The Sunday evening service at Browns
Hill church was well attended, the topi G
taken from the nth chapter of jeremiah
was very apt one, viz. las g partridge
sitteth on eggs and hstoheth them not, SO
he that gstSeth riches, and not by right,
shall leave them In the midst of Ibis
days and at his end shall be fool"
Practical illustrations are used to suit
our every day affairs and the lessons used
fit the times of to-day. Money gotten by
false means is sure to curse Its owner
sooner or later. Greed OF gold will cause
much evil, even causes men to do murder
In order to obtain their gold. Our best
capital is not money but character and
our life ia not weighed by DOLLAR and
cents. Diligent in business, ''fsrvent In
spirit, serving the Lord" is the mont of
our Christian business men and watch
them through their life and you will lind
they succeed If they keep mp to thei
principle. Always let your character be
above suspicion said Mr.. Leitch, and
your life will be pure ona do nothing
that your conscience does not approve of.
There is no royal road to wealth. steady
work aud perseverance accomplish
much. Honesty is the best policy.
Money made. in shady ways will surely
bring a curse with It. Put your best
work in whatever you do. even a build
ing can tell lie, IL the doors are not
hung right or the bricks are not laid
right. Do all unto the glory of God.
