maincd loyal to the old church even
though now surrounded largely by
business houses. A marvellous change,
however, has suddenly come over this
time-honored landmark, and to-day the
First Presbyterian church of Washing
ton, owing to the wondrous e%loquence OF
Ats newly installed pastor, is every Sun
day besiegcd by m%ultitudes, many OF
whom stand there frequently hours in
advance of the opening Of the service
in hopes of being able to wedge their
way in somehow or other, and to listen
ito the matchless e%loquence of Ameri-

People al! over the country are Won
dering whether DIR. Talmage, in NOV
ing to the National Capital, and In ex-
changing his Brooklyn residence for a
house in Washington, has actually d.
vorced himself from all connection with
the east. DR.. Tallnage was recently In
terviewed on this subject by a reporter
of this paper, and the reverend gentle
man said that as long as his editorial
chair had two legs in New York and
two legs in Washington he could never
be considered as having severed all his
connections with the metropolis. "The
Christian Herald" he said, with Its
wide circulation, is a tremendous power
for good" and as long as the Lord gave
him health and strength he would write
for that paper-in fact, he would be in
his editorial chair at the Bible House
more frequently now than ever. Con-
tinuing, the genial preacher said:
There is no pcper in America that
Yields a more potential influence for
good than The Christian Herald. with a
circulation of nearly two hundred thou
sand copies weekly. Nothing but death
shall separate me from it. DR.. Klopsch,
it's proprietor, is a nan of extraordinary
enterprise. This year besides printing
The Christian Herald every week in
beautiful colors, a veritable %enchant-
ment for the eye, he offers as a premium
a complete library, consisting OF ten
splendid volumes, full of interest and
full of entertainment, with an elegant
bookcase, delivered free of all expense.
together with the paper itself, fifty-two
times, for the moderate sum of 50.
Hereafter let no home in America be

"How are the people to secure this
great library, and this wonderful paper
of yours?"
Simply by sending So to The Chris

New York City, and by return mail they
Will be delighted with the result. Ever
since my boyhood, I've had a passion
for books; I love them still-couldn't
live unless surrounded by them. So
I'm something of a judge of good litera-
ture. And in my whole life l have never
seen a better selection in small compass
than these ten books which DR.. Klopsch
has had prepared for his subscribers.
It's q perfect library Of information,
entertainment and amusement, and is
the climax of the wonderfully enter
prising and, fa%r-seeing management
that has placed The Christian Herald
;ahead, of all competitors as a Christian
home journal. Do you know" con-

has in less than six years expended
nearly 500, 900 in various beneficences
at home and abroad?"

call her disting uished father to dinner.
