of ST. Johns Revelation.
BROOKLYN. Nov. S--An overlooking CON
gregation mt the Brooklyn Tabernacle this
morning attested the interest the religious
public is taking in the series Of sermons
DIR. Talmage is preaching on what he saw,
confirmatory of the Scriptures, during his
tour from the pyramids TO the Acropolis.
This mornings sermon, the fourth of the
series, was on the islands of the Greek
archipelago The doctor took two texts:
Acts XXI, 3, when we had discovered
Cyprus we left it on the left hand;" and
Revelation l., 8, 81, John, was in the isle
that is called Patmos"
Goodby, Egypt Although interesting
and instructive beyond any country in all
the world, excepting the Holy Land, Egypt
was to me somewhat depressing. 1t was a
post norton examination Of cities that
died four thousand years ago. The mum
mics, or wrapped up bodies of the dead,
were prepared with reference to the Resur-
rection day, the Egyptians departing this
life wanting their bodies to be kept in as
good condition as possible so that they
would be presentabe when they were
called again to occupy them. But if when
Pharaoh comes to resurrection he finds his
body looking as saw bis mummy in the
museum at BOulac, his soul will become
an unwilling teuaut The SDhinx also
was to me a stern inOnstroSitv. a statue
carved out of rock Of red granite siyty-two
feet high and about one hundred and
forty-three feet long. and having the head
OF a man and the BODY of n lion.

desert 60 study It. With a cold smile il
has looked down upon thousands of wears
of earthly history, Egyptian civilization

upon the rise and fall of thrones innumer-
able; the victory and defeat of the armies
OF centuries. 1t took three thousand wears
TO make one wrinkle on its red check. 1t
Is dreadful in it's st0lidify. It's eyes have
