Unless you sincerely desire to be-
come a Christian, you never will be-
come one; if you do desire it, employ
every means and influence that may
change the current of your affec-
tons from selfish and sinful things
toward Christ. Reading Gods Word
is one of these means; studying
Christ's character and claims on you
is another; turning away from sinful
comprehensive is another; setting
your face like a flint against all at
tempts to draw you back into old
habits or entanglements which
might tend to harden yonr heart the
more. Above all, pray, and still
more pray for the Spirits power

A SHORT ROAD TO RICHES.
How the Africans Might Double Their
Cattle and Goods.

How the Africans Might Double Their
Cattle and Goods.
In some South African tribes the use
of money is unknown, and trade is
carried on by the primitive method Of
swapping cattle or grain for calico,
guns, etc. But, although they have
Of keeping accounts by cutting notches
on stick, so that when a trader buys
cattle for which he cannot pay when
they are delivered he gives the seller a
piece of wood with as many notches
as there were head Of cattle. These
sticks are afterward redeemed in cloth,
guns or rum, according to the wishes
of the cattle raiser, and thus serve as
a medium for exchanging goods.
We're the schemes of the free silver
and flat money advocates of this coun-
try to be adopted in Africa there would
be an easy way for increasing the
wealth of the people. We are constant
ly told by the cheap-1noney orators that
under free coinage everybody would be
twice as rich as he is now, and that
doubling the eountry's money would
double IT'S wealth. If this were true,
all that would be necessary in Africa
would be the cutting of a great many
more notched sticks, when there would
be twice as much grain, clotn ETC., and
twice as many cattle as there are now.
OF course the American silverite will
say that such proposition is ridicu-
lous. 1t is. But it is just as sound and
logical as the idea that the people Of
the United States would be richer If
they stamped "One Dollar on a lot Of
pieces of silver worth only so cents.
Anyone who can understand that by
cutting notches to represent cattle
would not make more cattle should be
able to see through the claim that
doubling the means by which wealth is
measured and exchanged would in
crease the total quantity of wealth.
