Tor granted you are all Interested In this
great work Of eyangellzing the cities ard

The sunlight in our faces. We are not

feat We are on our way TO nnal victory.
We are not following the rider on the

know there are SORROWS and there are
sins aud there are Huffernps oil around
about u.s. but as In some bitter, cold
winter day, when we are threshing our
arms around US to keep our thumbs from
freezing, we think Of the warm
spring day that will after a while come,
or In the dark winter night we
look up aud see the northern lights, the
! windows Of heaven Illuminated by some
great victory.-just 80 we look up from
the night Of suffering aud sorrow ana
wretohedness In our cities, and we see
| light Atreamtng through from the other
morning than that, on the way TO
"a morning without clouds.n
| want you TO understand, all you who
are toiling for Christ, that the castles Of
sin are all going TO be captured. The
victory for Christ IN these great towns Is
going 10 be so complete that not man
on earth, or an angel In heaven, or q

Bible is full Of 10. II the ma ion IL TO be
saved, Of course, all the cities are to be
saved. II makes great difference with
you and with me whether we are toiliug
on toward defeat or toiling on toward
victory.
Now In this municipal elevation OF
which speak | have TO remark there will
be greater financial prosperity than our
cities have ever seen. Some people seem
TO have q morbid Idea OF the millennium,
aud they think when the better time
comes TO our cities aud the world, peo-
pie will give their Tine up to psalm
singing aud the relating II their religious
experience, aud as all social life will be
purified there viii be no hilerity, aud az
all business life will be purified there will
be no enterprise. There Is no ground for
such an absurd anticipation. In the time
Of which speak, where now one fortune
Is made, there will be hundred
fortunes made. We all know business
prosperity depends upon confidence
BETwEEN MAN AND MAN.
Now when that time comes Of which
speak, and all Misunderstanding, al
dishonesty and all fraud are gone
, out OF commercial circles, thor
, ough confidence will be estab
lished, and there will be better business
done, and lar .er fortunes gathered, and
miahtier successes achieved
