come into the delusion which has ruined
so many men, Of thinking because a

God has given you.
In this vast assemblage there may be
some who have misappropriated trust
funds. Put them back, or, If you have
so hopelessly involved them that you

window. and he saw his yard full Of
goods Of all kinds. He wondered, and
asked the cause Of all this. ''Well, y

have been worshipping permit us to
steal, but according to what you said
yesterday, the God Of heaven and earth
will not allow this, so we bring back
all these goods, and we ask you to help
us IN taking them to the places whore
they belong" If next Sabbath all the
ministers in America should preach
sermons on the abuse Of trust funds,
and on the evils Of purloinlng, and the
sermons were all blessed Of God, and
regulations were made that all these

you, young mau, that the dish0nesties

Will seem to be very insignificant, but
they will grow up until they will over

who suffer from the malfeasance OF
others, and every honest man, woman
