people have no pride of city. Now, New
York is a beautiful city, a lovely < ity. It
lies on both sides the river. The East Ki-. er
isiheira n actor/ of this great throbbing
life. In our time, or in the time of our chil
dren. there will be two or three or four
bridge-; across the East River. More and
in. re we will be one, so that when 1 s eak of
Near York I mean everything from.Spuyten
Duvyil Creek to Gowanus, and I mean more
than 2,000,000 poiu’ation. and what blesses
that part of the city that is on the other side
th- river will bless this; what curses
that will curse this. Sin is gigantic,
uii when it comes to the Hudson or the
East River it steps across it as easily as
vnustep across the figure in a carpet God’s
tk-sing has two wings, and one wing it puts
over that part of our city on the other side
o! the river, and the other wing of b"easing
it puts over us. In its infan y,the g r eat yie
trpolis was let down on tho bank of the Hu 1-
rn. It was as feeble as Moses in the ark of
jullnrd es by the Nile, and,like Miriam th “re
jur fathers came and watt ned it. The ro al

and more magnificent pros|>*rities f i’o i
know that business is iuinred by the inla
ni .us stock gamblers a* d by the g< <ll
ul at ci’s. Y< u know’ that the worst foe <»f
business in Brooklyn an I New York and in
every city i< crime, individual an I oil! ill
crime. Now, when God shall purify th'
commer'ial cod'', when God shall tlrmder
down the lust fraudulent establishment, when
G< d shall put the kevs of b mines; in the
hands of th' hone t men what will a l th it
imply? The purificatb'u of business and
more business and grander b minew. 11 is a
logical sequence. When that day comes—and
lan iv t talking about some guesswor I
am not dt a’in r in an abstraction, but in
something podtitiveand as true as that there
is a God and that He ever presented us the
Bible—in that time in our cities all grievous
taxation will 1 e cone. Now business men
are taxed for everything—city tax, county
tax. State tax. United States tax. license tax.
manufacturing tax—taxes, taxes, taxes. A
bu-iness man mnst make a small fortune to
pay his taxes. We have to pay the boar lof
all the villians in our penitentiaries
We have to support the orphans of
those who plunged into thei’’ graves
through bea tly indulgence. Wo have
to support all the machin »rv of city govern
hient which is vast audand expensive just in
proportion as the crimin il proclivities are
vast and extensive. Whn nays for the stat ion
houses? Who pays for the criminal cour.s ‘
The taxpayers. And I say to you Republi
cans and you Demo rats who aresonietimes
fattening on the public spoils w hile you are
doing nothing for the pub'ic welfare.’ that if
vou do not lessen taxes, and do not, let the
peinlo up all over this land, we will after a
while form a party anti-excessive taxation,
anti-rum, anti-monopo]v, anti-abomi
nation, and you who are living
luxurious now at the public crib
shall not have as much as the wage< of
a street sweeper. Now’ in that time, that
time which is coming in a’l our cities, t .e
time of prosperity spoken of in my text, we
will Dot have to support criminals, for there
will ba no criminals, and virtue will take the
pla eof vice. No more la' ge sums of money
voted for city improvements, w’hich moneys
often before they reach the improvements go
down into the pockets of those who voted
them. No more empaneling of juries to try
ar-on and murder and theft and slander
and bla'kmaiL Criminal courts abol
ishel. Police stations abolished. Abn
houses abolished. Ob, what prosper
ity that will make for all the • itlo?
and for all the land and for all the world In
that time spoken of in my text the chur h s
of Jesus Christ will be e certing a mightier
influence for God. Now churches are some
times envious of eich other and denomina
tions collide with each other, and even min
isters of religion sometimes forgot their
bond of brotherhood. In tho time of which
I speak 1h re will b * just as much difference
o c opinion as there isnow.butno acerbitv.no
bvp ivriticism, no exclusiveness. Why, the
churches of our cities could not bol l one
fourth of the population. The chur hes
that are built, only a few of tho n are
fully occupied, and th * average audience in
A n’erica to-day is less than four hundred.
But in the glorious ti ne of whv-h J s icak
there will be vaster chur hes aud they will
all l»e thronged with worshipers. < )h, what
enthusiasti’’songs they will sing! Oh, what
earnest nr avers they’will offer! Oh. what
sermons they will prearh! Tn our cities now
for the most part w hat is < ailed a sash Ona' le
church is a place t<> w hich peoole come a t Q r
very careful attention to toilet, and they sit
down for a wh lo in a row where th *y want
plenty of room, nobody beside them, and
then if they have any time left from tho
thinking of the store, or the st idv of the
the apparel of the person seated before them
thev listen to a sermon warranted to hit no
man’s sins, or to music tho tune of which no
body knows, and then, after an hour and a
half of yawning, they go home refreshel!
We all feel better after we have had a good
sleen! Why, the music in many of the
churches is a mockery. I have not a culti
vated ear nor a cultivated voire, but n > man
cun do my singing for me any more than ho
can do my praying for me. I like artistic
music. 1 think the dol'ar or five dollars that
1 pay to hoar some queen of song is a good
invest cent but when on the Sabbath we are
a-semi led in religious convocati n and tho
hymn is given o it, an 1 the angels of God
sten from tlie'r throne to cat h th ' music on
their wings, do not 1 t u-; drive them back
bv indifference. T have l>een in churches
where vast sums of money were paid for the
music, and it was exquis te. and it was ar
tistic to the very last point, and yet for all
religious purposes I would rather hive the
outbreaking song of a backwoods Methodist
camn-meetin r . Let one of those artistic
son s that I have so netime; heard sung in
church arrive in heaven, aud how mean
it would look b‘side one of the ere it
doxolozie; of the redeem'd. Whv. if
one of those operatic ars that sometimes
goes up from a church should get three hours’
start it wo i’d bo ovo-ta':en and p issed bv
the hosanna of Sundav-scho >1 children. I
know a < hnr- h where the choir did all tho
singing save one man. who in perseverance
of tho sa nts wen’s right on unt 1 a ■ ommitt/ e
wa’ted on him aud told him he bothered the
choir!
Let those refuse to sing
Who nevo:’ knew our God!
But children of the H avenly King
Should s eak His ioys abroad.

Aud then in his book he gives us the plates
