DR.TALMAGE’S SERMON The Eminent Divine’s Sunday Discourse. \ Subject- Lnlgen and Bibles—There is No War Between Keligion and Business— Kighteousuess is a Be-enforceinent and Not a Hindrance in Life's Adairs. [Copyright, Louis Klopsch. 134*9.1 Washington, D. C.—ln this discourse Dr. Talmuge argues that religion may be taken into all the affairs of life and instead ot being a hindrance, as many think, is a re enforcement. The text is Romans xii., 11: ‘■Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.” Industry, devoutness and Christian ser vice-all commended in that short text. What! Is it possible that they shall be con joined? Oh, yes! There is no war between religion and business, between ledgers and Bibles, between ohurehes and counting houses. On the contrary, re ligion accelerates business, sharpens men’s wits, sweetens acerbity of disposition, fillips the blood of phlegmatics and throws more velocity into the wheels of hard ■work. It gives better balancing to the judgment, more strength to the will, more muscle to industry aud throws into enthu siasm a more consecrated fire. You cannot in all the circle of the world show me a man whose Jionnst business has been de spoiled by religion. The indu-trial classes are divided into three groups—producers, manufacturers, traders. Producers, such as farmers and miners. Manufacturers, such as those who turn corn into food aud wool and flax into apparel. Traders, such as make profit out of the transfer and exchange of all that which is produced and manufactured. A business man may belong to any one or all of these classes, and not one is indepen dent of any other. M hen the prince imperial of France fell on the Zulu battlefield because the strap fastening the stirrup to the saddle broke as he clung to it, his comrades all escap ing, but he falling under the lances of the savages, a great many people blamed tbe empress for allowiug her son to go forth into that battlefield, and others blamed tbe English Government for accepting the sacrifice, and others blamed the Zulus for their barbarism. Tbe one most to blame was the harness maker who fashioned that strap of the stirrup out of shoddy and imperfeot material, as it was found to have been afterward. If the strap had held, the prince imperial would probably have been alive to-day. But the strap broke. No prince independent of a harness maker! High, low,wise, ignorant, you in one occupation, I in another, all bound together. So that there must be one continuous line of sympathy with each other’s work. But whatever your vocation, if you have a multiplicity of engagements, if into your life there come losses and an noyances and' perturbations as well as per centages and dividends, If you are pursued lrom Monday morniug until Saturday night and from January to January by inexor able obligation and duty, then you are a business man, or you are a business wom an, and my subject is appropriate to your case. We are under the impression that the moil and tug of business life are a prison into which a man is thrust or that it is an unequal strife where unarmed a man goes forth to contend. I shall show you this morning that business life was intended of God for grand and'glorious education and discipline, and if X shall be helped to say what I want to say I shall rub some of the wrinkles of care out of your brow and un strap some of the burdens from your back. I am not talking of an abstraction. Though never having been in busiue9s life, I know all about business men. In my first parish at Belleville, 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 wont to Philadelphia and lived long among the merchants of that city, than whom there are no better men on earth, and for twenty-live years I stood in my Brooklyn pulpit, Sabbath by Sabbath, preaching to audiences the majority of whom were busiuess men and business women. It is not an abstraction of which I speak, but a reality with.which l am well acquainted. In the first place, I remark that business life was intended as a school of energy. God gives us a certain amount of raw ma terial out of which we are to hew our character. Our faculties are to be reset, rounded and sharpened up. Our young folks having graduated from school or col lege need a higher education, that which the rasping and collision of everyday life alone can effect. Energy Is wrought out only in the lire. After a man has been in business activity ten, twenty, thirty 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 school of energy? Was it merely that you might he a yardstick to measure cloth or a steelyard to weigh flour? Was it merely that you might be better qualified to chaffer and higgle? No. God placed you in that school of energy that you might be developed for Christian work. If the un developed talents in the Christian churches of to-day were brought out and thoroughly harnessed, I believe the whole earth would be converted to Goa in a twelvemonth. There are sc many deep streams that are turning no mill wheels and that are har nessed-to no factory bands. Now, God demands the best lamb out of every flock. He demands the richest sheaf of every harvest. He demands the best men of every generation. A cause iu which Newton and Locke and Mansfield toiled you and lean afford to toll in. Ob, for fewer idlers in the cause of Christ and for more Christian workers, men who shall take the same energy that from Monday morning to Saturday night they put forth for the achievement of a livelihood or the gathering of a fortune and on Sabbath days put it forth to the advantage of Ghrist’s kingdom and the bringing of men to the Lerd. Dr. Duff visited a man who had inheri ted a great fortune. The man said to him: “I had to be very busy for many years of my iife getting my livelihood. After a while this fortune oatue to me and there has been no necessity that 1 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 occupa tion?’ ” He said: “I resolved on the latter, and I have been more indus trious in commercial 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 pro ducts or my factories and my commercial establishments to the last farthiDg have gone for the building of Christian institu tions and supporting the church of God.” Would that the same energy put forth Tor the world could be put forth for God. Would that a thousand men in these great *itles who have achieved a fortune could #ee it their duty now to do all business for Christ and the alleviation of the world’s suffering! Again, X remark that business life is a school of patience. In your everyday life how maDy tilings to annoy and to disquiet? Bargains will rub. Commercial men will sometimes fail to meet their engagements. Cash book and money drawer will some times quarrel. Goods ordered for a special emergency will come too 1' Y£ r be dam aged in the transportation. e intend ing no harm w'V go ihoppii,'if r Vut any intention ' vjt •base, ovf-‘ kA. great Stocg^ Will truthfullßM 'ij|'l I 1 i 1 i 1 i, 1 1, ' l li'i V. 7„\_ 'j .vh . i’’’. r| ,>• J| 1 M - - •-1 "I' -to - ' - ' ri ■ i-i-" th^l^Bßlilllilll|M in:- cn;v !ia\ ■ * 'i.'.-a a at. *s■ i member a tim- when tne funds of a bank, or judgment, or made a false assign'mSHKir porrowed inimitably without any NBrts at payment, or got a man into" a sharp corner and fleeced him. But they never took one step on that pathway of hell fir*. They can say their prayers without hear ing tbe chink of dishonest dollars. Can read their Bible without thinking of the time when with a lie on their soul iu the custom house they kissed the book. They can think of death and the judgment that comes after It without any flinching— that day when all charlatans and cheats and jockeys and frauds shall be doubly damned. What a school of integrity business life is! If you have ever been tempted to let your integrity cringe before present ad vantages, if you have ever wakened up in some embarrassment aud 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 eter nity. A merchant in Liverpool got a £5 Bank of England note, and, holding it toward the light, he saw some interlineations in what seemed red ink. He finally de ciphered the letters and found out that the writing had been made by a slave in Al giers saying in substance, “Whoever gets this bank note will please to inform my brother, John Dean, living near Carlisle, that I am a slave ot the bey of Algiers.” The merchant sent word, employed Gov ernment officers and found who this man was spoken of in this bank note. After awhile the man was rescued, who for eleven years lyid been a slave of the bey ot Algiers. He was immediately emancipated, but was so worn out by hardship and ex posure he soon after died. Oh, if some of the bank bills that oome through your hands could tell all the scenes through which they have passed it would be a tragedy eclipsing any drama of Shakes peare, mightier than King Lear or Mac bet hi Plato and Aristotle were so opposed to merchandise that they declared commoroe to be the curse of the nations, and they ad vised that cities be built at least ten mila3 from the sea coast. But you and I know that there are no more industrious or high minded men than those who move in the world of traffic. Some of them carry bur dens heavier than hods ot Driok, and are exposed to sharper things than the east wind, and climb mountains higher than the Alps or Himalayas, and if they are faithful Christ will at last say to them: “Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” We talk about the martyrs of the Pied mont valley, and the martyrs among the Scotch highlands, and the martyrs at Ox ford. There are just as certainly martyrs of Wall street and State street, martyrs of Fulton street and Broadway, martyrs of Atlantic street and Chestnut street, going through hotter fires or having their necks under sharper axes. Then It behooves us to banish all fretfulness from our lives, if this subject be true. We look back to the time when we were at school, and we re member the rod. and we remember the hard tasks, and we complained grievously, but now wo see it was for the best. Busi ness life is a school, and the tasks are hard, and the chastisements sometimes are very grievous; but do not complain, 'file hotter the fire the better the refining. There are men before the throne of God this day in triumph who on earth were cheated out of everything hut their coffin. They were sued, they wore imprisoned for debt, they were throttled by constables with a whole pack of writs, they were sold out by the sheriffs, they had to comprom ise with their creditors, they had to make assignments. Their dying hours were an noyed by the sharp ringing of the door bell by some impetuous creditor who thought it was outrageous and impudent that a man should dare to die before he paid the last half dollar. I had a friend who had many misfor tunes. Everything went against him. He bad good business capacity and was of the best of morals, but he was one of those men such as you have sometimes seen, for whom everything seems to go wrong. His life became to him a plague. When I heard he was dead, I said, “Good, got rid of the sheriffsl” Who are those lustrous souls before the throne? When the ques tion is asked, “Who are they?” the angels standing^on the sea of glass respond, “These are they who came out of great business trouble and had bad their robes washed and made white In the blood of the Lamb.” A man arose in Fulton street prayer meet ing and said: “I wish publicly to acknowl edge the goodness of God. I was in busi ness trouble. I had money to pay, and I had no means to pay it, and I was iu 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 see 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 they paid me was six times what I owed.” You say it only happened so? You are un believing. Go(T answered that man’s prayer. un, you want pusmess grace: com mercial ethics, business honor, laws of trade are all very good in their place, but tbere are times when you waut something more than this world will give you. You want God. For the lack of Him some that you have known have consented to forge, and to maltreat 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 v.ery same stress of cir cumstances triumphant. There are men here to-day who fought the battle and gained the victory. People come out of 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 would flashed through the show windows. Love to God and love to man presided In that storehouse. Some day people going through the street notloe that the shutters of the window are not down. The bar of that store door has not been removed. People say, ‘‘What is the matter?” You go up a little closer and you see written on the card of that window, “Closed on account of the death of one of the firm.” That day all through the circles of 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 god ly man ceaseth.” He has made his last bargain, he has suffered his last loss, he has ached with his last fatigue. His chil dren will get the result of his Industry, or, If through misfortune there be no dollars left, they will have an estate of prayer and Christian example, which will be everlast ing. Heavenly rewards for earthly dis cipline. There “the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.” First Lassoed sod Then jgSgPfTied to Trees. JHpVfVoplc of the Reindeer" is the Under which Jonas Startling rte- in the Century a visit to a BKplanrt camp. A pisturesque account Is given of the milking of the reln raeer: Placing ourselves on both sides of the entrance to the lnclosure, at some distance, we stopped to wait for the heM. Looking In the direction from whiVh the barking was heard, we ob served on the summit of the nearest mountain ridge, against the horizon, something like a moving thicket, car ried, as it were, by a swift current down the mountain-side. Soon we dis tinguished the graceful forms of hun dreds of reindeer, as they, with elastic motions, leaping and bounding, came tearing down toward the camp, the dogs stretching like ropes along the ground on each side of the herd to keep it together. We crouched behind stones nnd bushes so as not to fright en the half wild animals. With a good deal of running, gesturing and shout ing, the herd was finally brought into the inclosure, only a few of the wild est animals escaping over the fell, past some of the little children. Rushing into the inclosure in au un broken stream of more than a thous and animals, the herd did not cease running,—the reindeer is always on the move, except at its regular resting times, —but continued in a circle against the sun. The reindeer in these circular motions always.runs against the sun; if it runs with it, it is a sign of disease of the brain. Iu the midst of the reindeer, leaping, bounding and butting in a friendly way, while giv ing out their peculiar grunting sound, the picturesque figures of our Lap ponian friends were seen, surrounded by a thicket of horns. Our hostess, having hung her ba’ y to a birch in the middle of the inclosure, stood, like a number of other women, mostly girls, with a wooden scoop in her hand ready to milk the first of the female reindeer caught; while at the outskirts of the inclosure stood a number of children with large pails to receive the milk from the scoops, the smaller chil dren either running about playing out side the camp, or giving salt and an gelica to the tamest animals. The most important actors on the scene, however, were the men moving about slowly in the midst of the "herd, hold ing the lasso behind their hack >n the right hand, and looking sharply at the running animals. As quick as lightning a lasso whizzed through the air, the frightened animals recoiling and then increasing their speed. When the lasso hit the mark, the cow was hauled in, and tied to a birch while the milking was done. So they kept on for nearly two hours. The quantity of milk yielded by each animal is very small, at the most about a teacupful, hut it is of very nutritive quality. The milk ing, which is by no means regular, is done, if possible, once a day. In win ter-time there is of course no milking. To prevent the calves from sucking their mothers, pieces of hone are tied into their mouths, or the udders are j htr-smeared with tar. Some of the { Lapps consider it sinful to milk the ! reindeer and thus deprive the calves of j their food. His Cleverness. Vice-Chancellor Bacon had an anti pathy for one member of the inner bar practicing before him. This man’s services were not much in demand, for, although his ability and knowledge of law were undoubted, be was apt to look at a case from an impractical point of view, and not to make the most of its best points. It was com monly said of him that he had a twist in his mind. When this man was about sixty years old, some one re marked to the judge that he was very clever. “Yes,” said the old man, slow ly and judicially, "he is a very elever young man,” and, after a pause, he added: “If he swallowed a nail, he would vomit a screw.”—The Argonaut, The Poor Ones.

Stewart go to the wall in 189 G, with liabilities of $2,539,907, the failure was attributed 1 to the fact that Judge Hilton ceased | to patronize the advertising columns | of the newspapers through which the mammoth business was built up. The Chicago Times-Herald, noticing j this fact, shows that Stewart never j ceased to beau advertiser. The notices j and announcements of what he had j on sale constantly appeared iu the uewspapers. He never thought he was too rich, or that his business was too well established to get along without advertising. Up to his last days his business was constantly kept before the public. After his death the ad vertising stopped or was conducted iu a feeble and spasmodic way. The Times-Herald says: , It ceased to lead because under Judge Hilton’s management it ceased to advertise. Judge Hilton was a shrewd legal and commercial adviser and hard worker, but no advertiser. He thought the reputatiou of the house of A. T. Stewart would continue ! to be its own advertisement. But j that was where he was mistaken. There were rivals in the field who i were quick to see the opening left I when Judge Hilton changed the firm | name to E. J. Denning & Cos., and theu to Hilton, Hughes & Cos. Hilton did nothing to counteract the advertis ing of his rivals until they crowded him from the markets, and iu 1896 j the firm went to the wall, with liabili ties amounting to $2,539,907, and no i available assets. To this pass had the attempt to do business without constant and shrewd advertising reduced the greatest dry goods concern known in the United States twenty years ago. A. T. Stewart knew his business, and Henry Hilton knew his business. But the business of Stewart was dry goods and that of Hilton was law. The one demands publicity, the other can be transacted best, in a back office. In keeping the A. T. Stewart bargains in silks and cotton goods out of print, Hilton secured privacy in that line, but killed the goose that laid the Stewart golden egg. His First Attempt.

A Prussian Military Experiment A regiment of Prussian artillery, quartered at Glogau, In Silesia, has been carrying out some interesting ex periments In taking guns across the Oder. Three barrels were fastened to the axle of each wheel, and another at the pole, in such a way as not to Inter fere with the immediate use of ths guns on land. Arriving at the bank, the horses were detached, and the guns were pushed into the water and guided across by the rest of the soldiers, who also looked after the horses In the wa ter.
