A Sermon Directed to the Great Army of Men and Women Employed as Clerks in the Various Occupations— Words of Advice and Encouragement. Text: “And u certain woman named Lydia, Ttyatira, a seller of purple, of tho city of which worshiped God, heard us, whose heart the Lord opened.”—Acts xvi., 14. “Seest thou n man diligent in his busi¬ ness? He shall stand before Kings.” Proverbs xxii., 29. The first passage introduces t» you Lydia, a Christian merchantess. Her busi¬ ness is to deal in purple cloths or silks. She is not a giggling nonentity, but a prac¬ tical woman, not ashamed to work for her living. All the other women of Philippi and Thvatira have been forgotten, but (rod has made immortal In our text Lydia, the Christian saleswoman. The other text shows yon a man with bead and hand and heart and foot all busy toiling on up until he gains a princely success. “Seest thou a man diligent in ids business? He shall stand before kings.” Great encouragement in these two pas¬ sages for men and women who will ho busy, but no solace for those who are waiting for good luck to show them, at the foot of the rainbow, a casket of buried gold. It is folly for anybody in this world to wait for something to turn up. It will turn down. The law of thrift is as inexorable as the law of the tides. Fortune, the magician, may wave her wand in that direction until castles and palaces come, hut she will after a while invert the samo wand, and ail the splendors will vanish into thin air. There are certain styles of behavior which lead to usefulness, honor and per¬ manent success, and there are certain styles of behavior which lend to dust, dis¬ honor and moral default. I would like to fire the ambition of young people. I have no sympathy with those who would prepare young 'oiks for life by •whittling down their expectations. That man or woman will be worth nothing to church or state who begins life cowed down. The business of Christianity human is not to quench but to di¬ rect ambition. Therefore it is that I utter words of euoouragemeut to those who are occupied as clerks in the stores and shops and banking houses of the country. They are not an exceptional class. They belong to a great company of tons of thou¬ sands who are in this country, amid cir¬ cumstances which will either make or break them for timend for eternity, Many of these people have already achieved a Christian manliness and a Christian wo¬ manliness which will be their passport to any position. I have seen their trials. I have watched their perplexities. There are evils abroad which need to be hunted down and dragged, out into the noonday In the first place, I counsel clerks to remember that for the most part their clerkship is only a school from which they are to be graduated. It takes about eight years to get into one of the learned profes¬ sions. It takes about eight years to get to be a merchant. Some of you will be clerks all your lives, but the vast majority of you are only in a transient position. After awhile, some December day, the head men of the firm will call you into the back office, and they will say to you: “Now, to’ you havo done well by us, we are going do well by vou. We invito you to have an in¬ terest in our concern. ’ You will bow to that, edict very gracefully. Getting into a street ear to go home, an old comrade will meet you and sav, “What makes you look so happy to-night?” “Oh,” hi you will say, “nothing, nothing.” But a few days your name will blossom on the sign. Either t’n the store or bank where yon are now. or in some other store or bank, you will take a higher position than that which you now occupy. So I feel I am now address¬ ing people who will yet have their hand on the world’s commerce and you will turn it this way or that. Now clerks, but to be bankers, importers, insurance company directors, shippers, contractors, p,upenn- tondents of railroads—your voice mighty “on ’Change”—standing foremost in the great financial and religious enterprises of the day. Tor, though we who are in the profession may, on the platform, plead for the philanthropies, after all, the mer¬ chants must come forward with their mil¬ lions to sustain the movement Be therefore patient and diligent in this transient position. You are now where you can learn things you can never learn in any other place. What you consider your disadvantages are affluent your grand oppor¬ tunity. You see an father some day come down a prominent street with his son who has just graduated from the uni¬ versity and establishing him in business, putting £50,000 of capital in the store. Well, you are envious. You say: “Ob, if I oniy had a chance like that young man! If I only had a father to put £50,030 in a business for me, then I would have some chance in the world.” Be not envious. You have advantages over that young man which he has not over you. As well might I come down to the docks when a vessel is about to sail for Valparaiso and say, “Let me pilot this ship out to sea.” Why, I would sink crew and cargo before I got out of the harbor simply because I kitow noth¬ ing about pilotage. Wealthy sea captains put their sons before the mast for the reason that they know it is the only place where they can learn to be suc¬ cessful sailors. ’ only drill It is under that people get to understand pilotage and navigation, and I want you to understand that it takes no more skill to conduct a ves¬ sel out of harbor and across the sea than to steer a commercial establishment clear of the rocks. You see every day the folly of people going into a business they know nothing about. A man makes a fortune in one business, tbtyks there is another occu¬ pation more comfortable, goes into it und sinks all. Many of the commercial estab¬ lishments of our cities are giving their clerks a mercantile education as thorough as Yale or Harvard or Priueeton #re giving scientific attainments to the students ma¬ triculated. The reason there are so many men foundering in business from year to year is because their early mercantile edu¬ cation was neglected. Ask the men in high commercial circles, and they will tell you they their thank God for this severe discipline of early clerkship. You can afford to endure the wilderness march if it is going to end in the vineyards and orchards of the promised land. clerks But you say, “Will tho womanly Time in our stores have promotion?” will he Yes. well paid is coming when women ns for their toil in mercantile circles as men are now paid for their toil. Time Is coming when a woman will be allowed to do any¬ thing she can do well. It is only a little while ago when women knew nothing of telegraphy, and they were kept out of a great many commercial circles where they are now welcome, and the time will go in on until the woman who at one counter a store sells >65000 worth ot goods in a year will get as high a salary as the man who at the other counter of the same stove sells $5000 worth of goods. All honor to Lydia, the Christian saleswoman. The second counsel I have to give to clerks is that you seek out what aro the lawful regulations of your establishment, and then submit to them. Every well- ordered house has its usages. In military life, on ship’s deck, in commercial life, there must be order and discipline. Those people who do not learn how to obey will never know how to command. I will tell you what, young mnn will make ruin financial and moral. It is the young man who thrusts his thumb into his vest and says: “Nobody shall dictate to me. Iam my own master. I will not submit to the regulations of this house.” Between on establishment in which all the employes are under thorough discipline and the establishment In which the difl'ei'Snco employes do ubout as they choose is the between success and failure —between rapid accumulation and utter bankruptcy. Do not come to the store teu minutes after the time. Bo there within two seconds and let it be two seconds before instead of two sec¬ onds sitrniflennt after. to Do do not well. think Do anything not too “It’s in- just sav, only once.’* From the most important transaction in commerce down to the partic¬ ular style in which you tie a string around ft bundle obey orders. Do not get easily disgusted. While others in the store mav lounge or fret or complain you go with ready tented hands and cheerful face and con¬ sounds, spirit the to your work. When the bugle shoulders good soldier asks no questions, but his knapsack, Alls his canteen arid listens for the command of “March!” Do not got the Idea that your interests and those of your employer are antagonis¬ tic. His success will be your honor. His embarrassment will be your dismay. Ex¬ pose none of the frailties of the lirm. Tell no store secrets. Do not blab. Rebuff those persons who come to rind out from clerks what ought never to be known outside the store. Do not be among those young men who take on a mysterious air when some¬ thing is said against the firm that employs them, as much ns to say, “I could tell you something if I would, but I won’t.” Do not be among those who imagine they can build themselves up by pulling somebody else down. Be not ashamed to be a subaltern. Again, I counsel all clerks to conquer the trials of their particular position. One great trial for clerks is the in considered; ion of customers. There are people who are entirely polite everywhere else, but gruff and dictatorial and contemptible when they •come into a store to buy anything. There are thousands of men ana woinoa wtio go from store to store to price things, without any idea of purchase. They are not satis¬ fied until every roll of goods is brought down and they have pointed out all the real or imaginary defects. They try on aR kinds of kid gloves and stretch them out of shape, and they put on all styles of cloak and walk to the mirror to see how they look, and then they sail out of tlie store, saying, “1 will not take it to¬ day,” which means, “I don’t want it at all,” leaving the clerk amid a wreck of ribbons and laces and cloths to .smooth out, a thousand dollars’ worth, of goods—uot a cent of which did that man or woman buy or expect to the buy. Now. I call that a dis¬ honesty on part of the customer. If a boy runs into a store and takes a roll of cloth off the cou nter and sneaks out into the street , you ail join in the cry pell-mell, ‘Stop thi 5 fl” When I see you go into a store, not expecting to buy anything, but to price things, stealing the time of the clerk and stealing the time of his employer, too, “Stopthief!” If I were asked which class of persons most needed the grace of Go 1 amid their annoyances. I would sav. “Dry goods clerks.” All the indignation of customers about the high prices comes on the clerk. For instance: A great war comes on. The manufactories are closed. The people go oil to battle. The price of goods runs up. A customer comes into a store. Goods have gone up. “How much is that worth?” “A dol¬ lar.” “A dollar! Outrageous! A dollar!” Why who is to blame for the fact that it has got to be a dollar? Does the indignation go out to the manufacturers on tho banks of the Merrimacbecau.se they have closed up? No. Docs the indignation go out toward the employer, who is at his country seat? No. It comes on the clerk. He got up the war. He levied the taxes. lie puts up the rents. Of course, the clerk. Then there are all the trials which come to clerks from the treatment of inconsider¬ ate employers. There are professed Chris¬ tian men who have no more regard for their clerks than they have for the scales on which the sugars are weighed. A clerk is no more than so much store furniture. No consideration for their rights or interests. Not one word of encouragement from sun¬ rise to sunset, nor from January to Decem¬ ber. But when anything goes wrong—a with streak of dust on tho counter or a box the cover off—thunder showers of scolding. Men imperious, capricious, cranky toward their clerks—their whole manner as much as to say, “AU the interest I have in you is to see what I can get out of you.” Then there are all the trials of incompetent wages, not in such times ns these, When if a man gets half a salary for his services he ought to be thankful, but I mean in prosper¬ ous times. Some of you remember when the war broke out and all merchandise went up, and merchants were made mil¬ lionaires in six months by the simple rise in the value of goods. Did the clerks get advantage of that rise? Sometimes, not always. I saw estates gathered in those times over which the curse of God has hung ever since. The cry of unpaid men and women in those stores reached the Lord of Sabaot'j, and the indignation of God has beon around those establishments ever since, flashing in tho chandeliers, glowing from the crimson upholstery, rumbling in the long roll of the tenpin alley. Such men ’ merchandise may build up palaces of heaven high, but after awhile a disaster will come along and will put one hand on this pillar and another hand on that pillar and throw itself forward until down will come the whole structure, crushing the worshipers as grapes are mashed in the Then there are boys ruined by lack of compensation. it has been In for how the many last twenty prosperous stores years that boys were given just enough money to teach them how to steal! Some were seized upon by the police. The vast majority of instances were not known. The head of the."firm asked, “Where is George now?” “Oh, he isn't hero any more.” A lad might better starve to death on a blasted heath than take one farthing from his employer. Woe be to that employer who unnecessarily puts a temptation in a boy’s way. There havo been great establish¬ ments in’these cities, building marble pa¬ laces, their owners dying worth millions and millions and millions, who made a vast amount of their estate out of the blood and muscle and nerve of half paid clerks. Such men as—well, I will not mention any name. But I mean men who have gathered up vast estates at the expense of the people “Oh,” who were ground under their heel. say such merchants, “if you don’t like it here, ther go and got a better place!” As much as to say: “I’ve got you in my grip, and I mean to hold you. You ean't get any other place.” Oh, what a contrast between those men and Christian merchants who to-day are sympathetic with their clerks—when they pay the salary, acting in this way: “This salary that I give you is not all my interest in you. You are an iinmo'rtal man; you are an’imrnortal woman. I an. interested welfare, in i your present and your everlasting want you to understand that if I am a little higher up in this store I am beside you in Christian sympathy.” Go back for¬ ty or Illfty years to Arthur Tappen’s store in New York, a man whose worst enemies never questioned his honesty. the Every morning he brought all clerks and the accountants and the weighers into a room for devotion. They sang, they prayed, they exhorted. On Monday morning the clerks were asked where they had attended church on tho previous day and what the sermons were about. It must have sounded strangely, that voice of praise along the streets where the devotees of Mammon were counting their golden beads. You say, Arthur Tap- pen failed. Yes, be was unfortunate, like a great many good men, but I understand he met all his obligations before ho left this world, and know that he died in the peace of the gospel and that he is before the throne of God to-day—forever blessed. If that befalling, I wish you might all fail. There are a great many young men and young women who want a word of encour¬ agement—Christian encouragement. One smile of good cheer would be worth more to them to-morrow morning in their places of business than a present of 415,000 teu years hence. Oh, I remember the appre¬ hension and the tremor of entering a pro- fessioa. I remember very well tho man who greeted me in tho ecclesiastical court with the tip ends of the long Ungers of the loft hand, and I remember the other tn,an who took my hand in both of his and said: “God bless you. my brother. You have en¬ tered a glorious profession. Be faithful to God, and He will see you through.” Why, I feel this minute the thrill of that handshaking, though the man who gave me the Christian grip has been in heaven twenty years. There are old men here to-day who can look back to forlfv years ago, when some one said a kind word to them. Now, old men, pay back what you got then. It is a groat art for old men to be able to encourage the young. There are many young people inland in our cities who have come from counties, from the granite hills of the north, from the savannas of the south, from the prairies of the west. They an* here to get their fortune. They are In boarding houses where everybody seems to bo think¬ ing of himself. They want companionship, and they want Christian encouragement. Give it to them. My word is to all clerks, Be mightier than your temptations. A Sandwich Islander used to think when he slew an enemy all the strength of that enemy came into his own right arm. And I have to tell you that every misfortune you conquer is so much added to your own moral power. With omnipotence for a lever and the throne of God for a fulcrum you can move earth and heaven. While there are other young men putting the cun of sin to their lips you stoop down and drink out of the fountains of God, and you will rise up strong to thrash the mountains, The ancients used to think that pearls wore fallen raindrops, which, touching the surface of the sen, hardened into gems, then dropped to the bottom. I trial have have to tell you to-day that storms of showered imperishable pearls into many a young man’s lap. Oh, young man, while you have goods to sell, remember you have a soul to save. In a hosoital a Christian captain, wronged a few days before, get delirious, and in the midnight hour he snrang out on the floor of the hospital, thinking he was in the battle, crying: “Come on. boys! Forward! .Charge!” Ah, he was only battling the imaginary specters of his own brain! But ii: is no conflict into which I call yon. young man, to-day. There are 10,000 spiritual foes that would Oft pture you. In the name of God, up and at them! After the last store has been closed, after the last bank has go um down, after the shuffle of the quick feet on the custom house steps has stopped, after the long line of merchantmen on the sea lias taken sail of flame, after Washington and New York and Loudon and Vienna have gone down iuto the grave where Thebes and Babylon bells and the Tyre lie buried, day after have the tolled great fire of judgment at the burning of a world—on that day all the affairs of banking houses and stores will come up for inspection. Oh. what an open¬ ing of account books! Side by side the clerks and the men who employ them, Ever y invoice m ade o ut, all the labels of goods, a! I certificates of stock—all lists of prices~all private marks of the. firm now explained so every¬ body can understand them. All the maps of cities that were never built, but in which lots were sold—all bargains, all gougings, all snap judgments, all false entries, all adulteration of liquors with coppers and strychnine. Ah mixing of teas and sugars and coffees and sirups, with cheaper mate¬ rial, all embezzlements of trust funds. All swindlers in coal and iron and oil arid silver and stocks. On that day when the cities of this world are smoking in the last conflagration the trial will go on. and down in an avalanche of destruction will go those who wronged manor woman, insulted God and defied the judgment. Oh, that will be a great day for you, honest Christian clerk. No getting up early, or retiring late, no walking around with weary limbs, but a mansion in which to live and a realm of light and love and joy over which to hold everlasting dominion. Hoist him up from glory to glory and from song* to song and from throne to throne, for while others go down into the sea with their gold iike a millstone hanging to their neck, this one shall come up the heights of amethyst and alabaster, holding in his right hand tho pearl of great price in a sparkling, glitter¬ ing, flaming casket. OIL AND COAL IN ALASKA. Enough to Supply the World Said to Havo Been Found There. A remarkable discovery is reported several from Alaska. Rome gold prospectors seemed be months ago ran across what to a lake of oil. It was led by innumerable springs, and the surrounding mountains were full of coal. They brought samples to Seattle, the tests proved it to bn of as high grade as from Pennsylvania wells. A local company was formed and experts sent up. They have returned on the steamer Topeka, and their report has more than borne out the first statements. It is said there is enough oil and coal in the re¬ gion to supply the world. It is close to the ocean; in fact, the experts say that the oil oozes out into the salt water. It is said that the Standard Oil Company has already made an offer for the property. The owners have filed claims on 8000 acres. SOUTH LEADS. Statement Showing Railway Construction in the United States This Year. Statistics of railway building prepared Rail¬ for the first six months in 1897 by the way Age show the South in the lead. Out of a total of 622.56 miles built, Louisiana has 111 miles. In commenting on its tables, the paper says: “It is to be noted that rail¬ way building was practically suspended and in tho New England and Middle States, the work was chiefly confined to the South- cm States, where the ratio of area and population to railway mileage still con¬ tinues large.” It is estimated that the whole year’s record will show an aggregate of lSOO or 2000 miles of new road. Too Many Potatoes. Harvesting is on in the, potato patches along the ICaw Valley bottoms between Kansas City and Lawrence, Kansas and tho farmers say they cannot get enough help. On every sidetrack in this potato district cars are loading for shipment and tho fields are full of men, women and boys digging and loading the tubers. Tho yield usual this year has not been as heavy as on account of the dry weather, but the acre¬ age is larger than last year and there wiU be no famine. Letters to Be Legibly Stamped. First Assistant Postinaster-Goneral Heath has given orders which will lessen the amount of illegible stamping of mail by third and fourth-class postmasters. Much complaint has been heard from persons unable to teii the place at which a letter was mailed because the stamping machine used in marking it was old and left only an illegible mark. obliged In the future that postmasters letters will bo to see are stamped legibly.

I tried several doctors, who did me no good. At last, after spending about $ 75 friend advised , a I me to try Ripans Tabules. I commenced taking them and soon could eat almost anything, and 1 had the satisfaction of knowing that what I eat ‘ would stay with me.’ I am grateful for such a medicine, and I hope before many years it will have place in the bouse of every family in these United States.” ELIZABETH L COLLEGE. / 0 N FOR WOMEN. ’ CHARLOTTE, N.
