From 1809 to 1893.—"And Round About the Throne Were Four and Twenty Seats gland 'Upon the Sesta I Saw Four and Twenty Elders." BROOKLYN, April 23. -Rev. Dr. Talmage to-dayreached his 24th anniversary ser- mon. Subject: "A Brooklyn Pastorate." The occasion was an unusually interesting one and the great audience was visibly im- pressed during the services. Over the pul- pit in flowers v}'ere the figures, "1869" and "1893." The text was, Rev. 4-4. "And round about the throne were four and twenty seats, and upon the seats I saw four and twentyelders." This text I coose chiefly for the numer- als it mentions, namely four and twenty. That was the number 'of elders seated around the throne of God. But that is the number of years seated around my Brook- lyn ministry, and every.pulpit is a throne of blessing or blasting, a ; throne of good or evil. And to -day in this my 24th anni: versary sermon, 24 years come and sit around me and they speak out in a reminisence of gladness and tears. Tweuty- four years ago I arrived in this city to shepherd such a flock as might come, and that day I carried in on my arms the in- fant son who in two weeks from to -day I will help ordain to the gospel ministry, hoping that he will be preaching long after my poor work is done. We have received into ,our membership thousands of souls, but they, I think, are only a smallportiori of the multitudes who, coming from all parts of the earth) have in our house of God been blest and saved. Although we have as a church raised a million and one hundred thousand dollars for religious purposes, yet we are in the strange position of not knowing whether in two or three months we shall have env church at all, and With audiences of thousands of people crowded into this room and the adjoining rooms, we are confronted with the question whether I shall go on with my work here or go to some other field. What an awful necessity that we should have been obliged to build three immense churches, two of them, destroyed by fire. A misapprehension is abroad., that the financial exigency of this church is past. Through journalistic and personal friends a - breathing spell has been afforded us, and before us yet are financial obligations which must promptly be met or speedily this house of God will go into worldly uses, and become a theatre or a concert hall. The $12,000 raised cannot cancel a floating debt of $140,000. Through the kindness of those to whom we are indebt- ed, 860,000 would set us forever free. I am glad to say that the case is not hope- less. We are daily in receipt of touching evidences of practical sympathy from all classes of the community and from all sections of the country, and it was but yes- terday that by my own hand I sent, for contributions gratefully received, nearly fifty acknowledgments, east, west, north and south. Our trust is in the Lord who divided the Red Sea and "made the mountains skip like lambs." With this paragraph I dis- t miss the financial subject, and return to the spiritual., This morning the grandness of God's kindness obliterates everything, ens if I wanted to build a groan, I do not know in what forest I would hew the tim- ber, or from what quarry I would dig the foundation -stone, or who would construct for me an organ with a tremolo for =the only stop ; and so this morning I occupy any time in building one great massive, high, deep, broad, heaven -piercing hallelu- jah. In the review of the last twenty-four years I think it may be useful to consider, some of the characteristic of a Brooklyn pastorate, In the first place, 1 remark that a Brooklyn pastorate is always a difficult pastorate. No city under the sun has a grander array of pulpit talent than Brook- yn. The Methodists, the Baptists, the Congregationalists, the Episcopalians, all the denominations send their brightest lights here. He who stands in any pulpit in Brooklyn, preaching, may know that he stands within fifteen minutes' walk of ser- mons which a Saurin, and a Bourdaloue, sad r► John M. Mason, and a George Whitfield would not be ashamed of. No city under the sun where a poor sermon is such a drug on the market., For forty years Brooklyn has been sur- charged with homiletics, an electrioity of eloquence that struck every time it flashed from the old pulpits which quaked with the powers of a Bethune, and a Cox, and a Spencer, and a Spear, and a Vinton, and a Farley, and a Beecher, not mentioning the names of the magnificent men now manning the Brooklyn pulpits. So during all the time there has been something to appeal to every man's taste, and to gratify every man's preference. Now, let me say to all ministers of the Gospel who are ambitious for a Brooklyn pulpit, that it ('.always a difficult pastor- ate. If a manshall come and stand before any audience in almost any church in Brook- lyn, he will find before him men who have heard the mightiest themes discussed in the mightiest way. You will have before you, if you fail in an argument, fifty logicians in a fidget. If you make a slip in the use of a commercial figure of speech, there will be five hundred merchants who will notice it. It you throw out an anchor or furl a sail in the wrong way, there will be ship captains right off who will wonder if you are as ig- norant of theology as you are of navigation. So it will be a place of hard study. If you are going to maintain yourself, you will find a Brooklyn pastorate a difficult pastorate. I remark still further, a Brooklyn pastor- ate is always aconspicuous pastorate. The printing press of the country has no greater force than that on the sea coast., Every pulpit word, good or bad, wise or ignorant, kind or mean, is watched. The reportoris corps of these cities is an organized army. .Many of them have collegiate education and large culture, and they are able to weigh oration, or address, or sermon. If you say a silly thing you will never hear the end of it, and if you say a wise thing it will go into perpetual multiplication. There is no need of decrying that fact. Men whoseinfluence had been built by the printing•press spend the rest of their lives in denouncing newspapers. The newspaper is the pulpit on the wing. More preaching done on Monday than on Sunday. The omnivorous, all -eyed printing press is ever vigilant. Besides that, a Brooklyn pastorate is al- ways conspicuous in the fc at that every- body comes here. Brooklyn is New York in its better mood! Strangers have not teen New York until they have seen 13r.,r,ic- lyn. The Fad. River is the t ha >n in our merci a is drop their ear, : nd tl.eir � t x e; ies an l their busint 8, t I , ubks, .. • d by rase lime they havegret t ,t t eir ami i a the: home c rcle, they hay: long: tt a all e --out Wall street and Brca lwoy and the :=.mhles. If they commit f>usinass sins in ' York during the day, they come over !;•i ,yn to rept n of thein! e-cedy comes here. Stand at the bridge entrance or at the ferry gates on Sabbath morning at 10 o'clock, or Sabbath evening at 7 o'clock, and you see north, south, east, west—Europe, Aria, Africa, New Zealand, Australia --coming to Brook- lyn to [pend the Sabbath, or part of it in the persons of their representatives. Some of them fresh from the sea. They have just landed, and they want to seek the house of God nublicle to thank the Lord for their delrvorence from cyclone and fog -banks off Newfoundland. Every song sung, every prayer offered, every sermon preached in New York and Brooklyn, and all along the sea•eoast, in some shape goes all round the world. A Brooklyn pastorate is at the greatest altitude of conspicuity. Again I remark, that a Brooklyn pastor- ate is characterized by brevity. I bethink myself of but three ministers of the Gospel now preuching here, who were preaching when I came to Brooklyn. Most of the pulpits around me have changed seven or eight times since my arrival. Sometimes the pastorate has been brief for one reason, and soinetimes for another reason. Sometimes the ministers of the Gospel have been too good for this world, and heaven has transplanted them. Some- times they changed places by the decree of -their denomination. Sometimes they came with great bare of trumpets, proposing to carry everything before thein, and got ex- tinguished before they were ditstinguished! Some got preached out in two or three Sears, and told the people all they knew! ome with holy speed did in a short time work which it takes a great many years to do. Whether` for good or bad reasons, a Brooklyn `pastorate is characterized by brevity ; not much of the old plan by which a minister of the Gospel baptized an infant, then received him into the church, after he had become an adult married him, baptized his children, married them, and lived on long enough to bury almost everybody but , himself. Glorious old pastorates theyy were. Some of us remember them—Dr. Spring, Peter Labaugh, Doitninie Zabriskie, Menial Waldo, Abram Halsey. When the 'snow melted from their foreheads it revealed the flowers of an unfading coronal. Pastorates of thirty, forty, fifty, fifty-five years' continuance. Some of them had to be helped into the pulpit or into the carriage, they were so old and decrepit ; but wham the Lord's chariots halted one day in frontof the old parsonage, they stepped in vigorous as an athlete, and as we saw the wheels of fire whirling through the gates of the sunset we all cried out, "My father, my father ! the chariots of Israel and the horse- men thereof." I remark again: "A Brooklyn pastorage is characterized by its happiness. No city under the sun where people take such good care of their ministers, In pro- portion outside may curse, world sate portion as the w r y congregation stands close up by the man they believe in. Brooklyn society has for its foundation two elements—the Puritanic which always means a quiet Sabbath ; and the Hollandish, which means a worshipful people. On the top of this an admixture of all nationalities—the brawny Scot, thea solid English, the vivacious Irish, the polite French, the philosophic German; and, in all this intermingling of population, the uni- versal dominant theory that a man can do •as he pleases, provided he doesn't disturb anybody else. A delightful climate. While it is hard on weak throats, for the most of us it is bracing. Not an atmosphere made up of the discharged gases of chemical factories, or the miasma of swamps, but coining panting right off of three thousand miles of Atlantic Ocean before anybody else has had a chance to breathe it ! All through the city a society of kind, genial, generous, sympathetic people. How they fly to yon when you are in trouble. How they , watch over you when you are sick. How tender they are with you when you have buried your dead. Brooklyn is a good place to live in, 'a good place to die in, a good place to be buried in, a good place from which to rise in -the beautiful resur- rection. In such a city I have been permitted to have twenty-four years of pastorate. During these years how many heartbreaks, how many losses, how many bereavements? Hardly a family of the church that has not been struck with some sorrow. God has sustained you in the past, and He will sus- tain you in the future. I exor•ht you to be of good cheer, 0 thou of the broken heart, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." I wish over every door of this church we might have written the word "sympathy." Sympath y for all the young. We must crowd thein in here by thou- sands, and propose a radiant Gospel that they will take on the spot. We must make this place so attractive for the young that a young man will come here on Sabbath morning, put down his hat, brush his hair back from his fore- head, unbutton his overcoat, and look around wondering if he has not by mistake got into heaven. He will see in the faces of the old people, not the gloom which some people take for religion, but the sun- shine of celestial peace, and he will say, "Why, I wonder if that isn't the same peace that shone out of the face of my father and mother when they lay dying ? And then there will come a dampness in his eyes which he can hardly see, and he will close his eyes to imprison the emotion; but the hot tear will break through the fringes of eveluhe■ and drop upon the coat - sleeves. Ifs will put his head on the back of the pew in front and sob, "Lord God of the old people, help me 1" We ought to lay P. plot here for the religious capture of all the young people in Brooklyn. Yes, sympathy for the old. They have their aches and pains and distresses. They cannot hear or walk or see as well as they used to. We must be reverential in their presence. On dark days we must help them through the aisle, and help them find the place in the hymn -book. Some Sab- bath morning we shall miss there from their place, and we shall say, "Where is Father So -and -So to -day?" and the answer will be, "What, haven't you heard? The King's wagons have taken Jacob l up -to the palace where his Joseph is yet alive. Sympathy for business men. Twenty- four years of commercial life in New York and Brooklyn are enough to tear one's nerves to pieces. We want to make our Sabbath service here a rescue for all these martyrs of traffic, a forecastle of that land where they have no rents to pay and there are no business rivalries and where riches, instead taking winds to fly away, brood over other riches. Sympathy for the fallen, remembering that they ought to be pitied as much as a man run over with a rail train. The fact ie that in the temptations and misfortunes of life they get run over. You and I.in the same circumstances would have done as badly, we should have done worse perhaps. If you and 1 had the same evil surround- ings and the same evil parentage that they had and the same native-born proclivitie a to evil that they had, you :and I should have been in the penitentiary,or outcasts of society. "No," says some self-righteous man, "I couldn't have been over -thrown in that way." You old hypocrite, you would have been the first to fall, We wast in this church to have sym- pathy for the worst man, remembering he is a brother; sympathy for the worst woman, remembering she is a sister. If that is not the Gospel I do not know what the Gospel is. Ahi yes; sympathy for all troubled; for the orphans in their exposure; for widowhood with its weak arm fighting for bread: for the household which erst resounded with merry voices and pattering feet. now awfully still—broad-winged sym- pathy like the feathers of the Almighty— warm-blooded sympathy, everlasting sym- pathy—sympathy which showsitself in the grasp of the (band, in the glittering tear of -the eye, in the consoling word of the mouth—sympathy of blankets for the cold, of bread for the hungry, of medicine for the sick, of rescue for the lost. Let it thrill in every sermon. Let ib tremble in every song. Let it gleam in every tear and in every light. Sympathy 1 Men and women are sighing for sympathy, groaning for sympathy, dying for sgmvathv. eumotrn errant° uncleanliness anti crime and perdition for lack of sympathy. May God give it to us ! Fill all this pulpit with it, from step to step. Let the sweep of these galleries suggest its encircling arms. Fill all the house with it, front door to door, and from floor to ceiling, until there is no more room for it, and it shall overflow into the street, and passers-by on foot shall feel the throb of its Magnificent benedic- tion. Let that be our new departure as a church. Let that be my new departure as a pastor. Sympathy 1 Gratitude to God demands that this morning I mention the fact that during all these twenty-four years I have missed but one service through sickness. When I entered the ministry I was so delicate I did hot think I would preach three months; but preaching has agreed with rue, and I think the healthiest thing in all the earth is the religion of Jesus Christ. Bless the Lord, 0, my soul 1 What ingrates we are in regard to our. health. I must, in gratitude to God, also men- tion the multitudes to whom I have been permitted to preach. It is simply miracu- lous, the attendance morning by morning, night by night, and year by year, and long after it has got to be an old story. I know some people are dainty and exclusive in their tastes. As for myself, I like a big crowd. I would like to see an audience large enough to scare me ! If this Gospel is good, the more that get it the better. Many have received the Gospel here, but others have rejected it. Now, I -tell you what I am going to do with some of my deareat friends who bare hitherto, rejected the Gospel. You are not afraid of me, and I am not afraid of you, and some day, 0 brother, I will clasp your hands together, and I will turn your face the other way, and I will take bold of your shoulders, and while you are helpless in my grasp I will give you one headlong push into the king- dom of God. Christ says we must compel yon to come in; I will compel you to come in. Can I consent to anything cite with these .men, who are as dear to me as my own soul? I will compel you to come in. Profiting by the mistakes of the past, I must do better work for you and better work for God, lest I might, through some sudden illness or csanalty, be snatobsd away before I have the opportunity of doing so. 1 take this occasion to declare my love for you as a people. It is dif- ferent work if a pastor is placed in & church already built up, and he is surrounded by established circumstances. There are not ten people in this church that have not been brought into the church through my ministry. You are my family. I feel as mach at home here as Ido in my residence on Oxford street. You are my family—my father, my mother, my sister, my son, my daughter. You are my joy and crown, the subject of my prayers. Your present and everlasting welfare is the object of my ambition. I have no worldily ambition. I 'hed once. I have not now. I know the wdrld about as well as any one knows it. I have heard the handclapping of its applause, and 1 have heard the hiss of its opposlticn, and I de- clare to you that the former is not especially to be sought for, nor is it ' the latter to be feared. The world has given me about all the comfort and prosperity it can give a man, and I have no woldrly ambition.. 1 have an all -consuming ambition to make fullroof of my ministry, to get to heaven myself, and to take great crowd with me. Upon your table and cradle, and armchair, and pillow, and lounge, and nursery, and drawing -room, and kitchen, may the blessing of the Almighty God dome down ! Colors of the Ocean• ♦ number of interesting charts, illustrat- ing the colors of the ocean, have been pre- sented to the Paris Museum by Prof Pon- chot, He has proved. after extended inves- tigations, that the differences in the color of various parts of the ocean are due to dif- ferences in the water itself, and not to the presence of vegetation and insects, and the new charts in question confirm this view. It seems that he and his associate, M. de Carfort, watched together the Atlantis from Spitzbergen to Scotland and the Norwegian coast, and with 'inch thorough- ness as to admit of nothiug escaping their attention. Their observations show that the transition from one color to another is often very rapid; that near Spitzbergen the water is blue, then it changes to green as soon as the Norwegian floods are entered.

In the most sublime surroundings the inhabitants will generally appear dull and sordid, and with no real appreciation of their natural ad- vantages. In going abouts`through America one notices in the meanest shanty a blos- soming flower in the window. It may be planted in a tomato can, but it is a flower. - Facto and Figures.
