Chicago, May 4.—In this sermon,
preached by the Rev. 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.

But a time came when my spirit
Grew weary of its pace.
And I cried: “Come back, my con
science.

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

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

on the outskirts of the audience there
halted the carriage of a famous fam

the name of the occupant) became an
absorbed listener. Suddenly the min

though she was on the auction block
and he was the auctioneer. “My breth

worth more than that, for she will live
when riches, honors and pleasures of
