Sure Road to Salvation.
LONDON, July 24.-The attendances at
the services conducted by Rev. DR.. Tai
mage continue as great as ever. AT ev-
~ery stopping point during his preaching
tour he IS greeted by phenomenal audi
snces. Unless some change in the pro-
gramme becomes necessary he will, dur
ing the next ten days, preach IN the
leading Scottish cities, as already an
nounced. He has just returrsd from
Russia, whittier he Went With Mr..
Klopsch to supervise the distribution Of
the cargo of The Christian Herald relief
steamer Leo. The reception accorded
DR.. Talmage in the czar's capital city by
MOBILES, officials and the populace SHOW
that the hold he has upon the hearts OF
Christians is worldwide. The arrival
of the Leo was made the occasion OF
general rejoicing. The ST. Petersburg
officials conferred the freedom Of the
city on their American guests. The
Leo's cargo was forwarded to the fam
inc distris without delay. The sermon
selected for this week is entitled The
Souls Crisis from Isaiah ", s, Seek

Christ; but Isaiah gives US the full
length portrait of Christ. Other Scrip
ture writers excel III some things. Eze-
kiel more weird, David more pathetic.
Solomon more epigranamatic. Habak-
kuk more sublime. but when You want
to see Christ coming ont f,o.n the gates

So that If the prophecies IL regard 20
Christ might be called the "0ratorio OF
he Messiah, the writing of Isaiah is the
..HaIleluiah Chorus where all the ba-
tons wave aud all the trunpets come IN.
Isaiah was not man picked up out of
insigniicance by inspiration. He was
known an>l honored. Josephus and
Philo and Sirach extolled him il their
writings. What Paul was among the
apostles. Isaiah was among the prophets.
Ny text finds him standing on amour

anxious that all men might know him.
