Text: “Whose trust shall be a spider's wob,"—Job vill. 14. The two most skillful architects Ia all the world are the bes and thespider. The one puis up ns sugar manufactory and the other uilds a slaughter house for filles, On a bright summer morning when the sun comes out and shines upon the spider's web, bedecked with dew, the gossamer structure seems bright enough for a sus. pension bridge for merlal beings to eross on. But alas for the pogr fly whigh inthe latter part of that very day ventures on it and fs caught and dungeoned and de- stroyed! Thefly was informed that it was a free bridge and would cost nothing, but at the other end of the bridge the toll paid was {ts own life. The next day there comes down a strong wind, and away go he web apd the marauding spider and the victimized fly. So delicate are the many thousands of them are put together before or become visible to the human eye, and ii takes 4,000,000 of them to make a thread as largo asthe humas hair, Most eruel as well as most ingenious is the spider. A prisoner im the Bastille, France, had one so trained that at the sound ofthe violin it every day cams for its meal of flies, The author of my text, who was a leading selentist of his day, had no doubt watched the voracious process of this ons {nsect with another and saw spider and fly tered by the same wind. Alas that the world has =o many designing spiders and victimized files! There has not been a time when the utter and black irresponsibility of many men having the financial interests of others in charge has been more evident than in these last few years. The bank- ruptoy of banks and disappearance of ad- ministrators with the funds of large estates and the disorderéd accounts of United States officials have sometimes made a pestilence of erime that solemnizes every thoughtful man and woman and leads every philan. thropist and Christian to ask, What shall be done to stay the plague?

But you have no right to take the money of others and turn it into kites, There is one word that has deluded more people into bankruptey than any other word In sommereial life, and that fs the word borrow. That ons word Is re. sponsible for all the delaleations and em- bezzlements and financial consternations of the last twanty vears. When executor: eonclude to speculate with the funds of an estate committed to their charge, they do not purloin; they say they only borrow. When a banker makes an overdraft upon his institutign, hie does not commit a thelt; he only borrows. It I had only a woridly woapon to use on this subject, I would give you the fact, fresh from the highest authority, that ninety per cent. of those who go into wild speculation lose all, but I have a better warning than a worldly warning. From the place where men have perished —body, mind, soul—stand off, stand off! Abstract pulpit discussion must step aside on this question. Faith and repentance are abso. intely Becessasy, but faith and repentance are no more dootrines of the Bible than commercial integrity. “Render to all their dues.” “Owe no man Anything.” And while I mean to preach faith and repent. ance, more and more to preach them, I do not mean to spend any time in chasing the Hittites and Jebusites and Girgashites of Bible times when there are so many evils right around us destroying mee and wom- en for time and for eternity, The greatest evangelistic preacher the world ever saw, a man who died for his evangelism-—pear. less Paul-—wrote to the Romans, “Provide things honest in the sight of all wen” wrote to the Corinthians, Do that which fs honest;” wrote to the Philippians, “Whatsoever things are honest,” wrote to honestly.” The Bible says that faith with. translated, means that if your business life your religion is a humbug.
