HIS WORDS REACHED MILLIONS

Had Two Congregations, One Before Him,
the Other Through the Press.
Or. Talmage was without doubt the
most popular preacher America has
produced. When he had church, his
congregations were as enormous as
those of Henry Ward Beecher. and he
at the same time addressed another
congregation of millions through the
newspapers. When he was preaching
IN Brooklyn. there was no necessity of
Il stranger asking where DIR. Talmage
church was; all he had TO do was to
follow the crowd. For many years his
sermons were preached both from the
pulpit and through the newspapers,
but after he gave up his pulpit in
Washington the great divine spoke to
his fiock wholly through the public
press, aud there was hardly town
in the United States where his sermon
in the daily or weekly newspaper was
not eagerly awaited by scores of pro-
pie. IL is probably no eXaggeration to
state that his sermon was read each
week by several millions of people. 1t
appeared in at least six langua geS, and
the combined circulations of the news
papers printing his sermons were esti-
mated at 30,0O0,o00.
Few men were capable of doing as
much literary work in day as the
famous preacher. When nearing three
score and ten he often dictated as
many as 10000 words in day. and
on many occasions he has worn out
two or three stenographers during that
time. His sermons We're all first
preached to a stenographer. and when
he was in the throes of composition he
walked tirelessly up and down his
study preaching and gestulating ex-
actly as he did later in the pulpit, and
almost with as great rapidity. Each
week he read thoroughly between fifty
and one hundred papers, wrote the edi-
torials for his religious weekly. The
Christian Herald; dictated sermons,
correspondence. letters and books, saw
scores of friends, business callers. adj
