THE BRAwLgNG, USELESS STREAM
Yonder is a river with steep and rocky
banks, and it roars like young Niagara
rs 1t rolls on over its rough bed. II does
nothing but talk about itself all the way
from its source in the mountain To the
place where il empties into the sea. The
banks are so steep the cattle cannot como
down to drink 1t does not run one fer
tilizing rll into the adjoining field. has
not one grist mill or factory on either side
1t sulks in wet weather with chilling fogs.
No one cares when that river is born
among the rocks. and no one cares when it
dies into the sea- But yonder Is another
river, and it moses its banks with the
warm tides, and it rocks with floral lula
by the water lilies asleep on its bosom. Il
invites herds of cattle. and focls of sheep,
and coveys of birds To come there and
drink. 1t has three grist mills on one side
and six cotton factories on the other. 1t Is
the wealth of two hundred miles Of lux
uriant farms. The birds Of heaven chanted
when it was born In the mountains, and
the ocean shipping will press ia from the
sea to hail it as it comes down to the Allan
tic coast. The one river is man who lives
for himself the other river is a man who
lives for others
Do you know how the site of the On Gent
city Of Jerusalem was choseni There were
two brothers who had adjoining farms
The one brother had a large family, the
other had no family. The brother with a
large family said, There is my brother with
no family; he must be lonely, and will try
to cheer him up, and l will tnke SOME of
the sheaves from my field in tie night time
and set them over on his form and say
nothing about it." The other brother said,
MY brother has large family, and it is
very difficult for him to support them, and
/ will help him along, and VIII take some
of the sheaves from my own farm in the
night time and set them over on his farm
and say nothing about it." So the work
of transference went on night after night,
and night after night, but every morning
things seemed to be just as they were for
though sheaves had been subtracted from
each farm, sheaves had also been added,
and the brothers were perplexed and could
not understand. But one night the broth
ers happened to meet while making this
generous transference, and the spot where
they met was SO sacred that it was chosen
rs the site of the city OF Jerusalem. Ii that
tradition should prove unfounded it will
nevertheless stand as beautiful allegory
setting forth the idea that wherever a
kindly and generous and loving act is per-
formed that is the spot Fl: for some temple
Of commemoration.
FRIGBTFUL FRAUDS IN FOOD.
/ have often spoken to you about faith,
but now speak to you about works, for
faith without works IL dead" think
you viii agree with mo in the statement
that the great want of this world is more
practical religion. We want practical re-
ligion to go into ell merchandise. 1t will
supervise the labelling of goods. 1t will not
allow a man to say a ting was made in
one factory when it was made in another
IL will not allow the merchant to say that
watch was manufactured in Geneva,
Switzerland, when it was manufactured in
Massachusetts, It will not allow the
merchant TO say that wine came from Ma
deira when 1t came from California. Prac-
teal religion will walk along by the store
shelves and tear OF all the tags that make
II will not allow the
merchant TO say that is pure coffee when
dandelion root and chicory and other in
greE.ients so into it. 1t will not allow him
to say that Ia pure sugar when there are in
1t sand aad ground glass.
When practical religion gets its full
swing IN the world it will 20 down the
streets and IL will come 20 that shoe store
and rip of the fictitious soies of many a
fine looking pair Of shoes, and show tia. it
Ia pssteboaru sandwiched between the
sound leather. And this practical religion
will 70 right into a grocery store. and Ii
will pull out the plgg of al the adslterated
sirups. and it will dump into the ash
barrel in front OF the store the cassia
bark that is sold for cinnamon and the
brick dust thst is sold for cayenne pepper,
and It win shake cat the Prpssian blues
