tertained UnristT Not one. When Peter
came to Joppa, he stopped with one ST.
mon, tanner. What power had Christ's
name on the Roman exchange or in the
bazaars Of COrinth? None. The prom
inent men Of the day did not want to risk
their reputation for sanity by pretending
to be one Of his followers. Now that Is
all changed. Among the mightiest men
in our great cities today are the Christian
merchants and the Christian bankers.
and If tomorrow at the board of trade
any man should get up and malign the
name Of Jesus he would be quickly ST
fenced or put out. In the front rank of
all our Christian workers TODAY are the
Christian merchants, and the enterprises
Of the world are coming on the right
side. There was a farm willed awav
some years ago. all the proceeds Of that
farm to 90 for spreading infidel books.
Somehow matters have changed, and now
all the proceeds of that farm 20 toward
the missionary cause. One Of the finest
printing presses ever built was built for
the express purpose Of publishing infidel
tracts and books. Now it does nothing
but print Holy Bibles. / believe that
the time will come when In commercial
circles the voice Of Christ will be the
mightiest Of all voices and the ships Of
Tarshish will bring presents and the
queen Of Sheba her glory and the wise
men of the east their myrrh and franklin

Again, ! remark that the travelling dis
position of the world, which was adverse
to morals and religion, is to be brought
on our side. The man that went down to
jericho and fell amid thieves was a type
OF great many travellers. There is
many man who is very honest at home
who when he is abroad has his honor
hlched and his good habits stolen. There
are but very few men who can stand the
stress of an expedition. Six weeks at
watering place have ruined many a man.
In the olden times God forbade the trav-
cling Of men for the purposes of trade be-
cause OF the cOrrupting Influences attend
ing 1t. good many men now cannot
stand the transition from one place to an
other. Some men who seem to be very
consistent here in the way of keeping the
Sabbath when they get into Spain on the
Lords day always go out to see the bull
lights Plato said that no city ought to
be built nearer to the sea than ten miles
lest it be tempted to commerce. But this
travelling disposition of the world which
was adverse to that which is good is to
be brought on our side. These mail
trains. why, they take our Bibles; these
steamships they transport our mission
