Away in Washington City, a Vic

old He was in poor health when he
started from Washington for Mexico
for a vacation and rest six weeks ago,
Few American clergymen ever en-
iOyed as wide popularity as Rev. T.
Dewitt Talmage. His method Of
treating the topics which he dis
cussed was homeIy and weIl-calcu-
lated to appeal to the many rather
than to the few His magnetism and
his habit OF appealing directly to his
hearers gave him hold upon their
hearts such as few preachers have
possessed.
