In tbis discourse Dr. Talmage argues
that religion may be taken into til the
affairs of life, and instead of being a
hindrance, as many think, is a re
enforcement. The text is Romans 12:
11: "Not Blothful in business; fervent
in spirit; serving the Lord."
Industry, devoutness and Christian
ervice all commended in that short
text. What, is it possible that they
shall be conjoined? Oh, yes. There is
no war between religion and business,
between ledgers and Bibles, between
churches and counting houses. On the
contrary, religion accelerates business,
sharpens men's wits, sweetens acerbity
of disposition, fillips the blood of phleg
matlcs and throws more velocity into
the wheels of hard work. It gives bet
ter balancing to the judgment, more
strength to the will, more muscles to
industry and throws into enthusiasm a
more consecrated fire. You cannot in
all the circle of the world show me a
man whose honest business hus been
despoiled by religion.
. The Industrial alasses are divided into
three groups producers, manufac
turers, traders. Producers, such
farmers and miners. Manufacturers,
such as those who turn corn into food
and wool and flax into apparel. Traders,
uch as make profit out of the transfer
and exchange of all that which is pro
duced and manufactured. A business
man may belong to any one or all of
these classes, and not ono is indt-pend
ent of any other.
When the prince imperial of France
fell on the Zulu battlefield because the
trapfastcning the stirrup to the saddle
broke as he clung to it, his comrades
all escaping, but he falling under the
lances of the savages, a great many
people blamed the empress for allow
ing her son to go forth into that bat
tlefiuld, and others blamed the Eng
lish government for accepting the sac'
rilice, and others blamed the Zulus for
their barbarism. The one most to blame
was the harness maker who fashioned
that strap of the stirrup out of shoddy
and imperfect material, as it was found
to have been afterward. If the strap
had held, the prince imperial would
probably have been alive to-day. liut
the strap broke. No prince independ
ent of a harness maker! High, low,
wiBe, ignorant, you in one occupation,
I in another, all bound together.
Bo that there must be one continuous
line of sympathy with each other's
work. But whatever your vocation,
if you have a multiplicity of engage
ments, if int o your li f e there come losses
and annoyances' and perturbations as
well as percentages and dividends, if
you are pursued from Monday morning
until Saturday night, and from January
to Junuary by inexorable obligation
and duty, then you are a business man,
or you are a business woman, and
my subject is appropriate to your
case.
We are under the impression that the
moil and tug of business life are pris
on Into wnich a man is thrust, or
that it is an unequal strife, where un
armed a man goes forth to contend. I
shall show you this morning that busi
ness life was intended of Cod for grand
and glorious education and discipline,
nd if I shall be helped to say what I
want to suy I shall rub some of the
wrinkles of can out of your brow and
unstrap some of the burdens from your
back. I am not talking of an abstrac
tion. Though never having been in
business life, I know all about busi
ness men. In my first parish at Belle
ville, N. J., ten miles from New York,
a large portion of my audience was
made up of New York merchants. Then
I went to Syracuse, a place of immense
commercial activity, and then I went
to Philadelphia and lived long among
the merchants of that city, than whom
there are no better men on earth, and
for 25 years I stood at my Brooklyn
pulpit. Sabbath by Sabbath, preaching
toaudiences the mujority of whom were
business men and business women. It
is not an abstraction of which I speak,
but a reality with which I am well ac
quainted. In the first place, I remark that
business life was intended as a school
of energy. God gives us a certain
amount of raw material out of which we
are to hew our character. Our facul
ties are to be reset, rounded and sharp
ened up. Our young folks having grad
uated from school or college need a
higher education, that which the rasp
ing collision of every -day life alone can
effect. Energy is wrought out only
in the fire. After a man has been in
business activity 10, 20, 30 years, his
energy is not to be measured by weights
or plummets or ladders. There is no
height it cannot scale, and there is no
depth it cannot fathom, and there is no
obstacle it cannot thrash.
Now, my brother, why did God put
you in that Bcbool of energy? Was it
merely that you might be a yardstick
to measure cloth, or a steelyard to
weigh flour? Was it merely that you
might be better qualified to chaffer aud
higgle? No. God placed you in that
school of energy that you might be de
veloped for Christian work. If the un
developed taleuts in the 'Christian
churches of to-day were brought out
and thoroughly harnessed, I believe the
whole earth would be converted to God
in a twelvemonth. There are so many
deep streams tnat are turning no mill
and that are harnessed to no factory
bands.
Now, God demands the best lamb out
of every flock, lie demands the rich-1
est sheaf of every harvest. He demands
the best men of every generation. A
douse in which Newton and Locke and
Mansfield toiled you and I ran afford to
toil in. Ob, for fewer idlers in the
cause of Christ and for more Christian
workers, men who shall take the same
energy that fram Monday morning to
Saturday night they put forth for the
achievement of a livelihood or the gath
ering of a fortune, and on Sabbath days
put it forth to the advantage of Christ's
kingdom and the bringing of men to
the Lord.
Dr. Duff visited a man who had in
herited a great fortune. The man said
to him: "I had to be very busy for many
years of my life getting my livelihood.
After awhile this fortune came to me,
and there has been no necessity that I
toil since. There came a time when I
said to myself 'Shall I now retire from
business or shall I go on and serve the
Lord in my worldly occupation?' " He
said: "I resolved on the latter, and 1
have been more industrious in commer
cial circles than I ever was before, and
since that hour I have never kept a
farthing for myself. I have thought it
to be a great shame if I couldn't toil
as hard for the Lord as I had toiled
for myself, and all the products of my
factories and my commercial establish
ments, to the last farthing, have gone
for the building of Christian institu
tions and supporting the church of
God." Would. that the same energy
put forth for the world could be put
forth for God. Would that a thousand
men in these great cities who have
achieved a fortune could see it their
duty now to do all business for Christ
and the alleviation of the world's suf
fering! Again, I remark that business life is
a school of patience. In your every
day life how many things to annoy and
to disquiet! Bargains will rub. Com
mercial men will sometimes fail to
meet their engagements. Cashbooks
and money drawer will sometimes quar
rcl. Goods ordered for a special emer
gency will come too late or be damaged
in the transportation. People intend'
ing no harm will go shopping without
any intention of purchase, overturning
great stocks of goods and insisting that
you break the dozen. More bad debts
on the ledger. More counterfeit bills
in the drawer. More debts to pay for
other people. More meannesses on the
part of partners in business. Annoy
nnce oftcr annoyance, vexation after
vexation, and loss after loss.
All that process will either break you
down or brighten you up. It is a
school of patience. You have known
men under the process to become petu
lant, and choleric, and nngry, and pug
nacious, and cross, and sour, and queer,
and they lost their customers, and their
name' became a detestation. Other men
have been brightened up under the
process. They were toughened by the
exposure. They were like rocks, all the
more valuable for being blasted. At
first they had to choke dchvn their
wrath, at first they had to bite their
lip, at first they thought of some sting
ing retort they would like to make, but
they conquered their impatience. They
have- kind words now for sarcastic
flings. They have gentle behavior now
for unmannerly customers. They are
patient now with unfortunate debtors.
They have Christian reflections now for
sudden reverses. Where did they get
that patience? By hearing a minister
preuch concerning it on Subbath? Oh,
no. They got it just where you will get
it if you ever get it at all selling hats,
discounting notes, turning banisters,
plowing corn, tinning roofs, pleading
causes. Oh, that amid the turmoil and
anxiety and exasperation of everyday
life you might hear the voice of God
saying: "In patience possess your soul.
Let patience have her perfect work."
I remark again that business life is
a school of useful knowledge. Mer
chants do not read many books and do
not study lexicons. They do not dive
into profounds of learning, and yet
nearly all through their occupation
come to understand questions of
finance, and politics, and geography.
and1 jurisprudence, and ethics. Busi
ness is a severe schoolmistress. If pu-.
pi ib will not learn, she strikes them over
the head and the heart with severe
losses. Y'ou put $5,000 into an enter
prise. It is all gone. You say: "That
is a dead loss." Ob, no. You are paying
the schooling. That was only tuition,
very large tutition I told you it was a
severe schoolmistress but it was worth
it. Y'ou learned things under that proc
ess you would not have learned in any
other way.
Traders in grain come to know some
thing about foreign harvests; traders in
fruit como to know something about
the, prospects of tropical production;
manufacturers of American goods come
to understand the tariff on importt-d
articles; publishers of books must come
to understand the new law of copy
right; owners of ships must come to
know winds and shoals and navigation,
and every bale of cotton and every
raisin cask and every tea box and every
cluster of bananas Is so much literature
for a business man. Now, my brother,
what are you going to do with the intel
ligence? Do you suppose God put you
in this school of Information merely
that you might be sharper in a trade.
that you might be more successful as a
worldling? Oh, no. It was that you
might take that useful information and
use it for Jesus Christ.
Can it be that you have been dealing
with foreign lands and never had the
missionary spirit, wishing the salvation
of foreign people? Can it be that you
have become acquainted with all the
outrages Inflicted in business life and
that you have never tried to bring to
bear that Gospel which is to extirpate
all evil and correct all wrongs and il-
luminateail and save men for this world
and the world darkness and lift up ail
wretchedness to come7 Can it be that
understanding all the intricacies of
business you know nothing about those
things which nill last after all bills of
exchange and consignments and In
voice and rent rolls shall have crum
pled up and bees consumed In the fires
of the last great day? Can it be that a
man will be wise for tima and a fool for
eternity?
I remark also that business life is a
school for integrity. No man knows
what he will do until he is tempted.
mere are thousands of men who have
kept their integrity merely because
they never bavij been tested. A man
was elected t:eajurer of the state of
Maine some years ago. He was distin
guished for his honesty, usefulness and
uprightness, but before one year bad
passed he had taken of the public funds
for his own private use and was burled
out of office in disgrace. Distinguished
for virtue before. Distinguished for
crime after. You can call over the names
of men just like that, in whose honesty
youhad complete confidence, but placed
in certain crises of temptation tiicy
went overboard.
Never so many temptations to scoun
drelism as now. Not a law on the stat
ute book but has some back door
through which a miscreant can escape.
Ah, how many deceptions in the fab
ric of the goods! So much plundering
in commercial life that if a man talk
about living a life of complete commer
cial integrity there are those who as
cribe It to greenness and lack of tact.
How many men do you suppose there
are in commercial life who could say
truthfully: "In all the sales I have ever
made I have never overstated the value
of goods; in all the sales I have ever
made I have never covered up an imper
fection in the fabric; in all the thou
sands of dollars I have ever made I hare
not taken one dishonest farthing?"
There are men, however, who can soy
it, hundreds who can say it, thousands
who can say it. They are more honest
than when they sold their first tierce
of rice, or their first firkin of butter,
because tbcirhoncsty and integrity have
been tested, tried and come out tri
umphant. But they remember a time
when they could have robbed a partner,
or have absconded with the funds of a
bank, or made a false assignment, or
borrowed inimitably without any ef
forts at payment, or got a man into a
sharp corner and fleeced him. But they
neier took one step on that pathway
of hell fire. ' They can say their pray
erB without hearing the chink of dis
honest dollars. They can read their
Bible without thinking of the time
when with a lie on their soul In the
custom house they kissed the Book.
They can think of death and the judg
ment that comes after it without any
flinching that day when all charlatans
and cheats, and jockeys and frauds
shall be doubly damned. It does not
nuke their knees knock together, and
it does not make their teeth chatter to
read "as the partridge sitteth on eggs
and hatcheth them not, so he that get
teth riches, and not by right, shall
leave them in the midst of his days, and
at his end shall be a fool."
What a school of integrity business
life is! If you ever have been tempted
to let your integrity cringe before pres
ent advantage, if you have ever
wakened up in some embarrassment
und said: "Now, I will step a little
aside from the right path and no one
will know it, and I will come all right
again,, it is only once." That only once
has ruined tens of thousands of men
for this life and blasted their souls for
eternity.
A man arose in i'ulton 6trect prayer
meeting and said: "I wish publicly to
acknowledge the goodness of God.
was in business trouble. I had money
to pay, and I had no means to pay it,
and I was in utter despair, of all human
help, and I laid this matter before the
Lord, and this morning I went down
among some old business friends I had
not seen in many years just to make
a call, and one said to me: 'Why, I am
so glad to Bee you! Walk in. We have
some money on' our books due you a
good while, but we didn t know where
you were, and therefore not having
your address, we could not send it
We are very glad you have come.' " And
the man standing in Fulton street
prayer meeting said: "The amount thev
paid me was six times what I owed."
You say it only happened so? You are
unbelieving. God answered that man's
prayer.
Oh, you want business grace. Com
merciul ethics, business honor, lows
of trade, are all very good in their
place, but there are times when you
want something more than this world
will give you. You want God. For
lack of Him some thatfou have known
have consented to forge, and to mal
treat their friends, and to curse their
enemies, and their names have been
bulletined among scoundrels, and they
have been ground to powder, while
other men you have known have gone
through the very same stress of circum
stances triumphantly. There are men
here to-duy who fought the battle and
gained the victory. People come out
it that man's store, and they say:
'Well, if there ever was a Christian
trader, that is one." Integrity kept the
books and waited on the customers.
Light from the eternal world flashed
through the show windows. Love to
God and love to man presided in that
storehouse. Borne day people eolne
through the street notice that the shut
ters of the window are not down. The
bar of that store door has not been
removed. People say: "What is the
matter?" Vou go up a little closer, and
you see written on the card of that win
dow: "Closed on accountof the death of
one of the firm." That day all through
tne circles or business there is- talk
about how a good man has gone. Boards
of trade pass resolutions of sympathy,
and churches of Christ pray: "Help,
Lord, for the godly man ceaseth." He
has made bis last bargain, he has Buf
fered bis last loss, he has ached with the
last fatigue. His children will get the
result of his Industry, or, if through
misfortune there be no dollars left, they
will have an estate of prayer and Chris
tian example which will be everlasting.

KEEP ROADS CLEAN.

It is an old and true saying that what
Is every man's business is no man's
business. There is no plnce where the
truth of this is more noticeable than
In tha manner in which the roads are
left to grow up to trash and weeds,
when a few hours' work would keep
them clean. No matter how neat' a
fnrmer may be, or how tidy he makes
his farm appear, the effect is spoiled so
far as appearance is concerned if thq
few feet of public highway between
the roadway and his fence is over
grown by unsightly weeds, brush and
noxious herbage. A neat fence and
well-kept roadside will add many dol
lars to the value of a farm.
Beside the question of neatness there
Is another, greater reason which every
man must recognize, but which is uni
versally ignored, why a farmer should
give the road bordering his farm strict
attention. It will be a difficult task, in
deed, as most of us have found to our
cost, to keep the thistles, burs and
weeds in the road from scattering their
seeds broadcast over the adjoining
fields. It is much easier to keep the
roads clean. As the roads are fields
where the seed is liable to be sown at
any time, by passing teams, grain or
eattle, constant vigilance is necessary.
But the end gained certainly recom
penses the labor and care.
"A wise man will make use of any
thing. I will turn disease into a com
modity," said Fulstaff. A well-to-do
neighbor of ours uses the weeds and
coarse grass he cuts from the road as
stack bottoms. Where there is any ripe
seed among the cuttings, however, this
might not be best, but the cutting fi
usually done too early In the season for

broad Tires best.
The? Kan Juit as Easy on Smooth

oa Bad tiroand
Brood tires are better than narrow
ones in every respect. On a smooth
road a broad-tired wagon will run Just
us easy ns a narrow-tired one, and on
roads a little muddy a great deal easier.
The narrow tire will make a rut more
or less deep, while the broad tire will
flatten out and pack the ground, and
so make a better road.
Out in the fields, also, the broad tire
is superior. A narrow one cuts down,
deep if the ground Is soft, and leaves
a rut to run over with the mower or
binder. It also cuts deep enough to
kill out whatever grain may be planted
in the field. The wider tire, while
cutting in some, does not go nearly so
deep, and the grain may be simply
mashed and is likely to rise up and
grosjr.
In countries where there is a great
deal of snow the people wear wide
snowshoes to keep them from Bluking
into t he snow. The same principle may
be applied to wngon tires. The wider
they are the less they will sink. Of
course, tires must not be too wide. If
they nre they are liable to be heavy and
clumsy. From four to six inches is
wide enough for general purposes.
bo, summing up, we have this: Wide
tires are better than narrow ones be
cause they keep the roads in better
condition, do not cut up the fields so
much, nre not so liable to kill out a
crop, run Just as easy on suiuoth roads
and a great deal easier on bad ground.

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syni'p of Fios, manufactured by the
California Fig Symup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to te
medicinally Uxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to tho
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling ono
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and Biib
stance. and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make It the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fio Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, pleosa
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
