Manufacturers, such as those who take the corn and turn it into fooi, or the silk or the flax and turn it into clothing. Traders, those who which profit by the transfer or exchange of that is pro duced or manufactured. Now, a business man may all belong to any ’ Whatever one of these be classes, or to of them. your avocation—if j-ou havo to plan "and calculate and bargain—if into your life there conic annoyances, vexations, exasperations, disappointments, dividends—if as well as gains, percent ages and you are harassed with multiplicity from Monday of occupation morning ; in other words, if until Saturday night, driven and from relentless January to January you are by duty and obliga tion, then yon are a business man or a business woman, and my subject this morning is especially appropriated to your case. There is an idea abroad that business life is a sort of prison in which a man is in carcerated, or it is a strife into which he goes sometimes half armed. But I shall sho w you this morning, if God will help me, that busi ness be divinely life is a glorious aided 1 education, will and if X shall rub somo of the wrinkles from your brow and unstrap some of the burdens from your back, Do you know that the time is coming when the religion of Jesus Christ is going to take entire possession of the business world? Two rivals in busiues did each other as much harm as they could for many years. They were iu the same line of busines and on the same street. Aft r a while one of them was converted to God. and he immediately csked himself: -‘Now, how shall I treat my rival? Well,” him be this said to When himself, “I will treat in wuy: a man comes to my store aud wants a style of goods that I have not, 111 send him over to my rival.” A very hard thing to do. But the gra m of God will help a man do anything that is right. in So the plan found was carried out, and this rival business customers coming frdhi the other store and asked about it, aud found that they were recommended by his old rival. .So lie called on him, and said: “Hows this? tVe warred against each other for many years, and now I hear yon are sending certain me customers. Those who cannot get styles of goods in your store you are sending to mine.” Then the rival told him how he bad been converted by the grace of God, and he had lea rned the law of kindness and loveanilgenerosity, and then weeks they before shook the hands, other and it was not many man came into the they Kingdom did of business God, and in for many years prosperity and Christian quietude kindness aud on the same street. Aud that principle is going to submerge the whole earth, perhaps not in your day nor mine,but it will come ascertain ly as there is a God in Heaven, ami the Gos nations. pel of Jesus Christ do is to triumph over all If wo not see it perhaps our children wdl sc-oit. But, taking things as they are, I want to show you, in the first place, that business life is a school ior Christian energy. God starts us iu the world with a certain amount of raw mate rial out of which we are to hew ourcharac ter.- rounded, kvery sharpened faculty needs to be reset, up. After our young folks have graduated lrom schools and col leges and universities they have to have a higher by the collisions education, and which the they can only get raspings of every day life. Energy of character is wrought out only iu the fire. Af^er businessmen have been in these adversities ten, twenty or thirty years, they have an energy which cannot bo meas- j ured scale by weights height. or ladders It or plummets. It cau depth. It any thrash obstacle. can plummet any ian any Now, oh business man, you have in this school of active life gained a great deal of energy. Why has God put development you in that school, and why has this gone on? Merely that build you large may gain more dol- , lars and fortunes aud spend your day’s higgling and dialling? All, no. God intended yon to bring atl that energy into his service. What would occur in these cities if all the business talent were . brought into the Kingdom of God! Do you 1 not know that in many of our churches the i vast majority of work is being done by those ! who have not had any especially opportunity, i while in all our churches there is a vast amount of energy settling into comparative idleness, i Tho deepest streams do not seem to be turning the mill wheel or hauling on factory bands. | Do you not know that God demands the best i lainb out of every flock: the richest sheaf [ out of every harvest: the best men of every generation, Locke and Mansfield and surely, 1 in Newton a cause in which ; be eugaged.you and an Ineed notbeashamed were firoud to \ to invest our interest. Oh. for fewer idlers ! and for more workers. Oh, that the itn mense, the almost infinite busiuess energy o f j these cities m*"ht be consecrated to God. : I remark further that business life is a • school for Christian patience.

Their libraries are established in tho same way as when in Lngland a library was to be established and a Secretary wrote to a bo >k seller: “Send my master six feet of theology an< i about as much metaphysics and some thing like u yard of old civil law." And yet, though they as a compelled class ilo not by read many style books, they are their °f \'f 0 *° intelligence.

Trailers in fruits are compelled to bo intelligent in regard to the prospects of tropical fruits. Manufacturers of American goods are compelled to be intelligent in regard to tho tariff on imported artrries. The question that I want to pre ent to you this morning is. have you applied your intelligence in the Christian direction? Trailing with foreign lands, are you n >t interested in foreign mis sious! Understanding how in lmsinoss there is so much fraud and chicanery and double dealing, are Christ you eradi- advo eating the Gospel of Jesus to cate all wrong and irradiate all darkness and correct all mistakes and up lift all wretchedness!

In the city of New York a yopng man was selling good;, and after hn had sold a silk dress to a lady he said; “Madame, I feel bound that silk.” to tell “Why," you that there is a fracture in she said, *‘then I don t waut it.” She d - parted without the goods. The head man of the firm came and said: “What was that customer wanting?” “Well,” but the other bound re plioi. “sho bought this dross, I felt to tell her there was a fracture in tho silk, so she went off without it.” The business man then .went into his counting room and wrote a letter to the young man’s father in the country: “Come to town quickly and take vour boy.” The old farmer came down to the city in great agita tion, wondering v.liat his boy had boon doing, and ha went into tho store, and the head innu of the firm recited all the circum stances and said: “Your son will never make a merchant.” The old farmer said: “Is that all!

God will never lot a young man like that siller, Oh, how hard sometimes it is to take the straight path when so many are divergent, And yet there are those. I believe they are inthe majority. I believe there is a higher style of commercial ethics than over before, and I believe they are in tho inn jority, the men who can say: “I never mis state imperfection the value of in goods, fabric.
