A cheerful interrogatory in the m

Three Prescriptions.
There are three prescriptions by, whip
I believe that our individual and nation
finances may be cured Of their prese
deppression. The first Is cheerful oonve
• and behavior. I have noticed tha
the people who are most vooiferou
against the day in which we live
those who are in comfortable clroum
stances. I have made inquiry of the
persons who are violent In their jeremiada
against these times and I have ask
them, "Now, after all, are you not mak
ing a living?" After some hesitation an
coughing and clearing their throat th
or four times they say stammeringly
`Y -e -s." So that with a great multitud
of people it is not a question of Satin
livelihood, but they are dissatisfied- be
ause they oannotmake as muoh moa
s they would like to make. They ha
only $2,000 in the bank, where th
would like to have $4,000. They ea
c ear in a year only $5,000, when th
ould like to . clear $10,000, or thing

ne; ".are you not aware of the fact tha
here is a great population out of em

he good families of this country who are
t their wits' end, not knowing which
way to turn?" Yes, I know .it better than
ny man in private life can know that
ad fact, for it comes constantly to my
eye and ear, but who is responsible for
this Mato of things?
Much of that responsibility -I put upon

Some people are so overborne with the;
dolorousness of the times that they say

I do not believe it. The .parallel does not

no God in France. We have all these de-
fenses for our American people; and pub-
lic opinion Is ,such that if the people of

this national gloom, do you not believe
the influence. would be instantaneous and

more. He takes it by storm, by sickness,
by bankruptcy, by any one of the ten
thousand ways which he can employ.
The reason many of you are cramped in
business . is because you have never
learned. the lesson of Christian generosity. -
You employ an agent You gine him a
reasonable salary, and, lo, you find out
that he is appropriating your funds,
besides the salary. What do you do? Dis-
charge him. Well, we are God's agents.
He puts In our hands pertain moneys.
Part is to be ours; Dart is to bais.
Suppose we take it all, what then? He
will discharge us; he will turn us oer
to financial disastere and take the t t
away from us. The reason that at
multitudes are not prospered in business
is simply because they, have been with-
holding from God that which belongs to
him. The rule is, give and you will re-
ceive; adminittter liberally and you shall
have more to administer. I am in full
sympathy with,the man who was to be
baptized by immersion, and some one
said, "You had better heave your pocket-
book out; it will get wet."- "No," said
he, "I want to go down under the wave
with everything. I want to consecrate
my property and all to God." And so he
was baptized. What we wait in this
country is more baptized pocketbooks.
I had a relative whose business seemed
to be failing. Here a loss and there a
loons and everything was bothering, per-
plexing-and
er-
plexingand annoying him. Ile sat down
one day and said: "God must have a
controversy with me about something.
I believe I haven't given enough to the
cause of Christ." And there and then he
took out his checkbook and wrote a large
check for a missionary society. He told
me: "That Was the turning point in my
business. Ever since then I have been
prosperous. From that very day, aye,
from that very hour, I saw the change."
And, •sure enough, he went on, and he
gathered a fortune.
The only safe investment that a man
,can make in this -world is In the cause
of Christ. If a man •give from a super-
abundance, God may or he may not re -
expend with to bleosjng, but • if a man gi t e
until he feels it, if a man gives until it
fetches the blood, if a man gives until
his selfishness cringes and -twists and
cowers under it he will get not only
spiritual profit, it,
he will get paid back
in hard cash or in convertible securities.
We often see men who are tight fisted
who seem to get along with their in-
vestments very profitably) notwithstand-
ing all their parsimony. But wait.- Sud-
denly in that man's history everything
goes wrong. His health fails or his rea-

A Divine Promise.
People quote as a joke what is a divine
promise, "Cast thy bread upon the wa-
ters and it will return to thee after many
days." What_ _ dict God mean by that?
There is an allusion there.- In Egpyt
when they sow the corn it is at a time
when the Nile is overflowingits banks,
and they sow. the seed corn ion the wa-
ters, and as the Nile begins tb recede this
seed corn strikes in the earth and comes
up a harvest, and that is the allusion.
It seems as if they are throW ing the corn
away on the waters, but after - awhile
they gather it up lin e. harvest. Now says
God in his word, "Cast thy bread upon
the waters and it shall comback to thee
after many days.'! It may seem to you -
that
you are throwing iv it
awon chari-
ties.
ties. but it will yield a harvest- of green
and gold -a harvest on eart and a har-
vest in heaven. - If men cote d appreciate
that and act on that, we ould have no
more trouble about individ al or national
finances, -
Prescription the third, fqr the cure of
all our individual and.natidnal financial
distresses -a great spiritual awakening.
It is no mere theory. Tho ; merchants of
this country were positively demented
with the monetary eaoitenjtent in 1857.
There never before or since lhas been such
a state of financial depres;'sion as there
was at that time. A revival came, and

finest fortunes,. the_ largest fortunes -in
the United States, have been made since
1857. "Well," you say, "what has spirit-
ual improvement and reviPal. to do with
monetary improvement and revival?"
Much to do. The religion of Jesus Christ
has a direct tendency to make men hon-
est and sober and truth telling, and are
not honesty and sobriety and truth tell-
ing auxiliaries of material prosperity? If
we could have an awakening in this
country as in the days of 'Jonathan Ed-
wards of Northampton, as in the days of
Dr. Finley of Basking Ridge, as in the
date of Dr. Griffin of oston, the whole
land would rouse to a higher moral tone,
and with that moral tone the honest
business -enterprise of the country would
come up. You say a great awakening
has an influence upon the future world.
I tell you it bas a direct influence upon
the financial welfare of this world. The
religion -of Christ ie no foe to successful
business. It is its best friend. And If
there should come a great awakening in
this country, and all the banks and in
euranoe companies and stores and offices
should close up for two weeks and do
nothing but attend .to the publio worship
of Almighty God, after such a spiritual
vacation the land would wake up to such
financial prosperity as - we, have never
dreamed of. Godliness I., profitable for
the life that now is as :ell as for that
whioh is to Dome; but, my friends, do
not put so much emphasis on worldly
success as to let your eternal affairs go at -
loose ends. I have nothing to say against
-money. The More money you get the
better, if it comes honesty- and goes use-
fully. For the lack of it sickness dies
without medicine, and hunger finds its
cofiln in an empty bread tray, and naked-
ness shivers for clothes and fire. All this
canting tirade against money• as though
it had .no practical use, *hen I hear a
man indulge in it, makeo,.me think the
best heaven for hint would be an ever-
lasting poorhouse. - No, there is a practi-
cal use in money, but while we adroit
that, we must also admit i that it cannot
satisfy the soul; that it Cannot. pay for
our ferriage across the,Joa¢don of death;
that it cannot unlock the i gate of heaven
for our immortal soul.
A. Word of Warning -
Yet there are men who I act as though
packs of bonds and mortgages could be
traded off for a mansion in - heaven and
as though gold were a llegal tender in
that land where it is So common that
they make pavements out, of it. Salva-
tion by. Christ is the !only salvation.
Treasures in heaven are the only incor-
ruptible treasures. Have you ever cipher-
ed out that sum in loss and gain, "What
shall it profit a man if he''gain the whole.
world and lose his soul?" You may wear:-
fine
ear -fine apparel now, but the winds of death
will flutter it like rags. Homespun and
a threadbare . coat have sometimes been
the shadow of robes white in the blood
of the Lamb. All the mines of Australia
and Brazil, strung in one oarcanet, are
not worth to you as mush as the pearl
of great price. You remember, I suppose,
some years app, the shipwreck of the
Central America? A storm came on that
vessel. `The surges tramped the deck and
swept down through the hatches, and
there went up-- a hundred voiced death
Adak. The foam on the jaw of the wave.
The pitching of the steamer, as though
it would leap a -mountain! The glare of
the signal rockets. The long cough of the
steam pipes. The hiss of - extinguished
furnaces. The walking 1 of God on the
wave-. Oh, it was a stupendous spectacle.
But that ship did not go I down without
a struggle. The passengers stood in long
lines trying to bail it out and men un-
used to toil tugged until heir hands were
blistered and their muscles were strained.
After awhile a sail came in sight .A few
passengers got off, but the most went
down. The ship gave one lurch and was
lost.
So there are men who go in life -a fine
voyage they are in king out of it. All is
well, till some eu oclydon of business
disaster conies upo them, and they go.
down. The botto of this commercial
sea is strewn with he shattered hulks,
but because your p operty goes shall your
soul go? Oh, no! There is coining a more
stupendous shipwreck after awhile. This
world, God launched it 6,000 years ago,
and it is sailing on,' buti one day it will
stagger at the cry of "Fire!" and the
timbers of the rocks will burn, and the
mountains flame like masts, and the
clouds like sails in the judgment hurri-
cane. God will take a good' many off the
deck, and others out of the berths, where
they are now sleeping in Jesus. How
many shall go down? No one will know
until it is_annennced in. }Leman one ;

How to Care for Guns.
Many people go to unnecessary labor
in oaring for their guns, and then per-
haps have then spoiled after all. Guns
get rusty inside, and a fine gun --either
shotgun or rifle --is spoiled when it be-
comes rusted and rough .inside. It is a
very easy and simple matter to prevent a
gun from rusting inside if the proper
course is taken. Never wet or dampen
the gun inside after firing the last shot,
but in place of a damp or wet rag use a
rag or bristle brush with plenty of good.
oil. The brush or rag should not fit too
tightly to the bore. Run' through two or
three times, put the gun away a day or
two to give the oil time to loosen what
dirt may be in the gun, and then wipe
the dirt out with a dry rag- and put in a
new rag with a little oil on it. Many
people wash a gun out with much labor
and care and •think they have dried it
perfectly, only to see after all their labor
that the gun is rusty inside and much
damaged. Of course it expected that
water shall be used when shooting, at
target or from the trap, but put to water
or dampness in the gun ._ after the last
shot. As to the kind of oil to use in a
gun, almost' any kind bf animal oil will
do. 'Vegetable oils or fluids are good for
nothing to preserve iron or steel. Many
times' one can procure good oils from
coons, chucks or bears, if one knows
how to get it out in the proper way so as
not to have it gummy and sticky. Oils .
should never be heated and tried out.
'fake the fat from the ;animal, place it
on a board and with a sharp knife out
it up fine; then warm lit . a little and
place it in a strong cloth and ;force it
out, by pressure. A shot bag is a good
thin to use,and couple a u e of 'pieces of
Bp ip tie i
narrow boards with leather nailed on one
end to hold them together. Put the
strainer iietween the boards and squeeze
the oil out. You will thus have some
limpid oil that will preserve gun`s nicely.

The indifference of most persons to all
that relates to their spiritual welfare is
the most unaccountable thing in the
history of humanity. We should suppose,
If experience did ndt teach us to the con-
trary, thait the iligbtest hint that man is
immortal, and that the ineffable blessed-
ness of heaven, of an eternal life of joy
were before him and within his. reach,
would be sufficient to rouse his attention
and to excite every faculty to the most
intense exertion to learn what that
blessedness is,. and how lit is to be . ob-
tained. We should suppose that his at-
tention -would, never weary,- that he
would explore books, consult living
teachers, keep his mind ever open and
active` to receive, and turn himself con-
tinually towards the light, and train and
discipline every faculty ; .to the utmost
'vigor. If truths wrought into the soul
are the receptacles of the Divine life, and
the influx of the Divine life in true or-
der is heaven and eternal blessedness,
what motive can be wanting to the most
diligent, active and persistent study of
Ike truth? And when we add that now,
in this life, is the "day'to learn truths.
and - that all we learn hereafter it is to be
based upon, and in an intimate way'to
be connected with and ' to grow out .of
the truths wet learn, here, every rational
judgment must declare that there can be
no folly and no madness so great as the
indifference tb truth, Rev. Chauncey
Giles.
