Rev. 7. Dewitt Talmage preached
lately to a large congregation at Mo-
bile, Ala, upon the subject OF "unap-
preciated Services the text being
taken from IL Corinthians, ri. ll-33:
Through n window in n basket wa 1
let down by the wall lie said:
Damascus is a city of white and
glistening architecture sometimes
called the eye of the east" sometimes
called "a pearl by emer-
aids, at one time distinguished Tor
swords of the best material called
amascu blades, and upholstery OF
richest fabric called damasks. A horse
mar by the name of Paul. riding
toward this city, had been thrown
from n saddle. The horse had dropped
under a Hash o the sky, when AT
the same time was so bright 1t blinded
the rider for many days, and think so
permanently injured his eyesight that
this defect of vision became the thorn
In the flesh he afterward speaks or lie
started for to butcher chris
tians, but after that hard fail from ms
horse he was a changed man and
preached Christ in Damascus till the
city was shaken to its dat
The mayor gives authority for his ar
rest, and the populr cry is: xiii him!
Kill him. The city is surrounded by
a high wall and the gates are watched
by the police lest the Chilean preacher
escape. Many OF h houses are built
on the wall, n their balconies pro-
Jected clear over and hovered ABOVE u
gardens outside. IL was CUSTOMARY TO
over baskets out OF these balconies
n pull up fruits and flowers from the
gardens. To this day visitors at the
monastery OF Mount Sinai are lifted

prowied around from house To mousse
looking FOR raul, his friends
hid him now in one place, now
in another. lie is no coward as
fifty incidents in his life demonstrate.
But he feels his work is not done yet,
and so he evades assassination. rs
