"It simply cannot be explained." "Not many wise, not many mighty are called." Every man his creeds. "Lest I be charged with stealing my own sermons."](https://images.nypl.org/index.php?id=5040627&t=b)

![[Page 19, clockwise from upper left:] "Although I was born in New Jersey." "Get thee behind me, Satan." "How is one to get away with a mountain?" "Jefferson beat Aaron Burr by only one vote."

"I look upon every newspaper man as my friend."](https://images.nypl.org/index.php?id=5040629&t=b)
![[Page 20, clockwise from upper left:] 'Labor has a sad story to tell." The doctor makes a mem. of the point. Dr. Talmage discusses club life. "Good-day," said Dr. Talmage."
