thing to those whom you have wronged
and you will sleep better nights and
you will have the better chance for
your soul. What sad thing it would
be if after you are dead your admins
TRAITOR should find out from the account
books or from the lack of vouchers that
yea are not only bankrupt in estate,
crlt that you lost your SOUL If all the
trust funds that have been misappro-
priated should suddenly fly to their
owners and all the property that has
been purloined should suddenly go back
to it's owners, it would crush into ruin
every city in America.
A missionary in one of the islands CT
the Pacific preached on dishonesty, and
the next morning he looked out of his
window and he saw his yard full of
goods of all kinds. He wondered and
asked the cause of all this. ''Well, "
said the natives, 'tour gods that we
have been worshiping permit US to
steal; but, according to what you said
yesterday the God of heaven and earth
will not allow this. So we bring back
all these goods and we ask you to help
us in taking them to the places where
they belong" If next Sabbath all the
ministers in America should preach SER
mons on the abuse Of trust funds and
on the evils Of purloining, and the SER
mons were all blessed of God and regu-
lations were made that all these things
should be taken to the city halls, it
would not be long before every city
hall in America would be crowded from
cellar to cupola.
Dishonesty Never Pays.
Let me say in the most emphatic
manner to all young men, dishonesty
will never pay. An abbot wanted to buy
piece of ground and the owner would
not sell it, but the owner finally con-
sented to let it to him until he could
raise one crop, and the abbot sowed
acorns, a crop of 900 years. And I tell
you, young man, that the dishonesties
which you plant in your heart and life
will seem to be very insignificant, but
they will grow up until they will over
shadow you with horrible darkness,
overshadow all time and all eternity.
1t will not be a crop for 900 years, but
a crop for everlasting ages.
have also word of comfort for all
who suffer from the malfeasance of 9th
ers, and every honest man, woman and
child does suffer from what goes on in
financial scampdom. Society is so
bound together that all the misfortunes
which good people suffer in business
matters come from the misdeeds of 9TH
ers Bear up under distress, strong in
God. He will see you through, though
your misfortunes should be centupled.
Scientists tell us that column of air
40 miles in height rests on every mans
head and shoulders But that is moth
ing compared with the pressure that
business life has put upon many of you.
God made up his mind long ago how
many or how few dollars it would be
best for you to have. Trust to his APP
pointment. The door will soon open to
let you out and let you up. What shock
of delight for men who for 80 years
have been in business. anxiety when
they shall suddenly awake in everlast-
ing holiday On the maps of the arctic
regions there are two places whose
names are remarkable, given, l sup
pose, by some polar expedition-Cape
Farewell and Thank God harbor. At
this last the Folaris wintered in 1871
and the Tigress in 1878. Some ships
have passed the cape, yet never reached
the harbor. But from what l know of
many of you 1 have concluded that,
though your voyage of life may be very
rough, run into by icebergs on this side
and icebergs on that, you will in due
time reach Cape Farewell, and there
bid goodby to all annOyances, and soon
after drop anchor in the calm and inn
perturbable waters of Thank God har-
Dor. ''There the wicked cease from |
troubling and the weary are at rest. -
