Ign to spend the Sabbath, or part of It, in
the persons of their representatives. Some
of them fresh from the sea. They have just
landed, and they want to seek the house of
Iod publicly to thank the Lord for their
dcliverance from cyclone and fog banks OFF
Newfoundland. Every song sung, every
prayer offered every sermon preached in
New York and brooklyn, and all along
this sea coast, in some shape goes all round
the world. A Brooklyn pastorate is at the
greatest altitude of conspicuity.
Again remark that Brooklyn pastor
nte is characterized by brevity. l bethink
myself Of Int three ministers of the gospel
now preaching here who were preaching
when came to Brooklyn. Most of the
pulpts around me have changed seven or
eight times since my arrival.
Sometimes the pastOrate has been brief
for one reason and sometimes for another
reason. Sometimes the ministers of the
gospel have been too good for this world,
md Heaven has trauSplanted them. Some
times they changed places by the decree of
their denomination Sometimes they came
with great blarc of trumpets, proposing to
curry everything ItibIt lHtlil. anu EOU pN-

some of us remember them-Dr. Spring,
Peter Lahaugh, Dominic Xabriskie, Daniel
Waldo, Abum Iialsey. When the snow
melted from their forehcads, it revealed the
flowers Of an uutading corOnal. Pastorates
of 80 A., 30, 81 years continuance
Some of them had to be helped into the
pulpit or into the carriage, they were so old
and decrepil but when the Lords chariots
halted one day in front Of the old parson-
age they stepped in vigorous as an athlete,
and ms we saw the wheels of fire whirling
through the gates of the sunset we all cried
out, My father, my father. the chariOts of
Israel and the Eorscmen thereof"
remark again, a Brooklyn pastorate is
characterized by its happiness.
