Mr.. Talmage's sermon last evening was on the
death OF Horace Greeley, and its lessons to literary
men and others. The Tabernacle was crowded to
its utmost capacity. Mr.. Greeley was a warm
friend OF the pastor Of the Tabernacle, and took
deep interest In the lay college connected with the
church, before which he lectured last Winter.
The preacher last evening spoke for nearly an
hour. An abstract of the discourse will be found
below. The text selected was Zechariah XII. 2:-
