safe for perdition.
1t is quite a long road sometimes for
man to travel before he gets into
the romance of crime. Those are
caught who are only in the prosaic
stage of it, II the sheriffs and con-
stables would only leave them alone a
little while, they would steal as well
as anybody They might not be able
TO steal a whole railroad, but they
could master load of pig iron
Now. always thank God when find
an estate like that go to smash It
IS plague struck, and it blasts the ma
uon- thank God when it goes into
scch wreck it can never be gathered
up again I want it to become so loath-
some and such an insufferab BILE stencil
1hat honest young men will take warn
ing Ii God should put into money or
its representative the capacity to go
TO It's lawful owner. there would not
pc bank or safety deposit in the
united states whose walls would not
be blown out and MORTGAGES would rim
and parchments would rend and gold
would shoot and beggars would get on
horseback and stock gamblers would

The Temptations to Dishonesty.
How many dishonesties in the max
ing out of invoices and in the plaster
ing or false labels and in the flcning
OF customers of rival houses and in the
making and breaking of contracts,
Dung men are indoctrinated in the
idea that the sooner they get money
the better, and the getting of it on a
larger scale only proves to them their
greater ingenuity There is a glitter
thrown around about all these things
Dung men have got to find out that
Goa looks upon sin in very different
light
A young man stood behind counter
IN New York selling silks to a lady
and he said before the sale was CON
summated, Il see there is a flaw !,
that silk The lady recognized it and
the sale was not consummated The
head man of the firm saw the inter
view, and he wrote home to the father
OF the young man, living in the couu-
try, saying: Dear sir come and take
your boy He Will never make a mer-
chant The father came down from,
the country home in great consterna-
ton, as any father would, wondering
what his son had Gone He came into
the store, and the merchant said to
MIN, Why, your son pointed out a
flaw IN some silk the other day and
spoiled the sale and we will never have
that lady probably again for Gus
TONER, and your son will never make
merchant Is that ALP said the
father II am proud OF him 1 wouldn't
for the world have him another day
under your influence John get your
hat and coat; let US start There are
hundreds of young men under the pres
sure, under the destinations thrown
around about commercial iniquity
Thousands OF young men have gone
down under the pressure; other thou
sands have maintained their integrity
God help you Let me say tt you, my
young friend, that you never can be
happy in a prosperity which comes
from i'll gotten gains. oh you saw
L might lose my place 1t is easy for
you to stand there and talk but it is
no easy thing to get place when you
have lost it. Besides that 1 have a
widowed mother depending upon my
exertions. and you must not be too
reckless in giving advice to me-" All
my young friend, it is always safe to
do right, but it is never safe to do
wrong. You go home and tell your
mother the pressure under which you
are in that store. and know
what she will say to you, if
she is worthy of you. She will
say: My son, come out from there
God has taken care of US all these
years, and he will take care of US
now Come out of that"
Misuse of Trust Funds
oh, there is such a fearful fascina-.
ton in this day about the use of trust
funds 1t has got to be popular to take
the funds of others and speculate with
them There are many who are prac-
ticing that iniQuity. Almost every mar,
in the course of his life has the prom
erty of others put in his care He has
administered, perhaps, for a dead
friend; he is an attorney and money
passes from debtor to creditor through
his hands; or he is in a commercial
establishment and gets a salary for
the discharge OF his responsibilities or
he is treasurer of a philanthropic fnstf-
tuition, and money for the sufferfr7
goes through his hands; or he has
some office in city or state or nation
and taxes and subsidies and supplies
and salaries are in his hands. Now.
that is a trust That is as sacred a
trust as God can give man 1t is
the concentration of confidence Now
when that man takes that money the
money of others, and goes to specuIat-
ing with it for his own purposes he is
guilty of theft, falsehood and perjury
and In the most intense sense OF the
word is u1iscreaut
