Monsy-Kinss who sbiver.

Mr.. TsImage wanted to know at the
beginning Of his sermon yesterday why
living man should complain. 1--WE

thsoioginns to prophesy whittier we are
going, and there is still consolation in
The fact that We still live. Solomon said
thst life was all vanity. vexation Of
spirit and Of no good, but he was
polygsmist and his disposition was
soered. One wife makes man happy,
more than one makes him miserable. 1t
depsnds upon the kind Of life Q man
leads - to whether 1t Is worth living.

Mr.. Tslmsgs, "who 10 80 anxious to
make money - the millionaire money

they hear the fire-belI ring, aud have
seen EN- shiver when the Marine Bank
collapsed. They read the Wall street
reports every morning with an anxious

disease for gain has eaten into their
brains, into their hearts, into their
spleen and into their liver. Chemists
have analyzed the human body and found
that Il contained large proportions Of
magnesis and other like minerals, but If
soaie Christian analysist should dissect
one OF these financial behemoths he
would find that they were constituted
Of copper aud Of gold aud OF zinc and OF

There was q pause after sach of Mr..
Talmago's enumcrations that were filled
by the bursts Of laughter from his lis
teners.
This is not the kind of life that is
worth living" shrieked Mr.. Talmag.
"Thsre are too many earthquakes in It;
too many sgonies. These men build |
~ Il castles and their libraries and |
summpn the prima donna to come and |
sing to them. And they send for Dame
Happiness TO enter their portal; bat she
will not live with them. They call to
her from the upholstered balcony, but
she turns away.
'rhe men who seek public approval
lead the lives that are not worth living"
added Mr.. TaImage. "and the most IN.
fortunate men Of the next six months
will be the candidates for the Presiden-
tial nominations.
"There are reservoirs Of abuse, dia-
tribe and malediction, roared the speak
er, that are filling up, gallon after
gallon. and IN midsummer q hose will be
affixed to each one OF them and turned
on these men. And they'll have to
stand 1t. They will be walowing in the
filth and rolled over and over until
they're choked, and at every return to
consciousness they'll be barked at by
the political hounds from every side Of
the continent. Yet there are hundre ls
Of men TO day struggling for this pr,vi-
lege! [Iaughter.l
Thousands Of people who are strug-
CLING TO get into social p.,sition," con-
tinned Mr.. Talmage. "are another set
