filve ^Pi o§ wiuler So the falling of the hair tells of the approach of age and declining power. No matter how barren the tree nor how leafless it may seem, you confidently expect leaves again. And why? Because there is life at the roots. So you need not worry about the falling cf your hair, the ^ threatened departure of youth ^ and beauty. And why? Because if there is a spark of life remaining in the roots of the hair H will arouse it into healthy activ ity. The hair ceases to come cut: it begins to grow: and the glory of your youth is restored to you. We have a hook on the Hair and its Diseases. It is free.

Dr. Tnlmaitc Declare* That UtKht- ronane** la u He-enforceinent nod Not n llindriiiiee In tlic Affair* of I.lfe. ICopyrlght, laiuis Klopsoh. 1899.] Washington, Aug. 27.—In this dis course Dr. Talmage argues that re ligion may bo taken into all the affairs of life and instead of being a hin drance, as many think, is a re-enforce ment. The text is Romans xil, 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 conjoined? Oh, yes! There is no war between religion and busi ness, between ledgers and Bibles, be tween churches and counting houses. On the contrary, religion accelerates business, sharpens men's wits, sweet ens acerbity of disposition, fillips the blood of phlegmatics and throws more velocity Into the wheels of hard work. It gives better balancing to the Judg ment, more strength to the will, more muscle to industry and throws Into enthusiasm a more consecrated fire. You cannot in all the circle of the world show me a man whose honest business has been despoiled by re ligion. The industrial classes are divided In to three groups—producers, manufac turers, trailers. Producers, such as farmers and miners. Manufacturers, such as those who turn corn Into food and wool and flax Into apparel. Trad ers, such as make profit out of the transfer and exchange of all that which is produced and manufactured. A btisinc:4 man may belong to any one or all of these classes, and not one is independent of any other. When the prince imperial of France fell on the Zulu battlefield because the strap fastening the stirrup to the sad dle broke as he clung to it, his com rades all escaping, hut he falling un der the lances of the savages, a great many people blamed the empress for allowing her son to go forth into that battlefield, and others blamed the Eng lish government for accepting the sac rifice. and others blamed the Zulus for their barbarism. The one most to blame was the harness maker who fashioned that strap of the stirrup out of shoddy ami imperfect material, as it was found to have been afterward. If the strap had held, the prince imperial would probably have been alive today. But the strap broke. No prince inde pendent of a harness maker! High, low, wise, ignorant, you in one occupa tion, 1 in another, all hound together. So that there must he one continuous line of sympathy with each other’s work. But whatever your vocation, If you have a multiplicity of engage ments, if into your life there come loss es and anuoyanecs and perturbations as well as percentages and dividends, If you are pursued from Monday morn ing until Saturday night and from January to January by inexorable ob ligation and duty, then you are a busi ness man, or you are a business wo man, and my subject is appropriate to your case. Griintl unri Glorlon*. We are under the impression that the moil and tug of business life are a prison into which a man is thrust or that it is an unequal strife where un armed a man goes forth to eontend. I shall show you this morning that business life was intended of God for grand and glorious education and dis cipline, and if I shall he helped to say what I want to say I shall rub some of the wrinkles of care out of your brow and unstrap some of the burdens from your hack. I am not talking of an abstraction. Though never having been in business life, 1 know all about business men. In my first parish at Belleville, N. J., ten miles from New York, a large por tion of my audience was made up of New York merchants. Then I went to Syracuse, a place of Immense commer cial activity, and then I went to Phila delphia and lived long among the mer chants of that city, than whom there are uo better men ou earth, and for 23 years I stood In my Brooklyn pulpit, Sabbath by Sabbath, preaching to au diences the majority of whom were business men and business women, it is not an abstraction of which 1 speak, hut a reality with which 1 urn well ac quainted. In the tirst place, I remark that busi ness life was Intended ns a school of energy. God gives us a certain amount of raw material out of which we are to hew our character. Our faculties aro to he reset, rounded and sharpened up. Our young folks having graduated from school or college need a higher education, that which the rasping nud collision of everyday life alone can ef fect. Energy Is wrought out only In the fire. After a man has been in busi ness activity 10, 20, 30 years, his ener gy is not to he measured by weights or plummets or ladders. There Is uo height it cannot scale, and there is no depth It cannot fathom, nifd there is no obstacle it cannot thrash. Now, my brother, why did God put you In that school of energy? Was it merely that you might he a yardstick to measure cloth or a steelyard to weigh flour? Was It merely that you Blight he better qualified to chaffer and higgle? No. God placed you in that school of energy that you might he developed for Christian work. If the undeveloped talents In the Chris tian churches of today were brought out and thoroughly harnessed. I be lieve the whole earth would be con verted to God In a twelvemonth. There are so rnnuy deep streams that are turning no mill wheels and that are harnessed to no faelory hands. OoH the ItcBt. Now. God deiiiHiids the best lamb out of every flock, lie demands tin* richest sheaf of every harvest, lie de- mauds the best men of every genera tion. A cause lu which Newton nud Locke and Mansfield tolled you aud 1 can afford to toil In. Oh, for fewer idlers in the cause of Christ aud for piore Christian workers, men who shall take the same energy that from Mon day morning to Saturday night they put forth for the achievement of a livelihood or the gathering of a for tune and mi Sabbath days pul It forth to the advantage of Christ's kingdom aud (lie bringing of ineu to the lull'd. iir. Duff visited a man who hud iu- herited a great fortune. The man said to him: “I had to he very busy for many years of my life getting my live lihood. After awhile (Ids fortune eume to me and there has been no necessity that I toll since. There came a time when 1 said to myself, 'Shall I now re tire from business, or shall I go on and serve the Lord In my worldly occupa tion?’” Herald: “I resolved on the latter, aud Waive been more Indus trious in commercial circles than 1 ever was before, and since that hour I have never kept a farthing for myself. I have thought It to he u great shame If I couldn’t toll as hard for the Lord as I had toiled for myself, aud all the products of my factories and my com mercial establishments to the last farthing have gone for the building of Christian institutions and supporting 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 nud the allevia tion of the world’s suffering! Again, I remark that business life is a school of patience. In your every day life how many things to annoy and to disquiet? Bargains will rub. Com mercial men will sometimes fail to meet their engagements. Cash hook and money drawer will sometimes quarrel. Goods ordered for a special emergency will come too late or he damaged In the transportation. People Intending no harm will go shopping without any Intention of purchase, overturning great stocks of goods and insisting that you break the dozen. More had debts on the ledger. More counterfeit hills In the drawer. More debts to pay for other people. More meannesses on the part of partners in business. Annoyance after annoyance, vexation after vexation and loss after loss. School of Patience. All that process will either break you down or brighten you up. It is a school of patience. You have known men under the process to become petu lant, and choleric, and angry, and pug nacious, aud cross, and sour, and queer, and they lost their customers, and their name became a detestation. Other men have been brightened up under the process. They were tough ened by the exposure. They were like rocks, all the more valuable for being blasted. At first they had to choke down their wrath, at first they had to bite their lips, at first they thought of some stinging retort they would like to make, hut they conquered their Impa tience. They have kind words now for sarcastic flings. They have gentle be havior now for unmannerly customers. They are patient now with unfortunate debtors. They have Christian reflec tions now for sudden reverses. Where did they get that patience? By hear ing a minister ireach concerning it on Sabbath? Oh, uo! They got it Just where you will get It—if you ever get it at all—selling hats, discounting notes, turning banisters, plowing corn, tiuniug roofs, pleading causes. Ob, that amid the turmoil and anxiety and exasperation of everyday life you might hear the voice of God saying: “In patience possess your soul. Lot patience have her perfect work.” 1 remark again that business life is a school of useful knowledge. Mer chants do not read many hooks aud do not study lexicons. They do not dive into profounds of learning, and yet nearly all through their occupations come to understand questions of finance, and politics, and geography, and jurisprudence, and ethics. Busi ness Is a severe schoolmistress. If pupils will not learn, she strikes them over the head and the heart with se vere losses. You put $r»,000 Into an enterprise. It Is all gone. You say, “That Is a dead loss.” Oh, no! You are paying the schooling. That was only tuition, very large tuition—I told you It was a severe schoolmistress— but It was worth It. You learned things under that process you would not have learned In any other way. Traders in grain come to kjiow some thing about foreign harvests, traders lu fruit come to kuow something about the prospects of tropical production, manufacturers of American goods come to understand the tariff ou Im ported articles, publishers of books must come to understand the uew law of copyright, owners of ships must conic to know winds aud shoals aud navigation, and every bale of cotton, and every raisin cask, and every tea box, and every cluster of bntiauas is so much literature for a business man. Now, my brother, what are you going to do with the Intelligence? Do you suppose God put you In this school of Information merely that you might be sharper In a trade, that you might be more successful as a worldling? Oh, no! It was that you might take that useful luformatlou aud use it for Jesus Christ Keed ot lloneaty. Cau It be Ibfit you have been deallAg with foreign lands and never had the missionary spirit, wishing the salva tion of foreign people? Can It be that you have become acquainted with nil the outrages iutllcted In business life and that you have never tried to bring to bear that gospel which Is to extir pate all evil and correct all wrongs and Illuminate all darkness and lift up nil wretchedness aud save men for this world and the world to come? Can It be that understanding all the Intrica cies of business you kuow nothing about those things which will last aft er all bills of exchange and consign ments and invoices aud rent rolls shall have crumpled up and been consumed lu the tires of the lust great day? Can it be thut a man will be wise for a time nud a fool for eternity? 1 remark, also, that business life Is a school for Integrity. No man knows what he will do until he is tempted. There arc thousands of men who have kept their Integrity merely because they never have been tested. A man was elected treasurer of the state of MaiUo some years ago. He was distlu gulshed for his honesty, m 'fulness and uprightness, but before one year had passed he hud taken of the public funds fur his own private use aud was hurled out of office iu disgrace. Dis tinguished for virtue before. Distlu gulshed for crime after. You can call over the names of meu just like that, In whose honesty you hud complete confidence, hut placed In certain crises of temptation they went overboard. Never so many temptations to scoun- drellsm us now. Not a law on the statute hook hut has some hack dour through which a mUcrcuut can escape. Ah, how many deceptions lu the fabric of goods; so much plundering In com mercial life that If a man talk about living a life of complete commercial Integrity there are those who nsci'lbe It to greenness and luck of tact! More ueed oi honesty now than ever before, tried honesty, complete honoty, more than In those times when business was a plain affair, aud woolens were woolens, and silks were silks, aud men were men. How many men do you suppose there are lu commercial life who could say truthfully. “In nil the sales I have ever made I have never overstate*! the value of goods. In all the sales I have ever made I have never covered up an Im perfection iu the fabric, of all the thou sands of dollars l have ever made I have uot taken one dishonest farth ing?’’ There are men, however, who can say it, hundreds who can say It, thousands who can say it They are more honest than when they sold their first tierce of rice or their first firkin of butter, because their honesty and In tegrity have been tested, tried and come out triumphant. But they re member a time when they could have robbed a partner, or have absconded with the funds of a hank, or sprung a snap judgment, or made a false as signment, or borrowed inimitably with out any efforts at payment, or got a man into a sharp corner and fleeced him. But they never took one step on that pathway of hell fire. They edn say their prayers without hearing the chink of dishonest dollars. They 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 with out any flinching—that day when all charlatans and cheats ami Jockeys and frauds shall he doubly damned. It does not make their knees knock to gether, and it does not make their teeth chatter to read “as the partridge sinetli on eggs and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches and not by right shall leave them in the midst of his days and at his end shall be a fool.” Only Once. What a school of integrity business life is! If you have ever been tempted to let your integrity cringe before pres ent advantage, if you have ever wak ened up iu some embarrassment aud said: “Now, 1 will step a little aside from the right path, and uo 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 aud blasted their souls for eternity. A merchant iu Liverpool got a £5 Bank of England note, and, holding it up toward the light, he saw some in- terliueatious in what seemed red iuk. He finally deciphered the letters and found out that the writing had been made by a slave lu Algiers, saying In substance, “Whoever gets this hank note will please to Inform my brother, John Dean, living near Carlisle, that I am a slave of the hey of Algiers.” The merchant sent word, employed govern ment officers nud found who this man was spoken of in this bank note. Aft er awhile the man was rescued, who for 11 years had been a slave of the bey of Algiers. He was immediately emancipated, but was so worn out by hardship and exposure he soon after died. Oh, if some of the hank hills that come through your hands could tell all the scenes through which they have passed It would he a tragedy eclipsing any drama of Shakespeare, mightier than King Lear or Macbeth! As I go ou in this subject 1 am Im pressed with the Importance of our having more sympathy with business men. Is it not a shame that wc In our pulpits do not oftener preach about their struggles, their trials and their temptations? Men who toll with the hand are not apt to be very sympa thetic with those who toll with the broln. The farmers who raise the corn ami the oats and the wheat sometimes are tempted to think that grain mer chants have an easy time and get their profits without giving auy equivalent. 1‘lato and Aristotle were so opposed to merchandise that they declared com merce to be the curse of the nations, and they advised that cities be built at least ten miles from the sea coast. But you nud 1 know that there are no more Industrious or high minded men than those who move In the world of traffic. Some of them carry burdens heavier than hods of brick, and are exposed to sharper things than the east wind, and climb mountains higher than the Alps or Himalayas, nud if they are faithful to Christ will at last say to them: “Well douu, good aud faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” Bnalne** Martyr*. 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 street and Broadway, martyrs of Atlantic street aud Chestnut street, going through hotter tires, or having their necks uuder sharper axes. Then It be hooves us to banish nil fretfulness from our lives, If this subject lie true. We look back to the time when we were at school, and we remember the rod, and we remomhor the hard tasks and we complained grievously; hut now we see It was for the best. Busi ness life Is a school, and the tasks are hard, and the chastisements somo- tlffn‘8 are very grievous; hut do not complain. The hotter the fire the bet ter the refilling. Then* are men before the throne of God this day iu triumph who on earth were cheated <>nt of ev erything hut their coffin. They were sued, they were Imprisoned for debt, they were throttled by constables with a whole pack of writs, they were sold out by the sheriffs, they had to compromise with their creditors, they hud to make assignments. Their dying hours were annoyed by the sharp ring ing of the door bell by some Impetuous ♦fpdltor who thought If was outrageous and Impudent that a man should dare to die before he paid the lust half dol lar. I had a friend who had many mis fortunes. Everything went against hlw. lie had good business capacity and was of the best of morals, hut he was one of those men sorb ns you have nometlme# seen, for whom every thing seems to go wrong. His life be came to him a plague. When I heard he was dead, I said, “Good; got rid of the sheriffs?" Who are those lustrous souls before the tbirooo? When the question Is asked, “Who are they?" the angels standing on the sea of glass respond, “These are they who came out of great business trouble and hail had their robes washed and made white in tbe blood of the Lamb." C.Ol1 II(‘I|IH. A man arose iu Fulton street prayer meeting and said: “I wish publicly to acknowledge tbe goodness of God. 1 was In business trouble. I had money to pay, and 1 had no means to pay It, and 1 was la utter despair of all hu man help, and 1 laid this matter be fore the Lord, and tills morning I went down among some old business friends I had not seen In many years just to make a call, aud one said to me: ‘Why, 1 am so gkid to see you! Walk In. We have some money ou our books due you a good while, but we didn't know where you were, nud therefore not having your address we could uot scud 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! Com mercial ethics, business honor, laws of trade are all very good lu their place, but there are times when you want something more than this world will give you. Y'ou want God. For the lack of him some that you have known have consented to forge, and to maltreat their friends, aud to curse their ene mies, and their names have been bul letined among scoundrels and they have been ground to powder, while other men you have known have gone through the very same stress of cir cumstances triumphant. There are meu here today who fought the battle and gained the victory. People come out of thut man’s store and they say, “Well, if there ever was a Christian trader, that Is one.” Integrity kept the books and waited ou the customers. Light from the eternal world flashed through the show windows. Love to God ami love to man presided in that store house. Some day people going through the street notice that the shutters of the window are not down. The bar of that store door lias uot been removed. People say, “What is the matter?” You go up a little closer and you sec 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 lias made ids last bargain, he has suf fered his last loss, lie has ached with the last fatigue. His childijen will get the result of his industry, or, if through misfortune there he no dollars left, they will have an estate of prayer and Christian example, which will be ever lasting.
