I propose, so far as God rimy help me, to
show you how w© may bring our religion in
to ordinary life and practice it in common
thing# And, In yesterday, pine©, to-day, 1 remark, to-morrow. ought

Earthquake swallow# the a city, and people be

life, and in that conversation think they are
engaging In religions service when there
inny be no religion at all. I have noticed
that in proportion as Christian experience is
shallow men talk about funerals and death*
bods and hearses and tombstones and epi
taphs.
If ft man have the religion of tho go#r> el in
Its fail power In his soul, he will talk oh tefly
about this world and the eternal world v and
very little comparatively about tho in«ignH
oant pas# between this and that. Yet how
seldom it is that the religion of Christ b a
Welcome theme f If n man full of the gospel
of Christ goes into a religious circle and be
gin# to talk about sacred things, all the con
versation is hushed, and thing# become ex
ceedingly awkward. A* on a summer day,
the form full of of song bird and harmonies, chirp and carol,
mighty chorus orchestra, if hawk every in
branch an a appears
the sky, all the voices are hushed, professed so I have
sometimes seen a social circle that
to be Christian silenced by the appearance of
the great theme of God an 1 religion.
Now, my friends, if wo have the religion ol
Christ In our soul, we will talk about it in
an exhilurant mood. It is more refreshing
than the waters, It Is brighter than tho sun
shine, it give# a man joy hero and prepares
him for everlasting happiness before tho
throne of God. And yet, if the theme of
religion he Introduced into a circle, every
thing iisitonoed—silenced unless perhaps an
aged Christian man in tho corner or the
room, feeling that something ought to sighs ho
said, puts one foot over tho other and
heavily and says, “Oh, yes; that’# so 1 ’
My friends, th© religion of Jesus Christ is
Jl0t something to be groaned about, but
something to talk about and sing about, your
face irradiated. The trouble Is tnat men pro

brings mo to another point. We
ought to bring the religion of Jesus Christ
into our trial#. If we have a bereavement, if
wo Jose our fortune, if noma great trouble
blast like tho tempest, then we go to God for
comfort, but yesterday in the little annoy
ance# of your store or office, or shop or fac
tory, or banking house, did you g o to God
for comfort? You did not.
of My friends, you riood to take tb© religion
the Lord Jesus Christ into tbe most ordi
nary trials of your life. You have your mis
fortune#, you have “Oh.” vour anxieties, you have
vour vexations. you say, “they don’t
shape my character. Since I lost my child,
Hiii”-’ I have lost my property, I have been a
very different man from woat I was.” My
brother, it is the little annoyance* of your
life that are souring your disposition, dip
ping your moral character and making you
less and less of a man.
You go Into an artist’s studio. You see
him making a piece of sculpture. You say,
“Why don’t you strike harder?” With hi#
mdiot and his ohlsal ho i(om ollok, click,

stroke that there i* any impression made upon
the stone, and yet the work i# going on. You
Bay, “Why don t you strike harder?” “Oh !'
h« replies, “that would shatter the statue, I
must make It in this way, stroke by stroke,”
And ho continues on by week that and month
until after awhile every man enters the
studio is fascinated.
Well, I find God dealing with some man.
He Is shaping him for time and Bhaping him
for eternity. I #ay, “O Lord, why not with
one tremendous blow of calamity shape that
man for the next world?” God says, “That’s
not the way I deal with this mar it is stroke
after stroke, annoyance after annoyance, ir
ritation after irritation. glad and after awhile he
will bo done and a spectacle for angels
and men*”
Not by one groat stroke, but by ton thou
sand little strokes of misfortune are men
fitted for heaven. You know that large for
tunes can soon be scattered by being paid out
iu small turn# of money, aud the largest estate
of Christian character is sometimes entirely
lost by these small depletions.
We must bring the religion of Jesus
Christ to help us in those little anuoy
anees. Do not suy that anything is too
insignificant to affect your character.

down through tho grain and sounding its

“Whither away, O wind, on such swift

pulleys at work in the sky, and th© clouds
are drawing water, and i say, “What aro you
doing thero, O clouds?” They say, “Wo are
drawing water for that violet. And then I
look down into tho grass, and I say, “Can it
be that God takes care of a poor thing like
you?” and the answer comes up, “Yes. yes.
God clothes the grass of the field, and IT© has
never forgotten me, a poor violet. Oh, my
friend#, if the heaven# bend down to such in

willing to bend down to your care, since He

*Tho body of a common man, tloinq a com

good fable for the world and just as goo i
fable for the church.
Hut, I remark again, we out?Ut tobrln j tho
religion of Jesus Christ into our ordinary
blessings. Every autumn the President of
tho United States and the governors make
proclamation, churches and give we are called Go together iu
our to thanks to l for His
goodness. But every day ought to be thanks
giving day Wo take most of tho blessing-*
of life as a matter of ©ours©. We have had
ten thousand blessings this morning lor
which we have not thanked God. Before the
night comes we will have a thousand more
blessings you will never think of mentioning
before God.
We roust see a blind man led along by his
dog before we learn what a gran t thing it is
to have one's eyesight. We must see a man
with 8 t. Vitus'# dance before we learn what a

cal energies. We must see some
crippled, limping along on his crutch or his
empty what eoatsleev© thing pinned up, have before wo learn of
ft grand it is to the use
all our physical faculties. In other words,
we are so stupid that nothing but the misfor
tunes of others can wake us up to an appre

We get on board a train and start for Bos

In other words, you seem to ha more grate

you all get off and you have no alarm at all.

I Compared our indifference to the brutej
but perhaps I wroriged the brute. 1 do not
know blit that among its other instincts it
may have an Instinct by which It recognizes
th© divine hand that feeds it. I do not know
but that God i# through it holding commu

And yet. how many chalices of mercy wo get
hour by hour from the hand of the Lord, our
Father and our King, and we do not even
think to say, “Thank you.” More just to
men than we are just to God.
Who thinks of thanking God for tho water

Secretary Carlisle has decided to
meet tho- treasury deficit by issuing
silver certificates against the seignor

the Sherman law. He estimates that
the deficit for the year will ho
millions, which would be covered by
the coinage of the seignorage and
issue of certificates on the silver pur
chased to September 1st. The need
for is^j /pressing mpney, especially paper currency, will

recommend the issue of certificates in

would enable the treasury to meet its j
obligations without making further I

EUCHRE IS GAMBLING
Says a Judge in His Charge to the
Brand Jury,
A Chattanooga dispatch of Tuesday
says: Judge Moon, in his charge to
the grand jury created a sensation by j
declaring that progressive euchre is
gamblinc. He said: “Not only v is i
gambling carried , on m regular . gamb- ,
ling resorts, but people of high stand
ing and respectability gamble. They
may not put down money, but they
set the example for others in playing
for prizes and awards. In these pro
gressive euchre games these persons '
play for fine pictures or gold-headed
canes. Examples are set that are a
violation of the law, audit is just as
demoralizing as common gambling.”
