CRITICISM or MR.. TALMAGE'S METHODS

At the Church of Christian Endeayor, at Lee-ave.
and HOoper-st. Brooklyn, last evening, the pastor,
the Rev. DIR. Edward Eggleton, preached upon
Judging Others" In the prelude upon current
newspaper topics DR.. Eggleston said that,
Judging from several events of the past
week, it would seem that the world was not
going ahead. 1t was strange comment on modern
CIVILIZATION and Christianity that 40 much interest
was taken in brutal prizs-fght. The rf-raif had
made over the Constitution of California in their
own interests. The same conclusion rs to the
worlds advance was to be seen in the assumption
of an ecclesiastical council in calling itself tho
Court of Jesus Christ"
In his sermon the speaker after referring to the
necessity of forming judgments of men, especially
of those who are prominent, said: " Take the case
of Mr. Talmage which, after it, tedious dragging,
is out of the way Here we have to mako up our
minds His methods of pulpit work are
known all over the country. hundreds
of Young men entering the ministry are
initiating him. am perfectly willing that he should
save men in his way; couldn't save them in that
way but let him if he can. While have no desire
10 Interfere with Mr. Talmage. in speaking TO young
men who may enter the ministry themselves
must condemn his methods. A man IN writing
book or preaching q sermon challenges criticism"
