A SERMON FOR SUNDAY j _ ! ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED ; "EREAD UPON THE WATERS." the Itev. Kdwar? Niles Declares Tlinl the i Opinion of the Worldly Economist is ' Not a Supreme Court Whose Decisions j Are Binding on the Christian. "* Brooklyn. X. Y.?Sunday, morning, in j tne White Church (Bush wick Avenue Re- J formed) the pastor. Rev. Edward Xiies. j preached on Bread Upon the Waters." | The text was from Kcclesiastcs xi: 1: j . ''Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou j shalt find it after many days." Mr. Xiies ; A said: The book of Eeclcsiastes is the lite re- ' view of the wisest and richest man of his day. Every statement has been tested. A voun<* man might have said the same thing with equal eloquence and convic, tion, but the impression on the mind of the elderly reader would be, 'Yes, his ad- j vice is all very well in theory, but what ; docs he know about life?"' The words of the aged Solomon arc open i to no such criticism. Our text is the first j of the short, pithy sentences with which ! the teachings of his wonderful career are j summed up. la thought lie goes back to the early j days of ids reign. Th.cn his country was ! insignificant. Jerusalem itself was a pi- | o.necr city only thirty-three years old. liisj people bore something of trie same vela- j tion to the surrounding nations as did the Boers of a dozen vcars ago to the Kuro* j pean countries. They were strong, rvlig-1 ions self contained, with few extremes <>f | poverty or wealth, who had partially en- j slaved, partially exterminated, the orig- j inal inhabitants of the land. Yet. thiv were mostly isolated on their plantations I and lacked the polish of refinement and vulture which only comes with long settlement of a country and contact with the great world. Solomon recalled how ardently he had j entered into the work of putting his subjects abreast of the times. He had widened the borders of the land until thev reached the lied Sea. There a dockvnrd was established, a fleet of ships was built and launched, marking the first ventures cf the Jews in commerce. Human nature being the same in all I ages, we can he sure ihar many a Jewish j fogy remonstrated. "What, take hardearned money, the result of so much toil in the fields, and put it in these tuos. to go i on no one knows where, to return no 0:10 j knows when, if ever': Young King, don't I lie so foolish as to throw away our money | on the sea.*' The day when these ships sailed oft in search of trade and proiit was likely made the occasion of great pageant by the Coverninent to counteract these grumblings, but as week niter week went by ami month followed month, nothing was heard of those much discussed ships. The wiseacres became ail the wiser, shook their heads more knowinglv and croaked more disconsolately. The time came, however, when off in the dim distance the watcher by the sea discerned a white speck upon the water. Looking more intently, hesaw here a ship, there another and behind still more. When near enough to be hailed all were found to be well. Their venture to countries before unknown had It-en crowned with success. As the crews with their rick burdens wended their way overland to -Jerusalem the rumors 01 the profit- of over $11,000,000 from the single voyage preceded them, i can imagine the smile of the aged Solomon | as he recollected the consternation the ; ews caused to the conservative croakers. I So evident were the benefits derived from the policy of putting out money for long periods because of the good returns in the end. that a ship building fever seized the nation. Three year voyages were undertaken and prospered, until the quaint, primitive Jewish community was fairly gorged with wealth, silver was as stones in the streets of the Capital City, magnificent 'palaces and other public buildings were erected where the rude huts had 1 I'-iIf-.i 11... i i ',(-(1 1,1 become the 1 contempt *il a 11 countries. Distinguished royal visitors traveled over water and desert to see the grandeur with tiieir own eves, to lind that it was more remarkable than depicted in even 4he most plowing stories. Stub was tiie mental vision that came before the reminiscent writers of Kcciesiastes. The eanse was for that truly phenomenal industrial revolution he put into the precept of our text. "Cast thy w bread, or thy capital, upon the waters. Invest it in some enterprise that does not bring: in an immediate result: it shall return unto you as it did uv.to me. iniiniteiy multiplied, even though it inav be niter many days." It is another way of saying. "Nothing venture, nothing have." Of course, Solomon ran many.ri-ks. Jlis! fleet might, have been shipwrecked. his J crews destroyed by the savages visited, tney were in dangrt' of losing their way forever in tho.se uncharted seas; yet. although his t yes were wide oj>cn to the j chance of loss. he didn't hesitate to act. The rule or greater economy propounded in the advice. "C.isi thy bread upon the | waters, for thou shalt find it after many j days." is good for our own age. Those j who are content to do as did their fathers j may make a living. That is all. The shift- | iess young man who lives from hand to mouth, satisfied if he barely meets his 9 bills, we regard as only less than erim- : inal. The father, with a family looking i to him for support, who tacitly assumes til at be is to be well and keep his position indefinitely, who lays up mjtiiing in the ; Punk, mah.es no investment. ;oin< no fraternal order, pays no insurance.

The agony o? pvavirs for wayward sons, straying daughters, indifferent friends are all heard, and will be answered if we keep ' on casting our heart aches, our time and . our longings upon the apparently unheeding waters. 1 How many are the temptation* to discouragement expend;, cd by the Christian ' worker.

Nothing done J for others is ever b*si. if performed for Cod and humanity with faith in results the reward will be inevitable. 1 J Hit tor men and purer women are the certain products of every teacher's spiritual venture, in casting her bread upon the , waters, l'cr the return it may sometime bring. it is ant to be a far cry to the manifestation 01 results.

The only end and aim of man. Better the toil of holds like those Than waking dreams and slothful ease." Though the recipients be unworthy of our charity, unappreciative of the value Ave attach to time, abuse our benevolence, the money we give, the hours avc use, the thoughts we devote to them prove to us J who have tried it that ''What Ave spent, avc had.

The more prayers we offer up for others, the better we know how to prav for our own needs. The mote our hearts sympathize with the pains of others the laracr will our hearts become. The more we disregard the worldly wise rule of selfishness the greater is our true prosperity. Says .[?inn 0. Holland: "Hive and spend. And be sure that Hod wiil send, For only in giving and spending. I)o you fulfill the object of His sending.'' Now we enjoy the interest. The time | will be wiien the accrued principal of our courageous investment in stock will finally come to maturity. In that great day we shall find that every cup ot cold water, everv old coat, every piece of bread, every kind word, every call on the sick, if imI polled by love, was done only incidentally to the unworthy and really to the All Worthy. We shall hear the voice of our beloved Master say. "inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of these My brethren, even the.-e least, ve have done it unto Me." Then will the truth of the old Turkish proverb be manifest: "What you give in charity in this world yon take with you after death. Do good. Throw it into the water. It the fi>h does not know it, God does." Better Than We Know How. Doing as well as we know how is ordinarily considered a pretty creditable performance. One who can honestly say that lie lias done as well as lie knows howis likely to take credit to himself for his doing; and. in passing judgment on another for his conduct, we arc inclined to commend him if he. or if we, can say that lie has done as well as he knows how. Yet just hcoe is a common mistake of irankimi. All of ;;s ought to do bettor than we know how. Doing only as well as we know how may be a lack and a failure on our part. Doing better than one knows how. doing better than one's best, is the duty and the ].radical attainment of every person wiiii wants to iill his place in the world and to help Ins follows as he suonhi. One who expects to he limited, in his work and in his endeavor*, hv the best that he has done, or by the best that others have deiiC, or by whni he can do, is practically without the noblest ambition, and certainly without the highest aspirations. To be stopped by the thought of the impossible is to he li'dd within the bounds ot the ordinary and the commonplace. All substantial progress is by doing better titan one knows how.

Mrw Clyde Liner Sent to Bottom in Boston Harbor in Collision With .Steamer Admiral Dewey. In a blinding storm which swept Boston harbor Saturday afternoon, the new Clyde Line steamer Kiowa, inward bound from Jacksonville, Fla., and Charleston, S. C., v,*as rammed and sunk by the steamer Admiral Dewey, 3f the United States Fruit Company, outward bound for Port Antonio, Jamaica, and Port Limon, Costa Rica. Captain Chichester and the entire :rew of the Kiowa, thirty men. were rescued by a tug. The Admiral Dewey sustained practically no dam age, and after laying to for the purpose of rendering possible assistance, she proceeded on her voyage. With several passengers- and a big general freight cargo, the Admiral Dewey sailed from the city shortly after 12 o'clock. Owing to the driving snow storm the Dewey was making her way out at slow speed. A few miles beyond Boston Light, tne Kiowa appeared through the clouds of mist and snow, directly ahead. Before the course could be shifted the steamers collided. Tlie Admiral Dewey struck the Kiowa a terrible blow oil the port sharp prow of the fruiter cutting in sharp prow of the fruiter cuttisg in for a considerable distance. The damaged craft immediately began to fill. A tug which was passing, ran alongside the Kiowa and took off her captain and crew. This was a most difficult task, owing to the heavy sea, and in attempting to jump from their own vessel to tha tug some of the Kiowa's men fell into tne water. They were rescued, however. The Kiowa sank shortly after the accident. She had a big cargo or lumber, cotton, naval stores, iron and general merchandise. The Kiowa lies on an even keel, with her masts and top of her smokestacks projecting above the water. Her decks are covered by eleven feet of water at low tide, and great difficulty will be experienced in lifting her. The Kiowa was the latest addition to the Clyde fleet, having been built at Philadelphia early in ,the present year. She had was a steel, two-masted three-decked vessel, 300 feet long, with 22 1'cet depth of hold; net tonnage 2.254 tons and gross tonnage 2,949. New England Storm-Swept. After one of the mildest Christmas days for many years, a wild winter's storm broke over New England Saturday, and. as usual, was accountable for a number of marine disasters Up to 7 o'clock three wrecks had been reported, while several other vessels had been in distress during the day. One of the wrecks, a dredger, which sunk within six miles of the wharves of Boston, resuTted in the loss of three men; but in the case of the other two, the sinking of the steamer Kiowa, off BostofT light, and the wreck of the barge John W. Mackey, off Watch Hill, R. I., everyone was saved. ,The storm center passed over nortuern New England during the forenoon and the snowfall throughout that section was heavy, especially in Maine and New Hampshire, while wind velocities reached more than fifty miles an hour were reported from some points. CHURCHMEN AS ROBBERS. Bank Presided Over by Priests and Prelates a Den of Crime. Advices from Prague, capital of Bohemia. state that the St. Wenzel Savings bank, now in the bankruptcy court, will probably pay no more than 5 per cent to its depositors, and the papers are loud in advising people not to mix "religion and business." The St. Wenzel bank was presided over by Monsignor Drozd. while abbots, prelates, deacons and other high ecclesiastics were on the board of directors. The trial of these gentlemen shows that $5.000.0()o or $?!.OQ0,000 were stolen during the last twenty-five years without anybody in authority noticing it. The directors admit that their hank statements were a compound of lies for twenty or more years, and that the thieving cashiers and tellers regarded every deposit as a "clean profit."

J HOME AQUARIUMS. I More in Demand Than Ever?Stock and Plants in Great Variety. j "We now sell more aquariums and | aquarium stock and plants than ever," j said a dealer in such things. "The i increase is due in large measure no : doubt to the establishment in this city of the great puolic aquarium in | Battery Park. "People go there and study the j fishes and gc\t interested in them, i and then they want an aquarium of i their own. It is a fascinating pursuit, | the care of an aquarium, and one in j which not only children, but adults may easily become deeply interested. "Dealers carry a far greater assorti ment of fishes and of aquatic plants j than they formerly did, including j tueayci iliiU UUMUCl luau ^5?ci. !

""Besides the many varieties of goldj fish, there now sold for aquarium j stock fishes of many other species, in; eluding simple little fishes and fishes j that are curious and fishes that are beautiful. A balanced aquarium in which there are fishes that we become individually interested in is something very different from a globe of goldfish.
