He Announces the Decision to His
Congregation.
Dr. T. De Witt Talmage has again changed
his mind in regard to his resignation of the
pastorate of the Brooklyn Tabernacle. Be
fore he began the morning sermon or the
twenty-fifth anniversary of his pastorate he
told the congregation that he had few
words to say to it.
He then read the letter which the Board OF
Trustees had sent him asking him to recon-
slider his intention of resigning The letter
is as follows:
BROOKLYN, March 8. 1894
Rev. 7. D. Witt Talmage, d. d.:
DEAR PASTOR We hereby earnestly re-
quest that you will reconsider your intention
TO resign as pastor OF the Tabernacle. We
feel the life of the church depends upon
your remaining with US. The financial
exigency that arose from the necessity of
building three immense churches has been
removed. We have reduced the debt by sub
scriptions, and have made an arrangement
by which the remaining bonds against the
church will give us no moro perplexity.
We have property worth $780, 900 over
all our Indebtedness OH income will ex-
ceed our outgo, and with continued conf
dence In generous responses from our vast
congregations we believe the remaining
debt will in due time be extinguished and
that you will have nothing to interrupt your
work in the future. Again requesting that
you will remain with us, we are, yours, ETC.,
the Board OF Trustees.
LEONARD MOODY. President.
THEODORE D. DIMoN, Secretary.
He then read the following reply
BROOKLYN March 4, 1894
Dear Brethren ef the Board of Trustees of
the Brooklyn Tabernacle:
Your urgent letter is at hand. had fnlly
resolved to resign my position, not only be-
cause twenty-five years of Brooklyn pastorate
will soon have passed. but because of the
financial ENHANCEMENT resulting from
series OF disasters which would have crushed
any bank or insurance company. or worldly
institution. Now, by the blessing of God
upon your management, our church is put
out of all embarrassment, and / believe it
has seen its last crisis. Persuaded by what
l hear from all sides, and ,fter seeking .Di-
vine direction, Inow an hpre declare my
intention to remain your pastor. What l
have suffered at the anticipation of parting
from this noble and devoted flock, and from
expected removal from this beloved city, in
whose affairs have always been deeply in
terested, no one can estimate. And now
with more faith and high expectation than
ever had at any previous point in my minis
try, join you in new campaign for God
and the worlds betterment. Yours, etc.,
T. DE Writ TALMAaE.
After the applause which greeted this had
died away, Mr.. Talmage continued:
''In June will leave for an absence until
autumn in Australia and India, but my place
will be occupied by distinguished ministers
of the Gospel of America and Europe, SO
that the church will be as much thronged
during my absence as during my presence"

NATAL IN OPERA.


Last Night.
A large audience greeted Madame
Natali and her troupe last night, the oc
casion Of their first appearance here.
Liszts "Rhapsodie Hongroise Nc. II
was the opening number on the pro-
gramme. Jacques Friedberger rendered
this with force and expression. He is .
very good pianist, of fine technique, and
plays with telling.
Pierre Oelacso sang "Vulcan's Song"
His voice is magnificent bass, deep and
mellow. He received an encore.
Miss Emmy Miron sang the Pages
Aria from Les Hugenots," but in this
she was rather disappointing. She is not
unusually graceful, and though her voice
is good, it is not we'll controlled
VIM. stephens rendered the Romance
from "Mignon." He has probably the
sweetest voice in the combination, q
tenor of rare quality. He WAS encored
and responded with You'll Remember
Me-"
Madame Natali sang by special request
"The Last Rose Of summer" Size
has fine soprano voice and manages =
very we'll, but her maneriSms detract
from it. She was recalled and sang
"Suwanee River" This was delightfully."-
rendered to the manifest pleasure of the
audience.
William Mertens sang the Toreader's
song from Carmen" His voice Is an ex
cellent baritone of unusual compass and
under fine control. He very deservedly
was encored.
Piano soil, a nocturne from Chopin
and polonaise from List completed the
first part Of the programme.
AS part second three acts from "Il Tro
vatore," one of Verdi's favortes, was
rendered. The stage accessories were
not very good, but it was very well pre-
sented. Madam Natal is not so good an
actress as she is a singer. She is not a
graceful emotiCniat, or 'ingenue," If you
please. The best singing in Trovatore
was done by Stephens. Miss Miron did
better In the opera than she did in the
solo. On the whole the three acts were
very we'll sung.
The troupe is much above the average
combination that tours the provinces.
