Il. Church.
business mans sermon to business
men was that preached by Rev. Harvey
Wendell, Of Albany, N Y. In Grace
Church last evening, the text selected
bsing Acts xvi. 8 The 6rm, which
the speaker used ss basis for his able
and interesting remarks. was that OF
Paul aud Silas. whose business WAS to
preach the gospel, and he reviewed many
of the most important events In their
career.
The lessons drawn from the lives Of
these two men were these.
Men In commercial life who havs had
unbroken prosperity are scarcely fitted to
deal Justly and chEritRbly with those who
are overiaken with misfortune But the
man who has had bis plans miscarry, who
hss been dangerously near the prsoiplce
OF business disaster, will have his juug
ment Of others tempered with mercy
Such man becomes a safe and jndioioue
counsellor TO those needing helpful
words
Another lesson. These men in their
adversity learned TO respeci their own
manhood The man to whom respect is
due above all others is the man into
whose eyes we lock when we stand before
the mirror This Is the man one cannot
get away from. We must not bo la
different to the respect for others. but
this mans good opinion Is vital to our
happiness We must have t.
Another point Is the supreme In
portancs Of taking God into the business
That Paul and Silas did, and while IL did
not give them exemption from trials aud
reverses 10 made All thess tributary TO
their ultimate success Here WAS the
secret Of success
Ia conclnding, the speaker said !:
LIST us make the God OF Paul and Slss
our God Trust as they trusted, telieve
IS they believed Serve God iu business
as they served and We shall share with
them the courage which God gives to all
trusting hearts.
