from foreign landr, and tha following sermon,
preached by the But. T Do Witt Taltnage, D.D.,
(Us morning, trat timely. He selertod for the
‘Opening hymn of the servloe that beginning:
“Mu*t J* tut hear the crone alone,-
And all tne world go free?" 11
The text wai Bomani xii, v. 11: “Notslrath-
fnllnbnilnoce; fervent In spirit; serving the
lox#.”.-
Industry, devotedness, Christian eerrlco are
*]1 recommended Inothie ono abort text. What!
fa It poaaible to conjoin them? 0, yes! There
If no war between religion and business, be
tween Blblee and ledgers, between ohnrehee
end coanting honaea. On the oontrary, rail-
glon aeeeleratoe bnalnete, aharpene men'a w.ti,
sweetens acerbity of deposition, fillips the
blood of pblegmatlot and thrown more reloclty
Into all the wbccla of hard. work.' To the
judgment It gives more tkillful balancing; to
tha will more atrength; to indoatry moro
tnnecle; to enthusiasm a more concentrated
fire. Yon cannot show mo a man whose bail,
neat proapccts hero In eny wiao been dcapolled
hj hit religion.
-The Industrial clsssos are dlrlded into three
groups—producers, manafsetnrers, trader!.
I’rodncsre, anch as farmers end miners, liana*
factnrers, snob as take thn corn and change It
Into food, or tho wool and Hex and change
them Into apparel. Trader*, who make a profit
■amt of tho transfer and exchange of that which
is produced or nirncfactorcd. How, as btxaU
nets man may belong to one of thaao classes,
cr he.may belong to all of them. Waatever ba
your at ocatlon, if yon plan, calculate, bargain;
If Into your life tbero oomc annoyance!, Tax

apt to aprnk of too moil and tag of baiinosi
as though it warn an inquisition ora prison
Into which a man is thrown, or an unequal

Bear mo this monitor, while I try to show you
that God Intended uustnusa life to bo a glor

Again, God Intended bnalness life to be to
yon a echool of Christian Integrity. Ne sge
of the world ever offered so many lndaoe-
rnenta for sconndrelltm se are offend now.
There la hardly satatnte on the law books
that has not eome back door throngh whioh
miscreants canescspo. How many deoeptlooa
In the fabric of goods! Commercial llfo piles
the land with trickeries Innumerable, and
l be re are so many people In Brooklyn anil
Now York who live a, life of plunder, that
when e men proposes s atralghtforward, hon
est business, It la almcst charged to greenness
nnd want of tact, Ab! my brethren, this
ought not to be. Bat I have to tall yon that
it requires more graco to ba honest now than
it did in tho days of our fathers; whan
business was olalc, and, there were no stock
gamblers, and woolen was woolen and lilk
was lUk; and men were men. How rare It la
.that yon find a man who can from hie heart
say: “I never chatted In trade; I never over*
animated the vales of goods whan I wee
selling them; I never covered op a defect In a
fabric; I never played upon the Ignorance of a
coatomer, and In all my eaia'o there ia not
one dishonest far thing ” Toore ore those who
can say it. They never lot their Integrity
bow or cringe to pna:nt advantage. Taey
an as pure and Christian today as on tho d ay
whentboysotd their first tierce of rice or
their first firkin of batter. There were times
when they could have robbed a partner.
• hen they oonld have absconded
w th the funds of a bank, when they ooold
have sprung a snap judgment, when they
conld have burrowed i ililmitably, when they
could ban mad# a falie sat!vnment, when
they conld have rained a neighbor Air the
purpose of picking up aomo of the fragmontt;
but they never took one step on that nithway
of hell lire. Now they can pray wlthontbeing
beonted with tha chink of dishonest gold..
Now they can read the Bible without think
leg of the day when, with a He on their eonl,
tbey klased tbo.book In sdnatom house. Now
they .ran look Into the laughing faces of
their children without thinking of
orphans left by them pen-
uiliia and henialeas. Now thoy ran think of
death without having.their knees knock
together, and tbolg .hearts sink, and their
teeth chatter, because there la a Judgment
where nil dnfrendere, and joekays, and trick
sters, nnd charlatans shall be donbly de noed.
Now they can reed in theBlole without fiinch-
log: "As the partridge utteth .on eggs aid
hatchethtbem not, oo be that getteth riches
and not by right, shall leave them in the midst
of bta deje, end at tha end shall be a tool.”
/let! if any of yon, for the purpose of getting
out of temporary ombarrusmeni, dam to tell
yodr son), or any portion of It. Yon may
wake np In the mtdat of embarrassment and
•ay: '-No one la looking. Tula .transaction
may be a little oat of the way, bat It
le only once; only once. On that ono
occasion you not only wreck yonr splrituil
nature not yon despoil yonr badness
I rjipicta. Yon intone olihoaMt dollar in nn
estate, bat ft will tot stand. Yon may tike a
clthoniat dollar and pat it down in* the very
dt-1 tha of the earth, and yon may roll on tho
top of it rocks aid moustama, and on tho top
of thoae rocks sad monucetas yon may pat all
tkobunkisod moneytd Institutions, piling
thi m np heaven blah; bat that one dishonest
dollardown In tho depths of thowanh will ha
lo to rock, end beevo, end upturn itself until
cornea to the remncctlonof damnation. Yon
moot bide a die bonces dollar.
In tho i avlaw of this anhject there aro jwo or
three things I wont tossy, and the fi rat n, let os
hsvss larger sympathy fat, bonnets men. I
think It las ehame that In our pnlpltswsdo
not oftenerpioiohon this inbject, and show
that we spprsdats the sorrows, end straggles,
end temptations, end trials of ovory-diy life.
Men wbotol! with tne bend ere very opt to bo
st>epidoosof ihoto who move In.the world of
tnfHe,end think that they get their money
idly, ELd that they give no equivalent. Men
who relie the corn, nnd water, and rye, end
oats are viry apt to think that grew mer,
chants git easy profits. The first la vary set
to be Joalooa of tho brain. Plato and Aristotle
were ro opposed to all kinds of merohaodlie,
that they told commerce was the curse of the
aierth, and they recommended that oitieashould
never be built spy nearer the aeacoaat
than ton mile*. Bat we have boooae wiser,
then that, end you know, that them are no
haider workers than those who nlta and cal
culate in atorer. and .basks, and counting
bourn. What tboogh their npparel, bo noat,
Whet though their manners be refined, do pot
