I say it with rever ence, from all I can see. (Jod has nover half trie 1. You know as well as I ilo that many of tho most elaborate ami expensive, in dustries of our worl. I have been employe-l in creating artificial li'uht. H ilf of tho timo tho world is .i.'irk. Thii moon an l tho stars havi their Rlorioiis uses, but as instruments of illumi nation they are failures. They will not allow you to read a book or stop tho ruffl m istn of your 'rcat cities. Had not tho dark ness been persistently fought back by artifi cial means, the most of the world's enter prises would have halted half the time, while the crime of our j.'r-at municip.ilities would for half tho time run rampant and unre b;iked : hence ail the inventions for creating artificial liu'iit. from the flint struck against steel in centuries past to the dynamo of our electrical manufactories. What uncounted numbers of people at work the your round in making chandeliers and lamps and fixtures and wires and batturies where light shall bo made, fir along which light shall run, or where light shall poise! How many ban) arms of human toil and some of thoso baro arms are very tired in the creation of light ami its apparatus, and after all tho work tho greater part of the continents and hemis pheres at night have no light at all, except perhaps the fireflies fl ishiny their small lan terns across the swamp. Hut seti how easy (Jo. 1 made the light. He did not make bare His arm ; He did not even put forth His robed arm ; He did not lift so much as a ling -r. The flint out of which lie struck the noonday sun was the word. Light." '-Let there be light ! ' Adam did not s -e the sun uutil tho fourth day, for, though the sun w.ts create 1 on tho first day, it took its rays from tho lirst to the fourth day to work through the dense massof fluids by which this earth was compassed. Did you overhear of anything so easy as that? Si uniqucY Out of a word came tho blazing sun. the father of flowers, and warmth and light! Out of a word building a lire-place for all the Nations of the earth to warm them selves by! Yea. seven other worlds, live of them inconceivably larger than our own. and .v em -imie asteroius, or worl. is on g smaller scale ! The warmth and light foi this great brotherhood, great sisterhood great family of worlds, eighty-seven large! or smaller worlds, all from that one magnill cut fireplace, made out of the one word Light. The sun MMti.OfW) miles in diameter. I do not know how much grander a solar svs- tern Iod could have created if He had put forth His robed arm, to say nothing of an arm made bare ! But this I know, that oui noonday sun was a sp irk struck from the anvil of one word, and that word "Light." "I!ut," says some one. "do you not think that in making the machinery of tho uui-,-erso, of whi :h our solar system is com paratively a small wheel working into might ier wheels, it must have cost God some ex ertion? The upheaval of an arm either robed or an arm made baroY" No ; wo ara distinct ly told ol herwis?. Tho machinery of a universe (Jod madesimply with His lingers. David, inspired in a night song, says so 'When 1 consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers." A Scottish clergyman told me a few weeks ago of dyspeptic Thomas Carlyle walking out with a friend one, starry night, an.l ad the friend looked up and said. "What a splendid sky!"' Mr. Carlyle replied as he glan.vd upward, "Sad sight, sad sight !" NoS so thought David as ho read tho great S.-ripture of the night heavens. It was a sweep of embroidery, of vast tapestry, Go 1 manipulated. That is the allusion of tho psalmist to the woven hangings of tapestry as they were known long before David's time. Far back in the ages what enchant ment of thread and color, the Florentine velvets of silk and gold and Persian earpeta woven of goats' hair ! If you have been in the Gobelin manufactory of tapestry in Paris alas, now no more ! you witnessed won drous things as you saw the wooden needle or broach going back and forth and in and out ; you were transfixed with admiration at the patterns wrought. No wonder that Louis XIV bought it, and it became a possession of the throne, and for a long while none but thron"s and palaces might have any of its work! What triumphs of loom! What victory of skilled fingers ! So David says of the heavens that God's fingers wove into them the light ;that God's lingers tapestried them with stars; that (Jod s lingers em broidered them with worlds. How much of the immensity of the heavens David t ndcrstood Ido not know. Astronomy was born in China years before Christ was born. During the reign of Hoaug-Ti astronomers were put to death if they made wrong calculations about the heavens. Job understood the refraction of the sun's rays and s iid they were 'turned as the clay to the sea'." The pyramids were astronomical ob-s-'rvatories, an.l they were so long ago built I hat Isaiah refers to one of them in his nine teenth chapter and calls it the "pillar at the border." The first of all t lie sciences born w.s astronomy. Whether from knowledge already abroad or from direct inspiration, it seems to mo David had wide knowledge of the heavens. Whether he uuderstoo I the full force ol what he wrote, I kuow not. but the God who inspired him knew, and II j would not let David writo anything but trutti, an 1 therefore all the worlds that the tele scope ever reached or Copernicus or Galilei or Kepler or Newton or Laplace or Hers-.'hel or our own Mitchell ever saw were so easily made that thoy were made with the lingers. As easily as with your fingers you mold the wax. or tho clay, or the dough to partic ular shapes, so lie decided the shape of our world, and that it should weigh six sex tilliontons and appointed for all worlds their orbits and decided their color the yhite to Sirius, the ruddy to Aldehar.iu, tho yellow to Pollux, tho blue to Altair, marry ing some of the stars, asthe 2400 double stars that Herschel observed, administering to the whims of the variable stars as theit plance becomes brighter or dim. preparing what astronomers called, "tho girdle of Androme da." and tho nebula in the sword handle of Orion. Worlds on worlds ! Worlds under; worlds ! Worlds above worlds ! Worlds be yond worlds ! So many that arithtnaties are of no use in tho calculation ! But He counted them as Ho made them, and He made them with His fingers! Reservation of power! Suppression of omnipotence ! Resources as yet untouched ! Almightiness yet undemon st rated ! Now, I ask. for the benefit of all disheartened Christian workers, if Go.l ac complished so much with His fingers, what can He do when He puts out all His strength and when He unlimbers all the batteries of His omnipotence? The Bible speaks again nud again of God's outstretched arm. but only once, and that in the text, of the bare arm of God. My text makes it plain that the rectiflca- tion of this world Is a etupndou under taking. It takes mor"! pow?r to make this world over again than it took to make it at first. A word Was only necessary for tho first creation, but for the nw creation the nnsleeved and unhinderel fore arm of tin Almighty! The reason of th".t I can under stand. In the shipyards of Liverpool ot Glasgow or New York a great vessel is con structed. The architect draws out the plan. Ihe length of the beam, the capacity of ton nag '. the rotation of wheel or screw, the cabin, th ? rmsts an 1 all the appointments of ibis '.Treat palace of the deep. The architect finishes his work without nnv perplexity, and the crp3nters and the artistes toil on rhe craft so mauy hours a day. each one Join; hH part, until with ft tgs flying, and tho-.mn Is of people htz2iing on tne nocics, the vessel is launched. But out on the sea that steamer breaks her shaft and is limp'.ng slowly along toward harbor, when Caribbean Whirlwinds, those mighty hunters of tho deep, looking out for prey of ships, surroun I that wounded Vessel and pitch it on a rocky coast, and she lifts and falls in the breakers until every joint is loose, and every spir is down, r.nd every wave sweeps over tho hurricane deck as she parts midships. Would it not require more skill and power to get that splintered vessel off the rocks and reconstruct it than it required origin ally to build her? Aye! Our world that Go 1 built so beautiful, and which started out with all the flags of Edenlc foliage and with the chant of paradisaical bowers, has been sixty centuries pounding in the skerries of sin and sorrow, and to got her out, and to get her off. and to get her on the right way again will require more of omnipotence than it required to build her and launch her. fio I nm not surprised that though in the drv doek of one word our world was made, it will take the uusleeved arm of God to lift hot from the rocks an l put her on the right course again. It is evident from my text and its comparison With other text? that it would not be so great an undertaking to make a whole constellation of worlds, and a whole galaxy of worlds, ami a whole astrono my of worlds, and swing them in their right orbits as to take this wounded world, this stranded world, this bankrupt world, this destroyed world, and make it us good as When it srarted. Now, just look at theenthrono 1 difficulties in the way. the removal of which, the over throw of whieli, seem to requ ire the bare right arm of omnipotence. There stauds heathenism, with its 800,000,000 victims. I do not care whether you call them Brahm ins or Buddhists. Confucians or fetich idolaters. At the World's Fair in Chicago last summer those monstrosities of religion trie 1 to make themselves respectable, but tho long hair and baggy trousers and trinketexl ro'ws of their representatives cannot hide from the world the fact that those roligions are the authors of funeral pyre, and juggern mt crushing, and Ganges infanticide, and Chi nese shoo torture, and tho aggregated mas sacres ot many centuries. They have theit heels on India, on China, on Persia, on Borneo, on three-fourths of tho acreage of our poor old world. I know that the missionaries, who are the most sacrificing and Christlike men and women on earth, are making steady and glorious inroads upon these built up abomi nations of the centuries. All this stuff that you see in some of the newspapers about tho missionaries as living in luxury and idleness is promulgated by corrupt American or Eng lish or Scotch merchants, whose loose be havior in heathen cities has been rebuked by the missionaries, an i these corrupt mer chants write hone or tell innoeeut and un suspecting visitors in In Jia or China or tho darkened islands of the se'i these talsohoods about our consecrated inissionaires, who, turning their backs on home and civilization and emolument and comfort, spend theit lives in trying to introduce the mercy ol the gospel among the downtrodden of heathenism. Some of those mer chants leave their families in America or England or Scotland and stay for a few years in the ports of heathenism while they are making their fortunes in the tea or rice or opium tra le and while they are thus i ubi-eut from home give themselves to orgies of dissoluteness such as no pen or tongue could, without the abolition of all decency, attempt to report. Tho presence of tho mis sionaries, with their pure and noble house holds, in those heathen ports is a constant rebuke to such debauchees and miscreants. If satan should visit heaven, from which he was once roughly but justly expatriated, and he would write home to the realms pn demoniac, his correspondence published in Di.ibolos G.itte ot Apollyouic News, about what lie ha 1 s;en, he womd report tho temple of God an i the Lamb as a broken down church, and tho house of many mansions as a disreputable place, and the cherubim as suspicious of mor als. Sin never did like holiness, and you had better not depend upon s itanie report of the sublime and rnultipotent work of our missionaries in foreign lands. But notwith standing ail that these men and women of God have achieved, they feel an.l we all feed that if the idolatrous lands are to bo Chris lianized there needs to be a power from the heavens that has not yet condescended, anil we feel like crying out in the words of Charles Wesley : Arm of the Lord, awake, awake! Put on Thy strength, the Nations shake! Aye. it is not only the Lord's arm that is needed, the holy arm, the outstretched arm, but the bare arm ! There, too. stands Mohammedanism, with its 17G.000.000 victims. ItsBibloistheKoran.a book not quite as large as our New Testa ment, which was revealed to Moh'immed when in epileptic fits, and resuscitated from these fits he dictated it to scribes. Yet it is read to-day by more people than any other book overwritten. Mohammed, the founder of that religion, a polygamlst, with superflu ity of wives, the first step ot his religion on the body, mind and soul of wonvm, and no won lor that the heaven of the Koran is an everlasting SoJom. an infinite seraglio, about which Mohammed promises that each follower shall have In thf,t place seventy-two wives, in addition to all the wives he had on earth, but that no ol I woman shall ever enter heaven. Wh?n a bishop of England ecently proposed that the best way of saving Mohammedans vas to let them keep their religion, but engraft upon it some new principles from Chris tianity, he perpetrated an ecclesiastical jo'ie, at which no man can laugh who has ever seen the tyranny and domestic wretchedness which always appear where that religion gets foothold. It has marched across conti nents and now proposes to set up its filthy :.nd accursed b:inner in America, and what it has done for Turkey it would like to do for our Nation. A religion that brutally treats womanhood ought never to bo fostered in our country. But there never was a re ligion so absurd or wicked that it did not get disciples, and there are enough fools in America to make a large diseipleship oc Mohammedanism. This corrupt religion ha-; been making steady progress for hundreds oJ years, and notwithstanding all tho splendid work done by the Jessups, and the Goodells, and tho Blisses, anil the Van Dykes, aud thu Posts, and the Misses Bo wens, and the Misses Thompsons, and scores of other men an l wo men of whom the world was not worthy, there it stands, the giant of sin. Mohamme danism, with one foot on thj heart of wo man aud the other on the heart of Christ, while it mumbles from its minarets this stu penduous blasphemy: "God is great, anl -Mohammed His is prophet." Let the Chris tian printing press at Beyroot and Constanti nople keep on with their work and the men and women of God in the mission fields toil until tho Lord crowns them, but what wj are ali hoping for is some supernatural fro u tho heavens, as yet unseen, something stretched down out of the skies, something like an arm nncovereJ, the bare arm of the God of Nations ! There stands also the arch demon of alco holism. Its throne is white and ma le ot bleached human skulls. On one side of that throne of skulls kneels in obeisance and worship democracy, aud on the other side republicanism, and the one that kisses the cancerous and gangrened foot of this despot the oftenest gets the most benedictions. There is a Hudson Eiver, an Ohio, a Missis sippi of etronjr drink rolling through thig Nation, but as the rivers from which I take my figure of speech empty into the Atlantic or the Gulf this mightier flood of sickness and insanity and domestic ruin and crime and bankruptcy and woe empties into the hearts, and the bomts. r,nd the churches, and the time, and the oternity of a multitude beyond all statistics to number or describe. All Nations are mauled and scarified with baleful stimulus, or killing narcotic. The pulque of Mexico, the cashew of Brazil, the hasheesh of Persia, the opium of China, thu guavo ol iionauras, tne wearo of Russia, the soma of India, the aguardiente of Morocco, the arak of Arabia, tho mastic; of Syria, the rakl of Turkey, the beer of Ger many, the whisky of Scotland, the ale Of England, the all drinks of America, are do ing their best to stupefy, inflame, dement, impoverish, brutalize an I slay the human race. Human power, unless re-enforced from the heavens, can never extirpate tho evils I mention. Much good ha? been ac complished by the heroi3 n and fidelity of Christian reformers, but the fact remains that there aro more splendid men and mag nificent women this moment going over the Niagara abysm of inebriety than at any time since the first grape wai turned into wine and the first head of rye began to soak in a brewery. When people touch this subjecr, they are apt to give statistics as to how many millions are in drunkards' graves, or with quick tread marching on toward them. Tho land Is full of talk of high tariff and low tariff, but what about the highest of all tariffs in this country, the tariff of 900, 000,000 which rum put upon the United States in 1S1, for that is what it cost UsY You do not tremble or turn pale when I say that. Tho fact is we have become hardened by sta tistics, and they make little impress-ion. But if some one could gather into one mighty lake nil the tears thnt have been wrung out of orphanage and widowhood, or into one organ diapason ull the groans that have been uttered by tho suffering victims of this holocaust, or into one whirlwin! all the sighs of centuries of dissipation, or from tho wicket oT one immense prison have look upon us thti glaring eyes of all those whom strong drink has enduugeono l, we might perhaps realize the appalling desolation. But, no, no, the sight would forever blast our vision ; the souud would forever stun our souls. Go on with your te:npera.iC4 literature ; go on with your temperance plat forms j go on With your temperance Jaws. But We are all hoping for something from above, and While the bare arm of suffering, and the bare arm of invalidism, aud the bare arm of poverty, and the bare arm ol domes tic desolation," from which rum hath torn tho sleeve, are lifted up in beggary au I suppli cation and despair, let the bare arm ot God strike tho breweries, and tho liquor stores, and tho corrupt politics, and the license laws, and the whole inferno of grogshops all around tho world. Down, thou accursed bottle, from the throne ! Into the dust, thou king of tho demijohn ! Parchod bo thy lips, thou winocup, with tiros that shall never bo quenched ! But I have no time to specify the manifold evil that challenge Christianity. Aud I think I havo seen in some Christians, and read in somo newspapers, and heard from some pulpits a disheartenment, as though Christianity were so worste 1 that it is hardly worth while to attempt to win this world for Gol. and that all Christian work would col lapse, and that it is no use for you to teach a Sabbath class, or distribute tracts, or exhort in prayer meetings, or preach in a pulpit, as satan is gaining ground. To rebuke that pessimism, the gospel of smashup, I preach this sermon, showing that you are on tho winning side. Go ahead ! Fight on ! AVhat I want to make out to-day is that our ammu nition is not exhausted ; that all which has been accomplished has been only the skirm ishing beforo tho great Armaged ion ; that not more than one of the thousand fountains of beauty in the King's piirk has begun to play ; that not more than one brig ide or the Innumerable host3 to be marshaled by the rider on the white horse has yet taken the field ; that what God has done yet has neeu With arm folded in flowing robe, but that the time is coming when Ho will rise from His throne, anl throw off that robe, and come out of tho palacesof eternity, and coma down the stairs of heaven with all couquer ing stop, and halt in tho presence of expec tant Nations, aud flashing His omniscient eyes across the work to b j done will put back tho sleeve of His right arm to the shoul der, and roll it up there, and for the world's final and comploto rescue make baro His arm. Who cau doubt tho result when ac cording to my text Jehovah doji His best ; wnen tae last rasorvo torca or omnipo tence takes tho field; when tho last sword of eternal might leaps from its -c:ib-bard? Do you know what decided tho battle of Sedan? Tne hills a thousand feet high. Eleven hundred cannons on tho hills. Artillery on tho heights of Givonuo, and twelve German batteries on tho heights of La Moncello. The Crown Trince of Sax ony watched tho sceno from tho heights of Mairy. Between a quarter to C o'clock in Pho morning and 1 o'clock in tho afternoon of September 2, 1870. tho hills droppod tho shells that shattered tho French host in the valley. The French Emperor and the 80,000 of his army captured by the hills. So in this conflict now raging between holiness and gin "our eyes aro unto the hills." Downhoro in the valleys of earth wj must be valiant soldiers of tho cross, but the Com mander of our host walks tho heights aud views the scene far better than we cau in tho valleys, and at the right day and tho right hour all heaven will open its batteries on our side, and the Commauder of tho hosts of un righteousness with all his followers will sur render, and it will take eternity to fully cele brate the universal victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. "Our eyes are unto the hills." It is so certain to be accomplished that Isaiah in my text looks down through the field glass of prophecy and speaks of it as already ac complished, ard I take my stand where the prophet took his .stand ami loolc at it as all done. "Halleluiah, 'tis done." See ! Those cities without a tear! Look! Those con tinents without a pang. Behold ! Those hemispheres without a sin ! Why, thos? deserts, Abrabian desert, American des ert, and Croat Si'iara desert, aro all irrigated into gardens where God walks in the cool of tho day. The atmosphere that encircles our globe floating not one gro:iu. All the rivers and lakos and ojeaus dimpled with not ono falling tear. Tho climates of tho earth have dropped out ot thru the rigors of the cold and the blasts of tno heat, aud it is universal spring! L't in cliauge the old world's name. Let it no more oe called the earth, as when it was reeking with everything pestiferous and malevolent, scar leted with battlefields and gashed with graves, but now so changed, so aromatic with gardens, and so resonant with song, and so rubesceut with beauty, let us call it Immanuel's Land or Beulah or millennial gardens or paradise regained or heaven I And to God, the only wise, tho only good, the only great, be giory forever. Anion. PECKHAM FOR JUSTICE. Cleveland Nominates Him for tlltr Supreme Court IJcnch. The President sent to tho United States Senate the name of Wheeler H. Peckham, of New York City, to be Associate Justice oi the Supreme Court. Wheeler H. Peckham. nominated for Associate Justice of the Su preme Court, is a brother of Judge Rufus Peckham. of tho New York Court of Ap peals. He was appointed District A'. torno by Mr. Cleveland when he was Governor, but subsequently resigned. Although the New York Senators delined tc talk. It was understood that the nomination was distasteful to them, but they would have been glad to have seen tho name of the brother sent in instead. The indication4 seemed to be that the Hornblower struggle would be renewed against this nominee.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS WITH THE CORRESPONDENCE. Willis Asked to Kxplaiu President Dole Wants lo Know Whether He Intends to Enforce His Demands With Arms Willis Says Dole In sulted President Cleveland. President Cleveland, In a brief note of transmittal, sent to Congress the latest cor respondence relating to Hawaii. It com prises some brief notes of Minister Willis to Secretary Gresham, which are unimportant, but the chief features of it are letters passing between Minister Willis and President Dole, in one of which the Minister com plains of an utterance of Presi dent Dole as reflecting on the President of the United States, and a letter from Presi dent Dole, in which ho specifically inquires if Minister Willis's instructions authorized tho use of force. Both those matters nppe.tr to have been settled by the receipt of thi last message of tho President to Cougrcss and the last instructions of Secretary Gres ham to Minister Willis. The interest felt in Hawaiian tiffairs was manifested in a striking manner when Presi dent Cleveland's message, transmitting the latest diplomatic correspondence on the sub ject, was laid before the House of Repre sentatives. The House insisted on hearing all the cor respondence read a most unusual thing and every word was heard in the remotest corner of the hall, so absorbed was every one in listening to tho clerk as he read. The following is tho letter of transmittal "To the Congress : "I transmit herewith dispatches received yesterday from our Minister at Hawaii, with certain correspondence which accompanied the same, including a most extraordinary letter, dated December 27, 1893, signed by Sanford B. Dole, Minister of Foreign Affairs of tho Provisional Government. and addressed lo our Minister, Mr. Willis, and delivered to him a number of hours after the arrival at Honolulu of a copy of my message to Con gress on tho Hawaiian question, with copies of the instructions given to our Minister. "Gkoveb Cleveland "Executive Mansion, January 20, 18'J4. The letter of December 27. to which the President refers, was sent to Minister Willis by Mr. Dole, and part of tho language is herewith presented : "I desire to call your Excellency's most serious consideration to tho dangerous and critical condition ot this community, arising, I must respectfully submit, out of the at titude which you havo assumed, and the language which you have used in public, and in communications to tho Government, and also out of the published letter of tho Secretary of State of tho United States and the President's message on the subject of the restoration of the Monarchy. "This Government has most earnestly sought from you and through our represen tative at Washington, from your Govern ment, some assuranco that force will not be usad, and has failed to obtain it. Your ac tion has unfortunately aroused the passions of all parties and made it probable that dis turbances may be created tit any moment. "Iam informed by military authorities that while the force at your command is suf ficient to destroy this city, it is insufficient to suppress any general rising and conflict or armed torces and insurrections, or to pre vent tho loss of life and property. "This Government is reluctant to believe that this condition of affairs was contemplat ed or expected by yourself or by the Presi dent of tho United States. "I have therefore to ask you to inform me. with the least delay, whether you hold in structions to enforce your policy with the use of arms in any event." Minister Willis was more than surprised at receiving such a letter, and in reply asked the charges so unjustly put forward should bo made more specific. To this Mr. Dole an swered that tho special message of tho Pres ident of the United States had rendered any further correspondence on tho subject un necessary. Believing that the charges, whether so in tended or not, reflected upon the President. Mr. Willis again insisted that the desired specifications bo furnished as soon as con venient, but up to the time of the steamer's departure, no answer had been received. In a letter to Secretary Gresham, Mr. Willis Bays : "This delay in answering is a great sur prise and regret. I am fully prepared to show that every step taken by the represen tatives of our Government has been in the direction of peace and cood order, and that the military preparations of tho Provisional Government were in progress at the time of my arrival." The remainder of the correspondence con sists of the full text of tho letters, of which tho material portions have been quoted. PROMINENT PEOPLE. Jules Verne iy sixty-five years old.

VI Tabernacle that li inten bd to r-xij-n, and that his resi--n.it i.m would o-o into eifect on the occasion of the t w nt v-II ft h anniversary of tho day he took charge of t ho church. The church was crowded to the doors, an I when Mr. T.ilinngo ma. Ik '.he almoin nciif men and women were almost sp hl :n with surprise for several minutes. There had been no intimation of surh it thing. His text was from Itevehitioim vil., 17 "And Be shall wipe awavall tears from their eyes." When the sermon was finished Dr. Talmage s iid "I have an iiiitiotineomerit to mak which may bo of borne interest to this congrega tion." He then leaned over and, picking up sev eral sheets of paper, began reading us fol lows "This corning pprlng I will have been pas tor of this church twenty-flvo yeari. A quar ter of a century is long enough for any min ister to preach in one place. At that anni versary I will resign this pulpit, and it will be occupied by such person as you may "-leof .

I have no vocabulary intense enough to ex press my gratitude to the newspaper pres. of these cities for the generous manner In which they have treated tne and augmerite 1 my work for this quarter of a century. "After such a long pastoral I! In a pnin ful thing to break the ties of affection, tut I hope our friendship will bo renew: 1 In heaven." As Dr. Talmage finished apeakln ; ho aoemsd almost to break down. Ho nervously clutched at a glass of water wlih li was bo hide him, ami after taking a long drink seemed to regain hi Mrength. Ho tri"d to join tho congregation in singing the closiu:; hymn, but could not do go. Alter the hymn was sung bo pronounce the enodi"tion, and then hurr.'.dly leltihe church for his hom" When Dr. Talmage was seen at his lio n he refused to say anything about hi- o.-iu j for redg:.Ing troin tho church. "I have nothing further to s iy to th- p i . lie now beyond what is eontabio 1 in the .-.u nouncement thut I made, at the church t'ni evening." It i suggested that Dr. Talmas?" Intend!-' resign lecaus he in opposed to tho Board of Trustees, wbo are anxious to charge an a! mission fee of ten cents to all visitors who a' tend the church. For several years Dr. Tat mago has been greatly worried by tho lln m cial condition of the Tabernacle. Hi salary is 412,000 a year, but durin- Hi? past four year ho has not received any thin ; lor his preaching. Dr. Talmage, In his r mons. often made the announcernicit fh-.t h: dolicate lhis salary aa pastor of the chur-t to the cause of God. He often went on lecturing tours, as he explained, to git mony to defray the ex penses of the Tabernacle.
