Subject: "DUlioneit Transaction*"—One of the Crying Evils or Modern Life le the Abuse of Trust—Beware of the Web of Peculation—Advice to Business Hen. TEXT: "Whose trust shall be a spider's web."—Job vlll., 14. The two most skillful architects in all the world are the bee and thespider. The one Cuts up a sugar manufactory and the other ullda a slaughter house for file?. On a bright summer morning when the sun out and .ihlaes upon the spider's web, bedecked with dew, the gossamer structure seems bright enough for a sus pension bridge for aerial beings to cross on. But alas for the poor fly which in the latter part of that very day ventures on it and ii caught and dungeoned and de stroyed! The fly was iuformed that it was a free bridge and would cost nothing, but at the other end of the bridge the toll paid was its own life. The next day there eomes down a strong wind, and away go the web and the marauding spider and the victimized fly. So delicate are the tllken threads of the spider's web that muny thousands of thorn are put together before they become visible to the human eye, andit takes 4,000,000 of them to make a thread as large as the human hair. Most cruel as well as most ingenious is the spider. A prisoner in the Bastille, France, had one so trained that at the sound of the violin It every day came for its meal of flies. The author of my text, who was a leading scientist of his day, had no doubt watched the voracious process of this one Insect with aao.tb.ec and saw spider and fly swept down with the same broom or scat tered by the same wind. Alas that the world has sa u\auy designing spiders and victimized flies! There has not been a tlme> when the atter and black, irresponsibility of many men having the flnuncial interests of others in charge has been more evident than in these lust few years. The bank ruptcy ot banks and disappearance of ad ministrators with the funds of large estates and the disordered accounts otUnited States ofllclais have sometimes made a pestilence of crime that solemnizes every thoughtful man and woman and leads every philan thropist and Christian to ask, What shall be done to stay the plague? There is ever and anon a monsoon of swindle abroad, a typhoon, a slrocoo. X sometimes ask my self if it would not be better for men mak ing wills to bequeath the property directly to the executors and officers of the court and appoint the widows and orphans a committee to see that the former got all that did not belong to them. The simple fast Is that there are a large number of men salUug yachts and driving fast horses and members of expensive clubhouses and controlling country seats who are not worth a dollur If they return to others their just rights. Under some sudden re verso they fall, and with afflicted air seem to retire from the world and seem almost ready for monastic life, when in two or three years they blossom out again, hav ing compromised with their creditors—that Is, paid tUeai nothing but regret, and the only difference betweeu the second chap ter of prosperity and the flrst is that their pictures are Murlllos Instead of Kensetts find tholr horses go a mite in twenty sec onds less than their predecessors, and in stead ot one county seat they have three. I have watched and have noticed that nine out of ten of those who fall in what is called high life have more means after than be fore the failure, and in many of the cases failure Is ouly a stratagem to escape the payment of honest debts aud put the world off the trick while they practice a large swiudle. There !g something woefully wrong In the fact that those things are pos sible. First of all, I charge the blame on care less, Indifferent bunk directors and boards bavlugiu charge great Unanclal institu tions. It ought not to be possible for' n president or cashier or prominent officer of n bunking institution to swindle it year after year without detention. X will under take to say that If these frauds are carried ou for two or three years without detec tion either the directors are partners in the infamy and pocket part of the theft or they are guilty of a culpable neglect of duty for which God will hold them us re iponslbleas Ho holds the acknowledged de rmuders. What right have prominent business men to allow their n iraes to be published as directors In a Unanclal insti tution so that unsophisticated people are thereby inuuced to deposit their money lu or buy the scrip thereof when they, the published directors, are doing noth ing for the safety of the institution? It Is a case of deception most reprehensible. Many people with a surplus t>f money, not needed for immediate use, although it may be a little further on iu dlspousable, are without friends competent to advhe them, ;md they are guided solely by the character of the men whose names are associated with the institution. When th<» crash camo and with the overthrow of the banks went the small earnings and limited fortunes of widows and orphans and tlio helplessly aged, the directors Btood with Idiotic state, and to the inquiry Of the frenzied depositors and stockholders who had lost their all, and to the arraign ment of an indignant public, had nothing to say except: "We thought it was all right. We did not know there was any thing wrong going on." It was their duty to know. They stood in a position which deluded the peoplo with the idea that they were carefully observant. Calling them selves directors, tbey did not direct. Th.y had opportunity of auditing accounts and inspecting the books. No time to do so? Theu they had 110 business to accept the position. It seems to bo the pride of somo moneyed men to be directors in a great many institutions, and all they know is whether or not they get their dividends regularly, and their names are used as de coy ducks to bring others near enough to be made game of. What first of all is needed Is that 500 bank directors and In surance company directors resign or at tend to their business as directors. The business world will be full of fraud just as long as fraud is so easy. Wheu you arrest the president and secretary of a bank for anembezalement carried on for many years, be sure to have plenty of sherilTs out the same day to arrest all the directors. Tbey are guilty either of neglect or complicity. Wo must especially deplore the misfor tunes of banks in various parts of this country in that they damage the' banking Institution, which is the great convenience of the centuries and indispensable to com merce and tho advance of nations. With one hand it blesses the lender, and with tho other it blesses the borrower. On their shoulders are the Interests of private Individuals and great corporations. In them are tho great arteries through which run the currents of tho nation's life. They have been the resources of the thousands of financiers in days of business exigeucy. Thoy stand for ncrcommodation, for facil ity, for individual, State and national re lief. At their head and in their manage ment there are as much interest aud moral worth as in any class of men, perhaps more. How nefarious, then, the behavior of those who bring disrepute upon this venerable, benignant and God honored in stitution. We also deplore abuse of trust funds be oause the abusers fly in the face of divine goodness which soeins determined to bless this iund. We are having a sorb sof unex ampled national harvests. The wlient gamblers get hold cf tho wheai, aud the corn gamblers get hold of the corn. Tim full tide of God's mercy toward this laud Is put back by those great dikes of dishonest resistance. When God provides enough food and clothing to feed and apparel this Whole nation like princes, tbe scramble of dishonest men toget more than their share, aa4 get It at all hazards, keeps everything shaking with opoertflinty and everybody asking "What next?" Every week makes new revelation?. How many more bank pres(U9pti and bank cashiers have been speculating with other people's money, and how many more bank directors are In im becile silence, letting tbe perfidy goon, the great and patient God only knows! My opinion in tbnt we have got nerr the bot tom. The wind lias been pricked from the great bubble ot American speculation. The men who thought that the judgment day was at least 5000 years off found it in 1898 or 1897 or 1896. And tills nation has been taught that men must keep their hands out of other people's pockets. Great bus inesses built on borrowed capital have been obliterated, and men who had noth ing have lost all they had. I believe we are on a higher career of prosperity than this land has ever seen, if, and if, and if. If the Brst men, and especially Christian men. will learn never to speculate upon borrowed capital—if you haVe a mind to take your own money and turn It into kites to fly them over every cpmmon in the United States, you do society no wrong, except when you tumble your helpless children into the poorhouge for the public to take care of. But you have no right to take tbe money of others and turn it into kites. There Is one word that has deluded more people into bankruptcy tban any other word in commercial life, and that Is the word borrow. That one word is re sponsible for all tbe defalcations and em bezzlements and financial consternations of the last twenty years. When executors eonclude to speculate with the funds of an estate committed to their charge, they dc not purloin; they say they only borrow. When a banker makes an overdraft upon bis institution, he does not commit a theft: he only borrows. If I had only a worldly weapon to use on this subject, I would give you the faot, fresh from tbe 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. Prom 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 lutely necessary, but faith and repentance are no more doctrines of the Bible than commercial integrity. "Bender to all their dues." "Owe uo man anything." And while I mean to preaoh faith and repent ance, more and more to preach them, I do not mean to spend any time In obasing tbe Hittltes and Jebusltes and Girgaghltes ol Bible times when there are so in any evils right around us destroying men ana wom en for time and for eternity. The greatest evangelistic preacher tbe world ever saw, a man who died for his evangelism—peer loss Paul—wrote to the Bomaps, "Provide things honest in the sight of all men;' wrote to the Corinthians, "Do that which is honest;" wrote to the Phlilpplans, "Whatsoever thing? are honest;" wrote to the Hebrews. "Willing In all things to llvu honestly." Tbe Bible says that faith with out works is dead, which, being liberally translated, means that if your business life does not correspond with your profession your religion is a humbug. Gathered in all religious assemblages there are many who have trust funds. Il is a compliment to you that you have been so intrusted, but I charge you, in tbe pres ence of God and the world, be as careful of tbe property of others as you are care ful of your own. Above all, keep your own private account at tbe bank separate from your account as trustee of an estate oi trustee of an Institution. That is the point at which thousands ot people make ship wreck. They get the property of others mixed up with their own property; thej put it into investment, and away it ull goes, and the.v cannot return that which tiiey borrowed. Then comes the ejplo slon, and the money market Is shaken, and the press denounces, and tbe church thunders expulsion. You have no right to use tho property of others, except foi their advantage, nor without cousent, un less they are minors. It with their consent you invest their property as well as you can and it is all lost, you aru not to blame. You did tho best you could- But do not come into the delusion which has ruined so inauv men of thinking because a thing Is in their possession therefore it i9 theirs'. You have a solemu trust that God has given you. In any assemblage tljero maj be some who have {misappropriated trust funds. Put them back, or If you bav« so hopelessly involved them that ypu cannot put them back confess tho whole thing to those whom you have wronged aud vou will sleep better nights and you will have tho better chaaco for your soul. What a snd thing it would be if after yev aru dead your administrator should And out from the account books or from th« lack of vouchers that you are not onlj bankrupt In estate, but that you lost yom soul! If all the trust funds t'iat have been misappropriated should suddenly fly to their owners and all tho property that has been purloined should suddenly go back to its owners. It would crush intc rube overy city In America. A missionary in one of tUe islands ot the Pacillo preached on dlsboneaey. nod the next morning lie looked out ot his window and he saw ills yurd full of goods of alt kinds, lie wondered and asked thu causa of all this. "Well," said yio natives, "out gods that we have been worshiping permit us to steal; but according to what you auld yesterday, the God of hea\en and earth will not allow this. So wo Irlng back ail these goods and we ask you to help us in taking tbem to the placts where tbey belong." If next Sabbatb all the ministers in America should preach sermons on the abuse of trust funds and on the evils ol purloining, and the sermons were all blessed of Uodand regulations were mad« that nil tbesu things should be taken tc the city halls, it would not be long before every city ball in America would be orowded from cellar to cupola. Let me say in the most emphatic man ner to ull young men, dishonesty will never pay. An nbbot wanted to Vuy a piece of ground and the owner would not sell it, but the owner finally consented to let it to him until he could raise one crop, and the abbot sowed acorns, a crop of 200 years! And X tell you, young man, that the dishonesties which you plant In youi heart and life will seem to be vary iusig nillcant, but they will grow up until they will overshadow you with horrible dark uess, overshadow all time and all eternity. It will not be a crop for 200 years, but "a crop for everlasting ages. I have also a word of comfort for all who suffer from the malfeasance of others, and every honest man, woman and child does suffer from what goes on in financial scampdom. Society bso bound together that all the misfortunes whioji good people suffer in business matters come from the misdeeds of others. Bear up un der distress, stroug in God. He will see you through, though your misfortunes should bo centupled. Scientists tell us that a column of air forty-ilve miles iu height rests on every man's head and shoulders. But tbat Is nothing compared with the pressure that business life lias put upon many ot you. God made up His mind long ago how many or how few dollars it would be bast for you to have. Trust to His appointment. The door will soon open to let you oat and let you uj).

This very agitation is evi dence that the people's conscience is being pricked because of the nubile toleratlou of an awful evil that is dally perpetrating the most horrible curse upon humanity, and specially upou the workingman, and still more, cruelly treating tho innocent wife and children. Necessity? Why? Because there is money in tho business, money for those who fatten upon the llfeblood sapped from tbe vitals of tho tollers ot our land, and this selflsh Interest simply purchases the privilege for the saloon to exist for the further gain of its promoters. The curse, the blighting, devastating curse of the su loou cannot be hidden by the assertion that the saloon Is the worklngman's club. If it is his club, it Is used only by him to brain his wife and beat all tiie joy, bope and honor from the hearts and lives of his off spring, who have a right by the sacrednoss ot birth to tho sheltering care and protec tion of a father in the full control ot his senses, and of tho home fellowship of raith ful parents. The saloon robs theiu of this enjoyment. The saloon Is not philanthropic. It docs not exist for the sake of providing social relaxation for tbe weary. Any association it affords only servos Its deadly purpose the more. The wife and children need not only social relaxation, but relaxation from disgrace and dishonor, abuse and pinched poverty, and from the more trying neces sity of wearing poor It not ragged clothes, and from tiio harrowing necessity of eatlog hardened crusts while tbe saloon knoper's wii'e aud children revel in their purple and Hue linen and faro sumptuously overy day. A necessity? An institution a necessity that robs tho nation of over ablillou a vetir, sends 100,000 drunkards to their graves, makes 50.000 orphans, 20,000 widows, causes "000 suicides, a loss to the nation ot $lO,- 000,000 through tiro and vloleuce, aud causes pureuts under its deadly, stupefying Influences to overlay '2500 llt'.iu innocent ebiidreu every time we count ity-two Saturday nights lu the United Stats aud 1< the cause of ninety-seven per cent, of all crimes I A necessity? Never! Bavolutlon moves .lowly. but Just as suro as the sun shines, just so surely is public opinion closing lu jn the saloou. You may not soe it and 1 may not, but what sometimes will not hap pen in 100 years happens In a day, aud some day, and that day is not so far distant either, the tide of sentiment will be aroused against tho saloou aud distillery, because of their constant menace to so ciety. and this fearful institution will be lifted from our body politic and dropped to the nethermost beli. Until then, welcome, thrice welcome, to any agency that has for Its purpose tho lessening of intemperance, whether it be through the coffee wagon, tho mercy seat or the ballot box. But hail to the glud day when It shall be no more! I desire to have It clearly understood that the foregoing is not in any way intended us a criticism to the remarks of Bishop Potter. I regard bis remarks as Intended to bo a re buke to the professed friends of humanity and the moruls of tho people whose duty it is to restrict the saloou and to provide places of respectable resort fur the laboring man.

In an address at the recent annual meet ing of tho United Kingdom Alliance, held at Manchester, England, Rev. Charles Gar rett said: "I met with a brewer, a good man in his way, who had been a member und office bearer in our church for years. He was a man Kindly, generous, ready to help any body in distress, and with a kindly word for anybody in trouble. He met mo, and we had a hearty shako of the hand. He said; 'Well, Mr. Garrett, I suppose you are as earnest in teototallsm as ever.' 'Yes,' I said, 'rather more.' 'Well,' ho said, ' It's all righth, you know; It pleases you und it doesn't hurt me. Tho fact If, I was never doing better than I am doing now.' Not long afterward I saw Ills second son come out of the yard In delirium tremens with three men struggling with him, ft tine young fellow, and broad-chested. I saw them as they wrestled with him, his veins standing out like ropes on his forehead, aud his eyes Hashing. I saw him fall; they carried him In. Half an hour afterward I heard a whisper, 'he is is dead,' aud I went into try and coiutort the family, and when I entered the room, there was tne body, and on that sldo was the mother drunk, and on the other side wns the brother drunk. A 9 I stood and looked on that hor rible scene I heard that father's words ugaln, 'lt never paid mo better.' " Notes of the Crusade.
