with skill, economy of production, and
almost perfectly, they are in demand
and at big salaries. Corporations, for
gainful purposes, are criticised by COM
mon day laborers, who are unskilled,
and by common blatherskites, who are
ignorant of economics, as very extrava-
CANT in salaries paid to some Of their
managers of departments, and to some
general managers. But there is no cor
poration which does not pay as little
salary as possible and secure efficiency.
The supply Of men, skilled and
equipped, in business which can be
learned only by years of hard study and
hard work, in the school of the business
itself, is hardly ever up to the demand
for such men. However, those voca-
tions which require little application,
few intellectual gifts, and only short
service for proficiency, are generally
crowded.
The supply of stablemen is always in
excess of the demand, while the supply
of engravers upon steel is always limit
ed. Almost anybody has brains enough
to easily learn the duties and perform
the work of stable boy. But to be-
come an engraver upon steel requires
ability, application and patient indus
try. It is easy to become switchman
for railroad, but it is difficult to be-
come good traffic manager. Human
nature generally seeks the easiest and
quickest route for livelihood, and is con-
tent to take that livelihood with the
least possible effort and the least posi-
BILE luxury and comfort, rather than to
begin career which can lead up to in
frence only through years of persist
ent, patient and intelligent labor. HUI
man nature is to be blamed, and not the
gainful corporations, because the SOON
learned and least brain-requiring call
ings are crowded so as to make wages
lower; and the hard-to-understand and
along time to- learn duties of the higher
and more e-mind-requiring places are
avoided so as q make salaries higher.
The schools are free to all. The Nths
to the highest salaried places in ma u
facture, commerce
Schools. and the professions,
beset as they are
with asperities, are open to all. But
schools cannot make brains, ambition,
and that persistent pluck, for fools,
which wins success. The system of
education which the state furnishes, is
as incapable of making indolent ounces
equal to hard-working, bright students,
as horse trainer is incapable of making
draft horses trot in the same class with
the standard bred.

after all, the great influence of
life. 1t is the units. just the
single individuals, that are the
power and the might" David
with his sling and stone did more
than all the army of Israel.
\ BAD INFLUENCE.
1t is IA solemn thought that, all
the time, we are doing either good
or evil. Personal influence is GO
ing out in one direction or the
other. There is no neutral ground
in the Christian warfare. We are
helping somebody to life or to
death. No man dieth to him
self" There will he no more bit
ter ingredient in the cup Of the
lost than to be told by some lost
companion: 1T was by your in
hucncc that | am here" And it
will doubtless be n great surprise
to many bad men to find SO many
victims of their evil influence in
the world of woe. Poor human
nature is 50 much more easily in
tlucmccd for evil than for good,
that the victims of an evil intlu-
rncc, emanating from one bad
man, will far out-numbrr the saw
ed from the influence of many
bad men If Il man could go down
to pcrdition alone, it might he Ell
durcd; but to be tantaliaed thru all
eternity by the many victims of
the bad mans influence, how aw-
full the thought!
Salt with SAVIOR" and a light
under IA bushel," are fit illustra-
tons of the Christian who has lost
his influence for good.

There is no man living that has
not an influence for good or evil.
No man liveth to himself, and no
man dieth to himself" God has
so constituted man in the family.
and in society, that, whether con
sciously or uncOnsciously, his life
touches and influences some other
life; and each man is held rcspon-
sible for the influence cxertcd over
every other life within the range
of his influence. This fact makes
it fearful thing to live in the
world. We are our "brothcr's
keeper in Il very essential sense.
a GOOD INFLUENCE.
In our lesson this is illustrated
by two things in the physical
world, salt and light; the one pre-
sentative, the other Illuminating.
We can hardly conceive how we
could get along in the life of this
world without the purifying and
preventative qualities of salt,
which an all-wisc and benevolent
God has so abundantly provided
in the bowels of the earth. 1t is
SO common and universal that we
do not appreciate its value in hui
man life. What substance in nat
ure could so well illustrate the
gracious influence of Christian
life? we are the salt of the
earth" Who can estimate the
personal influence of II single, con
sistcnt and devoted Christian life?
Imagine community of goddess
men aud women, not an individual
Christian, or Il Christian influence
in any way cXcrtcd in all that So
cicty, and what do YOU see! \
shameless indulgence of sin in cv-
cry form, and II mass of putrrfac-
ton, shocking to behold Intro
ducc into that debased society,
single brave, consistent and CON
secratcd Christian, and in a very
little while you will note the lcav-
ening and transforming influence
of that life upon this community.
This is God s process of evan
gclizing the world. 1t is the per-
sOnal influence of the individual
Christian upon the life of one he
touches, and that transformed life
communicated to others, and thus
multiplied from the one to many,
that the world is brought to Christ.
Personality thus becomes won
drouS power. And as salt may
represent the silent, unconscious
influence of the devout, consistent
Christian, so light illustrates the
active, outward life of the Chris
tian, in deeds of kindness and
charity, as he reflects in his life
the character and life of Jesus. 1t
is thus, as he witnesses for Christ,
that he let's his Eight so shine be-
fore men, that they may see his
good works and glorify his Father
who is in heaven" The Christian
has no right to put his light UNI
der bushel." With no feeling
of false modesty must he shrink
from standing up for the Master,
and witnessing for Him on all
proper occasions. Genuine humil-
ity will show itself in thus witness
ing by deed rather than by word.
What radical stream of moral
light is thrown athwart the dark,
ness of this sin-cursed earth by the
lives of good men and women.
Personal and individual effort is,
