Seven priests went blowing rams' horns round the city for seven days. On the seventh day they went round it seven times. It must have been tiresome work, for Jericho was a large city several miles in circumference. But priests are always good "Walkers." After the last blowing of horns all the Jews shouted "Down Jericho, down Jericho!" This is Talmage's inspired account.
Talmage's distinction than that, like Elliott F. Shepard, he can be more kinds of a fool in a given time than any other man in his profession. That were indeed distinction enough for one man, well calculated to cause the world to stand agaze! Notoriety and fame have, in this age, become synonymous if not exactly the same.
It was a metaphor for a person much resorted to for counsel. John Talmage never called attention to himself, but the Arab chief must have counseled many, and well, to have taken a higher place than did this messenger of Christ at Amoy. By the time John Talmage's school days at Bound Brook were completed he had determined to prepare for college. Preparatory schools then were few and far away.
There seems to be nothing left that we may safely read except Watts' Hymns, Talmage's sermons and the pathetic story of Mary's Little Lamb a promising diet truly, upon which to rear intellectual titans.
But the charity commissioners wreaked a terrible revenge on the crown prince whose starving people they were feeding for thus insulting American manhood; they sent him a handsomely bound copy of Talmage's book!

Today he has read one of Talmage's sermons to us, and we have sung Gospel songs galore, in both Swedish and English, with myself as organist.
They feared that by the creation of this native and independent church court, the tie that bound them to the men and the work might be loosened; and when they saw there was no risk of that, they at once acquiesced. But it was Dr. Talmage's irresistible pleadings that won their hearts. The native church has grown.
It might be said of this pair, as truly as of the parents of John the Baptist, 'And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. Hand in hand they pursued their pilgrimage through this world, presenting an example of intelligent piety such as is not often seen. Talmage's death her husband received the summons to rejoin her on high.
Twemlow, echoed Millicent. 'Did I? he said, accepting the tribute with frank satisfaction. 'I used to collect once at Talmage's Church in Brooklyn you've heard Talmage over here of course.
