organ and galleries, were futtering gaily, in
the breeze, caused by the opening OF the doors
probably, and the embroidered tapestries
that decorated the lower part of the organ
also appeared to be in moVioIi. The comp d
9l presented at that moment III the doomed
church WAS pleasing in the highest degree,
and never to be forgotten.
The writer Of these lines and his two
daughters walked down the street, and three
or four minutes after leaving the Tabernacle
met tie Mayor Of Brooklyn. ''!hele goes
Mayor Sclieren," we whispered, and all three
turned to look at him. We could hardly
believe our own senses when, upon turning,
we saw inby-black smoke curling up to the
sky from a building in our rear, which we
soon discovered was the magnificent church
we had left only a few minutes before.
Rushing back OH a run, setting the example
to hundreds of people who We're going leisure
" homeward, we reached the door we had
come out of. The organ and its fallen pipes
were in a blaze, and it soon became evident
that the whole building would be consumed.
Some Of the officers Of the Tabernacle were
watching he flames, seemingly paralyzed at
the audiences and violence of the fire. We
had joined them hardly twenty minutes when
the roof of the corner tower (Greene and
Clinton) fell in, and in about two minutes
after, the rear wall GOO Il SOY came down with
a dull sounding thud; about half an hour
after, the handsome FACADE on Greene avenue
tottered and fell with a loud crash. 1t was
evidently now all over with the beautiful
structure known as the Brooklyn Tabernacle
No. 3. and a congregation numbering upward
of four thousand full members was again
without a house Of worship And all this
devastation done in a single hour. Yea, God
works in a mysterious way His wonders TO
perform.
Amidst the anguish end distress that one
feels ut the loss sustsinod by SO great a
calamity there is nevertheless a sweet CON
solation-not a single life was lost OF person
injured. While, therefore, We mourn 80
great a disaster as the Gloss Of our church, cost
ing untold pain, worry and modification
and in money $3.50, 000-we are gre; full that
so large a multitude of people should have
been permitted to leave the doomed church
before a panic occurred, which would have
been inevitable had the fire broken out a few
minutes earlier. BIS

how this can be done by saving one pennyat a
time buying a penny stamp and afixing it to a
form supplied by the Post Office, on which
there are spaces for twelve stamps. When all
the PAGES are filled the depositor can take his
bank book and the stamps to the nearest
Post Office, whether it is IA BankOfice or not,
aud deposit the stamps; the book will be
forwarded to the Bank in which his account
is kept and returned to him free Of all
charge. This is accommodation carried about
as far as it IS possible to do, ana if the
people will not use t Savings Bank, it dare
not be said that it is because the Bank is not
rendered convenient. The Postmaster Gen
erals aim is such a co mmendable one IN this
colony, where the great bulk of us all are
disposed to be are.ess, spendthrift, and given
to borrow .ng, that it deserves to be promo
ted by all who have inhnen co enough amongst
the peOple.to turn their thou ghts into the

voices. and the Benediction given by the pas

of the beautiful edifce, taking not more than
six or eight minutes, through the four doors,
to reach tile sidewalks OH Greene aid Clinton
avenues. When nearing the threshold OF the
west door the writer turned and looked
toward the organ. DR., Talmage had descend
ed from the platform and was giving hand
shakes to a crowd of persons who had
congregated around to bid farewell to their
pastor and friend. The organist, d.. Brown,
was playing the .'Talmaee March,, composed
by himself. In the galleries quite a number
of persons had fingered, bending over to COM
template the scene. About one-half OF the
congregation who thronged the ten or twelve
aisles were still behind ths writer and his
two daughters, moving toward the doors.
Scores of flags Of all nations, covering the
