Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1886-10-25
Iesus created them He said 10 those

Jesus created them He said to those
around him: "If you prey upon your
neighbor, and get the best of him, YOU will
get the worst of it in the long run" He
taught them to have confidence in their
fellow-man. That is all there is in bills of
exchange. A bill of exchange issued to
you in England will take you anywhere in
the civilized world. The merchant or
banker in Europe, Asia, Africa or South
America, anywhere where business is trans
acted, will honor a bill of exchange, al
though he does not know the name of the
man who drew it, nor who it wss drawn
for. Seven hundred years ago banks were
something unknown. They were founded
upon mans confidence in man, as taught
by Jesus on that day when he was ad-
dressing the multitude on the side of the
mountain. He could see way down
the distant future, when the little bills of
exchange would open up the commerce of
the world, and cover the ocean with fleets
of whlte-wlnged messengers, conducting a
trade that could not be prosecuted except
by following the ipjunctions of his teach
ings.
He said there was not word in any Ian
guage except the English to indicate home.
They have residence, etc., but none that
conveys the meaning expressed by home.
He pictured home with father and mother
the little boys and girls; the old folks and
grown children the old folks passed away
the family burial plot in the cemetery
the memories of happy or ill-spent lives,
in language most beautiful and impressive.
Jesus lifted up, elevated women, made her
mans equal made man and woman one,
and to-day every child knows his father
and every woman trusts her husband.
Christ said unto them, go preach to the
entire world" We must give to all ma
tons what we can of our success in govern
ment, what we can of our ed
ucation and what we can of
Christianity. Christianity to-day has
more followers than any other reli-
gion. During the last ten years it has gone
ahead 1t has accomplished more in the
last hundred years than in the five hundred
preceding. Missionary work is being Wig
orously prosecuted throughout the world.
Some are opposed to foreign missionary
service, and say convert those at home first
and afterward attend to the heather.
This was wrong. The gospel should
be preached everywhere. Paul began
on the projectile theory. He would plant
it one place and leap to another, and
Christ's followers in the first 800 years in
this way preached the gospel to the then
known world. They then settled down
and began to preach only at home, and
much of the work of years of preaching
was thus lost.
The speaker gave some interesting OBJ
seryance and experience in the missionary
work of China and Mexico, showing the
hardships endured, dangers risked, and de-
voted and consecrated lives of Christian men
and women who have left the comforts
ofhome, the coEpanionship of relatives and
friends, to labor for Christ with the be-
nighted heather. They are selected for
these missions because they are brave
Christians. Christ said, Go We into all
the world and preach my word to all the
people" and they obey his command with
out murmuring. He also said that when
the shepherd lost one sheep he left the
ninety and nine and went to find the one
| that was lost.
At the close of the sermon a collection
was taken up for the benefit of the foreign
| mission.
