Whatever other caultee `of povertv`Inay fail, the sa- loon may be depended on to furnish an• ever-increasing throng of paupers. _ 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.

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." . For six thousandyears the bread ques- Lion has been the active and akeserbing question. • Witness the people crondliog up to Joseph's .storehouse in Egypt.

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, the Motmon quhfition, the Silver ques- tion, Pension question, the Civil Service question.

Our finances cannot get well because of two many, doctors. it is with sick nations. as with sick individuals. Here is a Man terribly disordered ae to his body. A febrifuge, a spoonful every hour. But recovery is postponed, and the anxious friends call in another doctor, and he blood-letting; how roll up_ your sleeve 1'5 and the lancet flashes. But still re- covery is postponed, and a hoincepathic doctor is called in, -and he administers t,otne small pellets, and says : "All the patieet wants is rest." Recovery etill. postponed, the family say that such - small pellets canhot- amount to mace anyhow, and en, allopathic doctor is called in and he' says ; "What this patient wants is : calomel and jelap." dector is called iu,' and he says : "What .this patient wants is hot anct cold baths, aud he must have them: right away. Turn on the faucet and get ready the shower baths." Recovery still postpoie ed, an eleetric doctor is called ite and he brings all the schoels CO bear upon the pear sufferer, and the poor paueitt, -af ter at heave struggle fee life, expires: - Whet killed him '?

I- al ways 1 ca not help but so say to myself : c. writ my name -then so they can read it. "GOOd for that man to have tweed after his wife and children after earthly (tepee:tare. May he have one of the best Seats , in heaven.! •Young man ! The day before or tne day after you get mar- ried, go too life insurence company of established reputation and get the medi- cal examiner to put . the tetethatcope to your luugs and: his ear dfcse tie your heart, with Your vest off, and have sign- ed, sealed .ahd- delivered to you a docu- -merit that will, in the case of your sudden departure, make for that lovely girl the affference between - a queen meh who liae-e bad an . income of $3000, $4000, $5000 a year who did not leave one farthing to ; the surviving household. Now that man's death is a defalcation, an outrage, a 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 sure. then you have a right to depend on ehe promise intJeremiali, 49411 chap- ter, 11th verse : "Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive, and let thy widows trust in me." Mit if •you ate able to retnember you havte no right to ask God to do for your house- hold that which .you can do for them yourself. For the benefit of those young 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- tion to the human race.

They hear of a new silver mine opened in Nevada, and they say, 'What a chance 1" and they take the little money they have in the savings bank and pay it out for as beautiful a certificate of train-_ ing stock as'every was printed; and the only tiring they will ever get out of the investment; is the aforesaid illuminated litltograph. They are al ways on the verge of rnillionalredo rn, and are sometimes worried as to whom they shall bequeath their excess of fortune, They iuvest in aerial machines, or new inventions in perpetual emotion, and they succeed in e► hat mathematicians think nnpossible, the squaring of a circle, for they do everyeu►ing on the square and win the whole circle of disappointment..

In the wake of all these are 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.
