Dr Tlmai?cys New Year's sermon is a rintriiur battle cry to uiinistrR and Christians every where; calling upon thorn to join in u conihiued eliarfjo on tlio Intrenehiiicnts of sin and Satan. It mudo a deep im pi-eanion on the vast crowds who heard it in t!ii city this morning, and at The Christian llerald aorvico to-niht in New York. The enthusiasm at the lat ter service wan iucre.med y t- oCoct tve aid renderod by n larpe volunteer choir which has been organized from the audiences, who sting with a volume and fervor seldom equaled. . After the singing of the hymn commending, Oom Hoty Spirit, baavsnly 4o, : With all thy quickening powers. Dr. Tannage preached the following sermon from the text Luke xxiv, 49, Tarry ye In the eity of Jemsalem un til ye be endued with power from on high:" For a few months, in the providence of God, I have two pulpits, one in Brook lyn and the other in New York, and through the kindnosa of the printing press an ever widening opportunity. To all such hearers and readers I eonie with an esiiecial message. The time has arrived for a forward movement such as the church and the world have never seen. That there is a need for such a religious movement is evident from the fact that never since our world was swung out among the planets baa there been such on organized and determined effort to overthrow right eousness and make the Ten Command ments obsolete and t he whole Bible a derision. Meanwhile alcoholism is tak tne down its victims by the hundreds of thousands, and the political parties get down ou their knees, practically saying: "0 thou almighty rum jug! we bow down before thee. (Jive us the of&oes. city, suite and national. Oh, give us the offices and we will worship thee for ever apd ever, Amen." The Christian Sabbath meanwhile, appointed for physical, mental and spiritual rest, Is being secularized and abolished. As if the bad publishing houses of our own country had ex haunted their literary tilth, the French and Russian sewers have been invited to poor their scurrility and moral Blush into the trough where our American swine are now wallowing. Meanwhile there are enough houses of infamy in all our cities, open and unmolested of the law, to Invoke the omnipotent wrath which buried Sodom under a deluge of brimstone. The pandemo niac world. I think, has massed its troops, and they are this moment ply lug their batteries upon family circlet, church circles, social circles, political circles and national circles. Apollyon is in the saddle, and, riding at the head of hit myrmidons, would capture this world for darkness and woe. THK CHRISTIAN SIDE OP THK KIQHT. Thai is one side of the conflict now raging. On the other side we have the most magnificent gospel machinery that the world ever saw or heaven ever in vented. In the first place, there are in this country more than 80,000 ministers of religion, and, take them as a class, more consecrated, holier, more consist ent, more self denving, more faitliful men never lived. I know them by the thousands. I have met them in every city I am told, not by them, but by people outside our profession, people engaged in Christian and reformatory work, that the olergy of America are at the head of all good enterprises, and whoover else fail they may be depend ed on. The truth of this is demonstrat ed by the fact that when a minister of religion does fad. it is so exceptional that the newspapers report it as some thing startling, whilo a hundred men In other callings umy go down without the matter being considered as espe cially worth mentioning. In addition to their equipment in moral character the clergy of tliis country have all that the Bchools can give. All arclnoological, rhetorical, scientific, scholastic, literary attain meut. So inuuh for the Christian lain Istry of all denominations. In the next nlace. on our side; of the conflict we have the eniudent churches of all time, and higher style of membership and more of them, and a host without num ber of splendid men and women who are doing their best to have this world mirined. elevated, cospelized. But we all feel that something is wanting. Enough hearty songs have been sung and enough earnest sermons preached within the lntai months to save all the cities of America : and saving tbe eities you "avi the world, for they over flow all the land either with their re ligion or tlwir infamy. st.MK STAUTUHO FACTS, But look at some of the startling tacit. It; is nourly nineteen hundred years since Jesus Christ came by the way of Bethlehem caravansary to save this world, yet the most of the world has been no more touched by tills most stupendous fiu't of all eternity than If on the first Christinas night tbe beasts of tbe stall, amid the bleating of their own young, had not hsard the bloating of the Lamb that was to be slain. Out of the eighteen hundred million of the human nice, fourteen hundred million are without Hod and without hope in the word, the camel driver of Arabia, Mahomet, with his nine wives, having half as iiifmy ilisciplea as our blessed Christ, ami im nv people are worship ing .chunks of painted wood and earned stone than are worshiping the living and eternal God. Meanwhile, the most of us who are engaged in Christian work I speak for myself as well as others -art toiling up to our full oapadty of body, mind and soul, harnessed np to the last buokle, not able to draw a pound mora than we are drawing. r lift an ounce more than we are liftiug. What is the matter? My text lets out the secret. We all need more of ' the power from on high.' Not muscular J Bower, not lagioal power, not scientific ...powsfi not social power, not financial than all the diamond fields of Holconda, and all the pearls of tim scm. ami all the gold in the mountains. the mightiest intellects never touch of it, and many of the less than i ordinary intellects have bean sur j cliarged wii li it. And every man audi ! woman on earth has a right to !is;ire' to it, aright to pray forit, and, properly persistent, will obtain it. Power from on the level is a good thing such power as I may give you or yon may give me by encouraging words and actions. Powor from on the level when we stand by each other in any Christian uudertakiug. Vower from on the level when other pulpits are in accord with ocm Power from on the level when the religions mid secular pn-ss forward our Christian undertak ings. But power from on the level is not sufficient. Power from on high is what we need to take possession of us. Power straight from God.

Bishop I.atimer had it. Isabella Graham had it. Andrew Fuller had it. The great evangelists. Daniel Raker and Dr. Nettletnn and Truman Osbom and Charles (i. Pinney, had it. In my boyhood 1 saw Truman Osbom rise to preach in file village church at Somer viile, N. J., and before he had given out his text or uttered a word people if the audience sobbed aloud with rehg ious emotion. It was the power from on high. All may have it. Once get it and nothing can stand before you. Satan goes down. Caricature goes down. Infi delity goes dvn. W'orldliness goes down. All opposition goes down. Several times in the history of the church and the world has this power from on high been demonstrated. In the Seventeenth ceutury, after a great season of moral depression, this power from on high came down upon John Tillotson and Owen and Flavel and Baxter and Bunyan, and there was a deluge of mercy lugher than the tops of the highest mountains of sin. In the Eighteenth century, in England and America, religion was at a low water mark. William Cowper, writing of the clergy of those days, said : Except a IW with Eli's suii-it hlest, HopUni and lMiiiiciis may ilcsci ilie the rest. The inlldel writings of Shaftesbury and Hobbes ,-iml Chubb had done their work. But power from on high came upon both the Wesleys and Lady Hunt ington on the other side the Atlantic, and upon William Tonnant and Gilbert Tennant and David Brainerd on tins side the Atlantic, and both hemispheres felt the tread of a pardoning God. Coming to later date there may be here utid there m this audience an aged man or woman who can remember New York in 1S31, when this power from on high descended most won- drously. It came upon pastors and congregations and theatres and com mercial establishments. Chatham Street theatre. New York, was the scene of a most tremendous religious awakening. A committee of Cliristiau gentlemen called Uxm the lessee of the theatre and said they would like to buy the lease of the theatre. He said, "What do vou want it for?" They replied, "For a church." "For wh-a-o-tf said the owner. "For a church," was the reply. The owner said, "You may have it, and I will give you a thousand dollars to help you on with your work." Arthur Tappan, a man might ily persecuted iu his time, but a man. as I saw him in his lost days, as houost and pure and good as any man I ever knew, stepped ou the stage of old Chatham theatre as the actors were dosing their morning rehearsal, and aid, "There will be preacliing here to night on this stage," and then gave out and wing with such people as wore there the old hymn: .he voice of nw graco crow, wcape U the mount ain. Tor all that bMli've Christ lias oiiem-d a fountain A BAKUOOM MM1K A PKATKH KOoM, rhe barroom of the theatre was turned Into a prayer nsim, ami eight hundred persons were present at the first meeting. For seventy successive niilhts religious nervines were held in that fieatre, and such scenes of mercv anil salvation as will be subjects of xiuversatlon and congratulation among the ransomed in glory as long as heaven lasts.
