DIR. TALMAeE's SERMON, SUNDAY, SEPT. 16.


DRooKLYN, September 16.-To-day was
ID sacramental day at the Tabernacle, and
more than four thousand communicate
members we're joined by thousands from
all parts of this country and from other
lands in the sacred commemoration. The
Rev. r. Dewitt Talmage, DID,, preached
from Ezekiel vii, %: "Make chain p He
said:
At school and in college, in announcing
the mechanical powers, we glorified the
lever, the pulley, the inclined plane, the
screw, the axle and the wheel, but my text
calls us to study che philosophy of the chain.
These links of metal, one with another, at
tracted the old Bible authors, and we hear
the chaih rattle and see its coil all the way
through from Genesis to Revelation, flash
ing as an adornment, or restraining as in
captivity, or holding in conjunction as in
case of machinery. To do him honor Pha-
raoh hung chain of gold about the neck
of Joseph, and Belshazzar one about the
neck of Daniel. The high priest had on
his breastplate two chains of gold. Ga the
camels' necks, as the Ishmaelites drove up
to Gideon, jingled chains of gold.
The Bible refers to the Church as having
such glittering adornments, saying: "Thy
neck is comely with chains of gold" On
the other hand, chain means captivity.
