Talmage and the Presbyterian Church.
New York, Dec. 9th.—Rev. Mr. Talmage on Sunday, before commencing his sermon, made answer to the proposal of the Trustees that the Tabernacle congregation go out of the Presbyterian denomination. He reviewed the proceedings in his recent trial, and said: "It is only a question how much annoyance and nagging the great Presbyterian denomination will allow my enemies to carry on toward me without official condemnation. All that I ask is that a Synod of long standing, or the General Assembly of the United States, call off these pursuers. If the Presbyterian Church wants us they can have us. If they don't, let them say so, and we will all go together. This church was built for me to preach in, and I shall preach till God shall tell me to stop."
