Character.


Rev. H. w. Moore, of the Presbyte-
rian church, preached last night from
tie text, "Man shall not live by bread
alone" Matt. Al. He said: There
are some things in this world that
money can neither buy or transfer-a
clean character, self-5acrifce, love, a
pure home. the hope of heaven. These
are the choicest fruits that grow upon
the bougbs of mans life. The New
York merchants used to say of Aruhu
Tappan, the great merchant, If Ar
thur will allow me to put his name over
my store door AID he will sit in an arm
chair in my counting room, | will pay
him So 900 year." A salary TO" char
acter. Man shall not live by bread
alone" 1.-The life is more than meat
and the body more than raiment.' Solo
mon is right, "A good name is rather
TO be chosen than great riches and low
ing favor rather than silver and gold. -
Some people will sell their conscience,
debase their manhood, toss to the
wiuds self respect for gold. Men will
gamble, drive bargain SO close as to
compromise their moral worth, risk
their souls peace in Their world and
the world to come for money. How
many live only for fashion. The New
York dude turns up his pants in Ne "
York because it is raining in Lon !on
So many live only for the body ike the
savage, who feeds his soul on beads
and feathers and paint, they feed their
souls on silks, the dance, cards, gold.
The world is dressed to death. Whole
families are kept poor IN keeping up
with the fashions. Manhood is more
estimable than money; womanhOod
more precious than death; character
weighs more than clothes, drink, gam
bling, carnality.
Here is young man just come to the
city. He is gentlemanly, of 20 d fam
lily and has good face. He writes &c
his mother twice week: he comes t.
church. Let US follow him: Scene II
He throws away his old clothes, gets a
tight fitting coat, wears diamond pin
and all the jawelry he can afford: be
is getting TO be one of the boys. Scene
Ill: He is petted, battered; he grows
arrogant: he has the breath of whiskey
he gets tue swell head; he now is {
Smart Alec;" he is or The trot to the
precipice. Scene "; He is on the
gallop to ruin; he finds he can't SOW tC
the flesh and reap the rewards Of vir
tue and so he grows cynical and curse:
God, he rails at the church and minis
tiers because God would not let hin
live the life of q fool and reap a b ar
vest of virtue: he loses his Job; he lose;
his character; the world turns agains
him. Scene Y: Even the devil now
don't want him: he wonders why ~
oae will employ him. delirlum tremeus
