TALMAGE AND HIS FUTURE.
Belief that He Will Never Again Have
Church In Brooklyn.

~.
1t is common belief in Brooklyn that the
burned Tabernacle will not be rebuilt, and
that Talmage'S career it's minister is
ended. The worldly might infer from their
frequent deliverances that he and his peo-
pie lived in chronic state of feverish
enthusiasm, with the hallelujah stop con-
tinually pulled out" / do not know what
that means; but it is Talmages own
phrase. Yet in the single week since the
church was burned he has departed on his
journey to Australia, his assistant has
gone to another church, his family has
left Brooklyn, and neither the trustees nor
members of the Tabernacle have taken
any measures to hold the congregation to-
gether, much less to build a new meeting
house. If, some think, they have been
awaiting public demand for a church for
their whilom minister and public subscrip-
their ears in vain. Brooklyn has taken
much interest in the mysterious causes of
the fire and very little. comparatively, in
Talmage's future. There have been queer
condolences in the unexplained burning
of two of his churches on the eve of his
departure on a long journey. about which
thoutghless tongues are still a-wagging.
Pastoral care of his people never much
occupied Talmage; he was their show"
and doubtless from his point of view they
had reason to be well content. No one
seems to have expected for moment that
he would stay unselfishly at home and
help re-establish his church. He only noti-
fed it's trustees that they must build him
a tabernacle unencumbered by debt, If he
was again to preach for them-scant COM
fort for a congregation burdened now be-
yond it's strength--and went his way con-
tentedly to exhibit himself to Australia
The truth is that his performances last
winter over his resignation and return to
the pulpit, when the Tabernacle compro-
missed with it's creditors at % cents on a.
dollar. opened many eyes to the mans real
traits and desires. The seoffing and the un-
regenerate are only a part of those who
now think him a vain. selfish deceitflIl
tuggler with a sacrilegious notoriety This
change of feeling accounts easily for the
present Indifference to his future. He NAV
preach again in Brooklyn in some theater
he may wander lecturing and exhorting
about the country, he may even try his
fortune in New York; but as a dsap-
pointed creditor of the Tabernacle. a
hasty and bluntly-spoken man once said
in helpless indignation. Does he think the
Omniscience that he talks about doesn't
know enough TO see through him?
