THE PULPIT.
A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
DR. CUFITIS LEE LAWS.
' Subject: Christianity and Business.
Brooklyn, N. Y.?The Rev. Dr.
Curtis Lee Laws, in the Greene Avenue
Baptist Church, preached on
"Christianity and Business." The
text was from Deuteronomy 8:18:
"Thou shalt remember the Lord thy
God, for it is He that giveth thee
power to get wealth." Dr. Laws said:
When a man becomes a Christian
he does not sever his relations to the
world in which he lives. He is given
to Christ by the Father as a personal
| and perpetual possession, but instead
j of translating him, Christ sends him
I back into the very world from which

I the Father: "As Thou hast sent Me
i into the world, even so have I also
sent them into the world." But when
Christ sends the saved man back into
the world, He sends him back as a
new man. "They are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world." The
Christian is in the world, but in the
world with a new motive, a new purpose
and a new power. Our Master
well knew that it would be difficult
for His disciples to be in the world
without being of the world, and so He
prayed: "I pray not that Thou
Bhouldst take them out of the world,
but that Thou shouldst keep them
from evil." From the beginning,
therefore, the relation of the Christian
to the affairs of life has been a
problem worthy of the most serious

fanatics who felt that It was below
the dignity of a Christian to enter the
secular pursuits in which they had
formerly been engaged. They gave
up their business and brought discredit
upon their profession by the
vagaries of their other worldism. The
Apostle Paul tried to correct this
abuse in his second letter to the Thessalonians.
In his first epistle, in view
of the second coming of Christ, he
had urged the people to separate
themselves from the world. Misinterpreting
his purpose, they had given
up their regular employments, and
had gotten into mischief. In the second
epistle the apostle says: "For we
hear that there are some which walk
among you disorderly, working not at
all but spending their time as busybodies.
Now, them that are such we
command and exhort by our Lord
Jesus Christ, that with quietness they

yyi/ijy auu cai a iucii unu uiv.uu.
The greatest problem for the Christian
man Is to adjust himself to the
callings and pursuits of this life, that
he may best serve God, his fellow men
and the highest interests of his own
soul. Instead of translating us to
glory at our conversion, God leaves
us here that we may perfect personal
holiness, working out our own salvation
with fear and trembling, and
that we may win the world to our
new-found King. These are the two
functions of the Christian. It is the
will of God for His people to engage
in the ordinary vocations of this
world, that they may earn an honest
living and at the same time show
forth to the world the saving and
keeping power of Jesus Christ.
Though it is the will of God for His
neonle to eneage in the business of
this world, it can be readily sees that
there are certain limitations which
arise from our relations to God.
But, again, the Christian man can
engage in no business" which will
harm his fellow men, whom he has
been sent to win to Christ. If you
are in a business which is honest and
legitimate, others will share with you
the benefit of that business. If your
gain means loss to others, then your
business is not the business in which a
Christian man can engage. If you
cannot conduct this business yourself,
you cannot own stock in it and
share in the profits of it without bartering
your soul for gold. If you
can't conduct the business yourself,
you cannot rent your property for the
conduct of such a business without
adding hypocrisy to your other sins.
May God have mercy on the hypocrites
who will not soil their hands by
engaging in a wicked business, but
who will stuff their pockets full of the
dirty money received as dividends or
rent from the conduct of this same
wicked business.
Note now some of the incentives to
business activity. "Thou shalt remember
the Lord thy God, for He has
given thee power to get wealth." The
money-making gift is from God. The
apostle urges us to be diligent in business,
fervent in spirit, serving the
Lord. God has no patience with indolence
and sloth. All through the
Bible the stamp of God's approval is
put upon industry, while His curse
ever rests upon idleness. It is Godlike
to work. Our Lord said, "The
Father worketh hitherto and I work."
There is no place in God's economy
for the idler. He cumbers the
ground.
Business activity brings wealth,
and this is an incentive which ought
to appeal to the generation in which
we are living. Wealth ought to be
desired by every man, because wealth
is a mighty factor in the world in
which we live.
Think of what wealth can do for
the individual. It can give opportunity
to acquire high and noble
tastes. It can give leisure for study
and research. These in turn will
r-ause the mind to grow stronger and
the character to grow nobler. Wealth
can purchase length of days, and it
can secure to us the atmosphere in
which human love can blossom and
bear fruit to perfoction.
Think of what wealth can do for
the family. It can surround our
loved ones with books and paintings
and statuary. It can provide the
highest culture for our children. Ii

hospitality and to make our homes
the centre of a delightful and ennobliug
religious, social and intellectual
circle.
Think of what wealth can do for
society. It can lift up those shattered
and maimed victims of vice and poverty.
It can cleanse the augean sables.
It can send the brightness of
day into the loathsome, fetid haunts
of darkness. It can lay out and beautify
parks. It can establish and perpetuate
universities and libraries. It
can support artists and scientists.that
they may devote their time to creating
the beautiful and the useful. It
can set the spindles and wheels of

the poor the chance to earn an honest
living, that self-respect may not
be lost by receiving charity. Oh, the
value of wealth to society!
Think of what wealth can do for
the church. The cause of Christ is
languishing all over the world because
there is not money sufficient to
carry on Christ's work to the glory of
rirwl Hnv l?nol 1
VWU. V?I iv^ai v-il III ill C DUUVi
ing because of poor equipment and
the lack of workers who can devote
their whole time to ilio cause. Our
Christian colleges, orphanages and
hospitals could doublo their efficiency
If they had more money. Our nils
slonary societies are all poverty- '
stricken. The missionary force in
the great cities, on the frontiers and
in heathen lands could all be doubled I
in twelve months if we had sufficient
means. This is true of all Christian
denominations. May God prosper the
people and then make them willing to (
lay their gold at His feet!
Business men, I exhort you in the
name of the King to be diligent and
self-denying and frugal that success
may crown your efforts; for no one
can estimate the good that your
wealth can do to yourself, to your \
family, to society, and to the kingdom j
of God in the world.
Let us now consider the perils of '
business success.
I have exhorted you to fidelity,

life. I have told you of the glory
which comes with wealth, but I would !
he false to your highest interests if !
I did not hold up before you some of J
the awful perils which confront the
man who makes a great success in :
business.
"What shall it profit a man if he
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul?" No man can gain the whole '
, world, or a millionth part of the '
world, but if he gained the whole of !
it at the cost of his soul it would be a 1
calamitous bargain. The text means '
simply that in the effort to gain j
wealth many forfeit their own souls. !
The temptation is to neglect the higher
for the lower, to give up the spir
itual for the temporal, to give up the '
unseen for the seen. How pitiful the
thought that men spend a lifetime in J
the vain effort to corral the world and
find themselves at last without a soul.
What does it mean by losing one's
. soul? The expression is not eqnlva- 1
lenfr to being condemned, though of J
coursS it leads to perdition. The soul
here spoken of by Jesus means the
faculty in man which apprehends God
and goodness. Jesus says that the
man who pays too much attention to
money getting is apt to lose the fac- !
ulty by which he apprehends God and
spiritual things. He loses the faculty J
because he refuses to use it. His ear
is dull to the voice of God. His eye '
is clouded so that he cannot see the
beauty of God, and by and by through ;
a process of deterioration death comes \
and the faculty is lost. Oh, men, do
not lose your souls! Keep your ear ]
i open to the voice of God. Keep your
heart attuned to the will of God; but alas,
alas! some before me have almost
lost their souls. In seeking a 1
good thing they are giving up the 1
best thing.
Jesus said: "It is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a !
needle than for a rich man to enter 1
into the kingdom of God," and, "How
hardly shall a rich man enter the
kingdom of heaven." There are many 1
perils about the gaining of wealth 1
i it _ * ? Ji rrf _ _11 ;
ana me using 01 11. we nave cin
seen the influence of wealth upon 1
character. Too often it makes the
humble man proud, the generous man '
stingy, the charitable man suspicious,
and the honest man dishonest. Some- (
times the man who makes the money !
cscapes the perils, but succeediug gen- 1
orations are almost inevitably cursed
by the wealth which they inherited. 1
The Master knew human nature per- !
factly, and so He said, "How hardly 1
shall a rich man enter into the kingdom
of heaven." There is one way 1
to escape from these perils, and I
commend it to the rich, to those who 1
would be rich, and to all Christian
business men alike. Write the words
of my text in the front of your ledgers i
and on the tablets of your hearts:
"Thou shalt remember the Lord thy '>
God, for it is He that giveth thee
power to get wealth."
Unanswered Prayer.
An unanswered prayer Is no proof
of an unhearing God. There may be 1
reasons in the great purposes of our
heavenly Father why a petition may '
fail of a direct answer. The creature
may err, not understanding the will 1
of God; but the Creator cannot err. '
As manv a child of God has looked
back over his life he has seen where |
the goodness and benign wisdom of
God has been manifested in with
holding the things asked for.
But if the direct answer to the petition
has been withheld wc believe
that in some way there will come a
blessing because of it, and that no
earnest, faithful prayer is ever lost to
the suppliant. "It may not be my
way; it may not be thy way; but yet i
in His own way the answer will j
come. It may be years in coming; it i
may be in some wholly unexpected
way, through sonie channel we never
dreamed of, and which at the time
of the prayer wo knew nothing of; i
but it will come to us with blessing.
Indeed, we in our obtuseness may
be living in the very atmosphere of
answered prayer and not be aware of
it. If the answer does not come in

concludes with this statement: "Ko

and treatment are little understood.
As a matter of fact, the commonly
accepted expression of madness in a
dog is often misleading. The real
? mad dog does not shun water, as It
, is said. On the contrary, mad dogs
often rush to the water and drink
eagerly, if they are able to swallow.

What, then, are the indications of

closest attention is a distinct and unaccountable
change in the dog's dis?
