THE YOUNG MANS CHANGES.

HE W MAN - ot1A\tES.
The million dollar salary voted to
Mr.. Schwab by the steel trust caused
numerous republican editors to write
enthusiastic articles on the opportun-
tiles offered to young men by the great
corporations. The subject has now
been taken UP by debating societies
and the school boys are investigating
the matter for themselves. That Mr..
Schwab's rise to fame and fortune has
been rapid there is no doubt, neither
is there any doubt that his present pO-
SitiOn is attractive to many, but the
very fact that his case has attracted
SO much attention is conclusive proof
that it is extraordinary. He has won
the capital prize in the industrial lot
terry. but where a system of monopoly
offers such an opportunity to one man
it closes the door of opportunity to
thousands of others equally able and
deserving.
When all the great industries are
controlled by trusts. there will be a
few big salaried officials and the re-
mainder of the employees will be con-
demned to perpetual clerkships with
no possibility of independence in the
business world.
If the present tendency toward con-
sOlidatiOn becomes permanent it is
only a question of time when the prin-
cipal positions in the corporations will
go to relatives and favOrites, and de-
scend from generation to generation.
Competition puts premium on
brains; monopoly puts premium on
blood.
Young men, and old men for that
matter. will find that industrial indie
pendence will give sufficient Oppor-
tunity to a large number of people
while the trusts will give an unusual
opportunity to small number Of
people

life is an inexplicable tangle. Things
turn out differently from what was
supposed. There is a useless woman

There is good man with $500 of in

he lost his fortune all the carriages
you could count on one finger. The
week before financial trouble began
people all took off their hats to him as
he passed down the street. The week
his financial prospects were under dis

23.421 During the same year 20
Ill divorces were granted in ali the
world outside Of the United States.
There was an excess of 1861 divorces
in this country as compared with the
remainder of the world. OF foreign
countries the smallest number of di-
vorces in the given year was in Can
ada. where only twelve were granted.
Next to the United States the largest
number was in France with 6945 in
the year. Germany was close second
with only 100 less.
More than 40 per cent Of all divorces
granted in the United States is on the
ground of desertion. and divorces arc
five times as frequent in the city rs
in the country districts.

All Is for the Best.
There are hundreds of people who
are walking day by day in the sublime
satisfaction that all is for the best, all
things working together for good for
their soul. How man can get along
through this life without the explana-
ton is to me a mystery. What. Is
that child gone forever? Are you new
er to get it back? Is your property
gone forever? Is your soul to be bruis-
ed and to be tried forever? Have you
no explanation. no Christian explana-
ton, and yet not maniac? But when
you have the religion of Jesus Christ
in your soul it explains everything so
far as it is best for you to understand.
You look off in life. and your soul is
full of thanksgiving to God that you
are so much better off than you might
be. A man passed down the street
without any shoes and said: II have
no shoes. Isn't it a hardship that |
have no shoes? Other people have
shoes. No shoes, no shoes" until ne
saw a man who had no feet. Then he
learned a lesson. You ought to thank
God for what he does instead of
grumbing for what he does not. God
arranges all the weather in this world
the spiritual weather, the moral
weather. as we'll as the natural wealth
err. What kind of weather will it be
today" said someone to a farmer. The
farmer replied, 1T will be such wealth
er as 1 like What do you mean by
that" asked the other. We'll" said
the farmer. cit will be such weather
as pleases the Lord, and what pleases
the Lord pleases me-"

one bending over the grave of the
dead. What is going to be the conso-

ISOLATION on that grave is what falls
from the throne of God. Sunshine.

The Celestial Profession.

And then l stand at the gate of the
celestial city to see the professions
come out, and 1 see a long procession
OF little children, with their arms full
of flowers, and then 1 see a procession
of kings and priests moving in celes-
tial pageantry-a long procession. but
no black tasseled vehicle, no mourn
ing group, and / say: How strange
it is! Where is your Greenwood?
Where is your Laurel Hill? Where is
your Westminster abbey?" And they
shall cry, There are no graves here"
And then listen for the tolling of the
old belfries Of heaven, the old belfries
of eternity. 1 listen to hear them toll
for the dead, but they toll not for the
dead. They only strike up a silvery
chime, tower to tower, east gate to
west gate, as they ring out, "They
shall hunger no more, neither thirst
any more, neither shall the sun light
on them nor any heat, for the Lamb
which is in the midst Of the throne
shall lead them to living fountains of
water, and God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes,"
Oh, unglove your hand, and give It
to me In congratulation on that scene!

l know there is a great deal of talk
about the self-denials of the Christian.
have to tell you that where the Chris
tian has one self denial the man of the
world has thousand self denials. The
Christian is not commanded to sur
render anything that is worth keeping.
But what does a man deny himself
who denies himself the religion Of
Christ? He denies himself pardon for
sin, he denies himself peace Of con-
science, he denies himself the joy Of
the Holy Ghost, he denies himself a
comfortable death pillow, he denies
himself the glories of heaven. Do not
talk to me about the self denials of
the Christian life. Where there is one
in the Christian life there are a thou
sand in the life of the world. Her
ways are ways of pleasantness."
