Eronomtie In anything rather than In your Christian chant lee. There la not more than one out of 800 of you who over give enough to do you any good, and when aome cause of Christianity, eomo mlaalonary »x-lety or Illbh- society or church organization, comes alung and getaanything from you what do you aayf You aay, “I have been bled," and there never waa a more significant figure uf speech than that used In common parlance. Yea, you have boon hied, and you are spiritually emaciated, when If you had been courageous enough to go through your property and any, "That helnngo to God. and thla belongs to God, and the other thing belongs to God." and no mom dansl to appropriate It toyour’own use than something that ladoiiged to your neighbor, instead of being Med to death by charities you would hove iwen rslnvlgomted and recuperated and built up for time and for eternity. God will keep many of you cramped In money matters until the day of your death oiileas you awing out Into largur generosities.

People quota as a joke what Is a divine nromlso, "Cast thy bread upon the waters and It will return to thee after many days." What did God mean by that! Them Is an allusion there. In Egypt when they sow tlie com It Is at a time when the Xlie Is overllowlng Its banka, and they sow the nerd corn on the waters, and as tho Nile begins to recede this seed corn strike* In the earth and comes np a harIf they nm throwing the corn away on the waters, hut after awhile tiny gather It up In a liarveaV Now says Cod In his word, "Cast thy bread upon the waters and It shall conic lack to thee after many days." It may stem to you that you are throwing It away on rliarltha, hut It will yield a harvest of green and gold—a harvest on earth and a luirvo-t In heaven. If men could aiipreclnle that and art on that, we would have no more trouble about Indl vldual or national Bnance*. Inscription tho third, for the cum of all our Individual and national financial distresses—a gnat spiritual awakening. It Is no mere theory. The mivchante of this country were positively demented with Uio monetary excitement In 1887. There never bufore nor since has bean such a stale of financial depression as there was at Hint lime. A revival came, and 600,000 jxoplc were born Into the kingdom of God. What came after the jevlvalf The grandest financial pnisperity we hove ever had In Ibis country. Tho finest fortunes, tho largest fortune* In tho Cnlud Plato*, have boon made since 1867. " Well," you and revival to do with monetary Improve mcnl and revlvalf " Much to do. The re Uglon of Jesus Christ has a direct tendency to make men honest and sober and truth tolling, snd are not honesty and sobriety and truth tolling auxiliaries of material prosperity? If wo could have an awakening in this country es In the daye of Jonathan Kdwarde of Northampton, as In the daye of Dr. Finley of Daaklng Ridge, ae In tho daye of Dr. Griffin of Iloston, tho whole land would rouee to a higher moral tone, and with that moral tone the hnneet huslneae entorprt*' of the country would come tip. You soy a great awakening has an Influence upon the future world. I teU you It ha* a direct Influence upon the financial welfare of tide world- The religion of Christ Is no foo to suooeasful business. It Is He last friend. And If there should come a great awaken Ing In this country, and all the henke and Insurance companies and store* and offices and shop* should close up for two weeks and do nothing but attend to the public -worship of Almighty God. after such a spiritual vacation tho land would wake up to such financial prosperity as we have never dreamed of. Godllnvse Is profitable for the life that now le as well os for that whioh Is to conic; but. my friends, do not put eo much emphasis on worldly success as to let your eternal affair* go at loose ends I have nothing to ssy against money. The more money you g>< the belter, If It onmes honestly and goes usefully. For the lack of It sickness dloe without medicine, and hunger finds its coffin In an empty bread tray, and nakedness shivers fur clothes end fire. All this canting tirade against money as though It had no practical use, wlien I hear a man Indulge In it. It makes mo think the best heaven for him would lio an everlasting poorhouse. No. tin re le a practical use in also admit that It cannot satisfy the soul; that It cannot lay for our fivriage across Ihc Jordan of death; that It can not unlock the gate of heaven for our Immortal

Yet there are men who act a* though packs of bonds oral mortgages could ho traded off for a mansion In heaven and as though gold were a legal tender In that land where it Is so common that they make pavement* out of It .Salvation by Christ 1* the only salvation. Treasures In heaven are the only Incorruptible treasure*. Have you ever ciphered out that sum In loss and gain, "What shall It profit a man If he gain the whole world and loao his soul?" You may wear On* apparel now, but the winds of death will flutter It like rags. Homespun and a threadbare coat have sometimes been the shadow of robe* white In the Mood of the Isimh. All the mines of Aostralla and Brazil, .strung In on* rareanet, are not Worth to you as much as tbs pearl of great price. You remember, I suppose, tome years ago, the shipwreck of the Central America? A storm came on that veeerl T>c surges tramped the deck and swept down throng b the-hatches, and there went up S hundred vulmd death shriek. Tbs foam on the Jew of the wave. The pitchlug of the steamer, as though It would laap a mountain. The glare of the signal rocket*. The long cough of the steam pipca. The hiss of czlihgulsbed furnaces. The walking of God on the wave Oh, it was a stupe.moo* sjswtacle. But that ship did not go down without a struggle. The jasN'iigt. - stood In long lines trying to ball It out and men unused to toll tugged until tluir hands were hllstsnd and their muscles were strained. After awhli* a sail caim in sight. A few fsungnTs got off, but tbs* most went down. Tbs ship gave on* lurch and was lost.
