stated that, Us previously announced
she sermon about to be delivered would
aIso be delivered in the New York acad-
amy of mn. g in the evening. IN conse-
aueuce Of the unprecedented attendance
the preceding Sunday evening, when,
drsnite the fact that the academy of
music accommodated fully 5000 persons,
rnpuy thousands were turned away, the
managers Of the Christian Herald had
opered negotiations with view to Sc
curing Madison Square garden for the
DurrOse OF the remaining ten Sunday
evening sermons. Owing TO imperative
eugnrr:neuts for the next three Sundays,
the garden could not be secured earlier
Than four weeks hence, when the Chris
tiau Herald expects 10 lie nbIe TO give 10
Or. Tnlmugr an opportunity, during IN"
remaining sabbath evenings OF $780, to
sneak IN the greatest public auditorium
IN New York city, to the largest audi
ences that ever assembled for divine ser

this morning was: "My Second Day in

Mohnmmedan with four wives-three too
many. The camel is a proud, mysterious,
solemn, ancient, ungainly, majestic and
ridiculous shape stalking out OF the ast.
The driver with his whip taps the camel
on the fore-leg. and he kneels to take
you as a rider. But when he rises, hold

be foolish TO leave their properties in
our American cities, where they are
among our best citizens, and cross two
