THE MAN WHO BRINGS THE ICE.

THE MAN WHO BRINGS THE ICE.
The man with the melon is welcome still,
And the man with the cream is nice;
But the mellow fellow who fills the bill
Is the man who brings the ice.
Who drops it there,
In ten-cent slice,
And cOOlS the air

And I" Isn't he good and nice"'
They cry, as Scampering out they 90
For chat with the man with ice
Each outstretched hand
Gets little slice;
0, it's fairy land
When the man brings ice.
The horse that he drives looks wet and
cool;
His wagon Of rude device,
The heat divides with its freezing sides,
A-drip from the blocks Of ice,
And here and there,
AS he saws a slice,
He cOOls the air
With his lee Ice, Ice"
So, the man with the melon is welcome
still,
And the man with the cream is nice;
But the mellow fellow who fills the bill
Is the man with the daily ice.
Who drops it there,
In a ten-cent slice,
And cOOls the air

for a Christian to live in it. and until
it is thus recrcated the curse of God. the
God OF truth and righteousness, will
withcr and blast and strike with destruc-
ton. The God OF the widow and Of
the orphan will have his days OF reckon
ing. The God OF the homeless and of the
friendlcss and OF the wretched and help
less will have his day OF reckoning and
of wrath It must come because his laws
have been violated in the course of the
daily life of our business world. The
business that closhes with Christianity
must go down. 1t clashes with the very
stars OF heaven.
Hear the prophetic voice OF John
Ruskln again:
"Any given accumulation of CONNER
cial wealth may be Indicative on the one
hand OF faithful industries, progressive
energies and productive ingenuities, or
on the other it may be Indicative of
mortal luxury, merciless tyranny, ruin
Gus chicanery. Some treasures are heavy
with human tears, as i'll stored harvest
with untimeIy. rain, and some gold is
brighter in sunshine than it is in sub
stance.
And these are not, observe, merely
moral or pathetic attributes of riches
which the seeker OF riches may, if he
chooses, despise. They are literally
and sternly material attributes Of riches,
depreciating and exalting incidentally
the monetary Specification OF the sum in
question. One mass of money is the out
come of action which has created-an-
other OF action which has annihiiated-
ten times as much in the gathering of it.
Such and such strong hands have been
paralyzed, as ii they had been numbed
by nightshade; SO many strong mems
courage broken; 50 many productive
operations hindered-thls and the other
false direction given to labor and lying
image Of prosperity set up On Dura plains
dug into seven times heatel! furnaces.
THAT which seems to be wealth may
in verify be only the gilded index OF far
reaching ruin; a Wrecker's handful Of coin
CLEANED from the beach to which he has
beguiIed an argosy; a camp followers
bundle Of rags unWrapped from the
breasts of goodIy soldiers dead; the pur-
chase pieces of potter's fields, wherein
shall be buried together the citizen and
the stranger.

apostolic age, in the age of the heroes
and the martyrs. There is Il call to-day
for the Christian merchant who is will
INC to die rather than to do wrong, as
there never was Il call for the Christian

John RuSkin has most graphically and
powerfully expressed this truth in his

He shows thai:
The soldiers profession is to defend
the nation.
The pastor to teach it,
