Betomem'ete, April S. -Before .no audience
in the world could, slush s riermon as Rev.
Dr Tallying preecherno-diey be so appro-
priate , as m the Brooklyn Taberneole,
where it is estimated that 150,000 straogere
tettencl every year. It was a semen that
had for them a special intereet The text
selected, was Metthew, 25 ; 35---" I Was a
stranger and ye took Me in."
It is a incual disaster that- jocosity has
despoiled Bo many passagee of Seripture,
and my text is ono that has suffered from
irreverent and misapplied quotation. It
shows great poverty of wit and humour
when people take the Sword of divine truth
for a game at fencing, or chip off from the
Kohinoor diamond of inspiration a sparkle
to decorate a fool's cap. My text is the
salutation in the last Judgment to be given
to those who have shown hospitality, and
kindness, and Christian helpfulness to
strangers. By railroad and steamboat the
population of the earth are all the time in
motion, and from one's year's end to an-
other our cibies ate crowded with visitors.
Some of theta come for purposes of
barter, some for mechanism, some for
artistic gratification, some for sight-seeing.
A great many of them go out od the
evening trains, and consequently the city
makes but little impression upon them;tbut
there are multitudes who, in the hotels and
boarding-houses, make their temporary
residence. They tarry here for three or
four days, or as many weeks. They spend
the days in the stores and the evenings ,
sight-seeing. Their temporary stay will
make or break them, not only financially,
but morally, for this world and the world
that is to come. Multitudes of them come
into our morning and evening services. I
am conscious that 1 stand in the presence of
many this moment. I desire more espec-
ially to speak to them. May God give me
he right word and help me to utter it in
the right way.
There have glided into this house those
unknown to others whose history, if told,
would be more thrfilling than the deepest
tragedy, more exciting than Pattes song,
more bright than the spring morning, more
awful than a wintrymidnight If you could
stand up here and tell the story of their es-
capes, and their temptations, and their
bereavements, and. their disasters, and their
victories, and their defeats, there would be
in this house such a commingling of groans
eud acclamations as would make the place
unendurable.
There is a man, who, in infancy, lay in a
cradle rottindined. Out yonder is a man
who was picked up, a foundling, on Boston
Common. Here is.a man who ismcoolly
lbserving this reiigione service, expecting
no advantage, and caring for no adsvantage
for himself ; while yonder is a man who has
'teen for tea years in an awful conflagration
of evilhabits, and is a mere cinder of a de-
.troyed netureguad he is wondering if there
rhall be in this service any escape or help
=or his immortal soul. Meeting you only
once' perhaps, face to face. I strike hands
withyou in An earnest talk about your
present condition, and your eternal well-
being. St. Paul's ship at Melita went to
pieces where two seas meet; but we stand
co -day at a point where a thousand seas
converge, ami eternity alone can tell the
issue of the hour.
The hotels of this eountry, for beauty
and elegance, are not surpassed by the
hotels in any other land; but those that are
!nest celebrated for brilliancy of tapestry
and mirror cannot give to the guest any
costly apartment, unless he can afford a
parlor in addition to his lodging, The
etranger, therefore, will generally find as-
signed to him a room without any pictures,
and perhaps any rocking -chair. He will
find a box of matches on a bureau, and an
old newspaper left by the previous occu-
pant, and that will be about all the orna-
mentation. At seven o'clock in the even-
ing, after having taken his repast, he will
look over his memorandum -book of the day'a
work ; he will write a letter to his home,
then a desperation will seize uporr him to
get out. You hear the great city thunder-
ing under your windows, and you say, "1
must join that procession," and in ten
minutes you have joined it. Where are
you going? "Ob," you say, "1 haven't
made up my mind yet." Better make up
your mind before you start. Perhaps the
very way you go now you will always go.
Twenty years ago, there were two young
men who came down the Astor Housesteps,
and started out in a wrong direction,
where they have been going ever since.
" Well, where are you going ?" says one
man. "I am going to the Academy to hear
some music." Good. I would like to join
you at the door. At the tap of the orchestra
baton, all the gates of harmony and beauty
will open before your soul. 1 coneratulate
you. Where are you going? "Well," you
say, "I am going up to see some advertised
pictures." Good. I should like to go along
with you and look over the same catalogue,
and study wfth you Kensett, and Bierstadt,
and Church, and Moran. Nothing more
elevating than good. pictures. Where are
you going? "Well," you say, "I am going
m to the Young Men's Christian Associa-
ion rooms." Good. You will find 'there
ymnastics to strengthen the muscles and
ooks to improve the mind, and Clastiar
nfluerme to save the soul. I wish every
ity in the United States had as fine a
alace for its Young Men's Christian
seociation as New York has. Where are
ou going? " Well, you say, I am going
o take a long walk up Broadway, and
o turn bath the flowery. 1 am going to

noes house that *ries to get or keep yoor

establishments in our cities which have for

and thousands of meronts, .They have

mare not how high-sounding the name of a
commercial establishment; if it proposes
to get oustoigers or to keep • them
by such a process as that, drop
their acquaintance. They will cheat
you before yen get through. They will
send you a style of goods different from
that which you bought by sample. They
will give you under.weight. There will
be in the package half a dozen less pairs of
suspenders than you paid for. They will
rob you. Oh, you feel in your pockets and
say "Is my money gone ?" They have
robbed you of something for which dollars
and cents can never give you compensation.
When one of these Western merchants has
been dragged. by one of those commercial
agents through the slums of the city he is
not fit to go home. The mere xnernory of
what he has seen will be moral pollution.
I think you had better let the city mission-
ary and the police attend to the exploration
of New York and underground life. You
do not go to a smallpox hospital for tee
purpose of exploration. Yon do not go
there because you are afraid of contagion.
And yetyougo into the presence of a moral
leprosy that is as much more dangerous
to you as the death of the soul is worse
than the death of the body, I will under-
take to say that nine -tenths of the men
who home been ruined in our eities have
been ruined by simply going to observe,
without any idea of participating. The
fact is that underground city life is a filthy,
fuming, reeking, pestiferous depth, whieh
blasts the eye that looks at it. In the
reign of Terror, in 1792, in Paris, people
escaping from the officers of the law got
into the sewers of the city, and crawled
and walked through miles of that awful
labyrinth, stifled with the atmosphere and
almost dead some of the' whe th
n, n ey came
out to the river Seine, where they washed
themselves and again breathed the fresh
•air. But 1 have to tell you that a great
many of the men who go on the work of
exploration through the underground
gutters of New York life never come out
at any Seine river where they can wash off
the pollution of the moral sewage. Strang-
er, if one of the representatives of a com-
mercial establishment propos=s to take you
and show you the "sights" of the town and
underground New York, say to him :
"Please, sir, what part do. you propose to
show me ?"
About sixteen years agoeas a miniater of
religion I felt 1 had a divine commission to
explore the iniquities of our cities. I did
not ask counsel of my session, or my Pres-
bytery, or of the newspapers, but asking,
the companionship of three prominent
police officials and two of the elders of my
church, I unrolled my commission, and it
said, "San of mom, dig into the wall ; and
when I had cligged into the wall, behold a
door; and he said, go in and see the wicked
abominations that are done; and I went in,
and saw, and behold 1" Brought up in the
country, and surrounded by much parental
care, 1 had not until that time seen the
haunts of iniquity. By the grace of God
defended, I had never sowed my "wild
oats." I had somehow been able to tell
from various sources something of the in-
iquities of the great cities, and to preach
against them; but I saw, in the destruc-
tion of a great multitude of the people,
that there must be an infatuation and
temptation that had never been spoken
about, and I said, "1 will explore."
I saw thousands of men going down,
and if there had been a spiritual per-
cussion answering to the physical
percussion, the whole air would have
been full of the rumble, and roar, and
crack, and thunder of the demolition, and
this moment, if vee should pause in our
service we should hear the crash, crash 1
Just as in the sickly season you eometimes
hear the bell at the gate of the cemetery
ringing almost incessantly, so I found at
the gate of the cemetery where ruined souls
are buried it was tolling by day and tolling
by night. I said, "I will explore." I went
as a physician gem into a fever lazaretto,to
see what practical and useful information I
might get.
When the lecturer in a medical college is
done with his lecture he takes the tudents
into the dissecting roormand he shows them
the reality. I went and saw,and carte forth
to my pulpit to report a plague, and to tell
how sin dissects the body, and dissects the
mind, and dissects the soul. "Oh 1" say
you, "are you not afraid that in mense.
quence of such explorations pf the ini-
quities of the city other persons might make
explorations, and do themselves damage ?"
I reply, if, in company with the Commis.
sioner ef Police, and the Captain of Police,
and tlfe Inspector tat Police and the com-
pany of two Christian gentlemen, and not
with the spirit of curiosity but that you
may see sin in order to combat it, then, in
the name of the eternal God, go? Bat if
not, etay away." "Wellington, standing in
the battle of Waterloo when the bullets
were buzzing around his head„, sew a civil-
ian on the field. He said to him, "Sir,
what are you doing here? Be offl " "Why,"
replied the civilian, "there is no More dan-
ger here for me than there it for yen,"
Then Wellington fluehed upend said, "God
and my country demand that I be here, but
you have no errand here," Now I, as an
officer in the army of jesue Christ, went on
that exploration, and on that battlefield.
If you bear a comniission, go; if not,
stay away. But you see, "Don't you
think somehow the description of these
plaoes induced peoPle • to go and
see for themselves ?" 1 answer, yes
just as much ati the deseription of yellow

A good many years ago Edward Stanley,
the English commander, with his regiment,
came olose up to the fort, leading his men,
when a •Spaniard thrust at him with a
spear, intending to destroy his life; but
Stanley caught hold of the spear, and the
Spaniard, in attempting to jerk the spear
away from Stanley, lifted him up into the
battlements. No sooner had Stanley taken
his position on the battlements than he
swung his sword, and his whole regiment
leaped after him, and tho fort was taken.

• VVe watch joseplo a handsome youth of
seventeen years, aarriedv,r I a slave into
Egypt and sold to Potiphs,r, the captain of
the king's guard. He was among strangers,
idol worshipers and people of low moral
standard. Yet during the thirteen years
of his life as a slave we find that he was true
to his early training in righteoutinese, and
pure, indeed, in the face of the most severe
temptation to wrong acts. He was a slave,
withno encouragement to self-respeet yet
he was loyal to his master's interests and
faithfel in every trust cemmitted to him.
He was surrounded by people who worship-
ed gods of wood and stone, yet hecontinued
steadfast in his service of the unseen God of
his fathers: He was falsely accused of
a foul crime, and passed year of hie life in
the twilight of a prison, yet he never lost
his cheerfulness of heart, his helpful and will-
ing spirit, and his trust in God. At last he
was suddenly called into the presence of
the King of Egypt. He used his opporbun-
ley with such teog such modesty, and such
manifest ability that the slave of one day
became the ruler of Egypt upon the next.
In the palace he showed the. same traits he
hod shown in his father's tent and Poti-
phares house. He was energetic and able
in administration; forecasting the famine
during the years of plenty. He retained
his religious fidelity, in the palace worship-
ed Jehovah, and brought. up his children in
the true religion. Often he must have
thought of his home at Hebron and his
aged father, but he waited until God, who
had led him thin far, should lead to tidings
frons his family.
PRACTICAL MTH&
Verse 3S: And Pharaoh. Pharaoh, "the
sun," was a general title, like " Omar,"
applied to .all the kings of Egypt. Some
suppose that thie Pharaoh was named
Apophis. His Servants. This would indi-
cate that Joseph's appointment was made,
not by the arbitrary agepointment of the
king, but after coosultation with his
cabinet. Can we find such a one. There
was something in Joseph's appearance and
word e which showed that he was born to
rule. In whom the Spirit of God is ? The
king of Egypt had a inuch lower and dim-
mer conception of this expression than an
intelligent Christian would have ; yet he
had some conception of a man endowed
with divine influences. (I) True godliness
will show itself in its posssessor.
39. Said unto Joseph. e This was after
his interpretation of the king's dream and
his counsel to provide for"the coming fam-
ine. God hath showed thee. In thoseearly
days the lines between the worship of God
and of idols were not clearly drawn. An
intelligent Egyptian would have almost as
clear a view of God and the divine power
as an Israelite. A few centuHes later idol-
atry became more gross. (2) Every soul
can find God that is willing to lciokfor him.
(3) And God will reveal his secret to those
who, like Joseph, live in fellowship with
him. None so discreet and wise. He sa.ve
in Joseph a practical sagacity and aptness
for the ;time which fitted him to rule over
his people. ,
• 40. Thou shalt be over 04 novae. That
is, next in the palace to the king himself.
Such a sudden rise to power is not strange
in the East, where men are elevated by the
willof one man rather bhan by the votes of
the multitude. Only in the throne. Joseph
became great vizier, or prime min-
ister, but Pharaoh retained supreme power.
41, 42. I ha:ve set thee. One day every
faithful soul shall be set on a throne higher
than Joseph's by a King mightier than
Pharaoh. Took off his ring. The ring
probably contained the royal seal, and was
used to sign documents and laws,as a signa-
ture is with us. Put it upon Joseph's
hand. This placed Joseph in poseession of
the royal authority, and was equivalent to
a modern "power of attorney." A gold
chain. "He who in the mornieg was
dragging his fetters of iron, before night
was adorned with a chain of gold." -M.
Henry.
43. The second chariot. 1.he chariot
following in state processions immediately
after the one reserved for the king himself.
Egyptian chariots were made of wood and
carried two persons, the rider and the
driver. They cried. The heralds, or
messengers, in advance of the procession.
Bow the knee. In the originel, abreeh, a
word found nowhere else in Scripture. The
margin of the Revised Version says it is

sound to the Hebrew word meaning to
kneel.' " Other authorities translate it
"rejoice."4a
4.lmPharaoh. Meaning, "I have
the p,ower as king to appoint thee to
authority." Hand or foot. A proverbial
"form of expression, meaning that the mele
of Joseph was to extend over all classes
and orders of people. But back of Phar-
aoh, Joseph always recognized his eleva.
tion as cell -fling from God. See verses 51,
52; chap. 45. 8, 9. (4) Man may help us,
but all our blessings are God's gift.'
45. Joseph's mune._ In the East it has

to people who were advanced to special
honor, especially when tho original name
was a foreign one. As an Egyptian prince

this name is ".bread of life" (Crosby), or
"eusteiner of life (Keil), the eppropriate-
nese of WIWI to Joseph is manifest. Pobi-

Joseph's former master. Priest of On. On
