They made money, but did not keep it. They were like people who have a sack in which they put money, not knowing that the sack is torn or eaten of moths, or in some way made incapable of holding valu¬ ables.

What has become of t! i• ■ billions and billions of dollars in this country paid to the working classes? Some of these mon¬ eys have gone for house rent, or the purchase of homesteads, or wardrobe, or family expenses, or the necessities of life, or to provide comforts in old age. What has become of other billions? Wasted in foolish Wasted" outlay. Wasted at the gamingta¬ into ble. in Intoxicants. I’ll a bag with 100 holes. working Gather up the money that the classes have spent for drink Burin# the last thirty years, and I will build for every workingman a house mid lay out for him a garden, and clothe his sons ai broadcloth and his daughters in silks, and place at his front door a prancing span of sorrels or bays, anil secure him a policy of life insur¬ ance, so that the present home may he well maintained after lie is dead. The most per¬ sistent, most overpowering enemy of the working classes is intoxicating liquor. It is the anarchist of the centuries and has boycotted and is now boycotting the holly and mind niul soul of American labor. It is to it a worse foe than monopoly and worse than associated capital. industry out of It annually swindles it a large percentage of earnings, holds out its hlmshigs solicitations to the mechanic or operative on his way to work, and at tho noon spell, and on his way home at even¬ tide; on Saturday, when l ho wages urn paid, it snatches a large part of the money that might come into the family and sacrifices it among the saloon keepers. Stand the sa¬ loons of this country side by side, and it is carefully estimated that they would reach from New York ’to Chicago. "Forward, march," says the drink power, “and take possession of the American Nation.” The drink business is pouring its vitriolic and damnable liquids down the throats of hundreds of thousands of laborers, and while tho ordinary strikes are ruinous both to employers and employees, I proclaim drink, a strike universal against strong relief of the which, if kept up, will be the working classes and the salvation of the Nation. I will undertake to say that there is not a healthy laborer in the United States who within the next ten years, if he will re¬ fine*, nil intoxicating beverages and be sav¬ ing, may not become a capitalist on a small scale. Our country in a year spends $1,- 500,050,000 for drink. Of course tho work¬ ing classes do a great deal of this expendi¬ ture. Careful statistics show that the wage earning classes of Great Britain ex¬ pend in liquors 0100,000,000,000 or $500,- 000,000 a year. Sit down and calculate, oh, workingmen, how much you have ex¬ pended in these directions. Add it all up. Add up what your neighbors have ex- iloaded e>wl realize that instead o{ r.iiswer- iug the beck of other people you might have been your own capitalist , When you deplete a workingman’s physical stimulated energy, you deplete his capital. before the The unstimulated workman gives out workman. My father said: “I became a temperance man in early life, because I noticed in the harvest field that though I was physically weaker than other work¬ men, I could hold out longer than they. They took stimulants. I took none.” A brick- maker in England gives Ills experience In regard to this matter among men in his employ. He says, after investigation: “The beer drinker who made the fewest bricks made 659,000, bricks and the abstainer who made the fewest 71(1,000. The dif¬ ference in behalf of the abstainer over tho induiger, have 87.000." sympathy for skinflint I no saving, but 1 plead for Christian prudence. You say it is Impossible now to lay up anything for daybreak a rainy day. of National J know prosperity. it, but wo are Some at tho people think It is mean to turn the gas low when they go out of the parlor. They feel embarrassed if the doorbell rings before they have the hull lighted. They apologize them for tho plain meal, if you surprise at the table. Well, it is mean if It is only to pile up it miserly b ourtl. llut if it be to edu¬ cate your children, if it be to give more help to your wife when she does not feel strong, if it be to keep your funeral day from being horrible beyond all endurance, because it is to be the disruption and an¬ nihilation of the domestic circle—if it Im for that, then it is magnificent. poverty There are those who are kept in because of their own fault.. They might iiave been well off, but they smoked or chewed up their earnings, or they lived be¬ yond their means, while others on the same wages and on the same salaries went on to competency. I know a man who is all the time complaining of his'poverty while aml’crying out against rich men ho himself keeps two dogs and chews and smokes and is full to the chin with whisky and beer. Wilkins Micawber perfielil, suid boy, to David income, Copperfleld: “Cop- 20s. my A'l expenses, fid.; result, misery. But, Copperfleld, my boy, i'l income; expenses,,19s. fid.; result, happiness.” But, O workingman, take your morning dram, and your noon dram, and your | evening dram, tobacco and spend anil every¬ thing you have over for excur¬ sions, and children you insure poverty for yourself and your forever! ff by some generous fiat of the capi¬ talists of tills country or by a new law of the Government of the United States twenty-five pier cent, added or fifty the per cent, or of 100 per cent, were to wages the working classes of America, it would he no advantage to hundreds of thousands of them unless they stopped strong the drink. Aye, until they quit that evil habit more money the more ruin, the more wages the more holes in the bag. My plea is to those working people who arc in a discipleship to the whisky bottle, the beer jug and the wine flask. And what I say to them will not be more appropriate to the working olasses than to the business classes aud the literary classes and the pro¬ fessional classes and all classes, aud not with the people of one age more than of all ages. Take one good square look at the suffering of the man whom strong drink has enthralled and remember that towurd that goal multitudes are running. The disciple of alcoholism suffers the loss of self respect, Just as soon os a man wakes up and finds that he iH the cap¬ tive of strong drink, he feels demeaned. I do not care how recklessly he acts. He may say, “I don’t care;” he does care.

What reptiles crawl over Ids sleeping limbs. What Mends stand by his midnight pillow. What groans tear his ear. What horrors shiver through Ids soul. Talk of tho raek, talk of (ho inquisi¬ tion, talk of tho funeral pyre, talk of the crushing Juggernaut -he feels thorn all at once. Have you ever been in the ward of tho hospital where those inebriates are dy¬ ing. the stonoh of their wounds driving back tho attendants, their voices sounding through tho night? Tho keeper comes up and says: "Hush, now bo still. Stop mak¬ ing all this noise." But It is effectual only for a moment, for ns soon as the keeper is gone they Begin again: "(t God! () God! Help! them Help! off Drink! me! Take Give them me drink! off me! Help! <) Take O God!" And then they shriek, and they rave, and they pluck out their hair by handfuls and bite their nails into the quick, and then they groan, and they shriek, and they blaspheme, and they ask the keepers to kilt them " Stall me! Smother me! Strangle mo! Take the devils off me!" Oh, it is no fancy sketch. That tiling is going on now all up and down the land, and 1 tell you further that this is going to he the death that some of you will die. 1 know i(. I see it coming. through Again the inebriate suffers tho loss of home. Ido not care how much he loves his wife and children, if this passion for strong drink has mastered him he will do the most outrageous things, and if lie could not get drink ill any other way he would sell his family into eternal bondage. How many homes have been broken up in that way no one hut God knows. Oh, is there anything that will so destroy life a man for this life and damn him for the that is to come? I)o not tell me that a man can be happy when ho knows that he is break¬ ing his wife’s heart and clothing his chil¬ dren with rags. Why, there are on the roads and streets of this land to-day little children, barefooted, unwashed and un¬ kempt, want on every patch of their faded dress anil on every wrinkle of their pre¬ maturely old countenances, who would have been In churches to-day and as well clad as you are but for the fact that rum destroyed their parents ami drove them into the grave. Oli, rum, thou foe of God, thou ile.spoiler of homes, thou recruiting officer of the pit, I hate thee. But my subject takes a deeper tone, and that is that the unfortunate of whom 1 speak suffers from the loss of the soul. The Bible intimates that in the future world, if wo are unforgiven here, our bad passions and appetites, unrestrained, will there. go along with us and make our torment Ko that, I suppose, when an inebriate wakes up in that world he will fed au infinite thirst consuming him. Now, down in this world, although he may have been very poor, ho could beg or lie could steal live cimts iv'reltwViL’U.-t? get that which would slake his thirst for a little while, i/flt rlV eternity where is the rum to come from? Oh, the deep, thirst exhausting, exasperating, everlasting of the drunkard in hell! Why, if a work fiend name up to earth should fqr some infernal in a grogshop and go back tlfat taking units wing justpne the drop of for which the Inebriate in lost world longs, what excitement would it make there! Put that one drop from off the fiend’s destroyed wing on inebriate, the tip of let the tho tongue liquid of the brightness just touch it, let the drop be very small, if it only have In it the smack of alcoholic drink; let that drop world, just touch the lost Inebriate in the lost and he would spring to his feet and cry: “That is ruin, aha! That is rum!” And It would wake up the echoes of the damned: “Give me rum! Give me rum! Give me ruml” In the future world I ilo not believe that it will be the. absence of God that will make the drunkard's sorrow. 1 ilo not believe it will bo the absence of light. I do not be¬ lieve that it will be the absence of holiness. I think It will be the absence of rum. Oh, "Look not upon' the wine when it Is red, when it moveth itself aright, in the cup, for at the Inst it biteth like a serpent, and it stingoth like an adder.” 1 verily believe that although you feel grappling at the roots of your tongues an almost omnipotent, thirst, if you will give your heart to Gok, he will help yim by IDs grace to conquer. Try it. It is your last chance. I have looked oft upon the deso¬ lation.

Ill, it, is “doctors.’’ Tho verb “dldusko” Is always translated “teach" or "taught.” The injunction, therefore, seems to he that Wo are to bear in mind that the position of a teacher is one of such responsibility that, wo choose hardly and dare to covet It. et it our Lin'd ns send us forth, no matter In what capacity, His grace issulllclciit for us.

If any limn offend not In word, the same is a perfect man aud able, also to bridle the whole body." The B. V. says, "In many things we all stumble.” And yet tho as¬ cription tn Judo xxiv., it. V., Is. “Now un¬ to Him that is able to guard you from stumbling and to sof you before the pres¬ ence of Ills glory without blemish.’' If wo would but trust Him, who alono of all men never stumbled, never sinned in thought, word or deed, He would keep us from the stumbling, for Ho is able. “Thine Is power, O Lord." The difficulty is all would on our side, He says, "i would, bill ve not." 8, 4. Here we Iiave a great creature, the horse managed by tho driver by menus of a small bit in ids mouth, and wo have a mighty ship managed by Its governor bv means of a very small helm. We might consider the smallness of that which in either ease controlled the large body, or wo might, consider the driver or governor controlling. In I’s. xxxll., 9, we are In¬ structed not to be like a horse or mule, without understanding, whose mouth must lie held in with bit and bridle. But some horses and mules have understanding, and 1 believe that some have more tlma their, drivers. Wo are not warned against such.' The great thing is to under have a good governor and to he absolutely his control. 1 5. “Even so the tongue is a little member and boasteth great things. Behold how great a matter a little fire klndletli.”, Therefore we are admonished, “Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from speak¬ ing guile" (Ph. xxxiv. 13.) And we are reminded that there is net a word in our tongue but He knoweth It altogether. 111 (I’s.’ the oxxxlx., 1). “Death and life arc power keepeth of tho mouth tongue,” anil his therefore tongue koepeth “whosoj his Ids soul from troubles" (Prov. xvilf,, 21;’ xxi., 23). tho l« fire, world of 6. “And tongue a a Iniquity, and it is set on lire ol hell."

This is the w6ni “ge-enna,” the place of burning, and Is used only by our Lord except In lids one instance. “Out of the abundance of the heart tho mouth speakoth” (Math. xll», 34), and If tin tun has control of the heart Wn may expect the tongue to smell of fire and brimstone. While 7. H. every kind of creature can he tamed, the tongue Is untamable, an unruly evil full of deadly poison.

What have wo here then, a new heart which blesses God, and the old heart which Is prone to curs¬ ing, aud each using tho same tongue’?
