CHRISTS WRITING.
TRACING IN THE DUST THE WORDS
HYPOCRISY AND FORGIVENESS.
The World Is Still Under the Divine Eye.
Christ’s Gentle Treatment of the Erring
Woman—An Illustration of the World’s
Injustice.
Brooklyn, Feb. 17.—Dr. Talmage
preached this morning in the Brook
lyn Tabernacle on the subject: ‘•The
Literature of the Dust.” After ex
plaining appropriate passages of Scrip
ture concei uing Christ ho gave out
the hymn:
Oh, could 1 speak the matchless worth,
Oh, could 1 sound th? glories fcrth
Which in my Saviour shine.
Text: John viii, 6: “Jesus stooped
down and wrote on the ground.”
