BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct 5.-Dr Talma0e.
before beginning his second sermon ON the
Holy Land this morning, stated that, as
previously announced, the sermon about to
be delivered would also be delivered in the
New York Academy Of Music In the even
ing. In consequence of the unprecedented
attendance the preceding Sunday evening,
when, despite tho fact that the Academy Of
Music accommodated fully 6,000, persons
many thousands were turned away, the
managers Of the Christian Herald had
opened negotiations with a view to
securing Madison Square garden for the
purpose of the remaining ten Sunday even
ing sermons. Owing to imperative en-
gagenents for the next three Sundays, the
garden could not be secured earlier than
four weeks hence, when the Christian
Herald expects to be able to give to DR..
Talmage an opportunity, during the re-
naming Sabbath evenings Of 1890, to speak
in the greatest public auditorium in New
York city, to the largest audiences that
ever assembled for divine service. The
seating capacity Of Madison Square garden
is Il, 900. The subject this morning was
my Second Day in PALESTINE After the
reading Of the Scriptures and two hearty
songs of worship by the congregation, the
preacher announced as his text Galatians

our last opportunity in Palestine for taking

about four hundred gardens, seven or eight
acres to the garden, from which at the
right seasons are plucked oranges, lemons,
figs, olives, citron and pomegranates, and
which hold up their censers OF perfume be-

proud, mysterious, solemn, ancient, un--
gainly, majestic and ridiculous shape, stalk
ing out of the past. 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 fast or you will fall Off backward
as he puts his fore feet in standing posture.
and then you will fall off In front as his
back legs take their place. But the inhab-

Here we meet people with faces. and
arms. and hands tattooed, as In all lands
sailors tattoo their arms with some favorite
ship or admired face. 1t was to this habit
OF tattooing among the Orientals that God
refers in a figure. when he says of his

Many OF these regions are naturally sandy
but by irrigation they are made fruitful
ard, as in this irrigation the brooks and
rivers are turned this way, and that to
water the gardens or farms, so the Bible
says, "The kings heart is In the hands of
the Lord, and he turneth it as the rivers Of

THE JEWS IN PALESTINE.
As we pass out aud on we find about
800 acres belonging to the Univer-
sal Israelitish Alliance. Montefiore, the
Israelitish centenarian aud philanthropist,
and Rothschild, the banker, and Others OF
the large-hearted have paid the passage to
Palestine for many Of the Israelites, and set
apart lands for their culture; and 1t is only
a beginning OF the fulfillment of divine
prophecy, when these people shall take
possession of the Holy Land The road
from Joppa 70 Jerusalem, and all the
roads leading TO Nazareth and Gal
lice we saw lined with PROFESSIONS
OF Jews, going to the sacred places,
either on holy pilgrimage or as settlers.
All the fingers of Providence now-a-days
are pointing toward that RESUMPTION OF
Palestine by the Israelites. l do not take
it that the prospered Israelites of other lands
are 70 go there They would be foolish to
leave their prosperities in our American
cities, whore they are among our best citi-
zens, and cross two seas to begin life over
again in strange land. But the outrages
heaped upon them in Russia, and the insults
offered them In Germany, will soon quadru-
pie and centuple the procession Of Israelites
from Russia to Palestine.
FACILITIES FOR GETTING THERE
will be multiplied, not only in the railroad
from Joppa to Jerusalem, to which | re-
ferred last Sabbath as being built, but per-
mission for a road from Damascus to the
bay OF Acre has been obtained, and that of
course will soon connect with Joppa, and
make one great ocean Ihore railroad So
the railroad from Jerusalem to Joppa, and
from Joppa to Damascus, will soon bring
all the Holy Land within a few hours Of
connection. Jewish colonization societies
in England and Russia are gathering
money for the transportation or
the Israelites TO Palestine, and for the pur-
chase for them Of lands and farming imple-
ments, and SO
MANY DESIRE TO GO,
that it is decided by lot as TO which families
shall go first. They were Gods chosen peo-
pie at the first, and he has promised to
bring them back to their home. and there
is no power in one thousand or five thou
sand years TO make God forget his promises.
