HiS Lecture Last Evening at George
 Street M. E. Chureh-Put Money I'm
 Thy Purse.
 The lecture by the Rev. Dr. H. M. Galla- her at the George street Methodist Episcopal church last evening was entitled Put money in thy purse" The lecture was under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor society, and was quite successful both as regards the size of the audience and the finances Had not the weather been unfavorable the church vould have undoubtedly been crowded, as it was the doctor had most appreciative au- dienoe. Dr. GalIaher is the same genial man he use to be when he was pastor or the Cal- vary Baptist church. Last night he was in Q satirical vein during most of the lecture which he fully illustrated with humorous stories
 The lecturer showed that American people regard success as the ability to put money 1n ones pocket. How shall we put money in the pursea One must apply every energy in keeping money. Every man can do this.
 Money can be made without any false means
 MT. Gallaher used to have parishioner who was millionaire, but an nliterate man. Dr. GaIlsher used to think of him that "God gives money to some men and to some notn- ing else"
 10 make money one must QOk D6 JUL pHS- tensious. ''Rise early, work hard and late" The Latin word is "Pecunia," which shows that it is of the feminine persuasion. There are several ways to make money. The common rule is to make money Tn any way possible, dishonest or otherwise. The one way to make money, and only one way, is to set your heart upon it. The biggest and grandest thing in America is rich man. What rules the world! Not virture surely, but money. Never for any cause lend money to a poor man. Horace Greeley loaned $10O,- 900 during his life and never received cent of it back. Never give anything for charity or for aims. If possible live peaceably with all men; that is not possible, especially with some women; but if possible don't pay any debts. Don't have any poor relations. II father and mother are poor be an orphan; II
 brother or sister gre poor be an only child. A man writes his brother that he had put his father in 8 poorhouse and then signs him. self, fsyour affeotionate brother" Dr. Gal- laher added: "And yet we send missionaries to the heathen."
 At this point the lecturer illustrated his theme by several humorous stories. Put money in your purse and you will make many friends, or apparent friends; but with money in your purse you will make enemies. Never mind, you can make amends by the use of the contents of well filled purse. A rich woman puts her hand on something in store in New York. She takes it home. But nothing is said about it. A bill is quietly sent to her husband It is stated in the pa- pers as another case of kleptomanis, Greek name for s'rich woman" But 1t l should go into store and appropriate anything false- ly it would be in all the papers, Another minister fallen from grace" and would be sent to Sing Sing
 There is an aristooracy in every country, but it is built on money. Titles of Baron, etc., are bought and paid for. Out in Cin- oinnau the Hupper ten" are those whose
 fathers killed hogs, the flower ten" are those
 who now kill them. In Pennsylvania an
 "M D." can be bought for $50; an I'LL. D" can be bought also. A "D. D." can not be bought, for they are worth nothing.
 A class-mate of Dr. Gallaher in college had his brains in his pocket who hardly knew enough to cross a horse, yet his money made kim cross the ocean in a United States civil ofice
 Money covers many sins. It makes him religious(O. Put money in your purse and we might put you on the platform at our missionary meeting. At the Yale commence ment they will put you in the front on the platform "Ill gotten gains will not prosper the owner" Yet most of the wealth is i'll gotten.
 The young man, Dr. Gallaher advised to marry rich girl. If not you might have poor relatives.
 Now the rich man, how he Is looked up to by these poor relativesl How many men will be your pail bearers. What fine monu- ment in Greenwood.
 The doctor closed with an eloquent parora- tion that righteousness is higher than riches and sought to turn his hearers to that Saviour of man who "had not where to lay his head"
