But I think more young men are
slaughtered through irrellglon. Takeaway
a young man's religion and you make
him the prey of evil. We all know that
the Bible is the only perfect avstem of
morals. Now, If you want to destroy a
oung man's morals, take his Bible away,
ow will you do that? Well, vou will cari
cature his reverence for the BcrlDtures.
you will take all thone incidents of the
Bible which can be made mirth of Jonah's
whale, (Sampson's foxes, Adam's rib. Then
you will caricature eccentrio Christians or
Inconsistent Christians. Then vou will
pass off as your own all those hackneyed
arguments against Christianity which are
as 01a as 10m fame, as old as Voltaire,
as old as sin. Now you have captured his
Bible, and you have taken his strongest
fortress. The way Is comparatively clear,
and all the gates ot his soul are sot open
In invitation to tho sins of earth and tho
sorrows of death, that they may come In
anu anve me stane lor their encampment.
A steamer 1500 miles from shore, with
broken rudder and lost compass, and hulk
leaking fifty gallons tho hour, Is better off
than a young man when you have robbed
htm of bis Bible. Have you ever noticed
how despicably mean It is to take away the
worms uiuio witnouc proposing a substi
tute? It is meaner thnn coming to a sick
man and steal his medicine, menner than
to come to a cripple and steal bis crutch.
meaner than to come to a pauper and steal
his crust, meaner than to come to a poor
man and burn his bouso down. It Is the
worst of all laroenlos to steal the Bible
which has been crutch and modlcino ami
food and eternal homo to so manv. What
a generous and magnanimous business In
fidelity has gone into this splitting up of
uicuoncs nnu niKinif awav 01 lire escanes
and extinguishing of lighthouses! I come
out nnu i say to suou people, "what are
you doing all this for?" "Oh." thev sav.
"just for fun." It Is such fun to see Chris
tians try to hold on to their Bibles! Many
ot them have lost loved ones and have
been told that there Is a resurrection, and
It is such fun to tell them there will lie no
resurrection! Many of them have bnllevod
that Christ came to carry tho burdens and
to heal the wounds of the world, and It is
such fun to tell them thoy will have to bn
their own savior! Think of tho meanest
thing you evor heard of, thon go down 1000
leet uiKlerneath It. and you will And vour-
self at the top ot a stairs 100 miles long: go

And a lndder 1000 miles long; then go to
tho foot of the ladder and look off a preci
pice half as far as from here to China, and
you will find the headquarters of the mean
ness that would rob this world of its only
comfort In life, Its only pence In death anil
Its only hope for Immortality. (Slaughter a
young man's faith In Ood, and there is not
much more left to slaughter.
Mow what has become of the alauir h-
tered? Well, some of them are in their
father's or mother's house, broken down
In health, waiting to die; others are In tho
hospital, others are In tho cemetery, or,
rather, their bodies are, for their souls
have gone on to retribution. Not much
prospect for a young man who started llfo
with' good health &3d Rood education And
a Christian example set him, and oppor
tunity ot usefulness, who gathered all his
treasures and put tUom in one box, and
then dropped it into Tub sea.
Now, how is this wholesule slaughter to
be ptonped? There is not a porsou who is
not interested In that question. The ob
ject of my sermon is to put a weapon ID
each or your hands for your own defense.
Wait not for Young Men's Christian Asso
ciations to protoct you or churches to pro
tect you. Appealing to Clod for help, take
care of vourse.lf.
first, nave a room somewnore mat you
can call your own. Whether it be the
back parlor of a fashionable boarding
house or a room in the fourth story ot a
cheap lodging I care not. Only have that
one room your fortress. Let not the dissi-
fater or unclean step over the threshold,
f they oome up the long flight of stairs and
knock at the door, meet them face to face
and kindly yet firmly refuse them admit
tance. Have a few family portraits on the
wall, if you brought thom with you from
your country homo. Have a Bililo on tho
stand. If you can afford it and can piny
on one, have nn instrument ot music harp
or flute or cornet or melodoon or violin or
piano. Every morning before you leave
that room pray. Every night after you
oome home in that room pray. Make that
room your Gibraltar, your Sevastopol.
your Mount Zion. Let no bad book or
newspaper come into that room auvmore
than you would allow a cobra to coll on
your table.
Take care of yoursalf. Nobody else will
take care ot you. Your help will not come
up two or tnree or lour nights ot stairs;
?our help will come through the roof, down
rom heaven, from that Ood who in the
6000 years of the world's history never be
trayed a young man who tried to be good
and a Christian. Let me say in regard to
your adverse worldly circumstances, Id pass
ing, that you are on a level now with those
who are finally to succeed. Mark my words,
young man, and think of it thirty years
from now. You will And that thoso who
thirty years from now nre the millionaires
ot this country, who are the orators of the
country, who are the poets of the country,

There is no class of persons that so stir
mv sympathies as young men in great
cities. Not quit enough salary to live on,
and all the temptations that come from
that deficit. Invited on all hands to driuk,
and their exhausted nervous system seem
ing to demand stimulus. Their religion
caricatured by the most of the clerks In the
store and most ot the operatives In the
factory. The rapids of temptation and
death rushing against that young man
forty miles the hour, and he in a frail boat
headed up stream, with nothing but a
broken oar to work with. Unless Almighty
God help them they will go under.
An. when I told you to take care or your
self you misunderstood me If you thought
I meant you are to depend upon human
resolution, whioh mny be dissolved In the
foam of the wine cup or may be blown out
with the first gust of temptation. Here is
the helmet, the sword ot tho Lord God
Almighty. Clothe yourself In that panoply,
and you shall not be put to confusion, bin
ays well neither In tuls world nor the next,
ul right thinking and right believing ami
right acting will take you In safety through
this lite ana in transport through the next.
l never snail lorget a prayer l neara a
Joung man make some fifteen years ago.
t was a very short prayor. but it was a
tremendous prayer: "O Lord, help usl We
nna ie so very easy to ao wrong ana so
hard to do rlghtl Lord, help usl" That
prayer, I warrant you, rescued the ear of
Ood and reached Bis heart. And there art
100 men who have found out 1000 young
men, perhaps, who have found out that
very thing. It is to very easy to do wrong
and so hard to do right.
I got a letter one day, only one para,
graph, which I shall read:
"Having moved around somewhat, 1
have run across many young men of intel
ligence, ardent striven after that will-o'-the-wisp
fortune and ot one ot these I
would speak. He was a young Englishman
of twenty-three or twenty-tour years, who
came to New York, where he had no ac
quaintances, with barely sufficient to keep
him a couple of weeks. He had been ten
derly reared, perhaps I should say too ten
derly, and was not used to earning his
living and found it extremely difficult to
get any position that he was capable of till
lng. After many vain efforts In this direction
he found himself on a Sunday evening in
Brooklyn, near yourohurch, with about 3
left of his small capital. Providence seemed
to lead him to your door, and he determined
to go in and near you. He told me his
going to hear you that night was undoubt
edly the turning point in his life, for when
he went into your churoh he felt desper
ate, but while listening to your discourse
his better nature got the mastery. I truly
believe from what this young man told me
that your sounding the depths of his heart
that night alone brought him back to his
God whom he was so near leaving."
That is the echo of multitudes. I am
not preaching an abstraction, but a great
reality. O friendless young man, O
prodigal young man, O broken hearted
young man, dlscouragod young man,
wounded youna man. I commend to vou
Christ this day, the best friend a man ever
had. He meets you this morning. De
spise not that emotion rising in vour soul;
It is divinely lifted. Look Into the face of
Christ. Lift one prayer to your father's
God, to your mother's God, and this morn
ing get the pardoning blessing. Now,
while I speak, you are at tho forks of the
road, and this is tho right road, aud that is
the wrong road, and I soe you start on the
right road.
One Hahbnth morning at the close of the
service I saw a gold watch of the world
renowned and deeply lamented violinist,
Ole Bull. You remember he died in his
Island home off the const of Norway. Thnt
gold watch hu had kept wound up dny
after day through his last Illness, and then
he said to his companion, "Now, I want to
wind this watch as long us I can, and thon
when I am gone I want you to keep It
wound up until It goes to my friend. Dr.
Doromus, In New York, and thon he will
keep It wound up until his lite Is done, and
theu I want the watch to go to his young
soil, my especial favorite."
The great musician who more thnn any
other artist hnd nindn the violin speak, aud
sing, and weep, and liitigh, and triumph
for it seemed when ho drew the bowacross
the strings as If nil earth and heaven shiv
ered in delighted sympathy tho great
musician. In a room looking off upon tho
sen. and surrounded by his favorite Instru
ments of music, closed his eyes In death.
While all the world was mourning at his
departure sixteen crowded steamers foil
Into line of funeral procession to carry his
body to the mainland. There wer ) 50,000 of
his con n try men gathered lu an amphithea
ter of the hills waiting to hear tho
euloglum, nnd It was said when tho
great orator of tho day with sten
torian voice began to speak tlm 50,
000 people on the hillsides burst 'into
tears. Oh, that was tho close of a life
that hnd done ho much to make tho world
happy! But I have to tell you, young man,
If you live right nnd die right, that was a
tainescone compared with that which will
greet you when from the galleries of heaven
tho 144.000 shall accord with Christ In cry
ing, "Well dono, thou good and faithful
servant!" And the influences that on earth
you put in motion will go down from gen
eration to generation, tho Influences you
wound up banded to your children, and
their influences wound up and handed to
their children, until watch nnd dock aro
no more needed to mnrk tho progress, bo-
cause time Itself shall bo no longer.

JAPAN IS HARD UP.
Treasury Said to He Hcrlously Kinbar-
ranted For Iteady Money.
The Japnuese Government is seriously
embarrassed financially owing to tho rapid
pace nt whioh the nation bos been going
since the wur with China.
Civilization has necessitated Increased
expenditures in every direction, particu
larly in building railroads, telegraph lines,
new Government buildings, improving
harbors and strengthening the army and
navy.
'rue treasury was not directly benefited
by the big war Indemnity paid by China,
because it has been kept in England to pay
for new war ships aud armament. Owing
to the Increased expenditures during tho
past year ail tne uovernment s reserve
funds are exhausted.
There Is great need of rain in Korea, and
the Governor has sent priests to the moun
tains to petition the gods for showers. It
is certain large Importations of grain will
bo necessary.
A WARNINC TO THE COLD SEEKERS.
Hardships Sure and starvation For Many
Almost Certain.
L. M. Turner, who has spent eleven years
In Alaska and tho Arctic regions in tho em
ploy of the Government, says lu nn inter
view: "It is about time to call a bait on this
mad rush to the Klondike gold Holds,
Hundreds ot men aro going as far as thoy
can, relying on others to help them. That
help will be meagre enough and scores will
certainly endure hardships that death
ulone will rolleve. The transportation
companies cannot possibly accommodate
the number going by way of Bt. Michaels.
The small river steamers will not afford
room for one-third the number going by the
route. The provisions will have to be fur
nished .by the transportations companies,
and two-thirds of the passengers will board
at Ht. Michaels or along the Yukon, and
they will not see Dawson City until next
spring. Many ot those who go by the way
of Dyea will be compelled to winter at the
headwaters ot the Yukon."
Now OHlcUlly "Klondike."
It was officially decided by tuo'Geo
logloal Survey, Washington, that in the
future the name ot the river on which the
gold Holds nre located should be spelled
with an 1 Instead ot y, as has been observed
heretofore. The spelling has been more
frequently Klondyke than Klondike, but
the latter is now tho correct way.

It is a fact which admits of no argument that a school teacher's task
is a severe one indeed, and it requires a perfect system and steady
nerves to be able to conduct a class-room in a proper manner. That
Ripans Tabulcs help to keep the system in perfect order and strengthen
the nerves is testified to by a prominent school teacher in Philadelphia,
who says: "I have been teaching the Ninth Grade in the George M.
Wharton School for the past eight years, and it is a hard matter to
comprehend what a task I have every season when I get in a new set
of pupils froi the lower sections. You sec it requires great patience
and assiduity to discipline and educate boys, and the task is a very
arduous one. Especially is this the case during the examinations, when
the work is very exacting and the drain on the system extensive. From
leaning over my books and marking up papers for five or six hours at
a time I get a headache and my entire system gets shattered, but a
Ripans Tabule always straightens me up, and next morning I am ready
for the task over again, feeling as fresh as ever from the effects of the
magic Tabule taken on the previous night. It is certainly a wonderful
remedy for nervousness and invigorating a wasted system, and in this
I voice the sentiments of all the teachers in my section, every one of
whom has used them with equally beneficial results."
