The work of the masculine Whlsperer
is chiefly seen in business em0arraass-
ment. Hundreds of you at some time
have had business troubles. In nine
cases cut of ten the work was done by
whisperers. All was going on smoothly,
until one day some one whispered sus-
picion about your credit. Perhaps you
sold your carriages because you thought
1t was a useless expense. The whisper
ers began to wonder why you sold IT.
They said: "Perhaps his business Is GO
ing down." eyes, it must be going
down." Perhaps you had to borrow
money from bank. Some director
whispered it outside. You lost heavily
by the failure of a friend. Ine suS-
piciOn that you could not bear the pres
sure was started, and it leap0d from lip
to lip until everybody whom you hap
pened to owe wanted his money,
and the business world closed In on
you like a pack of wolves, and, with
assets more than enough to meet your
liabilities crushed in everything. How
many misapprehenS1Ons OF THIS Knd
business men suffer. We discuss some
times in ministerials5 ohp8ehes why SO
many commercial gentlemen do not at
by the time Saturday night comes they
are tagged out with the annoyances OF
the week. They have had enough mean
ness practiced on them to leave their
neryOus system all a-tWitch. Many do
not understand why the audience as
sembled here on Sabbaths diners from
any Sabbath audience on earth IN nav,
ing a majority of men. Ii Is because l
preach SO much to business men, and L
20 LOT 10 L.
in PRAYER or sermon, to utter sympathy
for those in commercial struggle, and L
remember now that nine-tenths OF that
struggle is made by the whisperers. Ii
people would mind their own business
we would have the millennium next
week. These gad-abOuts, these tale
bearers, these back-biters, these ever
lasting snOOps-I hate them with We
hement and holy and ever-increaslng
hatred, and L love to hate them. one
of the worst of these creatures Is the
one whe brings to your ears all the
harsh things they have ever heard SAID
against your personal appearance, OF
against your family, ut against your
style of business. They gather IL up
and cackle while they see you Wrlthe
under it. They tell it i'll the worst form,
and leave out the eXtenuaGlDg clrculn-
stances; and first having made your feel
ings raw, they take this BRINE, TINS tur-
pentine. this aquafOrtlS, and run IL III
with a coarse towel, and rub it in till IL
sOaks clear to the bone. They make you
pin-CushiOn, into which they stick all
the sharD-pOinted things they have ever
heard. They beg YOU not to say any
thing about it. Nov, don't bring me
into the scrapep' They aggrayate you
to the point of profanity, and then won
der you don't go off singing psalmtunes.
They turn you on spit before hot
fire, and wonder you are not all absorb
ed in gratitude to them for turning you.
Peddlers of nightshadel Peddlers of
Canada thistlel PeddleTs of Dux vOm-
lea! They sometimes get you i'll cor
ner, and you can't without rudeness, eS-
cape; and they tell you all about this
one, end all about that one, and all
about the other one, and they talk, and
talk, and talk, and talk, aud talk, and
at last go away, leaving the place ike
barnyard the night after foxes have
been dOwn-here a wing, there a claw,
and yOnder an eye, and here crop. How
they do make the feathers fly. COmpar-
ed with the defamation of good name, 1T
would be quite an innocent and COM
mendable business to go round with
box of matches in your pocket and IA
zOr in your hand, to see how many hou-
ses you could burn down and how many
thr0atS you could CUT. a woman dI COLL
fession told the priest she had been gull
ty of slandering her neighbor. The
priest gave her thistle, and told her to
90 and scatter it on the fields and then
come back. ,On her return the priest
said: "GO, now, and gather up all those
thistle-seeds When she declared she
could not, he said TO her: Neither can
you gather up the evil words you have
spoken" There is hardly man or wO-
man on earth but has had the detractOrs
after him or her. John Wesley's wife
began to whisper about him; whispered
ali over England; whispered until they
dissolved partnership. Jesus Christ
was charged with drinking too much
and keeping bad cOmpany-"a W1ne-bIb-
Der and friend of publicans and sin
ners." Take the best man in The Wor'd
and put detective on his track; watch
him for ten years, seeing where he goes
and how long he stays, and when he
comes, and all he does, with desire to
destroy him, and you can make him ap-
pear despieable. But If it is wrong to
despoil mans good name, how much
| worse to damage a wOman's reputation
That style Of infamous work is going on
