Dr. Talmage's Sermon.
BUSIXES8 AND RELIGION.
Energy of Soul is Wrought only
in
the tire.
Text: Romans xii, 5-11: "Not sloth
ful in business; fervent in spirit serving
the Lord." Industry, devotedness, Chris
tian service are all recommended in this
one short text. What! is it possible to
conjoin them ? Oh, yes ! There is no war
between religion and business, between
Bible and ledger, between churches and
counting houses. On the contrary, reli
gion accelerates b isiness, sharpens men's
wits, sweetens acerbity of disposition,
fills up the blood of phlegmatics, and
throws moreyelocijky into all the wheels
of hard worlc. To the judgment it
gives more strength; to industry more
muscle; to enthusiasm a more con
centrated fire. You can not show me
a man whose business prospects have
in any wise been dispoiled by his reli
gion. The industrial classes are divided in
to three groupsproducers, manufac
turers, traders. Producers, such as far
mers and miners. Manufacturers, such
as take the corn and change it into
food, or the wool and flax and change
them into apparel. Traders, who mae
a profit out of the transfer and exchange
of that which is produced or manufac
tured. Now, a business man may belong
to one of these classes, or he may be
long to all them. AVhatever be your
avocation, if you plan, calculate, bar
gain; if into your life there come an
noyances, vexatious and disappoint
ments, as well as gains, dividends, and
percentages; If you are harrassed with
a multiplicity of engagements; in a
word, if y-ou are driven from Monday
morning to Saturday night, and from
January to January, with relentless ob
ligation and, then you are a business
man or a business woman, and my sub
ject is appropriate to your case. We
are apt to speak o the toil and tug of
business life as though it was an in
quisition or a prison into which a man
is thrown, or an unequal strife where,
half armed, he goes to contend. Hear
me this morning while I try to show
you that God intended busiuees life to
to be a glorious education and discip
line, and if I shall be successful in
what I want to say, I wil rub the
wrinkles out of your brow and unstrap
some of the burdens from your back.
I have first to remark that God in
tended business life to be to you a school
of Christian energy. God started tis in
the world, giving us a certain amount
of raw material out of which we were
to hew our own character. Every facul
ty needs to be reset, rounded, sharpen
ed up. After our young people have
graduated from the school, and colleges,
and universities, they need a higher
education that which the collision
and rasping of everyday life alone can
effect.- Energy of soul is wrought only
in the fire. And when a man for ten
or fifteen, or twenty, or thirty years
has been going through business ac
tivities, his energy can no longer be
measured by weights, or plummets, or
ladders. It can scale anv neurit t. It
can plummet any depth. It can thrash
.my obstacle. iNow do you suppose
that God had spent-all this education
on you for the purpose of making you
a more successtul worlding, of enabling
you to more rapidly accumulate uoi
lars, making you sharpe in a trade?
Did God make you merely to be a yard
i 1 1 i i i i
stick to measure cloths, or a steel-yard
to. weigh flour? And did He intend you
to spend your life in doiug nothing but
totmuner and higgle.'' My iriend, lie
liuJs put you in this school to develop
your energy tor liis cause and king
dom. There is enough unemnloved
talent in the churches, and in the world
today, to reform all empires, and all
kingdoms, and people in three weeks.
0. how much idleness amid strong
muscles and stout hearts! How many
deep streams that turn no mill wheels,
and haul on the bands of no factory !
God demands that He have the best
sheep out of every flock, the richest
sheaf in every harvest, the best men of
every generation ; and in a cause where

Mansfields of the earth were proud to

to toil. 0, for a few idlers and more
consecrated Christian workers.
Again: God intended business life to
be to a school of patience. How many
little things there are in one day's en
gagements to perturb and annoy and
disquiet you. Bargains will rub and
men will break their engagements.
Collecting agents will come back empty
handed. Tricksters in business will
play upon what they call the "hard
times," when in any time they never
pay. Goods placed on the wrong shelf.
uasu uooks aua money arawer in a
quarrel. Goods ordered for an especial
emergency failing to come, or, if com
ing, danr.iged in the transportation.
j People who intend no harm going about
shoping, unrolling goods they do not
j mean to buy, and trying to break the
dozen. Men obliged to take up other
peoples notes. More connterfeit bills
m the drawer. More bad debts. Anoth
er ridiculous panic. Under all this fric
tion men break down, or they are sear
ed upon into additional brightness.
How many you and I have known who,
in the past few years, have gone down
under the pressure, and have become
petulant, and choleric, and crabbed,
and sour, and pugnacious, until custo
mers forsook their stores, and these
merchants have become insolvent, and
their names were pronounced with de
testation. But other men have found
in this a school for patience. They
toughened under the exposure. They
were like roCks, more serviceable for the
blasting. There was a time when they
had to choke down their wrath. There
was a time when they had to bite their
lip. There was a time when they
thought of a stinging retort they would
like to utter. But now they have con
quered their impatience. They have
kind words for sarcastic flings. They
have a polite behavior for discourteous
customers. They have fobearance for
nnfortuuate debtors. They have moral
reflections for the sudden reverses of
fortune. How are you going to get that
grace of patience? Not through hear
ing ministers preach about it. Oh, no?
If you getTt at all, you will get it in the
world, where you sell hats, and plead
causes, and tin roofs, and make shoes.
and turn banisters, and plow corn. I
pray God that through the turmoil and
sweat and exasperation of your every
day life, you may hear the voice of
Christ saving to rou: "If patience pos
ssess your soui, let patience nave a
perfect work."
Again: God intended business life to
be to you a school for the attaining of
knowledge. Merchants do no read many
books, nor study many lexicons, nor
dive into great profounds, yet through
the force of circumstances they get in
telligent on questions of politics, and
finance, and geography, and jurispru
dence, and ethics. Business is a hard
schoolmistress. If her pupils will not
learn in any other way, with unmerci
ful hand she smites them on the head
and on the heart with inexorable loss.
You went into some business enter-
prises, and $3,000 got out of your
grasp. You say the 5,000 was wasted.
Oh, no! that was only tuition. Ex
pensive schooling, but it was worth it.
Misfortune, with hard hand, comes
upon a man and wakes him up, and
by the very force of circumstances
business men get to be intelligent.
TraderSin grains must known about
foreign harvests. Traders in fruit must
know about the prospects of tropical
production. Manufacturers of Ameri
can goods must know about' the .tariff
on imported articles. Publishers
of books must know the new law of
copyright. Owners of ships come to
understand winds, and shoals, and navi
gation, and so every bale of cotton,
and every raisin cask and every tea box
and every cluster of bananas, becomes
li'erature to our business men. Now,
what is the use of all this intelligence
unless you give it to Christ? Do you
suppose God gives you these opportu
nities of brightening up your intellect
and of increasing your knowledge
merely to get larger treasures and
grander business? Oh no! Can it be
that you have been learning about for
eign lands and people that dwell under
other skies, and yet have no missionary
spirit ? Can it be thr.t you have been
learning the follies, and trickeries, and
hollowness of the business world, and
yet you are not trying to bring to bear
upon them this gospel which is to cor
rect abuses, abolish all ignorance, and
correct mistakes, and arrest all crime,
and irradiate all darkness, and lift up
all wretchedness? Can it be that, not
withstanding your acquaintance with
tire intricacies of business, you are ig
norant of those things which will hist
the soul long after bills of exchange.
and commissions, and invoices, and con
signments,- and rent rolls have crump
led up and consumed in the fires of a
judgment day?
Again: God intended business life to
be to you a school of Christian integ
rity ! No age of the world ever offered
so many inducements for scoundrelism
as are offered now. lhere is hardly a
statute on the law books that has not
some back door through which miscre
ants can escape. How many decep
tions in the fabric of goods! Commer
cial life plies the land with trickeries
innumerable, and there are so manv
people in Brooklpn and New York who
live a life of plunder that when a man
proposes a straight forward, honest
business it is almost charged to green
ness and want of tact. Ah, my breth
ren, this ought not to be.
But I have to tell you that it re
quires more grace to Je honest now
than it did in the days of our fathers,
when business was plain, and there
were no stock gamblers, and woolen was
woolen and silk was silk, and men
were men. How rare it is that you find
a man who can, from his heart, say: "I
never cheated- in trade, I never over
estimated the value of goods when sell
ing them. I never covered up a defect
in a fabric. I never played upon the
ignorance of a customer ; in all my
estate there is not one dishonest farth
ing." There are those who can say it.
They n?ver let their integrity bow or
cringe to present advantage. They
are as pure and Christian today as on
the day when they sold their first
tierce of rice or their first firkin of
butter. There were times when thev

fragments; but they never took one
step on that pathway of hell-fire. Now Once more : I want you to seek bus

because there is a mdgmeutwhere all
def . auders and jockeys and tricksters

Now they can read in the Bible
without flinching: "As the partridge
sitteth on eggs and hatcheth them not,
so he that getteth riches, and not by
right, shall leave them in the midst of
liis days, and at the end shall be a
fool." Alas! if any of you, for the
purpose of getting out of temporary
embarrassment, dare to sell your soul,
or any portion of it, you may wake up
in the midst of your embarrassment
and say: "No one is looking; this trans-
action may Lie a little out or tne way

put one aisnonest dollar m an estate,
but it will not stand. You may take a
dishonest dollar and put it down in
the very depths of the earth, and you
mav roll on the top of it rocks and
ami mountains, and on the top of these
rocks and mountains you may put all
the banks and moneyed institutions,
piling them up heaven high ; but that
one dishonest dollar down in the depths
of the earth will begin to rock, and
heave, and upturn itself until it comes
to the resurrection of damnation. You
cannot hide a dishonest dollar.
In the review of this subject there
are two or three things I want to say,
and the first is, let us have a larger
sympathy for business men. I think
it is a shame that in our pulpits we do
not oftener preach on this subject, and
show that we appreciate the sorrows
and struggles and temptations and
trials of everyday life. Men who toil
with the hand are very apt to be sus
picious of those who move in the world
of traffic, and think that they get their
money idly, and that they give no
oquivalent. Men who raise the corn,
and wheat, and rye, and oats are very
apt to think that grain merchants get
easy profits. The first is very apt to be
jealous of the other. Plato and Aris
totle were so oppo;;ed to all kinds of
merchandise that they said commerce
was the curse of the earth, and they
recommended that cities should never
be built any nearer the sea coast than
ten miles. But we have become wiser
than that, and you know that there are
no harder workers than those who plan
and calculate in stores, and banks, and
counting houses. What though their
apparel be neat, what though their
manners be refind, do not put them
down as idlers. They carry loads
heaveir than a hod of brick, they go
into exposures keener than the cutting
east wind, they scale mountains higher
than the Alps and Himalay, and main
taining their Christian integrity, Christ
will at the last iiccost them, saying :
" Well done thou good and faithful
servant; thou hast been faithful over a
few things; I will make thee ruler over
many things ; enter thou into the jov
of thy Lord."
I also enjoin you to quit all fretf ill
ness about business matters. Is there
not something in your household that
you would not give up for the worldly
success other men have? Besides that,
if these trials lilted you up you ought
to bless God for the whip of discipline.
The larger the note you have to pay,
the greater the uncertainty of business
life, the better for vour soul, if
Jesus Christ leads you triumphantly J
through. How do I know ? I know
it by this principle that the hotter
the furnace the better the refining.
There have lx?en thousands of men ;
who have gone through the ame path j
1 1 !
you are now going tnrougn witn an
aching heart. There are multitudes
before the throne of God who were
lashed with cares and anxieties innumer
able, and were cheated oat of every
thing but their colfin. They were sued,
they were ejected, they were impris
oned for debt, they were maltreated,
they were throttled by constables with
whole packs of writs, tl ey were sold
out by sheriffs, they had to confess
judg ruetits, they had to compromise
with creditors, and their h st hour on
earth was disturbed by the fact that
the door bell rung loudly and angriiy
by the hand of some impetuous creditor,
who was surprised that the sick man
should be so impertinent and outrageous
as to die before he had paid him the
last three shillings and six-pence. Oh !
how men are tossed and driven! Ihad
a friend who went from one anxiety to
another; a good and great heart he had,
but everything he put his hand to

Yoii could count up scores of such per
sons, while there are others who tossed,
on the same sea, sustained by the grace
of God, have all the time kept their
eyes on the light-house. Men coming
out of that man's store, say: "If there
was ever a Christian trader, that is one."
Stern integrity kept the hooks and
waited on the customers. Light from
the future world flashed through the
show windows. Wrath never stamped
the floor, nor did sly dishonesty cover
up imperfections in goods. Love to
God and love to men were the princi
ples that ruled in the store of that
Christian trader. Some day the shut
ters are not let down from the store
window and the bars not taken from
the door. Men pass along and stop
and stare, and go up to read a card
on the door which announces: "Closed
on account of the death of one of the
firm." That death it is talked in
commercial circles that a good man
has gone. Boards of trade pass resolu
tions of sympathy, and churches of
Christ pray: "Help, Lord, for the godly
man ceaseth." He has made his last
bargain; he has suffered his last loss;
he has ached with his last fatigue.
The results of this Christian industry
will bless his children after he is dead,
and bequests to the kingdom of God
will gather many sons into glory.

Constant criticism of the newspa
pers comes with especially bad grace
from Mr. Cleveland; for he is their
creature and they made him. There
never was a public man whose reputa
tion is so purely a matter of newspa
per notoriety; and there never was a
public man who was advanced so far
in popular confidence and political
honor upon so small a capital. He us
a colossal example of what can be done
by judicious advertising. He never hit
upon a great idea; he never said a great
thing; he never accomplished a great
deed. He was a commomplace, honest,
well-meaning, available man, unknown
outside of a narrow ciacle; and the
newspapers liftedShim out of obscurity,
and put the Governorship and the
Presidency within reach. And now
that he has attained, simply through
newspaper influence, to an honor that
was denied to men like Webster, Clay,
Calhoun, Chase, Seward, Scott, Tilden,
Hancock, Seymour, McClellan, he keeps
hurling from the "height that makes
conspicuous abuse upon the newspa
lers. By a curious conincidence, .two per
sons with bullet wounds in the head
were received at the London hospital on
the same day June 19th. More re
markable is the fact that, though in
each case the bullet was driven ? into

both patients have been discharged

An Educational Truth.
Ttrr State has shown itself a reryuetive
frieml of education. It has stood np for
our common schools and has demanded
more funds for school purposes. It has
recosfnizetl that true education that
which, embraces mind, soul and body
as leinr of the highest possible, value.
There has been no flagsering or variable
ness along i his lino. But it hits not jind
will not accept the Northern idea that to
educate the mind alone is to elevate
citizenship and prevent crime. We have

abounding there than among Southern

Frederick Cavcfifiish, who was murdered in

nose. Unless arrested, this inflammation
produces Catarrh which, when chronic,

My appetite was very poor, and I felt
