DRooKLYN, October 27-The Rev. T. De
O Witt Talmage, DID,, preached to an
overf1owing congregation sst the Acad-
emy of Music to-day.
Before preaching he said that mistaken
notion was abroad that the insurance on his
destroyed church was enough 10 rebuild.
The repetition of disasters left us in debt.
We have practically built thre., churches
since l came to Brooklyn. First. The orisi-
nal Tabernacle. S On after that we made
an enlargement that cost almost as much as
a church. A few years after it AL burned.
Then we put up the building recently de-
stroyed, and reared it in a time when the
whole country was in its worst fl anoial dis
tress. 1t was these repeated dif asters that
left US in debt. My congregation have done
magnifcently, but any church would be in
debt after SO many calamties. Now for
the first time We are out of deb. But we
need at least one hundred thou and dollars
to build church large enough, aud we call
on people of all creeds and all l. IDS TO help.
Before l help dedieate a new church we
must have every dollar of it paid. | will
never again be pastor of a church in debt.
1t has crippled us III all movements, and l
shall never again wear the shackles. I
have for the last six cen years preached to
about five thousands people sitting and
standing, twice Sabbath, but everybody
knows that we need a place that will hold
eight thousand. | ehall not be surprised if
some man of wealth shall say: "Here are a
hundred thousand dollars if You will put up
memorial structure, and call il after the
name of my departed father Or child whose
memory [ want pat before all nations and
for all Time" And so it would be done.
Dr. Talmage's was: ''God shall wipe
away all tears frorn their eyes" Rev. vii,
II. He said:
Riding across a western prairie, wild flow
ers up to the hub of the carriage wheel, and
while a long distance from any shelter,
there came sudden shower, ard while the
rain was falling in torrents, the sun was
shining as brightly as ever sa " it shine;
and l thought, what a beautiful spectacle
this is? So the tears of the Bible are not
midnight storm, but rain on pansied prai-
ries in Gods sweet and golden sunlight.
You remember that bottle which David
labelled as containing tears. ard Mary's
tears, and Paul's tears, and ChIist's tears
and the harvest of joy that is to spring from
the sowing of tears. God mixes them.
God rounds them. God shows them where
to fall. God exhales them. A census is

A Row Of Pearls

Glistening through coral lips is certainly q
pleasing object; but row Of discolored, be-
specked teeth in any mouth at all is griev-
GUS drawback; add to this that such set of
teeth is usually accompanied by an impure
breath and one can scarcely imagine any
thing more objectionable. SOZODONT,

cupants from destruction, and counteract-

indigestion made my life burden

For more than four years suffered un-

distressed me, and only the most deli
cate could be digested at all. Within
the time mentioned several physicians
treated me without giving relief. Moth

manent good until 1 began the use, of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which has pro-
duced wonderful results. Soon after

Twine me wreath from the dark cypress
| shade,
And bring the green laurel to have it relaid;
atrike the chord for funeral hymn.
While we sing thee requiem;
Thou, one of many who died to save,
For your country filled soldiers grave;
Thou who. in the hour of victory,
Yielded thy life for our liberty;
Ca mly thou sank to thy last long rest,
Leaning thy head on thy comrades breast,
And the death film came over thine eye,
Hear with the death rattle was the vlctor's cry
Oh, it was hard it was hard to die
when life and hope were bounding SO high.
At last memory comes with crushing tide,
Bri nging visions of loved ones to thy side,
First that loved one who meath the trysting
tree,
Vowed to watch to wait, and TO pray for thee ::
who. with the oppressive stiffness reignipg
around,
Broken only by the distant canron sound;
Through all that wearisome live long day,
Never ceased for her lover to hope aud pray.
All she hears it now with g;isplDg breath.
How lowly he lies on the field OF death;
Then comes the form of that aged one.
To the faded visions of the dying son.
The father who watched him i'll chi1dhood's
hour,
Guiding him on with a 10 wing power,
Who comes ever with tottering steps to meet.
And loving welcome his soldier boy to greet.
oh he too, must feel with bursting heart,
How hard from those we love to cart,
CT scenes, of days that are long since past.
OF his childhood's hour by the river clear,
Where he sported and played for many year.
OF the bathers with whom he @mboled and
played
Beneath the old walnut trees spreading shade,
But the vision is gone, with g shivering chill,
The glazed eye is closed an / the form is still.
Lay him down tenderly. why now to him
cling?
Gently sure that was the touch cf an angels
wing.
And now, as the b. eeze goes floating along,
The car catches the sound of seraph IS song;
Come, thou peaceful spirit. come!
We will wait thee safely home.
No more for thee the eye of death
Will fade ere they have had their birth;
No more for thee will droop tbe lose.
Ere yet the day has reached its close;
But there will dwell beside that stream,
Where pleasure is no earthly rean1.
And welcome to that better LAM
Loved ones from thine earthly b md
Come in, love, we welcome thee.
Home to all eternity.

moving it from the present site, which
is not only badly located, but is fast
getting too small. This is q step in

should look to it that it is situated

DIRT BROKEN MONDAY ON THE

Work Commenced In Earnest and John.
son City Happy.

Early last Monday morning crowds
Of people could have been seen going
towards the junction OF the E. T., V.
& G. and c., G. & G. railroads. That
was the point selected by Mcdonald,
Shea & Co., the contractors, for begin
ming work.
Teams and laborers soon began to
arrive, and Notwithstanding the fact
that only two days notice had been
given in which to get teams and men,
the showing was very good. When
the six-o'clock whistle blew large
force of hands and teams began work.
The Three C's road was commenced,
and satisfactorily to the people. Large
wheeled and small scrapers were used,
and dirt was moved with rapidity
and ease that satisfied those present
that work was begun in earnest. Real
izing the Importance OF the work and
seeing with a prophetic eye, as it were
the grand future it opened up fol
Johnson City, the people felt good
and gave three hearty cheers for the
Three C's and Mcdonald, Shea & Co.
the contractors. They had waited
some time for this beginning, and
some were getting skeptical, but conf
dence is again established.
Work was pushed all day, and by
night a half mile of the long-looked
for Three C's had been graded.
Mr.. John Shea was in the city Mon
day and told THE COMET that the
money to build the road was assured
and they would push the road to com
pletion as fast as possible.
The work will be sub-let in few
days, and the entire line will be unde
construction in thirty days.
The contractors received ten new
wheeled scrapers this morning and ar
putting as many teams and men II
work as can be gotten. Their owl
teams from Knoxville will arrive soon
They are now finishing up contrac
there.
Up to the present time about 100
yards have been graded. Mcdonald
Shea & Co. are still advertising 70
teams and hands, and, if there is an
doubt in the minds of any one whethe
they mean business or not, crow
them with teams. 1t will be the pee

The present board has done some
good work, and they should be careful
to let such actions characterize their
whole years work. To do this they
will have to recall their action of last
week in reference to erecting public
building on the creek near McNee's
blacksmith shop. Besides the public.
ity of the place, which alone is suffi.
Gent to condemn it, it is nuisance, is
not needed and should not be built. II
such public buildings were necessar y
cities would supply them, but they do
not. The proper thing to do is to
have such sanitary regulations that
sill buildings win have to be supplied
with closets and they so arranged that
they can be cleaned readily. Exca-
waiting companies will be organized,
and employment viii be given to men
instead OF killing off citizens With the
awful stencil arising from . filthy
creek. Before the creek should be
made sewer it should be Strengthened
and covered through the city. Until
that time the city fathers should see
10 il that it be kept as clean as posi-
BILE. Take the 800 the site and house
would cost for this public nuisance
and put It in tSso streets and sidewalks.
