The poor man thinks it is chance +ho+
keeps him down; the rich man THINKS ~
is chance which hoists him; and tbey
are both wrong. 1t is so hard to realize
that God rules the money market. and
has a hook in the nose of the stock oo,n-
bier, and that all the commercial roro
lutions of tho world shall result in tho
very best for Gods dear children.
Accept the Inevitable.
My brethren, do not kick against tbe
divine allotments. God knows lust how
much money it is best for you to lose
You never gain unless it is best for Won
to gain. You go up when it is best for
you to go up and go down when II 10
best for you to go down. Prove it, YOU
say L will. Romans viii, 2S, Gan things
work together for good to them that
Q W God. You go into a factory and
you see 30 Or 30 wheels, and thew are
going in different directions. This hand
Is rolling off this way and another band
another way; II down and another nm.
You say, "What confusion in a fac.
toryi' oh, mol all these different bands
are only different parts of the machin-
cry. So 1 go into your life and see
strange things. Here is one providence
pulling you n way, and another in
another way. But these are different
parts of II machinery by which he
will advance your everlasting and pres.
ent well being.
Now you know that q second mort
gage, and a third and fourth mortgage
are often worth nothing. 1t is the first
mortgage that is a good investment. 1
have to tell you that every Christian
man has o first mortgage on every
trial, and on every disaster, and it must
make o payment of eternal advantage
to his soul. How many worriments it
would take out of your heart if you be-
lieved that fully. You buy goods and
hope the price will go up, but you are
in a fret and a frown for fear the price
will go down. You do not buy the goods
using your best discretion in the mat
ter, and then say: ooh, Lord, I have
done the best I could I commit this
whole transaction into thy handsl''
That is what religion is good for or it
is good for nothing.
There are two things, says an old
proverb, you ought not to fret about
first, things that you can help, and Sec
ond, things which you cannot help. If
you can help them, why do you not ap-
ply the remedy? If you cannot help
them, you might as well surrender first
as last. My dear brethren, do not sit
any longer moping about your ledger.
Do not sit looking so responding upon
your stock of unstable goods. Do you
think that God is going to allow you, q
Christian man, to do business alone?
God is the controlling partner in every
firm, and although your debtors may
abscond, although your securities may
fail, although your store may burn. God
will, out of an infinity of results,
choose for you the very best results.
Do not have any idea that you can
overstep the limit that God has laid
down for your prosperity. You will
never get one inch beyond it. God has
decided how much prosperity you can
stand honorably and employ usefully
and control righteously; and at the end
of the year. you will have just SO many
dollars and cents, just so much ward
robe, just SO much furniture, just so
many bonds and mortgages, and nothing
more. I will give you 800 for every
penny you get beyond that. God has
looked over your life. He knows what
is best for you, and he is going to bless
you in time, and bless you for eternity;
| and he will do it in the best way. Your
little child says, Papa, I wish you
| would let me have that knife" "No,"
you say, sit is a sharp knife and you
will cut yourself" He says, 81 must
have it," But you cannot have it,"
you reply. He gets angry and red in the
face, and says he will have it; but you
say he shall not have it. Are you not
kind in keeping it from him? So God
treats his children. I say, 81 wish,
heavenly Father, to get that" God
says, mo, my child" I say, ST must
have it" God says, "You cannot have
it." 1 get angry and say. II will have
it." God says, "You shall not have it,"
and I do not get it. Is he not kind and
loving and the best of Fathers? Do you
tell me there is no rule and regulation
in these things? Tell that to the men
who believe in no God and no Bible.
Tell it not to me!
A man of large business concludes to
go out of his store, leaving much OF his
Investments In the business, and he says
to his sons: "Now, l am going to leave
this business in your hands. Perhaps l
may come back in q little while, and
perhaps not. While I am gone you will
please to look after affairs" After
awhile the father comes back and fnds
| everything at loose ends, and the whole
business seems to be going wrong. he
says: 81 am going to take possession OF
this business-you know | never fully
surrendered it-and henceforth consider
yourselves subordinates. Is he not
right in doing it? He saves the business.
The Lord seems to let us go on In life
guided by our own skill, and we make
miserable work of it. God comes down
to our shop, or our store, and says:
'Things are going wrong. l come to
take charge. / am master, and L know
what is best, and I proclaim my au-
thority." We are merely subordinates.
1t is like q boy at school with a long
sun that he cannot do. He has been
working at it for hours, making figures
here and rubbing out figures there, and
it is all mixed up, and the teacher,
looking oyer the boys shoulder, knows
that he cannot get out Of it, and clean
Ing the slate says, "Begin again" Just
so God does to us. Our affairs get into
IN inextricable ENHANCEMENT, and he
RIBS everything out and says, begin
againl'' Is he not wise and loving III so
doing?
think the trouble is that there Is SO
large a difference between the divine
and the human estimate as to what Is
enough. 1 have heard of people STRIVING
for that which is enough, but l never
heard of any one who had enough.
| What God calls enough for man man
calls too little. What man calls enough
God saws is too much. The difference
between a poor man and q rich man Is
only the difference in banks. The r1cn
man puts his money in the Washington
