this meets Mrs. BANDS wishes. Hon.
]. w. Farris, the president OF the
Bland Monument association, has
written to Mrs. Bland, who is now at

The statue is a splendid piece OF
work, made of silver bronze. 1t is
about six feet high, and will be
mounted on a six-foot pedestal, and
the whole will be mounted on a stone
foundation perhaps four feet high.
This will make the monument stand

a characteristic attitude.
On one side of the pedestal is:

On the other side is the following

calling which two of his u~ncles, .
brother-in-law and three brothers
were following, and in later years DR..
Talmage was gratified to see his WI
Sol Frank enter the ministry and he il
at the present time filling a sue
cessful pastorate at Chicago. MIR.
Talmage completed his theological
training at the New Brunswick theo-
logical seminary in 1856.
He became pastor Of the Reformed
Dutch church in Belleville, N. j.
Later he went to Syracuse, and while
holding a p~astorate there he married
his first wife, Miss Avery, of Brook
lyn. Soon after he went to Philadel-
phia as pastor of the Second Reformed
Dutch church, where he remained
seven years. While in Philadelphia
DR.. Talmage received three calls at
once, to Chicago, San Francisco and
Brooklyn. His fame as pulpit orator
had spread wide, and power to attract
worshipers to his church brought de-
mands for his services from many
places. 1t was in 1869 that he accept
ed the call to the Central Presbyterian
church of Brooklyn, N. Y.
DR.. Talmage preached in h old
church in Brooklyn for Is months and
then the congregation and member
ship outgrew the sanctuary. The or
ganization therefore decided to build
the first Brooklyn tabernacle. 1t waS
in the form of a horseshoe and in
closed half an acre. 1t was burned
in 1872, after standing two years. DUR
ing which time the 3,40o seats proving
inadequate the capacity of the build
ing was increased 500 more. Work was
at once begun on a new tabernacle,
which was dedicated February %, 1874,
with seats for 5000 persons. 1t was
then the largest Protestant church in
America. After the church edifce had
burned for the third time, in 1889, DR..
Talmage resigned his p~astorate Of
25 years, not asking his congregation
to build a fourth time. In 1894 he ac-
cepted a call to the pastorate of the
First Presbyterian church in Washing
ton, d. c., and had made his home in
that city up to the time of his death.
DR.. Talmage's first wife was
drowned in the Schuylkill river during
his Philadelphia pastorate, and two
years later he married again, his wife
being Miss Susan c. Whittemore, of
Brooklyn, by whom he had several chill
dren. Two children, a boy and girl.
were born to him of his first marriage.
With the impressive funeral services
in the Church of the Covenant at
Washington and the interment of the
remains in the family plot at Brook
Ign, passes from the activities of the
earth life one of the greatest factors
in the religious forces of the past
century, but his words and his deeds
live on. Like the ripples spreading out
in Overwhelming circle, the influence
on the lives of the thousands who
heard and read his will con-
tinue and Talmage, the great preacher,
though dead, will continue to speak.
