while the church courts dance around
with their sharp knives Of attack, and one

foot, and it is hard to tell whether tne

Albert Barnes, than whom no man has &C.
complished more good in the last thousand
wears. was decreed to sit silent for yeal
in the pew Of his own church, while some
one else occupied his pulpit, the pretended
offense that he did not believe in q limited

that all the men who tried him put to
eether would not equal one Albert Barnes
Yes; amid all professions and businesses
and occupations and trades, and amid all
circles needs to be heard what God says in
regard to envy and jealousy, which,
though not exactly the same, are twins:
"Eavy is the rottenness of the bone"
Where envy and strife is, there is eonfu-
sion and every evil work." Jealousy is the
rage of man."
NV hearers, if this evil passion is 10 any
of your souls, cry nightly unto God for
its expulsion. That which has downed
kings and emperora, and apostles and re-
formers and ministers of religion and
thousands of good men and women, Is too
mighty for yen to contend against un.
aided. The evil has so many roots, oil
such infinite coIvulsioD, that nothing but
the enginery of omnipotence can pull 1t
out. Tradition says that when Moses
lifted mp his hand to pray it was all en-
crusted with mama, and no sooner do
you pray than you are helped. Away
with the accursed, stenchful, b!acSening,
damning crime OF jealousy. Allow IL to
stay and it will eat up and carry of all the
religion you can pack into your soul tor
the next half century. 1t will do you
more harm than II does anyone 1t leads
you to sssail.
1T WILL DELUDE YOU
with the idea that you can build yourself
up ny pulling somebody else down. You
will make more out of the success oi
others than out Of their misfortunes.
Speak we'll Of everybody. Stab no man
in the back. Be honey bee rather than
spider; be q dove rather than buz'
zard.
Surely this world is large enough for
you and all your rivals. God has given
you work to do. Go ahead and do It.
Mind your own business. In all circles,
in ali business, in all professions, there
is room for straightforward successes
Jealousy enteItained will not only be
