Riches VS.. Right.

RUE, very Careful as 70 now Jney
trample on the toes of wealth.
They seldom preach against the &C
emulation of extreme riches, and
when they do, they nearly always
preface their sermons with an apollo
gy that destroys the good effects it,
might have had. In view of the
fact that the desire to secure great
riches has caused more crime and
suffering than almost any thing else,
what we need at present more than
any thing is ministry that will speak
out and on every occasion, condemn
this unholy and dangerous ambition.
If we mean to maintain our insutu-
tons in all their original purity, we
must arouse a sentiment against this
desire for riches, which is growing
more prevalent every day, and the
fmtherance of watch is rapidly be-
coming the objects of our education
81 institutions. Teach industry by all
means, but let that teaching be with
a warning that after we have provld-
ed sufficiently for ourselves and those
dependent on US, all the rest belongs
to God.
This idea is fully taught in the
scriptures. The Bible teaches in tie
plainest language that we are not to
devote our energies to the unrigEte Jus
task of getting more than we ueed,
/. This is set forth IN the life of
Christ himself. Those who desire to
| Justify themselves in their efforts to
secure wealth, cannot point to SIN
gle incident or utterance during
ChriSt's stay on this earth that gives
them the least encouragement. His
time was not devoted i'll that direc-
ton, but all his thoughts and ener-
gies were for the good of the human
race, and we are taught to be Christ,
like.
2. The parable of the rich man and
Lazarus not only teaches the danger
Of riches, but also teaches us that We
do wrong in accumul ahug them
| Doubtless Dives was not very BAG
man, but by the continual gratihca
ton of all his desires, and by the alb
solute devotion of himself to secur
ing and keeping his enormous wealth.
he had hardened himself to tn,
needs and sufferings of humanity a
rOnnd him; so much SO indeed, tina
when poor, wretched Lazarus full 0
sores and starving, an object to ex
cite the pity of any man not entirel
! destitute of human feeling, was lai,
at his gate he felt not the least com
passion for him. Wealth had bru
talzed him, and anything that bru
| taIizes is wrong.

when Christ spoke OF the needles

gate in the walls of Jerusalem, but
it is perversion of the language to
I put such a construction upon it. The
/ passage says plainly ''the eye of a
needle" and we must admit that he
was speaking Of the literal needle.
This being true, we cannot lie n
@ ristian and retain superhuous
wealth. We must renounce our IT,
| tie to one OF the other. The two.
cannot 90 together.
5. Christ's command to the rich
young ruler ought to settle the mat
ter at once. (Luke 10; 21.) "Go sell
whatsoever thou hast above what it
takes to support you and those de-
pendant on you and give TO the
poor and thou shalt have treasure in
Heaven" Could language be more
plain? Could anyone mistake the
meaning? 1t says as plain as need
be, that you must dispose of what IS
doing you 10 good to those who need
it and are unable to get it otherwise,
That is the sensible Interpretation of
the passage, and those who construe
1t differently are guilty of perverting
a plain teaching of the Bible,
6. But nowhere in the Bible is
the sjnfuness of securing and retain
ing unnecessary wealth taught more
plainly and forcibly than in the Ser
mon on the Mount. (Mat. 6: 13-34(
, God has endowed each individual
with certain advantages, We are
free moral agents, and possess the,
liberty to use our advantages for
good or for evil, for God or for the
! devil. If we use them for the latter,
we cannot plead ignorance when we
are called to account, for God has Civ
en- us plain directions as to what He.
wants us to do. He commands US
and lie has perfect right to do So
to give all our time and energies,
I to His service. Whatever we do, we
= are commanded to do so for the glory
Q Of God. Now, the point | make is,
that if we give our thoughts and en-
j ergies wholly (that is what we will
have to do if we would succeed) to
J. the furtherance of our desire to get
rich, we will have no time to give to
God, when the plain injunction is for
q us to give ALL our time to Him. If
! we get to Heaven and enjoy God for
# ever, we will get there at the cost of
# entire conservation; and If we get
: great riches, we will get them at the
v cost of dev0ting ourselves entney to
d that purpose. Never were words
! more true than those spoken by Jesus
!, when he said, ''Ye cannot serve God
: and Mammon." There is no room il
the human heart for both. The love
"a of the one antagonizes the love o.
"a the other, and when we love the on,
"a we cannot love the other.
H. This is the Scrlptural view of the
~ subject and it must be the right one
10 Yet men who profess to be the fol
~ lowers of Christ are violating will
Il almost every act of their lives thes,
n plain truths, and an unholy, uncalled
at ungodly mnlsistry is standing by

GOSSIP AT HEADQUARTERS
Chairman Manley Tells How 1t Hap
pened in Maine.

New York. Sept. 17.-There were a num-
Der of callers this morning at Republican
national headquarters Among the early
arrivals was Chairman Joseph II. Manley,
of the Maine Republican State Committee.
Mr.. Manley Immediately called on Gen.
Powell Clayton and Committeeman Scott,
who congratulted him ON the result of the
Maine election.
Former Congressman Moore of Memphis
Tenn, called on Gen. Clayton this forenoon.
Tennessee said he, is a Republican
State as far as the actual vote is concerned.
The trouble is that it is not counted for us
but against lis. There is n hopeful con
dition in Western Tennessee and the solid
business and financial portion OF the COM
munity are heart and soul against fifty
cent dollars and this fact will greatly help
in securing a fair count
Chairman MaHley said: The Republicans
OF Maine and great many Democrats also,
are very Well satisfied with the result Of
the Maine election. We owe a good deal
to the Democrats" continued Mr.. Manley,
las there We're about 1000 Of them who
voted directly for US. The leading Demo
Gratis in the State came out openly for us"
Chairman Manley said that in addition
to the 1000 Democrats who voted the
straight Republican ticket, $4,000 stayed
at home and did not vote.
THE wage-earners and the farmers were
with US, ne COntlnued, and the result OF
the election demonstrated that the Chicago
plato I'm cannot stand discussion. The
whole fight was on national issues and
there was not single Stateissue n entioned."
The Democratic party reform organiZa-
tion has engaged headquarters on East
Twcnty-third street. These will also be
the headquarters of the gold Democrats,
with George Foster Peabody in charge.
