First Presbyterian church of Washing

Its newly installed pastor, is every Sun

People all over the country are Won
dering whether DR.. Talmage, in NOV

changing his Brooklyn residence for a
house in Washington, has actually d.
vorced himself from all connection with
the east DR.. Talmage was recently in
terviewed on this subject by 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 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 paper in America that
Yields a more potential influence for
good than The Christian Herald, with
circulation of nearly two hundred thou
sand copies weekly. Nothing but death
shall separate me from it. DIR. Klopsch,
its proprietor, is man 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 premium
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 So.
Hereafter let no home in America BIO
without library.
I asked DR.. Talmage whether he could
recommend the library to people who
contemplated securing it, and he said
unhesitatingly, Il know every book.
They were carefully and thoughtfully
PREF ared, either specially written or
compiled by most eminent literary men,
and there is not a weakling among
Them"
"How are the people to secure this
great library, and this wonderful paper
of yours?"
Simply by sending So to The Chris
tian Herald at Sss to 1876 Bible House,
New York City, and by return mail they
will be delighted with the result. Ever
since my boyhood, I've had passion
for books; love them still-couldn't
live unless surrounded by them So
I'm something of Judge of good litera-
ture. And in my whole life have never
seen better selection in small compass
than these ten books which DR.. Klopsch
has had prepared for his subscribers.
It's perfect library of information,
entertainment and amusement, and is
the climax of the wonderfully enter
prising and far-seeing management
that has placed The Christian Herald
ahead of all competitors as Christian
home journal. Do you know" con-
tinued DR.. Talmage, chat this paper
has in less than six years expended
nearly 100000 in various beneficences
at home and abroad?"
Just then Miss Talmage came in to
call her distinguished father to dinner,
and the interview ended.
