BBooKLYN, February 25-In the
Brooklyn Tabernacle this morning Rev.
Dr. Talmage chose for the subject Of
his sermon, The Human Face, and
held his great audience fascinated with
the charm Of his e.oQuence as he dis
coursed on a subject of universal inter
est The text was Ecclesiastics viii, il:
ga mans wisdom maketh his face 20
shine and the holiness OF his face shall
be changed, " OF, as il may be rendered,
''Tbe sourness of his face shall be sweet
ened."
Thus a li.tle change in our English
translation brings out the better mean
ing OF tbe text, which sets forth that
che character OF the face is decided by
the character OF the soul. The main
features Of our couuteuance were decid-
cd by the Almgb, and we cannot
change them; but under God we decide
whether we shall have countenances,
benicuaat or baiefu., sour or sweet,
wrallil. or genial, benevolent or mean,
honest OF scouDdroly, impudent or mod
esq., courageous OF cc"al-iy' lranN OF
sneaking. I'm an the works OF God
tDere is nothing more wonderful than
the human cOuuteaance. Though the
longest face is less than twelve inches
from lhe hairiiue or the forehead TO the
bottom OF the chin. and the broadcast
face IS less than eight inches from
cheek bone TO check bone, yet ln that
small compass God bath wrought such
differences that Che sixteen hundred
million OF the human race may be dis
tinguished from elch other by theIr
facial appearances. The race is ofd.n-
Criiy the index OF character. 10 is tlt
