J. V. N. TALMAGE, D.D..

My acquaintance with Dr. Talmage began at a very early period.

I remember the surprise with which I heard the late Dr. Swanson, of London, say from his own observation during ten years of the closest intercourse at Amoy, that Dr. Talmage was equally distinguished and efficient in every part of the missionary's work, whether in preaching the Word, or translating the Scriptures, or creating a Christian literature, or training native workers.

But the rebuff did not dishearten Dr. Talmage.

Dr. Talmage always kept himself in touch with the Church at home by correspondence or by personal intercourse.

Dr. Talmage was a Christian and a Christian gentleman everywhere and always.
