WASHINGTON. d. C.-In this discourse
DIR. Talmage shows the causes OF the great
financial disturbances which take pace
every few years, and arTaigns the peopIe
who live beyond their means; text, Jere-
miah xvii. II. AS the partridge sltteth on
eggs and hatcheth them not, SO ne thaI
gefteth riches and not by right shall leave
them in the midst of his days and at his
end shall be a fool
AIlusion is here made to WeL.knoWn
fact in natural history. II partridge OF
a quail or a robin brood the eggs Oh an
other species. the young VIII not stay
with the one that happened to DTood
them. but at the first opportunity VIII as
sort with their own species. those OF US
who have been brought up IN the country
have seen the dismay OF the 1armyafd
hen. having brooded aquatic lows, Wheh
after awhile they tumble INTO their nat
UraI element. the water. So my text sug-
pests that a man may gather under MS
wings the property OF others, but 1t WLl
after awhile escape; it will leave the man
in a sorry predicament and make him feel
very silly. r
financial disasters for the last sl1ty years years ::
Some saw it Is the credit system. Some
thing back OF that. Some say It Is the
spirit of gambling ever and anon becoming
endemic Something back OF that. Some
saw it is the sudden shrinkage IN the value
Of securities, which even the most honest
and intelligent men could not have tore,
seen. Something back of that. L will
give YOU the primal cause of all these dis.
turbances. 1t is the cxtravaga nee OF
modern society which impcls man to
sncnd more money than he can honestly
make. and he goes into wild speculation
in order to get the means for lnordInate
display, and sometimes the man IS to
l. 20 and ~ M
both. Five thousand dOllals income. SlO,-
600 500 900 income Is not enough tor a
man to keep up the style of living he pro-
noses and therefore he steers his bark to-
ward the maelstrom. Other men have
suddenly snatched up $50 600 or 500, 900 -
why not he? The present income OF the
man not being large enough, he must move
earth and hell to catch up with his neigh
bors. O,hers have a country seat-so
must he: others have an eXtravagant ca
tercr-so must he: others have a palatial
rCSdcncc-sO must he.
Extravaganza is the cause of ali the de
klcation5 of the last sixty years, and II
