Lest I Build On Another Man's Foundation Rev Talmage Sermon
Reverend Dr. Talmage urges Christians to quit borrowing from others churches and to venture outside fortress churches to evangelize the world. He likens Christian work to an army marching beyond fortifications, cites Paul’s mission to unreached cities, warns against skepticism, and calls for practical faith that reaches skeptics with love rather than doctrine.

Three Sessions shaped by silver tariff and finance
The fifty third Congress, ending March 4 1895, was defined by three issues: silver, tariff, and finance. It repealed the silver purchase provision, faced tariff reforms from the Wilson and Jones Gorman bills, and debated bonds to replenish the gold reserve while resisting administration recommendations. The debates and votes dominated both houses, with multiple bills defeated and a presidential message pushed for financial relief through bond issuance.
