FRIDAY, MAY IS, 1894.

HERE is a possibility that fourth
Brooklyn Tabernacle may be built, hut
the likelihood that it will be is small. Dr.
Talmage said that he regarded his pastoral
work as ended, though, Of course, he ex-
poets to continue preaching. To build him
new church will cost, it is estimated,
about f2s5, COO and DIR. Talmage declares
that not the first step toward its erection
must be taken until the necessary funds
are all secured. This is prudent deter
mination. His experience with huge
church debt has been sufficient to teach
him the folly Of going into an enterprise
that is not fully paid for at the start,
and he will be wise to stick to this decis-
ion

DR. TALMAGE has taken resolute stand
against a renewal Of the finan cial em-
Aarrassments under which he had been
laboring for many years. He has de-
slared that all the debts of the Brooklyn
Tabernacle must be liquidated, and at
least $3.50, 600 secured before he will enter
into another church building enterprise
Thissdecision may involve the disband-
nent of his large congregation, but 1t Is
treditable to his business sagacity and
good sense. The rebuilding of the Taber-
nacle on the present site with another
debt Of 100000 would be a blunder al
most criminal, for experience has shown
shat while he is popular preacher capa'
Bile OF drawing about him great audi
snces, he cannot depend upon them fol
she financial support required to pay fol
costly structures largely built on credit
Himself possessing business shrewdnes'
and practical ability in no ordinary degree
he has expended the best years OF his life IL
ministering to congregation which wa
hopelessly involved In debt. He canno
be censured il he refuses to go through
another campaign of this harassing ant
1emoralizing nature.

A NOVEL and extremely interesting ex-
pertinent is soon to be tried in Ohio. 1t
is new departure in road improvement,
which is claimed by its author to have
points Of marked superiority over the
building OF macadamized roads. The
plan is to extend the electric railway
cracks from cities and towns into the sur
rounding country, and to construct the
roads IN such way that they can be used
Tor wagons and carriages drawn by horses
As well as by cars or course there will
ever such roads are used, since far heavier
loads can be drawn on steel tracks with
She same force. In two counties of Ohio
trial will be made of this system the
present year 1t need hardly be said that
the result will be awaited with much
interest not only In Ohio, but in other
states. The question of road improve
ment is filling a large place in the public
mind nowadays, and anything in the
direction Of solving it Is sure Of earnest
and respectful attention. Something simi-
lar to the Ohio idea was suggested by al
English writer years ago, but nothing
We believe, ever came OF it.
