This Is the Rov. T. DoWItt Talmngo , who stands before tbo people of the Unltnd States In as many different lights ns tbero aio varia tions of the human mind. To many , ho is sincere , godly and genuine. To others , ho appears false , sacrlllgcous and n humbug. If tlio former , ho Is n most wonderful npostlo ; If the latter , ho Is certainly n most successful humbug , and In either case ho li by fnr the most Interesting character In the American pulpit today. I called upon him nt his homo In Brooklyn the other day , nnd had three hours of most Interesting conversation with him. I went with him over his great tabor- noclo and chatted wKh hlu upon many sub jects. Tlio Tnlnui/0 Homo. Dr. Talmago lives in n blp four-story.brown atone house on tbo corner of South Oxford nnd Calvert streets , Brooklyn. It Is In u peed neighborhood and tbo house Is perhaps tbo finest In the block. Passing up broad , brown stone stops , you enter n wide hall , the lloorof which is porcolain-tllod In blue and yellow. A black walnut staircase leads from the right of this hall to the second story , and nt the loft , Just opposite this , Is tbo entrance to the parlor. This panor Is about twonty- llvo foot 'ong , and there Is another smaller pallor separated from it by folding doors , nt the back. It contains ns many curiosities ns n museum. Beautiful pictures hang upon the .valls and nn old master In oils repre senting Christ casting out devils hangs Just nt the loft of the entrance. The floors nro covered with Turkish nnd Persian ruga , which Dr. Talmago picked up at Damascus n" the time bo made the tour through the Holy Lund , nnd there nro swords from Cairo , tables from Constantinople , rare busts from Ithly , nnd articles of vcrtu and curios from nil parts of the world. On ouo wall there Is a banner of silk which n Chliioso missionary sent to Dr. Talmago , and on n stand below It Is n ploco of elegant old lacquer from Japan. There nro baskets from Alaska , pieces of stone from tbo Acropolis , sand from thobasoof tho'Pyramlds , a chunk of stonp from B.ialbcc , nnd pretty things from every where. The rest of the house corresponds to the parlors , and every article In it seems to have n history. It is in this that parlor Dr. Talmngo re ceives bis visitors. He is beslecod with call ers , and though ho receives almost ovorvono , ho has to guard his privacy. His workshop is at the top of the houso. It Is n big room furnished in the plainest mnnnor nnd'pncked full of books. There nro books on the tables , In the and the floor. cases on . Magazines are scattered here und there , and the tables which take up different ports of the room nro littered with manuscripts , newspaper clip pings nnd papers. Not a half dozen men got into this don during tbo year. Dr. Tnlmogo restricts Its occupants to himself and bis private - vato secretary. The servants are not permit ted to clean it , nnd at long Intervals onlv is Mrs.Tnlmago allowed In with her dust brush There uro no fancy books lu this library , and tbo newest copies are torn nnd mutilated In using a quotation Dr. Talmago tears out the paragraphs to which bo refers nnd pastes them into his manuscripts to save tbo tlmo of copy ing them. Ho does the greater part of his work by dictation. Ho dictates readily nnd Homo of his best writings nro taken down bv nn amanuensis nt the rnto of ISO words nor * minute. How Ho I.ookn niul Tnlks. It was in the that parlors Dr. Tulmngo ro- colvod mo , nnd 1 noted that the stop with which ho entered was llrm nnd springy. Ho will bo M ) years old in January next , but his hair s still brown , his dark rosy fnco shows that bis blood is full of iron , nnd ho says bo can oat his three squnro meals every day and enjoy them. Ho Is n big man nnd a strong one. Ho U , I Judge , nbout 5 fcot 11 Inches , and bo weighs about ITU pounds. His broad shoulders bavo n slight stoop but they nro ivoll padded with mus cular llesh , and his arms look as though they could wield an ax as well as Gladstone - stone a. Ho was dressed In plain business clothes andI | noted , as nn hour or so later -wo walked toward tbo Tnbornaclo. that tbo high hat that ho were was n derby , and its num ber , I Judge , was about b . Doctor Ualinaco converses ns well as ho preaches. His talk with inn was lull of bright savings. It was perfectly unconventional nnd simple Itcovoreua pi oat variety of subjects and I only give n tusto of Its subitnnco. PaliiMInu and iho , Io\vs. Referring to the Jewish troubles In Russia. I asked Doctoi Talmngo if bo did not think that the Jews would LT entually diift back to Palestine. Ho replied : A"l don't think the prosperous Jews of 0 morlea or En rene ought to go back to Pal- eitlnu. Our Jewish cltl/ons hero have all the comfort * of civilization. In Palestine they would find the land nnd the people , so old In years , newer than thu youngest narts of our western frontier. Th5 land offers no flold for tholr undoubted ability , and thov Svould bo surrounded oy discomfort anil misery. The future of Palestine , It seems to me , Is not destined to come from tbo Jews. It Is n Hold for the work of nil nations , and I believe that all the peoples ples of the earth lira to unite In its improve , mont. 'Ibo country is ton largo extent , n desert now. The lands between Jerusalem mul tbo \ alloy of the Jordan nro as barren ns the plains of Colorado , and In climbing up the bills of Judea you pass through a country where only the spariost of vogo- tntlon Is soon on the hillsides , and where the crop Is made up of rocks , Those hills , however - over , show ovliionoos that the land was once ft garden. The hills are terraced , and you nee signs of them having boon carefully cul tivated In past npes. I believe It will bocon-o - a garden ngniu. God's ' favorlto llguro Is the circle , and Palestine Is moving In a circle back to Its old beauties. Tboso rooks which laid upon the hills nbovo the Plains of bhnron where the Philistines lived nro lime- Btouo. This stouo Is disintegrating , nnd becoming - coming skeletonized. The lirao Is sinking into tbo soil nnd Palestine Is Rotting by the nqtlon of its climate what our farmers spend great sums for to revivify tholr lands. The climate of Palestine Is changing , tbo rainfall is Increasing , and at no distant dnto the and will Blossom like thu rose. As It Is , many of the Jews in the Holy Land nro turn- jug tholr attention to agriculture. They have experimental farms nnd they are rals- Ink' Ono crops , The Plains of Sharon are today as furtllo as nny part of the state of Now York , and the time will come when the barren hillsides of Judon will produce llko our rich luuds of Wostchestor county , or llko thu rich valleys nbout Lancaster , Pennsyl vania , or those which border on the Sclota In Ohio. " "Will Jerusalem over become n great city I" I asked. "Yoa , " replied Dr. Talmapo , "H has grown rapidly during tbo tmn few years , and It 1s nlrondjr fulfilling the saying ol the prophet thkt It will ( proud out beyond the -walls nud will cover oven tbo Place of thu Ashes. I'ntll now ttio commentators of the icrlpturos did not know how to interpret this para- jjarnjili. There was no evidence/ any ashes About .lonmilem , nnd they did not know what It mout , In the excavation , however , for | \ tlin now building1 ! ouuldo in tlio now part o the town , osht * un > bolnR turned up by tlio digging for every foundation.

Jurutnlom , In fnct , Is havlnc qulto real uitntc boom. The lands about tlio city hnvc Increased In value and thcro ha been much building. " Jlil .Vnt Attempt tn liny Calvary. "How about Calvary , nnd Hint story thn you nttouipttfd to buy It of the Turks ! " "Thoro U no truth hi that , " replied Dr Tnlinniro. " 1 ho very Idea would bavo boot absurd. The Mohnmtiioluns will not sol ttiolr lands to foreigners , tnd there Is a Mo hammotan cemetery on tlio odpo of the spo wburo Christ was crucified , nnd you see I would bavu been Impossible for mo to have purclmied It bud I wished to do so. As to tbaV spot being tlio place Of thu crucifixion hnwovur , 1 have not thu slightest doubt Mho mornlnc I arrived In Jerusalem 1 went up o the top of tbo houio In wnloh I wus stopping and took a look at tlio Holy City. I had the Mount of Olives pointed out to mo and Mount Mnrlah , nnd without nny ono tolling mo , 1 llxcd upon this spot ns the plnco of crucifixion. Why , It corresponds exactly with iho descriptions of the blblo. It Is tbo perfect siiapo of u great skull , both In- stdo and outside , nnd there Is a spot on Hi top Just largo enough for three crossoi. It is without the walla , and the blblo says that Jesus wiw taken o-itsidi1 of thu walls to bo crucified. His known that this was the place of execution of malefactors for years prior to this time , and It would be tbo nat ural place for the crucifixion. Besides li was on the edge of tbo main road leading out of Jerusalem , and you rmnotnber that the blblo suy.s that the people wagged their ho.ids at him as they wont along. The spot which has been ni-cdpted ns the place of cru- cltlxlon and over which the church of tbo Holy Kcphulchro Is built Is In tbo middle of tbo city , and It must have always been a densely populated spot. " Or. Talmimi ! nml Ilia Ml'e of CliriHt. "By the way , doctor , dlu you wrlto much of your'Life of ChrUt'while you were in -1'ulcstlnof" "Yos , " was tbo reply. "I worked at It as bard as you worked there during your trip ns a newspaper correspondent. 1 found the Inspir.itiou of my surroundings conducive tc the work and I rewrote much that I bad written boforo. I took my description of places from llfo , nnd I found It enabled mo to lunlto It n belter book. " " 1'lonso toll mo nbout the book , doctor Where did you get the title and is It a suc cess I" "Tbo story of the title , " replied Dr. Tal- inage , "is a curious ono. I souirbt for a long time for a title but could Ilnd none. 'The Lifo of Christ , ' was too hnoknoyed. It bad been used a number of times , nnd I wanted something now. For weeks I cudgeled my brains in vain. 1 was thinking of It when I traveled in tbo west , and one day n * I sat in the train appro.iching Alliunco , O. , llko n flush c.itiio to mo tbo words , 'From Manger to Throne. ' Tvo got it at last , ' said I to myself , and for fear I might lese it , I took out my note boon nnd wrote It down. As to tbo success of the wont , It promises to bo more successful than anything I have over written. Four hundred thousand copies bavo boon subscribed for , and two hundred and fifty thousand copies have been deliv ered and paid for. This Is n great many con sidering tbo fact that the book costs from ? 4 to 0 per copy I think thcro Is no doubt but that tbo circulation will roach 1,000,000. " "Toll me something of your other books , " said I. "I have written for years , " ' said Dr. Tal- mane , "nnd tbo public has alwnvs treated mo well.Vo were counting up the ether day tno books that have been published over my name as author , and wo flnd there are fifty of ttiom , and they are translated Into nearly all tno languages of Europo.l pot a copy of a Scandinavian translation of ono of my books today. Of course I can't road It , but I know it Is niino from my nauio as author on the tltlo page. Of th'oso different books , I huvo myself published fifteen and have gotten receipts from them. The ot nor tnirty-llvo have been plratodjin ono way or another. " Money Making mid tlio Pulpit. "Dr. Talmago , " said I , "you'vo boon called a money-making preacher. Uoyou think the making of money Is incompatible with your profession ? " "If the making of money were the chief end of tbo profession I would say yea , " replied - plied Ur. Talmago. "And If It were not en tirely subordinate and apart from It , I would also say yos. Hut when the making of money cornos entirely from work that does not con flict with the duties of the pulpit , and that In fact aids on the work of the ptofcasion , I would say no. During my wnolo life I have miulo mv preaching and my church the supreme premo end of my work. I have never made a dollar at the expense of my congregational labors , and I have never tried to make money for monoy's ' sake. Tbo opportunities anil the work have oeon forced upon mo. I have ac cepted them , benvuso in doing so I believe that I nm at the same time able to do good. I refiuo hundreds of offers for literary work and lectures because I nave not the time to glvo to them , and if , as is often so , my price * lor such things are called high , they art forced upon no one and they nro llxcd In gen eral not by mo , but bv bureaus and ngonts through whom such business Is done for me. If i would , I could I bollovo have such en gagements ns would not mo $1,000 a day tlio year through , and I have now Ivlng on my study table aa offer of § 150,000 for a series 01 lectures. 1 never lecture for less than ? : > 00 orf 1,000 anight , nnd the latter ls-mv regular price for tbo larger cities. When I charged 51.000 for going to Chicago not long ago to lecture , tbo fact was made n subject of comment by sorao of the newspapers , who said that my action was u mercenary ono. Why , I cannot seo. 1 did not ask Chicago to call mo to lecture , and Iho receipts of the lecture , which was bold In the Auditorium , were , 1 understand , ) ,000 In excess of the amount paid mo. I got num bers of requests from small places oftormg mo f. > 00 a night to lecture , and 1 nave today received such offers from Knoxvlllo ami Memphis. Aa It is I can't accept many of those engagements , though I try to mnko one or two trips a your , Last year I did not go on account of the building of the Tnbornnclo , but this summer I traveled through twenty- throe states , coveted 20,000 miles and shook hands with at least 15,000 pooplo. " Ho Tallin of UN AVoi-lc. "How do you do such an nninunt of work , doctor ! Plonso tell mo something of your weeKly labors. " "My weeks vary so that I can hardly do that , " was the reply. "I am engaged nearly every day to speak , lecture or preach some- whore. I'm editor ot the Christian Herald and wrlto ihroo columns n week for It. I wrlto on article a week for the Observer and every month I prepare an article for the Ladles' Homo Journal entitled , 'Under my Study Lamp. ' Then I Imvo my Friday night talks , my regular sermon , my calls and my nail , which comes from nil parts of the world. " "How do you pot your rest I" " 1 save tlmo In every way possible. I use stenographers In my work and dictate read- ly nnd rapidly. I find my chief roat In a change of work nnd conversation at ndln- icr party , for Instance , gives mo now llfo nnd vigor , I remember the Now England dinner vhen Henry ( Jrady made bis great speech. I sat between bin ; nnd General Sherman nnd ho talk that night was one of the ploasnnt- cst episodoa of my life. It was nn effer vescence nllxlr to my tlrod brainnnd I itroso from the table wonderfully refreshed. " I'alniu t ! on Oonoi-nl W. T. Sherman The con vernation here took a shoot Into rom- nhconco , und Dr. Tulmngo spoke of Don- ural Sherman. Said bo : " 1 noted your Interview with John Sher man of a week or so ago. You represent him rightly. The world aoes not know what a social nnd lovable side there Is to bis libnrac- ler and the virtues of CiononU Sherman are not appreciated ns they should bo. I bad a close friendship with him ana I have many letters from him. His bluffness mid rugged good nature blinded people to bis extraordi nary literary ability. His letters were mod uli of coed diction. Even bis speeches , though bo spoke extemporaneously and some times haltingly , were well worded , and there was no more delightful talker In private. I rmnombor a night I spent with him In St. LouU , General Sherman was not well uuough to attend my lecture , but he aont mo note asking ma to come to his homo alter I was through. I dlu so and wo spent a long ayoulug together. During this time bo gave rue Ideas of the war that I never bad Doforo. Ho went over the whole jf It , criticising this man nnd that nid giving me much unwritten history. Ho jlterod tilings which , had they boon given to in unscrupulous person , would have fnr- ilsbed big newspaper mutations ana would have brought high prices In the literary newspaper markets. Ho was a most lovable man In hl family relations and bo had n gentle side to his character which was very charming. " World Ui-oivliiK Hotter. "Dr. Talmngc , " said I , "don't you think the world grows worse as It grows oldorl" "No , " replied the preacher , "I cio not. 1 think the world Is growing bettor Instead of growing worse , nna I nm In nil things rather nn optimist than n pessimist. I often hear the mechanical Inventions , tlio reapers , tlio mowers , the electric wires , the steam on- ulno , etc. , spoken of nn the great wonders of modern times , The groato.it marvel to mo of modern times is the true Christian spirit which grows more from dny to day. Our greatest wonders nro our good men nnd good women. In the ages of the past , there wn ono great philanthropist In half n do/.un can turlcs nnd for the next tun or twenty goncru tlons bo was the wonder of history. The people placed n halo around bis head nm they worshipped him nnd wondered at him Now wo have u gioat philanthropist In every town and a dozen In every city. It took 501 year * to produce n George I'o.ibody , nnd Peter Coopciould bnvo boon nn Impossl blllty In nny other ngo than ours. Tha man's wnric is the wonder of modern times Ills Institution has mothered n thousnnc other Institutions. From his oxnmPlo bnvo sprung hundreds of free libraries , hospitals nnd schools nnd the work of charity grows In nn over Increasing ratio as the times go on. " Our Wonderful Women "Look at the men nnd women of today,1 Dr. Talmago went on. "There has never boon such n generation. Tnko our women j n few yonrs iitro soft flesh , a slender waist , a polite languor , n do nothing air , were the elements of tbo so called beautiful woman Now our girls nrido themselves on Doing strong. The roses of health bloom In tuoli cheeks. They stand llrm upon their foot am swing their arms from the shoulder They have strong frames nnd healthy , wei trained minds. They nro the apostles ol physical culture nnd every town has Its woman's gymnasium. It is the same wltl our young men. Wo are developing n stronger race nnd n bettor rnco. This Is moutnll } nnd physically. Thn old saying that thuro U no royal road to learning Is n thing of the past. Our children bavo such n road and it Is an asphalt pavement com pared with the rough corduroy of my child hood. When I was n boy children had to bo whipped to make them go school. Now tbo.v cry if they can't go. I spent mr school days In a country school. Wo bad 100 cnildron in ono room and \\o sat on rough benches so high that our fcot dangled _ six Inches nbovo the floor. The rod was not spared and the rule was ono of terror rnthor than kindness. 1 remember tbo school was always opened with prnyor. Tbo teacher prayed. Ho bold nis hands with his lingers spread wideapartovor his eves us bo praytd nnd kept his eyes on the school to ace that the scholars preserved n decent reverence - orenco and attention. When ho saw ono of us doing otherwise bo dropped his hand , suspended his prayer nnd came down anil thrashed the offender , and then wont back mid finished the prayer. Wo had 110 music but the crying of the cuidron when whipped. We had no drawing and our studies worn of tbo most arbitrary Kind , forced out of us lu the most arbitrary way. " Free Tliou > lit and Cln-lstiaiiitv. "How nbout religion and free thought , doctor , " said I. "Tho churches soom'to bo growing more liberal every year , infidelity is growing in nil religions tbo world over nnd the tendency seems to bo to the breaking down of nil faith. " "You nro right In saying that the churches are becoming more liberal , " replied Dr. Tal- mage. "Wo nrd getting closer and closer to- getner every year , and religion is bocomiuir moro and moro a religion of sympathy and kindness.Vo have thousands of real Chris tians now who hardly know they nro Chris tians. They cannot bo called Intellectual Christians , and the purely intellectual Chris tian , the Christian of reason rather than faith , is of little account In the world any how. Ho is nn iceberg and ho is of good neither to himself nor to anyone else , i'ou speak of the growing infidelity among tbo buliovors of ether rcligioiu the world over. The tendency of man when ho gives up the God of bis fathers is for a time to bollovo In no God whatever , and it is only after a time that ho comes around to study nnd believe in another religion. I bjliovo that any rel- glen is Bettor than no religion and I bullovo that the Christian religion is dostlned to conquer the world. People nro surprised that tbo church does not advance moro rapidly. They forgot that the world has Just boon dis covered. Our hemisphere is but n few hun dreds of years old , und Columbus only dls- covered its shell. Asia and Africa have boon practically unknown to us until now and they ire still to a great extent undiscovered. It is the same with the world in other respects ns in Its geographical ones. Wo are Just bo- ginlng to know It and its po-tsiollltlos. Mod ern inventions are coming in to help us , and wo are now ready lor tha llrst time to bopln to work in earnest. "The railroad nnd the steamboat have boon Invented to carry us to our Holds , nnd the ihonograph has como in to do its share in the nissiotmry work of the future. I believe the ) hotiograph Is going to bo our greatest ircacbor. When the manager of tbo board of missions can say 'Send 300 .sermons to as nanv towns nnd cities of Japan' or 'Send 300 lectures to out-ol-tho-wuy places in China , und see that n phonographic translation of that bright discourse against Buddhism is sent out to India , ' you will see the possi bilities. "Then our missionary scholars can do their work surrounded by civilization nnd sup- lortoa by tho.bost of God's ozone. Now the climate nnd the hardships of lifo kill hun dreds. "Then wo can have a thousand men where wo have ono now. nnd ono sermon can travel from ono end of the country to the ether and preach Its mission to millions. Siory of ( JliulHtone nnd I oril Napier. "You say the world Is growing bottor. " Or. Talmago wont on. "I tell you , the world is hotter than you think. There are spots of tbo true CbrUtian feeling and spirit animat ing the darkest parts of our darKest contin ents. I remember an incident that happened not long ago when I was visiting tbo great English statesman , Mr. Gladstone. Wo were ntHnwurdon. It was Just after bis ilghilotu birthday , nud wo were out in his big park running together ulong tbo rond. Gladstone called It a promenade , but ho kept mo on the trot to keep up with him , nnd ho isKOd questions Just as fast as ho walked. Ho kept throwing sticks for his dog to run after und bring back to him , nnd ho would | ork out all sorts of questions. 'Do you see that line sycamore thorel' ho would say ; 'I venture to say that vou did not see any thing like that In the Holy Land , did .you ! ' At lust the conversation drifted into this very subject of which you are asking nnd Uladstono made the same remark that 1 bavo made to you , und Illustrated It with this story. Said ho : 'On this vary spot where wo are now walking , Lord Napier walked with mo shortly after his return from Africa , and as ho walked , ho told mo thu story of u soldlor who had had his leg broken In ono of the skirmishes and who was being carried back with tbo army towards homo. 'As wo wont on , ' said Lord Naplor , 'his log : ot worse nnd I saw that bo would die before 10 got Into the ship , His only chance of lalvatlon was Immediate rest nnd quiet. At this time we came to n rude tent lu which an old African woman lived. I besought her to tuko tbo man In and cnro for him nnd I offered her what must have seamed to her a very largo sum for such a service. She re- 'used to take the monov though I urged her to do so , and when i was In despair thinking she would not take care of the man , sbo ookod up at mo and said , 'whlto man , I don't want your money , I will not take your money. have enough. Hut , I will take care of this nan nnd do tbo best I can for him because , nnd bore sbo raised her bands towards thn ky 'I bollovo in tbo great God above us.1 Wo loft the man with her and bo recovered.1 \ \ hotliur this woman was n Christian or lot , I do not know,1 replied Dr. Talmago , 'or vhoro she got her Christianity , I do not enow. I only know that her spirit was a Christian one , and bad shone there brightly nmld tbo darkness of Africa , " L'nlmnco On Bontmtluiifil I'l-onoUliig. "Dr. Talmngo , you bavo boon accused of iolng n sensational preacher. Do you bo- love In sensational preaching ! " "If you call sensational preaching , " re plied tbo divine , "tho striving after striking ffeota , merely to astonUh the people or to roato n stir , U Is wrong , But If sensational > roaoblug Is the sensation adsing from the > res6ntatlon of truth , It Is right. Truth u Iways surprising , and rightly preached. It tight not to fall to create a sensation , The ppononts of such preaching are often len who are as heavy lu heir remark * as a load of bricks.
