There was large establishment in New
York that said to young man, "We
want you to start tomorrow afternoon
Sunday afternoon-at O'Clock for Pitts
burg" "Oh, replied the young man,
~ never travel on Sunday" "Well," said
the head man Of the firm, "you must go.
We have got to make time, and you must
/ go tomorrow afternoon at o'clock" The
young man said, ~ can't go; 1t is against
my conscience; I can't 60" "Well, said
the head man Of the firm, "then you will
have to lose your situation. There are
plenty of men who would like to go" The
temptation was too great for the young
man, and he succumbed to it. He obeyed
orders. He left on the o'clock train Sun
day afternoon for Pittsburg Do you want

young man has gone down into life Of

out of that rest The bitter curse Of Al
mighty God will rest upon that CONNER

SO acting. You have no business here Go
out and call that boy back. There was a
merchant in 1887 who wrote: II should
have been dead man had it not been for
tho Sabbath. Obliged to work from morn
ing until night through the whole week,
I felt on Saturday, especially Oh Saturday
afternoon, that must have rest. 1t was
like going into dense fog. Everything
looked dark and gloomy, as If nothing
could be saved. dismissed all and kept
the Sabbath in the old way On Monday
it was all sunshine, but had 1t not been
for the Sabbath have no doubt should
have been in my grave" Now, I say if the
Sabbath is good for the employer 1t Is
good for the employee. Young man, the
dollar that you earn on the Sabbath is a
redhot dollar, and if you put it intoa bag
with 5000 honest dollars that rcdhot dol
lar will burn hole through the bottom
of the bag and let out all the 5000 honest
dollars with 1t.
A Place to Study.
But l see you change your mind, and
you are going on Monday morning, and
see you take the train-Pennsylvania or
the Baltimore and Ohio, or the Hudson
River, or the Erie, or the Harlem, or the
New Haven train. For few weeks now
you will pass half of your time in the rail
train. How are you going to occupy the
time? Open the valiss and take out book
and begin to read Magnificent opportu-
mites have our commercial travellers for
gaining information above all other clerks
or merchants. The best place in the world
to study is rail train. know it by ex-
perience Do not do as some commercial
travellers do-as many of them do, as most
Of them do-sit reading the same newspa-
Per over and over again and all the ad-
vertisements through and through, then
sit for two Or three hours calculating the
profits they expect to make, then spending
two or three hours looking listlessly out
of the window, then spending three or
four hours in the smoking car, the nasti-
est place in Christendom, talking with
men who do not know as much as you do.
Instead of that, call William Shakespeare,
the dramatist, and John Ruskip, the es-
sayist, and Tennyson, the poet, and Ban
croft and Macaulay, the historians, and
Ezekiel and Paul, theinspired men Of God,
and ask them to sit with you and talk
with you, as they will If you ask them. I
hear you say: II do wish could get out
of this business Of commercial travelling.
