The tabernacle w , •rowded '« the

look "for the subject ul hi* forenoon
fccinnon a pannage of scripture which
Jias been made tlie subject of much
•discussion and various interpretation
by modern theologians. 11 is theme
was. "A < heerful I hurch," and the
text was seiected from Solomon's
v ny 4 l : ' liehold Thou Art l a r
My Love.
•'Higher criticism' sajs that this
booh of tioloiron's Song is a lovetcene,
a forlorn maiden sighing for her l.«au
It ho. it is an unclean and cfcbnuched
utterance inserted in the j lire wort'
•of <• o«l and is not lit for common read-
•ng. My opinion is that it isan inspired
ode sotting forth the feeling of < hrist
toward the cLhreli and of the
church toward Christ. Christ is the
bridegroom and the church is tlie
brido. 1'he same words we can utter
to-day truthfully whether in regard
to the church of Cod in generator this
church in particular: "Meliold. thou
art fair, my love." The past week has
been one of prolonged congratulation
for that we have for twenty-live
years been permitted to associate
with each other in the relation
of pastor and people When I
came to Brooklyn I found a small
band of Christian disciples who from
various causes had become less and
less, until they stood upon the very
verge of extinction as a church; and
the question was being agitated from
time to time whether it would be pos-
sible to maintain a church life longer.
Indeed, had not those men and women
been consecrated ami earnest, they
would have Hit-rendered to the
adverse circumstances. They mar-
shal led a congregational meeting, and.
gathering up all the forces possi-
ble. they east nineteen votes for a
pastor, all of which I am happy tc
have received.
It was not through any spirit of per-
sonal eyurage o- reckiesb adventure
that led me, from one of the warmest
and most congenial pastorates in Phil-
adelphia that a man ever enjoyed, to
this then most uninviting field: but it
was the feeling that Cod had called
me to the work and 1 was sure he
would see me through.
I have thought *111111 it might be
profitable to us to state briefly what
kind of a church we have been trying
to establish.
In the first place. I remark that we
have been trying to build here a
Christian church distinctively such,
in other words, a church where we
fehould preach the Lord Jesus Christ
ajid him crucified. My theology is all
gone into t've letters- -Jesus, .le-
wis, the pardon of all offenses Jesus,
the foundation for all structures .le-
sus, the balm for all wounds Jesus,
.the eye-salve for all blindness. Jesus,
the guide through all perplexitiiis.
Jesus, the hope for all discourage-
ments. Jesu*. the reform for all
wrong.*.. I have faith to believe that
there is more power in one
drop of the blood of Jesus ( hrist
to'cure flic woes of the world than
in an ocean full of huniun <|uacUerv.
Jesus is the grandest note in any min-
strelsy. lie is t'ie brightest gem in
jfnyero.Mi Height overstepping nil
height. 1 he cculcr of every circum-
ference. The circumference to every
center. The pacifier <rf rill turbu-
lence. The umpire of all dispute*
Jesus! Jesus! At his table all nations
are to sit Around his throne all
worlds are to revolve lie is to be the
irradiation of the universe Jesus!
Jesus! It is that truth that we have
tried to preach in this tabernacle.
Ho you asjt more minutciy what we
believe? I can tell you. Wo have no
<ln>, withered, juice!ess theology We
believe in Cod, tbc Leather Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth, the de-
liverer of the distressed, the home for
the homeless, the friend for the friend-
less. We be'lieve in lesus Christ, able
to save to the uttermost pardoning
the guilty, imputing his righteousness
to the believer. We believe in the
Holy Cho&l, the comforter. thcSancti-
Her, cheering up the heart in life's
ills, and kindling bright lights
in every dark landing place. We he
lieve that the whole race is so sunken
in Kin that nothing but the omnipotent
ariiTof fto<! can ever lift it out We
believe in grace -free grace, sovereign
gfhee, triumphant grace, eternal grace.
We believe in a Hible— authentic in its
statements,immaculate in its teachings,
glorious in its promises. We believe
in heaven, the abode of the righteous:
and in hell, the residence of those
who are soul-suicides of their own
free choice refusing the divine inercy.
"We believe in the salvation of all men
who accept Christ by faith, be they
sprinkled or immersed, worship they
iu cathedral or in log cabin, believe
they in I'resbyterianism or Kpiseo-
paey, dwell they under Italian skies
■or in Siberian snow-storms, be they
Ethiopian or American. Alt on'c
in Christ "ne Lord, one faith, one
baptism, on the wuy to one heaven. We
built this tabernacle for the purpose
of setting forth these great theories of
the tiospel of the Son of Cod. Would
that we had been more faithful in the
pulpit' Would 'hatwe had been fnore
-f*:thful in the pew!
I remark, further.that we have tried
here to build a church distinctively
unconventional. Instead of asking,
as some people an; disposed to do,
' how other people do it, we have
jj.sked the question how people do
not do it. Imperious custom has de-
cided that churt lies shall be angi'lar.
cheerless gloomy, unsympathetic; tor-
getting that what men call a pious
gloom is impious, and that that church
has the best architecture where the
people are the most comfortable, and
that that is the most efficient Christian
service where the people are
inade most sick of sin and most
anxious after Christ and heavon;
And so we called the architects
together for our first church bui'diug,
anil said, ' (Jive us an amphitheatre''—
that is, a large family circle, gathered
around a fireplace l*'or many year?
we had felt, that an amphitheatre was

the eoubtry siid. "it can not be done

so we had plan after plan of churchlv

time Cod sent a man who grasped

fad in our work just in proportion as
sve try to he ltku other churches Wt
belie >e that Cod intended
church, like every man, to be individ-
ual, gathering up all its peculiarities
and idiosyncracies. and hurling them
all toward ^ouie good aud grand ob-
ject In other words, no two churches
ought ever to ik* just alike. Here is a
church, for instance, whose object it is
to prepare philosophers aud artists
and critics foe heaven. Cod speed them
in the diflicull work! Here is aehurch,
on the other band, that proposes to
bring only the poor into the kingdom
of Jesus I hrist, looking not after the
rich. Hod speed such a church in its
undertaking! Hut there is a larger
idea that a church may take—bi ing-
ing in the rich nnd the poor, the wise
and the ignorant, the high and the
low: so that kneeling beside each
•'her shall be the man faring sumptu-
ously every day. and the man who

Oh! my friends, we need to break
away from slavery to ecclesiastical
custom We dare not sing if anybody
hears us We dare not preach unless
we have rounded off our sentences to
suit the criticism of the world We
dare not dress for church until
wc have examined the fashion
plates, and would vuthcr stay it
home than appear with r. co.it
or a hat not sanctioned by custom.
W hen wrll the day of del i vera nee ci me
to the church of Coil. when, instead
of a dead religion, laid out in a cat.t
falque of insincerity, wo shall have a
living, bounding, sympathetic, glow-
ing Christianity'.'
I remark, further, that we have
tried here to build and to conduct a
cheerful eli urcli While, asyoukuow.
we have not held back the terrors
of the law. and the stoner doc-
trines of the gospel, we have tried in
this house to present to this people
the idea that the gladdest brightest,
happiest thing in all the universe is
the Christian religion. There is so
much trouble in the world: business
men have so many anxieties; toiling
men have so many fatigues: or-
phans have to many desolations
—lor Hod's sake, if there be any
bright place on earth, show it to
thein. Let the Church of Jesus < hrist
be the most cheerful spot on cartli.
Let me say that 1 do not want any
body to come whining around me
about the Christian religion. I have
no faith in a religion made up :f equal
parts of wormwood, vinegar, and red
pepper If the religion that is pre-
sented to us be a depression, we will
get along better without it If it l e a
joy. let it shine out from your face,
and from your conversation. If a
man comes to my house to talk
of religion with lugubrious counte-
nance. ami manner full of sniftie and
dolorousncss, I feel like Raying to my
wife, "You had better lock up the sil-
ver before lie .steals something." 1
have found it au invariable rule that
men who profess faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, priding themselves at
the same time on their sanctimon-
iousness, always turn out badly.
I never knew an exception. While
those who ate the most con-
sistent. the most useful, and the most
consecrated have perfume in their
conversation, aud heaven in their
face.

BRECKINRIDGE DOOMED,
flu* People of l.eiini;tnii Turn Out En
M HNfM* \)( lllftt III III
Li xim.ton, Ky.. May h .—The best
people of Lexington and Kayette
counties, including several hundred
ladies, turned out yesterday to the
ami-breckinridge meeting at the
opera house. There were 110 hood-
lums present aud the meeting from a
standpoint of morality, was a tre-
mendous success. The opera I10u.se
was filled and ,*.00 people were turned
away. Professor J. W. MeGarvcy, an
eminent minister of the Christian
church, was the first speaker, and he
showed Colonel Breckinridge up in no
favorable light, lie held that it
would be a disgrace to the district,
to the state and to the country to re-
turn such a man to congress, aud
closed his speech by a strong appeal
to the young men to vote against him
The other speaker was Judge M .1.
Durham, who denied Colonel Breckin-
ridge was the only man in the district
who could represent the district in
congress. The speeches were both
well received and made a good im-
pression.
Resolutions were adopted denounc-
ing Breckinri Ige's morals and calling
on the goo I p ede of the district to
raise up iu tueir might and vote
against the silver-tongued persuader.
But when Harry C.Clay got. up and
offered a resolution not only denounc-
ing Breckinridge's morals, but asking
that Senator J. < S. Blackburn be
asked to obtain leave of absence from
the senate, and that he come home
and from the rostrum speak against
Breckinridge, theaudieneo went wild.
The cheering was deafening, and it
was plain to any observer that tho
Breckinridge boom, started by the
silver-tongued orator himself a little
more than a week ago, was badly
strained if not broken.

Washington, May 1 • . The Repub-
lican members of tlic senate were in
caucus at Senator Sherman's house
from 8 o'clock until 11 :.*•«) last night.
The caucus partook more of the
nature of an informal conference
than of a business meeting, and while
it was called with the purpose of ar-
riving at a conclusion as to the method
to be pursued by the Kepublicau party
in the senate, it closed without elicit-
ing anything in the way of a party
declaration. There was no vote on
any proposition whatever, and the
proceedings consisted of a large num-
ber of speeches.
Some of the senators expressed the
opinion at the close of the conference
that another meeting of the minority
party in the senate will be held at an
eurlv day.

If a baking powder is not uniform 111 strength,
so that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it, and uni-
formly good, light food cannot he produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed a falling off in strength. The food
is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
Ii is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket, il not in health, by accepting any sub-
stitute for the Royal Haking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of ali the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
It is always strictly reliable. It i not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its lull leavening power, which no
other powder will, until used, and make more
wholesome food.
