Brooklyn. October l?.-Dr. TAmase
began very interesting series Of political
sermons to-day. The Brooklyn Tabernacle
was crowded Indeed If the church were
twice as large now II would no more than
accommodate the people that come. The
hymn sung to-day was,
Ny country, It's OF thee,
Sweet land Of llhrty.
The subject Of the sermon was. Things
that threaten the destruction Of American
institutions" The text was Revelations
xviii 10 to l3: "Alas! alas! that great city
Babylon; that mighty city! For in one
hour is thy judgment come. And the mer-
chants Of the earth shall weep and mourn
over her; for no mar buyeth their merchan.
disc any more. The merchandise Of gold
and silver and precious stones. aud Of pearls
and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and
scarlet, and all thyme wood, and all man.

But one night while the honest people
of the city were asleep, but the saloons Of
Saturnalia were in full blaze and at the
kings castle they we're filling the tankards
for the tenth time, and around the state
dining table there reeled and gutfawed and
