Shortened Lives and a Cheerful Goodbye to 1893
Rev Dr Talmage in Brooklyn Tabernacle on December 31 1893 preaches on the blessings of an abbreviated earthly existence. He argues life should end sooner to avoid moral danger, cautions against long grieving, and uses biblical and historical examples to urge focusing on heaven. He recounts a Christmas harbor rescue tale and ends with hope of eternal harbor and heaven.

A patchwork of humorous snippets features a colonel recalling a grazing bullet, a scolding about Scotland and grouse, playful price tag banter, a comic thief before a judge, Mrs Snagg's sculpted compliment, and tarot-like ads for medicines and salve. The jumbled lines resemble a 19th or early 20th century newspaper filler.
