anything, without having to grapple with
difficulties. The young man who waits
for some one to die, to get money to start
in business will never make d respectable
figure in the world. The only money that
benefits a man is that which he makes
himself. Worthless and contemplate is
he who marres what he has not the man
hood to make, and escapes from the impe
curiosity to which his idleness has brought
him by settling down upon his mother-in-
law. The only consolation he 1.-THE speak
er) could find in thinking about such an
individual is that if she at all resembles
some mothers in-law he had seen, his posi-
ton in life is not very comfortable.
There are some people who never take
the trouble to think for themselves, but
are quite content to take ideas just as they
find them. Where shall we go to fad
original thinkers? Not to Congress. for
the only original thing we can find there is
original sin; not in the lecture-room-as
well look for mellow grapes at the icy poles
not in the pulpit, for alas! how few stand
within that sacred place and dare to be
themselves: how few have the courage tc
break away from creeds and turn to some
thing new. There is not one church in
fifty in which you can hear anything more
than you have heard fifty times before
The Gospel is not deficient. it presents {
field az broad as the universe from which
the diligent preacher may bring forth new
things. The ministers will not trust them
selves, they are afraid that they might b.
tried for damnable heresy if they say any
thing out of the beaten track. Such ;
man is sure of three things dull sermon

spirit of,conformity is nowhere SO notice

THE "GIFr ENTERPRISE ,

exploded, hut hat the parties who are engineer
ing the scheme are sending their prospectuses

very quietly; there is not even little square

that the fraud is still alive and kicking. The

does not seem to trouble them much. Judge
