address many who have trust funds.
1t Is q compliment to You that you have
been so entrusted, but charge you, In the
presence OF God and the world, be careful;
be as careful Of the property Of others as
You are careful OF your own. Above all,
separate from your account as trustee of
an estate, or trustee Of an institution.
! That Is the point at which thousands OF
people make shipwreck. They get the
property Of others mixed up with their
own property, they put 1t into investment,
and away II all goes, and they cannot re-
turn that which they borrowed. Then
comes the explosion, and the money mar
ket is shaken, and the press denounces,
and the Church thunders expulsion.
A clustering young man arrived at ho-
| tel In the West, and he saw a man on the
sidewalk whom he supposed to be labor
er, and in n rough way, as no man has a
right to address a laborer, said to him,
Garry this trunk upstairs" The man
carried the trunk upstairs and came down.
and then the young man gave him quar-
ter OF a dollar which was clipped, and in
stead OF being twenty-five cents 1t was
worth only twenty cents. Then the young
man gave his card to the laborer and said.
''You take this up to Governor Grimes;
want to see him." "Ah," said the laborer,
~ am Governor Grimes" "Oh," said the
young man, "you-I-excuse me-" Then
the Governor said: II was much impressed
by the letter you wrote me asking for a
certain Office in my gift. and / had made
up my mind you should have it, but a
young man who will cheat a laborer out of
five cents would swindle the government of
the State II he got his hands on it. 1 don't
want you. Good morning. SIR"
do not suppose there was ever better
specimen OF honesty than was found In the
Duke of Wellington He marched with his
army over the French frontier, and the
army was suffering and he scarcely knew
how to get along. Plenty of plumber all
about, but he commanded none OF the
plunder to be taken. He writes home these
remarkable words: I'VE are overwhelmed
with debts, and 1 can scarcely stir out Of
my house on accout OF public creditors,
waiting to demand what Is due to them"
Yet at the very time the French peasantry
we're bringing their valuable5 to him to
keep. celebrated writer says of the
transaction: Nothing can be grander or
more nobly original than this admission.
This old soldier, after thirty years service,
this iron man and victorious general es-
tablished in al enemys country at the
head OF an immense army, is afraid of his
c:editorsi This is a kind of fear that has
seldom troubled conquerors and invaders,
and doubt II the annals of war present
anything comparable to its sublime SIM
plicity."
Obi Is it not high time, that we preach
the morals of the Gospel right beside the
faith of the Gospel? Mr.. Froude, the cele-
brated English historian, has written OF
his own country these remarkable words:
From the great house in the city of Lon
don to the village grocer, the commercial
life of England has been saturated with
fraud. So deep has it gone that a strictly
honest tradesman can hardly hold his
ground against competition. You can no
longer trust that any article you buy is the
thing which tt pr.ts,1s ia be. We have
false weig hts, salse measures, cheating, ani
shoddf everywhere. And yet the clergy
.eas saen all this groYkip In abse,ste indif-
fcrsace. Many huutP eds OF sermons have
1 heard in England on the divine mission of
the clergy, on bishops, and on Justification,
and the theory OF good works, and verbal
Inspiration, and the efficacy of the sacra-
ments; but during all these thirty wonder
full years, never one that l can recollect on
common honesty"
My hearer, what are you doing with that
fraudulent document in your pocket? My
other hearer, how are you getting along
with that wicked scheme you have now on
foot? Is that "pool ticket" you have in
your pocket Why, o young man, were
you last night practicing in copying your
last night? Are your habits as good as
when you left your fathers house? You
had Christian ancestry, perhaps, and you
have had too many prayers spent on you to
go overheard. DR.. Livingstone, the famous
explorer was descended from the High
landers and he said that one of his ances-
tors, one Of the Highlanders, one day called
his family around him. The Highlander
was dying; he had his children around his
death-bed. He said: "Now, my lads, have
looked all through our history as far back
as 1 can find 1t, and 1 have never found a
dishonest man In all the line, and want
You to understand you inherit good blood.
You have no excuse for doing wrong. My
lads, be honest
Ah my friends, be honest before God, be
honest before your fellow men, be honest
before your soul. II there be those who
have wandered away, come back, come
home, come now, one and all, come into
the Kingdom of God.
am glad some one has set to music that
scene In August, 1881, when a young girl
saved from death n whole rail train Of pas
sengers. Some OF you remember that out
West in that year on stormy night hur-
ricane blew down part of a railroad bridge.
freight train came along and 1t crashed
into the ruin, and the engineer and con-
ductor perished. There was a girl living
In her fathers cabin, near the disaster, and
she heard the crash Of the freight train,
and she knew that in few moments an
express was due. She lighted lantern
and clambered up on the one beam of the
wrecked DrlOSe on TO the main Drtdge, which
was trestle work, and started to cross amid
the thunder and the lightning of the tenn
pest and the racing of the torrent beneath.
One misstep and it would have been death.
Amid all that horror the lantern went out.
Crawling sometimes and sometimes walk
ing over the slippery rails, and over the
trestle work, she came to the other side OF
the river. She wanted to get to the tele-
graph station where the express train did
not stop. so that the danger might be
telegraphed to the station where the train
did stop. The train was due In few min
utes. She was one mile off from the tele-
graph station, but fortunately the train
was late. With cut and bruised feet she
flew like the wind. Coming up to the tele-
graph station, painting with almost deadly
exhaustion, she had only strength to
shout, "The bridge is DOWN. when she
dropped unconscious, and could ha rdIy be
The message was sent from
that station to the next station, and tue
train halted, and that night that brave girl
saved the lives of hundreds OF passengers,
and saved many homes from desolation.
But every street is q track, and every style
Of business Is a track, and every day is
track, and every night is a track, and null
titudes under the power OF temptation
ward perils raging and terrific. God help
US to go out and stop the trainl Let us
throw some signal. Let us give some
warning. By the throne of God let US
fash some influence to stop the downward
progress. Beware! Beware The bridge
Is down, the chasm is deep, and the light
nings of God set all the night of sin on fire
with this warning: "He that, being often
hardeneth his neck shall sud
denly be destroyed, and that without rem
