ADAMS. Tlio Kov. I)r. T. Do IVItt Tnlrcage—HU Father's Struggle*. Tho reception ivid wide circulation which tho press of the country has giv'?n the recent series of sermon? of Talinagj on the Marriage lling, show that the words of the reverend doctor have even grown in interest to tho public. He has reached the zenith of his fame and influence, as it doas seem scarce ly possible that a single minister couid attain a ,vidcr popularity than that which he now holds. 3?'.\ Talmago owes his success to lmnl, im flagging work. The faculty for this ho in herits from his parents. He was born in Bound Brook, N. J., fifty-four years ago, the youngest of twelve children. In referring to his father Dr. Talmage says: "My father started in life belonging to the aristocracy of hard knuckles, but had this high honor that no one could despise— h" was t'le son of a father who loved God and kept H.s commandments. Two eyes, two hands and two feet were the capital my father started with. For fifteen years an invalid, he had a fearful struggle to support his large family. More than once lis oame to his last dollar, but behind that last dollar he found Him who owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and out of the palm of whow hand all the fowls of heaven pock their food." Speaking of his mother, he says: "I was the child of her old age, and I remembrr how her voice use.l to tremble in evening prayer, with what kindness she started me out in life, and how she watched me and cared for me all the way through and then giving raeh one of us a blessing she went away to the palace window, where she is waiting for good news from us." After graduating from tV.e University of the City of Now York, T. Witfc Taimage studied law for one year. But he was iin pelied toward the pulpit, and he entered the Theological seminary at New Brunswick, N. J. His first charges were at Bellevus, N. J. and Syracuse, N. Y. From there he went to the Second Reformed Church of Philadelphia. Here his f.jmo began. After seven years of labor here ho went, in lfjii!, to the Brooklyn Tabernacle, which he has since rendered famous. Tho congregation was small, but his preaching soon attracted crowds far beyond the capacity of the build ing. A larger structure was erected, capable of seating :i,000 people. This was burned Dec. 2:2, 187:2. In 1874 tli:» present edifice was dedicated. It will seat 5,001) persons, though an enlargement of it has long been contemplate:!, owing to its present overcrowd ing, tho doctor himself often gaining ad mittance onlv through the aid of the notice. Dr. Tain luge preaches without notes and sometimes to emphasize his rcni he ges ticulates with the long and supple arms and legs which the Almighty has lavishly pro vided him with. REV. T. DE WITT TAT,MAC-E. An able writer says of his sermons: "Dr. Talinage starts out with a narration of inci dents told in Scripture in connection with the text. His voice is conversational in tone. He talks just as ho would if at a fireside, tie scribing scenery visited in foreign travel. With his hands folded behind his back, he leisurely promenades his long platform, about which there is neither railing nor the usual pulpit. Walking up and down, facing now one, now another section of the house, his unaffected narrative proceeds. He passes from pleasing narrative to entertaining his tory, and, while pointing to the enter taining features of it, also discloses with marvellous clearness tbo characters of the personages involved therein. But before his analysis has beea recorded a curtain falls over dazzling hall, rosplendant decorations and art treasures, and in their stead is opened up a view of a mountain and a cross upon it, with the Son of God being offered as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. Tho charming couserver, historian and artist has magically lured his audience on, en chained its fancy, spell-bound its attention, only to fit it for the transcendant glories of the divine s-ene he here presents. Now his thoughts glow and his gestures emphasize the ardor of his soul in the cause of salvation on and on, from height to height of divine eulogy he loads his listeners, while they tear fully follow. It is as n, reeounter of history that Dr. Taimage commands and delights his audiences. Governor of Kcw Slextco, E. G. BOSS. Among the noninations by tba president, which were recently continued by the senate, was that of E. i. Itoss, as governor of Now Mexico. The position is not an enviable one, as the territory contains within its borders some of tho most lawless elements to be found ill this country, not to mention the Mexican "greasers' that are a constant source of annoyance to the territory's execu tive. Governor P.o&s possesses that quiet I firmness that augers well for his success in this ollica. The salary accompanying this position is but £2,000 per year, and tho term uL uUu lor £oar cars. -CALL AND SEE AIE. Tavpsnaid for ^oil xaxes paiu SPRING 1886. New Attractions. For Everybody.
