BROOKLYN, Nov. :9.--lSpeoial.l-
There WAS reception ~ the Brooklyn
Tabernacle this morning, and the Rev.
I. De Wit Talmage, It's pastor, gave
therighs hsnd of fellowship to about
50 new members. The opening hymn
was that besinniog
"Niust Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world 60 free?"
Dr. Tslmage's sermon on "Medicine
for All His" was founded on the text:
"Aud his disciples came, and took up
the body, aud buried it, and went and
told Jssas"-Matthew, xiv, IL. Fo,-
lowing is the ssrmon In fall;
An outrageous assassination had last
taken placs. To appaasa a ,avengeiui
woman, Herod had ordered the death
OF that n0ble, sell-sacrisciug, Christian
man, John the Baptist. Tho disciples
wero In great trouble. There was no
court towhich they cauld make ap-
peal. But grief must have ustoran0e,
and II tnero be no sympathetic oar TO
hear It, then II must be cried aloud to
| the winds and the woods and the
waters, But there was an ear ready to
listen. What beauty OF pashos and
what wonderful picture In the word ,
of nay text: They "wont and told Je-
spsN lie was ready 10 listen and lie
| was ready TO assuage their grief. We
SEQ Cbrist standing, His own faco
shgdoYed with His own sorrow, sur
r0uGaod by group of disciples In yio-
| Isn't gesticulation, with many tears
and with great oatcry OF WOO.

not care what lhsy are--I am going e

the disciples, IS just as successful

Now in the hrst place, i commend the
behavior OF the disciples in the text tc
all those who teel themselves sinfu
and unpardoned. There comes tim
