Frank lie Witt Talmage in Jefferson I’ark Presbyte rian church, the supreme folly of bar tering away one’s eternal welfare in exchange for wealth, ambition and pleasure or whatever else the world can give is convincingly shown. The text is Mark viii, 3t>, “What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” A most magnificent text, especially easy of' interpretation at the present time. This is pre-eminently a commercial age. Everywhere man is struggling after the mighty dollar. Capital strives to beat down every obstacle, that its rivers of gold may grow into oceans. Prove to a man who has money that by a cer tain investment he can make more money, and there is no trouble to per suade him to invest. Why does a real estate speculator buy land? To make money. When examining a piece of property, he says to himself: “If I buy, shall 1 be able to sell at an advanced price? Is this suburban region going to be built up? Will the electric cars come out here? Shall the future residents have easy access to the city? Shall I he able to make enough out of my bar gain to warrant the output of cutting this farm up into streets and building lots—enough to pay my taxes in the meantime?” The merchantman’s chief thought is to decrease his expenses and thereby increase his profits. To have the maximum of returns for the mini mum of output he si nds his buyers to Europe. There they can buy the cheap est. lie has wires strung round the store so he can dispense with his cash girls. lie pays promptly for his goods to avail himself of the discount. To woo more trade he has his delivery wagons stationed in the neighboring towns. His customers are thus ac- tomiiiodated. They do not have to carry their bundles home. To increase the profits and decrease expenses the large c rporat^ons are be ing formed. There are the steel trust, the oil trust, the tin can trust, the sug ar trust, the tobacco trust, the coal trust, the Hour trust, the meat trust. A trust is primarily formed to regulate the selling prices: but. secondarily, a trust is formed to lessen the cost of production. A Community of Intercuts. • Thirty or forty men In the same line of business come together. They say to each other: “What is the good of trying to financially cut each other’s throats? Why not have a community of interests? Instead of having many different oflices we can have one big central office. Instead of having thirty or forty different presidents and secre taries and treasurers and cashiers and superintendents and general managers we can have each department under a single bead. If we are in the brick business, we can have the brickyard which is nearest to the site of the pro posed building make the bricks and thus save expense of cartage.” The tie which binds the leaders of a great corporation la not one of sentiment, but one of profit Christ In my text talks to bis auditors as though they were a collection of business men. He practically says: "Before you settle the question of your eternal destiny I want you to enter into some gospel mathematics. I want you to put down upon a piece of paper all the riches of the world. Place there the value of the gold of countless mines and of the cat tle on a thousand bills. Place there the value of the palaces of kings and queens. The value of the great commercial interests of the world. Put all these values down. Add the figures up. Then from that aggregation of numbers subtract the value of your Immortal soul and behold what you have left." Mathematics cannot He. Two and two always make four. Ten tlmea ten make 100. Twelve divided by four always gives three. Five from five leaves nothing. Come, let us try to solve the greatest of all problems. “What shall it profit a man If be shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" He who solves this gospel problem must realize that he can only get a life Interest In the world and not a title deed In perpetuity. Every would be purchaser of a home Is very careful about the title deed. When a man Is about to buy a bouse, be has bis own lawyer go to the county building and look up the records. The attorney traces the history of that land from owner back to owner until be comes to the original settler who bought the land from the government or the In dians. If there Is any flaw In any deed, the would be buyer refuses to purchase. He says to himself: “I am afraid that I might be Involved In fu ture litigations. My children may have this property taken from them after I am dead. 1 will not buy. The title Is not perfe t." Within a short dis tance of my Id Brooklyn home there was a tract <ff land which was called (Jackson’s hollow. It was In the very center of the dty. Well paved streets ran through It The drainage pipes were all there. The city grew. The bouses were built up for miles and miles beyond this location. Jackson's hollow was uninhabited for fifty years, except by a few poor families, who had erected shanties. These poor fam ilies were squatters. We boys would play ball In those vscxiit lots. Jack- son’s hollow, hi Its status, existed be cause there was a daw in the title to the land. No man would build there a house until he was positive about his ownership. A few years ago the civil courts rendered favorable decision concerning the title deeds. Then the masons and the carpenters came in swarms. Jackson’s hollow disappeared forever from public view. A Lift* Interest In the World. “But.” says some one, “to possess a i life interest in the worid means a very | great deal. Think of owning all the money stored away in the vaults of the United States treasury! Think of possessing the royal jewels of England and Gern any and Russia and Spain! Think of having your wardrobes filled with the costliest of dresses now being made in the large establishments of the Parisian modistes! Think of all the new bonnets one could have, all j the horses one could drive, all the steam yachts which would ride at an chor in front of one’s summer home! Indeed, it looks as though to have a i life interest in the world is not to be ; despised even though we must surren- i der all at the brink of the grave.” But Satan's offer is not so liberal ! after one begins to rightly estimate : the results. The other day I was talk- ! lug to the representative of a great life I Insurance company. I said to him: “I ! have a horror of old age. weak and \ helpless. 1 do not want to be a worn- out minister, who has to preach to earn his daily bread. When 1 grow so old that the people would prefer a younger man to take my pulpit. 1 would like to he able to resign my pastorate.” After hearing me patient ly this life Insurance agent answered: “There would be no danger of that if you only had a little money. When you become sixty or seventv voars of age. you could go to a life insurance company and purchase an annuity. For a very moderate sum you could at that age secure an annual income that would be sufficient to keep you from all want." But I answered: “Suppose I could not pass a medical examina tion? What then?” “Ah.” replied the life insurance agmit, “you do not have to pass a medical examination. The older you are and the poorer your health the more anxious the company would be to get you to invest. As soon as you die the company will pos sess your principal.” Saton in a similar way comes to a | man who in all probability will not I live over five or ten or perhaps twenty 1 years, .and he says: “My friend, you I give me a mortgage on your eternal soul, to be foreclosed at your death, and I will give you a life interest in the world. I will give you more food than you can eat. more clothing than you can wear, more houses than you can live in. more money than you can spend, and at your earthly demise I will not care for your money or your stocks, but I will only demand and take your immortal soul.” Come, now, let us reason together. Are you. an immortal man. with a soul which shall live on through the coming ages, with a soul that shall stand by the cradle of unborn millenniums, with a soul that shall yet witness this earth gasp and die of old age. to enter into such a con tract? Read the simple statement of the proposed agreement. Ask yourself this momentous question: “What shall it profit a man if be shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" and exercise the common sense God bag given you. Possibilities For Happiness. Great worldly possessions do not nec essarily imply a life interest in happi ness. Indeed we believe those in the ordinary walks of life have better pos sibilities for happiness than those in the higher walks. The more influen tial one becomes the greater bis respon sibilities and anxieties. What was the happiest time of your life? You are now a great merchant or lawyer or physician or governor or sen ator. la tbia your supremely happy moment? “No.” you answer, ‘‘the hap piest time of my life is not found in, the present, but in the past. Now I have riches, a city mansion and a country home. These results of finan cial success do not bring to me peace of mind and contentment. The happiest time of my life was when a poor young man I lived on a small aalary. Though my wages were not large. I yet bad enough to marry on. I woo a true, good, noble wife. We started out in two small rooms. The battles came one by one. The small salary was somehow able to stretch enough to furnish food and clothing for all. We always bad enough to eat. Our garments could defy any cold. Never were a pair of birds happier batching out their eggs in a dovecot than my wife find 1 In our little nest. But now. instead of working as a mechanic ten hours per day. I am planning most of the time. I am afraid the men will strike and the whole plant will stand idle. My poor brain, tired from overwork, will not let me sleep at night. I am worried because I fear that If I should die my children could not straighten out the estate. They might lose everything.” Indeed, there is but little pleasure In being rich and owning more houses than you can live in. That the advantages of wealth ar« frequently overestimated is peculiarly well illustrated In one of Dr. Dio Lewis’ lectures. He says: “How much more does the capitalist get out of bis millions than the man of hundreds gets out of bis hundreds? The million aire cannot wear as be walks the streets a hundred coats, a hundred vests, a hundred hats or a hundred pairs of shoes. When be sits down at the table be cannot eat ■ whole roast ox. two or three barrels of potatoes, a couple of huabels of turnips—Id fact, be very rarely eats as much as bis brother In poorer circumstances. When he dies, be requires no ten acre lot to bury him. The bole that his body will fill will’be no larger than that required toy the pauper who died in the poor- house. His eyes can penetrate no far ther than mine, his ears can bear no better, his feet can run no faster, his ‘ life’s enjoyment is no keener. Alex ander T. Stewart, the multimillionaire merchant, said in response to the sug gestion that, being such a successful and weahhy man. he must be a very happy man, "All I get out of the world is my lodging, clothing and board, and. iii view of the stale of my health, the board is very poor.” Cornelius Vander bilt was out one day on a tour»of in- speetion of lus great railroad accom panied by Chnuucoy M. Depew. At about noontime the train was side tracked to give a through train the right of way. Mr. Vanderbilt happened to look out of the window of his draw ing room car and saw one of his own track laborers sitting on the ground and keenly relishing a generous ham sandwich, washing it down with copi ous drafts of coffee. Mr. Vanderbilt turned to Depew and said. “Chauncey. 1 would givt* all of my millions if I could enjoy my meals as that man does bis." Ac that particular time Mr. Vanderbilt’s diet was raw chopped beef and rice. Stephen Girard, the Philadelphia millionaire, once said: “1 do not value money for the mere pleas ure of possessing it. The only purpose 1 have since I made financial success is to work so hard during the day that when night comes 1 may he able to forget my existence in sleep.” In the light of these testimonies I ask you. my hearers, does it pay to gain finan cial prosperity at the expense of your immortal soul? The Rabble of Fame. Fame does uo» assure happiness. A prominent man is the world’s target to be shot at. No matter what his motives and ambition may be. defamation and slander and misrepresentation never tire of haunting his tracks. The giants arc the pygmy’s natural objects for ridi cule. A ground mole has never any re spect for the broad wings of a flying eagle. Daniel Webster, the groat con stitutional lawyer, made this solemn statement: “In my time 1 have often done wrong. I am by no means per fect. Rut before God I can say that for the words I have spoken and the deeds which I have pci formed with thi 1 holiest and the most unselfish and the purest of moiives i have been the most bitUriy assailed. If it were not for the fact that i am trying to live by prn eiple and do my fellow countrymen some good. I w< ’ Id have given up the struggle of public life long ago.” Suc cess may mean great opportunities for usefulness It also means tears and hcariiiehcs and agonies. It means that if you are to accomplish any great good in the world you must also be cut and slashed am! -snaimed The lightnings play upon the rugged heights of a tall mountain far easier than they strike into the valleys below. The bird which Hies nearest to the sun has its wings scorched quicker than the little wood robin cooling its throat by the mountain stream. The songs of the night are the sweetest of all songs. They are the songs sung by a'broken heart. When the man of the text gains a life’s interest in the world by losing his own soul, he unkennels and unleashes the bloodhounds of his lower passions He enters Into a contract with Satan the same as he would sign n promis sory note to hfs creditor. As a mer chant there comes to him a questiona ble proposition. He knows that if he yields great profit will accrue. He knows that if he does what this ques- tionable proposition demands be must practice deceit. He lies awake two or three nights trying to decide whether or no he will be dishonest. At last, in the midnight hour, he yields. He prac tically calls Satan Into his bedroom. While lighting the gas he says: “Now. Satan. 1 am resolved to be dishonest I intend to he a Shylock and demand the full pound of flesh nearest to Antonio’s heart. Give me success, and I am will ing to sell you my soul.” When a man comes to such a decision as that, he naturally lets loose the lower part of bis nature. As a merchant he become* a mere money making machine. As a lawyer who seeks political preferment be becomes an Aaron Burr. taw*rthr Rewards. When he reaches thus for a soldier’s reward, he Is a Benedict Arnold. Then, finding that the worldjf success which be has won at the exp&use of his soul does uqt bring the much sought after happiness, he will let bis evil passion* run a madder riot. He will drown bis sorrows in the drunkard’s cup. He will daxzle himself Into blindness by the hell flame of licentious wtrousal. He will curse sin as a drunkard after suf ferlng the terrors of delirium tremens will curse liquor, and then drink. He will curse sin as the poet cursed it and yet keep on sinning. “Goodby,” 1 said to my consdtnco, "Goodby for aye and aye.” And I put her ha.ida off harshly And turned my face away. And conscience, sorely smitten. Returned ^ot from that day. But a time came when my spirit Grew weary of its pace. And I cried: “Come back, my con science. I Ions to see thy face.” But conscience cried, “I cannot; Remorse alts In ray place.” Now. while titer' is nothing In this world that can be compared In value to ■p immortal soul, my text does not Imply that if a man gives his soul to Christ he aliaII have nothing but pov erty and humiliation, the poorbouse and n potter’s field. The Bible refutes that ides. In the thirty-seventh Psalm we read. “1 have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the right eous forsaken nor his seed begging bread.” The same God who cares for the sparrow and who numbers the hairs of our head will not let bis chil dren want The Divine Father will always see. If we do our duty, that we have enough to eat and to drink, enough to wear aud a place where we can sleep. Every one who ffvea hie soul to Christ will tie able to sing ChauAlug'a symphony. He will have, at least, an opportunity to Hv* content with small meaaa, to seek deganeb rather than luxury, refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not re spectable and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages with open hearts: to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, avail occasions, hurry never— in a word, to let the spiritual, unbid den. grow up through the common. Could happiness demand any greater opportunity to exist than these oppor tunities which are given by God to ail his children who obey him? 1 would that we all might go back more con tented to our everyday, duties of life, no matter what these duties may I*-. Whether they are. in the store, the of fice. the pulpit, the parlor, the nursery or the kitchen it matters not. I would that we would all go the more cheer fully, because the harder our lot iu life the nearer these troubles can bring us to God. When we are friendless and poor and helpless, then God is al ways ready to pour out the measure less wealth of his affections upon us. his suffering children. Wlnit Shull It Profit f A noted London preacher was deliv ering ins sermon in an open field. Up on the outskirts of the audience there halted the carriage of a famous fam ily. Lady Anne Erskine (for that was the name of the occupant) became an absorbed listener. Suddenly the min ister turned and, facing this aristocrat ic beauty-, began to sell her soul, as though she was on the auction block and he was the auctioneer. “My breth ren.” exclaimed the preacher. “I am now going to hold an auction sale, and I bespeak ycur attention for a few mo ments. I have here n lady and her equipage to expose to public sale, but the lady is the principal and the only object that I wish to dispose of at the present time. There are three earnest bidders in the field. The first is the world. Well, and what will you give for her? “I will give riches, honor, pleasure.” That will not do. She is worth more than that, for she will live when riches, honors and pleasures of the world have passed away. You can not have her. The next bidder is the devil.

One bid or the other we must accept. The choice must be made. The decision rests with you. May God help every one of us to decide* aright, "for what shall it profit a man if he should gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” iCopyright. 1902. Louis Klopsch, N.
