Brooklyn, n. Y, Nov. 1.-THE throngs
in and around Brooklyn Tabernacle are on
the increase. AS an evidence of the de-
mand for DIR. Talmages work, $1,000
copies OF his forthcoming subscription
book, "The Pathway Of Life," have been
bought from the Historical Company by
Messrs. b. f. Robinson & Co., Of Rich
mond, Virginia, although the retail prices
are from $3.50 TO S. a copy. In the his
tory OF literature no book has had such an
advanced sale.
At the Tabernacle this morning the Rev.
7. De Witt Talmage, d. d., took for the
subject Of his sermon, "Satan on His
Travels" Ills text was Job l., Z: "And
the Lord said unto Satan: Whence COM
est Thoup Then Satan answered the Lord
and said: From going TO and fro in the
earth and from walking up and down in
it,"
In 1872 was printed the largest book
ever published, namely, two huge volumes
OF near 5000 pages in small type, the au-
thor Joseph Caryl. 1t was commentary
on this book OF Job. When ii took II year
for the journey from England and India,
the son OF the author of this commentary
started for India, leaving his father writ
ing on his book, and was gone for years,
and when he came back to England still
found his father writing on il. l never
saw the commentary, but do not wonder
at its size, because there is no end to the
interest Of the Book OF Job. am not sur
prised that Goethe, the unbelievcr, took
from this wonderful book the opening Of
his drama, Faust" and the Mephsto-
phelcs Of the great German was only the
Satan OF Job. II seems that one
day in Heaven God was on His throne and
angels ana messengers came to report on
their different missions. / suppose one
angel said: 81 was out among the stars
and saw one Of them burn down" An
other angel, imagine, said: III was OIL
on stellar excursion and was present at
the birth OF new world.' Another
angel, | think said: 81 was journcying
jOOO0O,0OO miles in the wilderness Of i'm.
mensiiy and | ,aw meteor run down q
planet" Another angel 81 was of and
helped at the Inauguration OF n new mco
OF beings amid the mountains and valleys
OF that mighty world in the southeast part
Of the heavens" But while these good
and great spirits were making their re-
ports ghaslly, grizzly, hidcous monster
from some miry, sulphuTuus, filthy world
came into the palace without wiping his
feet, and God asked him where aud how
he had been occupying himself, aud this
greatest scoundrcl OF the universe made
reply with blazing cfrontcry, and in
stead Of acknowledging any Of the mis-.
chief he had been doing, said he hal been
an earthly pedestrian and had lived sort
of circumambulatory, penpaiouc life.
"And the Lord said unto Satan: Whence
CONTEST thou2 Then Satan answered the
Lord and said: From going 10 and lro In
the earth and from walking up and down
In IT,"
