AS New York paper says, DIR. Tai
mage does not belong to n class. He
is type by himself. A Caesar in the
course of right. His sermons are
unique, grand and thrilling. His voice
is like thunder in the heavens, pealing
forth an proclaiming the omnipitent.
He does not follow given style.
He creates style of his own, and he
fills the largest Protestant Church in
America to the doors every Sunday
morning and evening. His remark
able energy in handling religious
topics has commanded admiration even
from those who have differed with
him on matters of grave moment
His force of reasoning has won for
him the plaudits of millions His mar
velous gesticulations and dramatic
delivery have held audiences SPELL

moving about. In his pulpit he walks
back and forth when preaching. On the
street he walks with the springy step of
n man of 30, though he is now almost
81 years old. In his study he walks
when preparing his sermons. He can
think better when, walking. In his
home Dr. Talmage lives in an atmos-
phere of refinement and domestic sym
patty and love. The tender memories
of romance help to make sweet his
home life, and his family is his richest
blessing. He is q home man, and it is
at home that he prepares the sermons
that go out each week to every quar-
ter Of the globe. On the third floor of
his mansion at No. 1 South Oxford
Street, Brooklyn, its windows afford
ing view of Washington Park, is the
famous divine's study. 1t is large
room, filled from floor to ceiling with
books. A desk, strewn with books
and papers, stands well out from
the wall with chair between it and
the nearest window. Here, when DIR.
Talmage begins his work, no one may
enter except his stenographer. Once
ready to handle the subject that he has
selected he begins to pace back and
forth amid his books, his head slightly
bowed, forming aloud the sentences
that 60 to make up his sermon. The
stenographer takes down every word,
and when the sermon is finished 1t is
prepared on the typewriter and is
ready for revision. Even before the
sermon has been delivered to the audi
ence of 2, 900 in the Tabernacle its jour
ney around the world has begun. 1t is
supplied by great newspaper syndi-
cate, among them being paper in
Madras, India, one on the Isthmus Of
Panama, and others in China, New
Zealand and Australia.
When his hours of work are over DIR.
Talmage is always Sim to his visitors.
Go to his house and he will receive
you with a cordial handshake and a
genial smile. There is warmth in
his manner that puts You at once on a
sympathetic footing with, him.

Referring to the publication of his
