BROOKLYN, November 1.-The throngs
in and around Brooklyn Tabernacle are on
the increase. As an evidence Of the de-
mard for D.. Talmags's work, two hun.
dred and fifty thousand ccp:e' ESQ, ,OCo) OF
bis forthcoming subscription book, ''The
Pathway Of Life" have been bought from
the Historical Company by Messrs. B. F.
Jchuson & Company, Of Richmond, yn-
ginia, although the retail prices are ffom
three dollars and half to five dollars q
copy. In tie history Of literature no book
has bsd such an advanced sale.
At tbs tabernacle this morning the Rev.
T. De Witt Talnage, D, D., took for the
subject of his sermon: Satan on His
Travels" His text was, Job IL: "Aud
the Lord said unto Satan: Whencs comest
ttou? Then Satan answered the Lord,
AID said: Fiom going TO and fro in the
earth, and from walking up and down
in it."
In my text we have Satan on bis travels,
and am going to tell you some OF the
routes he is apt to take. Ga his way down
from the palace where ne reported himself
in answer to the question; Whence comest
thou? the first range ofmiscbief he may
bs expected to take is the air. 1t was not
a wilticism or slip Of the pen when Paul
in his letter to the Ephesians called Satan
the "Princs Of the Power Of the Air" /
think it means that Satan works through
conditions of the atmosphere. The West
wind is full of angels, the East wind is
full of devils. Satan spreads abroad his
black wings and hurric ines and eurocIy-
dons and Caribbean whirlwiuds end
euuincctials are hstched ont. He
takes the miasmas that float
up from sSamps aud matches them
into typhoid fevers. He takes the co d
blss's and matches them into pneumonias
and rheumatisms and consumptiocs. Not
only has hs power in the uppe. air where
highest clouds float, but power over the
lover air which we bIelthe, and rs we
breathe nineteen times minute and take
in $50 cubic feet of air in every twenty.
four hours, and much of this air affects the
attsrial circulation, you sse what opportu-
mites the Prince of ths Air has o! contAml-
mating and despciliug and demoralizing q
man. Through atmospheric inhuencs he
CLOUDS THE DISPOSITION.
spd rSsps the nerves and covers the best OF
neonle with religious dcspCudoncy as in
sbe case of Edward PaYton and William
Cowner ard that beloved apostle of Evan,
geli am. James w. Alexander. Hts great
dslipht is to have the air OF chufcne'
yilisted, and in that way du Is she preac D.
er and stupifss the people, and sees % II
that the asmosptcre of not more than one
ont of a hundred churches is ht to bieasne'
aud the whole congregations Sabbath BY
sabbath are aspIyxisted. Yes, be is
Eorthy of the title ST. Paul gave him:
uPriuce of the Power of the Air"
Another route he is apt to take is
through domestic life. There ID no greater
sport for him than c,Djuges quarrel, l.
he marriage r r;ng has besn on the fog !
of the right hand, he will try 70 pull of
the sipaes. He says to the husband
"Wh,t plain wife you have compared
with what chs once was? Don't you BEE
that the color has gone out OF her chees
and thers are several wrinkles about ne'
temples, and a splinkliug of frost On he
locks? Besides that, you have adVaIc''
IN intelligence while she has stool still o
zone back. HoE hard it is that yor
should be chained to such dnllnes
and imbecility!" Then he turns and cay
+, the yifs: "That msn neglects you, yoI
nava a right to be jellous. He likes hi
cirr and his dub and ANYTHING an
everything be,tsr than you. Wny not e
a divorce? Marriage is only civil ontr@
ANYHOW and not q divine alliance. lie
ms have that ring. IL means nothing az
YOU might as we'll give 1t TO me. In
ring is handed over TO Satan and he tosee
il up and down like playthtng over tn
mouth of y rd,tion and says: Il will han
II b,ck. only let me have it a little while.
And he keep tossing the ring with all II
,acred memorieJ higher up and furth'
mt, tossing and catching, tossing an
catching it, until one day you Gu ca for i
crping: GIVE me back my Iing" but IL
1t hss droIp'd
INTO THE YAwEING GULF
and YOU suddenly find who has be-
nit ching and catching the ring, and yc
ry out: "Wnence c,mest thouE' and
answers: From going TO and fro In u
. domestic Ifs of the city and from Wa!kir
nm a cd down in il; that is all"
Another rout, that Satan is apt TO tai
in his active travels is the factories az
0 other establishments where capital sits
the cfiice or counting room and go
MANY hands of l.borerS are busy amol
wbee,s and spindlts ard fabyics. Oa II
