Toxt : "Ono pfneration passeth away, anl nnoth'jr generation eometh." Ecelesiastes J., 4. According to tho longevity of people in their particular century lias a generation been called 100 j'ears, or fifty years, or thirty year. By common consent in our nineteenth centary a generation is fixe 1 at twenly-Qvo years. The largest procession that ever moved is the procpspion of years, ami tho greatest army that ever marched is tho army of gene rations. In each generation there aro about nine full regiments of days. Tlu'S j 0125 days in aeh generation march with wonderful precision. They never break ranks. They never ground arms. They never pitch tents. They never halt. They are never off on fur lough. They ciimo out of tho eternity past, and they move on toward tho etern'ty iuture. They cross rivers without any bridge or bouts. The 000 immortals of the Crime;i dashing into themcauso no confusion. They move as rapidly at midnight as at midnoon. Their haversacks aro full of good bread and bitter uloes, clusters of richest vintage and bottles of agonizing tears. With a regular tread that no order of ''double iuiek" can hasten or obstacle can slacken, their tramp is on and on and on and on while mountains crumble and pyramids di. "Ono generation passeth, find another generation eometh." This is my twenty-fifth anniversary ser mon lso'jind 1S!4. It is twenty-five years sincM I assumed the Brooklyn pastorate. A wliolegenenition has passed. Three genera tions we have known that which preceded our own, that which is now at the front, au 1 the one coming on. Wo are at the heels of our predecessors, and our successors are at our heels. What a generation it waa that preceded us ! We who are now in tho front regiment are the only ones competent to tell the new generation just now coming in sight who our predecessors were. Biography can not tell if. Autobiography cannot tell it. Biographies aro generally written by special friends of tho departed perhaps by wife or 6on or daughter and they only tell the good things. The biographers of ono of the first Presidents of the United States make no ree Drd of the President's account books, now in the archives at the Capitol, which I havo seen, telling how much ho lost or gained daily at the gamingtable. The biographers Df ono of the early Secretaries of the United States never described the scone that day witnessed when the Secretary was carried dead drunk from tho State cptirtments to his own home. Autobiography is written by tho man himself, and no ono would record for future times his own weaknesses and moral ueticits. Those who keep diaries put down only thingsthat road well. No man or wo man that ever lived would daro to make full record of r.ll tho thoughts and words of a lifetime. Wo who saw and heard much of fho generation marching just ahoad of us aro far more ablo than nny book to describo accurately to our successors who our predecessors were. Very much liko our selves, thank you. Human nature in them very much liko human nature in us. At our time of life they were very much liko wo now are. At the time they wore in their toens thej' were very much liko you are in your teens, and at tho timo they woro in their twenties they were very mueh liko you aro in your twenties. Human nature got an aw ful twist mider a fruit treo in Eden, and though the graco of God does much to strighfen things every new generation has tho same twist, and tho same work of straightening out has to bo done over again. A mother in tho country distticts, expect ing the neighbors at her table on some gala night, had with her own hands arrangod ev erything in taste, and as sho was about to turn from it to receive her guests saw her little child by accident upset a pitcher all over the white cloth and soil everything, and the mother lifted her hand to slap tho child, but she suddenly remomberoJ the titno when a little child herself, in her father's house, where they had always beforo been used to can lles, on tho purchase of a lamp, which was a matter of rarity and pride, she took it in her hands and dropped it, crashing into pieces, and looking up In her father's face, s.xp'vting chastisement, heard only tho Tords, "It is a sad loss, but never mind; you did not mean to do it." Hi.-tory repeat 3 itself. Generations wonderfully alike. Among that generation that is past, as in our own, and as it Will bo in the generation following us, those who succeeded became the target, shot at by those who did not succeed. In thoso times, as in ours, a man's bitterest enemies were those whom ho had bofrlended anil helped. Hates, jealousies and revenges wero just as lively in 180'J as in 1894. Hypocrisy sniffled an 1 looked solemn then as now. There was just as much avarice among tho apple bar rels as now among tho cottou bales and among the wheelbarrows as among tho locomotives. Tho tallow candles saw tho same sins that are now found under tho electric lights. nomespun was just as proud as is tho modern fashion plate. Twenty-live years yea, twenty-five 3onturios have not changed human uaturo a particle. I say this for tho encouragement of thoso who think that our times monopolizo all tho ahominations of the ages. One minute after Adam got outside of paradise he was just liko you, O man ! Ono step after Eve left the gate she was just liko you. O woman! All tho faults and vices aro many times centenarians. Yea, tho cities Sodom, Gomorrah, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Heiiopolis and ancient Memphis wero as much worse than our modern cities as you mi'lit expect from tlio fact that tlio motern cities have somewhat yielded to the re straints of Christianity, whllo thoso ancient cities wero not limited in their abomina tions. Yea, that generation which passed off. with in tlie last twenty-five years had their bo reavemeuts. their temptations, their strug gles, their dis ippointments, their successes, their failures, their gladnesses and their griefs, liko these two generations now in fight, that in .advance and that following, lint the twenty-five years between 186'J au I 1!1 how much they saw ! How much they discovered! How much they felt ! Within thai time have been performed tho miracles of the telephone and tho phonograph. From the observatories other worlds havo been Keen to heave in sight. Six Presidents of the United States havo been inaugurated. Transatlantic voyago abbreviated from ten days to Chicago and New York, once three days apart, now only twenty-four hours by the vestibule limited. Two addi tional railroads havo been built tothe Pacific. Franco has passed from monarchy to repub licanism. Many of tho cities havo nearly doubled their populations. During that generation the chief surviving heroes of the Civil War have gone into the encampment of the grave. The chief physicians, attorneys, orators, merchants, have passed off the eartn or are in retirement waiting for transition. Other men in editorial chairs, in pulpits, in Governors' mansions, in legislative, Sena torial and Congressional halls. There are not ten men or women on earth l ow prominent who were prominent twenty live years ago. Tho crew of this old ship of a world is all changed. Others at tho helm, others on tho "lookout," others climbing the ratlines. Time is a doctor who. with potent anodyne, has put an entire generation into sound sleep. Time, liko another Cromwell, has roughly prorogued parliament, and with iconoelasm driven nearly all tho rulers ex cept ono queen from their high places. So far as I observed that generation, for tho most part they did their best. Ghastly ex ceptions, but so far as I knew them they did quite well, and many of them gloriously well. They were born at the right time, and they died at the right time. They left tho world better than they found, it. We are indebted to them for the fact that they pre pared the way for our coming. Eighteen hundred and ninety-four reverently and gratefully salutes 1869. "One generation passeth away, and another generation eometh." There are fathers and mothers here whom I baptized in their infancy. There is not one person in this chuicn's board of session or trustees who was here when I came. Here and there in this vast assembly is one person who heard my opening sermon in Brooklyn, but not more than one person in every 500 now present. Of the seventeen persons who gave mo a unanimous call when I came, only three, I believe, are living. But this irnon In not a dirge. It is an anthem. While this world is appropriate as a temporary stay, as an eternal residence it would bo a dead failure. It would be a dreadful sentence if our raco were doomed to remain here a thousand winters acd a thousand summers. God keeps us hero Just long enough to glvo us an appetite "for heaven. Ilad wo botn born in celestial realms wo would not be ablo to appreciate the bliss. It neods a good many rough blasts in this world to qualify us to properly esti mate the superb climate of that good laud where it is never too cold or too hot, too cloudy or too glaring. Heaven will be more to us than to thoso supernal !einga who were never tempted or sick or bcroavod or tried or disappointed. So you may well take my text out of tho minor key and sot it to some tune in the major key. "One genera tion passeth away, and another generation comet h." Nothing can rob oa of the satisfaction that uncounted thousands of the generation Just past were converted, comforted and har vested for heaven by this church, whether in the present building or tho throe preced ing buil ling3 in which they worshiped. Tho two great organs of the previous churches went down in tho memorable fires, but tho multitudinous songs they lo l year after rear were not recalled or Injured. There is no power in earth or hell to kill a halleluiah. It is lmposslble to arrest a hosanna. What a satisfaction to know that there are many thousands in glory on whoso eternal wel fare this church wrought mightily! Noth ing can undo that work. They have ascend ed, the multitudes who served God in that generation. That chapter is gloriously ended. But that generation has left its im pression upon this generation. A sailor was dying on shipboarJ, and ho said to his mates : "My lads, I can only think of one passage of Scripture, 4The soul that sinneth, it shall die, and that keeps ringing in my ears. 'The soul that sinneth, It shall die. Can't you think of something else in tho Bible to cheer me up?" Well, Sailors are kind, and they tried to think of some other passago of Scrlpturo with which to console thoir dying comrade, but they could not. One of thom said t "Lot us call up the cabin boy. His mothor was a Chris tian, and I guess ho has a Bible." The cabin boy was called up, and tho dying sailor asked him if ho had a Bible. Ho said "Yes," but he could not exactly find it, and the dy ing sailor scolded him and said, "Ain't you ashamed of yoursolf not to read your Bible'' So tho boy explored the bottom of hi3 trunk and brought out the Bible, and his mother had marked a passage that just fitted tho dying sailor's ease, "Tho blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cle inseth from all sin." That helped tho sailor to die in peace. So one generation helps another, and good things written or said or done aro repro duced long afterward. During tho passing of Iho last generation some peculiar events havo unfolded. One day whilo resting at Sharon Springs, N. Y., 1 think it was in 1870, the year after my set was in latv, tno year aicer my set i Brooklyn, and while walking in )f that piace, I found myself asking lea. 'T wonder if tiiere is any Moment in the park of tno question t "L wonaer ir tuere is any special mission for me to execute in this world ? If there is, may God show it to mo !" 1 acre soon came upon me a great desire to preach tho gospel through the secular print ing press. I realised that tho vast majority or people, even in Christian lands, never enter a church, r.nd that it would bo an op portunity of usefulness inflnit a if that door or publication were opened. And 30 1 recorded that prayer in a blank boo'v and offered the prayer day in and day out until the answer came, though in a way different from ihat which I had expected, for it came through tho misrepresentation and persecution of enemies, and I have to record it for tho encouragement of all minis ters of the gospel who are misrepresented, that if the misrepresentation b9 virulent enough nnl bitter enough and continuous enough thero Is nothing that so widens ono's field of usefulness as hostile attack, if you are really doing the Lord's work. The hig-rer tho llo told about me, tho big ger the demand to S30 and hoar what I really was doing. From ono stage of sermonio publication to another the work has gone on until week by week, and for twenty-threo years, I have had the world for my audience, as no man ever had, and to-day more so than at nny other time. The syndicates in form me that my sormons go now to abou!; 25.000,000 of people in all lands. I mention this not in vain boast, but as a testimony to the fact that God answers prayer. Woul I Go 1 1 had better occupied the field and been more consecrated to the work I May God forgive me for lack of service in the past and double and quadruple and quintuple my work in future. In this my quarter century sermon I ro cor 1 the fact that side by side with the pro cession of blessings havo gono a procession of disasters. I am preaching to-day in the fourth church building since I began work in Ci is city. My first sermon was in tho old church on Schermorhorn street to an au li eiKo chiefly of empty Boats, for tho church was almost extinguished. That ehurch filled and overflowing, we built a larger church, which after two or three years disappeared in flame. Then we built another church, which also in a line of fiery succession dis appeared in the same way. Then we put up this building, and may it stand for many years, a fortress of righteousness and a lighthouse for the storm tossed, its gates crowded with vast assemblages long after we have ceased to frequent them ! We have raised in this ohurch over $1, 030,000 for church charitable purposes dur ing the present pastorate, while we havo given, free of all expense, the gospel to hun dreds of thousands of strangers, year by year. I record with gratitude to God that during this generation of twenty-live years I remember but two Sabbaths that I have missed servioe through anything like physical indispositions. Almost a fanatio on tho sub ject of physical exercise, I have made tho parks with which our city is blessed the means of good physical condition. A dally walk and run in the open air have kept mo ready for work and in good humor with ull the world. I say to all young ministers of tho gospel, it is easier to koop good health than to regain it when once lost. Tho reason so many good men think the world is going to ruin is because tneir own physical con dition is on the down grade. No man ought to preach who has a diseasod liver or an en larged spleen. There are two things ahead of ns that ought to keep us cheerful in our work heaven and the millennium. And now, having come up to the twenty liftli milestone m my pastorate, I wonder how many more miles I am to travel? Your company has been exceedingly pleasant, O my dear people, and I would liko to mara by your side until the generation with whom we are now moving abraast and step to stop viall have stacked arms after tho last bnttle. But the Lord knows best, and we ought to be willing to stay or go. Most of you are aware that I propose at this time, between the close of my twenty ilith year of pastorate and before the begin ning of my twenty-sixth year, to be absent for a few months in order to tako a journey around tho world. I expect to sail from San Francisco in the steamer Alameda May 81. T.y place here on Sabbaths will do fully oc cupied, while on Mondays and every Monday I w ill continue to speak through the printlug press in this and other lands as horetotoro. Why do I go? To make pastoral visitation among people I have never seen, but to whom I havo been permitted a long while to administer. I want to see them in their own cities, towns and neighborhoods. I want to know what nre their prosperities, what their adversities and what their opportunities, and go enlargo my work and get more ndapted- ness. Why do I go? Tor educational pur poses. I want to freshen my mind and heart by new scenes, new faces, new manners and customs. I want better to understand what are tho wrongs to be righted and the waste places to bo reclaimed. I will put all I learn in sermons to be preachod to you when I re turn. I want to see the Sandwiah Islands, not so much In the light of modern politics as in the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ which has transformed them, and Samoa and those vast realms of New Zealand, and Australia -.nd Ceylon and India. I want to see what Christianity ha3 accomplished. I want to see how the missionaries havo been lied about as living in luxury and idleness. I want to know whether tho heathen re ligions are really as tolerable and as com mendable as they were represented by their adherents in the parliament of religions at Chicago. I want to see whether Moham medanism and Buddhism would be gool things for transplantation in America, as it has again and again been argued. I want to hear the Brahmans pray. I want to test whether the Pacific Ocean treats its guests any better than does the Atlantic. I want to seethe wondrous architecture of India, and the Delhi and Cawnpore where Christ waa crucified in the massacre of His modern dis ciples, and the disabled Juggernaut un wneled by Christianity, and to see if the Taj which the Emperor 8ha Jehan built in honor of his empress really means any more than the plain slab we put above our dear departed. I want to 6e the fields where Havelock and Sir Colin Campbell won the day against the sepoys. I want to see the world from all sides. How much of it is in darkness, how much of it Is in light, what the Biblo means by the "ends of the earth," and get myself ready to appreciate the ex tent of the present to be made to Christ as enoken of in the Psalms, "Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine Inheri tance and the uttermost parts of tho earth for thy possession," and so I shall be ready to celebrate in heaven the victories of Christ In more rapturous Bong than I could havo rendered had I never teen the heathen abominations before they were conquered. And so I hope to come back refreshed, re enforced ard better equipped, and to do in ten years moro effectual work than I havo done in the last twenty-five. And now, in this twenty-fifth anniversary sermon, I propose to do two things first, to put a garland on the grave of the genera tion that has just passed off and then to put a palm branch in the hand of the generation just now coming on the field of action, for my text is true, "One generation passeth away, and another generation eometh." On, how many wo revered and honorod and loved in the last generation that quit tho earth ! Tears fell at the time of their going, and dirges were soundo l, and signals of mourn ing were put on, but neither tears nor dirgo nor somber veil told the half we felt. Their going left a vacancy in our souls that has never been filled up. We never get used to their absence. There aro times when the sight of something with whioh they were us sociated a picture, or a book, or a garment, or a staff breaks us down with emotion, but wo boar it simply because we have to boar it. Oh, how snow white thoir hair got. and how the wrinkles multiplied, and tho sight grew more dim, und the hearing less alert, and the step more frail, and one day they were gone out of the chair by the fireside, and from tho plate at the meal, and from the end of tho church Dow. where they worshiped with us. Oh, my soul, how wo miss them 1 But let us console each other with the thought that wo shall meet them again in the land of saluata lion and rounion. And now I twist a garland for that da parted generation. It neod not be costly, perhaps, just a handful of clover blossoms from the field through which they U9ed to walk, or as many violets as you could hold between tho thumb and the forefinger, plucked out of tho garden where they used to walk In tho cool of the day. Pat these old fashioned flowers right down over the heart that never again will ache, and the feet that will never again be weary, and the arm that has forever ceased to toil. Peace, father! Peace, mother ! Everlasting peace ! All that for the generation gone. But what shall we do with tho palm branch? That we will put in the hand of the generation coming on. Yours is to be the generation for victories. The last and the present generation have been perfecting the steam power, and the eloctrio light, and the electric forces. To these will be added trans portation. It will be your mission to use all these forces. Everything is ready for you to march right up and take this world for God and heaven. Get your heart right by repentance and the pardoning grace of tho Lord Jesus, and your mind right by elevat ing books and pictures, and your body right by gymnasium and field exercise, and plenty of ozone and by looking as often as you can upon the face of mountain aud of sea. Then start ! In God's name, start ! And hero is tho palm branch. From conquest to conquest, move right on and right up. You will soon havo the whole field for your self. Before another twenty-five years have gone, we will be out of tho pulpits, and the offices, and the stores, and the factories, nnd the benevolent institutions, ano. you wlU bo at the front. Forward into the battle ! It God be for you, who can be against you? "He that spared not His own Son, but deliv ered Him up for U3 all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" And, as for us who aro now at the front, Laving put tho garland on the gnwe of tho li-st generation, and having put the palm branch in the hand of the coming genera tion, we will cheer each other in the remain ing onsets and go into tho shining gate somewhere about the same time, and greeted by the generation that has preceded us we will have to wait only a little whllo to greet the generation that will come after us. And will not that bo glorious? Three generations in heaven together the grandfather, the eon and the grandson ; the grandmother, the daughter and tho granddaughter. And so with wider rango and keener faculty we ehall realize the full significance of the text, "One generation passeth away, and another generation eometh." C0MM0NWEALERS GUILTY. Coxcy, Browne and Jones Convicted of Trespass at Washington. Jacob S. Coxey and his lieutenants. Browne and Jones, wero convictod of violat ing the law in carrying banners and walking on the grass in the Capitol grounds at Wash incton. Anew trial wis aske 1. Tlio cases camo up in the police court at 10.15 o'clock, when ltepresentative Lafe Pence, of Colorado, address3d the jury as tho third anil last speaker for tho defence. Mr. Teno said that no one who had listened to the evidence given in the case could expect a conviction, and no one, iu his opinion, wanted a conviction except tho police officers, who had beeu very active in the matter. Mr. Tence believed that it was law'ul for tho Commonwealers to assemble in the Capitol grounds, but tho Judge had construed the law differently. District Attorney Birney then mado tho closing address for tho prosecution. Mr. Biruey appealed to the jury not to be in fluenced by outbursts of oratory and turned away from tho facts. Such a movement as this was what led to sedition and revolu tion. It was what caused the French revo lution, and there was no knowing what it might have started here if It had been successful. Coxey had pleaded that he did not know that he was committing a misdemeanor. Why, then, did ho have a protest prepared which ho proposed to hand to the authorities in case permission to speak on the Capitol steps was refused him? That proved that this was a wilful violation of tho law, as Coxey and his lieutenants were awaro of all tho facts of the case. This ended the arguments In the case. Iu a long charge Judge Miller told the jury they were simply trying the defendants under what was known as a police regulation, passed by Congress. Congress had the right to pass these regulations, and the people had no right to dictate to Congress how it should transact its business. All believed in liberty, but unrestricted liberty was tho worst thing in the world, and this law was simply u re striction, nnd it should be obeyed. "You must not be prejudiced," continued Judge Miller, "by your own views of any movements of this character. It is tho ritrht of anybody to entertain any views of govern ment he may desire. It is not only a right, it is a duty. The people havo tho perfect right to ventilate their views, but they must do it in a proper way aud within the law." Tho cases wero given to the jury at 12.55 o'clock. At 3.40 the jury returned, finding Coxey, Browne and Jones guilty on the firel count of the information, that of carrying a banner in the Capitol grounds contrary to law, and Coxey and Browne guilty, and Christopher Columbus Jones not guilty, on the second count of trespassing on the grass. Pending a motion for a new trial tha detend ants wero released on $500 bonds The penalty imposed by the statute for of fences of this kind is fine or imprisonment, or both, at the discretion of the Judge of the police court ; tho fino not to exceed 100. the imprisonment not to exceed sixty days. Maple Sujrar Harvest. The maple sugar harvest is reported to be a practical failure. One explanation given is the almost entire absence of frost in the ground, while another is the scarcity and unusually high wages of help. One author ity states that many of the best orchards have not been tapped. Only a small auantitv of sugar and syrup has come into the mar ket, an i. as would be expected, prices are higher than last year. A few extra fine lots have appeared, but. as a rule, the quality is . not up to the usual standard .
