longing blest;
With His peace His presence enters,-He. the

TALMAGE.
The Great Preacher Will be at City Hall
Tonight

Where ever the Rev. DR.. Talmage, the
great Brooklyn divine, has lectured this
season, the halls have been all too small
to accommodate the great audiences.
His lecture tonight, at City Hall, in the
sixth Stockbridge, will doubtless be well
patronized, as those in other cities have
been. There will be large delegations
from out of town who will take advan-
tage of the half fares and late trains, and
those who get seats at the store today
will be sure of them which may not be
the case if they wait for evening at the
box Office.
DR.. Talmage's lecture tonight will be
on sBig Blenders" Of his lecture in
Boston the Herald said: HE preached
laughter and he practiced it, for almost
from his opening sentence until he bowed
himself off the platform the ex-
pansive smile that has become so thor
oughly identified with his features, over
spread his countenance. And he was not
the only man in the hall that looked
happy, for, with his witticisms, his terse-
ly expressed, homely truths, and his an
ecdotes, he kept his auditors almost con-
vulsed with laughter. Even the things
he said in all seriousness took a farcical
cast for the nonce, and. though they pro-
voked mer, iment at the time, were of a
character to bear fruit in the form of i'm
proved personal habits. His energies
and the word is used advisedly, for he
put nearly as much physical force in the
way of gestures, as vocal force into his
lecture-were directed at attempting to
impress upon his audience the impor-
lance of trying to appear happy under all
circumstances
