Sacramcntal and Baptismal Day Sermon
! OF DIR. Talmage-The Rainbow Seen
Around the Throne In the Apocalypse.
No Sorrow or Signing There.
BROOKLYN, June S.-This is sacra-
mental and baptismal day with the
Tabernacle congregation, an occasion
of especial impressiveness. The chill
dren were baptized before the sermon
and the sacrament administered after
sermon. The subject of DR. Talmage's
discourse was: "All Troubles Past"
and the text Rev. ", s: There was q
rainbow round about the throne" Fol
lowing is the sermon
As, after night of fearful tempest
at sea. one ship, more stanch than an
other, rides on unchanged among the
fragments of spars and hunks that float
about, so old Noah's ark, at the close
of the de!uge, floats on over the wreck
of dead world Looking out of the
window of the ark, you see the
planks of houses, and the sheaves of
wheat, and the carcasses of cattle,
and the corpses of men. No tower
is left to toll the burial; no mourn
ers to form in line of procession; no
ground in which to bury the dead.
Sinking u line twenty-seven feet long,
you just touch the tops of the noun
t;ins. Ghastliness and horror The
ark, instead of walking the sea, like n
modern ship, IN majesty and beauty,
losses helplessly; no helm to guide; no
sail to set; no shore to steer for. Why
plotract the agony of the good people
in such craft when they might in one
dash of the wave have been put out of
their misery}
But III Wonder spot in the horizon we
see colors gathering in the sky; at just
the opposite point in the horizon other
colors are gathering | find that they
are the two butuesses of an arched
bridge The yellow, the red, the or
ange, tie blue, the indigo, the violet
are mingled, and by invisible hands the
whole structure is hung into the sky
and The ark has triumphal arch to
sail under. An Angel of Light swings
his hand across the sky, and in the
seven pris'natic colors he paints with
pencil Of sunbeam the everlasting COW
enanJ between God and every living
creature God lifted up that great
arched bridge and SCI it over his own
head in the heaven. John saw it, for
he says: There was q rainbow round
