THE DANGER OF CONTRACT
ING DEBTS.

The late Charles H. Spurgeon once
preached a celebrated sermon on Debt,
Dirt. and the Devil" The tragic hap
pening in Baltimore, where a boy, six
teen years old, took his life because of
debt, calls pointed attention to the dis
astrous effect Of the factor which the
distinguished preacher put first in or
der. The incident in question, as it
happens, points a subsidiary lesson,
since energy and determination could
easily have wiped out the small obi
cation, in despair of settling which the
boy killed himself.

easy habit of making obligations be
yond the ability to pay is a BLIGHT
upon the career of every young man.
1t puts him into the power of the lean
sharks; it uudermines his indepen-
dence; it exacts a tribute of mental
worry; it makes him a coward. Much
of the business Of the world Is con-
Quoted upon credit. Without 1t the
wheels d commerce would stop, but in
the matter Of personal expenses these
credits should be confined 10 the prac-
teal certainty Of an ability to pay
The larger ships, according to the
Proverb, may venture more, but the
little boats should keep near shore, and
until a man has accumulated some
thing in life his obligations should be
kept well within bounds As Byron
once expressed it, Ready money Is
Aladdin's lamp"
