PURE
WATER,

If the advice given in those three
words is needed, good health will fol
low. City water is not good for many
reasons, principally, because it is con-
taminated with vegetable and putrid
matter OF all descriptions A simple
analysis shows this to be fact.

A GOOD SERMON.

Brother Atherton gave. in the Christ
ran Church on Sunday evening, some
excellent advice ON the matter of stock
speculation. If people, old and young
would follow it, there would be mucn
less misery here at no very distant
day. But the old and The young VIII
not follow his advice, because they I'VE
in an age when the air they breaohe Is
infected with speculative germs, ana
great majority of the largest fortunes
have been made by specializing. Ninety
per cent of hose who engage IN the
speculations fail and disappear from
the stock exchanges, but the ten re-
manning per cent. remain as the shin
ing lights of great fortunes, which the
people worship, as the Persians wor-
ship fire.
1t is the examples Of success In bust
ness like that present in Brother Ather-
toms own life that dazzles the CROWD.
For the crowd does not distinguish be-
tween the success due to his industry,
patience. nerve, and integrity, and the
success due to events, like the Cuban
war for instance or to the Reciprocity
treaty, over which he had no control,
and which a wise man calls his good
fortune.
The fact that Brother Atherton has
been very successful as it is called in
a worldly sense, is misleading to the
mind OF the crowd If he had given in
detail the history of all Of the sugar
plantations during che last forty years,
the crowd would have learned that
there was vast amount OF anxiety and
labor besides speculation in it, due to
the condition of things. The crowd
cares nothing, how yer, for this history.
1t looks at the few instances of sue
cessful men, and expects to so ''cross
lots" to wealth instead of travelling
over the stony roads that many of the
successful men have passed.
Brother Atherton is not quite ac-
curase In declaring that speculation is
Immoral when it is conducted without
value as basis, as for instance the
buying and selling of wheat. without
owning it.
A vast amount tof the legitimate bust |
ness of the country is carried On with |
out owning the articles dealt in. The |
iron merchants buy pig iron, the dry |
goods merchants buy cloths, the copper
merchants buy copper, and these ar
ticles are bought on contracts with
out ownership or payment, and these
contracts are sold to those who need
the articles, but have not anticipated a
rise in prices. These contracts without |
possession, however, are not hap-haz- |
ard, but are founded ON experience, |
thought,-and these are en-
titled to an equivalent of profit. A
which is legitimate bust |
ness i'm one case, is speculation or
gambling in another case. Homicide
may be a crime or virtuOuS act, ac-
corling to the circumstances. The |
lines of demarkation between gambling |
and legitimate business are shadowy |
The moral quality of any act is best de- |
fined after it's effect on the mind of the |
author of it is known.
