Money Cannot Buy a Real Home or True Affection or the Life of Loved One?Jay Gould and Mrs. Booth. Cape Charles, Va.?Bev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., preached today the fourth sermon in the series on the "Almighty Dollar, or the Problem of Money and the Gospel of Christ," in the Methodist church on Cobb's island. Since the first Sunday the crowds are so large the building cannot accommodate them. The text chosen was Proverbs xi, 28, "He that trusteth in his riches shall fall." * Let no man believe that money in ?*w s~ itself is an omnipotent power?that money in itself is the power that rules the world. There never was a greater blunder. There never was a sadder mistake. As a matter of fact, money in itself is the weakest Ahing ? UU ULLia C??I Ul. First?It cannot even make a gentleman. We see strutting down the streets of a great western city a man who suddenly became possessed of a fortune of $1,000,000. He purchased his paper from the newsboy on the corner, and in his grandiloquent way when the little fellow handed him jr back his change, returned it to the boy, saying, "Keep your money, sonny, keep the chang^^jj^yp^ self up, and handing back the money -?3-' "Tftto rnnv r>f?n lllUi^lillUUjr (cp?.u, j ~f nies and go and buy a book on etiquette and learn bow to be a gentleman/' Tbe possession of money does not even imply that a man is a gentleman. Second?It cannot make a home. - A man may own houses by the possession of money, but money in itself cannot build a homo. I know men who own miles of houses who do not have a home. To posseess a house is one thing, a home another thing. The poor man who believes he can buy it with money makes as grave a mistake as the millionaire who tries to construct his ideal in the palace on the crowning hilt. It is 3aid that ? an Irishman, who was so ugly that he could find nobody who would marry him in the old world, came to America to try his fortune. As he walked the streets he saw a sign which read, "Families supplied.'' He went in at the side door and asked tiie clerk 11 iamrnes were supplied. The gentleman behind the counter replied that they were. He ran his hand in his pocket, drew out his greasy wallet and began to unroll hie money. He said to the clerk, 4T will take a wife and two children." This impossible story but states in the concrete a truth so simple and ^ yet so Vrd for man to learn that the brightest dream of the soul of man cannot be had in life for money?silver, gold or bank notes. Equally impossible is it for the man of millions to build a home out of his money. On Knob hill, in San Francisco, there are magnificent palaces that cost millions whose * ? ^ lrt oro AT'ovorrAxrn L>rUttU S ? lev r> uo vTv,i^iV"*i with tangled grass?, whose doors are locked and bolted and barred. One * of them was owned by a great millionaire senator. Why this desolation now? He built it for a home. It cost millions. Simply because he walked over the threshold of that house one day behind the coffin of the only child he had in the world. As he crossed the door of his palace home he declared, "I will never cross the threshold of this house again if I live to be 100 years old!" He sent carpenters, bolted and barred and nailed the palace up, and he has prnsspd the dnnrsill since. Money is a mighty power, and yet it is the weakest thing in the world. It cannot make a man u gentleman. It cannot give-a man a home. And if a man has no home and is not a gentleman, what is he? Third?So weak is money in itself that it cannot give a man life. A policeman on the force of New York who has been a brave and faithful officer, who broke up several gangs of roughs in several quarters of the ?ity, who tramped his beat with a mmmmmmmmammommmammmmmmmaammmm I >wer.?Latest U. S. Gov't Report \ Powder TELY PURE * *- I : 9eDse of duty and of the highest service to the state, was recently left a i fortune, and a few weeks after he received his fortune?money sufficient to lift him . from poverty to I wealth aDd luxury and the things of | this world?his body was found dead j I in his room with a pistol bullet in his | brain. Why should he slay himself j i when he had been given release from i I . ? I rtl- rt'V\/YT^ TI'Anl^ IvQ rA_ JiO JLi 4(AOA) n UCU 11V Tf UUAU w AWquired uo longer to tramp the streets and brave the dangers of the storms of winter and the swelteiing suns of summer, to go on his dark errand of | arrest in the dangerous quarters of ! the city, when he might have lived j j his life of ease and luxury? Simply ; because there was a little country ' girl whom he had learned to love who died three weeks before, and he declared that life was not worth living because she had been taken from him. He had money and all its power, and life was not worth living. MONEY VERSUS WEALTH. Fourth?Money is so weak that it cannot even give a man wealth. WT8 ? | are apt to confuse wealth with | inone}\ A man may have money, but not be rich. Real riches are one j thing, money another. I heard of a j grocer who was growing rich. They I said, by way of parenthesis that he ' was so stingy and mean that he would chase a fly all around the room for Br grain of sugar. Riches are impossible under such conditions, j Such a man may accumulate money possess it?out Be The Duke of Brunswick had accumulated his treasures. He had his wealth in diamonds and gold. He had a room built whose windows : were of iron bars, whose doors were J ...Ul A ..r11 l\Avn troci > OI ll'OII, UUUUltJ I1VCICVI. iucic nuo I an opening in the solid stone wall of the room in which there was an iron r"-*^ ? tii <*?Mur?ei -were -there placed. He slept in an iron bed: stead rolled against this iron door. There was only a single window | through whose dim light the sun greeted him. He slept with two enormous pistols by his bedside and with a light always in the room. Was this man rich? Did he possess his wealth, or did his wealth possess him? As a matter of fact, he was a miserable dog chained to his treasures. I had rather be a common cur I _ ^ 1 dog and wander through the streets and highways than to be such a man shut up in a dog kennel forever. THE RUSSIANS BED. Was the Russian nobleman rich who owned his vast acres and his millions, who proudly displayed his treasures to his friends, in the pos I session of them? He took the stranger through every room in his house, showed him each art treasure, j while he wondered at their beauty and value. He took him into his bedchamber, showed him the magniheant tapestries, wonderful eastern m/\wTT/,lAua i I LLC LaJC LLZCkl > C1UUO with its quaint carving, its inlaid precious stones. The Russian fairly swelled with pride as he looked down on this bed, the laces on which were I worth their weight in gold. "But is j it not magnificent?" he asked his guest. The guest replied that it was certainly the incst wonderful bed he had ever seen. "With a sly wink the Russian replied: "But you do not suppose, man, that I sleep on top of that? I sleep under here." He lifted the covering and showed a I mean trundle bed beneath the great ! bed. You could not make a man ! like that ricli. Put him in a palace; ] give him a bed worth a million dollars to sleep in; he would not sleep in ii; he would go out and sleep with the dog. It is his nature. ? He has 1 not the capacity for riches. Wealth is not a question of arith- I ! metic merely; it is a question of : capacity, of power in the possessor, j MONEY A FICTION. Fifth?Money in itself is so I | weak that it has no intrinsic value. I Money, whether it be of gold or of ! silver or of paper, has in itself no in- j heient value. The goldbug believes | i that gold is the cure for all ills. The i silver fanatic declares that the evils j | I of the financial world are due to the I demonetization of silver. And the ' greenback dreamer declares that all we need is for government to print : the money. Now, as a matter of fact, j the man who supposes that either paper or silver or gold or coppei have in themselves any intrinsic value makes a fundamental error. Monej I in itself has no value. It is valua! ble not in itself, but for what it signifies in the community. Suppose that a millionaire turn his fortune into gold. Suppose Mr. Gould had liquidated all his posses sions in business, placed the result. $75,000,000, in his yacht and started around the world in a pleasure tour. Suppose he had been cast on a desert island, his vessel wrecked, he alone surviving, having saved his money. He piles it up in the sand; there it lies. He sits down on it and - ? 1 i 1 TT proceeds to starve to ueatn. now much is he worth as he sits oil that pile of yellow mold? He is worth nothing. He is a pauper; he is a beggar. The gold is all there. The coin is of due weight. It is not short, has not been injured in the transit; it does not tarnish in the wale**. And yet he is worth nothing. Suppose a passing vessel takes him aboard, transport him to New York with his money and again lands him in Wall street. He has his money in the vaults of the Safe Deposit company. How much now is he worth? He is worth the face value of his coin?$75,000,000. Why? Because the community gives to this metal the supposed value. Wealth is power over men. Money is wealth as it is power over men. The true value of money is a communal value. It is one that is bound up with the heart blood of the whole community. It is one that comes in and through the community. No man therefore has the right to do what he pleases with what he may possess. A man's money is not simply bis own. It belongs in one sense ?and a high sense?to the communif-o "V.-w man a. richfc tr? dr> what he pleases with what he may possess. A man only has the right to do not what he pleases, but what he ought to do. Money is power. All power is a trust. ' ? n i n? Sixth?As a matter, of fact, money is so weak that it does not touch the heart range of real life. A millionaire died the other day and was buried, and nobody cared as to where he was buried. It was a matter of no importance. As to the incidents of his death, they did not touch the heart of the people. He owned money enough to shake the financial world from ocean to ocean. ./\n r.n A n uuiau vuuu xxx juvuuvu avwmvaj who had no money, but thousands thronged to her bier and begged the privilege of looking on her dead face. For days and weeks the procession filed by the body. Day and night, an unceasing stream, thousands and hundreds cf thousands of eagar faces, looked into her face with love and with infinite tenderness. Men who had been lifted from the ditch and the gutter and clothed and in their right minds stood over the coffin and cried like children. Women . who had been abandoned to all hope and life and who had been snatched as a brand from the burning stood with tear stained faces and kissed the cold lips with passionate love. A mother passed by the bier and looked with longing eyes into the face of the dead. Those who were standing in line, impatient to see, fearful lest the body would be removed before they could have their longed for look, cried to her that she must move on. She lifted her streaming eyes to them and replied; ''Let others move on. I have the right to stay. I have the right to look into her dead face. She saved my child." Kings and princes and nobles, emperors and chiefs of the race, have been buried in pomp. Nations have done honor to their honored dead. But this earth never saw such a funeral as that which was spontaneously, was resistlessly given to Mrs. Booth, the mother of the Salvation Army. Wealth has been defined to be power over men. Money does not touch the highest realm of this power. MANHOOD OR MONEY? Seventh?A word from the lips of man, backed by manhood, can do whnt all the cold of earth cannot ac " o complish. Money is a mighty power, but manhood is a mightier one. Wealth is power over men. Let us see what can be done with money. When Napoleon was engaged in one of his great wars, you remember that the town of Ratisbon was taken. He deputed his chief marshal to do this work. Ratisbon was a walled town, maetieallv imnretrnnble. Xa J i ? i w poleon saw that it was the key to the situation. The marshal commissioned his officer to do the work. He drew up his soldiers before the town and called for volunteers. Immediately the number of men called for stepped forward. They were % : ; ordered to the charge and gallant! > made the assault. Every soldier fe r back from the walls dead. Not . man returned to tell the story < . their galla 3 assault. Again the officer called for volu] L teers, and again they stepped fo , ward, more slowly than at first, bu still a sufficient number, all that ha , ! been called for. Again they rushe i to the walls, again they made tl assault, and again every man fe , back dead. Not a living soul r< i turned to tell the story of the stru< i : gle. Again the officer called for vo unteeis. Not a man stirred. The looked upon the pile of the dead th* lay beneath the walls, and no ma would venture to make the chargt Now you may bring before that liu U1 UJL'ii Uil LUC lilUliCJ uu I, mo caibi aud you may offer it to them if the will make the charge, aud there coul not be piled before them mone enough to induce those soldiers t charge over that pyramid of the dea< over those walls. But you remember what happenec The marshal himself, seeing thes two fruitless charges and seeing th failure of the officer to enlist for th third assault, rushed himself befor the line, and snatching the standari from the standard bearer, turning t the men, he said to them with hi face flashing with the electric fire o his great personality, "Soldiers, will show you that a marshal o France was once 'a grenadier! Snatching a scaling ladder in th other hand, he rushed toward th walls. Instantly a hundred brav men had leaped from the ranks snatching the ladder from his hand o linvvrinrr fli UJJU txit* aiuuuaiu, fcuu uunjiup vu marshal to the rear with a shou they rushed to the walls, scaled then successfully and took the town wit] scarcely the loss of a single life! Wealth is power over men?powe; to command men. Money may o not signify this power. There ar hours irt the lives of men that it ha no powter to command^_ * * ' " 5,i?i|fEIUs?TIAN A-i'D BRUTE WAjfcT^ Let u> be sure that no Christia: can engage in the modern brute wa of money in itself. That struggl and all that it signifies I would ai raign and impeach in the name c the widow and the orphan; in th name of the hungry, and the horn* less, and the despairing; in the nam of the weak, and the downtroddei and the oppressed; in the name c your potter's field and its clustering institutions. Christianity mean weakness ruling strength. Th work of the Christian is not to see money for itself, of itself. The worl may be mad in its struggle fo money in itself. Men may forge humanity in that struggle. It ma be impossible for the Christia today to convince the world that th wona is wrong, it may oe nupot sible for us to revolutionize at one the methods of a social organizatio which makes the seeking of mone; in itself the end and aim. of life. THE DIVINE ORATORIO. However this may be, it is tin duty of the Christian to live his lift to play his part, to sing his owi song, whatever be the chaos, the con fusion, the disorder about him. Ii thus playing his own part he wil bring the world at last into harmonj just as that singer in the choi brought order out of disorder, hai mony out of discord. A great rnusi i ? _ .1 u o..? Clan nappemng in a cuua-u uue ouu day found the choir in discord. H stopped his ears to keep out the din and through the discord caught th single note of a sweet soprano voic in that choir, singing the song ii perfect tune. She did not attemp to drown the voices of the others either those of the choir out of tun or the congregation that floundere< helplessly in the effort to follow She simply sang her own part, ii lier own time, m ner own way. an was singing it to a leader unliear< by others. She was keeping time t the harmony of her own soul. So struck was he by the weir< effect of this voice, singing in th midst of the din and roar, that h removed his hand from his car i listen. Sweeter and sweeter grei the voice until presently one of thos in the choir nearest caught the not from her and joined in perfect (inn In a few moments the whole choi were in tune and this voice leading and then the congregation were i vkPvfWt harmonv. and then the ?*rca ' ' ?-? church building was Hooded with gloiious melody that swept ever soul resistless power. So the Christian is called upon t play his part. So he is called u;?o to sing his divine oratorio of th ages. The time comes to every ma when lie must enoose once in 1111 The end of life it must be?self c sacrifice, dirt or diamonds, worms c immortality.

'eidmont Headlight ^ We carefully read the State papers epreseting both political factions, nd there is cot a shadow of doubt 11 our mind that the people's movelent is stronger today than ever, and ext year the farmers will elect their icket by a larger majority than in . 892. The Antis have practically ived up the fight, and it is not probble that they will put out any State icket at the coming contest, but rely n Reformers quarrelling among bemselves and splitting up. It was uce their intention to steal a march n the farmers by putting a bogus T?pfr>rm'' tiolrpf. in fViA fifdd V?n? aeir scheme was exposed and they iild in this. They will now center aeir entire strength on returning enator Butler, and hope with the acking that President Cleveland will ive them to be able to elect enough lembers of the Legislature to acDmplish this end. There is no deying the fact that the whole power f the Administration is behind Sentor Butler, for Cleveland had rather ave old Satan in the Senate than len Tillman of South Carolina. We ^ ?e that Senator Butler has not only een given the privilege of naming veiy Federal appointment, but he is pen getting positions for many of is constituents on the street railway i Washington. But Grover Cleveland cannot buy p and corrupt the people of outh Carolina as his henchman id those Chicago delegates. He lay secure the influence of a few so died leaders by the gift of patronge, but the unperchasable voters of ur State, when they see a man reudiating the principles for which ley are battling and consorting with i_ JC puiiLiv-iti ciicLLiics ui i/ue people, ill spurn his counsel and leadership, fall street ruay buy up individuals, ut neither can those gold kings or rrover Cleveland buy the people, he Reform ranks are fast getting linned of renegades and time serf's, and those who have left have een weighed in the balances and >und as true as steel. Let our people just keep up the ck they are now making, and don't ield an inch. Every hour they are etting better educated in regard to le great issues of the day, and we ave no fear that they will ever falter c turn back. "We have our foes on le run, and must keep them so.
