. Th* police left the dangerous ground, and held a parley with the atrikora, tho re sult of which was that four engines and two caboose* wan pulled back to the Boot street crowing. On the os- lured caboose and engines, the crowd over turned several box cars on the tracks blocking th* tiro mala tracks. Th* orowd slong th* track* threw atones and *tkor missel* through the window* of th* cabooao. Persons Inside •ought refuge under table* sni benches aqi escaped serious injury. On arrival at Forty- fl ret street they were hailed srith cheer* by a great crowd of strikers snd their sympathiz ers assembled thoro.

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.
