The dedication OF the new organ In
the Brooklvn Tabernacle last Sunday
wns made the occnsion of an appro-
priate sermon bv DIR. Talmape. from the
tart Genesis iy 81: "His brothers
name was Jubal. he was the father of
all such as handle the harp and organ"
THE preacher said:
Lamech had two boys, the one
herdsrnan. and the other a musician.
yubal, the younger son, was the first
organ builder He started the first
sound that rolled from the wondrous
instrument which has had SO much to
az with the vorship Of the ages. But
what inproyernenthas been made under
the hands OF organ builders such as
Bernhard Sebastian Bach. and George
Horarth and Joseph Booth and Thomas
Robiohn. clear ON down to George and
Edward Jardiue Of our own day. do
NOT wonder that when the first full
organ that we read Of as piyen in 757
bt an emperor of the East to a king of
France sounded forth its full grandeur
4 woman fell into adelirium from which
her reason was never restored. The
majesty of n great organ skillfully
played ia almost too much for human
endurance. but how much the instru-
ment has done in the reinforcement of
divine service Il will take ali time and
all eternity to celebrate. Last April
when we dedicated this church TO the
services Of ALMIGHTY God our ORGAN was
not more than half done. II has now
come so near completion that this morn
