BuooiuLYN, Feb. 15.--Great audien ces again assembled at the service by Dr. T'almuage in the 11rooklyn Academy j of Music this lIoling aml also at The Christian Herald service in the New York Academy of Music inl the even ing. The remarkable interest in the latter continues without v-vidtence of abatement. At the service in New York last Sunday evenimg thero were many emotional episodes among the vast aulience, and to-night these were repeated, hundreds pledging themselves anew to Christian lives henceforth. Dr. Talmngo took for his text at the Brooklyn; Academy: "Faith without works is dead." ,1 aimies ii:2o. The Roman Catholic church has been charged with putting too mutch stress upon good works and not noiitgh upon faith. I charge Protestantisn with puttIng not enough stress upon good works, as conettwl with salvation. Good works will iiever save a mai, but, if a man have not good works Ie has no real faith and Io genii'te reliinoii. There are those u ho depeitil ipin the fact that thev are all right inside, while their condic i4 wrongoutside. Their religion, for tihe.- iniost part., is un(de iup of talk- vi;orlouls talk, filienlt. t.alk, boastful tal!i, perlet ual talk.

I There hcas got to be a new de'p:urture a religion. I do not say a eew relig~Ion, ri ), no; hut the old religion brou ghet to a now appliances. In our time we havc had the daguerrotype and the am brotype and the photograph, bul It is the same old sun, and thlies arts are only - new applianctes ol the old. sunlight. So this gloriotu (ospvI is ju t what we wait to pho tograph the inialge ol' xot oil oml soul, andti dagierreutVpe iU oil atiothi soul. Not a new Gospel, but the oh (ospel put to new work. In our tirn we have had the telegraphic inventior ando the telephonic invention ant the electric light invention; but they are, all the children of old electricity an eleinent that the philosophers hav4 a long while known much about. St this electric Gospel need to flash it! light on the eyes aid ears and souls ol Men, and becoine a telephonic iediun to make the deaf hear: a telegraphii inediu i to dart invitation and warn ing to all natiotis; an electric light t( illitinino the eastern and western hemi ispheres. Not a new gospel, but th( ol go.ipel doing a new work. Now you say, "rhat is a very beauti ftil theory, is it possible to tako one', rligion into all the avocations and bas iiwss of life?" Yes, and I will give yot some specimens. Medical doctors whc took their religion into every day life 1)r.
