«f wild speculiition and gives sotue ac
count of the lltiunclal ruin of otlicr
days; rroverbs xxiii, r», “Uiches cer
tainly make themselves wings; they fly
away its an eagle toward heaven.”
Money Is a gold breasted bird with
silver beak. It alights on the office
desk or in the counting room or on the
parlor center table. Men and women
stand and admire it. They do not
notice that it lias wings larger than a
raven's, larger than a flamingo’s, larger
than an eagle’s. One wave of the hand
of misfortune, and it spreads its beauti
ful plumage and is gone, "ns an eagle
toward heaven,” my textbook says,
though sometimes I think it goes .hi the
other direction.
What n verification we have had of
the flying capacity of riches in Wall
street! And Wall street is one of the
longest streets in all the world. It
does not begin at the foot of Trinity
church, New York, and end at the East
river, ns many suppose. It reaches
through all our American cities and
across the seas. Encouraged by the
revival of trade and by the fact that
Wall street disasters of other years
were so far back as to be forgotten,
speculators run up the stocks from
point to point until Innocent people on
the outside suppose that the stocks
would always continue to ascend. They
gather in from all parts of the country.
Large sums of money tire taken into
Wall street and small sums of money.
The crash comes, thank God. in time
to warn off a great many who were on
their way thither, for the sadness of
the tiling is that a great many of the
young men of our cities who save a
little money for the purpose of starting
themselves In business and who have
$500 or $1,000 or $2,000 or '$10,000 go
into Wall street and lose nil. And if
there ever was a time for the pulpit to
speak out in regard to certain kinds of
nefarious enterprises now is.fbe time.
Stocks rose and fell, aP 'now they
begin to rise again, and t, \ will fall
again until thousands of Noting men
will be ruined unless the printing press
and the pulpit give emphatic utterance.
My counsel is to countrymen, so far as
they may hear of this discourse, if they
have surplus, to invest it in first mort
gages aud In moneyed institutions
which, though paying comparatively
small interest, are sound and safe be
yond dispute, and to stand clear of the
Wall street vortex, where so many
have been swamited and swallowed.
What a compliment it is to the healthy
condition of our country that these re
cent disasters have in no wise depress
ed trade! I thank God that Wall
street’s capacity to blast this country
has gone forever.
Wall Street.
Across the island of New York In
1GS5 a wall made of stone aud earth
and cannon mounted was built to keep
off the savages. Along by that wall a
street was laid out, and ns the street
followed the Hue of the wall it was
appropriately called Wall street. It is
narrow, it is unarchitectural, ahd yet
its history is unique. Excepting Lom
bard street, London, It Is the mightiest
street on this planet. There the gov
ernment of the United States was horn.
There Washington held his levees.
There Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Caldwell
and Mrs. Knox and otbfer brilliant wo
men of the Revolution displayed their
charms. There Witherspoon and Jon
athan Edwards and George Whltefleld
sometimes preached. There Dr. Ma
son chided Alexander Hamilton for
writing the constitution of the United
States without any God in It There
negroes were sold In the slave mart.
There criminals were harnessed to
wheelbarrows and, like beasts of bur
den, compelled to draw or were lashed
through the street behind carts to
which they were fastened. There for
tunes have come to coronation or buri
al since the day when reckless specu
lators in powdered hair and silver shoe
buckles dodged Dugan, the governor
general of his majesty, clear down to
yesterday at 3 o’clock. The history of
Wall street Is to a certain extent the
financial, commercial, agricultural,
mining, literary, artistic, moral and re
ligious history of tills country. There
aro the best men in this country, ami
there are the worst. Everything from
unswerving integrity to tiptop acoun-
drellsm—everything from heaven horn
charity to bloodless Bhylocklsiu. 1
want to put the plow in at the curb
stone of Trinity and drive it clear
through to Wail street ferry, and so
It shall go if the horses are strong
enough to draw the plow.
First of all. Wall street stands ns a
type in this country for tried integrity
and the most outrageous villainy.
Farmers who have only a few hundred
dollars’ worth of produce to put on the
market have but little to test tbeir
character, but put a man Into tbe sev
en times heated furnace of Wall street
excitement and be either comes out a
Sbadracb, with hair unsinged, or he is
burned into a black moral cinder. No
half way work about it. If T wanted
%o find Integrity bombproof, I would
go among the hankers and merchants
of Wall street, yet because there have
been such villainies enacted there at
dilTerent times some men have suppos
ed that it Is a great financial debauch
ery, and they hardly dare go near the
street or walk up and down It unleas
they have buttoned up their last pocket
and had their lives Insured or religious
ly crossed themselves. Yet If you start
fit either end of the street and rend the
uusiiiess signs you will find the names
of more men of Integrity and Christian
benevolence than you can ttud In thp
same space In any street of any of our
cities. Witen the Christian commis
sion and the sanitary commission want
ed money to send medicine and banrt-
kges to the wounded, when bread-
stuffs were wanted for fumtshlpg Ire
land, when colleges were to be endow
ed and churches were to be supported
and niiNslonary societies were to b<
equipped for their work of sending tb
gospel all around the world, the fir
WOp M bejp Walljfcr*

land have come from Wall street.
Integrltr and Villainy.
But. while that street Is a type of
tried integrity on one hand. It is also
a type of unbounded swindle on the
other. There are the spiders that wait
for innocent files; there are the croco
diles that crawl up through the slime
to cranclt the calf; there are the ana
condas, with lifted loop, ready to crush
the unwary; there are financial wreck
ers who stand on the bench praying
for a Caribbean whirlwind to sweep
over our commercial interests. Let me
say It is no place for a man to go Into
business unless Ills moral principle is
thoroughly settled. That Is no place
for n man to go Into business who does
not know when lie Is overpaid $5 by
mistake whether he had better take it
back or not; that is no place for a man
to go who lias large-funds In trust and
who is all the time tempted to specu
late with them; that is no place for a
man to go who does not quite know
whether the laws of the state forbid
usury or patronize it. Oh, how many
men have risked themselves JH* •tv-
tex and gone down for the sl^te rea
son their Integrity had not been thor-
ougitly established! Remember poor
Ketcham -how soon the flying hoofs
of his iron grays clattered with him
to his destruction; remember poor Gay,
at 30 years of age astonishing the
world with his fortunes and his for
geries; remember that famous man
whose steamboats and whose opera
houses could not atone for his adulter
ous rides through Central park In the
face of decent New York and whose be
havior on Wall street by Its example
has blasted tens of thousands of young
men of this generation.
I hold up the polluted memory to
want young men whose moral prin
ciples are not thoroughly settled to
keep out of Wall street. It Is no place
for a man who shivers under the blast
of temptation. Let me say also to
those who are doing legitimate busi
ness on that or similar streets of which
that is a type to stand firm in Chris
tian principle. You are In a great com
mercial battlefield. Be courageous.
There is such a thing as a hero of the
hank and a hero of the Stock Ex
change. You be that hero. 1 have not
so much admiration for the French em
press who stood in iter balcony in Paris
and addressed an excited mob and
quelled it as 1 have admiration for that
venerable banker on Wall street who
in 18(54 stood on the steps of his money
ed institution and quieted the fears of
depositors and bade peace to the angry
wave of commercial excitement. God
did not allow the lions to hurt Daniel,
and lie will not allow the "bears” to
hurt you. Remember, my friend, that
all these scenes of business will soon
have passed away, and by the law of
God's eternal right all the affairs of
your business life will be adjudicated.
Honesty pays best for both worlds.
Speculation and Gambling.
Again. I have to remark that Wall
street is a type throughout the country
of legitimate speculation on the one
hand and of ruinous gambling on the
other. Almost every merchant is to
some extent a speculator. He depeuds
not only upon the difference between
the wholesale price at which he gets
the goods and the retail at which he
disposes of them, but also upon the
fluctuation of the markets. If the mar
kets greatly rise, he greatly gains. If
the markets greatly sink, he greatly
loses. It is as honest to deal in stocks
as to deal in iron or coal or hardware
or dry goods. He who condemns all
stock dealings as though they were
Iniquitous simply shows his own Igno
rance. Stop all legitimate speculation
in this country, and you stop all banks,
you stop all factories, you stop all
storehouses, you stop all the great
financial prosperities of this country.
A stu«. ' dealer Is only a commission
merchant under another name. He
gets his comiqistdon on one style of
goods. You, the grocer, get your com
mission on another style of goods. Tbe
dollar that he makes Is just as bright
and fair and honest a dollar as the dol
lar earned by the day laborer.
But hety we must draw the line be
tween legitimate speculation and ruin
ous gambljug. You, a stock operator
without aity property behind you,
financially 1 irresponsible, sell $100 f
nothing an^j get paid for It You sell
100 shares af. $10,000 at 30 days. If at
the end of SO days you can get the
scrip for $0.000^you have made a thou
sand. If at the on A. of 30 days you
have to pay $11,000,’then you have
have to pay $11,000,’then you have
lost a thousand. Now, omt Is traffick
ing in fiction. That K, betting on
uvalves the i
idi us any Oil
4 Iwt InmrAXft
Ing in fiction. That betting
chances. That involves t!»e spirit of
gambling as much us anything that
ever goes on in tbe lowest gambling
hell. T
At certain times almost every pros
perous Inerchant wakes up, and he
says: “Now, I have been successful
my line of trade, aud 1 have a tolerable
income. 1 think I shall go down to
AYull street and treble it In three
weeks. There’s my neighbor. He was
in tiie same line of business. He has
his $300,000 or $400,000 from tbe sim
ple fact he went Into Wall street. I
think I shall go too.” Here they come,
retired merchants, who want to get a
little excitement in their lethargic
veins. Here they come, the trustees f
great propel ty. to fool everything
away. Here they come, men celebrat
ed for prudence, to trifle with the live
lihoods of widows and orphans. Do
you wonder that sometimes they be
come insane? It Is Insanity. Do you
know there are hundreds of young
men who are perishing under the pas
sion for stock gambling? Do you
know that in all Christian lands this
Is one of the greatest curses?
|t Is not peculiar to mercurial Amer
icans. Oh, no! Almost every nation
lias indulged In It. The Hollanders,
the most phlegmatic people in the
world, had their gambling seizure In
1083. It was called the tulip mania. It
was a speculation in tulips. Proper
ties worth half a million dollars turnud
Into tulips. All the Holland nation ei
ther buying or selling tulips. One tu
lip root sold for $200, another for $2,-
000. Excitement rolling on and rolling
on until history tells us that one Am
sterdam tulip which was supposed to
l>e the only one of the kind in all the
world actually brought in (lie markets
$1,610,000! That Is a matter of his
tory. Of course the crash came, and
all Holland went down under It.

But France must have Its gambling
'Dion, and that was in 1710. John
><ilMippl scheme, It wa« call-
"cb b$d heard that this
Amer’enn coiitIncut was buBIt out of
solid gold, mid the project was to take
It across the ocean aud drop It in
France. Excitement beyond anything
tii.it had yet been seen In the world.
Three hundred thousand applicants
for shares. Excitement so great that
sometimes the mounted military hud
to disperse the crowds that had come
to buy the slock. Five hundred tem
porary tents built to accommodate the
people until they could have opportu
nity of lutcrviewlng John Law. A
lady of great fashion had tier eoneb-
mun upset her uenr the place where
John Law was passing In order that
she might have an Interview with that
benevolent and sympathetic gentleman!
Stocks went up to 2,050 per cent, until
one day suspicion got Into the market,
and down it all went—John Law’s Mis
sissippi scheme—burying Its projector
anti some of the greatest financiers in
all France, and was almost as bad as a
French revolution.
Sedate England took Its chance In
1720. That was the south sea bubble..
They proposed to transfer all the gold
of Peru and Mexico and the Islands of
the sea to England. Five millions’
worth of shares were put on the mar
ket at £.’100 a’share. The books open,
in a few days it is ail taken and twice
tho amount subscribed.
Excitement following excitement un
til all kinds of gambling projects enme
forth under the wing of this south sea
enterprise. There was a large compa
ny formed with great capital for pro
viding funerals for all parts of the
land. Another company with large cap
ital—£5,000.000 capital —to develop a
wheel in perpetual motion; another
company, with a capital of £4,000,000,
to insure people against loss by serv
ants; another company, with £2,500,000
capital, to transplant walnut trees from
Virginia to England; then, to cap the
climax, a company was formed for "a
great undertaking — nobody to know
what it is.” And, lo, £(500,000 In shares
were offered at £100 a share; books
were opened at 0 o’clock in the morn
ing and closed at 3 o'clock in the after
noon, and the first day it was all sub
scribed. “A great undertaking—nobody
to know what it is!”
An old magazine of those days de
scribes the scene (Hunt’s Magazine).
It says: “From morning until evening
Change alley was full to overflowing
with one dense, moving mass of living
beings, composed of the most incon
gruous materials and In all things save
the mad pursuit whereof they were
employed utterly opposite In their prin
ciples and feelings and far asunder in
their stations in life and the profes
sions they follow. Statesmen aud
clergymen deserted their high stations
to enter upon tills great theater of
speculation aud gambling. Churchmen
aud dissenters left their fierce disputes
and forgot their wrangiings upon
church government In the deep and
hazardous game they were playing for
worldly treasures and for riches,
w'hich, If gained, were liable to disap
pear within an hour of their creation.
Whigs and Tories buried their weapons
of political warfare, discarded party
animosities and mingled together in
kind aud friendly Intercourse, each ex
ulting ns tbeir stocks advanced In
price and grumbling when fortune
frowned upon them. Lawyers, phy
sicians, merchants and traveling men
forsook their employment, neglected
their business, disregarded tbeir en
gagements to whirl along in the stream,
to be at lust engulfed in the wild sea
of bankruptcy. Females mixed with
the crowd, forgetting the station aud
employment which natuiv bad fitted
them to adorn, and dealt boldly aud ex
tensively and, like those by whom they
were surrounded, rose from poverty to
wealth and from that were thrown
down to beggitry aud want, and all In
one short week and perhaps before the
evening which terminated the first day
of their speculation. Ladies of high
rank, regardless of every appearance
of dignity and blinded by the prevail
ing infatuation, drove to the shops of
their milliners and haberdashers and
there met their stockbrokers, whom
they regularly employed aud through
whom extensive sales were dally nego
tiated. In the midst of the excitement
all distinctions of party and religion
and circumstances aud character were
swallowed up.”
Condemned bj God.
But It was left for our own country
to surpass .11 about 37 years ago. We
have the highest mountains and the
greatest cataracts and tbe longest riv
ers. and of course we had to have tbe
largest swindle. One would .have

only want you to know that it was In a

The Day of Aecoantlna.
O men of Wall street and of all
streets, stand back from nefarious en
terprises, join that great company of
Christian men who are maintuLning
their integrity notwithstanding all the
pressure of temptation. In the morn
ing, when you open business In the
broker’s office or in the hanking house,
ask God’s blessing and when you close
it pronounce a benediction upon it A
kind of business that men cannot en
gage in without prayer is no business
for you. 1 wish that the words of
George Peabody, uttered In the hearing
of the people of his native town, Dan
vers, Mass.—I wish that those words
could be uttered in tbe bearing of oil tbe
young men throughout the land. He
said: “Though Providence lias granted
me unvaried and universal success in
the pursuit of fortune in other lands, I
am still In heart the bumble boy who
left yonder unpretending dwelling.
There is not a youth within the sound
of my voice whose early opportunities
and advantages are not very much
greater than were my own, and 1 have
since achieved nothing that is Impos
sible to tbe most humble boy among
you." George Peabody’s success In
business was not more remarkable
than his integrity and his great hearted
benevolence. I pray upon you God’s
protecting and prospering blessing. I
hope you may all make fortunes for
time aud fortunes for eternity.
Borne day when you come out of your
place of business and you go to the
clearing house or the place of custom
or the bank or your own home—as you
come out of your place of business
just look up at the clock In the tower
aud see by tbe movement of the hands
how your life is rapidly going away
and be reminded of the fact that be
fore God’s throne of Inexorable Judg
ment you must yet give account for
what you have done since tbe day you
sold the first yard of cloth or tbe first
pound of sugar. 1 pray for you all
prosperity. Stand close by Christ, and
Christ -will stand close by you. The
greater the temptation the more mag
nificent tbe reward. But alas for the
stock gambler! What will he do In the
Judgment? That day will settle every
thing. That to the stock gambler will
be a “break” at the "first call.” No
smuggling into heaven. No “collater
als” on which to trade your way In.
'Jo in through Christ the Lord, or you
will forever stay out. God forbid that
after you have done your last day’s
work on earth and the bushed assem
bly stands around with bowed heads
at your obsequies—God forbid that the
most appropriate text for your funeral
oration should be, “As a partridge sit-
teth on eggs and batcheth them not,
so be that gettetb riches and not by
right shall leave them in tbe midst of
his days, and at tbe end he shall be a
fool,” or that the most appropriate
funeral psalm should be the words of
the poet:
Price of many a crime untold—
Cold, gold, gold, gold.

The Enffliah Clergy.
The steady and Increasing diminu
tion of the number of candidates for
holy orders in tbe Church of England
Is a painful symptom. At tbe last Ad
vent ordinations only 465 deacons and
priests were ordained as against 519
at the* previous Advent. The serious
ness of this condition of affairs rises
out of the fact that the population of
England is still increasing at the rate,
It Is said, of 300,000 per annum.—
