Allied observation-disclosures and He
Was Driven From Men and Did Eas
Grass Oxen"-Dan. ": 33.
Copyright, 1901, by Louis KIopsch. N Y,
Washington, July 21--In this dis
course DR.. Talmage shows that there
is tendency to excuse brilliant faults
because they are brilliant when the
same law of right and wrong ought to
be applied to high places and low;
text, Daniel iv, 3S. 1.-The same hour
was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchad-
nezzar, and he was driven from men
and did not eat grass oxen
Here is the mightiest of the Baby
lonish kings Look at him. He did
more for the grandeur of the capital
than did all his predecessors or sue
cessors- Hanging gardens, reservoirs
aqueduct, palace, all of his own plan
nlng- The bricks that are brought I'D
TO-DAY from the ruins of Babylon have
his name on them, Observation-Disclosures.
son OF NabopOlasSor, king of Babylon,
he was great conqueror. He stretch
eo Iorth his spear toward a nation
and 1t surrendered But he plundered
the temple of the true God He lifted
an 1901, Bel Merodach, and compelled
the people to bow down before it. and
If they refused they must go through
the red hot furnace or be crunched
ny non or honesS- So God pulled him
down
He was smitten with what phys1-
clans call 1ycanthropy and fancied that
he was wild beast and he went ont
and pastured amid the cattle God did
not excuse him because he committed
the sin in high places or because the
transgressor was wide resounding He
measured Nebuchadnezzar in high
places just as he would measure the
humb1est captive.
But IN our time you know as we'll
as I that there is disposition to put
ha1o around iniquity if it is commit
tea IN conspicuous place and if it is
wide resounding and of large propor-
tons Ever and anon there has been
an epidemic of crime in high places
and there is not a state or city and
hardly village which has not been
called to look upon astounding for
gerry or an absconding bank cashier or
president or the wasting of trust fund
or swindl1ng mortgages. I propose in
carrying out the suggestion of my text
as far as I can, to scatter the fascfna-
lions around iniquity and show you
that sin is sin and wrong is wrong
whether in high place or low place and
that 1t Will be dealt with by that God
who dealt with impa1aced Nebuchad-
nezzar.

missionary in the island of the
Pacific preached one Sabbath on hon
esty and dishonesty, and on Monday
he found his yard full of all styles of
goods, which the natives had brought
He could not understand it until a ma
tive told him, tOur gods permit us to
pur1oin goods, but the God YOU told
US about yesterday, the God of hea-
ven and earth, it seems, is against
these practices, and so we brought all
the goods that 70
they are in the yard, and we want you
to help us distribute them among their
rightfu1 owners And if in all the
pu1pits of the United States today rous-
ing sermons could be preached on
honesty and the evils of dishonesty and
the sermons were blessed of God and
arrangements could be made by which
all the goods which have been improp-
erly taken from one man and appro-
priated by another man should be put
in the city halls of the country there
is not city hall in the United States
that would not be crowded from cellar
to cupola- Faith of the gospel; that
we must preach and we do preach
Morality of the gospel we must just as
certainly proclaim.
Now look abroad and see the fascina-
lions that are thrown around different
styles OF crime The question that
every man and woman has been asked
cause it is on large scale? Is iniquIty
guilty and to be pursued of the law in
proportion as it is on a small scale?
Shall we have the penitentiary for
the man who steals an overcoat from
a hatrack and all Canada for a man to
range in if he have robbed the public

The Way to Get Money.
There has been an irresistible i'm
preston going abroad among young
men that the poorest way to get money
is to earn it The young man of f1aunt-
ing cravat says to the young man of
humble appearance What YOU onIy
get $500 year? Why, that wouldn't
keep me in pin money. I spend 5000
a year Where do you get it 2'' asks
the plain young man t@Oh, stocks en-
terprises-au that sort of thing Won
know The plain young man has
hardly enough money to pay his board
and has to wear clothes after they are
out of fashion and deny himself ali
