The Many Temptations Which Jtesct young: Mon—Evils Resulting: Prom Getting Into Debt— An Irreligious I.i£u Always Destroys Young Men’s Morals. Text: “As an ox to tho slaughter.”— Proverbs vii., 22. There is nothing in the voice or manner of the butcher to indicate to the ox that there !s death ahead. The ox thinks he is going on to a rich pasture field of clover where all day long he will revel iu the herb¬ aceous luxuriance, but after awhile the men and the boys close in noon him with sticks and stones and shouting and drive him through bars and into a doorway, where he is fastened, and with well aimed stroke the ax fells him, and so tho anticipation of the redolent pasture field Is completely dis¬ appointed. So many a young man has been driven on by temptation to what bethought would be paradisiacal enjoyment, but after awbile influences with darker hue and swarthier arm close in upon him, and lie flnds that instead of making an excursion into a garden he has been driven “as an ox to the slaughter.” We are apt to blame young men lor be¬ ing destroyed when we ought to blame the influences' that destroy them. Society slaughters a great many young men by tho behest: “You must keep up appearances. Whatever be your salary, you must dress as well as others, you must give wine and smoke' brandy to as many friends, yon must as costly cigars, you must give as expensive entertainments and you must live in as fashionable a boarding house. If you haven’t the money, borrow. If you can’t borrow, make a false entry or sub¬ tract here and there a bill from a bundle of bank bills. You will only have to make the deception a little while. In a few months or in a year or two you can make it all right. Nobody will be hurt by it, no¬ body will be the wiser. You yourself will not be damaged.” By that awful process 100,000 men have been slaughtered for time and slaughtered for eternity. Suppose you borrow. There is nothing wrong about borrowing money. Thoro is hardiya man who has not sometimes bor¬ rowed money. Vast estates have been built on a borrowed dollar. But there are two kinds of borrowed money, money borrowed for the purpose of starting or keeping up legitimate enterprise arid expense and money borrowed to get that which you can do without. The first is right, the other is ■wrong. If you have money enough of your own borrow to buy a coat, however dandy’s plain, outfit, and then you money for a you have taken the first revolution of the wheel down grade. Borrow for necessities; that may be well. Borrow for the luxuries; that tips your prospects over in the wrong di¬ rection. The Bible distinctly says the borrower is servant of tho lender. It is a bad state of things when you have to go down some other street to escape meeting some one whom you owe. If young men knew whnt is the despotism of being in debt, more of th9m would keep out of it. What did debt do for Lord Bacon, witli a mind towering above the centuries? It induced him to take bribes and convict himself as a crim¬ inal before ail ages. Wliat did debt do for Walter Scott, broken hearted at Abbots¬ ford 11 Kept him writing until his hand gave out in paralysis to keep the sheriff away from his pictures and statuary. Bet¬ ter for him if he had minded the maxim which he bad chiseled over the fireplace at Abbotsford. “Waste not. want not.” The trouble is. my friends, that people do not understand the ethics of going in debt, and that if you purchase goods with no ex¬ pectation debts which of paying for them, meet, or go steal into you cannot you "a just so much I money. If I nnd go into coffees grocer’s and store and buy sugars meats witli no capacity to pay for them, and no intention of paying for them, I am more dishonest than if I go into the store, and when the grocer’s face is turned the other way I fill my pockets with the arti¬ cles of merchandise and carry off a ham. In the one ease I take the merchant’s time, and I take the time, of his messenger to transfer tho goods to my house, while in the other case I take none of the time of the merchant, and I wait upon myself, and I transfer the goods without sneak any thief trouble to him. In other words, a is not so bad as a man wiio contracts debts lie never expects to pay. Yet in all our cities there are families who move every May day to get into prox¬ imity to other They grocers and everybody meatshops nnd apothecaries. where owe live,and within half a mile of they now next Muy they will move into a distant part of the city, finding a new lot of victims. Meanwhile you, the honest family in tho new house, are bothered day by day by the knocking at the door of disappointed bakers and butchers and dry goods dealers and newspaper carriers, and you are asked where your predecessor is. You should do not know. It was arranged predecessor you not know. Meanwhile your has gone to some distant part of the city, and tho peojAe who have anything stopped to sell have sent tlieir wagons and there to so¬ neighbor, licit the “valuable” he, custom tiie of neighbor, the new and new with great complacency finest steaks and an air the of high¬ afflu¬ ence, orders tho and est priced sugars and tho best of the canned fruits and perhaps all the newspapers. And the debts will keep on accumulating until begets his goods on the 30th of next April in the furniture cart. No wonder that so many of our mer¬ chants failin business. They are swindled into bankruptcy by these wandering Arabs, these nomads of city life. They cheat the grocer out of the green apples which make them sick, the physician who the attends them during tlieir distress anil undertaker who fits them out for departure from the neighborhood where they owe everybody when they pay the debt ol nature, the only debt they" ever do pay. coming Now our young men are up in this depraved state of commercial ethics, and I am solicitous ubout them. I want to warn them against being slaughtered on the sharp edges of debt. Yon want many things; you have not, my young friends. You shall have them if you have patience and honesty anil industry. Certain lines of conduct always lead out to certain successes. There is a law which controls even tho3o things that seem haphazard. I have been told by those who have observed that it is possible to calculate just how many letters will be sent to the dead letter office every year through misdirection; just that it is possi- ble to calculate how many letters will be detained for lack of postage stamps through the forgetfulness of the senders, and that it is possible to tell just how many people will fall in the streets by slipping on an orange peel. In other words, there are no accidents. The of most insignificant link between event you ever heard is the two eternities—the eternity Head of the the past right and the eternity of the future. way, young man, and you will come out at the right Bring goal. and tell what mo a health young man and what his me his physical is mental caliber and what his habits, and I will tell yon what will be his destiny for this world and his destiny for tho world to come, and I will not make five inaoenrate prophecies solicitous out of the 500. All this makes me iu regard to young men, and I want to make them nervous in debts. regard to the con¬ traction of unpayable willfully When a young man and of choice, having the comforts of life, goes Into the contraction what of unpayable The debts, he knows not into he goes. creditors get after the debtor, the pack of hounds in full cry, and alas for the reindeer. They jingle his they doorbell jingle before his doorbell he gets up after in the he morning, has gone to bed at night. They They meet send him ns he comes off his front steps. him a postal card or a letter in curtest style, hi’s telling him to pay up. They attach goods. They want cash or a note at thirty days or a note on demand. They call him a knave. They say ho lies. They want him disciplined in the church. They They want him turned out of tho bank. come at him from this side and from that side and from before and from behind and from above and from beneath, and he is insulted and gibbeted and sued and dunned and sworn at until ho gets the nervous dyspepsia, gets neuralgia, gets liver complaint, gets heart disease, gets con- vulsive disorder,gets consumption. urk Now ho is dead, and you soy, Of oours*« they will let him alone.” Oh, no! Now they are watchful to see whether there are any unnecessary expenses at the obsequies, handle to see whether there is any useless on tho casket, to see whether there is any surplus plait on the shroud, to see whether tho hoarse is costly or cheap, to see wnetker tho Mowers sent to the casket have been bought by tho family or donated, to see in whose name tho deed to the grave is made out. Then they ransack the bereft household, the books, the pictures, the carpets, tho chairs, the sofa, the piano, tho mattresses, the pillow the on which he died. Cursed be debt! For sake of your own happiness, for tho sake of good morals, for the sake of your im¬ mortal sou!, for God's sake, young man, as far as possible keep out of itl But I think more young men are slaughtered through irreligion. Takeaway make a young man’s religion and you him tho prey of evil. Wo all know that the Bible is the only perfect svstem of morals. Now, if you want to destroy a young man’s morals, take his Bible away. How will you do that? Well, you will cari¬ cature his reverence all for incidents the Scriptures, of the Bibjto you will take those which can he made mirth of - Jonah's whale, Sampson’s foxes, Adam’s rib. Then you will caricature eccentric Christians or inconsistent Christians. Then you will pass off as your own all those hackneyed arguments against Christianity which are as old as Tom Paine, as old as Voltaire, as old as sin. Now have* you have captured his Bible, and you taken his strongest fortress. The way is comparatively clear, and all the gates of his soul are set open in invitation to the sins of earth and the sorrows of death, that they may come in and drive tho stake for their encampment. witli A steamer 1500 miles from shore, broken rudder and lost compass, and hulk leaking fifty gallons the hour, is better off than a young man when you have robbed him of ills Bible. Have you ever noticed how despicably mean it is to take away the world’s Bible without proposing a substi¬ tute? It is meaner than corning to ft sick man and steal his medicine, meaner than to come to a cripple and steal his crutch, meaner than to come to a pauper and steal his crust, meaner than to come to a poor man and burn bis house down. It is the worst of all larcenies to steal the Bible which has been crutch and medicine and food and ofernal home to so many. Wliat a generous and magnanimous into—this business in¬ fidelity has gone splitting up of lifeboats and taking away of fire escapes and extinguishing of lighthouses! ‘‘What I come out and I say to such people, are you doing all this for?” “Oh,” they say, “just for fun.” It is such fun to see Chris¬ tians try to hold on to their Bibles! Many ha-ve of them have lost loved ones and been told that there is a resurrection, and it is such fun to tell them there will be no resurrection! Many of them have believed that Christ came to carry the burdens and to heal the wounds of the world, and it is such fun to tell them they will have to be their own savior! Think of the meanest thing you ever heard of, then go down 1000 feet underneath it, and you will find your¬ self at the top of a stairs 100 miles long; go to the bottom of the stairs, and you will find a ladder 1000 miles long; then go to the foot of the ladder and look off a preci¬ pice half as far as from here to China, and you will find the headquarters of the mean¬ ness that would rob this world of its only comfort in life, its only peace in death and its only hope for immortality. Slaught is era young man’s faith in God, and there not much more left to slaughter. slaugh¬ Now what has become of the tered? Well, some of them are in down tlieir father's or mother’s house, broken in health, waiting to die; others are in tho hospital, others are in the cemetery, or, rather, their bodies are, for their souls have gone on to retribution. Not much prospect for a young man who started life with good health and good education and a Christian example set him, and oppor¬ tunity of usefulness, who gathered all his treasures and put them in one box, and then Now, dropped how is it this into wholesale tho sea. slaughter to be stopped? There is not a person who is not interested in that question. The ob¬ ject each of iny sermon hands is to put a weapon in of your for your own defense. Wait not for Young Men’s Christian Asso¬ ciations to protect you or churches to pro¬ tect you. Appealing to God for help, take care of yourself. First, have a room somewhere that you "the can call your own. Whether it pc back parlor of a fashionable boarding house or a room in the fourth story of a chGiip lodging I care not. Only have that one room your fortress. Let not the dissi- pater or unclean step over the threshold. If they come up the long flight of stairs and knock at tho door, meet them face to face and ktndlv yet firmly refuse them admit¬ tance. Have a few family portraits on the wall, if you brought them with you from your country homo. Have a Bible on the stand. If you can afford it and can play on one, have an instrument of music—harp or flute or cornet or melodeon or violin or piano. Every morning before you leave that room pray. Every night after you come homo in that room pray. Make that room your Gibraltar, your Sevastopol, your Mount Ziou. Let no bad book or newspaper come into that room any more than you would allow a cobra to coil on your table. Take care of yourself. help Nobody else will take care of you. Your will not come up two or three or four flights of stairs; your help will come through the roof, down from heaven, from that God who in the 6000 years of the world’s history never be¬ trayed a young man who tried to be good and a Christian. Let me say in regard to your adverse worldly circumstances,in level those pass- ing, that you are on a now with who are Anally tosueceed. Mark my words, young man, and think find of it thirty those years who from now. You will that thirty years from now are the millionaires of this country, who are the orators of the country, who are the poets of the oountry, who are the strong merchants of the coun¬ try, who country—mightiest arc the great philanthropists church of the . in and State—are this morning on alevel with you, not an inch above, nnd in straitened cir¬ cumstances now. There is no class of persons that so stir my sympathies as young salary men in great cities. Not quite enough to live on, and all the temptations that come from that deficit. Invited on all hands to drink, and tlieir exhausted nervous system seem¬ ing to demand stimulus. Their religion caricatured by the most of the clerks in the store and most of the operatives in the factory. The rapids of temptation and death rushing against that young man forty miles the hour, and he in a frail boat headed up stream, with nothing but a broken oar to work with- Unless Almighty God help them they will go under. Ah, when I told you to take care of your¬ self you misunderstood me If you thought I resolution, meant you arc to depend dissolved upon human In the which may be foam of the wine cup or may be blown out with tho first gust of temptation. Hero is the helmet, the sword of the Lord God Almighty. Clothe yourself in that panoply, and you shall not be put to confusion. Sin pays well neither in this world nor the next, but right thinking and right believing and right acting will take you in safety through tills life and In transport through the next. I never shall forget a prayer I heard a young man make some fifteen but" years ago. It was a very short prayer it was* a tremendous prayer: “0 Lord, help usl Wo find it so very easy to do wrong and so hard to do right! Lord, help usl” That prayer, I warrant you, reached the ear of God and reached His heart. And there are 100 men who have found out—1000 young cnon, perhaps, who have found out—that very thing. It is so very easy to do wrong and so hard to do right. only I got a letter one day, one para¬ graph, which I shall road: I “Having moved around somewhat, run across many young men of intel¬ ligence, ardent Btrivers after that will-o’- the-wisp—fortune—and of one of these I would speak. He was a young Englishman of twenty-three or twenty-four years, who came to" Now York, where he had no ac¬ quaintances, with barely sufficient to keep him a couple of weeks. He had been ten¬ derly reared, perhaps I should say too ten¬ derly, and was not used to earning his living and found It extremely difficult to got any position that he was capable of fill¬ ing. After many vain efforts in this direction he found himself on a Sunday evening in Brooklyn, near your church, with about 33 left of his small capital. Providence seemed to lead him to vour door, and ho determined to go in and hoar you. Ho told mo his going to hear you that night was undoubt¬ edly the turning point in Ids life, for when lie went into your church he felt desper¬ ate, but while listening to your discourse his better nature got the mastery. I truly believe from wliat this young man told me that your sounding the. depths of his heart that night clone brought him back to his God whom he was so near leaving.” That is tho echo of multitudes. I am not preaching an abstraction, but a great reality. O friendless young man, O prodigal young man, O broken hearted young man, discouraged young man, wounded young man, I commend to you Christ this day, the best friend a man ever had. Ho meets you this morning. De¬ spise not that emotion rising in your soul; it is divinely lifted. Look into the face of Christ. Lift one prayer to your father’s God, to your mother’s God, and this morn¬ ing get tho pardoning blessing. Now, while I speak, you are at the forks of the road, and this is tho right'road, and that is the wrong road, and I see you start on the right road. morning at the close of the One Sabbath the world service I saw a gold watch of renowned and deeply lamented violinist, Ole Bull. You remember he died in Ids island home off the coast of Norway. That gold watch he had kept wound up day after day through his last illness, and then he said to his companion. “Now, I want to wind this watch as long as I can, and then when I am gone I want you to keep it wound up until it goes to my friend. Dr. Doremus, in New York, and then he will keop it wound up until liis life is done, and then I want the watch to go to his young son, my especial favorite.” The great musician who moj-e than any other artist had made the violin speak, and sing, and weep, and laugh, and triumph— for it seemed when ho drew the bow across the strings as if all earth and heaven shiv¬ ered in delighted sympathy—the off great the musician, in a room looking favorite upon instru¬ sea, and surrounded by his death. ments of music, closed his eyes in While all the world was mourning at his departure sixteen crowded steamers fell into line of funeral procession to carry liis body to the mainland. There were 50.000 of his countrymen gathered in an amphithea¬ the ter of the hills waiting to hear eulogium, and it was said when the great orator of the day with sten¬ torian voice began to speak the 50,- 000 people on the hillsides burst into tears. Oh, that was the close of a life that had done so much to make the world happy! But I have to tell you, young man, if you live right and die right, that was a tame scene compared with that which will greet you when from the galleries of heaven the 144,000 shall accord with Christ in cry¬ ing, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant!” ADd the influences that on earth you put in motion will go down from gen¬ eration to generation, the influences you wound up handed to your children, and their influences wound up and handed to their children, until watch and clock are no more needed to mark the progress, be¬ cause time itself shall be no longer.

The Indian tribes of the const ranges have also realized handsomely on the demand for good pack ponies. JAPAN IS HARD UP. Treasury Said to He Seriously Embar¬ rassed For Ready Money. The Japanese Government is seriously embarrassed financially owing to tho rapid pace at which the nation has been going since the war with China. Civilization lias necessitated increased expenditures in every direction, particu¬ larly in building railroads, telegraph improving lines, new Government buildings, and harbors and strengthening the army navy. not directly benefited The treasury was by the big war indemnity paid by China, because it has been kept in England to pay for new war ships and armament. Owing to the increased expenditures during the past year all the Government's reserve funds are exhausted. There is great need of rain in Korea, and the Governor has sent priests to the moun- .
