An ooiect-iesson had jiift been shown
to the dtectples. The day before they
had been coming wii.h .Jesua from Ceth
lyii Into Jerusalem. On the w,y a llg
tree had been passed. The tree, at a dis
tance, was een to have on It leaves and
the promise of fruit; on coming up to it,
"notliiriK but leaves'' wan found. Jesus
cursed the tree; -no man eat fruit of
thee hereafter forever," lie said. The
sentence of judgment had been carried
out. That was only the day before; to
day the lig tree wa withered away. The
disciples wondered at this, how much a
little word had accomplished. "-Ah:"
aid Jesus, "that word was spoken with
the full belief that such a result would
tollow. This withered tig tree showg
what you can do, if only you hve faith
In Uod. Ity means of faith you can gay
to thin mountain, Be thou removed and
be thou east into the sea, and it will obey
you. By ineani of faith you can obtain
answers to your prayers ; for what things
soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe
that ye receive them, and ye shall have
them."
I wlah this morning to draw some leg
on from the hard times. I have not iet
a very ambitious task before me. I am
not going to waste any time in arguinir
thai the times are bard ; I might Just as 'of European capital invested iu this

ci ; ioi more reciprocity, so that we
can barter to good advantage a great
deal of surplus produce that we know
not what to do with. What is the mat
ter with our country ? The gunohiiie has
not failed u-, the coal supply has not
come suddenly abort in the mined of
1'ennsylvnni.i, the rich loam of the West
ern plains is not exhausted, ttiose who
develop our resources have not ceased
coming to our shore. What is the mat
ter with our country V There are as many
people as ever in the United States ; very
few have gone back disgusted to their na
tive land because they cannot make a liv
ing here. There are just as many to be
housed and clothed and warmed and fed.
Behold, then, a strange thing under the
sun : A people with millions of acres un
occupied crying for land, a people with
granaries bursting with the yield of rich
barveets crying for bread, a people with
more money In circulation per capita than
in any other country on the globe crying
because they are pinched and tightened
and cramped and straitened. What is;
the matter with our country, then?
Why, just this is the matter: There is
a wide-spread lack of faith. There has
grown up a loss of confidence in every
thing, in banks, la bonds, in real estate,
in loans, in a man's word of honor, in
government securities, in the ability of
any one to redeem the pledges and prem
ises that he makes.

Now Ut me go bank to my lirst point:
hn prosperity of things, commercial and
ptritual. depends upon fall h ; that is ;
re!'gitu and bn-iness have a common
bond and tie. There is s: commonplace
saying that we all know, ilusiness is
business, phi;- is as fiuch a-; to ,-aj :
liitsiMess is business ami must be kept
by it-odf; hu-iness is business and has
itr own peculiar ways of doing thing- ;
business is business and is transacted in
a sphere all its own; it has its own pe
eu.i ir principles and methods and prac
tice', and aims. Now, business does not
have its own peculiar principles and
meto'id? and practices and aims. Jtu-i-nos-
depends upon laith, is bai:d upon
f.iitb, cannot get along without faith
such is the teaching of th'-'e hard, times ;
ma religion depends upon faith, is based
upon faith, cannot get along without
faith- such is the teaching of the Bible.
God's. Word. iiuMtic-n is called intense
ly practical, religion is thought to be in
tensely unpractical. Bu iness is thought
to have to do with six days i
of the week, religion by many j
people is regauled - as a good
tliiiig on the seventh day of the week. ;
Business is looked upon as walking upon I
the earth, religion is known to have its !
home in the skies. Business is consider, i
ed to be the part of the man who wants !
to make a good living here, religion is !
counted a fair investment for the one I
who 1 concerned with how it is to be j
Willi him over there. Don't you see how !
the teaching of these hard times is all to
the contrary? It says, .Religion is the
most practical thing in the world. It
says : Take faith away, and you knock
the props out from under the pillars of
the nation's prosperity; take faith away,
and you opeu the throttle-valve and start
the train carrying the nation's wealth at
fearful speed on the downhill grade to
ruin.
Religion is something natural. To
show that is the only reason why 1 have
preached this isertuoa to day ; and if men
would only learn that, these hard times
would not have been In vain. How few
business men we find in our churches.'
How few "captains of industry" are also
captains of the Lord s host! flow ten-
sral is the notion that religion is a piece
of sentinientalism, good enough for
women and small children I If we could
only make religion dismount from its
stilts ! If we-tould only have It for a
little while put off its pious look and
sanctimonious air I If ouly for a short
time it would dress in every-day clothes,
and shake hands as plain people do, and
not at once assume a dismal tone as soon
as it begins to talk !

there are several bids near together, the
one made by the most reliable party L
accepted, it need not be the lowest bid.

them. Alter a bid is accepted, a bora!
for one-half the amount of the bid is pre
pared and signed, and the work is begun .
always under the supt rvision of an ..Nicer
appointed by the government. Jn large
buildings it is customary to make sepa
rate contracts for foundation, superstruc
ture, interior finishing, healing, am!

thing
n we think of it
When we are told that nearly i;oo,OOi
parents nave oeen issueu ny the i nitei;
States since dd, we wonder what then
is left uninvented. It seems as though
every possible field has been thorough
ly worked ; yet every year nearly lift
thousand new applications are filed in
the Patent Ofliec, and half of these ma
ture into patents. One-half of the pat
ents granted by the Government have
been issued w ithin the past fifteen years,
and the Goddess of Invention still
numbers her devoted followers by the
legion.
The publication of an important
scientific discovery, the passage of an
act of Congress requiring street cars to
employ fenders, or steam ears to use
automatic brakes or safety coupling de
vices, or a sudden fad of fashion, w ill
flood the Patent Ollice with hundreds (f
applications by Yankee geniuses who
are seeking sudden wealth.
A few examples of this furor may be
i given : Some thirteen or fourteen vears

being that w hich God requires. God put
nothing edited or ethereal or strange in
the requirements which He makes. He
takes the thing that is first in business
i;d tjptkes it, lirst in religion. He wants
you to have faith in your fellowman ; you
curuiot live without it, you cannot move
through a single hour's work without it.
God wants you to have faith in Him ; you
cannot come to Christ without tt, you
cannot take a single f top in the Christian
ivy y with out it.
Faith and

but faiih srn.nus at its side. Faith i t: e
hungry child that knocks at the door;
love is the sweet child welcomed into
the home. Faith iiays; love praises
Faith takes the gift that is offered ; love
gives of itself in payment for the gift.
Faith plants the seed ; love makes the --eed
to blossom and to grow. Faith brings
down the snow and the rain from heaven
upon the thirsty ground; love gives back
the harvest to the Giver of all good.
A mother has two sons. The. one is
dis,olute, abandoned, depraved; the
other is devoted and loving and kind.
The mother loves theui both. She does
everything for tiie wayward son that
she may bring him back'. Hhe prays for
him, she shows many acts of aftection
toward hiun. She loves him because he
is her son. She clings to him with the
God-like clasp of mother-love. She
loves botli sons ; but in the second son
she trust?, she has faith in him. He is
to her a nohle specimen of manhood;
his word to her is law, he speaks
ind she lovingly obeys. She goes to
him in counsel. His love puts her in
his power. Faith thus makes the reai
surrender. Faith throws out haughti
ness and pride. Faith enthrones the one
whom we love in our hearts. No sus
picious thought, no anxious fear, no
hesitating mood. Ob, what a thing thus
to trust iu Jesus ! Oh, what a thing to

1L'TIE3 Olf THE ARCHITECTS OF THE
TREASURY .DEPARTMENT. HOW" THE
I'UHLIC BUILDINGS ARE ERECTED AND
MAINTAINED.
Every Congress is asked to appropriate
money to construct government build
ings for use as posteffiees, customs and
revenue offices.and federal court houses.
More than 300 such buildings have al
ready been constructed and are now .in
use.
The duty of planning, erecting and
maintaining these buildings devolves
upon a special officer, known as the Ar
chitect of the Treasury Department. He
has a force of about 150 assistants, bat
sprang up
like mushrooms in every city and large
town in the country. Improvements
were made in roller skates and applica
tions for patents poured into the ollice
in a deluge. Tiie examiner who had
charge of '-Games and Toy?," as one of
many classes, had to set one-third of his
examining force at work on roller skates,
auu lo get toe use oi an extra room to
hold the drawings and fiies. After a
few months of activity the craze died out
and the applications suddenly dropped
off. Now all this is ancient history and
roller skating is a '-lost art.''
A lew years later on account of the
great number of railroad accidents in
which the car stoves set fire to the
wrecked cars and burned to death un
fortunate victims who might otherwise
have been saved, the New Y'ork legis
lature passed an act requiring all cars,
after a certain date, to be provided with
heating means other than open stoves.
The inventors responded right loyally
and rushed to the Patent Ollice with all
conceivable sorts of heaters, using hot
air, hot water, steam and chemicah.-
Five years ago go many thousand pat
ents had been granted for bicycles, that
it seemed as though ingenuity could
produce no further Improvement. Then
the pneumatic tire was introduced and a
new field was opened. At the present
time thisj is the moat active line in the
whole realm ,of invention, and the di
vision of the Patent Office; which han
dies bicycles and attachments is almost
swamped with work, reporting each
week from a thousand to twelve hundred
applications awaiting action.
Some time ago Mr Maxim published
in one of our leading majgazines an
account of the results he has obtained in
experimenting with his air ship, and at
about the same time the daily press pub
lished glowing accounts of what Prof
Langley, of the Smithsonian Institute
had done or could do in the same line.
This was enough to fire the imagina
tions of scores of inventors, and the
usual result followed.
The most active field, after bicycles,
at present is probably the horseless
carriage. The experimenting in France,
and the offers of magnificent cash prizes
by a leading Chicago paper and a lead
ing New Tork magazine, have created a
very great activity among professional
inventors, and it looks as if between the j We are anxious to do a little good In
