ippians: "Whatsover things are hon.
est" wrote to the Hebrews: "Willingin

says that faith without works is dead
which, being literally translated
means that if your business life does
not correspond with your profession
your religion is humbug.

there are many who have trust funds
1t is a compliment to you that you
have been so intrusted, but charge
you, in the presence Of God and the
world, be as careful Of the property Of
others. as you are careful of your own.
Above all, keep your own private &C.
count at the bank separate from your
account as trustee of all estate or trustee
Of an institution. That is the point at
which thousands OF people make ship
wreck. They get the property Of 9th.
ers mixed up with their own property.
They put it into investment, and away
it all goes. and they cannot return that
which they borrowed. Then comes the
explosion, and the money market is
shaken, and the press denounces, and
the church thunders expulsion. You
have no right to use the property Of
others, except for their advantage, nor
without consent, unless they are minors.
If with their consent you invest their
property as well as you can, and it is
all lost, you are not to blame. You
did the best you could, but do not come
into the delusion, which has ruined 80
many men, Of thinking because thing
is in their possession therefore it is
theirs. You have solemn trust that
Goo has given you. In any asemblage
there may be some who have misap
propriated trust funds. Put them back,
or If you have SO helplessly involved
them that you cannot put them back,
confess the whole thing to those whom
you have wronged. and you will sleep
better nights. and you will have th'
better chance for your soul. Whats
sud thing it would be If, after you are
dead, your administrator should find
out from the account books or from the
lack of vouchers, that you are not only
bankrupt in estate, but that you lost
your soul. II all the trust funds that
have been misappropriated should sud-
denly fly to their owners and all the
property that has been purlolneo
should suddenly go back to its owners
