BROOKLYN, March 3.-Dr. Talmage
preached in the Brooklyn Tabernacle this
morning on the subject, "shall America
Be Reserved for Americans Pr Text, Acts
xvii, &c: "And hath made Of one blood all
nations" That is, if for some reason gen.
eral phlebOtOmy were ordered, and stand
ing in row were an American, an En-
glishman, Ststchman, and an Irishman,
a Frenchman, German, Norwegian, an
Icelander, Spaniard, an italian, a Rus
sian and representatives of all other ma
tiOnalities barred their right arm and a Ian
Get were struck into il, the blood let out
would have the same characteristics, for
il would be red, complex, fibriue, globu-
line,' chlorine and containing sulphurio
acid, potassium, phosphate of mag
nesia aud 80 on, and Harvey and Sir
Ashley Cooper and Richardson and
Zimmerman and BroWn-Sequard and
all the scientific doctors, allopathic,
homeopathic aud electric, wOuld agree
with Paul as, standing on Mars Hill, his
pulpit ridge of limestone rock fifty feet
high and among the prOudest and most
exclusive and undemOcratic p Ople of the
earth, he crashed into all their rejudicee
by declaring in the words of my text that
God had made of one blood all nations"
The countenance of the five races of the
human family may be different as a result
of climate or education or habits, and the
Malay will have the projecting upper jaw,
aru the Caucasian the oval face and email
mouth, and the Ethiopian the retreating
forehead and large lip, and the Monaghan
the tlat face of olive hue and the Ameri-
can Indian the copper colored complexion,
but the blood is the same and indicates
that they all had one origin and that
Adam and Eve were their ancestor and an
cestress
sTUPUNDOUs IDEA OF THE TEXT.
I think God built this American CONT
nent and organized this United States re.
public 70 demonstrate the stupendoCs idea
of the text. A man in Persia will always
remain Persian man in Sitzerlsnd
will always remain a ISIS, man l.
Austria will always remain an Austrian,
bat all foreign nstionalities coming to
America were intended to be Americans.
| This land is the chemical laboratory where
| foreign blOOds are to be inextricably mixed
up and race prejudices and race antipathies
are TO perish, and this sermon is an SIX by
which 1 hope to help kill them. 1t is not
hard for me 10 preach such sermon, be-
cause, although my ancestors came to this
country about two hundred and fifty
years ago, some of them came FROM
Wales snd some from Scotland and some
from Holland and come from 9th lands,
and am "a mixture OF so many nationali-
ties that I feel at home with people from
under every sky and have right to call
them blood relations. There are madcaps
and patriotic luns,ics in this country who
are ever and anon crying out America for
Americans " Down with the Germans
Down with the Irish Dawn with the
Jews Down with the Chinese! are IN
some directions the popular cries, all OF
which yociferations / would drown out by
the full organ of my text, while l pull cut
the stops and ut my foot q the pedal
that will open the lOudest pipes, and run
nv fingers over all the four banks Of ivory
keys. playing the chant, God hath made
of ore blood all nations"
THUNDERBoLTs OF INDIGNATION.
OF course we DO we'll not to allow for
eisn nations TO make this country con-
yiet colony. Wewould have wall built
as high az heaven and as deep as hell
against foreign thieves, pickpOckets and
onsrchists We would not let them wipe
III ir feet on the map of the outside door
of Castle Garden. If England or RUSSIA
mr. Germsny or France send here their
desperadoes to get clear OF them, we
would have these desperadoes sent back
in chains to the places where they came
from. We will not have America become
the dumping place for foreign vsgabond-
ism. Bat YOU build up wall at the
Narrows before New York harbor, or at
the Golden Gate before San Francisco, and
forbid the coming Of the industrious and
bark working and honest populations OF
other lands who want to breathe the air
of our free institutions and get OppOrtu-
nitv for better livelihood, and it is only a
onestion of time when God will tumble
that wall flat on our own heads with the
rcd hot thunderbolts of his Omnipotent IN
dignatlon.
INTERMARRIAGE DEPRESSING.
II Is through nightly addition of foreign
nonulation of our native population that
I think God is going to fill this land with
a race of people % per cent superior to
ANYTHING the world has ever seen. Inter
marriage of families and intermarriaee OF
nations is depressing ard Gripping. Mar,
lace ontsids of ones own nationality and
with another style Of nationality IS
mighty gain. What makes the Scolch,
Irish second to no pedigree for Drain ano
Stamina of character, so that blood goes
right mn TO Supreme Court bench and tc
the front rank in jurisprudence and mer-
obondise and art? Because nothing
under heaven can be more IN
lie than a Scotchman and an
Irishman and the descendants OF these two
Contained nationalities, unless rum filings
them 90 right to the tip topin everything
AN nationalties coming to tn Land th'
opnosites will all the while be sfnanced
and French and German Will unite ano
that will stop all the quarrel 6etWeel
them. and one child they will call Al'act
snd opothar Lorraine. And hot bloodeo
Sn9n ard will unite with cool bloodec
Polapder and romantic Italian with mat
tsr Of fact Norwegian, and q hundred ano
tiftv wears from now the race occupying
this land will be in stature, in purity o
complexion, in liquidity of eye, IN grace
fitness of noise, in dome like brow, IL
taste. in intelligence and in morals so fal
ahead Of anything now known on eithel
s;de Of the seas that this lost quarter of TIT
Nineteenth century will seem to them like
the Dark Ages. Oh, then how they vii
leeislate and pray and preach and o'rgs'r
and govern!
RACE PREJUDICE.
