friends will be held Immediately af.er the
beneuiction this morning, when you will
please come up and report how many Chris
tian Herolds you will be responsible for or
how much you will subscribe directly TO the
shurch building fund.
,"As for myself subscribe year of SER
vices without any salary. For the rebuild
ing of our church do not propose to beg
and implore and beseech as ministers gen.
orally do when building churches. l did
that for the two previous churches we built
in Brooklyn, and the anxieties and worri-
meuts nearly took my life. I cannot do it
again: If the people want me to preach in
Brooklyn they will build the ch-rch. If
they do not want me to preachsin Brooklyn
they won't.
"Why build so expensive church, Be-
cause nothing is too good for the Lord and
because it is to be an immense building
holding seven thousand people-fve thou
sand in the main auditorium and lecture
room and adjoining rooms which will hold
two thousand more, and arranged 30 as to
be opened into the man auditorium.
There was hearty burst of applause
when DIR. Talmage said that his own con-
tribution would be years work without
salary. That is equivalent to $12, 600
Many of the congregation remained after
the services and assured the Doctor of their
cooperation in his plans.

A Fool for Luck.

said well known sporting man to a Louis
vile Commercial reporter: Il saw a very
funny thing happen in big game of poker the
other night A coterie of half dozen choice
spirits had their legs under the table and were
playing a stiff game. Great stacks of reds and
blues were in front of every one. and fully
S1.OO0 worth of chips were on the board. 4
certain well-known colonel of the city happened
INTO the room. and being pressed to it by the
crowd took a seat in the game. The old fellow
had been making a round of it and was in that
mellow state of semi stupor which dawns over
fellow after the corks have been popping. In
other words he was loaded; but he SAT down
anyway and bought 800 worth of chips. Only
few hands had been dealt when the colonies
mead sank softly down on his chest, his heavy
eyeiids closed, and he was fast sleep When
another ha cd had been dealt, one of the players
skinned his cards carefully, and discovered an
ace-kiag high flush of red, uhrobbing. living
hearts. He reached across the table and gave
the colonel a dig in the ribs. Wake up, said
be- wake UP and play your cards The colonel
hnally reused up, picked up his hand in jun
oied, careless fashion, and came in. The gen
tleman with the flush raised, and SO did the
colonel, and so on till every dollar before each
had gone to swell prodigiously big pot. The
boys hated to see the colonel betting away in
ms maudlin way. They pitied him. They Knew
ne was throwing his money at the birds. How
many cardsg said the dealer. Thump. thump,
the fists of the two men hit the table. They
were both pat. 1t was a show down then, and
the drowsy colonel spread out upon the board a
queen full, and the boys showed him the pot; he
was too drunk to reach for IL. The laugh was
on the other player, and he says it is the first
time he ever Weakened a man up to make him
play his hand, and he swears it will be the last. "
