The Denver Times is authority for the
statement that Sorocco miner was
reading the Bible two Sundays ago, and
doing off to sleep, the book fell from
his hands over the precipice, about fifty
feet high. Descending into the canon
to recover it, he found the volume omen
at the seventh chapter of st. Matthew.
while large piece of rich quartz which
had been dislodged by the fall. lay on
the top of the seventh verse. which
read:
Ask, and it shall be given unto Won:
seek, and We shall find; knock. and it
shall be opened unto you"
Accepting this as a good omen the
prospector searched, and in but a few
moments succeeded in locating the lode.

had declined $4,000 for the mine. That
section OF country is now full of pros

Without speculation there would be
but little progress, but all cannot b
speculators. One man makes venture
and fails, where another succeeds at the
same ven ure. Some men appear to be
cut out for certain purposes, while 9TH
ers appear to be drifting along appa-
rently without any purpose whatever
One man may make a good contractor
but would never make a machinist.
Experience has taught MS no surer
truth or established principle more
certain than that involved in the COM
mon saying that it is better for a shoe
maker to stick to his last and a black
smith to his anvil" In other words,
Few persons, if any, should torsake an
ccustomed calling for new and un-
tried avocation, in the principles and
practice of which they have had no pre-
liminary training. In the worlds pres
ent division of labor and competitive
market, it is as much as skill, ability
and peculiar aptitude can do to safely
steer the ba~k of enterprise Oh familiar
waters, when the sea is smooth, the sky
clear and dangers are mostly learned
and guarded against. How much more
difficult it must be then to navigate all
unknown sea, wherein are hidden
shoals, rocky reefs and rugged precipi-
tous shores. Add to all this an Occa-
SIGNALS orm and stress Of circumstances
and where and how shall the rash voy
ager find his haven? One great evil OF
the day is that too many men follow "A
number of avocatious and get them
all mixed up in utter confusion. For
most men one calling is enough BE he
as exact and enterprising as he may,
there exists not the business pursuit
wherein he is unable to find opportuni
ties for growth, improvement and excel
lence which shall tax all his time, abil
iry, capital and energy.
1t is little else besides excessive greed
that tempts the acqulsitive into specu-
iation. The main iInpelling mo i've il
pure and intense setishness. To say
nothing Of strength and means with
drawn from appropriate employment b.
attention thus seduCed, none shout,
allow their talents and usefulness to b'
prostituted. An enlightened self-inteI
est, which is only IA necessary function
of general good, should principally
not alone guide the business man i
choosing the most suitable and congo
NAL sphere Of activity and abide there
in, unless an extraordinary Macedonian
call shall beckon him to 90 over ant
help in another field. 1t is not all OF
business life to merely make money
but at the same time it is no less trll
that the most money is made in tina
pursuit wherein one is best adapted

while not failing in all needed accumu
lation Of justly acquired wealth, hi
higher moral, intellectual and socia

lr. 8risfAr and u Is Fall.

While it is sincerely hoped that the
charges of immortality against the Rev.
DR.. George Il. Bristor are not well
founded and can be explained away to
the satisfaction of the general public,
his guilt will bring no blur upon the
church, nor cast a gloom of shadow
over the christian religion. If guilty
he is only one Of the thousands that
have dishonered christianity from the
time of the baseness of Judas to the
present. In his fall lessons may be
learned which may be beneficial to those
who have not fallen and never will fall,
and especially can the young who have
their minds fixed upon the ministry be
benet ted by the lessons taught. Young
ministers of the gospel are at all times
subjected TO greater temptations than
any other class of young people. They
are watched and their society is courted
by a large following Of the gay and gid
dy of the world and even in the church
personal object worship is on the part
of many more closely followed than the
worship of TIE Creator. Ministers OF
the gospel are in all human respects
like other people and as liable to fall as
they. Only large gifts of grace keep
them from falling. DR. Bristor had
ability and the gift of eloquence in an
unusual degree, but these were the dan
gers that led him astray.
The world, no ina ter how wicked it
is, adnires ability, ana oats with de-
light over eloquence, and IL man pos
sessing both stands in the centre of a
whirlpool of danger and temptation.
There is where DR.. Bristor God, and
! from that point his fall comes with
! crushing force to himself, his family
and the church. If the causes of DR..
Brstor's present disgrace were proper,
| " probed and followed back.to the be-
ginning, the source would, in all proba'
bility, be found to exist in a looseness
of parental training. Young men who
are brought up as they should be, prop
erly taught, directed and trained, both
in the theory and practice of virtue,
will not disgrace their calling by indie.
cent conduct. Turning young men OF
DR.. Brirtor's ardent, impulsive tempera.
ment loose upon the world, withou t
the basis of sound, moral, home train
Iing,is too much like turning lambs into
a pa sture- field for wolves-they may be
permitted for a while to nihble the
sweet fertile, pastures, but in the end il
will be certain death.
