. MY Dear Sir:-I want to ask you
plain question, in all kindness ant
sincerity, and | would like to have
you answer it honestly and candldly,
not in two or three years or months,
bat now-h;s week !
Suppose you were rs poor as JOBS
turkey, and had invested SI5,o0o 81
$4,000 in an enterprise which yea
designed to make an exclusively cash
business. Suppose, as matter OF
accommodation and good nature, you
had trusted yonr work out all over
the country, from hell to Jerlcho;
suppose you bad kept adding to your
means, and still 'puttins 1t on the
books Just for a few dayS,' until your
funds were played ont, like Doc.
Testers prayer meeting; suppose
YOU had claims coming against you,
in the hands of business men. VINO
had accommodated you in good faith,
and need their money; suppose 20"
had some pride in you, and meant to
be square, toea and pu,iet"ol, and l'a-
ted to see a man whom you owed,
when you hadn't the legal tender IN
your trowsers to pay his just and
lawful demands, worse than you
would like to see an lnjln or the
devil; and suppose those whom you
had accom- shodated felt perfectly easy
and contented, "shied tho track when
you went to SEQ them, and told the
wife of their bosom to answer "not
at. home;'' or came into town and left
without paying even IA part; suppose
they held your money and waited
patiently i'for wheat to come mp t"
ninet cents ora dollar, or pork t"
bring six or eight dollars perhnndred,
,ohat would you do2 Wonid yon let
yOnr debts 60" ,'.,..
".4nd smile nnd sm;'e, und smi'r,
And be q riIlan all the while.
or would you sue every mothers sou
Of them that wouldn't pay you, if it
we're the last business that You ever
transactedin town 80
If you were an honest man you
would do the latter, and that's just
what I'll be- compelled to do, and ~i(|
do, if tho Lord is God, or there is a
King in lrsacl. e 49, y:g=,>rs ]
