A reminiscence of Henry Ward Beech
er is always pleasing, and the more so
that his place in the cordial esteem Of
the public rests largely upon his boyish
love of fun, in which he was well
matched by his friend, the great preacher
Of the Tabernacle. is il true, Doctor"
asked fellow passenger of Or. Talmage,
''that when you were out west last SUM-
mer you were imposed on by what is
called a lung tester-a pipe that you are
told Will record the strength of your
lungs, but when blown into, covers your
face with -FOUR NO" replied the di-
vine. ''that is not true, although hate
10 spoil good story. 1t is only one of
those numberies5 yarns that must be
tagged on 10 somebody. Beecher used
70 divide the hOnors OF those sto-
ries with me, but now that Beecher is
gone they are mostly put on me. Just
after came TO Brooklyn l met Beecher
on the street one day and he said: Tai
mage, l am glad you have come to
Brooklyn to take a share Of the things
they put on me- So we had a standing
joke for years between US, and when
committees came TO Brooklyn and want
ed lectures or addresses, Beecher sent
them TO me and | sent them TO Beecher,
would tell them his street and number.
and urge them 10 be sure TO tell Mr..
Beecher that | sent them. 1t turned out,
however, that as we both had several
thousand more applications than we
could meet, our jokes on each other
gradually passed into nuisance and we
had to drop them"
Referring to his Life of Christ"
10 procure materials for which Dr.
Talmage is now on his way to
the Holy Land, he observed at table
this morning: "Some one here on
board expressed the hope that would
write my book in style and language so
simple that the busy people who work
all day, and who can get only snatch
of time at early morning or late at night,
may read it with profit. l offer ten
thousand thanks for that suggestion. |
have it in my notebook, have it in my
head. and have it in my heart, and
shall not forget to profit by it,"
My next letter will contain some in
structive and delightful talks have had
on shipboard. which / will mail on my
first opportunity. LOUIS KLoPsCH.
