lTALMAGE IN LONDON.
'f,'S VIEW OF THE MODE IN WHICH
THE BlESr WILL SPEND ETERNITY.

l 1oiI NorfOW signing OF
The Music of Heaven.
LONDON July 1o-Dr. Talmage is spend
Ing very busy season in England Not
only in the London churches, but in the
provinces, enormous crowds have gathered
to hear the eloquent American preacher.
The great Shoreditch Tabernacle in the
east of London, where Rev. w. Cuff
breaches, was thoronged almost to suffoca
tion and the large Congregational church |
an the Hackney district could not hold |
half the people who tried to get into it,
though it was on a Monday evening that
Dr. Talmage preached there. Outside |
London the eagcrness to hear him has been !
4uite as intense.
In Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham,
Crewe and Hanley no church could be
found large enough to accommodate the
audiences and DR.. Talmage preached in
1he halls in which the great political con-
Mentions are held, and the capacity of these
was tested to the utmost. Since his ar
rival he has preached seven times each
week. The sermon selected for publica-
ZION this week is from the text, Revela-
lions vii, 9, 10, after this behcld, and lol
y great multitude which no man could
humber, of all nations and kindreds and
people and tongues, stood before the
throne and before the Lamb, clothed with
white robes, and palms in their hands, and
FRIED with loud voice. saying, Salvation
10 our God which stitch upon the throne,
md unto the Lamb"
1t is impossible to come in contact with
anything grand or beautiful in art. nature
Or religion without being profited and ee
waited. We go into the art gallery and our
soul meets the soul of the painter, and we
hear the hum of his forests and the clash
Df his conflicts, and see the cloud blossom
Ing of the sky and the foam poisoning Of
The ocean; and we come ont from the gal
}ery better men than when we went in
We go into the concert of music and are
lifted into enchantment; for days after our
soul seems to rock with a very tumult of
Coy, the sea, after long stress OF
weather, rolls and rocks and surges great
while before it comes back to its ordinary
calm.
On the same principle it is profitable TO
think of heaven, and look off upon that
landscape of Joy and light which St. John
depicts; the rivers of gladness, the trees of
lfc, the thrones of power, the commin-
Elings of everlasting love. | wish this
morning that | could bring heaven from
the list of intangibes and make it seem TO
you as it really is-the great fact in all his
tory, the depot of all ages, the parlor Of
Gods universe.
