Meeting or me baptist social Ua'or

JLe dtnlng-rOOms connected Win IE-
zinis up town establishment were filed
lnst night to overflowing with the members
OF The Baptist Social Union, who met Tor
Tie first time since the early summer. The
presence Of a large number OF ladies formed
bright and pleasing feature in the Joyous
occasion.
The first half hour was spent in social
converse, introducti0ns, etc. Then The
routine business was looked after, anf at
O'Clock the company proceeded 10 discuss
with evident relish the elegant and tempt
ing supper prepared for them. When this
pleasant part OF the programme was coin
pleted 1.-the feast OF reason and the flow OF
soul began.
First, the entire company sang with
great fervOr, " Am j 4 Soldier OF The
Cross 7" and then the president, Mr.. ). b.
Winston, introduced in graceful terms
Rev. DIR. +. NJ. Ellls, pastor OF Eutaw-
Place Baptist church, Baltimore, rs The
speaker oi the evening.
DR.. Ellis announced as his theme " The
Moral Worth Oi Money" He began by
giving an elaborate answer 10 the question.
"What Is money:v He spoke at some
length, and with force, Of the great power
Of money. illustrating by reference to the
II n-hlNt ltNuHils ETONiu bl 'sdiilDi III
when gold was discovered, money ha-
not only n history. but II has also phi-
losOphy. The first recorded transaction in
real estate is that between Abraham and Lot.
For 1900 years the race suffered great In
convenience from the absence Of currency.
Barter was the rule. Cows, sheep, wives.
children, &c. were the media Of exchange.
The lenGing Of money is one Of the oldest Of
vices. Credit is not capital; money Is NOT
wealth. Credit Is the right to use another's
money; money isonly the representative Oi
wealth. The speaker then proceeded t.
speak OF the moral and religious value a.
money. H. knew OF no service more
dicnified and manly than mixing
monty for Christ. We are nation NJ mo-
rey-makcrs. and are subject 10 all the d..
moralization growing out Of this fact.
There arr il our language one hundred an /

Christians religion ought 10 be bis bust
ness, ard biz business ought 10 be his reii
gion. God give. The unrighteous mammOn
in proportion a. il l. used for HIS {. l0rg.
The speech was vigorous, thoughtiu',
and iucisiye, and the applause vas frequen.
and hearty.
At the conclusion Of the sucCch the
audience sang "All Hail the Power Oi
Jesus Name" and the meeting adjourned.
