TALMAGE'S ULTiMATUM.

He Has Had Enough of Working for a
No More of 1t.
New YORK, May II. 1t is reported
that at meeting of the trustees of
DR.. Talmage's tabernacle Sunday
night the pastor gave the officers Of
the church his ultimatum. 1t was
that he would not resume charge of
the church until $3.50, 900 in cash had
been raised for a new building and
site He declared that he would never
undertake to raise another church
debt or preach in church that was
not clear of all incum brances.
DR. Talmage said that he feared his
days of pastoral work were over, it is
reported, and insisted that he had no
plans beyond completing his lecture
tour around the world and then MAX
ing Brooklyn his home.
1t was found that the insurance
money and the sale of the land where
the church stood would clear the orr
ganization of debt but leave it without
resources with which to erect another
structure. DR.. Talmage declared he
would take no part or interest in any
plan unless the sum of $3.50, 900 was in
bank before any work was done.
