seemed all out of order. I tried a number
of remedies, but none seemed to give me
relief until I was induced to try the old relies
tele Ayer's Pills. I have taken only one
box, but I feel like a new man. I think they
are the most pleasant and easy to take of

Tears,' Yea, • Tvienty Five . Centuries,
nave Not Changed Human Nature a
Particle.
BROOKLYN, May 6.�This was a great
day in the history of,, the Brooklyn Tab-
ernacle. The figures in flowers back of
the platform, 1869 and 1894, indicated
Rev. Dr. Talmage's time of*coming, to
Brooklyn, and the present celebration,
and wall introduc,ory to the great meet-
ings in honor of,Dr. Talmage's pastorate
to take place on the following Thursday
and Friday, presided over by the Mayor
of this city, and ex -Secretary .of the
Navy, General Tracy, and tt be partici-
pated in by Senators and Governors and
prominent,men from north. eout1i, east ,
'T
and west. The subject of the sermon to-
daywas the Generations, tile. text being
Ecclesiaste's 1: 4 ; "Oue generation pass-
eth away, and another generation com-
eth."
- According to the longevity of the peo-
ple in their particular century has a
generation been called a hundred years,
or fifty years, or thirty years, " By cotn-
,mon consent in our nineteenth century,
a generation is fixed at twenty-five
years.
The largest procession that ever gloved
is the procession of years, and the great-
est army that ever matched is the artily
-of generations. In each . generation
there are about nine full regiments of
days. These 9125 days in each genera-
tion march* with wonderful precision.
They never break ranks. They never
ground arms. They never pitch tents.
They never Balt. They are never off on
furlough., They cameout of the eter-
nity past, -and they move en toward .he
eternity future. They cross rivers with-
ceit any bridge or boats. The six h in-
dred immortals of the Crimea- dashing
into them cause no confusion. They
move as rapidly at midnight as at nritl-
noon. Their haversacks are full of g ' od
bread and bitter'aloes, clusters of ri h-
est vintage and bottle of agonizing to rs.
With a regular tread that no order of
"double quick" can hasten, or obstacle
coin slacken, their tramp is on, and on,
and on and on, while mountaius cruci-
ble and pyramids die. "One generation
passeth, and another generation coin-
@th."
This is my twenty-fifth anniversary
sermon, 1869. and 1894. Jt is twenty-five
years since I assumed the Tabernacle pas-
torate. A whole generation has passed,.
Three generations we have known: That
which preceded our own, and that
which is now at the front, and the ore
coming on. • We are at the heels of our
predecessors, and our successors are: at
our heels. What a generation is it as
that proceeded us 1 We who are 'law
in the fi'ont regiment are the only ores
competent to tell the new generationjust rhowlcoming in sight who our pre-
decessors were. Biography cannot tje11
it. • Autobiography cannot tell it.` I3lo-
g_ apiiies are generally written by special
friends of the departed, perhaps by wife,
or son, or daughter, and they only 'till
the good things. The biographers) Of
one of the first presidents of the United
States make no record of the presideit 's
account book now in the archives of ;alae
Capitol, which I have seen, telling howuch he lost or gained at the 'gamiug
able. The biographers of one of 't le
arly secretaries of the United States
never described the scone that day wit-
iessed when the secretary was carried
orris dead drunk from the state apart t-
ments to his own home. Atitobiograpliy
s written by the man Himself, and none would record for future times his
tan weakness and moral deficits. Those
tt 40 keep diaries put down only things
hat read well. No man or woman alt .t
ver lived would dare to make full i.e-
ord of all the thoughts and words of a
fetime. We who saw and heard much
f the generation marching just ahead
1 us are far more able than any book -
describe accurately to our successdrs
lio our predecessors were. Very muoli
ke ourselves, thank you. Human na-
re in theta very much like human na-
ire in us. At our time of life they

our teens, and at the time they were in:
ieir twenties they were very much til e.
ou who are in your twenties, Human
ature got an awful twist sunder a fruit
ee in Eden, and though the grace of
od does inuch to straighten tltinge,
cry new generation has the lathe
visc, and the same work of - straighten.
g out has to be done over again.
A mother in the country ldistricts; e.*-
cting the neighbor's at her table on
me gala night, . had with her ov n
nds arranged everythiug in taste, and
she wag about to turn from it to re-
ive her guests, sate her little child by
cideht upset a pitcher all over the
lite cloth and soil everything, and the
other lifted her -hand to slap the child,
t she suddenly retnembered the time
ren a little child herself in her fatner's
use, where they had always before
en used to candles, ou the purchase of
lamp, which was a matter of rarity
d pride, she took it in her halids and
opped it, crashing it to pieces, and
king up in her father's face, expect -
chastisement, heard only the words ;
is a sad loss, but never mind; • you
not mean to do it." History re-
ts itself. Generations wonderfully
ke. Among that generate -1 that is
t, as in our own, and as it win be ite
generation following us, those who
ceeded became the target, t 'ot at by
se 'who did not . succeed. - those
es, as in 'ours,, a man's bitterest}
rnies were those whom he had te-
nded and helped. Hates, jealousies
revenges were just as lively in 1869
n 1894. Hypocrisy sniffled and look -
solemn Hien as now. There was just;
much avarice among the apple
rels as now among the cotton hales,
among the wheelbarrows as among
locomotives. The tallow candles
the same sins that are now found
er the electric lights. Homespun
just as proud as `is the ' modern
ion plate. Twenty-five years—yea,
my -five centuries—have not clang•
mean nature a particle. I say this
the encouragement of those Wllo
k that our times monopolize all the
minations of the ages. One minute

Eve left the gate she was just like
0 woman 1 All the faults and
are many times centenarians. Yea,

phis were as much worse than our
ern cities as you might expect, from

Within. that tithe have been perforr,•,ed
the miracles of the telephone and the
phonograph. From the observatories
other worlds have been seen to heave in
sight. Six presidents of the United
States have been inaugurated. Trans,
Atlantic voyaive abbreviated from ten
days to five ad a half. Chicago and
New 'York, once three days apart, note
only twenty -foul hours by the vestibule
limit.. Two additional railroads have
been built to the Pacific. France has
passed from monarchy to republicanism.
Many of the cities have nearly doubled
their populations. During that genera
ation the chief surviving heroes of the
Civil War have gone. into the encamp -
Anent of the grave:_ The chief physi-
sians, attorneys, orators, . merchants,
have passed offs the earth, or are in re-
tirement waiting for transition: -Other
'min in editorial chairs, in pulpitis in
Governor's mansions, in legislative, sen-
:atorial and congressional halls. There are
not ten men or women on the earth now
prominent who were prominent twenty-
five years. ago. The crew of this old.
ship of a world is all changed. Others
at the helm, others on the "lookout,"
others climbing the ratlines. Time is a
doctor who with potent anodyne has put
an entire generation into sound sleep.
Time, like another Cromwell,has rough-
ly prorogued parliament, and with
iconoclasm driven nearly all the rulers
except one Queen from their high
places. So far as I observed that gener-
ation. for the most part they did their
best. Ghastly exceptions, b'.tt so far as
I know them they did quite well,, and
many of them gloriously well. ' They
were born at the right time, and they
died at the right time. They left the
world better than they'' found it. We
are indebted to them for the fact that
they prepared the way for our coming.
1894 reverently and gratefully salutes
1869. "One generation passeth away,and
another generation cometh."
There are fathers and mothers here
whom I baptized .in their infancy. There
is. not one person in this church's Board
of Session or Trustees 'who was here
when I came. Here and there in this
vast assembly is one person who heard
my opening sermon in Brooklyn, but not
more than one person in every Ave hun-
dred now present. Of _ the seventeen
persons who gave me a unanimous call
when I came, only three, I. believe, are
living.
But this sermon is not a dirge ; it is an
anthem. While this world is appropriate
as a temporary stays as an eternal resi-
dence it would be a dead failure. It
would be a dreadful sentence if our race
were doomed to retrain here a thousand
winters and a thousand summers. God
keeps us here just` 1onk enough to give
us an appetite for heaven. Had we been
born in celestial realms' we would not
have been able to appreciate the bliss.
It needs a good many rough blasts in
his world to qualify us to properly esti-
mate the superb climate of that good
and where it is never too cold or too
hot, too cloudy or too glaring. Heaven
will be more to int than to those supernal
beings who were never tempted, or sick;
or bereaved, or tried, or disappoiated.
o you may well itake my; text out of
he minor key and set it to some tune in
he major key --`.'One generation passeth
way, and another generation cometh."
Nothing can rob of of the satisfaction
hat uncounted thousands of the genera -
ion just past were converted, comfort -
d and harvested for Heaven by this
hurch, whether in the present building,
✓ the three preceding buildings in
hich-they worshi<pppd. The two great
orgaus of the previous churches went
own in the memorable 'fires, but the
>nultitudinous songs they led year after
ear were not recalled or injured. There
no power in earth or hell to kill a
allelujah. It is impossible to arrest a
oianpa. What a satisfaction to know
hat there are many thousands in (Igor
n whose eternal welfare' this Church
rought mightily t Nothing can undo
at work. They have ascended, the
ultitudes who served God in -that
at
generation. Thchapter is glorious -
ended. But that generation eras
ft its impression upon this genera -
on. A sailor was dying on ship-
ard and he said to his mates, "my
sols, I can only think of one passage
Scripture, 'the soul that _ sinneth
shall die,' and that keeps ringing
my ears. 'The soul that sinneth it
all die,' can't you think of something
se in the Bible to cheer me up ?" Well,
Hors are kind and they tried to think
some other passage of Scripture with
Well to console their dying comrade,
t they could not. One of them said,
Let us call up the caoin boy. , His
other was a Christian, and I guess he
s a Bible." The cabin boy was called
, and the dying sailer asked hlrn if he
d a Bible. He said, "Yes," but he
uld not exactly find it, and the dying
for scolded him, and said : . "Ain't
u ashamed .of yourself not to read
ur Bible ?" So the boy explored the
atom of his trunk and brought out the
ble, and his mother had marked a
age that just fitted the dy"'ing sailor's
e : 'The blood of Jesus Christ His
n cleanseth from all sin." That help -
the sailor to die in peace. So one
eration helps another, and goo
ngs written, or said, or done are re-
duced,long afterward. .
uring the passage of the last genera•
n some peculiar events have unfolded.
e . - day while resting at Sharon
rings, N.Y., I think it *as in 1870, the
✓ after my settlement !n Brooklyn,
while walking in the park of that
ce, !I found myself asking the quer•
, "I wonder if there is any special[
sion for me to execute in this world I
here is, may God show it- to me 1"
re soon came upon me a great de
to preach the Gospel through the
Iar printing press. I realized that
vast majority of people, even in
istiaa lands, never enter a church
that it would be an opportunity of�
ulness in#iuite if that door of publi-
ott were opened. And so I recorded
prayer in 'a blank book, and offered
prayer day in and day out until the
ver came, though in a way different
that which I had expected, for
me through the misrepresen Cation
persecution of enemies, and I
to record it for the encouragement
all 'ministers of the Gospel

too procession or Dfessings has gone a
. precession of disasters. 1 ani preaching
to tray in the fourth church building
since I began in this city. My first ser-
Imcu was in the old church on Scher -
I innrhorn street, to an audience chiefly of
empty seats, for the church was aalmostextinguished. That church filled and
overflowing, we . built a larger chinch,
which after two or three years disap-
peerecl in fiam Then we built another
church, whioi/alwo in a line of fiery
succession disappeared in the sante way,
Then we put up this building, and may
it etas d for many years, a fortress of
right ousness, and a lighthouse for the
stch ni-tossed, its gates crowded with
vast assemblages long after we .had ceas-
ed to frequent them.We have raised in this church over
out million and thirty thousand dollars
for , church charitable purposes during;
the present pastorate, while we have
given, free of all expense, the Gospel to
hundreds of thousands of strangers,
year to year. I record with gratitude to
God that during this generation of
twenty-five years, I remember but two
'Sabbaths that I have missed service
through anything like physical indis-
position. Almost' a fanatic on the sub-
ject ef physical exercise, I have made
the ?Parks, with -which our city is blessed,
the means of good physical condition.
A daily walk and run in the open air
have kept me ready for work and in
good humor with all the world. I say
to ail young ministers of the Gospel, it is
easier to keep good health than to regain
it when once ictal. The reason so many
good men think the world is going to
rule is because their own pliytca
diti con -
ion is on the down grade. No- man
ought to preach who has a diseased
Liver, or an enlarged spleen. There are
two. things ahead of us that ought to
keep us cheerful in our work—Heaven
and the Millennium.And now, having come up to the
twenty-fiftlt `milestone in my pastorate,
I wonder how many more miles I am to
travel? Your company has been ex-
ceedingly pleasant, 0 my dear people,
gut I wuuld like to march by your side
until the generation with whom we are
now moving abreast, and step to step
shall have stacked arms after the last,
battle. But the Lord knows best, and
we ought to be willing to stay or go.
Moat of you are aware that I propose
at this time, between the close of My
twenty-fifth year of pastorate end be•
fore the beginning of my twentv-sixth
year, to be abseut for a few months. in
order to take a journey around the
world. I expect to sail from San Fram
(deco tin the stealner Alameda, Islay 31st.
My place here on Sabbaths will be fully
occupied, while on Mondays, awl every
:timidity, I will continue to speak

hes ecoomplished. I want to -see how
the Missionaries have been lied about as

halOW whether the heathen religions are

tlley; were represented by their adherents
in the Parliament of Religions at Chi-
cago. I want to see wheter Mohamme-
danism and Buddhism would be good
things for transplantation in America
as it'has again and again been argued.
I want to hear the Brahmins pray.
want to test whether the Pacific
Ocean treats its guests any, better than
does' the Atlantic. I want to see the
wondrous architecture of India, and the
Delhi and Cawnpore where Christ was
crucified in the massacre of his modern
discieles, and the disabled Jugeernaut
un wheeled by Christianity; and3to see
if the Taj which the Emperor Shah
Jean built in honor of his Empress,
really means any more than the plain
slab we put above our dear departed. I
want to see the fieldsj where Havelock
and Sir Colin Campbell won the day
agaipst the Sepoys. I want to see the
world from all sides: how much of it ie
in• darkeess hoW much of it is in
light ; what' the Bible means by tile
"ends of the earth," and get myself
ready to appreciate the extent of the
present to be made to Chriet as spoken
of io the Psalms, "Ask of Me, and I
shall give thee the heathen for thine in-
heritance, and the uttermost parts of the
earth for thy possession," and so I shall
be eeady to celebrate in heaven the
victories ot Christ in more rapturous
song than I could have rendered had I
never seen the heathen abominations be-
fore ithey were conquered. And se I
hope to come back refreshed, reinforced
atid better equipped, and to do in fen
yeare more etfectual work than I have
done'in the last twenty-five,
And now„ in this twenty-fifth anni-
versary sermon I prop&se to do two
things : First. to put a iarlaud on the
grave of the generation ithat has just
passed off,‘and then to put 'a palm branch
in the hand of the generation just now
coming on the field of aCtion. For my
text is true : "One generation passetu
away, and another generation cometh."
Oh, how many we revered, and honor-
ed, and loved in the last generation
that quit the earth. Tears fell at the
tinie of their gOitige and dirges were
sounded, and signals of mouruing
were put on; but neither tears nor
dirge, nor sombre veil told the hal'f we
felt. Their going left a vacapcy in our
souls that has never been filled tin. We

pains this season in selecting our atock. Although we have not made a
sonal trip to European countries, we have had the agents of plentiful -1u
from England, Scotland, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland at
doors, each one of whom was confined to ourselves for taking orders in
vicinity. Of course, we do not pretend to say that we impnrt all lin
'goodawe handle from the older -countries. Canada, with the protection air
ed her, has come to the front with many lines of goods, notably Staples
Clothing. In these we have endeavored to select the very best values
local makers. Our kook of Silks, Dress Goode, Linens, Hosiery And Gle
will be found exceptionally fine. Prints and Cretonnes, Millinery goods,

Priestley's Dress Goods

A good name is more potent than thrones and king-
doms. In business a good name is vital. The name of
T'riestley is a synonym for what is delicate, durable and
beautiful in Black Dress Goods. In England' iris a house -
half word. Priestley's dress fabrics are worn by the well dressed women -of
Greet Britain, while on this side, they have attained to general fetvor. Ladles
shotild buy no other black dress goods tifi-they have seen Priestley's. They add
to an unequalled durability, a beautiful draping quality. Women of taste understand
'whik that means in the success of a costume.
