BUSINESS OF TODAY. REV. THOMAS DIXON, JR^ ?WK^THE COURT OF HONOR." rh? SWrtto tto'lactMmon or tte Serie? on *-it? Prophecies of the Worina Fair." ' Is i*?^od?rx? BOSIMMB World a Cot? of Association hall this morning ' by an? nouncing before tbe seraotr that after the first day of January HS would stop ?he publication of bis sermons. He sadd: "I ?ave informed the American Press t Association that with the close of the present series I will no longer furnish my sermons for publication. I have two reasons for this: I am not yet 30 years . old-I am writing too much thus early i in life. I desire to spend several years in study before writing more. Besides, with my present methods of work and study I find the method of advance prep? aration of manuscript for the press an , intolerable drain on my time and ener Tbe sermon this morning was on The Court of Honor,"the next to the last in the series of the "Prophecies of the World's Fair.,,r"The text chosen was from I Corinthians iii, 21, -"All things are yours." But twice before- in my lit? have I been so profoundly moved as when I stood for tiie first time within "The Court of Honor" of the fair-once when I stood on the lofty summit of a grand mountain peak and MM:4>w? upon the great world God bsd made so beau? tiful, and onee again when Inrstclimn^J ed the sand dunes of my native state and gazed upon miles of ?ceen breakers as they rolled in from, y fiffirn^j?Bjey 4 and broke upon the beach wirb hiss and boom and sullen roar. .; 1 couldn't teen back- the tea?T-who. could ithat had a soul? THE COURT OF HONOR. Julian Hawthorne has most beauti ? fully described that scene: "The pale ^gilded dome of the Administration building, the ranged columns of the peristyle, the pinnacles and the Diana ; dome, with the golden goddess floating above it and forever aiming her arrow at the wind's eye; the mighty statue of tho republic, majestic with her uplifted - arms and, severe drapery, dominating the eastern end of the lagoon* and the wnrtelipfer?ai o? tl??rgreat fon nt mn at the other extremity, with that ravish? ing figure of Liberty sitting divinely erect in her chair on fte poop, of the barge, lier eight maiden gondoliers o?r ingr-on either si^ wj?le ?^fterlnne steers on the stern, his scythe fastened to the tiller, and Progress alights on the hows, her trumpet in her hand; then the Venetian bridgB90atsfCJithe arms of the lagoon, write J?eBaey*!J majaebjess bears and buffalos guarding them; the mighty bulls and horses on tho midway steps, the triumphal pillara marking the corners of the vast quadrangle with the^aseader^ws?^e^-^esmty,tbocaBooio*' ito little Greek temples in the fore s^ound of the peristyle, the glorious lift the whole stupendous conception, which, ?* despite its infinite variety, ?3 a harmo? nious unit of design, and finally the igleaming, glancing lagoon itself, rhym? ing with tho Dearary above and multi? plying it and rippling round the defe? cate noses of the gondolas as they flit noiselessly hither and thi&er with tibe gallant figures of the Venetian oars? men in bow and stern.. These things make an en in our national aesthetic ?ducation, and the development of our people in the knowledge and love of beauty will date from this happy epoch." "ALL THINGS ABB YOURS. " leonid but feel the clash between this scene of peace and beauty and glo? ry and the actualities of Gie business world the walls of these palaces cover? ed. Will this great Court of Honor ever he realty incarnated in our business? Or ia the eta^?un^re?aihfe a?dfiope? \ less between the divine and the rush for P gain? s "AUtbings are yours, " even business, and the business world, andi a business career, and ? nosiness life. Yet the more I see of modem business, as trans? acted today, ftytjfpr 1M?K? me 1 nearer have to enter into a business ' transaction that ca?a me into direct touch with ti? supreme spirit of our aa?tt%?a|yiiijwJal rife, as at present conducted, tiwt''it does not make me heartsick. I feel, when through with it, as if I wanted to get off somewhere in a desert and scratch out a cave in the aide of a hill and live on herbs in a simpler, honest life. If there is in any \ man's mind a doubt a? to whether tho modern spirit of successful business is in harmony with the spirit of Jesus Christ, ail he has to do is first to know what Jesus Christ taught, and then go with that spirit in his heart into your modern refrigerator of a thoroughly up to date^^wn ?R?k?Jmk winate busi? ness transaction. J? a successful business of today afield in which a true Chri&iai, desiring pie highest and noblest things, cern enter and hope to succeed, and af the same time hold his Christian integrity f Does the Court of Honor rule our busi? ness world? To answer that question you must ask j another. First-What is CTiristianity? It is i sacrifice and the spirit of sacrifice. Jesus said if a man would save his life, let him lose it. That is the cardi? nal principle of Jesus Christ.. / That is the first and last principle of Christian? ity. Jeans lived that and died it. He ] sought no powerful friends. He made j none, -fie had na nome in which to lay j his head. He accumulated no wealth. He had no army to follow him. He wrote no book. He made no creed; He gathered a few simple fishermen about him, who were disciples, adherents, fol? lowers in Hie, in heart, in purpose, and he laid down his life, judging from a . modem business point of view, an abso? lute f airare. He only rived 38 years, and he threw away every opportunity he had of a successful career. He might have put himself at the head of an ar my ?i?cl conquered ?he ancient fc?ngtl of the Jews and thrown off the tri yoke of a Roman and kingly tyrann] lie had but so desired. . He threw f] opportunity away again and again, might haye been wealthy, if be I used his rnagnifieent powers to accun late wealth. S^night" have had1 great and powerful as his friends, I when^?o?p?e came to ero^ him a make WSn thejgleader he escaped. A ?di?d a mwf miserable dear h, air mock and jeer and scorn of his ? mies, crar^fed^ between two thiers [ 'with noVagrave that he could cadi 1 i own, his very .clothes stripped from 1 . body, dying thus outside the walls Jerusalem, a miserable felon, desert by his disciples, disowned by all w! knew him except a few faithful wome Thatis the kind of life he lived. That what he meant when he said, "If a in; would save his life, let him lose it, ai if he would find it let him lay it down, WHAT FAITH IS. The second principle of Christiani is what we call faith-the power to I : lieve in something-to believe in Gi and in man, our brother, the image God. The next principle is that love-love to God and man. That is be ? ?&r???a!S*a?^ 1 take it from the definitions of Jesu from his life and character and fro: his recorded word. Second-What is business-moder successful business-today? In the fir place, it rests upon the antithesis < sacrifice. Sacrifice represents one pol business the other pole, and the diffrr once that separates them is a gulf ? ?deep and wide and as impassable as-tt .gulf that separates heaven from bel The first principle of year modern im ness world is war, competition, bru? fight-every man for himself. It w ti strongest arm titat wins, and the weakei tees are trampled to the earth and kille and beaten without mercy. War an pestilence are the only hope to r?galai our population, according to the princ: j pies of this modern business work .Toe brutal survive, while the weak pei tab. What is to become of this vast ai my of weaklings? Well, ourMalthusia philosophers say: "We will have a pei thence by and by, and God will sen as the cholera. Or if not God in b: goodness and m ercy will send us a wai and war will thin the ranks, and th battle will' begin again. After th ..weaklings have been eliminated tb world will not be sb crowded, and w can proceed." ?? . Suca is the -basis on which moder commerce rests. In this battle, thi war, this madness, this struggle, th very competition which has been calle* the Ure of trade is its defeat. For yoi have only to press competition to a ?ez tain period when men who are fightinj each other know they must combine o die. Only press your competition fa enough, audit is either suicide or com hination. This firings into your world governed hythaf principle, infinite con fusion, for when that defeats itself an< no new system takes its place the result ii chaos-cheating, lying,swindling,steal jug?, crime, intemperance, suicide, de spair. Why do men open saloons and sel whisky ? Why, because they have accept ed this modera principie of tile moderr world that the strongest maa fe the max that is worthy to survive; that it is s battle, a war, and he who is victorious is the man who is crowned, let the busi? ness be wt A ft may. Hence the gam? bler, who does not hesitate ?bout hie methods, saying that might constitutes the first principle of your modem world. Batty facts these are. living hi the business world-so much there is oi it ID all trades! Overreaching is what thousands of men are after in the busi? ness world. Tb overreach a man and get the better of him by some trick; to get ont of him more than we give in re? turn. That is the sum total of the pur pose of some lives. If in war a man is wounded, you pass him by. Most heart? less of ali things in the world is your modern business war. When a man fall by the wayside in modern business, the world bas np mercy, no heart, no ear to pity, no arm to save. That is modern Christianity a? certainly in deadly .conflict with that sort of life-succtss ful business with modern methods down to date. There are business men who* are honest. There aro men who have set out in the world with the determi? nation to make honor and truth and the good of society theil aim, and they have grown wealthy,som? of those men. They have grown powerful. Now, that being a fact, the man who departs from that law and says that be can justify him? self on the grounds of success has be? lieved a lie that ho may damn himself in the process. There are men today whoso business career is absolutely above reproach. I might mention a thousand successful businjess enterprises that have been founded th as on integri? ty. So mach the worse for the success that may be otherwise. But, a man says, the quickest way to get riela well, you do not have to be too consci? entious. Now and then just shat one eye, and then you will reach the high? est things by the most rapid process. Of course when you get your money you can db a great deal of good with it. Right may fail for a moment today, but it is certain to rise tomorrow. Men that are shrewd and cunning, men that are will? ing to lie and be unfair and dishonest, may get theil riches for awhile, but as lure as there is a God in heaven it will turn to ashes at last in their grasp. Christianity is today the real power that rules this world. You think the devil is ruling it on the top, but Chris? tianity is the real power that rules it beneath the surface. ?Some years ago in Paris money was flowing like water, and it was rumored around among pol? iticians that ail one had to do was tb shut one eye and open the other, and he would bo rich in a minute. There is plenty of money in the world ; why not you have a little? The press is on our side. You can make a million as easily as snap your finger, iso tney reasoned, and'this man fell and that. Nobody knew anything about it. Millions flow? ed in every possible direction. Men high in position succumbed to it. Well, they succeeded, invested their millions. They had their money and their day, D?t the day of wrara came atlast. A now poor weeping France looks on, a one great man falls and another and a other. And the poor little fool that w in the assembly that day and said: believe in old fashioned honor and i tegrity, and I will not have yonr rhone I will vote as my conscience dictates" he was described as a fool and an i di then, but now he is the only man th can hold his head up and look the woz squarely in the face. The great principles of right ai truth are those that really are gnidii and directing the world. Every dont ful business in this world could be s we from the face of the earth, and tl earth would be richer. Whenever m< ask you to enter into a successful bus ness transaction, remember that th world can do without that transacts and be the better for it, and you hi better let it alone. It is not the easie way, this way of Christian life, ; against this modern business metho bnt it is the only, true way. Christiai in the past had a hard time to liv then they died. They were put to deal in the arena. They marched over bun ing plowshares. The Christian man t day can live better, easier, with le sacrifice called forby modern life, tha ever before in the history of the worh And the man that says, "I cannot Iii today unless I do these tilings, '* simp] lies. Is the business world in conflit with Christianity? So much the wors for the business world. The curse ( God-a living, withering, blastin curse-is on that society, on that con merce that makes success possibl against truth and right and honor. HONEST WORK SACRED. "All things are yours," and becauf the business world is a legitimate fiel for a Christian its obligations are higl It is yours; but, precisely because it ii it is holy ground. The merchant tha sits at his desk is doing as sacred a worl when honest in his transactions and deal ings, as I do when 1 am here at thi desk before you on Sunday. The laboi er at his anvil, the farmer who hold his plow, every workingman that doe his work unto the Lord, is doing a sa cred work. His shop, his office, hi place of business, is as sacred as th high altar of God-to him, for God call ed him there to he the high priest. Bot you say, what is the use to be honest People love to be humbugged. Bul my friend, for your own sake, be hon est. Most people, take them ail in ail have a large streak of fool in them They will run after special bargain and sales. For your own heart and Hf he honest Yon do not fool yourelf, an< when you marie your goods to fool til? people and to rope in the unwary yoi know in yourself you have degrade* yourself. You have sold your own sou out to the devj 1 in the process. Be han est and avoid every manolo in th< process of the business world seeas U coin money out of other people's blood I am done with bargains, sheriff's sah and bankrupt clothing establishments, If yon support those establishments, yoi are trading in the blood of broker hearts and homes, for it took good, hare labor to make those goods, and if thej are sold at less than it costs to make them you are buying the price of good hearts' blood. As for the man that cai undersell another man and make it pos? sible to undersell by cheating clerks and giving small wages and making them work their lives out-I would rather gc to a man that gives his clerks honest salaries. The time may come in your life when adversity may be yours, and your loved ones are thrown on this great vulgar labor market of the world, and in your own flesh and blood others can trade in dollars and cents. If you get what are called bargains today, it means somebody's heart is broken-somebody else has paid for it too high a price. SOULLESS CORPORATIONS. I do not want anything to do with business transactions where the princi? ples that are used are such that an indi? vidual would not touch. We have .corporations. A distinguished man died some years ago in New York city, the soul of honor in every personal transaction. His servants stood weep? ing by the door when he died. He did not owe a cent Everything was paid for ia cash. He said : " Do not owe your workingman a cent It is dishonest to keep his wages from him, unless you pay hint1 interest on it-pay him promptly. " But he was at the head of a gigantic corporation that held a mo? nopoly and made his fortune out of the lives of a community that were ground in the process. And when men ap? proached him he said, "I am honest in all my transactions, but a corporation bas got no soul. " God does not call cor? porations to account. The devil does not call them to account. They have no soul. They will even cheat the devil. Bat God does call the individuals that constitute the corporation to account. God will call to account all the persons involved in the conduct of that business. Individuals will thus render their ac? counts at the last. Why, you know that a town council and a school committee sometimes will be cruel and unjust and unprincipled in a transaction that an individual man or woman would scorn to stoop to. A merchant who would scorn to sell flour mixed with ehalk, scorn to mix up his goods and adulterate them and sell them to the world, who would kick another man out of his store who would offer him a trick by which he could adulterate sugar or flour or coffee-yet sometimes those very men will go into a corpor? ation and swindle thousands. If you think you can, through the process of your social or political ma? chiner)-, cheat Almighty God, let me assure you that, while men may not un? derstand, the great God of heaven and earth understands, and you are just as responsible as though you had done it personally. Let us understand, then, that while cannibalism may be justified on the high seas sometimes, the soul of the world still revolts at it. Some sail? ors came in the other day and reported that, starving to death, they fell on a brother sailor and ate his body. They arrested them and put them in jail. They are waiting trial for their life. They will not be convicted, because the jury will say that it was life or death. They ?'a?t lois. They coola* not execute a man fer saving himself from starva? tion. But when a man eats his neigh? bor for the very luxury of eating him, just takes the choice parts of his body and discards the others, if there is any law above the earth or under it or on it that will justify that I have yet to lind it. THE HEART Di THE WORK. Enter and abide, young man, in no business that you cannot put your heart in. Some of us have to do things that are disagreeable. If yon have to choose your profession, choose something that you can put your heart in, or yon will never be successful in it. They had a competition in plans for a monument for Walter Scott in Scotland, and a man who was a simple carpenter once, Mr. Kemp, won the prize, and the plans were accepted for that monument that stands now the tribute of Scotland's love to this matchless genius. Why did he succeed; As he passed along the road one day a dusty carpenter boy, a gentleman driving in his carriage saw he was tired and stopped his horse, and the great man said, "Get up and ride with me." So he became acquainted with Sir Walter Scott and learned to love and admire him. And it was one of the inspirations of his life that led him to become a master architect more than a carpenter. And when they threw the competition open to the world, this man drew the matchless monument that now stands there incarnated in marble. Why? Because his heart was in it. Other men could not compete with him, because he had put his soul into it. The highest success in life is that work in which a man can thus put his soul, his heart The- heart, after all, is worth more than mere success and mere dollars and cents. Let ns at least hope that our children will live to see the day that there shall in deed and truth be a grand Court of Honor in the midst of the world's busi? ness in which beauty and righteousness shall rule. ? Doable Catch. The Eganville (Ont.) Star is respon? sible for the following story: A young man named Tom French, hailing from Renfrew, in the employ of Mr. John McGuire at Barry's Bay, went out on the bay in a small nark canoe trolling for : trout. After paddling for quite awhile he observed a large-buck com? ing toward him. When near the canoe, it turned and made for the shore quick? ly, followed by Tom, who, when he came alongside of the beauty, saw that its horns were entangled in the troll. | line, the result being that the canoe and its occupant were pulled toward shore." Mr. Joseph Prince then appeared on the scene in another canoe, when the two men, with the aid of their paddles, suc? ceeded in dispatching the noble denizen cf the forest. : When trie} exciting battle was over, Tom noticed on the end of his line a,28 poond trout?_ CLarlBst?n Snmter anti Northera R.R CHAS.
