Chicago, May 4. -In this sermon,
preached by the Rev. Prank De Witt
Talmage in Jefferson Par... Presbyter-
ian church, the supreme folly of bar-
tering away one's eternal welfarein
exchange for wealth, ambition and
Pleasure or whatever else theworld
eau give is convineingly shown. The
,text is Mark viii, ad, "What shall it
profit a, man .11 he shall gain the
whole world and lose his own soul?"
A most magnificent teXt, especially
easy of inteepretation at the present
time, This is pre-eminently a com-
mercial . age. Everywhere man is
struggling. after the mighty dollar.
Capital striVee to beat down every
obstacle, that its rivers of gold may
grow into oceans.' Provo to a num
who has money that by a certain, in-
vestment he can make inoro moneY,
'and, there is no trouble to persuade
him to invest, Why does a iea.I es-
tate speculator buy land? To niake
money. -When examining a piece of
property, be says to himself: "If I
buy, shall 1 be able to sell at an
adeencea price ?- • Is this suburban
:region going to be built up? Will .
the electric cars eome out here ?
Shall the future residents have easy
access to the city? Shall I beable
to natke • enough out of my bargain •
towarrant the dettput of cutting
this farm up into streets and build-'.
ing lots -enough to • pay my taxes in
the meantime ?" .The merchantman's -
chief thought,,is to decrease' his ex-.

replied the life insurance agent, "yea

man who in all probability will' not

now, let us reason together. Are
