opening Sermon in Few tabernacle.
AT the evening service Dr. Talmaee
preached his first sermon in the
new church There was again
congregation which completely filed
the edifce. The title Of lis
discourse was Sermons in Stones,
His text was from Joshua, iv, l6: "What
mean ye by these stones? He told the
story Of the Israelites crossing the tnr
buient floods of the Jordan while the
surglng waters We're miraculousiy held
back, and how they erected monument
# stone to commemorate the wonderful
passage. La the course Of bis remarks
he told the interesting Fory Of the curl

locality than of Mount Washington or
Mont Blanc. On the bluff of this noun

this wall, white stone, with crimson
veins running through it, the white
typc4i OF purity, the crimson suggestive
: OF the blood that pad the price Of Oul
redemption. We place it at the top q
the memorial wall; for above all il thi
church for all time, Ia sermon and s0ls
and prayer, shall b4 the sacrifice D
