'If we expect to succeed in life we
must make up our mind ti work
hard. We must m>t let it be our no?
tion o' a fine lady or gentleman to do
nothing. The idle life is a miserable
life: it i-3 bound to be so. God ha
promised many a blessing to indus?
try; He has promised none to indo?
lence. God Himself works, and He
wants His children to work.
"The second thing that tends di?
rectly to success in life is a distinct
aim. A man may run very hard in a
race: the perspiration may stream
from his brow, and every muscle bc
strained; but if he is not running in
a right direction, if he is running
away from the goal, .ill tv-, activity
will not help him. So industrious
habits are not sufficient, unless wc
have a distinct idea of what we are
aiming at. The world is full of pur?
poseless people, and such people come
to nothing.
"The third essential to success In
life is moral character, in Its various
elements of honesty, truthfulness,
steadiness, temperance. 'Honesty is
the best policy' is one of these
worldly maxims that express the ex?
perience of mankind. A small leak
will sink a great filip. One lal
string in a harp will turn its music
into discord. Any flaw in moral
character will sooner or later bring
disinter. * * * We may havo
other qualifications that go ti com?
mand success, buch as those we havo
noticed?industry aad a distinct aim
?but want of principle will render
them useless.
"The last essential to success in
life is religious hopefulness. Our in?
dustry, our purpose, our principles
may Le all that they ought to bc. yet
the -race is not always to the swift
nor tbe battle to the strong.1 * * *
Christian faith keeps men in good
heart amid many discouragements.
Even if a man or woman becomes
rich or clever, and have life pleasant
around them, they cannot feel, at
the close of life, that they have suc?
ceeded, if the future is dark before
them. When Cardinal Wolsey, who
had been the favorite of tne King,
and had long held the Government
of England in his hand, fell from
power, he said: 'If 1 had served my
God -is truly as I served my King. He
would not have forsaken me in my
gray hairs.' The world i> a p >or
comforter at the last."?Kev. J. Cam?

The following ktory is told of Mark

Mark answered the telephone, and,

not generally <e3n in print, but which I
was certainly picturesque. While
thus engaged ho hoard an answer in j

voice of an eminent divine whom he

Text "Speak ye. comfortably lo Jerusa?
lem."?Isaiah xl., 2.
What an awful six weeks in commercial
circles! Tho -'rushing of banks from San
Francisco to New York and from ocean to
ocean. Tho complete uncertainty that has
halted all styles of business for three months
and the pressure of the money market for the
laat year have put all bargain makers at
their wits' end. Some of the best men in
the land havo faltered?men whose hearts
are enlisted In every good work and
whoso ? hands have blessed every great
charity. Tho church of God can afford to
extend to them her sympathies and plead be?
fore heaven with all availing prayer. The
schools such men have established, tho
churches they have built, the asylums and
beneficent institutions they have fostered,
wiil ba their eulogy long after their banking
instit.itions aro forgott?n.
Sn ih men can never fail. They havo their
treasures in banks that never break and will
be millionaires forever. The stringency of
the money market, I am glad to say. begins
to relax. May the wisdom of Almighty Ged
come down upon our National legislature at
their convening next month in Washington
and such results be reached as shall restore
confidence and revive trade and multiply
prosperities I Yet not only now in the time
of financial disaster, but all through life, our
active business people have a struggle, and I
think it will bo appropriate and useful for
me to talk about their trials and try to offer
6ome curative prescriptions.
In the first place, I have to remark that a
great many of our business men feel ruinous
trials and temptations coming to them fiom
small and limited capital in business. It is
everywhere understood that lt takes now
three or four times as much to do business
well as onco it did. One* n few hundred dol?
lars vi to turned into goods?the merchant
wouid be his own 6toro sweeper, his own
salesman, his own bookkeeper. He would
I manage all the affairs himself, and every
i thing would be net profit. Wonderful
changes havo come. Costly apparatus, ex
tensive advertising, exorbitant store rents,
heavy taxtatiou, expensive agencies, are
only parts of the demand mado upon cur
' commercial men, and w*hen they have found
themselves in such circumstances with small
capital they have sometimes been tempted to
run against tho rocks of moral and financial
destruction.
This temptation of limited capital ha3
ruined men in two ways. Sometimes they
have shrunk down under the temptation.
They have yielded the battle before the first
6hot was fired. At tho first hard gun they
surrendered. Their knees knocked togethet.
nt the fall of the auctioneer's hammer. They
blanched at the financial peril. They di_
not understand thnt there is such a thing a
heroism in merchandise, and tbat there are
Waterloos of the counter, anl that a man
can fight no braver battle withthesword than
he can with the yardstick.
Their souls melted in them because sugars
were pp when they wanted to buy and down j
when they wanted to sell and unsalable '
goods wero oo the shelf nnd bad debts in '
their ledger. The gloom of their counte?
nances overshadowed even their dry goods '
and groceries. Despondency, coming from
limited capital, blasted them. Others havo I
felt it in a different way. They have said :
"Ilere I h-*,-?* been trudging along. * I have
been trying to be honest all these years. 1 j
find it is of no use. Now it is make or !
bnak."
The small craft that could have stood the
str-am i<- put out beyond Hie lighthouse on '
the grear sea Ol speculation. Stocks are the '{
dice with which ho gambles. He bought for j
r few dollars vast tracts of western land. !
Some man at the east living on a fat home- \
stead meets this gambler of fortune and is
persuaded to tradar off his estate here for lots i
In a western city with largo avenues and
costly pi-tees and lake steamers smoking at
the wharves and rail trains coming down :
with lightning speed from every direction. I
Thero it iu al! on paper! The city has never .
been built nor the railroads constructed, but
everything points that way, and the thing j
will bo dons' as sure as you live. And that '
is the process by which many havo been
tempted through limitation of capital into
labyrinths from which they could not be ex?
tricated.
I would not want to chain honest enter?
prise. I would not want to block up any of
the avenues for honest accumulation that
open before young men. On the contrary, I
would like to cheer them on and rejoice
when they reach tho goal, but when there aro
such multitudes of men going to ruin for '
this life and the life that is to come through
wrong notions of what are lawful spheres of
enterprise it is the duty of ministers of re- j
ligion and the friends of all young men tc
utter a plain, emphatic, unmistakable pro- '
test. These are the influences that drown
men in destruction and perdition.
Again, a great many of our business men
are tempted to over-anxiety and care. You
know that nearly all commercial businesses
aro overdone in this day. Smitten with the
love of quick gain, our cities are crowded
with men resolved to ba- rich at all hazards. !
They do not care how money comes. Our j
best merchants are thrown into competition
with men ot more means and less oonsdenoe,
and if an opportunity of accumulation be ne?
glected one nour some one els ? piokfl it np.

Imaginary loss and flashed with imaginary
gains. Even the Sabbath cannot dam back
the tide oi' anxiety, for this wave of worldli?
ness dashes clear over tho churches and
leaves its foam on Bibles and prayer books.
Men who aro living on salaries or by the
culture of the soil cannot understand the
wear and tear ol body and mini to which
our merchants are subjected when they do
not know Emt that their livelihoo i an 1 their
business honor are dependent upon the un?
certainties of the n"xt hour. This excite?
ment of the brain, tbis eorro ling care of tho
heart, this strain of effort that exhausts tha
spirit, sends a great many of our best men in
midlife to the grave. They find
that Wall street does not end at the East
River. It ends at Greenwood! Their life
dashed out against money safes. Taey go
with their store on their back. They trudge
lik" camels, sweating from Aleppo to Damas?
cus. Thev make their life a crucifixion.
Standing behiml desks and counters, ban?
ished from the fre3h air, weighed down by
carking cares, they are so many suicides.
Oh, I wish I could to-day rub out some of
these lines of care ; that leonid lift some of
the burdens from the heart; that I could
give relaxation to somo of these worn
muscles ! lt is time for you to begin to take
it a little a-asier. Do your best, and then
rrust God for the rest. Do not fret. God
manages ali the affairs of your life, and He
tinrm for tho best. Consider the
lilies-they always have robes. Behold the
fowls of tho air?they always have nests,
rakoa lon,' breath. Bethink betimes that
Sod did not make you a pack horse. Dig
roars'lv<'s out from among the hogsheads
ind tho shelves, and in tha lie*! of the holv
5a'bath day r.*sor?-e that you \\M give to the
vinds your fears, and your fretfulness, and
?our distresses. You brought nothing into
he world, and it is very certain you can
?arry nothing out. Having fool and
raimant, be therewith content.
The mer thant erne home from tho store,
rhere had been great disaster then'. He
>pene 1 the front door aui sadd in tha midst
af his family circler "I am ruined. Ev
rrything is goii". I am all rained!" His
,vifo said, "I am left." and the little child
hrew up its hands an t said. "Papa, I am
-ere." The aged grandmother seated in the
room said, "Then you have nil the promises
)f God beside, John." And he burst into
ears and said : "God torgive me that I have
Men so ungrateful I lindi havo a great
nany things loft. God forgive me."
Again. I remark that many of our business
nen are tempted to neglect their home dut les.
How often it is that the store and tho home
seem to clash, but there ought not to be any
?ollisiou. lt is often the ease that the father
is the mere tr. asurer of the family, a sort oi
igent to see that they have dry goo ls and
jrooeries. Tin* work of family government
ne do ?- not touch, Once or twice in a year
he calls tho children up on a Sabbath after?
noon when he has a hali hour he does not
exactly know what to do with, and in that
aalf hour bo disciplines the children an',
dudes them and corrects their faults anl
"rives them a great deal of good advice, an)
:hen wonders all the rest ot tho yr'.ir that his
?hildren do not do better when they have the
ronderfol advantage ot' that semi-annual
?astigation.
The family table, which ought to be tho
place lor pleasant discussion and cheeri?
ness, often becomes the place of perilous ex?
pedition. If there bo any blessing asked at
all, it is cut off at both ends, and with tho
hand on the carving knife. He counts on
his fingers, making estimates in the inter?
stices of the repast.' The work done, the hat
goes to the head, and he starts down the
street, and before tho family has risen from
the table ho has bundled up another bundle
of goods and says to the customer, "Any?
thing more I can do for you to-day. sir?"
A man has more responsibilities than those
which are discharged by putting competent
instructors* over his children and giving
them a drawing master and music teacher.
The physical culture of the child will not bo
attended to unless the father looks to it. He
must sometimes lose his dignity. He must
unlimber his joint3. Ho must sometimes
tea<i tnem ont to ?-.err sports and game'.
The parent who cannot forget tne severo du?
ties of life sometimes to fly the kite, anl
trundle the hoop, aad chasa the ball, and
jump the rope with his children ought never
to havo been tempted out of a crusty and un?
redeemable solitariness.
If you want to keep your children away
from places of sin, you can only do it by
making your homo attractive. You may
preach sermons and advocate* r?forms and
denounce wickedness, and yet your children
will be captivated by tbe glittering siloon of
sin unless you can make your homo a
brighter piaco than any other place on earth
to them. Ob. gather all charms into your
house ! If you can afTord it bring books and
pictures ana cheerful entertainments to the
household. But, above ali, teach those chil?
dren, not by half an hour twice a year on the
Sabbath day, but day after day, and every
nay teacn tnem that r?iigion is a great glad?
ness that throws chains of gold about tho
nock ; that it takes no sprinrt from the foot,
no blitheness from the heart, no sparkle from
the eyo, no ring from tho laughter, but that
"her ways are way3 of pleasantness, nnd all
her paths are peace."
I sympathtee with tho work being done in
many of our cities by which beautiful rooms
aro set apart by our Young Mon's Christian
Associations, and I pray God to prosper them
in all things. But, I tell you, thero is some
*hi_g back of that and before that, W? ne9d
more happy, consecrated, cheerful Christian
homes in America.
Have you ever ciphered out in tho rule of j
loss and gain the sum. "What shall it profit
a man if he gain the whole world and lose
his soul'?" However fine your apparel, tho
winds of death will flutter it like rags.
Homespun and a threadbare coat have some
times been the shadow of coming robes
made white in tha blood of tho Limb. The
pearl oi great price is wortti moro thin any
gem you can bring from the ocean, than Aus?
tralian or Brazilian mines strung in one car
canet. Seek after God, find His righteous?
ness, and all shall be well here ; all shall be
well hereafter.
But I must havo a word with those who
during the present commercial calamities
have lost heavily, or perhaps lost all their
estate. If a man loso his property at 30 or 40
years of age, it is only asharpdiscipline gen?
erally by which later he comes to larger suc?
cess. It is all folly for a man to sit down in
midlifo discouraged. The marshals of
Napoleon came to their commander and
said, "We have lost tho battlo and we
are being cut to pieces." Napoleon took
his watch from his pocket and said : "It
is only 2 o'clock in the afternoon. You have
lost that battle, but you have time enough
to win another. Charge upon the foe!"
Though the meridian of life has passed
with you and you have been routed in many
a conflict, give not up in dis-ouragement.
There are victories yet for you to gain. But
sometimes monetary disaster comes to a
man when there is something in his ago or
something in his health or something in his
surroundings which make him know well
thal he will never get up again.
In 1357 if was estimated that for many
years previous to tbat time annually there
had beeu 30,003 failures in tho United States.
Many of those parsons never recovered from
the misfortune. But let me give a word of
comfort in passing. The sheriff may sell you
out of many things, but there are some
things of which he cannot sell you out. Ho
cannot s?ll out vour health. He cannot sell
out your family. He cannot sell out your
Bible. He cannot sell out your God." He
cannot sell out your heaven. You hnve more
than you havo lost.
Sons and daughters of God, children of an
etcqpal and all loving Father, mourn not
when your property goes. The world is
yours, and life is yours, and death is yours,
and immortality is yours, and thrones of im?
perial grandeur are yours, and rivers of
gladness are yours, and shining mansions
are yours, and God is yours. Tho eternal
God has sworn it, and every time you dou!>t
it you charge the King of heaven and earth
with perjury. Instead of complaining how
hard you have*it, go home, take up your
llitile full ol promises, get down on your
knees before God and thank Him for what
you have instead of spending so much timo
in complaining about what you have not.
Somo of you remember the shipwreck of
the Cmtral America. This noble steamer
had. I think, about 503 passengers aboard.
Suddenly the storm came, and the surges
trampled tho decks and swung into tho
hatches, and there went up a hundred voiced
death shriek. The foam on the jaw of the
wive ; the pitching of the steamer as though
it were leaping a mountain ; the dismal flare
of the signal rockets ; the long cough of the
steam pipes ; tho hiss of tho extinguished
furnaces : the walking of God on the wave!
The steamer went not down without a strug?
gle
As the passengers stationed themselves in
rows to bale out the vessel, hark to the
thump of the buckets as men unused to toil,
with blistered hands and strained muscle,
lug for their lives. Tnere is a sail seen
against the sky. Tho flash of tbe distress
_un is soundo.i. Its voice is heard not, for
it is cho:-e,| in tho louder booming oi the s^a.
A few passengers escaped, but tho steamer
gave one great lurch and was gone ! So
there are some men who sail on prosperously
in life. All's well, all's well. But at last
some financial disaster comes - aeurocly.lon.
Down they go ! the bottom of this commer?
cial sea strewn with shattered hulks.
But becau33 your property goes do not
let your soul go. Though all else perish,
save that, for 1 havo to tell you of a moru
5tup3ndous shipwreck than that which I
have just mentioned. God launched this
world 6000 years ago. It has been going on
under freight of mountains and immortals,
but one day it will stagger at the cry of fire,
fhe timbers of rock will burn, the mountains
Same like masts and tho clouds like sails in
the judgment hurricane. Then God shall
take thy passengers off tho aleck, and from
the berths thoso who havo long been asleep
in Jesus, and He will set them far beyond
the reach of storm and peril.
But how many shall go down? That will
never lie known until it shall be announced
one day in heaven?the shipwreck of a world.
Oh, my clear hearers, whatever you lose,
though your houses go. though your lands
go. though all your earthly possessions per?
ish, may Almighty God. through the blood of
the everlasting covenant, save all vour souls.

The last Ruuday It Is to Be Open,
Not a Drawing Card,
The Injunction to Zosp the Gates Opan
Not Vacated.
Tho last open Sunday of the Exposition did
not show any Improvement upon ether Sun?
days in point of attendance, but as nearly all
pass holders paid the entrance fee of 50 cents
the fund for tho benefit of the sufferers from
tho Cold Storage fire was considerable in a
substantial way.
Tbe morning was uncomfortably warm
and the sultry air in the vast Park mado
walking and sight-seeing a laborious task. A
shower at noon, however, cooled tho atmos?
phere a few degrees ami during tho after?
noon tho turnstiles at the pay gatos recordod
tho advent of many visitors who formed the
principal crowds of tho day.
Tho pa.j? gates were almost entirely Ignor?
ed, the holders of the photographic privil?
eges in nearly every instanco buying a piece
of pasteboard bearing the words, "Admit
one. benefit sutToreis from tho Cold Storage
fire," or using their passes and depositing tx
silver half-dollar in the receptable which met
iha eye ju it inside the gato3.
Tho crowd which the evening was expected
to bring out did not m itorlaUss an 1 tlio lila
gatekeepers did not have ono kimi word to

their lack of appreciation of thegallaut work !

HANY EXHIBITS CLOSED.
Tho outward appearance of Ihe Fair did |
not suffer in an y respect from that of Inst j
Sunday, savo for tho emblems of mourning i
on the engine hou-.e and tho fligs at half,
mast. Nearly all of tho displ ys mado by
' foreign exhibitors in Manufactures Building
were draped, whilo many American o_hi.it
were closed.
The building was visited by many pcoplt
during the day, however, but mosl of them
spent their time sitting upon chairs in ibq
long avenues running through tho building
nnd viewing the whito canvasses which shut
out the coveted sights within.
Other Luildings lind iheir usual Sunda)
ciowds. the greatest number of vieitoii
thronging the Art Fa:nce,the Krupp Gun ex?
hibit and tbe Convent. The PIaisance,whict
always holds the Sunday crowds, was a Lusj
place all day and impressed upon tho con?
cessionaires more firmly ihan ever tho idea
that their patt of the lair should bo kop;
Open.
Music was furnished during the afternoon
and evening by the Chicago, Cincinnati and
Iowa State bands, the feature ol "Heroes
Day" being much enjoyed and appreciated
by moderately-si/.ed crowds.
THE SUNDAY CLOSING QUESTION.
In re jard to Sunday closing, it is said a
tempoiary injunction, obtained several weeks
ago by Charles W. Clingman, one of the
stockholders in the Exposition company,and
a taxpayer of Chicago,'compelling tho gate*
to be Kept open, stL'l stands in the way.
Judge Stein, of tbe Sup.rrior Court of Cook
County, who granted the degree, said :
"Tho injunction is still in force : there ls
no doubt about that. If the Court's attention
is officially (Ulled to any violation of the or?
der, it will, after due consideration, take
such action as may a; pear proper."
William E. Mason, solicitor tor tho peti?
tioner, said : "Tho gates will not Lo cloted
next Sunday unless my client desires to back
down."
Edward Walker, who bas been tho chief
legal spirit in conducting ali the litigation
on tho side of the Exposition company, said :
?'The gates will be closed. Unless Mr. Cling?
man consents to nn amicable adjustment of
the matter reiativj to tho injunction, we will
simply go into court and have it set aside.
This, I am s disfied, on a full representat.on
of the case, which has never been mado, can
easily be done."
Mr. Clingman could not be found to ascer
taiu what course he proposes to pursue. Mr.
Mason, declared, however, that it would be
an easy matter for the El position company
to overrido an order of tho Court, en long as
anybody sees flt to insist upon that order be?
ing enforced. That is why he so freely de?
clared that tho Exposition, in his opinion,
would not bo closed next Sunday.
A BUILDING IN SOUVENIR COINS.
A spaco about 1 wonty feet square in the

Disappearance of the Dunter.
Where has tbe duster gone? It li
still worn in the West. It still ap'
pears on longer line-i of travel. Its
manifest and sensible convenience
endears it to middle-aged men. But
on B short lino like that between this
City and New York the duster has
disappeared aa completely as last
wlnter'i inowfiaicet. The clothing
stores keep them on the back shelves.
Few are sold. The big wholesale
dealers do not sell a dozen where they
once disposed of hales. In a few
short years this convenient garment
his been relegated to the country
districts and the provinces. Yet in
our climate, with our hot, dry sum
mers, our abundant dust and long
railroad Journeys, the duster ought
to have become a permanent article
of clothing for all travelers.? Phila?
