gible form till within a very recent period. After
the last meeting Of thei Presbytery, about a
month ago. como Of the clergymen com posing
the body held an informal consultation Ia re-
laid on the sen sational style OF preaching In
which he has OF late been indulging more than
ever. A general sentiment Of dlsspprobation
was evoked. especially With regard to what some
tions on the polity Of the church on the part
OF the Tabernacle preacher
In the line Of his shortcomings. IL Ia said
were included his visits to the haunts of vice
and his pictures OF giided sin, 50 vivldly pre-
sented to his congregation. Nothing definite
was determined upon in consultation. The
brethren came to the conclusion that It was
high time some action should be taken:
The feeling Of opposition to Mr.. Talmage.
which has been seething for some time. has
nearly bubbled over since the Presbytary last
met. His sharp thrusts at his contemporary
.pulpieers" have aroused a storm OF indigna-
tion not only among the clergy. but the laity as
well, and In some quarters demand that he be
disciplined has been earnestly made.
1t Is understood that the developments on the
trial Of the Tabernacle suit against Mr.. llsen
are discreditable to him, and they will probably
form portion Of the charges which 1t is re-
also claimed that. Talmage has practically
ceased to be Presbyterian.
