| In this discourse DR.. Talmage show,
Aow 1t is possible to help others wht
are under the pressing load of>fatigu,
and care and responsibility. The tex
Is Galatians W.. 2: "Bear ye one an
3ther's burdens, and 10 fulfll the Law
Of Christ" -
Every man for himself! II there b,
room for only one more passengeriu tn,
lifeboat, get in yourself. II there b
a burden to lift, you supervise while
others shoulder 1t. You be the digi,
while others are the ciphers on the
right hand side-nothing in themselves
but augmenting you. In opposition Il
that theory Of rclAshness Paul id.
vances in my text the gospel theory:
"Bear ye one another's burdens, and q
fulfll the law Of Christ"
Everybody has burdenA Sometime,
they come down upon the shoulders,
sometimes they come down upon the
head. sometimes they come down upon
tho heart. Looking over any assem-
bly,. they all seem well and bright and
easy, but each one has burden to lift,
and some Of them have more than they
can lift. Paul proposes to split up
these burdens into fragments. You
take part Of mine and I must take part
Of yours, and each one will take part Of
the others. and 90 we will fulfill the law
Of Christ.
Mrs. Appleton, Of Boston, the daugh-
ter Of Daniel Webster, was dying after
hong illness. The great lawyer. after
pleading an important case in the
courtroom. on his way home stopped at
the house Of his daughter and went
into her sickroom. She said to him:
"Father, why are you out to-day in this
cold weather without an overcoat 2"
The great lawyer went into the next
room and was in food Of tears, say
tng: dying herself, yet thinking only
of me-" Oh, how much more beautiful
is care for others than this everlasting
taking care Of ourselves. High up in,
the wall Of the temple Of Baalbec there
are three stones, each weighing 1.10o
tons. They were lifted by a style Of
machinery that is now among the lost
arts. But in my text is the gospel ma
chinery. by which the vaster and heav.
Ter tonnage Of the worlds burdens IL to
be lifted from the crushed heart OF the
human race. What you and l most
need to learn IL the spirit of helpful.

Encourage the merchant. II he have
q superior style Of goods, tell him 80. II
he have with his clerks adorned the
show windows and the shelves. COM
pliment his taste. II he have good
business locality, II he have had great
success, II he have brilliant prospects
for the future, recognize all this. Be
not afraid that he will become arrogant
and putfed up by your approval. Before
night some shopgoing person will come
in and tell him that Ids prices are exor-
bitant and that his goods are Of an in
ferior, quality and that his show win
dow gave promise Of far better things
than he found inside. Before the night
Of the day in which you say encourag-
ing words to that merchant there will
be some crank, male or female, who viii
come into the store and depreciate
everything and haul down enough goods
from the shelves to fit out family for
q whole winter without buying cents
worth. II the merchant be a grocer,
there will be some one before night who
will come into his establishment and
taste Of this and taste Of that and taste
Of everything else, in that way stealing
all the profits Of anything that he may
purchase buying three apples while he
II eating one orange! %l
Before the night of the day when you
approve that merchant be will have
bad debt which he will have to erase,
bad debt made by some one who has
moved away from the neighborhood
without giving any hint Of the place Of
destination. Before the night Of the
day when you have uttered encourag-
ing words to the merchant there will be
some woman who win return to his
Dtore and say she has lost her purse;
she left it there in the store, she brought
II there, she did not take II away, she
knows It IN there, leaving you to make
any delicate and complimentary infer
ence that you wish to make. Before
night that merchant will hear that
some style Of goods Of which he has a
large supply Is going out Of fashion, and
there will be some one who will come
Into the store and pay q bill under pro-
test, saying be has paid II before, but
the receipt has been lost. Now. encour-
age that merchant, not fearing that be
will become arrogant or pufIed up, for |
there viii be before night enough un.
pleasant things said to keep him from 4
becoming apoplectic With plethora OF
praise. 4
