The second point is, that honesty is
an essential condition of prosperity. 1t
is not enough to aplay the game and
be successful, and then give literally.
A man, although biped, is not a
fowl But the mind of a man is a
brooder; his thought are eggs; and his
heart is a nest; and as a man broodeth
in his heart, so is he.
Added economic ideals viii not hatch;
there is nothing in them. The man that
counts the gain of them, counts ciphers
1t is worse than that; such a man loses
his tone and his power, and, in the end,
goes to the scrap heap with the poorest.
The nation is not a hen; but it is an
incubator, in which men place their
principles of s'more abundant life to
be warmed into moving selfperpetuat-
ing. expanding, conquering existence.
Labor must have more sense than to
abide by a system that can not bring
forth independence and possible Gull
ture. Wealth must be made too honest
to corner food, TO sweat the savings OF
the poor, to overreach the simple.
This is the work cut out for Christian
men. If this nation goes stale and
weak and finally gets it's death, through
devotion to eggs that will not hatch,
the fault must be laid at the church
door.
The elementary condition of our ma
tional prosperity is that the Christian
men of the country should now, having
done their best at dogma, begin to
prove up the fatherhood of God, the
divinity of Christ. and the brotherhood
Of man in economic betterment.

John G. Woolley last week delivered
an address before the members of Cen
trail Union Church, which for broad
mindedness and disregard of the or
binary language of the pulpit and pray
er meeting made deep impression up
on those who listened Mr. Woolley en-
ployed a style differing utterly from
the sarcastic brilliancy used so effec-
lively by him in his discussions of the
ordinary temperance and saloon mat
ter, but his words were equally direct
and telling.
With the exception of the opening
paragraphs. his address was:
The topic is not of my choosing and

feel swamped at the outset, I take the
liberty of abridging it so that it win

Even so, it is a big subject; and
doubtless, to some its appropriateness
to prayer meeting will not be perfectly
obvious. For many of US have been
taught too much and too WELL that
the business of prayer meeting is
with heaven rather than earth, with
spirit rather than substance, with 8
lost world rather than a found Aone, and
with sacrifices rather than prosperity.

end shall be fool. -
The first proposition is that prosper
itv is essentially conditioned on COM
mon sense. Tt is not enough to be hon
est. When a hen partridge, Plymouth
Rock. or whatever the family of the
fowl, stitch on eggs, and hatcheth
them not, there is something wrong
with the eggs. And if the hen be an
American eagle, so much the worse, II
the eggs are bad, or if the nest IS
empty. In that case, the more earnest
the sitter the worse the outlook for
prosperity. All her maternal desire, all
her staying power, all her resistance
to temptation to return to society, only
aggravates the failure.
But it is really apt to be the case
with a, hen that gets overtaken in a
fault of that kind, that she stands by
it. regardless of consequences, and SO
completely loses her mental bearings
that she will sit on anything-egg shells,
a door knob. an empty nest, anything
at all. If the nest be removed, she will
sit on the floor. If she be shut ont of
the henhouse, she viii try to incubate
the terrestrial globe. At last she seems
TO make a merit Of her failure. and she
gets frowsy and irritable and thin and
useless for any purpose; and at last
dies sitting, and some stable man takes
her by the tail feathers and throws her
over the fence, on the rubbish heap
"a victim of blind adherence to a
creed. simply because she had it.
The essential element of prosperity,
for hen, is that she have sense enough
to refuse to sit on a door knob.

follow faithfully the mind Of Christ.
Religious teachers have in measure
mis- ed themselves and dwarfed the mag
. ination of the people, by keeping the
acute accent on the work, of Jesus as
a ''personal savior - He was and is
a personal Savior incidentally, but as
/ understand it, he always seemed to
think that anxiety about one s personal
salvation, and not the other man 8, was
small business. He was, first and
last, ''the king of kings and lord of
lords, - and he was that simply because
he was great enough to grasp in his
mind and his heart the bigness and
completeness of the father kingdom;
and it was that he stood for. His mes,
sage of personal salvation, delivered in
many forms, was substantially this:
check on life; the check is as good
as God. Do not discount it. Present
it; it cannot be dishonored.
The progress of the world shows, with
increasing clearness, that Jesus was the
prince of statesmen; and the sanctions
of his supremacy have deepened stead

The constant element in the problem
