DE WITT TALMAGE—HIS LIFE AND WORK co-worker and friend, Dr. Louis Klopsch, these sermons became the spiritualfood of tens of thousands of the unchurched and the spiritual help and comfortof thousands of Gods people. HIS PASSION FOR. THE CROSS All of Dr. Talmages preaching centered about the Cross. If he had anypassion it was a passion for the Cross of Christ. He was a word painter,excelling all others in the art, but he always painted the Cross. He was anorator, excelled by but few, but his oratory always pushed the Cross to thefront. The whole ministry of Dr. Talmage is an inspiration. It tells us thatmen listen sharpest to the note that comes straightest from the Cross of theRedeemer. If any man thinks that Calvary and its Gospel are not sufficient toattract and to hold the attention of men I would point him to the ministry ofT. DeWitt Talmage. He preached the old message and men listened.
