ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

~ sou, opserNc tuat you ato picase
to be little sarcastic on the subject Q
the modern evangelist" You sneer a
him because. unlike Philip, the evangel
let, he carefully avoids the way 'whicl
is desert" and refuses to preach, save il
the great cities, in the busy centers o
religious activity. where there are grea
multitudes and much applause, and. Al
you hold, some gain. ALI this is I'm
'lonbtedly true. writes Burdette in til,
Brooklyn Eagle. The evangelist of to
day loves crowd. He knows the value
ii a h"re audience and rafting fusilades
Of applause. He will not go into the
desert on the chance of converting q
single sinner from far away Ethiopia, but
don't you see. he can FIRE his Gospel bat.
terry into whole regiment of sinners by
going into town. As he does not have
the power that certain old-fashioned
preachers had some 1000 years ago of
drawing the multitude after him into the
wilderness. be wisely goes after the mul.
titude. But then, my boy, SO do the
eloquent preachers of no religion. So do
these learned and unselfsh men who
teach suffering humanity that the evan.
gelist is fraud and all religion sham.
They likewise seek the city and the mul.
titude, and not having the faith in the
financial liberality of their audiences that
the evangelist has in his, these reformers
fear to lean upon the much despised col.
lection and 50 charge fifty cents at the
door. No ticket, no liberal theology.
1t is only the Gospel that ia free, after
all, my son. Now, do let the evangelist
have his way, as well as the Performers"
Let him 60 where the crowd is. He
won't hurt he crowd. He doesn't teach
the multitude to do anything wrong.

ing to Sam Jones. The Chicago Anarh.
lists were not the outgrowth of revival
meeting. No Presbyterian elder, no
Methodist class elder, no Baptist deacon
has been indicted for throwing bombs At
the police. There may have been an in.
fidel' or two. free-thinker, maybe, an
atheist, perhaps, mixed up in that crowd
OF Anarchists; ! do not positively know,
but there may have been; you can easily
ASCERTAIN. But do know that the dea.
con and the elder weren't there. The
evangelist many have some odd, rough,
funny ways Of teaching, but he doesn't
teach evil. He doesn't persuade men to
do wrong. He doesn't lit up his voice
and cry aloud for free whisky and no
Sunday. It is true that he gets paid for |
his preaching. but it seems to me, my
son. that some kinds Of preaching arc
worth paying for a. we'll ~ Others.
The London Bankers Magazine says: |
Within the last few years coffee has
dropped more than 40 per cent, sugar
fully 30 per cent, tea nearly 90 per cent,
wheat about 40 per cent. butchers's
meat 10 per cent. OF metals, copper
has fsllen about 90 per cent. and iron
about % per cent. Wood has fallen
about 30 per cent. Leather is almost
the only article dearer now than it was
fifteen years ago. Most Of this large de.
cline has taken place since 1882. There
is generally a reason when any extra.
ordinary thing happens in this world.
When money is scarce its purchasing
power increases. Our wise law.makers
have cast discredit upon half the real
money Of the world and caused il, in
comparison TO the other half, to seem to
shrink some q per cent. The Tribune
has been telling these wise statesmen all
the time that the men Of the East we're
suffering a. much more than the men Of
the West - their products exceeded in
value those Of the West. The above
fgsrss prove that we are right. Had
tho Bankers Magazine been honest it
would hsvs said. THE breaking down
Of the value Of silver by dishonest means
hiss caused coffee to drop 40 per cent,
sUxrr 30 per cent. etc. "-lSalt Lake
