Sunlight of God’s favor.
Now. what is such a man to do? In the >
name of almighty God. I will tell him
what to do. l>o as Jonathan did —climb;
climb up Into the sunlight of God's favor
iind consolation. 1 can go through the
churches and show you men who lust for- ’
tune and health at the same time, and yet
who sing all day and dream of heaven all
night. If you have tiny idea that sound

Way,i of the World.
Again, that man is in the crisis of the
text who has home troubles and outside
persecution at the same time The world
treats a man well just as long as it pays
to treat Kim well. As long as it can man- i
ufiicture success out of his bone and brain
and muscle it favors him The world fat
tens the horse it wants to drive. But let
a man see it his duty to cross the track of
the world, then every bush Is full of horns
and tusks thrust at him. They will be- !
little him. They will caricature him.

The very worst persecution will sometimes
come ujxm him from those who profess to
lx- Christians.
John Milton—great and good John Mil
ton so far forgot himself as to pray In so
many words that his enemies might be
eternally thn-wn down into the darkest
and deepest gulf of hell, and be the under
most and m<.-t dejected, and the lowest
down vassals ->f perdition And Martin
Luther so far forgot hiin-a ls as to any in
regard to his theological opponents, “Put
them in whatever sauce you please, roast
ed or fri-xl or i-aktsi or stewed or boiled or
hashed they are nothing but asses!” Ah,
my friends. If John Milton or Martin
Luther could come down tz> such scurril
ity what may you not cxfx-ct from less
elevated opponents? Now, sometimes the
world takes as;« r them, the now-papers
take after them, public opinion takes after
them, arid the unfortunate man is lied
alx-ut until all tie- dictionary of Blllings
g. to is exhauxti'd on him You often see
a man whom you know to be good and
pun- and honest, set uj>on by the world
»n<l mauled by whole communities, while
vicious men take on a supercilious air in
condemnation of him. as though Lord
Jeffreys should write an essay on gentle
ness or Henry VIII talk about purity or
King Henxi take to blessing little chil
dren.
Persecution Is an Inspiration.
Now, a certain amount of persecution
rouses a man’s defiance, stirs his blood for
magnificent buttle and makes him 50 times
morn a man than he would have been
without the persecution. So it was with
the great reformer when ho wild, "I will
not be put down, 1 will be heard.” And
so it was with Millard, the preacher, in
the time of Ixmis XI When Louis X I sent
word to him that unless he stopped preach
ing in that style he would throw him into
th-- riv- r he replied, “T,-l! the king that 1
will n-iii-h heaven sootier by water than he
will reach it by fast horne» ” A certain
timount of persecution is a tonic and in
spiration, but too much of it, and too long
continued becomes the rock Bozez throw
ing a dark shadow over a man’s life
What, is he to do then? Go home, you say
Good advice, that. That is just tho place
for u man to go when the world abuses
him Go home Blessed bo God for our
quiet and sympathetic homes! But there
is many a man who has the reputation of
having a home, w hen he has none Through
unthlnkingnees or precipitation there are
many mutches made that ought never to
hove been made An officiating priest
cannot alone unite a couple The Ixtrd
Almighty must prix-hiim banns. 'There
tire many homes tn which t here is no sym
pathy und no happiness mid no good cheer.
Tho clamor of the battle may not have
been heard out-side, but God knows, not
withstanding al) the playing of the wed
ding march, and all tho odor of the
orange blossoms, and the benediction of
the officiating pastor, there has been no
marriage. So sone times men have awak
ened to ibid on one side of them the rock
of persecution and on tho other side of
t hem the reck of domes! ic infelicity What
shall such u one do? Do as Jonathan did
—climb Get up the heights of God’s con
solation, from which you may look down
in triumph upon outside persecution and
home trouble While good and great John
Wesley was being silenced iiy the magis
trates and having his name written on the
board fences of London in doggerel, at
that very Lime his wife was making him
as miserable .is she could acting as though
she were posse-si it hy tho devil, as I sup
pose she was. never doing him a kindness
until the day she run away, so that ho
wrote in his diary these words: “1 did not
forsake her I have not dismissed her. I
will not recall her.” Planting one foot
upon outside {H-rsecution and tho other
foot on homo trouble, John Wesley climb
ed u]i into the heights of Christian joy,
and after preaching 40,000 sermons and
traveling 270,000 miles reached t he heights
of beavon, though in this world he had it
hard enough—“a sharp reckon the one
side and a sharp roek on the other.”
Despairing Women.
Again, that woman stands in the crisis
of the text who has bereavement and a
struggle for n livelihood at the same time.
Without mentioning names, I speak from
observation. Ah, it is a hard tiling for a
woman to make an honest living, even
when her heart is not troubled, und she
lias a fair cheek, anti the magnetism of an
exquisite presence But now the husband
or the father is dead The expenses of the
obsequies have absorbed all that was left
in tho savings bank, anil, wan and wasted
with weeping and watching, she goes
forth—a grave, a hearse, a coffin behind
her—to contend for her existence and tho
exlsteuce of her children When 1 see such
a buttle as that open, 1 shudder at the
ghastliness of the spectacle. Men sit with
embroidered slippers and write heartless
essays about women's wages, but that
question is made up of tears and blood,
and there is more blood than tears Oh,
give woman free access to all the realms
where she can get a livelihood, from tho
telegraph office to the pulpit! Lot men’s
wages bo cut down before hers are cut
down Men have iron in their souls and
can stand it. Make the way free to her of
the broken heart May God put into my
hand the cold, hitter cup of privation, and
give me nothing but a vviudowless hut for
shelter for many years rather than that
after I tun dead there should go out from
my home into the pitiless world a wom
an’s arm to fight the Gettysburg, tho Aus
terlitz, the Waterloo of life for broad I And
yet how many women there are seated be
tween tho rxtk of bereavement on the one
ride and the rock of destitution on the
other! Bozez and Seneh interlocking their
shadows and dropping them upon her mis
erable way. “There is a sharp rock on the
one side and a sharp roek on the other
side. ’ ’
What are such tod i? Somehow lot them
-.•limb up into the ivights of the glorious
promise: “Leave thy f.ith-?; n-children.
1 will preserve them alive mid let thy
widows trust- in me.” Or get up into tho
heights of that oihur glork us promise,
“The Lord prvserveth the stronger and re
lievetli the widow and th-- fatherless.” U
ye sewing women on starving wages! O
ye widows turned out from the once beau
tiful home' Oye female teachers kept on
niggardly stipend! Oy- despairing wom
en seeking in vain for work, wandering
along the dix ks and thinking to throw
yourselves into the river last night! Oyo
women of weak nerves, und m-inng sides,
and short breath, and broken heart, you
need something more than human sym
pathy You netxi the sympathy of God.
Climb up into his arms He knows it all,
and he loves you more than father or
mother or husband ever could or ever did,
and instead of sitting down, wringing
your hands in despair, you had better lie
gin to climb There are heights of conso
lation for you, though now “there is a
sharp rook on one side and a sharp reek
on the other side. “
The Sharpest of All Rocks.
Again, that man is in the crisis of the
text who has a wasted life on the one side
and an unilluminated eternity on the oth
er Though a man may all his life have
cultured deliberation and seif poise, if he
gi ts into that position ail his self posses
sion is gone. There are all the wrong
thoughts of his existence, all the wrong
deeds, all the wrong words—strata above
strata, granitic, ponderous, overshadow
ing That reck I call Bozez On the oth
er side are all the retributions of the fu
ture. the thrones of judgment, the eternal
ages, angry with his long defiance. That
rock 1 call Seneh Between these two
rocks 10,000 times 10,000 have perished.
O man immortal, man redeemed, man
bhxxi bought, climb up out of those shad
ows 1 Climb up by the way of the cross.
Have your wasted life forgiven Have
your eternal life secured. This hour just
take one look to the past and see what it
has been, and take one look to the future
and see what it threatens to be You can
afford to lose your health, you can afford
to lose your property, you can afford to
lose your reputation, but you cannot afford
to lose your soul That bright, gleaming,
glorious, precious, eternal possession you
must carry aloft in the day when the
earth burns up and the heavens burst.
You see from my subject that when a
man gets into the safety and peace of the
gospel he does not demean himself. There
Is nothing In religion that leads to mean
ness or unmanliness The gospel of Jesus
Christ only asks you to climb as Jonathan
did—climb toward God,climb toward heav
en, climb into the sunshine of God’s favor.
To become a Christian is not to go meanly
down. It is to come gloriously up—up

REVENUE DECISION.
Demand Notes Are Taxable at Same Rate
as Chechs.
Two revenue decisions of interest have
been received from Commissioner Scott.
One fr- in reference to demand notes, which
was asked for by. several brokers and
bankers in the city. The commissioner
has ruled that demand notes, other than
notes intended for circulation, are subject
to the same tax and promissory notes, or
two cents for each SIOO and two cents ad
ditional for each SIOO or fraction over that
amount. Partial payments of interest or
principal are not deemed as renewals, un
less a demand for the full payment has
been made by the holder.
Another decision is based upon a deed
of release. The commissioner holds that
a deed of release, although releasing from
mortgae liens only a portion of the prop
erty mortgaged, is a quit claim deed and
is subject to the tax.
A decision which interests the manufac
turers of tobacco has been received and is
as follows:
“The special tax imposed on manufac
turers of cigars, is to be computed in the
basis of the annual sales for the preceding
fiscal year. While persons who are only
dealers in leaf tobacco, and who are sub
ject to the special tax imposed therefor,
these persons are advised thiat they should
qualify as manufacturers of cigars, and in
ease they assort, size, cut and clan their
material in such -a manner, that it becomes
merchantable and manufactured tobaooo;
or granulated tobacco, they will be re
quired to properly pack, label and stamp
all such merchantable manufactured to
bacco before the same is removed from the
factory, as such product cannot be sold in
bulk as material, and without payment of
tax by one manufacturer directly to an
other manufacturer, and 'before a special
permit for transfer of material in such
eases is issued, the collector should be
satisfied that the same is not marchant
able manufactured tobacco, the process of
manufacture of which has been com
pleted.”

CANOVAS’SOUL
Requiem Mass Io Be Said for It in New
York City.
New York, August 15—-Calmly ignoring
the war manual, Alfredo Casal, a native
of Ecuador, now living in Flushing, L. 1.,
has invited by means of an advertisement,
"Spaniards, Spanish-Americans and all
friends of Spain” to attend a requiem mas«
tomorrow at St. Francis Xavier’s church
‘■for the repose of the soul of the distin
guished Spanish statesman, Antonio Can
ovas del Castillo, assassinated August 8,
1897.”
In his simplicity Casal lost sight of the
faot that it might prove an invidious thing
for anybody to appear in public here as a
professed “friend of Spain.” Casal is an
elderly man and said to be wealthy. He
has no quarrel with the United States.

NOT A DISGRACE
To File Petition in Bankruptcy Under the
*New Law.
Since the first bankruptcy petition was
filed many people have beea . making
further inquiries as to the good and bad
results of filing such a paper.
Os course a great deal has been pub
lished on the subject, but it has been most
ly in legal phraseology and may not have
been as clear as a bell to everybody.
Is it a disgrace, or in ocher words, how
is a person looked on who files such a pe
tition? was one of ohe questions asked to
day by a certain party.
As answer, it may be said it is not a
stigma on character. Os course, creditors
may look on the matter in a different light
from the general public, for in the par
lance of the day, “they lose" by the peti
tion, unless the bankrupt, when he is in
a position to pay does the right thing and
settles with his creditors. While he is iu
the position of being willing, but without
means, and can see no means coming in
the near future of settling his indebted
ness, he does a perfectly legitimate and
strictly moral thing in filing a petition to
be adjudged a bankrupt.
If he did not he could pay anyway and
eo it is that the filing only relieves tfae
strain on him and allows him a new start
In the business world.
Now, how would one go about becoming
a bankrupt? Take a case where a person
after having exhausted al! resources to
wards settling his indebtedness, finds he
is in no way of cancelling the debts. He
would then hire a lawyer and have a
bankruptcy petition drawn up. Here’s
where a fee comes in. greater or less, ac
cording as the case may be.
