congregation at the tabernacle Sunday that o
malicious falsehood had gone through the
country, saying that at a recent meeting Of
the officers Of the 18th regiment at his house
he had set before them four kinds Of wine.
He said: 81 viii pay $1,000 to any charita-
bic institution If it can be proved that one
drop Of wine or my other intoxicating liquor
was offered in my house that evening. The
twenty-five gentlemen present may be called
upon for testimony. Any three respectable
clergymen, or lawyers, or detectives may be
selected; they alsoT decide what charity
shall have the money. I ask tho newspapers
all over the land, which have been misled
by the falsehood, to correct it."
DR.. Talmage announced as the subject of
the sermon ''Loss and GAIN" and his text
was:
"What shall it profit q man, If he shall
gain the whole world, and lose his w soul p
Mark viii. 36.
I am accustomed, Sabbath by Sabbath, to
stand before an audience of bargain.makers.
before me, yet the vast majority of them, I
am well aware, are engaged from Monday
morning to Saturday night in the store. In
many of the families Of my congregation,
across the breakfast-table and the tea.table
are discussed questions of loss and gain. You
