AIL KINDS OP KNOWLEDGE, ALSO. The Honesty of Xo Man Is KnoTni Until It Is Tested lij a Trust TEAFFIC IS SOT THE END OF IT ALIi tfTKCtXl, TELEGRAM TO TITE nltPATCH.! Bdooklyn, Dee. 20. Dr. Talmage's text to-day -was Proverbs iii:6, "In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths." "A promise, gocd enough for many kinds of life, but not for my kind of life," says Some business man, "the law of supply and demand controls the business world." But I have reason to say that it is a promise to all persons in any kind of honest busi ness. There is no war between religion and business between ledgers and Bible, be tween churches and counting houses. On the contrary, religion accelerates business, tharpens men's wits, sweetens acerbity of disposition, fillips the blood of phlegmatics, and throws more velocity into the wheels of hard work. It gives better balancing to the judgment, more strength to the will, more muscle to industry, and throws into enthusiasm a more consecra'ed fire. You cannot in all the round of the. world show me a man whose honest business has been despoiled by religion. The Three Industrial Classes. 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 cpparel. Traders, such as make profit out of the transfer and exchange of all that which is produced and roanuiacturcd. A business man may belong to any one or all of thee classes, and not one is indepen dent of any other. AVhen the Prince Im perial of "I'rsnee fell on the Zulu battle field because the strap fastening the stirrun to the saddle broke as he clung to it, his comrades all escaping, but he falling under the lances of the savages, a great many people blamed the Empress for allowing her sou to go forth into that battlefield, and others blamed the English Government for accepting the sacrifice, and others blamed the Zulus for their barbarism. The one nio-t to blame was the harness maker who lasbioned that strap of the stir rup out of shoddy and imperfect material as it was found to have been afterward. If the strati had held, the Prince Imperial would probably have been alive to-day. But the strap broke. Xo prince independent of a harness-maker! High, low, wise, ignorant, tou in one occupation, I in another, all bound together. So that there must be one continuous line of sympathy with each other's work. A Sermon to Business Men. But whatever your vocation, if you have a multiplicity of engagements, if into your life there come losses and annoyances and perturbations as well as percentages and dividends, it you are pursued irom Monday morning until Saturday night, and from January to January by inexorable obliga tion and duty, then you are a business man, or you are a business woman, and my sub ject is appropriate to your case. "We are under the impression that the moil and tug of business life are a prison into which a man is thrust, or that it is an unequal strife where unarmed a man goes forth to contend. I shall show you that business life was intended of God for grand and glorious education and discipline, and if I shall be helped to say what I want to say, I shall rub some of the wrinkles of care out of your brow, and unstrap some of the burdens from your back. I am not talking to an abstraction. Though never having been in business life I know ail about business men. In my first parish at Belleville, X. J., ten miles from Sew York, a large portion of my audience was made up of Xew York merchants. Then I went to Syracuse, a place of intense com mercial ai-tivity, and then I went to Phila delphia, and lived longamongthe merchants of that city, and whom there are no better men on earth. A Onarlcr of a C-ntury at "Brooklyn. For more than 22 years I have stood in this presence, Sabbath by Sabbath, preach ing to audiences, the majority of whom are business men and business women. It is not an abstraction to which I speak, but a reality witli which I am well acquainted. Tn the first place, I remark that business lile was intended as a school of energy. God gives us a certain amount of raw material nut of which we arc to hew our character. Our faculties are to be reset, rounded and sharpened up. Our young folks having graduated from school or college need a higher education, that which the rasping and collision of every-day life aloue can effect. Energy is wrought, out only in a lire. After a man has been in business ac tivity 10, 20, 30 years his energy is not to he measured by weights or plummets or ladders. There is no height it cannot scale, and there is no depth it cannot fathom, and there is no obstacle it cannot thrash. Xow, mv brother, why did God put yon in that school of energy? Was it merely that you might lie a yardstick to measure cloth, or a steelyard to weigh flour? "Was it merelvthat you might be better qualified to chaffer and higgle? Xo. God placed you in that school of energy that you might be developed for Christian work. l hat United Christianity Could Do. If the undeveloped talents in the Chris tian churches of to-day were brought out and thoroughly harnessed, I believe the whole world would be converted to God in a short time. There are so many deep streams that are turning no mill wheels and that are harnessed to no factory bands. Xow, God demands the best lamb out of every flock. He demands the richest sheat of every harvest. He demands the best men of every generation. A cause in which Xewton and Locke and Mansfield toiled you and I can afford to toil in. Oh, for fewer idlers in the cause of Christ, and for more Christian workers, men who shall take the same energy that from Monday morning to Saturday night they put forth for the achievement of a livelihood or the gathering of a fortune, and on Sabbath days put it forth to the advantage of Christ's kingdom and the brincing of men to the Lord. Dr. Duff, in Sonth "Wales, saw a man who had inherited a great fortune. The man said to him: "I 'had to b- very busy for many years of mv life gettingmy livelihood. After a while this fortune came to me, and there has been no necessity that I toil since. There came a time when I said to myself, 'Shall I now retire from business, or shall I go on and serve the Lord in my worldly occupation?' " He said: "I resolved on the latter, and 1 have been more industrious in commercial circles than I ever was before, and since that hour I have never kept a farthing for myself." Toiling for the Lord Now. "I have thought it to be a great shame if I couldn't toil as hard for myself, and all the products of my factories and my com mercial establishments, to the last farthing, have gone for the building of Christian in stitutions and supporting the Church of God." Oh. if the same energy put forth for the world could be put forth for God! Oh, if a thousand men in these great cities who have achieved a fortune could see it their duty to do all business for Christ and the allevia tion of the world's suffering. Again I remark that business life is a school of patience. In your every-day life how many things to annoy and to" disquiet! Bargains"will rub. Commercial men will sometimes fail to meet their engagements. Cash book and money drawer will some times quarrel. Goods ordered for a special emergency will come too late, or be dam aged in the transportation. People intending no harm will go shop ping without any intention of purchase, overturning great stocks of goods, and in sisting that you break the dozen. More bad-debts on the ledger. More counterfeit bills in the drawer. More debts to pay for other people. More meannesses on the part of partners in business. Annoyance after annoyance, vexation after vexation, and loss after loss. All that process will either break you down or brighten you up. The Test of a Man's Tatience. It is a school of patience. You have known men under the process to become petulent, and choleric and angry, and pug nacious, and cross, and sour, and queer, and they lost their customers, and their name became a detestation. Other men have been brightened up un der the process. They were touehened by the exposure. They were like rocks, all the more valuable for being blasted. At first they had to choke down their wrath, at first they had to bite their lip, at first they thought of some stinging retort they would like to make; but they conquered their im patience. They have "kind words now for sarcastic flings. They have gentle behavior now for unmannerly customers. They are patient now with unfortunate debtors. They have Christian reflections now tor sudden reverses. Where did they get that patienpe? By hearing a minister preach concerning it on Sabbath? Oh, no. "They got it just where you will get it if you ever get it at all selling hats, discounting notes, turning banisters, plowing corn, tinning roofs, pleading causes. Oh, that amid the turmoil and anxiety and exasperation of everyday life you might hear the voice of God say ing : "In patience possess your souL Let patience have her perfect work." I remark again that business life is a school of useful knowledge. Merchants do not read many books and do not study lexicons. Business Better Than a University. They do not dive into profounds of learn ing, and yet nearly all through their occu pations come to understand questions of finance, and politics, and geography, and jurisprudence, and ethics. Business is a severe schoolmistress. If pupils will not learn, she strikes them over the head and the heart with severe losses. You put ?o,000 into an enterprise. It is all gone. You say, "That is a dead lose." Oh, no. You are paying the schooling. That was only tuition, very large tuition I told you it was a severe schoolmistress but it was worth it. You learned things under that process yon would not have learned in anv other way. Traders in grain come to know something about foreign harvests; tradersin fruit come to know something about the prospects of tropicai production; manufacturers of Amer ican goods come to understand the tariff on imported articles; publishers of books must come to understand the new law of copy right: owners of ships must come to know the winds and shoals and navigation; and every bale of cotton, and every raisin cask, and every tea box, and every cluster of bananas is so much literature for a business man. Xow, my brother, what are you going to do with the intelligence? Do you suppose God put you in this school ot information merely that you might be sharper in a trade, that vou might be more successful as a worldling? now the Knowledge Is to Be Applied. Oh, no; it was that you might take that useful information and use it for Jesus Christ Can it be that you have been deal ing with foreign lands, and never had the missionary spirit, wishing the salvation of foreign people? Can it be that you have become acquainted with all the outrages in flicted in business life and that you have never tried to bring to bear that Gospel which is to extirpate all evil and correct all wrongs and illumine all darkness and lift up all wretchedness and save men for this world and the world to come? Can it be that understanding all the intri cacies ot business, you know nothing about those things which will last after all bills ot exchange and consignments and invoices and rent rolls shall have crumpled up and been consumed in the fires of the last great day? Can it be that a man will be wise for time and a fool for eternity. I remark, also, that business life is a school for integrity. Xo man knows what he will do when he is tempted. There are thousands of men who have kept their in tegrity merely because they never have been tested. A man was elected Treasurer of the State of Maine some vears ago. He was distinguished for his honesty, useful ness and uprightness, but before one year had passed he had taken of the public funds for his own private use, and was hurled out of office in disgrace. A Trust ths Test or Honesty. Distinguished for virtue before. Dis tinguished for crime after. You can call over the names of men just like that, in whose honesty you had complete confidence, but placed in certain crises of temptation they went overboard. Xever so many temptations to scoundrelism as now. Xot a law on the statute book but has some back door through which a miscreant can escape. Ah! how many deceptions in the fabric of goods; so much plundering in commercial life that if a man talk about living a life of complete commercial accuracy there are those who ascribe it to greenness andJack of tact. More need of honesty now than ever before, tried honesty, complete hon esty, more than in those times when busi ness was a plain affair and woolens were woolens and silks were silks and men were men. How many men do yon suppose there are in commercial life who could say truthfully, "In all the sales I have ever made I have never overstated the value of goods; in all the sales I have ever made I have never covered up an imperfection in the fabric; cf all the thousands of dollars I have ever made I have not taken one dishonest farth ing?" There are men, however, who can say it, hundreds who can say it, thousands who can say it. Ulcn "Who Have Outgrown Rascality. They are more honest than when they sold their first tierce of" rice, or their first firkin of butter, because their honesty and integ rity have been tested, tried and came out triumphant. But they remember a time when they could have robbed a partner, or have ab sconded with the funds of a bank, or sprung a snap judgment, or made a false assign ment, or borrowed inimitably without any efforts at payment, or got a man into a sharp corner and fleeced him. But they never took one step on that pathway of hell fire. Thev can say their prayers without hearing the chink of dis honest dollars. They can read their Bible without thinking of the time when, with a lie on their soul, in the Custom House they kissed the Book. They can think of death and the judgment that comes after it with out any flinching the day when all charS latans and cheats and jockeys and frauds shall be doubly damned. It does not make their knees knock toeether, and it does not make their teeth chatter to read "as the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not, so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool." Oh, what a school of integrity business life is! If you have ever been tempted to Jet your integrity cringe before present advant age, if you have ever wakened up in some embarrassment, and said: The Xianger of One raise Step. ".Now, I'll step a little aside from the right path and no one will know it, and I'll come all right again; it is only once." Oh, that only once has ruined tens of thousands of men tor this life and blasted, their souls for eternity. It is a tremendous school, bus iness life, a school of integrity. A merchant in Liverpool got a 5 Bank of England note, and, holding it up toward the light, he saw some interlineations in what seemed red ink. He finally deciph ered the letters, and found out that the writing had been made by a slave in Al giers, saving in substance: "Whoever gets this bank note will please to inform ray brother, John Dean, living near Carlisle, that I am a slave of the Bey of Algiers." The merchant sent word, employed Govern ment officers, and found who this man was, spoken of in this bank bilL After awhile the man was rescued, who for 11 years had been a slave of the Bey of Algiers. He was immediately emancipated, but was so worn out by hardship and exposure he soon after died. Oh, if some of the bank bills that come through your hands could tell all the scenes through which they have passed, it would be a tragedy eclipsing any drama of Shakespeare, mightier than "King Lear" or "Macbeth." As I go on in this subject, I am im pressed with the importance of our having more sympathy with business men. Is it not a shame tnat we in our pulpits do not oftener preach about their struggles, their trials and their temptations ? Tollers With Hands, Toiler With Brain. Men who toil with the hand are not apt to be very sympathetic with thosewho toil with the brain. The farmers who raise the corn and the fiats and the wheat sometimes are tempted to think that grain merchants have an easy time, and get their profits without giving any equivalent. Plato and Aristotle were so opposed to merchandise that they declared com merce to be the curse of the nations, and they advised that cities be built at least ten miles from the seacoast. But you and I know that there are no more industrious or high-minded men than those who move in the world of traffic. Some of them carry burdens heavier than hods of brick, and are exposed to sharper things than the east wind, and climb mountains higher than the Alps or Himalayas, and if they are faithful Christ will at last say to them: "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thoe ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." We talk about the martyrs of the Pied mont valley, and the martyrs among the Scotch highlands, and the martyrs at Ox lord. There are just as certainly martyrs of Wall street and State ttreet, martyrs of Fulton street and Broadway, martyrs of At lantic street and Chestnut street, going through hotter fires, or haying their necks under sharper axes. Unfitness Hardships Are Blessings. Then it behooves us to banish all fretful ness from our lives, if this subject be true. We look back to the time when we were at school, and we remember the rod, and we remember the hard tasks.and we complained grievously; but now we see it was for the best. Business life is a school and the tasks are hard, and the chastisements sometimes are very grievous; but do not complain. The hotter the fire the better the refining. There are men before the throne of God this day in triumph who on earth were cheated out of everything but their coffin. They were sued, they were imprisoned for debt, they were throttled by constables with a whole pack of writs, they were sold out by the sheriffs, they had no compromise with their creditors, they had to make assignments. Their dying hours were annoyed by the sharp ringing of the door-bell by some im petuous creditor who thought it was out rageous and impudent that a man should dare to die before he paid the last 3 shill ings and u-pence. I had a friend who had many misfortunes. Everything went against him. He had good business quality and was of the best of morals, but he was one of those men such as you have sometimes seen, for whom every thing seems to go wrong. His life became to him a plague. A Place of Refuge From Misfortune. When I heard he was dead, I said: "Good, got rid of .the Sheriffs!" Who are those lustrous souls before the throne? When the question is asked, "Who are they?" the angels standing on the sea of glass beypnd: "These are they who came out of great business trouble and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." A man rose in Fulton street prayer meet ing, and said: "I wish publicly to acknowl edge the goodness of God. I was in busi ness trouble. I had money to pay, and I had no means to pay it, and I was in utter despair of all human help, and I laid this matter before the Lord, and this morning I went down among some old business friends I had not seen in many years, just to make a call, and one said to me. 'Why, I am so glad to see you, walk in. We have some money on out books due you a good while, but we didn't know where you were, and therefore not having your address we could not send it. " We are very glad you have com.' " And the man standing in Fulton street prayer meeting said: "The amount they paid me was six times what I owed." You say it only happened? You are an infidel. God answered that man's prayer. Oh, you want business grace. Slore Than Commercial Ethics Needed. Commercial ethics, business honors, laws of trade, are all very good in their place, but there are times when you want some thing more than this world will give you. You want God. For the lack of Him some that you have known have consented to forge, and to maltreat their friends, and to curse their enemies, and their 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 circumstances triumph ant. There are men here to-day who fought the battle and gained the victory. People come out of that man's store, and they say: "Well, if there ever was a Christian trader, that is one." Integrity ketit the books and waited on the customers. Light from the eternal world flashed through the show windows. Love to God and iove to man presided in that storehouse. Some day people going 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 yon see written on the card of that window: "Closed on account of the death of one of the firm." A Business Alan's Death. I That day all through the circles of busi-I ness there is talk about how a good man has j f one. Boards of trnrlo nnss Tpsnlntinno nf ! sympathy, and churches of Christ pray, "Help, Lord, for the godly man ceasesth." He has made his last bargain, he has suf fered his last loss, he has ached with the last fatigue. His children will get the result of his industry, or, if through mis fortune thelte be no dollars left, they will have an estate of prayer and Christian example which will be everlasting.

COL MULBERRY SELLERS REAPPEARS In a Xew Humorous Novel By MARK TWAIN, ENTITLED TIE M.EMBI Mil It has been secured for the Sunday Issue of THE DISPATCH, and publication will begin SUNDAY, JANUARY 3. The story is founded on the faet that Mark Twain's family has a sort of claim to the Earldom of Durham. Col. Sellers is here the claimact to this earldom. The young Lord, who is the heir recognized by English law, is at heart a Socialist, and he comes to America to put his theories into practice. By a series of exciting incidents the lord ship in him disappears and he becomes an applicant for any kind of work in Wash ington. The Old World notions of the young Lord, which are not nearly so ex tinct as he thinks they are, come into sharp contact with the practical workings of rude democracy, and here Mark Twain gets his opportunity for graphically showing in his picturesque manner some of the differences between the aristocratic idea and the demo cratic idea. Hard as he is on the monarch ical side of the question, there are neverthe less some things in tms portion 01 tne worK that will cause the American to think and ask himself questions. The story ends in a most satisfactory manner. Of course, it is full of humor. A specially strong feature of this new ac quisition for the Literary Depart ment of THE DISPATCH are ILLUSTRATIONS BY DAN BEARD, Whom Mark Twain regards as the only man who has really illus- trated his ideas. 3.
