King’s Creek, 8. C., Jan. 20,10o:. w Early Risers Thd tamous Uttto pUto* Chicago, Feb. l r ». — In this sermon the preacher deals with the widely prevalent vice of running into debt as a result of social and domestic extrav agance and a false standard of living and arraigns willful debt as the cause of manifold miseries. The text is Ro* maos xlii, 8, ’ Owe no man anything.” One day a famous scholastic clergy man was talking to 11 noted practical preacher. “How is it,” said he, “that you can collect such great audiences to hear you preach? I have one of the best private libraries in the world. I spend at least ten hours a day in my study with my books, and yet the peo ple prefer to hear you preach instead of me. They want to hear your ser mons. although you do not work a (bird as hard upon them as I do. Half of your days are spent in calling and in wandering about the streets and in the stores.” “Ah,” answered the prac tical minister to ins scholastic friend, “the difference between us is that you read books, while I study the stuff out of which books are madg. You breathe the atmosphere of musty tomes; I, by close association, study the hearts of the men and women with whom I come in contact. You translate epitaphs of •lead men; I analyze the troubles and temptations and sins of living men; 1 sit with them at the table; I go with them into their stores; then, when I begin to discuss their trials and temp tations. they naturally want to come and hear me preach.” Paul was a practical minister and not one famed for mere intellectual at tainments. His rostrum was more of ten the ropemaker’s bench than the synagogue’s pulpit. As a practical gos pel physician he in my text today diag noses one of the most distressing mor- ul diseases of the human race. He saw that the men and women of Ids time were living beyond their means and struggling in the quicksand of debt just as many people are doing in the twentieth century; therefore he gave in his Roman epistle the same advice that Horace Greeley once wrote: “Nev er run into debt. Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, suspicion, unjust reproach, are disagreeable, but debt is intinitely worse than them all. Avoid pecuniary obligations as you would a pestilence or famine. If you have not more than 50 cents and can get no more for a week, buy a peck of corn, parch it and live on it rather than owe any man a dollar.” “Owe no man anything.” That means in John Randolph’s inter- pretation of the philosopher’s stone, "pay as you go.” That means that if you have no money with which to sat isfy your personal desires then let them be unsatisfied. Allow no creditor as a jailer to rivet a heavy iron ball of iinancinl obligation to your limbs. Do not buy a feathered singer uuiess at the same time you have money to pur chase a cage in which to let your song ster abide. Drill (In* Ofl'nprinK of Prl«l«*. Debt is generally the offspring of pride. The bare necessaries of life are very" small. Nearly every man can make enough money to provide for these necessaries if lie will only work bard, do Ills best and not waste his in come on useless extravagances. Henry Ward Beecher once made the declara tion that a man could feed himself and wife and a family of growing children upon $1.50 per week. For making this statement Mr. Beecher was sharply ar raigned by thousands of critics. Many newspaper editorials aftirmed that the Flymoutli pastor was advocating the reduction of the laborers’ salaries to 25 cents a day. He was not attempting any such tiling. What Mr. Beecher tried to prove was this: The bare nec essaries of life are very small; there fore most people can provide for their actual needs if they will only be ener getic and at the same time be frugal. But this frugality, in many cases, pride will not permit them to practice. Bride, with the smiling, supercilious face and bediamonded linger, usually comes to the young man’s home with such insinuating words us these: “My friend, you have no right to rear your family as you are doing. You should not allow your wife to stand behind a counter or to live in the back room of the store with her two babies, as your mother once did. This is a different age from that in which your father started out. If you do not let your children grow up in a respectable neighborhood and go to refined and ex pensive private schools, then their youthful associates will be bad, and refined people will have nothing to do with them.” So the young man, who was making a humble income and was on the highroad to ultimate financial success, hires a private home on the boulevard. He moves his family away from the neighborhood of his store. He hires a clerk to do the work for merly done by his wife, while he him self is fisiting the wholesale depart ments. The income, small before, be comes less and less; tbe expenses of the family sustenance are doubled and quadrupled; a haunted, worried, anx ious look comes over the young man’s face, instead of there being a balance in the bank, now there Is a deficit; in stead of the wholesale stores allowing the young man all the credit he wishes, now they begin to push him. and one day Debt, the offspring of Bride, calls at the store to see how the young man Is getting a.' ng. but Instead of Dele now coming with the obsequiousness cf a vls'to- ho stiid^s lino tint young man's store and home with the mien and the heavy step of a tyrant and a master. Then I see Debt call out to a veiled figure who is standing in the dodrway. He says: "Come in, mother, come in. You need not be afraid; come in.” Then the female figure throws back the veil from off her head, and 1 see that j she is the old hag Bride, with a paint- 1 ed, with -ed, sneering, scornful face. Then Debt takes Mother Bride through ' tin* aisles of the store and through tbe | rooms of the young man's home as he says: "Mother, these goods—they will soon all be mine. Those pictures upon the walls, and those carpets upon the floor, those dishes in the closets—they shall soon all he mine, and I will make the young man drop his life insurance policy when he dies. I will literally strip his widow of everything. Aha, that young man did not realize what a keen, shrewd, farseeing, Satanic plan ner I could be when I told him to in crease his outgo over his financial in come. I am well worthy to be called thy child, mother. 1 carry misery and woe wherever I go." Sucli is nearly always the outcome of every man’s life when Bride and Debt go hand in hand and are allowed to sit down by the domestic fireside. The Tyranny of Debt. This tyranny of debt, which is the offspring of false pride, makes its con quests over those who. have large in comes as well as those with small. Only the other day there was buried in one of Chicago’s cemeteries a man who for ten years had a salary of over $9,000 per year. Y’et that man was al ways in debt. While he had an in come of $2,500 he was trying to live on the scale of those who had a $5,000 in come. When he was appointed a gen eral superintendent of a large corpora tion, at $l>50 per month salary, he im mediately moved his family into a new neighborhood and tried to associ ate with Chicago's millionaires. That man, when he died, did not own the home he lived in. He did not even own the bed on which he died. Every parti cle of real estate held in his name was plastered over with mortgages. Last fall he even allowed his life Insurance policy to lapse because he could not af ford to pay the few hundred dollars necessary to keep it up, though he had a salary of $9,000 per year. So we find today that many a man who lives in a fine mansion is in the merciless clutch of debt. The financial curse of this age is that multitudes of people, on account of false pride and pernicious extravagance, are eking out a misera ble existence. These people may move in the best society, so called, yet they are far poorer than the humble clerk with a paltry salary of $10 a week who saves at least one-tenth of his in come. Debt is not only the offspring of pride, but is often the parent of a large family <»f criminal children. The study of genealogical tables is among the most interesting of studies. Cer tain families nearly always have good children; you can trace them down from generation <0 generation. Other families nearly always have had chil dren: there is apparently something in their blood that is diseased and cou- taminuted. As the waters falling down tin* cascades near Duluth show the dis colorations contracted in passing through forests of cedar and tamarack miles away, so the blood of rorno chil dren is tainted with criminal tenden- ei«*s. inherited even before they are born. They are born with a propensity for lying, for stealing, for inebriety, which they are seldom able to eradi cate. But. though those children may not be able to overcome their evil tend encies in their own strength, they can overcome them by the help of a super natural power, which is offered to all who are tempted. Willfull) KauiiliiK lulo Debt. Willful debt is that kind of debt into which many allow themselves to run through useless and sinful extrava- ganees. While the young man is being financially ground to pieces by the up- P'*r and nether millstones of this kind of debt what is often the most natural thing for him to do? Ask that young collector wiio is taking some of his employer’s money to win, as he fool ishly thinks, a fortune at the gambler's wheel. He is not at heart a had young man. He intends to pay that money back. He expects to use it only for a little while and then return it with In terest after he has escape! from the clutches of merciless debt. Ask that young embezzler who has just felt the heavy hand of the law placed upon his shoulder. Did he ever expect that the lute suppers, the theater tickets and the attendance at the races would yet end In a prison cell? No, no! He was led as a lamb to the slaughter by the evil worryings of debt, accumulating debt. Ask that wildcat speculator In Wall street. Did he ever think for one moment that he would lose the estate confided to him In trustee form when he began to run into debt? No, no! These men are being destroyed by debt In the same way that tbe learned Lord Bacon was led to accept bribes. They are being lured to destruction as Bene dict Arnold was lured when his debts drove him to embark in the plot to de stroy West Point. The bloodhounds of debt had barked at his heels ever since his Philadelphia extravagances, and his debts not only made him a traitor against his creditors, but at the last they made him a traitor against his country. Crookedness, gambling, wildcat spec ulation and a betrayal of one’s best friends are often found among tbe mal formed offspring of a hideous parent. Debt. But without doubt the greater number of the childreu of this infa mous progenitor are those with the fa tal marks of perjury stamped, Caln- Hke, upon their brow. “Lying always rides upon Debt’s back” once wrote Benjamin Franklin. ‘The second vice is lying; the first is running Into debt.” When a man needlessly and willfully 11111 i Into dent i'P opens the sluice gates of falsehood. He professes his willing- i i.ess to clasp hands with deception and deceit. The debtor says to his creditor, i have uo money this morning, but I will pay you next week.” His words are false; he has no intention of pay ing next week. The debtor says: “I am now trying to sell some land. The deal is almost closed: then I will send you a check." The debtor knows he Is a falsifier; lie has no land to sell. One of the dearest friends I ever had by this curse of running into debt be came a moral degenerate. He went to another friend and borrowed $(500 and gave as security some cattle which he professed to own at that time in Kan sas. In fact, he did not own a horn or a hoof In all the world. So the perjury habit, which is often the offspring of debt, will creep into a man's heart as a worm tunnels its way into the heart of a great tree and leaves there noth ing but death and corruption and filth. “All liars shall have their part In the lake which burnetii with fire and brim stone, which Is the second death.” Be ware, O man, how you nourish this de stroying child of perjury, which is of ten the offspring of accursed Debt! Ifeliileti.H and Innocent Victims. Willful Debt is the fiend who cares not how many helpless and Innocent victims lie may destroy in his own an nihilation. The pirates of old used to raise their black flags and prey upon the ancient shipping. The robbers of Scotland used to place false lights upon the shores so that the ships would be decoyed upon the rocks and the wreckers could collect the broken car goes. The man who willfully runs into debt is a human vampire who is suck ing the lifeblood out of his butcher and baker, Ids tailor and landlord, bis friend and Ids enemy alike. He cares not how he gets money so long as he gets it. He cares not who has to suf fer so long as his present desires are satisfied. What is the natural and in- evitable result? There have been thou sands of small retail merchants driven into bankruptcy because their custom ers, supposed to be honorable men, would not pay their bills. There have been hundreds and thousands of poor widows and orphans and aged and helpless depositors of small sums in the banks who have lost all merely be- enuse the cashiers have become de faulters ami eared not whom they dragged down with them in their own moral and spiritual destruction. It is a contemptible act for a man to steal from a millionaire. It is infinitely meaner for a woman to steal from her poor dressmaker, her cook or her wash erwoman. or for a man to rob his gro- corymnn or Iceman or his coachman or the gardener who sells to him his flow ers. It is meaner because those who are robbed under such circumstances must perhaps lose their all and be driven to starve and die. But if it is flendlike for the willful debtor to steal from ids butcher and baker, how much more criminal is It for him to destroy the spiritual and moral life of his own children! There is many a man who is rearing his chil dren after the exalted style of a mil lionaire’s children, who when he dies will leave to them not one cent. In other words, he is instilling into the hearts of ids hoys and girls unnatural desires, and then, when he is gone, those boys and girls, in order to grati fy those desires, may be led to plunge into a life of dissoluteness ami crime. To Illustrate. I would introduce to you a young man who was once a compan ion of my youth. lie was the son of the president of a large life insurance tompany in the east. He came to my home some time ago. “Why, Joe,” I said to him. “I have not seen you for years. Where did you come from?” “From poverty and want and drunken ness and fwm nowhere,” he answered gloomily. “I have come to you for help. Will you help me?” What was the cause of that young man’s downfall? The extravagant life his father led and the life he allowed ids childreu to lead. While that hoy was growing up he could have anything ho wanted that money <-ould buy. His father sent him 011 pleasure trips across the sea and willingly paid all his bills; then, when Ids father died, Joe and his sisters were helplessly stranded. They had the tastes and desires of millionaires; they had the empty pockets of paupers. Breparations for such tragedies are be ing enacted todaj - by selfish men all round the world. As long as these wickedly foolish fathers can satisfy their present wants they care not what may become of their children after they are gone. Every wise father should teach his children that the red breasted oriole of gold has wings swift er than the winds. When it is gone, it is very hard to overtake and to bring back. He should train each child to be able to earn a livelihood independent of any money be may bequeath to that child. A Well Dre»aetl Villain. Willful Debt Is often a well dressed villain who pretends to be an honest man. In olden times If a man could not pay his debts be was looked upon In the same sense ns a thief and sent to jail. Under the old Roman law, after spending a certain time In jail, if he was still unable to pay his creditors, he was sold into slavery and had to pass his life as a serf. Some on< might say that such a condition is very hard and unjust, and so it is. But, in many eases, when a man will deliberately enter a store and run up a heavy bill, which he has no intention of paying, he is just as much a robber as the sneak thief who rushes into tbe bakery and steals a loaf of broad, and he should have little mercy shown to him. The debtor not only steals the grocery man’s goods, but he steals his time and his service. Many a man who for years has de liberately mu up all the debts lie can is today walking around our street* claiming that in the sight of the law he is honest After deliberately swin dling all the men be could ho puts the Utile money he had left In his wife’s name. Then lie enters the bankruptcy court and asks the judge to free him fm :i all, these financial obligations. Ne v, i care not what the bankruptcy court may say in such cases, no houest man, in the sight of God or man, can ever be morally freed from a financial debt until that debt Is paid. It is a man’s business to pay what he owes, no matter how the bill was contracted. One of the first signs of Zacchaeus’ real conversion was when he turned to the Saviour and said, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation I restore to him fourfold.” lu other words he said. "If I have cheated any man out of his just dues. I am ready not only to re store to him the full amount of money taken, hut I will restore to him double and treble and quadruple that which I have taken.” And no man, in the sight of God, can be a Christian until be first signifies his intention to repay to the utmost of his ability ail the money borrowed by him and to cancel his full obligations to every one of ids financial creditors. You cannot love God and at the same time signify a willingness to cheat your fellow men. It is told of Daniel Webster that James T. Field, the famous publisher, when a young clerk, was sent to col lect a bill from the great constitutional lawyer. Mr. Webster turned to him and said: “Young man. I have no mon ey. I never can pay my debts. What is the good of your coming around and bothering me? See, here is my money drawer: there is nothing In it.” With that Mr. Webster opened the drawer, and, lo, revealed within was a big roll of banknotes! Mr. Webster’s face light ed up with a look of great surprise. “Well, well!” he said. “There is some money. I wonder where it came from? Young man. help yourself.” With that Mr. Webster turned his back upon young Field and buried his face In a lawbook. Mr. Field helped himself, signed a receipt and left the room, and Mr. Webster did not look up for one moment to see what he was doing. Daniel Webster may have been a great statesman, but lie was not a business man. He had no more right to ignore his creditors like that than he had to sell his vote in the United States sen ate. And before God and man we have no right to run up a lot of bills which we have no intention of canceling. “Owe no man anything” wrote the greatest preacher who ever lived. That means pay your butcher and baker bills and rent just as faithfully as you ought to pay for your church pew or your dues to the missionary societies. \ Pertinent QueNtlon. In clooing i would like to ask my hearers a pertinent question—Is not the chief reason why you are unwilling to publicly profess Christ because you have not been living right with your feljow men and trying to pay your hou est debts? Dr. Wilbur Chapman, I think it was. once told this incident in a great evangelistic meeting. For some weeks there was among the audience to whom he had been preaching a man who would not confess Christ. Dr. Chapman could not understand why. But one night this man came to his hotel room and said: “Doctor, is there help for me? I am a defaulter. 1 sioic so many thousand dollars from my employers many years ago. They have never found it out. What shall 1 do?” Dr. Chapman told the man to go back to ins old employers and to confers, and fully confess, what he had done. Then Dr. Chapman told that man to give up all his property to liquidate part of the debt ami to pledge himself to pay hack the balance as soon as he could. The man did as he advised. In tryhig to undo the past wrong he removed the obstacle which had kept him from realizing that Christ was ready to forgive him. My friends, is the awful realization that you have lu'en financially unjust to your fellow men keeping you away from the love of Christ? Will you not try to undo that wrong? Will you not follow the’ command of Paul, who tells us to “owe no man anything.” the same Paul who tells us to “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God In Christ Jesus?” it may only take a small speck of dust in the eye to blind the sight and shut out the fight of the noontide sun. It may only take one bill which we refuse to pay to our neighbor to shut out all tbe glories of heaven. Paul does not ask of us an impossibility, but he does demand that we, one and all. should not only love God with all our souls, but also love our fellow meu enough to be financially just to them as well as merciful. [Copyright, iPOC. by Louis Klopsch.] General llootli u Vegetarlun. Few people are aware that General Booth, head and founder of the Salva tion Army, is a pronounced vegetarian. In years he has eaten neither fish, flesh nor eggs, says the Cincinnati Commer cial Tribune. Even butter, milk or vegetables cooked with fat are denied. His diet is solely upon cereals, boiled rice being largely his sustenance. He occasionally eats rice for breakfast, dinner and supper and then enters upon the same diet the next day. A member of the army said recently: “General Booth believes in his body. Yet meats and strong drinks be heart ily despises. He will not smoke, be cause he realizes that he has a nervous system that must be protected. He will not drink, partly from principle and partly because he realizes that for every stimulation there is un equal and consequent reaction. He is a vegetarian not merely because he believes that primitive mankind—Adam and Eve of the Bible—were vegetarians, but be cause, after a long practical trial, he finds himself far younger than his years while the mortal parts of most men, who laugh at what they call his crnnklness, are like John Brown's body —tt-moldering n the grave.” LOWER COUNTY LOCALS.

In looking over tbe proceedings of the legislature, as reported by the daily papers, we were much imnrese- ed with Senator But.'er’s amendment to the child labor bill which we think by all means ought to have passed. But it was voted down. In our opinion the amendment was worth more than all the rest of the original bills put together. For able-bodied men to be loafing around, playing cards, drinking whis key and otherwise making themselves burdens to their families and nui sances in tbe communities in which they live by their downright “cussed ness,” is enough to call for just such legislation as Mr. Butler wished to put into that bill. The amount of ignorance prevail ing in this country and still spread ing is actually alarming and no one is to blame for it more than the parents themselves We like to see legislators rise above sentiment and strike for the best interests of their constituents regardless ol whom it pleases or dis pleases.
