for the implanHtion Of a righteous crop.
You see aged men about Us at so erect,
agile, splendid, grand old men. How
much wild oats did they SOW between
IS years and 30: None, absolutely none.
God does not very often honor with old
age those who have in early life sacri-
feed swine on the altar IF the bodily
temple Remember o young man, that,
while in after life and after years Of
dissipation you may perhaps have your
heart changed religion does not change
the liver Trembling and staggering
along these streets today are men, all
bent and docayed and prematurely old
for the reason that they are paying for
liens they put upon their physical estate
before they were 30 BY carly dissipa-
tion they put On their body first mort
gage and a second mortgage and a third
mortgage 10 the devil, and these mort
cages are now being foreclosed, and all
that remains Of their earthly estate the
undertaken Will SOON put out Of sight.
Many years ago. IN fulfllment Of my
text, dart struck through their liver,
and il Is there yet. God fOrgivos, but
outraged physical law never, never,
never. That has Sinai, but no Cal
vary. Solomon in my text knew what
he was talking about, and be rises up
on his throne of worldly splendor 70
shrek out a warning to all the cen
turiCs
stephen a. Douglas gave the name
Of "squatter sovereignty" 10 those who
went our west and took possession Of
lands aud held them by right OF preoc-
cupation. Let flock Of sins settle on
your liver before you get 20 % years Of
a-e, aud they will ia all probability
keep possession Of il by an internal
sqaatt.r sovereignty. Il promise 10 pay
at the bank 5000 six months from
date" says the promis-ory note. Il
promise to pay my life 30 years from
date at the bank Of the grave, says
every iufraction Of the laws Of your
physical being.
