us; an instrument made of a cord, at the
t-nd of which a lump of lead is fastened.
They drop it over the Hide of the wall,
and, as the plummet naturally sts-ks the
center of gravity in the earth, the work
man discovers where the wall recedes
and where it hules out and just what is
the icrienliciil:ir. Our text represents
God as standing on the wall of character,
which the Israelites liad huilt, and in that
way measuring it. "And the Lord said
unto mo, Amos, what seest thou? and I
eaid, A plumb line."
What the world wants is a straight up
and down religion. Much of the so called
iety of the day 1 tends this way and that,
to suit the times. It is horizontal with a
low state of sentiment and morals. AVe
liave all Ik-mi building a wall of charac
ter, and it is glaringly imerfoct and
Heeds reconstruction. How shall it be
la-ought into the jerpendicular? Onlybj
divine measurement. "And the Lord
said to me, Amos, what seest thou? and
I said, A plumb line."
The whole tendency of tho times i3 to
make us act by the standard of what
others do. If they play cards, we play
cards. If they dance, wo dance. If
they read certain styles of books, we read
them. We throw over tho wall of our
character the tangled plumb line of other
lives and reject the infallible test which
Amos saw. The question for mo should
not lo what you think is right, but what
Cod thinks is right. This periotual ref
erence to the liehavior of others, as
though it decided anything but human
fallibility, is a mistake as wide as the
world. There are 10,000 plumb lines in
use, but only one is true and exaot, and
that is the line of Gem's eternal right.
There is a mighty attempt being made to
reconstruct and iix up tin-Ten Command
ments. To many they seem too rigid.
The tower of I'isa loans over alout thirt
een feet from the perpendicular, and peo
ple go thousands of miles to see its grace
ful inclination, and by extra braces and
various architectural contrivances it is
kept leaning from century to century.
Why not have the ten granite blocks of
Sinai set a little aslant? Why not have
the pillar of truth a leaning tower? Why
is not an ellipse as good as a square? Why
13 not an oblique as good as straight up
and down? Mv friends, we must have a
6tandard: shall it Ihj God's or man's?
The. divino plumb line needs to lx
thrown over all merchandise. Thousands
of years ago Solomon discovered the ten
dency of buvers to depreciate goods. lie
Baw a man boating down an article lower
and lower, and savins it was not worth
the price asked, and when he had pur
chased at the lowest price he tola every
body wliat a sharp bargain he had struck.
and how he had outwitted the merchant
Proverbs xx. 14: "It is nausrht, it is
naught, saith the buyer; but when he is
gone his way, then heboastcth." So ut
terly askew is society in this matter that
you seldom find a seller asking the price
that he exiects to get. lie puts on a
hijrher value than he proposes to receive,
knowine that he will have to drop. And
if he wants fifty, he asks seventy-live.
And if he wants 2,000 he asks S..100.
"It is naught," saith the buyer. "The
fabric is defective; the style of goods is
poor; I can get elsewhere a bettor article
at a smaller price. It is out of fashion
it is damaged; it will fade; it will not
wear well. After a while the mer
chant, from over lx-rsuasion or desire to
dispose of that particular stock of poods,
6avs, "Well, take it at vour own price,
and the purchaser goes home with light
step and calls into his private office his
confidential friends, and chuckles while
he tells how that for half price he got the
goods. In other werds he lies, and was
proud of it. Nothing would make times
as good and the earning of a livelihood
so easy as the universal adoption of the
law of right. Suspie-iem strikes through
all banrain makinr. ilen who sell know
not whether they will ever get tho
money. Purchasers know not whether
the goods shipped will l according to the
sample. And what, with the large num
ber of clerks who are making false en
tries and then absconding to Canada, and
the explosion of firms that fail for mil
lions of elollars. honest men are at their
wit's end to make a living. lie who
6tanels up amid all the pressure and does
right is accomplishing something towards
the establishment of a high commercial
prosperity. I have deep sympathy for
the laboring classes who toil with hand
anel foot. But we must not forget the
business men who, without anv complaint
or bannered processions through the
street, are enduring a f-tress of
circumstance's terrilic. The fertunate
nrorile of today are those who are
receiving elaily wages or regular salaries,
And the men most to be pitied are those
who conduct a lusiiua3 while prices are
fallinz. and yet try to pay their clerks
and employes, and are in such fearful
utrait that thoy would quit business to
morrow if it were not for the wreck and
ruin of others. When people tell me at
what a ruinously low price they purchased
an article", it gives inc more dismay than
satisfaction. 1 know it means tho bank
ruptcy and defalcation of men in many
departments. Tho men who t6il with
the brain need full as much sympathy as
those who toil with the hands. All busi
ness lifu is struck through with suspicion,
nn i panics are only the result of want of
confidence.
The pressure, to do wrong is all the
stronger fn.m the fact that in our day
the large; business houses are swallowing
up the smaller, the whales dining on blue
lish and minnows. Tho large houses
undersell the small ones Ix-cuuse they can
afford it. They can afford to make
lothing, or actually lose, em some styles
of goods, assured they can make; it up on
others. So, a great dry goods house; goes
outride of its regular lino and sells !ooks
at cost er less than cost, and that swamps
the booksellers; or, the dry goods house
.sells bric-a-brae at lowest ligure, that
swamps the small dealer in bric-si-brac.
And the same tlnng goes on m either
tyles of merchandise, and the conse
quence is that all along me ousiness
streets of all our citiws there are mer
chants of small capital who are in tcrriliw
t niggle to keep their heads alioe
water. lhev Cunaruers run down Hie
Newfoundland fishing smacks. This is
nothing against tho man who h.'is tho big
store, for every man lias as large a stre
ii ii 1 as gre-at a business as he can manage.
To feel right and do right under all this
pressure requires martyr grace, requires
divine support, requires celestial re-eu-
forcement. Yet there are tens of thou
sands of such men getting splendidly
through. They see others going up and
themselves going down, but they keep
their patience anil their courage and their
Christian consistency, and after a wliilo
their turn of success will come. The
owners of the big business will die and
their loys will get iiosscssion of the busi
ness, and with a cigar in their mouth and
full to the chin with the !est liquor and
behind a pair of spanking bays they will
pass everything on tho turnpike road to
temporal and eternal perdition. Then
tho business will break up and the smaller
dealers will have fair opportunity. Or
the spirit of contentment and right feel
ing will take possession of the large iirru,
as recently in the case of the great house of
A. A. Low & Co., and the hrm will sr --

needs and the needs of our children; now,
let us dissolve business and make way for

magnanimity, as in the case just men
tioned, it will ljeeomo a common thing.
I know of scores of great business houses
that have had their opportunity of vast
accumulation and who ought to quit.
Hut ierhaps for all the days of this gen-
eration the struggle of small houses to
keep above under tho overshadowing
pressure of great houses will con
tinue; therefore, taking things as they
are, you will bo wise to preserve your
equilibrium and your honesty and your
faith, anel throw over all the counters
and shelves and barrels and hogsheads
and cetton bales and rice casks the meas
uring line cf elivine right. "And the
Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest
thou? and I said, A plumb lino."
In tho same way we need to measure
our theologies. All sorts of religions aro
putting forth -their pretensions. Some
have a spiritualistic religion, and then-
chief work is with ghosts, and others a
religion of jolitical economy proposing to
put an end to human misery by a new
si vie of taxation, and there is a humani
tarian religion that looks after the body
ef men and lets the soul look after itself,
and there is a legislative religion that
proposes to rectify all wrongs by enact
ment of better laws, anel there is an
aesthetic religion that by rules of exquisite
taste would lift the heart out of its ele-
fermities. and religions of all sorts, relig
ions by the peck, religions by the square
foot, and religions by the ton all of
them devices of the devil that would take
the heart awav from the only religion
that will even- effect anything for the hu
man race, and that is the straight up and
down rcligicii written in the beok, which
begins with Genesis and ends with Rev
elation, the religion of the skies, the old
religion, the God given religion, the ever
lasting reli'-Ion, whie-h savs: "Love God
-above all and your neightor as yourself."
All religions but this one begin at the
wrong end and in the wrong place. The
Bible religion demanels that we first get
right with God. It begins at the top and
measures down, while the other religions
begin at the bottom and try to measure
up. They stand at the foot of the wall,
up to their knees in the mud of human
theory and speculation, and have a plum
met and a string tied fast to it. And
they throw the plummet this way, and
break a head there, and thow the plum
met another way, and break a head there,
and then they throw it up, and it comes
down upon their own pate. Fools! Why
will you stand at the foot of the wall
measuring up when you ought to stand
at the top measuring down? A few
days ago I was in the country, thirsty
after a long walk. And I came in, anel
my child v. as blowing soap bubbles, and
they rolle-d out of the cup, blue and gold
and green and sparkling and beautiful
and orbicular, and in so small a space I
never saw more splendor concentrated.
But she blew once too often, and all the
glory vanished into suds. Then I turned
and took a glass of plain water, and was
refreshenl. And so far as soul thirst is
concerned, I put against all the glowing,
glittering soap bubbles of worldly reform
and human speculation, one draught
from the fountain from under the throne
of Genl, cfcar as crystal. Glory be to
God for the relnrion that dreps from
above, not coming up from beneath!
And the Lerd said unto me, Amos,
what seest thou? and I said, A plumb
Une."
I want you to notice this fact, that
when a man gives up the straight up
and down religion in the Bible for any
new fangled religion, it is generally to
suit his sins. You first hear of his
change ef religion, and then you hear of
some swindle he has practiced m Colo
rado mining stock, telling some one if he
will put in 10.000 he can take out
$100,000, or he has sacrificed his chastity,
or plujigeel into irremediable worldhness.
His sins are so broad he has to broaden
his religion and he becomes as broad aa
temptation, as broad as the soul's dark
ness, as broad "as hell. They want a re
ligion that will allow thepi to keep their
Bins, and then at death say tv them;
"Well done, good and faithful servant,"
anel that tells them: "All is well, for
th.-ro is no hell." What a glerious
heavi n they hold leforo us! Come, let
us go in and see it. There is Herod and
all the balx-s he massacml. There is
Charles Guiteau and Jim Fisk and
IioUspierre, tho friend of the French
guillotine, and all tho liars, thieves,
house burners. garrtters, pickpoo-kets and
liln rtines of all the centuries. They have
all got crowns luid thrones and harps and
scepters, and when the-y chant they sing:
"Thanksgiving and honor and glory and
1 nwer to the broad religion that let us all
into heaven without rejientancu and faith
in those disgraceful dogmas ef ecclesiasti
cal old fogy ism."
My text gives mo a grand opportunity
of saying a useful wend to all young men
who are miw forming habits for a life
time. Of what use to a stonemason or
a bricklayer is a plumb lino? Why not
build the; wall by the unaided eye and
hand ? ISoe-ause they aro insufficient, 1h
ea use if there; I ; a deflection in the; wall

calise by the law of gravitation a wall

e haracter that may never bo corrected.
One of tho best friends I ever had die-el of

just as you or I would have done, anel
asked for a dose of semiething to make

in the elose, anil that one drop aroused
the old appetite, and ho entered the first
liquor store, anel stayed there until thor
oughly under the power of rum. He en
tered his home a raving maniac, his wife
and daughter Hoeing from his presence,
until he was taken to the city hospital to
die. The combustible material of early
habit had lain quiet nearly forty
years, and that one spark ignited the con
llngi ation. Rememljer that the wall may
be one hundred feet high, and yet a dellec
tion ene foeit from the fenmdation aHects
the entire structure. And if you live a
hundreel years ami do right the last eighty
years, you may nevertheless do something
at twenty years of age that will damage
all your earthly existence. All you who
i..;vo iuut nemses ior yourselves or ior
others, am I not right in saying to these
mg men, you cannot build a wall so
high as to be inde-penent Of the character
of its foundation? A man before 30
years cf age may commit enough sin to
last him a lifetime. A cat that has killed
one pigeon cannot lie cured. Keevp it
from killing the first pigeon. Now John,
or George, or Charles, or William, or
Alexander, or Andrew, or Henry, cr
whatever be your Christian name or sur
name, say here and now: "No wild oats
for me; no" cigars or cigarettes for me;
no wine or beer for me; no nasty stories
for me; no Sunday 6prees for me. I am
going to start right and keep on right.
Goel help me, for I am very weak. From
the throne of eternal righteousness let
down to me the principles by which I
can be guieled in buileling everything
from foundation to capstone. Lord God,
by the wounded hand of Christ, throw
mo a plumb line!"
Ijorel Nelson s general direction when
going into naval battle was: No man can
do wrong that places his 6hip close along
side that of the enemy. My friend, you
will never do wrong if you keep your life
close alongside the Ten Commandments.
Do right, and you can be as brave as
Marl.i Theresa, who rode up the Hill of
Defiance and shook her sword at the four
corners of the earth.
But," you say, "you shut us young
folks out from all fun." Oh, no; I like
fun. I believe in fun. I have had lots
of it in my time. But I have not had to
go into paths of sm to had it. No credit
to me, but because of an extraordinary
parental example and influence I
was kept from outward transgres
sions, though my neart was uau
enough and elesperately wicketl. I have
had fun illimitable, though I never swore
ene oath, and never gambled for so much
as tho value of a pin, and never saw the
inside of a haunt of sin save as when ten
years ago, with commissioner of jiolice,
and a eletective and two elelers of un
church, I explored these cities by mid
night, not out of curiosity, but that I
nught in pulpit discourse set before the
people the poverty and the horrors of
underground city life. Yet, though I
never was intoxicated for an instant, and
never committee! one act of dissoluteness,
restrained only by the grace of God, with
out which restraint I would have gone
headlong to the bottom of infamy, I have
had so much fun that I don't believe there
is a man on the planet in the present time
who has had more. Hear it, men and
boys, women and girls, all the fun is on
the side of right. Sin may seem attract
ive, but it is deathful, and like the man

right! God will throw it over all our
lives to show us our moral deflections.
God will threiw it over all churches to
show whether they are doing useful
work, er are standing instances of idle
ness and pretense. He will throw that
plumb line over all natiems to demon
strate whe-ther their laws are just en
cruel, the-ir rulers gexxl or bad, their am
bitions holy or infamous. Ho threw that
plumb line over the Spanish monarchy of
other days, and what became of her?
Ask the splintered hulks of her over

line over French imperialism, and what
was the result? Ask the ruins of the
Xuileries, and the fallen column of the
Place Vendome, and the grave trenches
eif Si-elan, and the blood of revolutions at
different times rolling through the Champs
Elysees. He threw that plumb line over
ancient Rome, and what liecame of the

en, flung helpless into the Tiber. lie
threw it ove-r tho Assyrian empire eif a
thousand years, the thrones of Seiuiramis,
and Sardanapalus, and Shalmanesc-r, of
twenty-seven victorious expeditions, the
cities of Phoenicia kneeling to the scepter,
and all the world blanched in the pres
ence. What became ef all tho grandeur?
Ask the fallen palaces cf Khorsabad and
the corpses of her 1S1.000 soldiery slain
by the angel of the Lord in one night,
uid the Assyrian sculptures of the world s
museums, all that now remains ct mat
splendor before which nations staggered
and crouched. God is now throwing
that plumb line ove-r this American re
public, and it is a solemn time with this
nation, and whether we keep his Sab
baths or dishonor them, whether right
eousness or iniquity dominate, whether
we are Christian or infidel, whether we
fulfill our mission or refuse it, whether
we are for God or against him, we'll de
cide whether we shall as a nation go on

Nineveh, anel Thebes, and Assyria are

Ah, hero is where the Gospel comes in
with a Saviour s righteousness to make up
for our deficits. And while I see hanging
on tho wall a plumb line, I see also hang

we will hole! to it. And here and now
you may be set free with a more glorious

Compressed Air on Tap.
A down town merchant who had reatl
the story of "How the Elevator Works,"
a short time ago, calleel the attention of
a reporter to the fact that in England
compressed air is considered much better
under some circumstances for operating
the elevator than water. In Liverpool
London, and other ports, he said, the ele
vators in the big warehouses were op-er-ated
almost exclusively by compressed
air. wluch when exhausted into various
rooms of the buildings serves to ventilate
and purify them. Another advantaj
claimed for compresse-d air is its great
elasticity. The elevators run more
smoothly and stop and start less ab
ruptly, and are less liable to breakage
when a quick stop is made than when
water is used. New lorkbun.
For tho Colored People.
One of the most select hotels in Sara
toga is one which is open to colored peo
ple only. Its proprietor is said to be
worth $200,000. Among his guests this
year have been several young colored
women of .wealth and position. Two of
them wore diamonds of great value. One
of these dusky beauties was considered
the belle of Saratoga by her race, and her
somewhat haughty manner showed that
she realized what is due to a queen of
beauty. Chicago Times. .
