Subject: "Profit and Loss."
f f .
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the
Irving Square Presbyterian Church
on the theme, "Profit and Loss," the
Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took
\ V as his text Mark s:3t>. \ror wnai.
)f doth it profit a man to gain the whole
world and forfeit his life." He said: 1
Jesus . draws the picture with
strength and in a startling manner, j
What doth it profit a man if, in the
end, he shall have gained control
over the sum total of the material
things in the universe and have for..
feited his soul life with God? "The
question is between that life which
consists mainly in having and that
which consists in being." The question
is whether or no our efforts
shall tend to self-aggrandizement or
to soul culture. Shall we devote our
f larger and finer energies to the attainment
of possessions which are of
use this world alone or to the enlargement
of our spiritual powers?
The difference is between getting

. reer is given over to getting things is
measured as a success according to
the material wealth he has acquired.
But the man who is a "growing man"
is marked by his richness in grace,
a goodness and godliness.
\ There is in our time a most commendable
spirit abroad in the hearts
of our people leading them to seek
the amelioration and upliftment of
the conditions of life about us. There
is an earnest desire among men of
purpose everywhere to make the
most out of life. We have small pa>tien$e
with the shirk and are getting
to, have less with the business slave.
' We read of the possibilities of cheap
power in its relation to economic af'
fairs and millions of money transform
Niagara into electricity ahd
rapid transit. Our hearts are appalled
at the ignorance of thousands
of men here in America and we build
Vw. schools. We are told that in order
to a successful social system the
worker must have fair hours and a
/"" good wage. The luxuries of yesterday
axe the necessities, and inexpensive,
too, of to-day. Our millionaires
have gold galore for charities and
clubs, and men in all grades of so?
ciety put more money into amusements
than ever before. All this is
? well in its way and place. Social
3 conditions should be bettered and the
standard of life raised. No man
should waste any of his talents, nor j
should he give nndue attention to
;' , any one to the detriment of the rest.
V , The latent wealth of the world should I
be made productive. No man should
*'. be'sent out into the battle of life
mentally unprepared. Each member
of this State deserves and should be
enabled to acquire sufficient physical
V endurance to fit him for the fight.
The man who sells his labor must receive
a fair wage and decent opportunity
for enjoyment and for the culture
of other than^his "'business nature."
We cannot have too many
charitable Institutions to meet real
need, nor can we do other than rejoice
over the wealth that lies at our
- hands. , All of these things are good,
-m all axe necessary, each /when used
"projlprly willibe found, to be a means
to the betterment of thisv world and
life.
? But in our endeavor to utilize the
possibilities of the present and mate *
rial life there lies the danger to forget
the immortal and spiritual exist.
ence of the soul. Education at the
State's expense Is a cure for many
social ills and a salve for many an
economic sore. Money may and does
bring happiness to the hearts of all
' who, righteously, may possess it. No
man can deny the value of physical
culture in the cure of many bodily
ailments and In strengthening the
constitution. Fair pay for a fair
day's work is only just. None of us
begrudges the man of millions except
we are aware he has robbed us. But
brain muscle and morality are not
necessarily synonymous. Some of
the most dissolute men the world
has ever harbored have been the
mightiest in intellect. The antics
and excesses of not a few college
men but prove that book knowledge
and purity oMife are not one. Money

men; how soon the greed for it will
stifle all that is noble in its lovers.
The size and* development of ypur upper
right arm is in no way an indication
of the strength of soul you possess
nor is it a substitute for it.
Bulk of purse, brawn of muscle,
depth of learning and a fine mentality
are both commendable and desirable
if so be they are righteously acquired,
but the acquisition of all
these things is as nothing if so be a
man. has forfeited his soul life for
them.
To-day we train our youth for
business or profession?that is to
say, for careers of economic usefulfk
ness. Our main aim in education is
to fit men to achieve material success.
.We demand that our schools
shall turn out men who are able to
take care of themselves. We pay
but scant attention to individuality
and to the leanings and peculiarities
of personality. Any one here can
state, as well as I,-how much moral
training the schools 'give our youth.
In our fear that the Bible in the
school may savor of denominationalism
we leave, often, a free field for the
devil. From earliest youth till the
?hild is a man dependent upon his
awn resources the. continual cry is,
. " lor him to achieve success. Fortunate,
indeed, is the man who, by wise
< direction and personal preference, is
enabled to choose the way that leads
to real and lasting success. But the
pity is that too many of us spell suo
cess in the terms of material achievement.
Too few are they who know
that success is a matter not so much
of getting as of being; that it is mo~e
a matter of soul culture than of material
gain. Success is measured not
by the amount you have, but by what
you amount to.

proper material success. The world
owes a debt it never can repay to the
men of money, the masterful mechanics,
the learned lawyers, the erudite
doctors, the brainy business men, the
tireless teachers and toilers and leaders
who have made possible and apparent
the civilisation w*e now enjoy.
I am the last man to deny the value
and advantage, $ye, the necessity, of
all manner of human development.
But what shall it profit hs^ individually
or socially, if, surpassing Greece
for wisdom, the Romans for wealth,
the arts of France, the metaphysical

sessions of Russia, the comftierci&l
I power of our English cousins, we
shall attain material success at the
expense of our soul's- life? "For
what doth it profit a man to gain the
whole sum total of material things
and have forfeited his soul life within
God?"
The highest measure of success is
the permanency of achieved results.
The test of service is in the worthiness
of the labors to which our efforts
have been applied. If sound money
is more important than sound morals
then the teacher of political economy
is of more value to the world than
the teacher of ethics, that is to say,
of the science of right living. If
fleets are of more consequence than
spiritually minded and Christ-moved
| men, then Morgan with his merl
chant marine is mightier than Moody
with his Bible. If cash counterbalj
ances character then let us relegfte
the Christ life to its proper, that is
to say, th? second, place in our
scheme of living. If policy is better
than principle and gain at any cost
superior to righteousness, then let
! us hoist the Jolly Roger to the forepeak
of the ship of State and declare
ourselves the moral pirates that
we are. But I am persuaded that we
do not value the material more than
manhood. I am sure that fundamental
we do believe that princin,i
TMir-itir ?i?rt crr?rtlinpss are more of
pUiiVJ UUV4 ^
account than all else in life. We are
all conscious of the beauty, the nobility,
the transcendent importance
of the culture of the soul. There is
not a man, or but few, men anywhere
but' who will admit at once and without
discussion that to trade the soul's
life for material success is to strike
a poor bargain. I have yet to meet
the thinking man, whose opinions are
worth a snap of my finger, who sustains
any other proposition save that
a godly life is the only sure-foundation
of society and the only guarantee
of the permanency and efficiency of
success.
Believing these latter truths to be
divine why, then, do we hesitate to
connote logic with action? Why do
we refrain to parallel our academic
conclusions with definite effort. Why
do we refuse consistency a .hearing j
and continue to serve the god of material
success?
My friends, the whole question of
service and success is a matter of
getting or being, of self-aggrandizement
or of self-realization and soul
culture. Getting is as natural as
breathing. But we breathe not for
the sake of breathing, but in order
to live. Getting, the acquirement of
temporal wealth, may be a means to
the culture of. our souls. ' When so
used riches are a blessing. That man
is wisest who makes all things in this
life tend toward his soul's development.
Let us teach our youth that
cmwth in arodliness is the prime
function, the principal task of - human
endeavor. Let us tell our young
men and our maidens that it is best
to serve God and to grow constantly
into the graces and beauties of
Christlikeness. Let us send home to
the young and impressionable hearts
of our boys and our girls the changeless
and eternal truth that it can
never profit a man to gain the whole
world and lose his own life within j
God. Then shall we have inculcated j
the true philosophy of life and hast- j
ened the coming of the kingdom of j
the God of Christ our Lord. .
Worry and Fear Removed.
It is not religion, but the lack 01
it that makes people unhappy. Yet
how strangely and how widely the
opposite view prevails. ' There are
many who think of religion not only
as a galling drudgery, but as the
surest source of moroseness, melancholy
and unhappiness of life. Their
idea is that religion is a system of
suffering to which many people are
willing to submit here in order that
they may not suffer hereafter?that
religion's only happiness is in the
future, its rewards after death. Instead,
the real fact is thp.t religion is
a thing of present joy and^ever continuing
blessedness. It is'the gladdest,
happiest thing in q.11 this world.
"Her ways are ways of pleasantness I
and all her paths are peace."
It is religion that gives us the
bright things in life and sin the dark
things, and not vice versa. Religion
goes down to the deepest springs''o:'
our mental and spiritual well-being.
It brings untQld measures of peace
and joy. It takes the sting out of
the past and it takes the worry out
of the present. It takes the fear out
of the future.?The Rev. G. B. F.
Hallock, D. D.
How to Learn Love.
It is true that love cannot be
.forced, that it cannot be made to or- 1
deirthat we cannot love because we j
ought or even because we want. But <
we can bring ourselves into the pres- {
ence of the lovable. We can enter
into friendship through the door of
discipleship. We can learn love
through service.?Hugh Black.
What Could Hinder?
If man's device can produce pure
white paper from filthy rags, what
should hinder God to raise from the
dead this vile body and fashion it
like the glorious body of Christ??
Gotthold.
A man's knowledge of doctrine
counts for nothing if he neglects
duty.
