DIRECTOR BEACH's ADDRESS.
Business is an expressively eomprehen-

"Studious men seldom acquire any degree
of reputation for their knowledge of b1si-
ness, and religious men too often conclude
that secular and sacred employments must,
perforce be antagonistic, when the fact IS
that the true life is altogether sacred. Busi-

shall enlist their sympathy and effort for
their welfare. Money is an important fac
tor even in soul-saving, and the question OF
finance is an important one, and here is
where true business skill is demanded.
s'Do not incur debts. The bone of church
work and the curse of Christendom today are

work would do well to steer clear of them.
