Lamentations iii, 39, “Wherefore doth
a living man complain?”
A cheerful interrogatory in the most
melancholy book of the Bible! Jere
miah wrote so many sad things that wo
have a word named after him, and
when anything is surcharged with grief
and complaint we call it a jeremiad.
But in my text Jeremiah, as by a sud
den jolt, wakens us to a thankful spirit.
Our blessings are so much more nu
merous than our deserts that he is sur
prised that anybody should ever find
faul Having life and with it a thou
sand blessings it ought to hush into !
perpet ^ silence everything like eriti- 1
cism ol the dealings of G<xL “Where- 1
fore doth a living man complain?”
While everything in our national
finances is brightening, for the last few
years the land has been set to the tune
of "Nat ni.” There has been hero and
there a < leerful soloist, but the grand
chorus has been ono of lamentation, ac
companied by dirges over protdrated
commerce silent manufactories, unem
ployed mechanism, and all those disor
ders described by th-3 two short words,
“hard tim's. ” The fact is that we have
been paying for the bloody luxury of
war more than 80 years ago. There
were great national ditlereuees, and we
had not euc igh Christian character to
settle them by arbitration and treaty,
and so we went into battle, expending
life and treasure and well nigh swamp
ing the national finances, and north and
south, east and west, have ever since
been paying 'or those four years’ in
dulgence in barbarism.
But the time has come when this de
pression ought to end—yea, when it
will end if the people are willing to
do two or three things by way of finan
cial medicament, for the people as well
as congress must join in the work of
recuperation. The best political econo
mists tell us that there is no good reason
for continued prostration. Plenty of
money awaiting investment. The na
tional health with never so strong an
arm or so clear a brain. Yet we go on
groaning, groaning, groaning, us though
God had put this nation upon gruel and
allowed us but oue decent breakfast in
six months. The fact is the habit of
complaining has become chronic in this
country, and aft* r all these years of
whimper and wailing and objurgation
we uw under such a momentum of sniv
el thlit we cannot stop.
, A A Pica For Cliecrfulnetw.
There are three prescriptions by which
I believe that our individual and na
tional finances may he cured of their
present depression. The first is cheerful
conversation and behavior. I have no
ticed that the people who are most vo
ciferous against the day in which we
live are those who are in comfortable
cireumstam ( s. I have made inquiry of
those p< rsous who are violent in their
jeremiads against these times, and I
have asked them, "Now, after all, are
you net making u living?” After some
hesitation and coughing and clearing
their throat three or four times they
say stammeringly, "Y-e-s. ” t-o that
with a great multitude of people it is
not a question of getting a livelihood,
but they are 'dissatisfied because they
cannot make as much money as they
would like to make. They have only
$2,<M) in the bank, where they would
like to have ij-l,000. They can clear in
a year only if.',000, wh< n they would like
to clear if]0,000, or tilings come out
just even. Gr in their trade they get $3
u day when they wish they could make
$4 or $3. "Oh, ” says some one, "are
you not aware of the fact that there is a
great population out of employment,
and there are hundreds of the good fam
ilies of this country who are at their
wits’ end, not knowing which way to
turn?” Yes, I know it better than any
man in private life can know that sad
fact, for it comes constantly to my eyo
and ear, but who is responsible for this
state of tilings?
Much of that responsibility I put
upon m< n in comfortable circumstances
who by an everlasting growling keep
public confidence depressed and new en
terprises from starting out and new
bouses from being built. You know
very well that one despondent man can
talk 50 men into despondency, while oue
cheerful physician can wake up into ex
hilaration a whole asylum of hypochon
driacs. It is no kindness to the poor or
the unemployed for yon to join in this
deploration. If you have not the wit
and the common sense to think of some
thing cheerful to say, then keep silent.
There is no man that cun bo independ
ent cf depressed conversation. The
medical journals are ever illusi rating
it. I was reading of live men who re
solved that they would make an ex
periment and see what they could do
in the way of depressing a stout,
healthy man, and they resolved to meet
him at different points in his journey,
and us lie stepped out from his house in
the morning in robust health one of
the five men met him and said: “Why,
you look very sick today. What is tho
matter?” He said: "I am in excellent
health. There is nothing the matter.”
Hut, passing down tho street, he began
^o examine his symptoms, and tho sec-
' end of the five men met him and said,
“Why, how bad you do look!” “Well,”
he replied, “I don’t feel very welL”
After awhile the third man met him,
and the fourth man met him, and the
fifth man came up and said: "Why,
you loo^ as if you had had the typhoid
fever for six weeks. What is the mat
ter witluvou?” And the man against
whom the stratagem had been laid
wi at home and died. Ami if you meet
a man with perpetual talk about hard
times and bankruptcy and dreadful
winter* that are to come you break
dow n his courage. A few autumns ago,
as the winter was comng on, people
said: “Wo shall have a terrible winter.
Tho poor will bo frozen out this win-
it r. ” There was something in the largo
!tpre of acorns that tho squirrels had
fathered and Mrmethiug in tho phases
of tho moon and something in other
portents that made you certain we were
going to have a hard winter. Winter
came. It was the milde st one within
rny memory and within yours. All that
winter long I do not think there was
an icicle that hung through the day
from the eaves of the hou.‘.e. So you
prophesied falsely. Last winter was
coming, and the people said: “We shall
have unparalleled suffering among the
poor. It will be a dreadful winter.”
Sure enough, it was a cold winter, but
there were more large hearted parities
than ever before poured out on coun
try, better provision made for the poor.
So that there have been scores of win
ters when the poor hud a harder time
than they did last winter. Weather
prophets say we will have frosts this
Kumaicr which will kill the harvests.
Now, let mo tell you, you have lied
twice about the weather, and I believe
you are lying this time.
Some people are so overborne with
tho dolorousuess cf the times that they
say we shall have communistic outrages
in this country such as they had in
Franco. I do not believe it. The parallel
do* s not run. They have no Sabbath,
no Bible, no God in France. Wo have
until his selfishness cringes and twists
and cowers under it, ho will get not
only spiritual profit, hut ho will get
paid hack in hard cash or inconvertible
securities. We often see men who arc
tight fisted who Reem to pet along with
their investments very profitably, not
withstanding all their parsimony. But
wait. Suddenly in that man’s history
everything goes wrong. His health
fails, or his reason is dethroned, or a
domestic curse smites him, or a mid
night shadow of some kind orops upon
his soul and upon his business. What
is the matter? God is punishing him
for his small hrartedness. He tried to
cheat God, and God worsted him. So
that one of the recipes for the cure of
individual and national finances is
more generosity. Where you bestowed
$1 on the cause of Christ give
$2. God loves to be trusted, aud he is
very apt to trust back again. He says:
“That man knows how to handle
money. He shall have more money to
handle.” Aud very scon the property
that was on the market for a great
while gets a purchaser, aud tho bond
that was not worth more than 60 cents
on a dollar goes to par, aud the opening
of a new street doubles the value of his
house, or in any way of a million God
blesses him.
Christian Generoulty.
Once the man finds out that secret
and he goes on to fortune. There are
men whom I have known who for ten
years have been trying to pay God
11 ,000. They have never been able to
get it paid, for just as they were taking
out from oue fold of their pocketbook a
bill mysteriously somehow in some
other fold of their pocketbook there
all these defenses for our American peo- i came a larger bill. You toll me that
t
pic, ar.d public epuhen is such that if
the people in this country attempt a
cutthroat expedition they will land in
hfing Sing or from the gallowt go up on
tight rope. 1 do not believe tho people
of this country will ever commit out
rages aud riot and murder for the sake
cf getting bread. But u!l this lugubrcs-
ity of tone and face* keeps people tie.v.n.
Now I will make a contract. If tho peo
ple of the United States for one week
will talk cheerfully, I will open all the
manufactories, 1 will give employment
to all the unoccupied men aud women,
I will make a lively market for your
real estate that is eating you up with
tuxes, I will ship the long processions
on the way to the poor house aud the
penitentiary and I will spread a plenti
ful table from Maine to California and
from Oregon to Sandy Hook, and the
whole l**nd shall earr,] and thunder with
national jubilee. But says some one, "I
will take that contract, but we can’t
affect the whole nation. ” My hearers
aud readers, representing as you do all
professions, all trades and all occupa
tions, if you should resolve never again
to utter a dolorous word about the mon
ey markets, but by manner and by voice
and by wit aud caricature and, above-
all, by faith in God to try to scatter
this national gloom, do you not believe
tho influence would be instantaneous
and widespread? The effect would be
felt around the world. For God’s sake
and for tli** sake of the poor un-d for the
sake of the employed quit growling.
Depend upon it, if you men in comfort
able circumstances do not stop com
plaining, God will blast your harvests
and see how you will get along without
a corn crop, and he will sweep you w ith
floods, and he will devour you with
grasshoppers, aud he will burn your
city. If you men in comfortable circum
stances keep on complaining, God will
give you s( mething to complain about.
Mark that!
The lie si Investment.
The second prescription for the alle
viation of financial di.strt sses is proper
Christian investment. God demands of
every individual state and nation a cer
tain proportion of their income. We are
parsimonious. W’e keep back Iroui God
thit which belongs to bim, and when
we keep hack anything from God lie
takes what we keep Luck, aud lie takes
more. Ho takes it by storm, by sick
ness, by bankruptcy, by any ono of tee
10,000 ways which he can employ.
The reason many cf you are cramped in
business is because you have never
learned the lesson of Christian gener
osity. You employ uu agent. You give
him a reasonable salary, aud, lo, you
find out that In* is appropriating your
funds, besides the salary. What do you
do? Discharge him. Well, we are God’s
agents. He puts in our hands certain
moneys. Part is to be ours, part is to be
his. Suppose we take all, what then?
lie will discharge us. He will turn us
over to finam ial disastirs and take tho
trust away from us. Tho reason that
great multitudes are not prospered in
business is simply because they have
been withholding from God that which
belongs to him. The rule is, give aud
you will receive, administer liberally
and you shall have more to administer.
I am in full sympathy with the man who
was to be baptized by immersion, and
some one said, "You had bettor leave
your pocketbook out; it will get wet. ”
"No,” said he; "I want to go down
under the wave with everything. I
want to consecrate my property and all
to God. ” And so he was baptized. WTiat
we wifit in this country is more bap
tized pocketbooks.
I hud a relative whose business
seemed to be failing. Here a loss, and
there a loss, aud everything was bother
ing, perplexing and annoying him. lie
sat down oue day and said: "God must
have a controversy with me about aome-
thing. I believe I haven’t given enough
to the cause of Christ. ” And there and
then be tcok out his checkbook and
wrote a large check for a missionary so
ciety. Ho told me: "That was tho turn
ing point in my business. Kver since
then I have been prosperous. From that
tery di.y—aye, from that very hour—I
saw tho change. ” Aud, sure enough,
he went on, and he gathered a fortune.
Tho only safe investment that u man
can make in this world is in the cause
of Christ. If a man give from u super
abundance, God may or he may not re
spond with a blessing, but if a man
give until lie feels it, if u man give un
til it fi-tche* the blood, if a man give
Christian generosity pays in the world
to come. I tell you it pays now, pays
in hard cash, paya in government se
curities. You do not believe it? Ah,
that is what keeps you back. I knew
you did not believe it. The whole wcrld
and Christendom is to bo reconstructed
on this subject, and as you are a part
of Christendom let the work begin in
your own soul. "But,” says some cue,
“I don’t believe that theory, because I
have, been generous and I have been
losing money for ten years. ” Then God
prepaid you, that is all.
What became of the money that you
made in other days? You say to your
son, "Now I will give you $5C0 every
year as long as you live.” After awhile
you say, "Well, my son, you prove
yourself so worthy of my confidence 1
will just give you $20,000 in a single
lump.” Aud you give it to him, aud he
starts off. In two or three yearn lie dots
not complain against you: “Father is
not taking care of me. I ought to have
$600 a year.” You prepaid your sou,
and he docs not complain. There are
thousands of us now who can this y< i.r
get just enough to supply our wants.
But did not God supply for us in the
past aud has lie not again and again and
again paid us in advance? In other
words, trusted you all along—trusted
you more than you had a right to ask?
Strike, then, a balance for God. Econo
mize in anything rather than in your
Christian charities. There is not more
than one out of 800of you whoever give
enough to do you tiny good, aud when
some cause of Christianity, seme mis
sionary society or Bible rcciety or
church organization, conics along and
gets anything from you v.liat do you
say? You say, “I have been bled.”
And there never was a more signifi' unt
figure of speech than that used in com
mon parlance. Yes, you have been bled,
and you are spiritually emaciated, when
if you had been courageous enough to
go through your property aud say,
“That belongs to God, and this belongs
to God, and the other thing belongs to
God,” and no more dared to appropriate
it to your own use than something that
belonged to your neighbor, instead of
being bled to death by charities you
would have been reinvigorated aud re
cuperated and built up for time and for
eternity. God will kc-p many of you
cramped in money matters until the day
of your death unless you swing out into
larger generosities.
A Great I'romlse.
People quote as a joke what is a
divine promise, "Cast thy bread upon
the waters, and it will return to thee
after many days.” W’Lat did God mean
by that? There is an allusion there. In
Egypt when they sow the corn it is at
a time when the Nile is overflowing its
banks, and they sow the seed corn on
the waters, aud as the Nile begins to
recede this seed corn strikes in the earth
and conies up a harvest, and that is the
allusion. It seems as if they arc throw
ing the corn away on the waters, but
after awhile they gather it up in a har
vest. Now says God in his word, "Cast
thy brrad upon the waters, aud it shall
come back to thee after many days. ”
It may seem to you that you arc throw
ing it uway on charities, hut it will
yield a harv« st of green aud gold—a
harvest on earth and a harvest in heav
en. If men could appreciate that and
act on that, we would have no more
trouble about individual or national
finances.
Prescription the third, for the cure of
all our individual aud national finan
cial distresses, a groat spiritual awaken
ing. It is no mere theory. Tho mer
chants of this country were positively
demented with tho monetary excite
ment in 1867. There never before nor
since has been such a state of financial
depression as thera was at that time.
A revival came, aud 500,000 people
were born into the kingdom of God.
What came after the revival? The
grandest financial prosperity wo have
ever hud in this country. The finest
fortunes, the largest fortunes in the
United States, have been made since
1867. “Weii,” you say, “what has
•pirituul improvement and revival to
do with monetary improvement aud re-
vival?" Much to do. The religion of
Jesus Christ has u direct tendency to
make men honest and sober and truth
tolling, aud are not honesty and sobriety
aud truth telling auxiliaries of material
prosperity?
If we could have an awakening in this
country us in tho days of Jonathan Ed
wards of Northampton, as in the days
of Dr. Finley of Basking Kidge, as in
the days of Dr. Griffin of Beaten, tho
whole land would rouse to a higher
moral tone, and with that moral tone
tho heuest Lx: intca enterprise of the
country would come up. You say a
great aw akening has an influence upon
the future world. I tell you it has a di
rect influence upon the financial wel
fare of this world. The religion of
Christ is no foe to successful business.
It is its best friend. Aud if there should
come a great awakening in this coun
try, and all the banks and insurance
companies and stores aud offices aud
shops should close up for two weeks and
do nothing but attend to the public
worship of almighty God, after such a
spiritual vacation the land would wake
up to such financial prosperity as we
have never dreamed of. Godliness is
profitable for the life that now is as
well as for that which is to come. But,
my friends, do not put so much empha
sis on worldly success as to let your
eternal affairs go at loose ends. I have
nothing to say against money. The
more money you get the hotter, if it
comes honestly and goes usefully. For
the lack of it sickness dies without
medicine, and hunger finds its coffin in
an empty bread tray, and nakedness shiv
ers for clothes and fire. All this canting
tirade against money as though it ’ ad
no practical use, when I hear a msn in
dulge in it, it makes me think the best
heaven for him would be an everlasting
poorbouse. No; there is a practical use
in money, but while v/o admit that we
must also admit that it cannot satisfy
the soul, that it cannot pay for our fer
riage across the Jordan of death, that it
cannot unlock the gate cf heaven for
our immoiUl souk
Shipwreck.
Yet there are men who cct as though
packs of bonds ciid mortgages could be
traded off for a mansion in heaven, and
as though gold were u legal tender in
that land where it is so common that
they moke pavements cut of it. Halva-
tiou by Christ is the only salvation.
Treasures in heaven are tho only incor
ruptible treasures. Have you ever ciph
ered out that sum in loss aud gain,
“What shall it profit a man if he gain
the whole world aud lose his soul?”
You may wear fine apparel now, but
tho winds of death will flutter it like
rags Homespun and a threadbare coat
have sometimes been tho shadow of
robes white in tho blood of the Lamb.

All the mines of Australia aud Brazil,
strung in one carc:tuet, are not worth
to you as much us the pearl of great
price. You remember, I suppose, some
years ago, the shipwreck of the Central
America? A storm came on that vessel.
Tho surges tramped the deck and swept
down through the hatches, and there
went up a hundred voiced death shriek.
Tho foam on the jaw of the wave. The
pitching of tho steamer, as though it
would leap a mountain. The glare of
the signal rockets. The long cough of
tho steam pipes. The hiss of extin-
guirked furnaces. The walking of God
on the wave. Oh, it was a stupendous
spectacle. But that ship did not go
down without a struggle. The passen
gers stood in long lines trying to bail it
out, and irn 11 unused to toil fugged un
til their hands were blistered aud their
muscles were strained. After awhile a
sail came in sight. A few passengers
got off, but the most went down. The
ship gave one lurch aud was lost.
Lo there are men who go on in life—
a fine voyage tin y are making out of it.
All is well till some euroclydon of
business disaster comes upon them, aud
they go down. The bottom of this com
mercial sea is strewn with the shat
tered hulks. But because your property
goes shall your soul go? Ob, no. There
is coming a more stupendous shipwreck
after awhile. This w orld—God launched
it G.UJO years ago, aud it is sailing on,
but oue day it will stagger at the cry
of “Fire!" and the timbers of tho rocks
will burn, and the mountains flame like
masts, aud the clouds like sails in the
judgment burnt uno. God will take a
good many (iff the deck, and others out
of tin berths, where they are now sleep
ing in Jesus. How many shall go down?
No one will know until it is announced
in heaven one day: “Shipwreck of a
world! So many millions saved! So
many millions drowued!” Because your
fortunes go, because your house goes,
because all your « arthly possessions go,
do not let your soul go. May the Lord
Almighty, through tho blood of the
everlasting covenant, save your souls!
