rHEIDEALMERCHANT
REV, THOMAS DIXON ON CHRISTIAN?
ITY AND BUSINESS.
External Piety and the Pious Whine-Faith
In the Business World-Legitimate Self
Help-The Knd of Commerce-A Plea
For Unselfishness.
CAPE CHARLES, Va., Aug. 20.-Rev.
Thomas Dixon, Jr., continued today the
series of sermons on "Money and Chris
tianity." The subject of the discourse
of tbe morning was "The Ideal Mer?
chant." Text, Luke xix, 13, "And he
called ten servants of his and gave them
ten pounds ai?d said unto them, Trade
ye herewith till I come."
The merchant's business is the most
obvions and necessary relation of life. It
is ono of the primal powers, original,
necessary, universal.
It is the talent of industry and enter?
prise, a vast system for the relief of in&n
kindandfor the development of the eart h.
It is a vast system for the spiritualiza
tion of matter. And yet it is more light?
ly estimated by the world than the sol?
dier's work, the teacher's work, the phy?
sician's work, or the lawyer's. It is
strange that it should be more lightly es?
timated than the soldier's work at first
glance. Ruskin has most beautiful] y
said on this point that we estimate the
soldier highly not because it is his busi?
ness to slay men, but because it is his
business to be slain. So we estimate all
the professions because of the sacrifice
involved in their pursuit.
So we have despised the merchant be
?eanse, persnmptively, on the principles
of modern political economy his business
has been to look ont for No. 1 solely.
RELIGIOUS EXTERNALS.
Set it is trne that the business of the
merchant is to provide for the nation, as
it is of the soldier's to defend it, the pas?
tor's to teach it, the physician to keep it
in health, the lawyer to enforce justice
and the business of each on due occasion
to die for it.
* We have much to learn in first princi?
ples in so far as the application of Chris?
tianity to business is concerned. Men in
business transactions are afraid of the
pious whine. Nor dowe need to intro?
duce external piety into the house of
business. We do not need to have a
prayer meeting in the storehouse at noon.
A man need not stop in the midst of a
business transaction, as I once knew a
man to do, look at his watch and say to
a customer, "I have got to go and pray."
It is not necessary to introduce the ex?
ternals of a religious life. But it is neces?
sary to make trade Christian in itself,
that it shall be in itself a high and holy
service to humanity.
The work of the true merchant is no?
ble, sacred, and is of the divine plan for
the redemption of the world.
FAITH IN FELLOW MEX.
First-The tame merchant must be a
man of large faith.
He must have faith in man and God
as the foundation of his commercial
world. He could not. run without it 24
hours.
? boom in trade means a boom in faith.
A panic means a lost faith.
High prosperity in the business world
means a large faith in man.
A black Friday means the collapse of
confidence. Our commercial world is
not run by gold and sflveri There is but
little gold and silver in the world, com?
puting the transactions of this world by
the sum total of our currency.
We do not use money, as a matter of
fact. We trade in faith, and the money
tliat we use is a promise to pay. We
have faith in the government. So your
true man of commerce most have faith
in his fellow man.
It is faith that is the basis of enter?
prise, of invention, of all progress. The
western world is alive because it believes
in humanity; believes in progress. It
has hope. The eastern world is dead be?
cause it has lost faith in man. It has no
hope. . Yoitvmay teach the Chinaman
and the Turk to ron a steam engine. He
will do it mechanically. But to give him
the power e? progress you must breathe
into his soul the faiths and hopes of the
western world. He must have an en?
thusiasm for humanity before he will
truly work for it. No faith, no enthusi?
asm.
The true merchant must be a man of
faith in God, in whose hands rest the
storms and the seasons. .
He will keep in perfect peace whose
mind is fixed on His eternal truth. There
will come to him puzzling hours in
which vital problems of business will
press upon his heart, and he will need
the illumination of all God's spirit upon
his own to guide. He will need the flash
of that deeper intuition of right that can
only come from a vital communion with
God.
For lack of faith in the business world
nothing can atone. To the man was
given one talent. He had no faith. He
was afraid. He laft it upon a napkin.
He was condemned by the judge upon
his return.
One of the most successful Italian fruit
dealers I ever knew was a man of the
broadest confidence in his customers.
He gave freely of his fruits, and he indi?
cated in his methods that ho had that
confidence in his customers which led
them to have confidence in him. If his
fruit was not good, he would tell you so*
If his oranges were sour, he would tell
you so unhesitatingly, but told you he
hoped to have some sweeter ones next
week. The people in all the community
grew to know him and to believe in him.
They patronized him. His business grew
apace, and he is a man of prosperity.
A miser was afraid of banks,, and took
his money and wrapped it up in an old
rag, opened the wall of his house and
put it between the walls for safe keep?
ing. A few years afterward when he
exhumed it he found that the rats had
cut it into 10,000 fragments and made
nests of it in various parts of the house.
There was not a single scrap of all his
banknotes left. He lacked faith m man.
INTERESTS ARE IDENTICAL.
Second-A true merchant is one who
helps himself only in helping others.
We must help others if we enter the
world of trade loyally. Otherwise we
play again the role of the man with the
one talent and the napkin. Honesty,
truthfulness, justice, fairness-these
must be our standards of measurement
in seeking to help self. The interests
of his customer is identical with his own.
He should be the friend of his customer.
He should create in one sense his wants,
and suppl;, them with promptness, with
faithfulness-supply them even at a loss
to himself to fulfill his obligations to his
friends.
The true merehant who supplies my
frants is my friend. He brings to me
treasures of art from remote parts of the
world. He brings to my library- the
treasures of books, the ripe fruit of the
choicest minds, and he makes my life
rich in introducing me to these books.
He lays before my eye carpets and rugs
that please the taste, that makes home
beautiful. He furnishes me with desk
and chair that give comfort and make
life more and more of a success. He
brings to my table the choicests fruits
from the remotest corners of the earth,
the delicacies of foreign climes, the treas?
ures of foreign Ceylon. He introduces
to the ?armer and mechanic the ^test in
I vention in machinery, in tools. He
brings to my children the gifts of rings
I and toys, cunningly devised by tli? minds
j of curions peoples. He who thus deals
? with me fairly and justly is my benefae
. tor as well as my friend.
True, such philosophy may be pressed
i beyond the bounds of courtesy when
backed by greed. I am grateful to the
book to which I am introduced, but the
modern book agent has j>erhaps some?
times overstrained the courtesies of the
occasion.
The same great principle holds here
as elsewhere. The helping of self is
legitimate if in helping self we bein
others. The same law must hold for the
merchant that holds for the man who
occupies the more highly esteemed walks
of life. Thev must find self in losing
self.
The physician is hono-ed because of
the implied condition of his willingness
to die, if need be, in the service of man.
The physician really find his highest suc?
cess in the thorough giving^of himself to
humanity. It is not a question of fee
nierejy. It is a question of human serv?
ice, and sometimes his greatest achieve?
ments are those for which no money
compensation is given. A young physi?
cian in England gave his best endeavor
to the case of an old pauper woman. He
cured her of a desperate disease. He was
faithful in his treatment, and the old
soul, believed that the sun rose and set
in that man's heart. His name was ever
on her lips. In lier charitable work, the
wife of Gladstone was brought fn con?
tact with this old woman. She found
out-froin Mrs. Gladstone that they had
a child who was grievously afflicted at
the time. At once the old woman began
to expatiate upon the powers of 7ier doc?
tor. She spoke with such contagious
enthusiasm, with such soul faith, that
Mrs. Gladstone determined to try the
young man. She sent for him. He gave
his life to the chiki as he gave it to the
old pauper woman. The child was cured.
He made his reputation and became the
foremost physician of England.
Ruskin well says: "We must discover
a kind of commerce which is not exclu?
sively selfish, or rather will have to dis?
cover that there never was or can be
any other kind of commerce; that this
which they have called commerce is not
commerce at all, but cozening; that
a true merchant differs a> much from a
merchant according to the laws of mod?
ern political economy as thc hero of th ~a
excursion from Autolycos. They will find
that commerce is an occupation which a
gentleman will every day see more need
to engage in, rather than in the business
of talking to men or slaying them: that
in true commerce, as in true preaching
or true fighting, it is necessary to apply
the idea of occasional voluntary loss.
For sixpences have to be lost as well as
lives, under a sense of duty, that the
market may have its martyrdoms as
well as the pulpit, and trade its hero?
isms as well as war."
CO-OPERATION VERSUS COMPETITION.
Third-The climax of true commer?
cial genius must therefore be to build
prosperity upon the prosperity of the
whole community.
Of the community first in wh*ch he
lives, because that community makes it
possible for him to succeed. Co-opera?
tion, not competition, therefore must be
the end aimed at.
He must build his prosperity upon the
prosperity, not only of his limited com?
munity, but of the whole world, for
trade is univer il in its genius, the first
cord with which God has bound nation
to nation. I am bound with every na?
tion of the world by the ties of the mer?
chant and his commerce.
There are. no aliens in this world of
real trade.
The islander in the sea, who sends the
banana to my child, is my friend and
benefactor.
The African, who gathers the i ven*
and carries it across the desert to make
an ornament for my home or my loved
one, is my brother.
The Chinaman, who. cunningly con?
structs the fireworks which please tho
soul bf the cnild on the Fourth of July
and on the gala nights of our festivals,
he is of my iife.
So also is the Russian, who sends his
robes to make warm the sleigh and the
carriage. Each nation that gives its
tribute to the other's life is thus bound
in that life.
Let us remember, then, that when we
walk the floor of the world's exchanges
we walk on holy ground, and we should
make it sacred unto God.
Let us remember that to violate the
laws of trade is to violate the laws of
God.
To get something for nothing ont of
tb? community is to steal in the last
?^.alysis and to fail in the end. And let
ns remember that the broadest minded
philanthrophy recognizes this sacred
trust. Peter Cooper, Johns Hopkins,
Fairweather and the men of great
wealth whose names will be dear to gen?
erations yet unborn have recognized
this broader truth of the communaVife
and the communal interests and will live
in the hearts and lives of the people
when the millionaires who have gained
for self and lived and died for self shall
be buried in merited oblivion.
The end of commerce is to increase the
well being and happiness of the race. It
is to provide for the nation. And it is a
work that calls for as deep heroics as
the work of defense or the work of
teaching.
Let the men of trade lift up their heads
and remember that their work is high
and holy. It is not for self, but for hu?
manity. Let us believe in on* another
Let us breath the divine breath of faith,
and the shadow of panic will be lifted.
He that seeks to save his life shall lose
it. Let us cast our lot with the race.
Let us be willing to die, and, behold, we
shall all live!
Sparrows Put a Cat tn Flight.
"I have heard much of the courage
and pugnacious spirit of the English
sparrow, but I was a witness of a scene
last Sunday that astonished me," said a
well known McKeesport man.
'.What did you see?"
'.Well," replied the man, 4*I was sit?
ting in a Baltimore and Ohio railroad
train under the shed at the Pittsburg
station on Sunday afternoon when my
attention was attracted to a nearly full
grown cat, which seemed to be ir: a state
of considerable alarm. As yon know, the
train shed is laid on a high stone founda?
tion wall. The cat was running along
the edge of this, and it was being fol?
lowed by half a dozen sparrows, which
seemed bent on picking a quarrel with
it. The cat never once showed fight, but
seenKMl to be directing its attention and
u*ing its best efforts to get to a place of
shelter. Every few feet it would stop
and look over the high wall, as though
trying to get down to the ground. The
birds followed it with angry cries and
compelled it to move on in haste.
Finally it and they passed behind the
news stand and the train just then pulled :
out, and I did not get to see the finish of !
the affair. I never supposed, though,
until I saw it, that th? sparrows, notori?
ous fighters though they are, would
muster up courage to attack and give
chase to one of those hereditary enemies
of the feathered tribe, cats.-McKeesf>ort

Delving Into the Ages of Women Clerk?.
Among the questions asked by the
committee appointed by congress with a
view to reforming the public service is
one in relation to the age of clerks. Ev?
ery person in the departments has been
famished with a list ol Questions inquir
ing into the date of appointment, num?
ber of relatives in office, age, etc. Some
of the chiefs have had the curiosity to
make a study of the answers given by
their lady subordinates. There is no way
of tripping those recently appointed, but
for the old timers a record is extant
which has been produced for compari?
son. It is found that ladies who some IK
or 20 years ago upon the date of their in?
troduction to office declared themselves
in the thirties are now within the 40
limit.
One woman who in her own hand?
writing declared that she was 35 years
of age and secured her place as a sol?
dier's widow 20 years ago, is on record
under the present investigation as being
but 40. When her attention was called
to the discrepancy, she flew into a pas?
sion and told the head of lier ofjfice that
he had better mind his own business.
When the gentleman tried to convince
the lady of uncertain age that it would
be to her interest to tell the truth, she
so far forgot herself as to characterize
him as an impertinent puppy.-San
Francisco Argonaut.
A Caution to All Women.
The little rift within the lute took the
form of a black tatter not long ago, and
a stylishly gotten up and made up wom?
an whose hair had the tint most desira?
ble, whose cape was lined with lavender
satin, and whose gown had the three
rows of trimming prescribed by fashio:.,
walked down Main street with a con?
scious air which said, "I am the admired
of all admirers," while the black tattered
bit of cloth hit her heel at every step in
ugly contrast to the airy gown above it.
Perhaps it was the result of an accident,
a skirt caught while entering a car, or
the like, but t was a caution to all wom?
en to not neglect the underskirt while
trimming the outside, as that which is
intended to be covered may become the
most conspicuous garment worn. Dress
braid is only a little part of one's ap?
parel, but it may mar the looks of a
handsome outfit if neglected.-Spring?
field (Mass.) Graphic.
What Gems Will Do.
Sapphire produces somnambulism and
impels the wearer to all good works.
Catseye is considered by the Cinga?
lese as a charm against witchcraft.
Moonstone has the virtue of making
trees fruitful and of curing epilepsy.
Emerald promotes friendship and con?
stancy of mind.
Crystal induces visions, promotes
sleep and insures good dreams.
The Burmese believe that the ruby
ripens like fruit.
Agate quenches thirst and if held in
the mouth allays fever.
Coral is a talisman against enchant?
ments, thunder, witchcraft and the per?
ils of flood and field.
A bouquet composed of diamonds,
loadstones and sapphires combined ren?
ders a person almost invincible and
wholly irresistible.
When You Train a Dog, Remember.
When you train a fine dog, remember
that training means a course of teaching
and waxing, and not a course of bullying
and beating. Remember that doggie is
as proud to have fine accomplishments
as you can possibly be to have him possess
them. Be patient with the faithful fel?
low and reward him plentifully. "He
will show that he appreciates it.-New
York Ledger.

Are You Going to the World's
Fair ?
If so, see timi your ticket reads via Cin?
cinnati aud the C H. ? I), and Monon -the
acknowledged ' Worlds Fair Route."
The only line out of Cincinnati connecting
with E T. V & G. and Q. & C. traiu No. 2^,
I arriving Cincinnati 10:30 P. M. A solid
train carrying through sievers from Jackson?
ville, Savannah, Birmingham, Atlanta, Chat- '
tanooga, Macon and New Orleans via E. T.
V. & G., Q. & C, C. H. ? D. and Monon
Route to Chicago.
You can stop over in Cincinnati if your
ticket reads via tbe C. H. k D. and Monon
Route, by depositing same with the Merchants'
and Manufacturers Association, Chamber of
Commerce Building, corner, of Fourth and
Vine Streets, one block from Fountain Square
(the C. H.&D ticket office is in the same
building.) This enables you to visit the
pictunsque "Queen City" at no additional
cost, ar.d special efforts ?ill be made to enter?
tain strangers hospitably and reasonably.
The universal verdict of the traveling pub?
lic is ?hat the Pullman Safety Vestibuled
traius, running every day. ''and Sunday
too," via the C. H. & U. and Monon, between
Cincinnati Indianapolis ?nd Chicago, are
without doubt the -'finest on earth." These
trains were especially built by ?be Pullman
Company for this service, aud embrace every
improvement. Their magnificent coaches,
luxurious smoking cars, superb sleepers, ob
servatiu cars, compartment sleeping cars and
unexcelled dining car service, afford "all the
comforts of .home."
Leaving Cincinnati you pass through the
beautiful Miami Valley, and for twenty-live
miles the double tracks run through the very
front door yards of the finest suburban
homes in the country. Beyond Hamilton and
up to Indianapolis, the line is noted for its
scenic beauty.
A stop over at Indianapolis, the capital of
Indiana, may be obtained by depositing your
ticket with the Secretary of the Commen?ai
Club. This city is more worthy of a visit
than almost any other of its size in the West,
and offers the greatest inducements to travel?
ler and tourist. Between Indianapolis and
Chicago the line traverses the very best ngri
cultural and commen?ai territory, and the
j ride is one of unparalleled comfort and
beauty.
Bear in miud that thc C. H. & D. aud M:<
? on Route trains ?Il run via Burnside Cros;
ing, from which point the Illinois Central
suburban trains run direct to the World's
Fair Grounds every moment. At Englewood
connection is made with the electric cars,
which run every five minutes to the grounds,
but we recommend all person* to go directly
into the Dearborn Station, which is located
in the heart of the city and from
which all street car lines converge, then go
directly4>y car or cab to your hotel or board?
ing place. First locale yourself; know
where and how you ate to live while in Chi?
cago, (iel the locality firmly fixed in your
mind, before going to the World's Fair by
any of the numerous convenient ways ; cable
I cars, electric ro?ds, elevated railroad, Illinois
! Central Ii. lt., suburban trains and the steam?
boats afford 'ample accommodations for all
possible visitors, and it is bul five minutes
rtdeTrom the business portion ot the city to
the grounds. Take your breakfast down
town, buy your lunch at the grounds, and
take your supper down town. If you will
follow these suggestions you will save money.
The facilities for serving lunch at the World's
Fair Grouudi are extraordinary and thc
prices are cheaper than at your . wn home,
