tain enterprise. and he lost S5,ooo IN
it! Explain that"
I will. Yonder Is factory, and one
wheel is going north. and the other
wheel is going south. and one wheel
plays literally and the other plays
vertically. | 80 to the manufacturer
and say: 80 manufacturer, your ma
chnery Is contradiction Why do
you not make nll the wheels go one
way?" WELL" he says. II made them
to go in opposite directions on pur-
pose, and they produce the right re-
suit. You GO down stairs and examine
the carpets we are turning out In this
establishment aud you will see.' go
down on the other floor, and | see the
carpets, and l am obliged to confess
that. though the wheels in that factory
20 In opposite directions. they turn out
beautiful result. and while | am
standing there looking at the exquisite
fabric an old Scripture passage comes
into my mind, "All things work to-
gether for good to them who love God"
Is there not tonic In thatf Is there
not longevity In that?
Removes CorrodinE Care.
Suppose man Is all the time wor-
rled about his reputation! One man
saws he lies, another says he Is stupid,
another says he Is dishonest, and half
dozen printing establishments AZ
tack him. and lie Is In great state OF
excitement and worry and fume ana
cannot sleep, but religion comes to
him and says: MAN, God Is on your
side. He will take care of your repu-
tation. If God be for you, who can be
against you?" How much should that
man worry about his regulations, NOT
much. II that broker who some years
ago in Wall street, after he had lost
money, sat down and wrote q rare
we'll letter 10 his wife before he blew
hi, brains outfit, instead of taking out
of his pocket pistol. lie had taken out
well read New Testament, there
would have been one less suicide.
0 nervous and feverish people of the
world, try this almighty sedative! You
will live % years longer under Its
soothing power. 1t is not choral that
you want or morphine that you want.
1t is the gospel Of Jesus Christ. with
long life will satisfy him."
Again, practical religion Is friend
of longevity in the fact that 1t removes
all corroding care about future ex-
istence Every man wants to know
what Is to become Of him. II you get
on board n rail train. you want to
know al what depot it is going to STOP
II you get on board q ship, you want
TO know into what harbor 1t Is going
to run. And If you should tell me you
have no interest In what Is to be your
future destiny would, In as polite q
way us know how, tell you l did not
believe YOU Before | had this matter
settled with reference to my future
existence the question almost worried
me into ruined health. The anxieties
men have upon this subject put to-
gether would make martyrdom. This
is state Of awful unhealthiness.
There are people who fret themselves
to death for fear Of dying. want to
take the strain off your nerves and
the depression off your soul. and
make two or three experiments. EX-
pertinent first: When you 30 out Of this
world, it does not make any difference
whether you have been good or bad.
whether you believed truth or error,
you will go straight to glory. I'm
possible" you say My common sense
as we'll as my religion teaches that the
bad and the good cannot live together
forever. You give Inc no comfort In
that experiment" Experiment the Sec
ond: When you leave this world, you
will 20 into an intermediate state,
where you can get converted and pre-
pared for heaven. Impossible" you
say. "As the tree falleth, so must it
lie, and cannot postpone to IN inter-
mediate state reformation which ought
to have been effected in this state"
Experiment the third: There Is no fu-
ture world. When a man dies, that 10
the last of him. Do not worry about
what you are to do in another state OF
being. You Will not do anything. I'm
possible" you say. "'There Is some
thing that tells me that death is not
the appendix, but the preface to life.
There is something that tells me that
on this side of the grave | only get
started and that shall go on forever.
My power to think says forever my
affections say forever my capacity
to enjoy or suffer. forever
