THE POLITICAL SITUATION,
Am Vlpweil hv IMiilnwnitIi<>r "
In the light ot passing events and of recent
developments, my ideas have undergone
some very marked changes. My conception
of patriotism, or the love of our country and
its people, is very different now from what it
was thirty years ago. I then thought that to
bleed and die for one's country and people
was about, the full size ot patriotism and its
requirements. There was a time when I
thought faith, the size of a mustard seed, was
full grown, and was large enough for any purpose.
I once thought to believe that a whale
swallowed a man and kept him aboard Ills
craft for three days, and then safely landed
him in port was about the si/.uof fully matured
credulity.
My faith in the patriotism of political demagogues,
and my ciedulity in the measures
they propose of bringing prosperity and
wealth to the paupers of tiie country, have
until lately been so small, shrunk and dwarfed
that they were not larger than the ravelings
of the little end of-nothing.
These latter day political patriots have developed
u love of country and neonle. and ?
disregard oi their own interests so reckless,
and h statesmanship so sagacious, that it hits
unset all my former notions on these subjects.
I am bewildered in astonishment, and lost in
amazement. My comprehensive powers are
disbanded, and I feel as if my cranium was
disembowelled, and t lie contents evaporated,
and nothing but the dust of tlie ashes left to
show the utter desolation of the situation. 1
am left so far behind in oblivion that it would
take the best astronomer of the age. with
Lick's telescope to discover my obscurity.
The sacritices and condescensions made by
tbe political patriots of the present day are
so unspeakably stupendous as to overshadow
and completely obscure all past efl'orts in
serving the dearly beloved people and country.
In what age or land can we look for
their peers!1 In what tribe or nation could we
find one so regardless of self interest as to
give up the noble and exalted calling of selling
lire extinguishers to take a seat among
the ragamuffins of Congress, In the service oi
iup pcopie ne mves so wen. w lien wo contemplate
ilie surroundings of culture and refinement,
of ea?e and dignity, of financial
prosperity and prospects in the calling and
occupation of selling fire extinguishers, all
cheerfully given up and set aside to serve the
people as Congressman, and when we consider
the stanch of the low social surroundings
to be endured by one of such cultured refinements
and such fastidious tastes, being.subjected
to such a position ol degradation as the
duties of Congressman subjects him to, and
when we further reflect that there is no reward
or hope of reward, except in the small
pittance of ?5,00') a year as salary and a few
perquisites that it Judiciously handled might
realize as much more, at any rate hardly ex
ceeding 510,000 a year. And then for such service.
requiring at least thirty days of his precious
time, how can we conceive of the enormity
of tlie sacrifice, yet we have the man
willing to endure all this degradation, this
destruction of prospects almost withoutnsKinir,
and rushes to take upon himself the bur

reward except the consciousness ot duty u<>
blydone. Such examples oi devotion ought
to outlast monuments of brass or marble,
and should be kept bright when time ceases
to exist.
There is one other thimr I feel to be my
duty,and that is to record the faith of the
people In such noble patriotism. There was
a man in the long past bygone told if he had
faith as large us a mustard seed, he could remove
a mountain by word of mouth. Now,
when a whole people has faith enough to believe
in such patriotism as tills, it must lie as
large a< a Texas pumpkin and lartieenough to
swallow a whole range of mountains, and
then swallow themselves and still be hungry.
Yours truly, Flicker.

The following is an extract. from a sermon
recently preached by Rev. F. Y. l'ressly from
the text: "Make to yourselves friends of (or
by means of) the mammon of unrighteousnoss;
that, when ye fall, they may receive
you into everlasting habitations."?Luke lii:!>.
The phrase "mammon of unrighteousness"
interpreted In the light of the preceding context,
means the world and its possessions. It
includes, too, the whole method of the world
life, of which money-getting is the centre.
Ami now the question at once arises, How
should the Christ inn stand related to it? How
can he obey conscience and God on the oue
hand, and serve his business interests on the
other? This Is a vital question that presses
lor an answer, and ofttimes with an insistence
that will take no denial.
There are three ways of looking at It. Some

soul. They interpret those Scriptures which
refer to tlie love of the world ami the love of
money us meaning thnt the world and It* tvfI'airs
are inimical to the soul and ull Us spiritual
Interests. They regard all business pursuits
as hostile to religion, and a hindrance to
all growth in spirituality.
In all ages men have attempted to escape
the evils of the world l?y separation from It.
itefuge has been sought in monasteries and
nunneries and other secluded retreats; poverty
lias been made a virtue, and solitude lias
been ottered as a means of grace. But we
need not tell you that the world cannot
be escaped in this way. Monastery walls and
monk's corals and nun's veils furnish 110 defence
against this foe. It Is in vain that they
try to escape tlie world by isolating themselves
from it. The enemy must be met, the
battle must be fought in some place, at some
t ime. There Is no freedom but in victory over
the power of this enemy. "Tills is the victory
thatovercoineth the world, even our faith.
\Vho is he that overcometh the world, but he
that believcth that Jesus is the Son of (Jed?-'
There are others who lgiiominlously surrender
to the world, and confess mammon their
master. They bow their necks to his yoke
without a struggle. They become willing
slaves, without tlie disposition or power to refuse
Ills most arbitrary demands. And lie Is
a hard master, unscrupulous and merciless in
ills exactions. Hisservice Involves all that is
highest, noblest, purest and best in man. He
ruthlessly strangles aud crushes out every
spiritual yearniinr, and binds down all uprising
aspirations of the soul with the letters of
a completer subjugation.
A third class put the enemy under tribute.
They use mis worm as 1101 auusum iu j m:>
do not attempt to shun the world, with its duties,
pleasures, struct;h*. wires, utid teinptatiotis;
nor do they yield to it nnd thus become
Its obseqiou* slaves. They use the
things of the world in such a way as to make
them means to spiritual ends?helpful allies
in the struggle for "the true riches." This is
surely what the Saviour means by the injunction
of the text, "make to j ourselves friends
ot the mammon of unrighteousness."
He would have us imitate the wisdom, foreeight
ami prudence ol the unjust steward in
(he use of tin unrighteous mammon, that we
may transmute it into forms of enduring
blessedness, so employ it as to make it subservient
to t h? good of our own souls, both in
this life and the next. It is Just here that we
see the true function* ol a renewed life. It is
to exhibit amid all the activities, strifes and
temptations of life an example of unselfishness
unsullied purity, spiritual mindeduess,
and loyalty to truth and right.
To he "diligent In business" stands beside
tlie Injunction to be "fervent in spirit." One
is not less nor more a religious duty thnn the
other. The two are Inseparable in a well or
dered Christian life. -Much that Is found in
our religious literature encourages the idea
that tui-y are incompatible, but the mistake
arises Irom failure to observe certain broad
and obvious distinctions.
We need to learn that unworldliness i* not
to be had by mere separation from the world.
Its business ant! pursuits and possessions; nor
by a contemptuous disregard of the obligations
and duties which grow out of our earthly
relationships. I'nworldllness is to be in
the world but not of It, to rise above the
world in our alms and purposes?to live apart
from its tollies, vanities, temptations, sinful
maxims and practices. Saintllness Is nut a
sort of idle repose and meditative quietism,
it is a life of earnest activity in the cause of
(?od. Christ selected the yoke us the bailee ol
disci pies hip, and 1'atil's favorite symbols ol
the christian life were a warlare utul a race.
There is a placo and a use for temporal
things In making sure of the life eternal.
There has always been a tendency among
men to run to opposite extremes of error. Mecause
Komanistn has given too large a place
worldly possessions in the concerns of the
soul, Protestantism has in turn touched the
other extreme by allowing them no place at
ail. We rightly refuse to make money the direct
price of our admission to heaven?but we
may not. therclore conclude that It has 110.

become eillier helps or hindrances In spiritnal
development and growth in divine life.
They are trusts, and like all other trusts impose
obligations that reach imo eternity.
They enter Into cnaracter?they become an
inseverable part of ourselves.
We would not be understood aMirming
that these earthly possessions are the direct
course of our being saved or lost; but that
tney may and do become important factors
in the salvation or destruction of our souls
as they are wisely used or foolishly abused.
It was sin and not wealth that ruined hives.

to which Dives yielded; of teaching
him his dependence on tiod, and In turning
away his eyes and heart from earth to heaven.
The text recognizes the unrighteousness of
mammon, but proceeds at once to enjoin sueii
a wise anil prudent use of it as to transtorm
it into an eternal habitation for the soul.
The ski I Itu I seaman can make the headwind
any him forward to the very point from
which it blows. So we may transmute the
unrighteous mammon into true riches, and
"lay up treasure in heaven where moth and
rust doth not corrupt, and where thieves do
not break through nor steal."
Plant trees anywhere that they will
be useful.
Use whitewash freely around stables
and out-bouses.

It is alarming to the individual conscience
when men, women and children
are swept away by some sudden
catastrophe. And when the agency of
destruction is near one's door the alarm
is terrible. We never knew much
I about earlhnuakes till old Charleston
: was shattered. We saw men with their
encyclopedias "reading up" and enquiring
as fo the probable cause of the
same. When a lew dead forms had
been gazed upon, and the old earth
kept trembling, the panic was terrible.
But how much more concerned
should one be, when the fact is developed
that the best and brightest specimen
of our fellows are being silently
hewn down by the demon of strong
drink, at the rate of CO,000 and more,
every year. And worse still, we not
only know the fact, but permit It to
continue. We simply say, pay us ou
price, and you may continue this work
of human destructi m, This is the license
system. Our American people
have become so accustomed to bargain
and sale, that they can, ''for a consideration,"
barter in human flesh and
bones and blood?to say nothing of the
immortal spirit within the individual.
And yet men, fresh from the communion
table of their Lord, will stalk the
streets una complacently inquire if prohibition
will pay?
Oh, this wholesale destruction of human
life, ('an watake in the awful
fact? Do we know what these hundreds
of thousands of drunkard's graves
mean ? ('an we stand still long enough
for the vast army to pass in review before
us? The Hon. William Windom
in peaking of this wholesale destruction
of men, said :
"1 do not overstate it when I 9ay
that Ihe two hundred thousand saloons
in this country have been instrumenta
in destroying more human lives in the
last five years than the two millions of
armed men did during the four years

any of the implements of our improv

Overwee Yourself.
A large portion of the expense attendant
011 employing men In various industries,
is the expense of oversight.
Some men need watching; they are
ignorant and indifferent, they do
things wrongly, they loose time, spoil
stock, turn out inferior work, and demoralize
things generally, unless they
are watched by keen-eyed and comjietent
men. But it costs money to hire
first-class men, and this money must
come out ot' the wages of the men who
require theoversight.
Not only is it necessary to watch
men who are unskilled and indifferent,
but there are men who deliberately j
shirk their duties, slight and ''scamp;
their work, and it costs money to
watch them; and as small establishments
can not afford thy high-priced
men required for the oversight of such
workmen, it follows that many such
places arc closed against untrust-j

Retribution
It is easy to do what can never be
undone. It is easy by example or 1
word or deed to lead men and women 1
astray, but not 'easy, when we see our
mistake and repent, to lead them back
to the right way. Impressing this
truth upon parents, Mr. Moody said in
a recent sermon in Boston: "I remember
being engaged in conversation,
some years ago, till past, midnight
with an old man. He had been
for years wandering on the barren
mountians of sin. That night he
wanted to get back. We prayed, and
prayed, and prayed till light broke in
upon him ; and he went away rejoicing.
The next night he i-atin front of
me when I was preaching, and I think
that I never saw anyone look so sad 1
and wretched in all my life. He followed
me into the inquiry-room. 1
'What is the trouble?' I asked. 'Is
your eye off the Saviour? Have your (
doubts come back?' 4No: it is not
that,' he said. 'I did not go to busi- 1
ness, but spent all this day in visiting '
my children. They are all married '
and 111 inis cuy. i went irom nouse
t?) house, hut there was not one hut '
mocked me. It is the darkest day of
my life. I have waked up to what I <
have done. I have taken my children
into the world ; and now I cannot get
them out.'"
Boys and Men
You are hoys, now but you will soon
he men. You aie half as tall now as
you ever will be. Soon you will have
your own way to make in the world.
I)o you mean to he idle-and fretful. '
and deceive people, and give them a <
had opinion of you ? Or do you intend I
to go to work, and act bravely and 1
nobly, and do your duty, and leave a >
name behind you when you die which ?
the world will love and respect? Take <
care?now is the time! Did you ever '
notice a large tree that grew crooked, I
and was an ugly eyesore on thatac- 1
count V Perhaps it stood on the lawn 1
right in front of the porch, and you '
father would have liked very much to 1
straighten it. If was impossible to do t
so. A hundred horses could not have (
dragged it erect, and yet think of the '
time when the large tree was a small *
sapling, a child might have straighten- >
ed it then, and it would have grown <
properly, and every one would have ad- 1
mired it.
Hoys ought to grow straight, not 11
crooked. You are young now, as the "
tree was once. Begin in time, and you J
will he as straight as an arrow when
you are a man. It you are a man. It (
you wait, i? will bo too late. The way 1
to make men erreet ami noble is to 0
take them when they are hoys, uml to 1
show them that there is nothing in the
world so noble as doing!heir duty.

Liquor Drinking
Hon. (Jhnuneey M. Depew will
scarcely be accused of fanaticism on the
question of liquor drinking. Here is
his experience as stated in aspeech ofl
iiis before a company of railroad men:|
"Twenty-five years ago I knew every |
man, woman, and child in Teekskill. j
And it has been a study to me to mark:
boys who started in every grade of life j
with myself, to see what has becomeof i
them. I was up last ft?ll, and began to
count them over, and it was an instruct-1
ive exhibit. Some of them became I
Ciei'KS, inercuttiiLs,
yers and doctors. It is remarkable that!
every one offthose that drank are dead; !
not one living of my age. Barring a
few who were taken off by .sickness,
every one who proved a wreck and
wrecked his family, d.d it from rum,
and no other cause. Of those who!
were Chi istians, who were steady, in- J
dustrious. and hardworking men, whoi
were frugal and thrifty, every single!
Dneof them, without an exception,

Au Angel in Disguise.
If the wives of our employers were
to take, the trouble to inquire a little
closer into the domestic lives of the
men employed by their husbands, says
Mr. Bokin The Ladies' Home Journal,
this world would be afar brighter
one for many a hard-worked, woman
who buries her trouble iu her heart,
and wipes away the oulyoutward trace
of it with her apron. I know of au
employer whose wife interested herself '
in the lives of the people in his store
so that she ascertained the birthdays
of their wives, their children, and even
the wedding-days. It was done so
nuietlv and aosweetlv that none sus
pected her purpose. But now on each
festive day in those fifty odd families
there comes pleasant remembrance.
It is never the same, but always something
that is just needed in tba' family
at that time. Every six-month those
husbauds find a little difference in
their salary envelopes. At Thanksgiving
a spendid bird goes to each of
the houses iu the employer's name: at
Christmas-time the hand of the wife Is
visible. Now that is practical chairty. v
God only knows how many burdens
that one woman has made easier, how
many lives she has made brignter.
None of the women whose paths this
one woman has so pleasantly smoothed
has ever seen her ! To them she is
like an invisible angel of goodness,
but many are the silent prayers that go
up in those fifty homes for her gentle
consideration for others.
