Talmage's new church in Brooklyn not long

who would Ike to do something he couldn't,
aud told IN his happy way be wasn't allowed
10 speak any more, but they insisted. so he
responded to vociferOus encorPs. Some Of

10 make mistake by coming to New York,
but he evidently has not.
He wrote and delivered poem on Decora-
ton day, and he's going to fire off some
cracking verses on the Fourth of July.
