The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19.1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEINf SDAY. OCTOBER 18. 1899. DR. TALMAGES SERMOX. Prepared Especially for the Instruction of the Young and Old. Subject: Ledgers and Bibles?There is No War Between Keligion and Business?Kighteousness is Be-in forcement and Not a Hinderance in Life's Affairs. In tliis discourse JL>r. Taimage argues that religion may be taken into all the affairs of life and instead of it being a hinderance, as many think, it is a re-enforcement. The text is Komans xii, 11: "Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord." Industry, devoutness and Christian service?all commended in that short text. What! Is it possible that they shall be cojoined? Oh, yes! There is no war between religion and business, between ledgers and Bibles, between churches and counting houses* On the contrary, religion accelerates business, sharpens men's wits, sweet ens acerbity of disposition, fills up the blood of pblegmatics and throws more velocity into the wheels of hard work. It gives better balancing to the judgment, more strength to the will, more muscle to industry and throws into enthsiasm a more consecrated fire. You cannot in all the circle of the wo^d show me a man whose hon~ est business has been despoiled bj religion. The industrial classes are divided into three groups?producers, man ufcaturers, traders. Producers such, as farmers and miners. Manufactur ers, such as they who turn corn intc food and wool and flax into apparel Traders, such as make profit out of the transfer and exchange of all that which is produced and manufactured. A business man may belong to an;, one or all of these classes, and no'one is independent of another. When the prince imperial of Franc? fell on the Zulu battlefield because the strap fastening the stirrup t . saddle broke as he clung to it, hit comrades all escaping, but he falling under the lances of the savages, * great many blamed the empress fo> allowing her son to go forth into thabattlefield, and others blamed tb* English government for accepting the sacrifice, and others blamed th? Zulus for their* barbarism. The on* most to blame was the harness maker j who fashioned that strap of tne stir | rup out of shoddy and imperfect ma teriai, as it was found to have beer afterward. If the strap had held, tht prince imperial would probably havt been alive today. But the strap broke. No prince independent of b hirness maker. High, low, wise, ignorant, you in one occupation, I ir another, all bound together. So thai there must be one continuous line of sympathy with each others work. But whatever your vocation, if you have a multiplicity of engagements, if into your life there come losses and annoyances and pertubation as well as per centages and dividends, if you are pursued from Mondaj morning until Saturday night and from January to January by inexorable obligation and duty, then you are a business man, or you are a business womaD, and my sermon is ap propriate to your case. We are under the impression that the moll and tug of business life are a prison into which a man is thrust or that it is an unequal strife where unarmed a man goes forth to contend. I will show you this morning that bisiness life was intended of God for grand and glorious education and discipline, and if I shall be helped to say what I want say I shall rub some of the wrinkles out of your brow and unstrap seme of the burdens from I your back. I arn not talking of aD abstraction. Though never having been in business life, I know all about business men. In my first parish at Bellville, N J., ten miles from New York, a large portion of my audience was made up of New York merchants. Then I went to Syracuse, a place of immense commercial activity, and then I went to Philadelphia and lived long among the merchants of that city, than whom there are no better men od earth, and for twenty-five years I stood in my Brooklyn pulpit, Sabbath by Sabbath, preaching to audiences the rue jority of who were busi ness men and business women. It is not an abstraction of which I speak, but a reality with which I am well acquainted. In the first place, I remaik that bn bin ess life was intended as a school of energy. God gives us a certain amount of raw material out of which we are to hew our character. Our faculties are to be reset, rounded and sharpened up. Our young folks Laving graduated from school or college need a higher education, that which the rasping of everyday life alone can effect. Eaergy is wrought out | TO W( @ After you have t preparations, and ti ^ lieve yous then use ?

After a man has been in business activity ten, twenty, | thirty years, his energy is not to be j measured by weights or plummets or ladder. There is not height it canl | not scale, and there is no depth it cannot fathom, and there is no ob( stacle it cannot thrash. | Now, my brother, why did God ! put you in that school of energy? J Was it merely that you might be a i yardstick to measure cloth or a steelyard to weigh flour? Was it merely that you might be better qualified to I chaffer and higgle? No. God placed you in that school of energy that you might be developed for Christian work. If the undeveloped talents in the Christian charches of today were brought out and thoroughly harnessed, I believe the whole earth would be converted to God in a twevemonth. There are so many deep streams that are turning no mill wheels and that are harnessed to no factory bands. Now. God demands the best lamb ! 1 out of every flock. He demands the richest sheaf of every harvest. He demands the best men of every generation. A cause in which Newton, and Locke and Mansfield toiled, you and I can afford to toil in. Ob, for fewer idlers in the cause of Christ and for more Christian workers, men who shall take the same energy that from Monday morning until Saturday night they put forth for the achievement of livelihood or the gathering of a fortune and on Sabbath days put it forth to the advantage of Christ's kingdom and the bringing of men to the Lord. Dr. Duff visited'a man who had inherited a great fortune. The man said to him: "I had to be very busy for many years of my life getting my livelihood. After awhile this fortune came to me and there has been nc necessity that I toil since. There came a time when I said to myself, 'shall I now retire from business, or shall I go on and serve the Lord in my wordly occupation?'" He said, "I resolved on the latter, and I have V?oon mrtro in^nstrinna in tho cnm mercial circles than I ever was before, and since that hour I have never kept a farthing for myself. I have thought it to be a great shame if I couldn't toil as hard for the Lord as I had toiled for myself, and all the products of my factoiies and my commercial establishments to the last farthing have gone to the building of Christian institutions and sup| porting the Church of God." "Would that the same energy put forth for the world could be put forth for God. ! Would that a thousand men in these great cities who have achieved a fortune could see it their duty now to do all business for Christ and the alleviation of the world's suffering. Again, I remark that business life is a school of patience. In your everyday life how may things to annoy and disquiet? Bargains will rub. Commercial men will sometimes fail to meet their engagements. Cash book and money drawer will sometimes quarrel. Goods ordered for a special emergency will como too late cr be damaged in the transportation. P?a nn Viarm reill ctn JL CUJJIC lUtCUVIlU^ AJ vy UMA U-A 1I4U ^ ^ shopping without any intention of purchase, overturning great stocks of goods and insisting that you break the dozen. More bad debts on th( ledger. More counterfeit bills in the drawer. More debts to pay for othe] people. More meanness on the pari partners in busiuess. Annoyance after annoyance, vexation after vexa tion and loss after loss. How many men do you supposi there are in commercial life who cai say truthfully, '-In all the sales ! have ever made I have never over stated the value of goods, in all th< sales I have ever made I have neve covered up an imperfection in th fabric, of all the thousands of dol lars I have ever made I have no taken one dishonest farthing?''

But they never took one step on that pathway ~ ^ ^ ^ oatt Ui XiCil LI 1C. JLUCJ MU oaj men prayers without hearing the chink of dishonest dollars. Can read their Bible without thinking of the time ; when with a lie on their soul in the custom house they kissed the book. They can think of death and the judgment that comes after it without any flinching?that day when all charlatans and cheats and jockeys and frauds shall be doubly damned. What a school of integrity busi: ness life is! If you have ever been | tempted to let your integrity chringe before present advantages, if you have ever wakened up in some embarrassment and said: "Now I will step a little aside from the right path, and no one will know it, and I will come all right again. It is only once." That only once has ruined tens of thousands of men for this life and blasted their souls for eternity. A merchant in Liverpool got a ?5 V Bank of England note, and, he saw i some interlineations in what seemed . red ink. He finally deciphered the letters and found out that the writing had been made by a slave in Algiers .! saying in substance, "Whoever gets < i this bad note will please to inform ! my brother, John Dean, living near , j Carlisle, that I am a 6lave of the bey ! of Algiers!" The merchant sent . word, employed Government officers and found who this man was spoken of in this bank note. After awhile the man was rescued, who for eleven ; years had been a slave of the bey of Algiers. He was immediately eman, cipated, but was so worn out by hardi ship and exposure he soon after died. Oh, if some of the bank bills that come through your hands could tell i all the scenes through which they >I have passed it would be a tragedy i eclipsing any drama of Shakespeare, mightier than King Lear or Macbeth! i Plato and Aristotle were so opposed , to merchandise that they declared ? commerce to be the curse of the na. tions, and they advised that cities be built at least ten miles from the sea , coast. But you and I know that there are no more industrious or high minded men than those who J move in the world of traffic, i Some of them carry burdens heavier ! thad hods of brick, and are exposed ' to sharper things than the east wind, | and climb mountains higher than the | Alps or Himalayas, and if they are ; faithful Christ will at last say to I them: "Well done, good and faithful : servant; thou hast been faithful over j a lew tmngs,1 win mane tnee ruler j ever maDy things. Enter thou into ! the joy of thy Lord." We talk about the martyrs of the ! Piedmont valley, and the martyrs among the Scotch highlands, and the ! martyrs at Oxford. There are just ! as certainly martyrs of Wall street ! and State street, martyrs of Fulton i street and Broadway, martyers of Atlantic street and Chestnut street, going through hotter fires or having | their necks under sharper axes. > I Then it behooves ns to banish all j fretfulness from our lives, if thiseub1 ject be true. We look back to the ! time when we were at school, and we i; remember the rod, and we remember :; the hard tasks, and we complained >: grievously, but now we see it was for 3! the best. Business life is a school, : and the tasks are hard, and the chast; tisements sometimes are very gre3: vioue; but do not complain. The -j hotter the fire the better the refining. There are men before the throne of b God this day in triumph who on i! earth were cheated out of everything I but their coffin. They were sued, - they were imprisoned for debt, they e were throttled by constables with a r whole pack of wiits, they were sold e out by the sheriffs, they had to compromise with their creditors, they t had to make assignments. Their i ? e dying hours were annoyed by the ' sharp ringing of the door bell by s some impetuous creditor who thought i-, it was outrageous and impudent that a man should dare to die before he paid the last half dollar. ? I had a fiitnd who had many mise fortunes. Everything went against > him. Ho had goGd business capacity r and was of the best of morals, but he 3 was one of those men such as vou t have sometimes seen, for whom 0 PVArrtliinrr KPPma fr? crr> romrtcr Tfia li e became to tim a pi ;gue. When I heard be was dead, I said, "Good, got rid of the sheriffa!" Who are those industrious soul3 before the throne? When the question is asked, "Wi o are they ?" the angels standing on the sea of glass respond, "These are they who came out of great business trouble and had had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.'' A man arose in Fulton street prayer me-eting and said: "I wish publicly to acknowledge the goodness of God. I was in business trouble. I had money to pay, and I had no means to pay it, and I was in utter despair of all human help, and I laid this matter before ths Lord, end thi3 morining I went down among some old business friends I had not seen in many years just to mak6 a call, and one said to me. 'Why, I am so glad to see you ! Walk in. We have some money on our books due you a good while, but we didn't know where you were, and therefore not having your address we could not send it. We are very glad you have come!"' And the man standing in Fulton street prayer meeting said, "The amount they paid me was six times what I owed." You say it only happened so? You are unbelieving. God answered that man's prayer. Oh, you want business grace! Commercial ethics, business honor, laws of trade are all very good in their place, but there are times when you want something more than this world will give you. You want God. For the lack of Him some that you have known have consented to forge, and to maltreat friends, aDd to curse their enemies, and their names have been bulletined among scoundrels, and they have been ground to powder, while other men you have known have gone through the very same stress of circumstances triumphant. TM l ' "> ' xueio are men uere io-aay WDO fought the battle aud gained the victory. People come out of that man's store and they say, "Well, if them ever was a Christian trader, that is one." Integrity kept the books and waited-on the customers. Light from the eternal would flash through the show windows. Love to God and love to man presided in that storehouse. Some day people going through the street notice that | the shutters of the window are not down. The bar of that store door has not been removed. People say, "What is the matter V You go up a little closer and you see written on the card of that window, "Closed on account of the death of one of the firm." That day all through the circles of business there is talk about how a good man has gone. Boards of trade pass resolutions of sympathy and churches of Christ pray, "Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth." He has made his last bargain, he has suffered his last loss, he has ached with his last fatigue. His children will get the result of his industry, or, if through misfortune there be no dollars left, they will have an estate of prayer and Christian example, which will be everlasting. Heavenly j rewards for earthly discipline. There "the wicked cease from troubliDg and the weary are at rest." During the winter of 1897, Mr. James Reed, one of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va., struck his leg against a cake of ice in such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniments and two and a half gallons of whisky in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief until be began using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This brought almost a complete cure in a week's time and he believes that had he had not used this remedy his leg would have had to be amputated. Pain Balm is unequaled for sprains, bruises and rheumatism. For sale by J. E. Kaufmann.
