THE TALMAGEAN CONUNDRUM, T HE QUESTION whether Mr. Talmage is a humbug had better not be agitated. Mr. Talmage has claimed nothing. Everything he has has been given him as a result of good, honest work. He has the trick of words and the faculty of picture, His sermons are always . interesting if they are not great.
