Another warranty that my text will
prove true in the perpetual. poverty of the
world is the wicked spirit of improvi-
deuced A vast number of people have
such small incoure that they cannot lay
by in savings hank or life insurarice one
. cent a year. It takes every farthing
they can earn to spread the table and
clothe the family and educate the
children, and if you blame such people
for improvidence, you enact a cruelty.
On such a salary as many clerks . and
employes and many ministers of religion
live, and on such wages'as many work-
men receive, they cannot, in twenty
e-e:rrs, lay up twenty, cents. But you
know and I know many who have compe-
tent income and could provide sorneeegIat
for the -future, who live up to every dol-
lar, and when they die, their 'children
go to the poor house or on the street. 13y
the time the wife gets the husbandbu-
ried she is in dent to the undertaker 1n d
gravedigger for that which she can
never pay, While` the man lived he had
liis wine parties and fairly stunk with
tobacco, 'and then expired, leaving. his
family upon the charities of the world.
I Da not send for me to come
and conduct the o;•sequies and read over
such a carcass 'the beautiful liturgy,
"Blessed are . the dead :Who die in the
Lord," for, instead of that, I will turn
over the leaves of the Bii.le to Fist Tim-
othy, 5th chapter, 18th verse, where it
says: "If any provide not for his own,
and especially for those of his own house,
he• hath 'denied .the faith, and is worse
than an infidel;" or I will turn to Jere-
inial. 22nd chapter, 19th verse, where it
says:•".He shall be buried with the burial
of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond
1: the gates of Jerusalem.' I car►nc* imag-
ine any more unfair or meaner thing
than for a man to get his sins pardoned
at the last minute, and then go to heaven
and live in a mansion, and go riding
about in a goldeu chariot ov• r the gold -
ea streets~, while his wife and children,
whom he might have provided for, are
begging' for cold victuals at the base-
ment moor of an earthly city. It seems
to methere aught to be a poor house
somewhere on the outskirts of
heaven, where those gailty of such im-
providence should be kept for to while
on thin soup and, gristle, instead of sit-
ting down at the King's banquet. It is
said that the church is a Divine institu-
tion, and I believe it. Just as certainly
are the s ,wings banks and the life insure
once companies Divine institutions. As
out of evil good often comes, so out of
the doctrine of probabilities, calculated

tO the poor wine gathered ' shiveriog in

The -text west Matthew 26., 11 o "Ye
have the poor always tveith you." :
Who said that? 1 The Christ who
never owned anything (luting His earth-
ly stay. His cradle and Iiii grave were
borrowed. Every fig He ate was from
someone else's tree. Every droP of
water He drank wait from someoneelee's
well. To pay His persoual tax, NViiiell
was very small, only thirty-one and a
quarter cents, He had to perform a
miracle and make a fish pay it. All -the
heights and .depths ind lengths and
breedths of poverty Christ measured in
Hie earthly experience, and when He
coines to speakfof destitution, He always
speaks syMpailletiCally, .and what 1 -le
said tiin is as tine now ; "Ye have. the
polar raw aye 'with' you."

or four reaeons why My text is mark-
edly and graphically true in this year
The first reason we lia,ve always the
poor with- us, is benause f .the perpetual
ovethauling of the tariff question, or, as
I shall call it, the Ta _ff controversy.
There is a need for seclea word and so I
take the reeponsibility of, afandfacturing
it. There are iniilions of people who are
expectine that the present Congress of
tile ljnitte'd Stafes will do something one
way or the other to end this discussion.
But it will never end. - When I was five
years of age I remember hearing my
father and his neighbors id vehement
discussion of this very question. It- was
high tariff or low tariff or no tariff at
all. When your great-grandchild dies at
ninety years of age, it- will probably be
from over-exertiOn in discussing the tart
iti. On the daye the woidd is destroyed,'
titer° will be three: men standing on tile
post office stepste-one a hikh tariff man,
another a low tayiff man, and the other
a free -trade man -e -each one red in the
face froin excited orpiment on this sub-
jeet. -Otherqueitions may ,get quieted,

tion, Pension question, the Civil Service

writ my name -then so they can read it.
"GOOd for that man to have tweed

swindle, He did not die ; he absdonded.
Titere are a hundred thousand people in
America to -day a -hungered through the
Sin of improvidence. "But,'" say some,
"my incenue is SO small I cannot afford
to pay the premium on a life insurance."
Are .you -sure ahout that? H you are

ginning my life's work on the muni-
ficent salary of $800 a year and a parson-
age, and when tlie. call %vas placed in
my lianas, I did not know how in
the world I would ever be able to
spend that amount of money, and I
. remember indulging in a devout wish.
that I might not . be led into worldlness
and prodieality by such an overplus of
resources, and ata time when articles of
food and clothing where higher than
they are now, I felt it a religious duty
to get my life iesureel, and I presented
myself -at an offiee of one of the great
. companies, and 1 stood pale and nervous
lest elte medical examiner might have to
geiet that I had consumption and heart
disease and a half dozen mortal aliments,
but when I got the document, which I
have'yet in full force, I' felt a sense of
manliness and confidence and quietude
and reinforcement, which is a good
thing for any yonng man to have. For
the lack of that feeling there are thou-
sands of men to -day in ' Greenwood and
as - weil have been alive and well and
supporting their , families. Tney got a
little sick, and they were so worried
about what would beconte of their house-
holds in case of theft! demise that their
agitations overcame the skill of the phy-
sicians and they died for fear of dying. ,
1 have for many years been such au
ardent advocate of life insurance, and
my sermon On "The Crime. of not In-
suring," has been so long used on both
sides of the sea by the chief life insur-
ance companies, that some people have
supposed that I received monetary com-
pensation for what I have said and writ-
ten., Not a penny. I will give any man -
a hundred dollarsior every penny I have
received from any life insurance coine
pany. What I have said and written on
the subject hes resulted from the convic-

retailed for misfortune by inopportune
sickness. Just as - that lawyer was to
make the plea that would have put hila

neuralgia seting him. Just as that phy-
sician was to prove his skill in an epi

Teen there are the necessities of buy-

the barrel, and so the injustices are Hartle

overwhelming illustrations of the truth
of my text.—''Ye have the poor always
with you."
Remember a fact that no one empha-
sizes, a fact, nevertheless, upon which; I
want to put the weight of an eternity of
.tonnage; that the best way of insuring
yourself and your children and your
grancicllildr•en against poverty and all
other troubles is by helping others. I
am an agent of the oldest ineuragce

One Curious Holidey Custom.
A curious instanee of holiday inter-
change of greeting was spoken of re-
cently. Two women had been in the
habd of sendime each other Christmas
cards, althoug-17 there was Eit e other
correspondence. Finally, one woman
died, and the next Chrietems, the eur-
Vivor feeling very eorry for tee widower,
bereft of her friend, sent him a card, al-
though their acquaintance had been of
the slightest. Tne next year he sent
one, too. Now. each C-nriettnns, one
comes from hiin, and one goes to him,
witheut any word of greeting or thallkii
between theM. He 'is an old man ard
when the card ceases to come, is %yin he
known that ne is dead. Not till then,
probably. will the custom die out.—Pitts-
