and New York printing press, If you
never report anything else that say,

NEW DEPARTURE.
As church we from this day make
new departure. We will preach more
instructive sermons. We will offer more
faithful prayers. We will do better
work in all departments. We will in
the autumn resume our lay college.
We will fill all the rooms of this lnagnif-
cent pile with work for God and suffer
ing humanity. Moro prayers have been
offered for this church, and on both
sides the sea, than for any church that
has ever existed, and all those prayers
will be answered. Clear the track fo1
the Brooklyn Tabernacle! "Sing ye to
the Lord, for he hath triumphed glori.
ously; the horse and his rider hath he
thrown into the sea-"
But do you not now really think that
the Miriam of my text rejoiced too sooni
Do You not think she ought to have
waited till the Israelitish host got clear
over to Canaan before she struck hel
knuckles against the timbrel or tam.
BOURNE? Miriami You do we'll to have
the tambourinel ready, but wait little
before you play 1T You are not YET
through the, Journey from Egypt to the
Promised Land. You will yet have to
drink out Of the bitter water Of Marah
and many Of your army will eat so heart
lily of the fallen quails that they will die
of collie, and you will at the foot of Sinai
be scared with the thunder, and there
will be fiery serpents In the way and
many battles to fight, and last Of all the
muddy Jordan to cross. Miriami have
no objections 10 the tambourine, but dc
not jingle It's bells or thumpits frightened
parchment until you are all through.
All, my friends. Miriam was right. II
we never shouted victory till we got
clear through the struggles Of this life,
we would never shout at all. Copy the
habit of Miriam and Moses. The mo.
ment you get victory celebrate 1t. The
time and place to hold a Jubilee for the
safe crossing of the Red sea is ON Its
beach and before you leave it. 1t Is aw-
full, the delayed hosannahs. the belated
halleluiahs. the postponed doxologies,
the trans of Thanksgiving coming in sc
long after they are duet
1t is said, do not rejoice over revival
too soon, for the new members might moi
hold out. Do not thank God for the
money you made today, for tomorrow
you might lose it all and more. Do not
be too grateful for your good health to-
day, for tomorrow You may get the
grip. Do not be too glad about your
conversion. for you might fall from grace.
Do not rejoice too soon over q ohurch's
deliverance. because there might be dis
asters yet 10 come. Oh. let us have nc
more adjourned gratitudei
The time to thank God for rescue
from temptation is the moment after you
have broken the wine flask. The time
10 thank God for your salvation Is the
moment after the first flash Of pardon.
