ties which attended his ministry in
Brooklyn, DIR. Talmage made the an
nouncement that he would give up hold
ing regular pastorate and devote him
self to evangelical work. Later, how
ever, he reconsidered this intention and
accepted a call to the First Presbyteri-
al church of Washington,
While he preached in Washington to
large congregations, he failed to arouse
the enthusiasm which attended his min
istry in Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
This was probably attributable in a
large degree to the more conservative
character of the population, and may
have been due to some extent to the
fact that DIR. Talmage became more and
more absorbed in religious journalism.
After preaching in Washington for
four years DIR. Talmage on March 9th,
1899, resigned the pastorate of the First
Presbyterian church, giving as his rea.
son his desire to devote himself exclu-
sively to religious journalism and the
more general work in the cities" Since
that time his reputation has been some
what on the wane, for while his SER
mons in the newspapers have been
widely read, the personal element
which constituted so large a factor in
his success has been lacking.
CAME OF PREACHER STOCK.
DIR. Talmage came of family which
had a prediction for the ministry.
Four of his brothers received the hon
ored title of doctor of divinity. John
V. N. Talmage won fame as a mission
ary in China, and James and Goyn Tai
mage we're both preachers of ability
A fifth brother, Daniel Talmage, was O
merchant.
DIR, .Talmage was married three times
His first wife was Miss Avery, OF
Brooklyn. She bore him two children.

lii.h Pressure DAYS,

Men and women alike have to work
incessantly with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demandssof business, the wants OF the
family, the requirements of society,
more numerous. The first effect of the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly seen in q
weakened or debilitated condition OF
the nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration 1t il
clearly seen that what is needed is what
will sustain the system, give vigor and
tone to the nerves, and keep the,diges.
tive and assimilative functions healthy
and active. From personal knowledge
we can recommend Hood g Sarsaparills
for this purpose. 1t acts on all the vi
tai organs, builds up the whole system
and fits men and women for these high
pressure days.

SKETCH OF REV. DIR. TA1MAaE.

With perhaps the single exception Of
Henry Ward Beecher, Mr.. Tslmage had
a more widespread reputation than any
other American preacher of the gospel,
says the New York Times. For over
forty years he has been conspicuous
figure in the religious life of America
Even during Beecher's life he held
with that eminent divine an almost
equal place as a pulpit orator, and since
Beecher's death no other preacher has
had a popularity with religious audi
ences comparable to his. His fame was
not confined to America. He preached
with great success in England, and his
sermons have been translated into ma
NY languages. During the greater part
of his career he added to the circle of
his influence by writing sermons espe-
cially for the newspapers throughout
the country, and the last few years of
his life have been devoted exclusively
to this work.
DR.. Talmage was born in Bound
Brook, N. j., January 7, 1882. His ed
ucation was obtained at the University
of New York. On graduating from
this university in 1858 he read law for
some time, but concluding that Law
was not his vocation he decided to en-
ter the ministry. He studied theology
at the New Brunswick Theological
seminary. Completing his course be
preached for period in Belleville, N.
j., and Syracuse, N. Y. After two
years pastorate in Syracuse he went tC
Philadelphia and became the pastor o.
the Second Reformed Dutch church o.
: that city. 1t was while he was thu
pastor of this church that he laid thu
Foundation of his great reputation al
an exhorter.
When he took charge of it the eSecont
Reformed Dutch church was an insti
!, tuition OF little influence. He put new
life into it and drew a crowd almos
from the start. He attracted genera
attention in the Quaker City by hi
sensational methods. BY many he wa
declared q pulpit clown and mounte
bank, but despite detraction his con
gregation continued to grow in size IN
til the church was inadequate for it
accommodation. Overtures soon cam
to him from congregations of create
wealth and influence than that owe
which he presided in Philadelphia, an
he was finally persuaded to accept
call rendered to him by the Centrl
Presbyterian church of Brooklyn.
!. Apparently this offer did not hol
forth the promise of offers which he ha
received from Chicago and San Fral
cisco, for the reason that the Centr
Presbyterian church was at that tin
rent with dissensions, but for some re
4 son it appealed to him with great
force. In Brooklyn he continued Il
methods of preaching which had attraC
cd attention to him in Philadelphia, al
with much larger success.
An illustration of these method
which provoked criticism in some qua
d. ters which bordered on the vtuper
~ w. tive, is found in the press reports
at the day. It is given as a fair sample
O. his sensationalism. One Sunday NOR
is ing when the time came for him to d
liver his sermon, he walked to the e
