THE ???WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 16 1884. TWELVE PAGES. - TRUST FUNDS. IN ONE HOUR SO GREAT RICHES ARE COME TO NAUGHT. jf toy People With a Barplua. or Money Not Needed for Immediate Uae, Although It May Be a Little Further on Indispensable, Are Without Friends to Advise Them. Bbooklyk, September 14.???[Special.]???Dr. Talmage preached to-day to aa immense throng in the Brooklyn tabernacle. The crowds of strangers coming to the church are all the time increasing, owing to the fact that Dr. Talmoge???s sermons are now regularly published in seven different languages. A great many foreigners pass from the European-, steamers, which land on Sabbath morning directly to the church doors. Before the sermon to-day Dr. Talmage explained appropriate passages of scripture, and gave out the hymn: ??? 'Mid scenes ol confusion And creature complaints, How sweet to my soul Is commuulon of saints.??? which was sung to the tune of ???Home, Sweet Home." The subject of the sermon was ???The present epidemic of swindle among trust funds," and the text was taken from Revela tions xviii. 17: ???In ono hour so groat riches are come to naught." Following is the ser mon in full: The columns of our custom houses and the atate capitol swathed???in black, and all the flags at half mast for tho dead United States treas urer. A man at CO dies without one spot upon his name, though the most ot the time passed amid temptations that have flung flat a great multitude. Amid all the allurements of tho legal profession, and amid all the opportunity for bribe-taking on the judicial bench aud finally holding the puree of this nation for three years, yet not a half penny of others sticking to his hand. And in his dying hour he asked his attendant to tako from tho left hand pocket of his coat a check and get it cashed, so that by his own hand all tho ex penses of his own obsequies were met, paying his way all through life by hard work, and even paying his admission fee at the gates of the sepulchre. All his accounts square with the United States government, and squaro with the world, and square with God. what a glorious background to the picture of tho present epidemic of swindle among trust lands. There has not been a time in my memory or yourt when the utter and black irresponsi bility of so many men having the financial interests of others in charge has been mado evident. The unroofing of banks and dis appearance of administrators with tho funds of large'estates, and the disorder amidst post- office accounts and deficits amid United Slates officials have mado a pestilence of crime that solemnises every thoughtful man and woman and leads every philanthropist and Christian to ask: What shall be doue to stay thopla$uoT There is a monsoon abroad, a typhoon, a siroc co. Things in this regard are worse and worse. I sometimes . ask myself if it would not bo better for men making wills to boqueath tbe property directly to tho oxccutorsand offi cers of the court, and appoint the widows aud orphans a committee to see that tho former got all that did not belong to them. The simplo fact is that thero is a largo number of men Bailing yachts and driving fast horses and members of expensive club houses, and con trolling country scats who arc not worth a dol lar if tney return to others their just rights. Under somo sudden reverse they fail and wi h afflicted air seem to retlro from the world and seem almost rcadr for monastic life, whon in twoorthreo years thoy blossom out again, having compromised with their creditors, that Is paid them nothing but regrets, and tho only diUcrcncQ between tne-Mc and- chapter of pros - C rity, and tho first is that their picturoi aro urflfos intsead of Kensetts, and their horses go a mile in twenty, seconds less than their S rcdcccMors, and instead of ono country seat ley havo three. I have watched and 1 have noticed that nine out of ten of those who fail iu what is called high lifo, have more means after than bciore tbe failure, and in many of tho coses failure is only a stratagem to escape the payment of honest dobts, and put the world off the track while they practice a larger swindle. Thero is something woefully wrong in the fact that these things are possible. First of all, I chargo tho blaino on ???careless, Indifferent bank directors and boards having in charge great financial institutions. It ought not to be possible fora president or cashier or prominent officer of a banking institution to swindle it year after year without detection. I will undertake to say that if these frauds aro carried on for two or three years without de tection, either the directors aro partners in tho infamy end pocketed part of the theft or thoy ere guilty of a culpable neglect of duty for which Ood will hold them as responsible as He hol^s the acknowledged defrauders. What right have prominent business men In New York and Brooklyn to allow their names to be published as directors in a financial institu tion so that unsophisticated pcoplo aro thereby induced to deposit their money in it, or buy the scrip thereof when they, the published di rectors, are doinfg nothing for tho safoty of tho institution? It is a cue of deception most rep- jehensible. Many people with a surplus or money not needed for immediate use, although it may be a little further on indispensable, are without friends competent to advise them, and they are guided solely by the character of tho men whose names are associated with tho in- dilution. When tho crash camo and with overthrow of tbe banks went the small earn ings and limited fortunes of widows and or phans and the helplessly aged, tho directors stood with idiotic stare, aud to tbe inquiry of lhe frenzied depositors and stockholders who had lost their all and to the arraignment of an indignant public, had nothing to say ex cept: ???We thought it was all right. Wo did not know that there was anything wrong go ing on." It was their duty to know. They stood in a position which deluded the people with the idea that they were carefully observ ant. Calling themselves directors they did not direct. They bad opportunity of audit ing the accounts and inspecting the book. No time to do so? Tfeen they had no business to accept the position. It seems to be the pride of moneyed men to be directors in a great many institutions, and all they know about what is going on is whether or not they get their div idends regularly. And their names are used as decoy ducks to bring others near enough to bo made gsme of. What first of all is needed is that 5,000 bank directors and insurance com pany directors resign or attend to their busi ness as directors. The business world will be full of fraud just as long as fraud is so easy. When you arrest president an*secretary of a lank for embezilement carried for many years, have plenty of sheriffs oub the sama > 3oy to arrest ail the directors. They are guilty either of neglect or complicity. 45 ???Ob,??? some one will say, ???better preach tbe goapel and let business matters alone.??? I years before Christ tho bank of Ilium existed and paid its depositors ten per cent. Tho Bible, in more than one place, regulates the The bank of Venice was es- tablishcd in 1171 and was of such high credit that its bills were at a premium above coins which were frequently clipped. Bank of Genoa founded in 1345, bank of Barcelona 1401, bank of Amsterdam 1009, bank of Ham burg, founded 1619, its circulation based on jrettUUrer bars kept in the vaults. Bank of the gospel and let business maucr?? aiouc. . .... -- o-r- rcnlr if roar gospel do not inspire com mo* of all men;" and begs the Corinthians to ???do honesty in the?? dealings of men, the sooner\ that which is honest," and says to the Phil- 1 tb?? the k ???windier.

But now we havo banks in all our cities and towns, thousands on thousands. On their shoulders aro the ne cessities of private Individuals, and great cor- porations. In them are tho great arteries through widen run the currents of tho na tion's life. They havo been the rescuers of thousands of financiers in days of business exigency. They stand for accommodation, for facility for individual, state and national re lief. At their head, and in their management there is as much integrity and moral worth as in any class of men, and perhaps more. How nefarious then the behaviour of those who bring disrepute upon this venerablo, benig nant and God-honored institution. Wc also deplore recent events, because thoy fly iu the face of that divino goodness, which seems determined to bless this laud. Wo aro having the fourth year of unexampled nation al bar rests, the last loads of tho greatest of them just passing the garner. Tho wheat gamblers got hold of the wheat, and tho corn gamblers got hold of the corn, and tho biggest excitement of last week in Wall street, I am told, wos in regard to this latter crop, tho fato of which will be decided by tho next week???s continued heat or sudden frost. Tho full tido of God???s mercy towards this land is put back bv these great dykes of dishonest resistance. When God .provides enough food and clothing to feed and apparel this whole nation liko princes, the scrabble of dishonest mon to got more than their share, and get it at all haz ards, keeps everything shaking with uncer tainty, and everybody asking, what' next? Every week makes new revelations. How many moro bank presidents and bank cashiers have been speculating with other people???s money, and now many moro bank directors ore in imbecile silenco letting the perfidy go on, tho great and patient God only knows. My opinion is that we have got near tho bot tom. This has been the most valuable sum mer for ten years. The wend has been pricked Irom the great bubble of American specula tion. The men who thought that the judg ment day was at least 5,000 years off, found it in tho summer of 1884, and this nation has been taught that mon must keep their hands out of other peoples pockets. Great businesses, built on borrowed capital, have been obliterated; and men who bad nothing havo lost all they had. At ten o???clock in the morning of tbo first Wednesday in next November tho com mercial prosperity of this country will bogin another ascendant, and for a grander and longer career than anything ever known or imagined if, and.if, and if. If tho first! men, and especially Christian men will learn never to speculate upot^ bor rowed capital. If you havo a mind to tako your own money and turn it all into kites and fly them over every commons in tho Unitod States > you do society no wrong, except when you tumble your helpless children into tho poorhouse for tho public to take caro of. But you have no right to take the money of others and turn it into kites. Thero is ono word that has deluded more people into bankruptcy and state prison and pedition than any other word in commercial lire, and that is tho word ???Bor row." That one word is responsible for all tbe defalcations and ctftbezslomonts and finan cial consternations of tho lost four month*, and of the last ferty. When executors coneludo to speculate with tho funds of an estate commit ted to their chargo thoy do not purloin; they say they only borrow. When a bankor makes an over-draft upon his institution ho does not commit a theft, he only borrows. When tho officer of a company by flaming advertisement in some religious paper and gilt certificate of stock gets a multitude of country people to put their small earnings into an enterprise tor car ry on some undeveloped nothing, ho does not fraudulently take their money; ho only bor rows. When a young man with easy access to his employer's money draw, or the confi dential clerk by close proximity to tho aceonnt books takes allow dollars for a Wall street ex cursion, he expects to nnt it back; he will put it all back; ho will put it back vory soon* Ho only borrows. What is needed is some man of gigantic limb to tako his placo at tho curb stone in front of Trinity church, and whon that word Borrow comos bounding along, kick it clean through to Wall street ferryboat, and it, striking on that, it bound* clear over till it strikes Brooklyn Heights or Brooklyn Hill, U will be well for the city of churches. Why, when you are going to do wrong, pronounce in such hot weather so long a word as Borrow, a word of six letters, wheu you can get a shorter word, a word more accurate, a word moro di- scriptivc of reality, a word of only fivo letteis, the word steal. There are times when we all borrow, and borrow legitimately, and borrow with tho do- vine blcising, for Christ in his sermon on tho mount enjoins ???from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away." A young man rightly borrows money to get his education. Purchasing a houso and not able to pay all down in cash, the purchaser rightly borrows it on mortgage. Crises come in business, whon it would bo wrong for a roan not to borrow. But I roll this warning through all these aisles and over tbe backs of all these pears, never borrow to speculate; not a dollar, not a cent, not a farthing. Young man, as you value your worldly prospects, and as you value your Immortal soul, don???t do it. There are on dif ferent sides of the ocean breakers famous for shipwrecks, the lines of rocks called ???tho Manways," the Needles, the Casquets, tho Douvrcs, the Andcrlot. But there is a reef of rocks worse then the llatiways, the Needles, the Casquets, tbe Douvrcs, the Anderlos, all combined, and they point the sea of commer cial life, north, south, east, west, with the white foam of their detraction, and the dirge of their despair???the breakers of borrow. Ir I had only a worldly weapon with which to warn you back, I would tell you what I havo freah from the highest authority???that 90 per cent of all who go into Wall street specula tions fail utterly. But I have a mighty wea pon, snd that is a religious one. From the place where so many nave perished, body, mind and soul, keep off! Our pulpit obstruc tions must stand aside. Repentance and faith are no more doctrines of the Bible than ???ren der to all their dues," ???owe no man any thing." And while I preach more and more, as 1 hope to, tbe necessity of repentance and faith, lam going to stop chasing the Hittitos, and Jebuaites, and Gergasbites, of olden time, and give more time to chasing down modern evils that are drowning men and women for both world*. Tbe most evangelistic preacher tbe world ever saw, a man who died for his evangelism, Paul, the peerless, said to the Romans: ???Provide things honest in the sight being liberally transited means that if your lifo does not cor respond Mb your profession your religion fa a humbug. Here is a thing which needs to bo ??etd in the ea^f all young men, and aft hea ls ^families, ana derated and reiterated if this fton is to beradeftmed from its calamities, VoumWial prosperity is to be re-es- fabJVhed and insured.. Live within your fueacK Tbe highest commercial authority in New Yfak told tm Igsf week that when the great trotyle prokeout in Wall street last May there \ier* ????25,000,600 of money In su*- pense, which bad already been spent.' I tell you, it fa onli of the mercy M God, that this nation did apt go down with a cra*b,,from which a quarfop or a century could, mt tyre recovered at. v Don???t spend more than y<.?? make., Let us all reconstruct our business and it _ ??? homes by the principles of the Christian relig- ???i art*! i* venerable with th^ 1 ion. Our religion ought to mean as much o ?? ds of year;. Two hundred I Saturday and Monday aa on the day between end not be a mere periphrasis of sanctity. It ought first to moke clean our heart and then make clean our life. Religion is not, as many suppose, a matter of church delectation, a sort of confectionery, a spiritual caramel or holy gum-drop, or sanctified peppermint or theo logical anaesthetic, but an omnipotent princi ple, all-pervading, all-controlling, nil-con quering. With something short of that you may deceive yourself, but you can???t deceivo God, and you can???t deceive the world. Tho keen roan o! the world puts on his spoctacjea and looks clean through the back of your head and knows whether your religion is a fiction or a fact. And you cannot hide the deceptions' of your camples of sugor or coffee, or rieo or tea with the cloth of a [communion table. All your, prayers go for nothing. As long as you misrepresent your banking in stitution, and put iu your report of its re sources more specio and more fractional cur rency and moro clearing houso certificates and more legal tender notea and more United Slates certificates of deposit and moro loans aud discounts than there really are, and among your liabilities do not make proper mention of dividends unpaid and national bank notes outstanding and individual do- E osits and what is due to state banks and ankers. 1 have also a word of comfort for all who suffer from the malfeasance of others, and every honest mon, woman and child docs sut ftr Irom what goes on in financial scatnpdom, Society is so bound together that all the mis fortunes which good people suffer iu business matters come from tho misdeeds of others. Bear up under distress, strong in God. He will see you through, though your misfortunes should be centupled. Philosophers tell us that a column of air forty-five miles in height rests on every man???s head and shouldors. But that is nothing compared with tbe pressure that business life has put upon many of you. God made up his rninu long ago how many or how few dollars it would bo best for you to have. Trust to His apportionment. Tho door will soon open to let you out and let you up. What shock of delight for men who for thirty years havo been in business anxiety, when they shall suddenly awakoin everlasting holi day. On the maps of tho Arctic regions thero arc two places whoso names aro remarkable, given I supposo by some Polar oxpodition, ???Capo Farewell" and ???Thank God Ilarbor." At this last the Polaris wintered in 1871, and tho Tigress in 1873.8ome ships???havo passed tho Capo, yet never reached harbor. But irom what I know of manysof you I have concluded that though your voyage of life may be vory rough, run into by icebergs on this sido and icebergs on that, you will in duo time reach Cape Farewell, and there bid good-byo to all annoyances and soon after drop anchor in the darkly impcrturbablo waters of Thank God Harbor, THE STATE FAIR. President Livingston, of the Georgia Agri cultural Society, Has a Word to Say* KniTons Constitution: Permit me, through your extensively circulated Journal, to say a few things to tho citizens of Georgia in rcfcrcnco to the approaching fair to bo held In Macon October 27 to November 2. The officers of the society havo and are doing all In their power to make tho fair a decided suc cess. A premium list has been arranged, offering as liberal inducements ns they can to exhibitors, arranging their premiums according to the valuo and importance ol the articles, and will make all awards on a fair and just basis. These premium lists have been well distributed, but if nnyouo wishing to exhibit has not received one. they can do to by writing K. C. Grier, secretary. Macon, Go. The grounds and buildings tor cxhibltiou are as neat and convenient aa any iu the southern states, and are now being repaired and improved by tho mayor and council of Macon at tho expenso of tho city. But when all this shall have been done, Georgia mourn laacan active interest iu u. uoin in contributing to the display and by attendance. Without tbe former than* will not be much to be I teen, snd without the latter the display would avail but little. It should take but a small measure of public spirit to Induce every person living In Georgia to help in somo way towards 1 making a creditable showing, and whon each and every one Interested, or to be benefited by the fair, thus lends a helping hand, It is au cosy matter to have a successful exhibition. This state fair will perhaps be the only chance, soon, to advertise Georgia and her productiveness; for wo wuit ro man her that our legislature refused to appropriate money cither for the exhibition at Boston or Louisville last year, aud neglected to do so for tho ???World???s Industrial Cottou Centennial Exposi tion??? to bo held at New Orleans, 1881-188% while other southern states did so last your, nml are doing so on a largo acalo for tho New Orleans exposition, and unless wo change our state policy, as to advertising abroad or so display our advantages, iu cllmutc and productions at home so that those who come among us may ho informed, we will very soon no longer lay claim to bc-ingttbe ???empire atate of tho south.??? Tho re sults of the state fair will be of tho most benefi cial character to Georgians in Introducing a nat ural and healthy competition Jn our industries in stimulating our people to more careful and judi cious work, In imparting new Ideas and useful in* fonnatlon In regard to mattera of tho farm aud household, Many other benefits Indirectly arUo from such exposition*, such as tho promotion of social Intercourse among a class of people wham occupations too often keep them strangers to each other. My object In this communication Is to beg tbe good people of Georgia to contribute to the display in some department, and feci an In dividual rtkponidbity for Its success. Kncourago It at least by your attendance and by a manlfe*lo tion of interest In the productions of tho Industry of others. Every tiling that can lie done to obtain low rates on tbe railroads, Is being done. Tho cit izens of Macon are doing ail In their power to ac comodate visitors while In attendance. Every Now, bt it be ??aid of Georgia, that from whatever cause she has failed to go abroad with a display of her industries, she is not too Indifferent to her own Interest: not void of that state pride, nor too selfish to gather every evidence of her greatness and her clergies in tno varied Indus trios within her limits, concentrate them at her fair and show to ourselves and the world that Instead of growing poorer erery day, wean marching on to Independ ence and success.
