"I ?ave informed the American Press

present series I will no longer furnish
my sermons for publication. I have two
reasons for this: I am not yet 30 years

in study before writing more. Besides,
with my present methods of work and
study I find the method of advance prep?

Court of Honor,"the next to the last in
the series of the "Prophecies of the
World's Fair.,,r"The text chosen was
from I Corinthians iii, 21, -"All things
are yours."
But twice before- in my lit? have I
been so profoundly moved as when I
stood for tiie first time within "The

I stood on the lofty summit of a grand
mountain peak and MM:4>w? upon

THE COURT OF HONOR.
Julian Hawthorne has most beauti
? fully described that scene: "The pale
^gilded dome of the Administration
building, the ranged columns of the
peristyle, the pinnacles and the Diana
; dome, with the golden goddess floating
above it and forever aiming her arrow
at the wind's eye; the mighty statue of
tho republic, majestic with her uplifted
- arms and, severe drapery, dominating
the eastern end of the lagoon* and the
wnrtelipfer?ai o? tl??rgreat fon nt mn at
the other extremity, with that ravish?
ing figure of Liberty sitting divinely
erect in her chair on fte poop, of the
barge, lier eight maiden gondoliers o?r

to the tiller, and Progress alights on the

make an en in our national aesthetic

people in the knowledge and love of

epoch."
"ALL THINGS ABB YOURS. "
leonid but feel the clash between
this scene of peace and beauty and glo?
ry and the actualities of Gie business
world the walls of these palaces cover?
ed. Will this great Court of Honor ever

Or ia the eta^?un^re?aihfe a?dfiope? \
less between the divine and the rush for
P gain? s
"AUtbings are yours, " even business,
and the business world, andi a business
career, and ? nosiness life. Yet the
more I see of modem business, as trans?
acted today, ftytjfpr 1M?K? me
1 nearer have to enter into a business
' transaction that ca?a me into direct
touch with ti? supreme spirit of our
aa?tt%?a|yiiijwJal rife, as at present
conducted, tiwt''it does not make me
heartsick. I feel, when through with
it, as if I wanted to get off somewhere
in a desert and scratch out a cave in
the aide of a hill and live on herbs in a
simpler, honest life. If there is in any \
man's mind a doubt a? to whether tho
modern spirit of successful business is
in harmony with the spirit of Jesus
Christ, ail he has to do is first to know
what Jesus Christ taught, and then go
with that spirit in his heart into your
modern refrigerator of a thoroughly up
to date^^wn ?R?k?Jmk winate busi?
ness transaction.
J? a successful business of today afield
in which a true Chri&iai, desiring pie
highest and noblest things, cern enter and
hope to succeed, and af the same time
hold his Christian integrity f
Does the Court of Honor rule our busi?
ness world?
To answer that question you must ask j
another.
First-What is CTiristianity? It is i
sacrifice and the spirit of sacrifice.
Jesus said if a man would save his
life, let him lose it. That is the cardi?
nal principle of Jesus Christ.. / That is
the first and last principle of Christian?
ity. Jeans lived that and died it. He ]
sought no powerful friends. He made j
none, -fie had na nome in which to lay j
his head. He accumulated no wealth.
He had no army to follow him. He
wrote no book. He made no creed; He
gathered a few simple fishermen about
him, who were disciples, adherents, fol?
lowers in Hie, in heart, in purpose, and
he laid down his life, judging from a .
modem business point of view, an abso?
lute f airare. He only rived 38 years,
and he threw away every opportunity
he had of a successful career. He might
have put himself at the head of an ar
my ?i?cl conquered ?he ancient fc?ngtl
of the Jews and thrown off the tri
yoke of a Roman and kingly tyrann]
lie had but so desired. . He threw f]
opportunity away again and again,
might haye been wealthy, if be I
used his rnagnifieent powers to accun
late wealth. S^night" have had1
great and powerful as his friends, I
when^?o?p?e came to ero^ him a
make WSn thejgleader he escaped. A
?di?d a mwf miserable dear h, air
mock and jeer and scorn of his ?
mies, crar^fed^ between two thiers
[ 'with noVagrave that he could cadi 1
i own, his very .clothes stripped from 1
. body, dying thus outside the walls
Jerusalem, a miserable felon, desert
by his disciples, disowned by all w!
knew him except a few faithful wome
Thatis the kind of life he lived. That
what he meant when he said, "If a in;
would save his life, let him lose it, ai
if he would find it let him lay it down,
WHAT FAITH IS.
The second principle of Christiani
is what we call faith-the power to I
: lieve in something-to believe in Gi
and in man, our brother, the image
God. The next principle is that
love-love to God and man. That is
be ? ?&r???a!S*a?^
1 take it from the definitions of Jesu
from his life and character and fro:
his recorded word.
Second-What is business-moder
successful business-today? In the fir
place, it rests upon the antithesis <
sacrifice. Sacrifice represents one pol
business the other pole, and the diffrr
once that separates them is a gulf ?
?deep and wide and as impassable as-tt
.gulf that separates heaven from bel
The first principle of year modern im
ness world is war, competition, bru?
fight-every man for himself. It w ti
strongest arm titat wins, and the weakei
tees are trampled to the earth and kille
and beaten without mercy. War an
pestilence are the only hope to r?galai
our population, according to the princ:
j pies of this modern business work
.Toe brutal survive, while the weak pei
tab. What is to become of this vast ai
my of weaklings? Well, ourMalthusia
philosophers say: "We will have a pei
thence by and by, and God will sen
as the cholera. Or if not God in b:
goodness and m ercy will send us a wai
and war will thin the ranks, and th
battle will' begin again. After th
..weaklings have been eliminated tb
world will not be sb crowded, and w
can proceed." ??
. Suca is the -basis on which moder
commerce rests. In this battle, thi
war, this madness, this struggle, th
very competition which has been calle*
the Ure of trade is its defeat. For yoi
have only to press competition to a ?ez
tain period when men who are fightinj
each other know they must combine o
die. Only press your competition fa
enough, audit is either suicide or com
hination. This firings into your world
governed hythaf principle, infinite con
fusion, for when that defeats itself an<
no new system takes its place the result ii
chaos-cheating, lying,swindling,steal
jug?, crime, intemperance, suicide, de
spair. Why do men open saloons and sel
whisky ? Why, because they have accept
ed this modera principie of tile moderr
world that the strongest maa fe the max
that is worthy to survive; that it is s
battle, a war, and he who is victorious
is the man who is crowned, let the busi?
ness be wt A ft may. Hence the gam?
bler, who does not hesitate ?bout hie
methods, saying that might constitutes
the first principle of your modem
world. Batty facts these are. living hi
the business world-so much there is oi
it ID all trades! Overreaching is what
thousands of men are after in the busi?
ness world. Tb overreach a man and
get the better of him by some trick; to
get ont of him more than we give in re?
turn. That is the sum total of the pur
pose of some lives. If in war a man is
wounded, you pass him by. Most heart?
less of ali things in the world is your
modern business war. When a man fall
by the wayside in modern business, the
world bas np mercy, no heart, no ear to
pity, no arm to save. That is modern
Christianity a? certainly in deadly
.conflict with that sort of life-succtss
ful business with modern methods down
to date. There are business men who*
are honest. There aro men who have
set out in the world with the determi?
nation to make honor and truth and the
good of society theil aim, and they have
grown wealthy,som? of those men. They
have grown powerful. Now, that being
a fact, the man who departs from that
law and says that be can justify him?
self on the grounds of success has be?
lieved a lie that ho may damn himself
in the process. There are men today
whoso business career is absolutely
above reproach. I might mention a
thousand successful businjess enterprises
that have been founded th as on integri?
ty. So mach the worse for the success
that may be otherwise. But, a man
says, the quickest way to get riela
well, you do not have to be too consci?
entious. Now and then just shat one
eye, and then you will reach the high?
est things by the most rapid process. Of
course when you get your money you can
db a great deal of good with it. Right
may fail for a moment today, but it is
certain to rise tomorrow. Men that are
shrewd and cunning, men that are will?
ing to lie and be unfair and dishonest,
may get theil riches for awhile, but as
lure as there is a God in heaven it will
turn to ashes at last in their grasp.
Christianity is today the real power
that rules this world. You think the
devil is ruling it on the top, but Chris?
tianity is the real power that rules it
beneath the surface. ?Some years ago
in Paris money was flowing like water,
and it was rumored around among pol?
iticians that ail one had to do was tb
shut one eye and open the other, and he
would bo rich in a minute. There is
plenty of money in the world ; why not
you have a little? The press is on our
side. You can make a million as easily
as snap your finger, iso tney reasoned,
and'this man fell and that. Nobody
knew anything about it. Millions flow?
ed in every possible direction. Men
high in position succumbed to it. Well,
they succeeded, invested their millions.
They had their money and their day,
D?t the day of wrara came atlast. A
now poor weeping France looks on, a
one great man falls and another and a
other. And the poor little fool that w
in the assembly that day and said:
believe in old fashioned honor and i
tegrity, and I will not have yonr rhone
I will vote as my conscience dictates"
he was described as a fool and an i di
then, but now he is the only man th
can hold his head up and look the woz
squarely in the face.
The great principles of right ai
truth are those that really are gnidii
and directing the world. Every dont
ful business in this world could be s we
from the face of the earth, and tl
earth would be richer. Whenever m<
ask you to enter into a successful bus
ness transaction, remember that th
world can do without that transacts
and be the better for it, and you hi
better let it alone. It is not the easie
way, this way of Christian life, ;
against this modern business metho
bnt it is the only, true way. Christiai
in the past had a hard time to liv
then they died. They were put to deal
in the arena. They marched over bun
ing plowshares. The Christian man t
day can live better, easier, with le
sacrifice called forby modern life, tha
ever before in the history of the worh
And the man that says, "I cannot Iii
today unless I do these tilings, '* simp]
lies. Is the business world in conflit
with Christianity? So much the wors
for the business world. The curse (
God-a living, withering, blastin
curse-is on that society, on that con
merce that makes success possibl
against truth and right and honor.
HONEST WORK SACRED.
"All things are yours," and becauf
the business world is a legitimate fiel
for a Christian its obligations are higl
It is yours; but, precisely because it ii
it is holy ground. The merchant tha
sits at his desk is doing as sacred a worl
when honest in his transactions and deal
ings, as I do when 1 am here at thi
desk before you on Sunday. The laboi
er at his anvil, the farmer who hold
his plow, every workingman that doe
his work unto the Lord, is doing a sa
cred work. His shop, his office, hi
place of business, is as sacred as th
high altar of God-to him, for God call
ed him there to he the high priest. Bot
you say, what is the use to be honest
People love to be humbugged. Bul
my friend, for your own sake, be hon
est. Most people, take them ail in ail
have a large streak of fool in them
They will run after special bargain
and sales. For your own heart and Hf
he honest Yon do not fool yourelf, an<
when you marie your goods to fool til?
people and to rope in the unwary yoi
know in yourself you have degrade*
yourself. You have sold your own sou
out to the devj 1 in the process. Be han
est and avoid every manolo in th<
process of the business world seeas U
coin money out of other people's blood
I am done with bargains, sheriff's sah
and bankrupt clothing establishments,
If yon support those establishments, yoi
are trading in the blood of broker
hearts and homes, for it took good, hare
labor to make those goods, and if thej
are sold at less than it costs to make
them you are buying the price of good
hearts' blood. As for the man that cai
undersell another man and make it pos?
sible to undersell by cheating clerks and
giving small wages and making them
work their lives out-I would rather gc
to a man that gives his clerks honest
salaries. The time may come in your
life when adversity may be yours, and
your loved ones are thrown on this great
vulgar labor market of the world, and
in your own flesh and blood others can
trade in dollars and cents. If you get
what are called bargains today, it means
somebody's heart is broken-somebody
else has paid for it too high a price.
SOULLESS CORPORATIONS.
I do not want anything to do with
business transactions where the princi?
ples that are used are such that an indi?
vidual would not touch. We have
.corporations. A distinguished man
died some years ago in New York city,
the soul of honor in every personal
transaction. His servants stood weep?
ing by the door when he died. He did
not owe a cent Everything was paid
for ia cash. He said : " Do not owe your
workingman a cent It is dishonest to
keep his wages from him, unless you
pay hint1 interest on it-pay him
promptly. " But he was at the head of
a gigantic corporation that held a mo?
nopoly and made his fortune out of the
lives of a community that were ground
in the process. And when men ap?
proached him he said, "I am honest in
all my transactions, but a corporation
bas got no soul. " God does not call cor?
porations to account. The devil does not
call them to account. They have no
soul. They will even cheat the devil.
Bat God does call the individuals that
constitute the corporation to account.
God will call to account all the persons
involved in the conduct of that business.
Individuals will thus render their ac?
counts at the last. Why, you know that
a town council and a school committee
sometimes will be cruel and unjust
and unprincipled in a transaction that
an individual man or woman would
scorn to stoop to. A merchant who
would scorn to sell flour mixed with
ehalk, scorn to mix up his goods and
adulterate them and sell them to the
world, who would kick another man
out of his store who would offer him
a trick by which he could adulterate
sugar or flour or coffee-yet sometimes
those very men will go into a corpor?
ation and swindle thousands.
If you think you can, through the
process of your social or political ma?
chiner)-, cheat Almighty God, let me
assure you that, while men may not un?
derstand, the great God of heaven and
earth understands, and you are just as
responsible as though you had done it
personally. Let us understand, then,
that while cannibalism may be justified
on the high seas sometimes, the soul of
the world still revolts at it. Some sail?
ors came in the other day and reported
that, starving to death, they fell on a
brother sailor and ate his body. They
arrested them and put them in jail.
They are waiting trial for their life.
They will not be convicted, because the
jury will say that it was life or death.
They ?'a?t lois. They coola* not execute
a man fer saving himself from starva?
tion. But when a man eats his neigh?
bor for the very luxury of eating him,
just takes the choice parts of his body
and discards the others, if there is any
law above the earth or under it or on
it that will justify that I have yet to
lind it.
THE HEART Di THE WORK.
Enter and abide, young man, in no
business that you cannot put your heart
in. Some of us have to do things that
are disagreeable. If yon have to choose
your profession, choose something that
you can put your heart in, or yon will
never be successful in it. They had a
competition in plans for a monument
for Walter Scott in Scotland, and a man
who was a simple carpenter once, Mr.
Kemp, won the prize, and the plans
were accepted for that monument that
stands now the tribute of Scotland's
love to this matchless genius. Why did
he succeed; As he passed along the
road one day a dusty carpenter boy, a
gentleman driving in his carriage saw
he was tired and stopped his horse, and
the great man said, "Get up and ride
with me." So he became acquainted
with Sir Walter Scott and learned to
love and admire him. And it was one
of the inspirations of his life that led
him to become a master architect more
than a carpenter. And when they threw
the competition open to the world, this
man drew the matchless monument
that now stands there incarnated in
marble. Why? Because his heart was
in it. Other men could not compete
with him, because he had put his soul
into it. The highest success in life is
that work in which a man can thus put
his soul, his heart The- heart, after
all, is worth more than mere success
and mere dollars and cents.
Let ns at least hope that our children
will live to see the day that there shall
in deed and truth be a grand Court of
Honor in the midst of the world's busi?
ness in which beauty and righteousness
shall rule.
? Doable Catch.
The Eganville (Ont.) Star is respon?
sible for the following story: A young
man named Tom French, hailing from
Renfrew, in the employ of Mr. John
McGuire at Barry's Bay, went out on
the bay in a small nark canoe trolling
for : trout. After paddling for quite
awhile he observed a large-buck com?
ing toward him. When near the canoe,
it turned and made for the shore quick?
ly, followed by Tom, who, when he
came alongside of the beauty, saw that
its horns were entangled in the troll. |
line, the result being that the canoe and
its occupant were pulled toward shore."
Mr. Joseph Prince then appeared on the
scene in another canoe, when the two
men, with the aid of their paddles, suc?
ceeded in dispatching the noble denizen
cf the forest. : When trie} exciting battle
was over, Tom noticed on the end of his
line a,28 poond trout?_
