THE TABERNACLE SERMON
Special TO the Gazette.
BHooRLNN, y. v, Oct. 25.--Proi. Hen
~ Eyre Browne opened the services In
the Brooklyn tabernacle this morning
with the organ solo, First Sonata in D
Minor, by Ritter. DR.. Talmage cxpound.
ed the chapter in Leyiticus about ancient
sacrifices. The hymn sung was;
salvation o. the joyful sound
tbs pleasure To our ears;
4 sovereign balm for every wound,
cordial foI our fears.
The subject of the sermon was
Blood and the text was from Hebrew,
iX.. %: "Without shedding OF blood is
no remission" The preacher said
John G.. Whittier, the last of the great
school of American poets that made the
last quarter of century brilliant, asked
~, in the White mountains one morning
. eob,ssayers, in which | had given out
SY,niab, usSiosouS hymn about 'the foun-
beilse, %asIc N, al application OF the
blood OF Cm. d { soul?" My mega
tive reply then ~, negative reply now.
The Bible statement agrees with all ply
sicians and all Psychologists aud all
scientists i'm saying that the blood is the
lie, and in the Christian religion it means
simply that Christ's life was given for our
life. Hence, all this talk of mon who say
the Bible story of blood is disgusting,
and that they don't want what they call a
"slaughtef-houSe religion only shows
! their incapacity or unwillingness 70 look
through the figure of speech to-
ward the thing signilled. The blood that
on the darkest Friday the world ever saw
uoZed or triCkled or poured from the
throw and the side and the hands aud the
feet of the illustifOus sufferer back OF Jc-
lrusalem In few hours coaguated and
dried up and forever disappeared; and If
man had depended on the application OF
the literal blood of Christ, there would
not have been q soul saved
1 FOR TUE LAST ElGurEEN CENTURIES
/ In order to understand this red word of
my text, we only have to exercise as
much common sense in religion as we do
| in everything else. Paug for pang, hun
ger for hunger, fatigue for fatigue, tear
for tear, blood for blood, life for life, we
/ See every day Illustrate. The act OF SUBJ
stitution is no novelty, although hear
men talk as though the idea of Christ's
suffering substituted for our suffering
were something abnormal, something dis
! tressingly odd, something Wildly cccen-
/ trio, solitary episode in theWorld'S his

city and before shutdown point you to i've

among the places of business or toll. Il
! will be no difficult thing for you to lind
men who by their looks show you that
they are oyerworked, They are prema-
! turely old. They are fastening rapidly
toward their decease. They have gone
through crises in their business that shat
tered their nervous system and pulled on
tie brain. They have shortneSs OF
breath and pain in the back OF the head
and ut tnight an insomnia that alarms
them Why are they drudging ut bust
ness early and late?
FOR rUN?
No; It would be difficult TO extract any
amusement out OF that exhaustion
Because they are ayaricious?
In many eases no. Because their owl
personal expenses are lavish! Mo- n few
hundred dollars would meet all theil
wants. The simple fact Is the man is en-
during all that fatigue and evaporation
and wear and tear 10 keep his home pros
porous. There is an invisible line reach
j ing from that store, from that bank, from
that shop from that scaffolding to quie
scene few blocks, a few miles away, anC
there is the secret OF that business en-
durance. He is simply the champion o
a homestead for which he wins bread anC
wardrobe aud education and prosperity
and in such battle ten thousand men fall
OF ten business men whom bury min,
die of overwork for others. Some suddeI
disease finds them with no power of re
sistance and they are gone. Lille for life

SUBSTITUTION.
At O'Clock tomorrow morning, th,
hour when slumbcr is most uninterrupted
and most profound, walk among th
dwelling houses of the city. Here an,
there you will find dim light because /
is the household custom 10 keep sub
ducd light burning; but most of tn
houses from base to top are as dark a
though minhabitcd. mcrciful God ha
sent forth the archangel of sleep, and h.
puts his wings over the city, But yondc
is Il clear light burning and outside OF
the window easement a glass or pitchc
containing food for the sick child, tn
food set in the fresh air. This Is tn
sixth night that mother has set up Wit
that sufferer. She has to the last poln
ohcyed the PHYSICIANS prescription, no
drop too much or drop too little or
moment too soon or too late. She Is yer
anxious for she has buried three chlldrei
with tho same disease, and she prays an
weeps, each prayer and sob ending wit
KISS or THE PALE CHEEK.
BY dint OF Kindness she gets the littl
one through the Ordeal. After it is al
over the mother Is taken down. Brain 0
nervous fever sets in, and one day sh
leaves the conyalescent child with
mothers blessings, and goes up TO joi
the three in the Kingdom Of heaven. Lif
for life. Substitution. The fact is tina
there are an uncountcd number OF moth
crs who, after they have navigated
large family OF children through all III
diseases OF infancy and got them fairl
started up the towering slope of boy
hood and girlhood, have only strength
