measure the merchant pours out what pre¬
tends to be a gallon ot oil, and there is less
than a gallon, God knows It, and He calls
upon Hi3 recording angel to mark it, “So
much wanting in tbat measure of oil.” The
farmer comes In from the country. Ho
has apples to sell. He has an imperfect
measure. Ho pours out the apples from
this Imperfect measure. God recognizes
It. He says to the recording angel, “Mark
down so many apples too few—an imper¬
fect measure.” We may cheat ourselves,
and we may cheat the world, but we can¬ of
not cheat God, and in the great day
judgment it will be found out that what
weTearned in boyhood at sohool is correct;
that twenty hundredweight makes a ton,
and 120 solid feet make a cord of wood. No
more, no less, and a religion which does
not take hold of this life, as well as the life
to come, is no religion at all.
But, my Mends, that is not the style of
balances I am to speak of to-day; that fs not
the kind of weights and,measures. I am
to speak of that kind of balances which
weigh principles, weigh churches, weigh
men, weigh nations and weigh worlds.
“What!” you say. “Is it possible that our
world is to be weighed?” Yes. Why, you
would think if God put on one side of th e
balances suspended from the throne the
Alps and the Pyrenees and the Himalayas
and Mount Washington and all the cities
of the earth they would crush it. No, nol
The time will come when God will sit down
on the white throne to see the world
weighed, and on one side will be the
world’s opportunities and on the other side
the world’s sins. Down will go the sins
and away will go the opportunities and
God will say to the messengers with the
torch: “Burn tbat world! Weighed and
found wanting!”
So God will weigh churches. He takes a
great church. That church, great accord¬
ing to the worldly estimate, must bo
weighed. He puts it on one side tbs bal¬
ances and -the minister and the choir and
the building that cost its hundreds of thou¬
sands of dollars. He puts them on one
side the balances. -jOn the other side of tho
scale He puts what that church ought to
be, what its consecration ought to bo, what
Its sympathy for the poor ought to be,
what its devotion to all good ought tc be.
That Is on one side. That side comes
down, end the church, not being able to
stand the test, rl3es in the balanoes.. It
does not mako any difference about your
magnificent machinery. A ehuroh is built
for one tting—to save souls. If it saves a
few souls when it might save a multitude
of souls, God will spew it out of His mouth.
Weighed and found wanting!
Howe perceive that God He estimates has the na¬
tions. How many times soates put
Spanish monarchy into the and
found It insufficient and condemned itl
The Frenoh empire was plnoed on one side
of the scales, and God weighed the Frenoh
empire, and Napoleon said: “Have I not
enlarged the boulevards? Did I not kin¬
dle the glories of the ChampsElyees? Have
I not adorned the Tuileries? Have I not built
the gilded opera house? Then God weighed
the nation, and He put on one side the
scales the emperor and the boulevards and
the Tuileries and the Champs Elysees and
the gilded opera house, and on the other
side He puts that man’s abominations,
that man’s libertinism, that man’s selfish¬
ness, that man’s godless ambition. This
last same down, and all the brilliancy ol
the scene vanished. What is that voice
coming up from Sedan? Weighed and
found wanting! Individual and
But I must become more
more personal In my address. Some people
say they do not think clergymen ought to
be personal in their religious address, but
ought to deal with subjects iu the abstract.
“I do not think that way. What would you
think of a hunter who should go to the
Adirondacks to shoot deer in the abstract?
Ah, no! He loads the gun; he puts the
butt of it against his breast, he runs his
eye nlong the barrei, he takes sure aim,
and then crash go the antlers on the roeksl
And so, if we want to be hunters for the
Lord, we must take sure aim and fire. Not
in the abstract are we to treat things in
religious discussions. If a physician comes in
into a slokroom, does he treat disease
the abstract? No. Ha feels the pulse, the
takes the diagnosis, then he writes
prescription. And if we want to heal souls
for this life and the life to oome, we do not
want to treat them in the abstract. The
fact unoured is, you and I have a malady which, If
by grace, will kill us forever.
Now, I want no abstraction. Where is the
balm? Where is the physioian?
People say there is a day of judgment
coming. My friends, every day is a day of
judgment, and you and I to-day are being
canvasseddinspeoted,weighed. They Here are lifted, the
balances of the sanotuary. are
and we must all be weighed. Who will
oome and be weighed first. Here is a
moralist who volunteers. He is one of the
most upright men In the country. He
comes. “Well, my brother, and be get weighed.” in—get
into the balances now
But as he gets into the balances I say,
“What is that bundle you have along with
you?” “Oh,” he says, “that is my reputa¬
tion for goodness and kindness and charity
nnd generosity and* kindliness generally!"
“Oh, my brother, we cannot weigh that!
We are going to weigh you—yon. Now
stand in the scales—you, the moralist.
Paid your debts?” “Yes,” you say, “paid
all my debts.” “Have you acted in an
upright way in the community?” “Yes,
yes.” “Have you been kind to the poor?
Are you faithful in a thousand relations In
life?” “Yes.” “So far, so good. But now,
before you get out of this scale I want to
ask you two or three questions. Have your
thoughts always been right?” “No,” you
• say; “no.” Put down one mark. “Have
you loved the Lord with all your heart and
soul and mind and strength?” “No,” you
say. Make another mark. “Come now, be
frank and confess that in 10,000 things you
have come short, have you not?” “Yes.”
Make 10,000 marks. Come now, get me a
hook large enough to make the record of
the moralist’s deficits. My brother, stand
in the scales, do not fly away from them. I
put on your side the scales all the good
deeds you ever did, all the kind words you
ever uttered. But on the other side the
scales I put this weight which God says I
must putthere—ontheother sidethe scales
‘ and opposite to yours I put this weight,
“By the deeds of the law shall no flesh liv-
ing be justified.” Weighed and found want-

here is a formalist. He comes and he gets
into the balances, and as he gets in I see
that all his religion is in genuflection and
in outward observances. As he gets into
the scales I say, “What is that you have In
this pocket?” “Oh!” he says, “that is a
Westminster assembly catechism.” I say:
“Very good. What hnye you in the other
pocket?” “Oh!,’ he says, “that is the
Heidelberg catechism.” “Very good.
What is that you have under your arm,
standing in this balance of the sanctuary?”
“Ohl” he says, “that is a church record.”
“Very good. What are those hooks on your
side the balances?” “Oh!” he says, "those
are ‘Calvin’s Institutes.’” “My brother,
we are not weighing books, we are weigh¬
ing you. It cannot be that you are de¬
pending for your salvation upon your
orthodoxy. Do you not know that the
creeds and the forms of religion are merely
the scaffolding for the building? You cer¬
tainly are not going to mistake the scaf¬
folding for the temple. Do you not know
that men have gone to perdition with a
catechism in their pocket?” myself often.” “But,” “Ah! says
the man, “I cross
that will not save you.” “But,” says the
man, “I am sympathetic for the the poor.”
"That will not save you.” Says table.” “That man,
“I sat at the communion
will not save you.” “But,” says the
man, “I have had my name on the
church record.” “That will not save you.”
“But I have been a professor of religion
forty years." “That will not save you.
Stand there on your side the balances, and
I will give you the advantage—I will let
you have all the creeds, all the ehuroh rec¬
ords, all the Christian conventions that
were ever held, all the communion tables
that were ever built, on your side the bal¬
ances. On the other side the balances I
must put what God says I must put there.
I put this 1,000,000 pound weight on the
other side the balances, ‘Having the form
of godliness, but denying the power there¬
of.’ ” Weighed and found wanting!
Still the balances are suspended. Are
there any others who would like to be
weighed or who will bo weighed? Yes;
here comes a worldling. He gets into the
scales. I oan very easily see what his
whole life is made up of. Stocks, dividends,
percentages, “buyer ten days,” “buyer
thirty days.” “Get in my friend, get into
these balances and be weighed—weighed
for this life and weighed for the life to
oome.” He gets In. I find that the two
great questions in his life are. “How
cheaply can I buy these goods?” and “How
dearly can I sell them?” I find he ad¬
mires heaven because it is a land of gold,
and money must be “easy.” I find, from
talking with him, that religion and the
Sabbath are an interruption, a vulgar in¬
terruption, and ho hopes on the way to
church to drum up a new customer!
All the week he has been weighing
fruits, weighing meats, weighing ice,
weighing coals, weighing confeotlonB,
weighing worldly and perishable commodi¬ himself
ties, not realizing the fact that He
has been weighed. “On I will your side the
balances, O worldly! give you full
advantage. I put on your side all the
banking houses, all the storehouses, all
the cargoes, all the insurance companies,
all the factories, all the silver,all the gold,
all the money vaults, all the sate deposits
—all on your side. But It does not add
one ounce, for at the very moment we are
congratulating you on your fine house and
upon your princely 1 income God and the
angels are writing in regard to your soul:
‘Weighed and found wanting!’ ”

BORN IN ~ TREE.
CHILDREN
A Family ol Eleven Brought Up In a Tree
Trunk In Tennessee.
It la not an ancestral mansion,
though it has been some live hundred
years in building. The beginning of it
was a sturdy sapling, standing in a
liny cove, high on the side of an east
Tennessee mountain. By and by the
sapling became a big hollow tree. Not¬
withstanding the lrollow was so big
a tall man could lie stretched at
length in It there was an outer shell
of sound wood and plenty of vigorous
leafy boughs for shade. The hollow
itself was rain and storm proof, so a
couple of the mountain folk took up
their abode in it.
They did not bother about furniture,
there was no room for It, even In n
hollow tree measuring seven feet
across. The man put clown a floor of
puncheons—tliat Is rough slabs split
from smaller tree trunks. For a bed
they had dry leaves, and for covering
skins of various animals i-ound about.
The woman knew how to dress them
Indian fashion, so they served In large
part for clothes as well as cover.
Ah axe, a rifle, a bullet pouch, a
powder horn, a hunting knife, an iron
pot, a water pail, a jug, two or three
big gourds, a bread tray and a meal
bag summed up the family’s movable
possessions. Cooking was done gypsy
fashion at a log Are some little way
off the entrance to the tree. General¬
ly the pot sat beside the Are, simmer¬
ing and stewing. The only bread was
ash cake. For drinking there was a
choice of sassafras tea, unsweetened,
and moonshine whiskey.
The man, of course, was a moon¬
shiner. He was also a dead shot—
particularly in the case of a revenue
officer. He was able thus to feed hii
family by working about half the
time. His wife looked after the cloth¬
ing, exchanging surplus peltry twice
a year for coarse cloth, salt and snuff
at the nearest crossroads store, fifteen
miles away.
Eleven children were born In the
hollow tree, and grew up into strap¬
ping men and women, One of the
boys stood six feet nine Inches—when
he could be persuaded to stand at all.
Usually he carried himself in rather
the shape of a crescent. Each of the
eleven was cradled in the half of a
smaller hollow tree, smoothed out In¬
side with the axe and imbedded with
' need rockers, rock¬
leaves. It did not
ing Itself at the slightest touch. Aa
the big tree became crowded, hollow
logs were sought, one for each child,
chopped to convenient lengths and
dragged close about the fire. Into
their open ends the bigger children
crept, feet foremost, turned theii
heads to the fire and slept snug
through all sorts of weather. Ol
course the logs were only for storms
and severe weather, When it was
| fine the whole family slept out-doors,

The Word “ Salary."
The way languages are built up Is
very interesting, and the derivation of
the word “salary” is curious as well.
In ancient times Roman soldiers re¬
ceived a daily portion of salt as part
of their pay. Sal is the Latin for salt,
and when the salt was in the course
of time commuted for money, the
mount was called salarium, or salt
money. Hence our word “salary"
ind hence, doubtless, the expression,
■not worth his salt,” that is, not worth
ols “salt-money” or salary.

William’s Luck.
There is a good story told of a man
called William who Is engaged as a
wludow-cleauer at a certfcln big hotel
In London. One morning William, In¬
stead of doing his work, was amusing
himself by reading the paper, and, as
bad luck would have It, the manager
looked In.
“What’s this?” he said, William
was dumbfounded. "Pack lip your
things and go,” said the manager.
So poor William went to the office,
drew the money which was owing to
him, and then went up stairs and put
on his Sunday clothes. Coming down,
he went to say “Good-by” to some of
the other servants, and there be hap¬
pened to run across the manager, who
did not secognlze him in his best
coat.
“Do you want a job?” asked th«
manager.
“Yes, sir,” said William.
“Can you clean windows?”
“Yes, sir.”

Since we adopted the Columbia Stud
Hub and direot tangent spoke over
7,500,000 of these spokes have been In
use. We have yet to hear of one break¬
ing from any cause except collision or
other violent accident. The stud hubs
obviate all pending and twisting of the
spokes. Columbia, Hart¬
When you compare
ford and Vedette bicycles part for part
with their other wheels you find good reason
for recognized superiority.
