REV. DR. TALMAGE. —— THE EMINENT DIVINE'S SUNDAY DISCO ————coon Subject: Ledgers and Bibles—Thero is No War Between Religion and Business Righteousness ia =a Re-enforcoment sud Not a Hindrance in Life's Affairs. [Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1860.] Wasainaron, D. C.—In this discourse Dr, Talmage argues that religion may be taken nto all the affairs of life and instead of being a hindrance, as many think, Is a re. enforcement. The text is Romans xii. 11: “Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.” Industry, devoutness and Christian ser vice—all commended in that short text, What! Is it possible that they shall be con- joined? Oh, yes! There is no war between religion and business, between ledgers and Bibles, between churches and counting houses. On the contrary. re- wits, sweetens acerbity of disposition, more velocity inte the wheels of hard work, It gives bhetter balancing to the judgment, more strength to the will, more muscle to industry and throws into enthu- siasm a more consecrated fire. You cannot in all the ecircle of the world show me a man whose honest business has been de- spoiled by religion. - .. The industrial classes are divided into three groups—producers, manufacturers, traders. Producers, such as farmers and miners. Manufacturers, such as those who turn corn into food and wool and flax into apparel. Traders, such as make profit out of the transfer and exchange of all that whieh is produced and manufactured. A business man may belong to any one or all of these classes, and not one is indepen dent of any other, When the prince imperial of France fell on the Zulu battlefield because the strap fastening the stirrup to the saddle broke as he clung to it, his comrades all escap- ing, but he falling under the lances of the savages, a great many people blamed the batti-fleld, and others blamed Government for the sacrifice, and others blamed the Zuius for their barbaris The most to was the into that the English one IArLCES of the stirrup DALBTIAL, ut out perfect streams t! and that are 18 the ri demas YK Ace i Locke and Mansfield you and Ican afford to toliin, © fewer idlers in the eanuse of Christ and for more Christian workers, men who shall take ¢ same energy that from Monday morning to Saturday night they put forth for the achievement of a livellnood or the gathering of a lortune and on Sabbath days put it forth to the advantage of Christ's kingdom aud the bringing of men to the Lerd. Dr. Duff visited a man who had inheri- tod a great fortune. The man said to him: “I bad to be very busy for many yeas of my life getting my livelihood. After a while this fortune came to me and thers has been no necessity that 1 toll since, There eame a time when I sald to myself, "Shall I pow retire from business, or shall I go on and serve the Lord in my worldly oceupa- tion?” He said: “I resolved on the fatter, and 1 have been more indus. tricus in commercial circles than 1 ever was before, and since that hour | have never kept a farthing for myself. I have thought it to be a great shams {ff I eouldn't toll as hard for the Lord as I bad tolled for myself, and ali the pro- ducts of my factories and my commercial establishments to the last f{arthiog have gone for the bulldiag of Chnstian institu. tions and supporting the church of God.” Would that the same enargy put forth for tha world could be put forth for God. VY ould that a thousand men in these great cities who have achieved a fortune could see it their duty now to do all business for Christ and the alleviation of the world’s suffering! Again, I remark that business life is a school of patience, In your everyday life how many things to annoy and to disquiet? Bargains will rub. Commercial men will sometimes [ail to meet thelr engagements, Cash book and money drawer will some. times quarrel, Goods ordered for a special emergency will coma too late or be dam» aged in the transportation, People intend. ing no harm will go shopping without any fntention of purchase, overturning great stocks of goods and insisting that you break the dozen, More bad debts on the Jedger. More counterfeit bills In the drawer. More debts to pay for other peo- ple. More meanness on the part of part. ners ln business, Annoyance after annoy. every fl of « men of xt Newton an t § HE isa in whi ance, vexation after vexation and loss af ter loss, | How many men do you suppose there | are in eommercinl life who could say truthfully, “In all the sales 1 have ever | made I have never overstated the value of goods, in all the sales I have evel made I have never coverad up an imper- fection {n the fabric, of all the thousands of dollars I have ever made I have not | taken one dishonest farting?’ Thera arn men, however, who can say it, hundreds who can say it, thousands who can say it.

A merchant io Liverpool got a £5 Dank of England pote, and, holding is toward the light, he saw some ioterlineations io what seemed red ink.

We are very glad you have some!'” And the man standing in Faltoo streat prayer meeting said, “The amount they pald me was six times what I owed.’ You say it only happened so? You are un believing, God answered that man's prayer. Oh, you want business grace! Com. mercial ethics, bu<lgess honor, jaws ol trade are all very good in their piace, but there are times when you want something more than this world will give you, You want God, For the lack of Him some that you bave known have consented to forge, aud to malireat their friends, and | to curse their enemies, and thelr names have been bulletined among scoundrels, and they have been ground to powder, while other men you have known have gone through the very same stress of oir. cumstances triumphant, There are men | here to-day who JIought the battie and | gained the victory. Peoples come out of | that man's store and they say, “Well, if | there ever was s Christian teader, that is one.” Iotegrity kept the books and waited on the customers, Light from the eternal | would flashed through the show windows, | Love to God and love to man presided in | that storehouse. Some day people golog | through the street notice that the shutters | of the window are not down, The bar of | that store door has not been removed. | People say, “What is the matter?” | You go up a little closer and you see written on the eard of that window, | NAKE I am se “Closed on aceount of the death of one | of the firm.” Ths! day all through the eiroles of business thers is talk about how | a good man has gone.
