A man died the other day in the fel-

CORNER IN CROWNS.
| do not know what a man who makes
this principle the ruling one of his life
will do if he ever gets TO heaven. They
say that some Of these men who live
money. who think money, who breathe
money. are going to heaven. Their
names are on the church books. What

not understand. Sam Jones declares
that if some of them get there the bal

How man who has spent his life IN the
supreme effort to create corner IN va
rious commodities and prey on the neces-
sites Of his fellow men, how he can en-
ter the kingdom Of Jesus Christ and be
comfortable is more than ! can under
stand, even with Christ who is love and
peace and righteousness. His life means
a corner. 1t means to get his Heighbors
at disadvantage and to prey ON his ne
cessities. He lives in corners, he thinks
in corners, he moves in corners. When
he dies, he viii die in corner, and if he
ever gets TO heaven he will sit down in

II is very easy TO say that this is SUI
perfcial view of the modern methods Of
the commercial world and is based upon
impractical education and impossible
ideals. IL is very easy TO say that the
person is talking, and he does not know
what he is talking about. Again re-
peat, any hen can lay an egg. While
cannot perform that feat. am better
Judge of eggs than any hen in the world.
Moral Judgment is not dependent upon
any intimate knowledge of TECHNICAL
ties. Great moral truths are so simple
that a wayfaring man, though a fool,
need not err tkerein. A lie is a lie.
Theft is theft. Gambling is gambling.
A spade is a spade. And that is all there
is to it.

Fifth-lt is this mania that reduces life
to the standard Of miserable commercial
dividend. Men afflicted with this disease
refuse to enter upon any work that does
not pay in commercial sense. The first
question they ask is. VIII it pay: ask |
a man 10 give money to save the heather.
He says; VIII it pay? Does it pay; I
ask him how. WELL" he says, ''how |
much money did you spend on the heath |
IN last Year," tell him COCO, 600 'How
many did you saver l tell him 50 many |
thousands He says: 1T don't pay. |
They cost too much. They come too |
nigh. They are not worth it. Too much |
money head" This is the man who
refuses 10 subscribe money to buy the |
new hearse. because he said he never
lad any use for the old one. and he gave
30 for that The idea of a commercial
dividend applied to life invariably re-
luces it to an absurdity.
No work of love pays. Eliminate love
