It ie an indigenous epeciee of clover, whieh
trails along the ground among the grass in
meadows. The Meld. leaves are not more

clover I have seen in Ameriea, and are pure

shading of the white and pink clovers.

The letter made its inquiry of people in
may different occupations and industries.
Some of the answers wero given in extended
interviews ; most of them were see clown in
writing. Of the sodden answers a few were
short ; the majority were of considerable
length ; some of them being a good deal
lenge!, than the usual limit of my sermons.
As to the nature of the replies to my
questions, some said one thing lend some an-
other. One letter would return an emphatic
assertion of the purity of all the principles
of business, and in the same mail would come
another letter casting suspicion upon the
integrity, from the Christian point of view,

be Christian in its conduct, but exeopted
certain mem 01 00(1.010 branches of commer-
cial life. Some held that liminess is the
most Christian institution now existing in
the world, maintaining that most business
men are really Christian missionaries, teach-
ing and enforcing the strictest Christian
ethics.
Others can 'eased that, from their point of
view, the Mildness world, so far from being
a house of prayer, is really a great den of

correspondents said, represented the real
truth, that as the nosiness world is at pres-
ent constituted men are of necessity every
day forced into sin.
noticed one curious division line run-
ning through all this interesting and pro-
fitable correspondence. The men at the
head of great industries are emphatic ni
affirming the ebsoluto honesty of all decen
businose, But the small eradere, the clerks,
the coMmereita le 'teeters, are not by any
means so sure about that. Nearly alt the
negative answers calne from them.
All these letters were so carefully end
thoughtfully written, every one of them so
suggestive and no instructive, that I am
sorry that my space does not permit me to
quote them all, from the first even to the
last, without miseing a sentence. Some of
them are as good sermons BE I ever heard.
All that I can do is to quote sentences from
them here and there, and to give you their
main ideas and to make :scne comments
upon the general subject in the. l held of this
correspondence.
"Is it impossible to do business on Chris.
btu principles Ole it true, that as the Mud.
ness world is at present oonetituted men
must commit sin 7"
"It is said," writes one correspondent,
"that there are two sides to all questions
but the question. Can business be done on
Christian principles ?" eeems to me to have
one tide only. It is not only possible, but,
as a ride, the most profitable, to do business
on Christian principles ; and 3 cannot ad-
mit for ono moment tiled those principlee
antagonize legitimate Malone as the world
10 11000 oonetituted,"
"As we have 1 eon taught, "writes an.
other correspondent, " that alI thinge are
poseible, I must say that it is possible to
do business on Christian principles ; but
when and where are very rare inattention in
my humble opinion. I once heard a cashier
of a now defence bank toll it prominent
business man of this oily that it wan impos-
sible to get rich and bo honest, except by
inheritance, or 'striking it rich' by some
lucky find, I hove never been engaged in
businese for myself to any great extent, but
must confess that in almost every business
in which I have been employed I have
observed many oases of deeeption."
The next writer represents one of the
hugest and most widely abused corpora -
Gioia in this country. "In my judgment,"
be say» "itt is impossible to succeed in bush
nese without Christian principles, Mceepb

One coerespoodene 'writes in this guards
way " To your first question I make
reply that business can be and is done on
motel, and therefore, Christian principles,
by many firma and porsous. By this I do
net mean that perfection is attained, but

And another, carrying the same 11.41,1.1e
libole farther into the region.; euclesiastienl,
says this 1 " Nor do I know of any commer-
cial practices that nre in ' opposition to
Christian principles ; but there is to 1110

fault of Christian principles. It is a fact,"
he concludes, "that may give you some food

And yet here is MI epistle as long Its two
sermons, which beeins thus ; " Your leder

on which any thoughts have repeatedly
dwelt, and with no °thee result than pain
and disereseful confusion. In fact, there is
little in the business world that w'll bear
comparison with ideal standards atol Chis-
tian holiness, Tha dominating principle of
busiuess is selfishness under the form of
competition. The rule of Christianity Is to
love your brother as yourself. These prin-
ciples evoke inevitable conflict."
Some of the correspondents, on the other
baud, MT so 0111 pbati0 in their oeretteety of
the Christian elements in business, that
they have their opinion, and that not a ram
orable one, of die young tnen whose vote
was quoted in my letter. One business man
thinks that they were mutably boys who
knew nothing whatever about business. An-
other soya that their society should be (Ailed

Another says that "no decent honest man
could suggest Gott business could not be
conducted upon Christian prineiples success

for the young men in that Christian Associ-
ation who decided in the manner they ,lid,

I would say, "Come up out of the Chatham

Thue my first.question was answered by 11,
confusion of voices. Some saying "yes,'
and same "no"; but the majority maintain.
ing most eareestly that it is not only pos.
sible to do business on Christian principles,
but as a fact business is actually done on
