There U a gloomy and iasslvo way of wait
ing for tho events of tho opening j-onr to como
uioti us, and there Is n heroic way of going
out to moot them, strong In Uod nnd fearing
nothing. Wlicn tho Insly or Catlllno was
found in tho hattleriold It wrut found far In
rulvanco of nil his tniops, and nniong tbo
cnoniy; and tbo best way is not for us to tlo
doini nnd let tboovents of llfo trnmploovor
us, but to pi forth in a Christian spirit deter
mined to conquer,
Tbo (mjicni wero mado out, nnd nomoof

in tho commercial establUbmout whore you

You werooxiKX'tlng prossjrlty, and 1 am de

with It, that you shall not bo dlsapoluted,
and therefore I proioo, as God may help mo
this morning, to project upon your attention
ft now element of jeeoss. You will havo in
tbo buKinws firm, frugality, tlciico, Indus
try, iwrhovcrnnco, ecoiioniy n very strong
business (Inn, but there needs to bo ono mem
ber added, mightier than thorn nil, and not n
silent iartuer either tbo ono introduced by
my text! "Godliness which b profitable unto
all things, having tbo promise of tho llfo that
now is as vroll as of that which b to como."
TOO MUCH LEVITY IN I.ATTKIl IIAV UKLIOION.
1 supKiso you aro all willing to admit that
Godliness b liiixrtnnt In ItH eternal relations;
but orhnp4 Homo of you xayi "All 1 wantb
an opportunity U say a prayor beforo I die,
and all will bo well." There aro a great
many euplo who supposo that If tboy can
finally get safely out of thb world into a bet
ter world, tboy will have exhausted tbo en
tire odvautago of our holy religion. Thoy
talk as though religion wero n mero uod of
recognition which wo aro to givo to tbo Lord
Jesus on our way up to a heavenly mansion;
M though it were au admission ticket of no
uso except to givo in at tho door of heaven.
And thero aro thousands of pooplo who havo
groat admiration for a religion of the
shroud, and a religion of tho coffln,
and ft religion of th bearso, and
a religion of tho cemetery, who have no
appreciation of a religion for the bonk, for
tho farm, for tbo factory, for tho warehouse,
for tho Jowclor's shop, for the broker's olllce.
Now, wbilo I would not throw any slur on a
postmortem religion, 1 wont thb morning,
and on tbo first Kabbath of tho now year, to
'eulogize an anto-mortem religion. A religion
that b of no uso to you whllo you llvo, will
bo of no uso to you wbcu you die, "Godli
ness b profitable unto all things, having tbo
prombo of tho llfo that tiow b as well as of
that which b to come." And I havo always
noticed that when tho groco b very low In a
man's heart bo talks a great dsal In prayer
meetings about deaths, nnd about conlns, and
about grnves, and about cburcbynrib. 1
havo notlcod that tho healthy Christian, tho
man who b living near to God, and is on tho
straight road to honvon, b full of Jubilant
satbfactlau, and talks about tho duties of thb
llfo, understanding well that if God helps
hhn to llvo right bo will holphlm to die right.
Now, in tbo first placo, 1 remark that
godliness b good for a man's physical health.
1 do not mean to say tli'U it will restore a
brokou down constitution ar drive rbouma
than from the limbs, or neuralgia from tbo
temples, or plourby from tbo bide, but I do
mean to bay that It gives ono such habits and
.nits ono In such condition as b nM favorablo
for physical health. That I bollevo and that
iavow Evcrytxxly knows that buoyancy
of spirit b good physical advuntaga Gloom,
unrest, dejection aro at war with every pul
sation of tho heart and with ovory respira
tion of the lungs. It lowers the vitality, It
slackens tbo circulation, while oxhllaratlon
of spirit wurs tho very balm or heaven
through all tho current of llfo. The senw
of iiusocurlty which bometlinos hovers over nn
uuregenerato man, or nitinces uikiii him with
tlio blast of ten thousand trumpets or terror,
b most depicting and most exhausting, whllo
tho feeling that ull things aro working to
gether for my good now, nnd for my over
lasting wolforo, b couducivo to physical
health.
You will obsorvo that godliness induces
Industry, which b tho foundation of good
hcaltli. There b no law of hyglcno that
will keep a lazy innu welL I'lourby will stab
bun, erysipelas will burn him, Jnundlco will
discolor him, gout v.i cripplo him, nnd tbo
intelligent phyhiclaii will not prewrllnj anti
septic or febrifuge or imodyno, but buws. and
hammers and yardsticks nnd crowbars and
pickaxes. There is no such thing as good
physical condition without xwltlvo work of
somo kind, although you.bould slccpoudown
of swan or rido in carriage of softest uphol
stery or havo on your tablo all tho luxuries
that were ourcd from tho wine vnts of Ispa
han and Klilraz. Our religion saysi "Away
to tho banklaway to tbo flcldluway to tho
shopl away to tho factory! Do something
that will enlist all tbo energies of your body,
mind nud soul." "Diligent In business, for
vont In spirit, serving tbo Ixird;" whllo upon
tho bare back of tho Idler nnd tho drouo
comes down tbo sharp labh of tbo npostlooa
bo Bays, "if any man will not work, neither
shall ho cat."
I10W PXUUIO.N IS GOOD Km THE HEALTH.
Oil, bow l:nortajit In thb duy, u hen so
much U Mid about anatomy and physiology
and theraieutlcs, and kiiiio new stylo of muli
clno h ever and unnn springing upon tbo
world, that you Miould umiurtnnd that tho
highest school of medicino b tbo k-IiooI or
ChrUt, which declare, that "UodlinoMi b
profitable unto ell things, having tho prombo
or tho llfo that now U as well as of that which
ii to come." t?o if you start out two men In
the world with wmal physical health, and
then one of them bhsll get tbo religion uf tun
Jrd Jesus Christ i.i bis heart, mid the other
hall not gut it, the one who becomes n win of
tbo Iord Almighty will llvo the longer.
"With long Ufa will I satisfy thco. and show
thco my ralvatlon."
Again 1 remark that godliness b good ror
tbo Intellect, 1 know some have ruipgxrsod
that Just as soon as a man enters Into tho
CbrUtlau llfo his intellect goes into a bo
dwarflng proccm. Ho far from tint, religion
will give now brilliancy tn tho Intellect, uow
stro.igtb to the Imagination, new force to tho
will, and wider swing to all the Intellectual
faculties. Christianity b tho great central
fir at which philosophy has lighted its
brightest torch. Th religion of the Lcrl
Jesuit Christ b tho fountain out of which
learning has dipped lU clearest draught
Tbo ilollcon (Kiurod forth no such liisplrlug
waters us those which flow from under the
throtio of God clear as crystal. Religion
has given new cnorgy to Kxy, weep
ing in Dr. Young's "Night Thoughts,"
teaching In Cowiicr's "Task," flam
ing in Charles Wesley's hymns, nud
rushing with nrchangello splendor through
Milton's "Pnrndbu IamU" Tho religion of
Jobus Christ has bung in studio nnd In gallery
of art and In Vatican, tho best pictures Ti
tian's "Assumption," Raphael's "Transfigura
tion," Ruliens' "Descent from tbo Cross,"
Claudo's "Uurnlng Hush," nnd Angola'-- "Ijut
Judgment." Religion has mado tbo lx?st mu
slooftbo world lladyn's "Creation," linn
dol's "Messiah." Mozart's "Rixpilem." Is it
(KMsiblo that it religion which builds such In
destructible monuments, and which lifts Its
onslgu on tho hlghct promontories or worldly
power, cnu havo nny olToct tixm it man's In
tellect but olovntiiiu and enlargement! Now,

all by their names.
HOW UELIOiON I'ltKVKNTH t)E8tON0EN0Y AND
OlAXJUINCSS.
Again 1 remark that godliness b profitable
for one's dlipoHltlon. iird Ashley, beforo bo
went Into it groat bnttlo, was hoard to offer
this prayer i "O Ixird, I shall (hi very busy
todayi if 1 forgot tbeo, forgot mo not." With
such it Christian dlsKslllim as that, it man Is
iudcxjndeutof ull clrcuuiHtuncut, Our piety
will havo a lingo of our natural tonix'ranient.
If it man bo cross mid sour and fretful natur
ally, after bo Isjcomes n Chrbtinu bo will
always buvo to Ixi nruieil ngitlnst tlio rebellion
of those evil Inclination; but religion lias
tamed tho wildest nature, It hit turned fret
fulness Into gratitude, doHxjndoticy Into good
cheer, and Miomo who were bard and ungov
ernable and uncoiupromUlug havo been mado
pliable and conciliatory. Good resolution, re
formatory eirort, will not elTect tbo change,
It takes a mightier arm and a mightier bund
to bend ovll habits thou tbo baud that bent
tbo bow of Ulyssob, and It tnkes n stronger
lasso than over held tbo buffalo un tho prairie.
A man cannot go forth with any human
weax)us and contend successfully against
those Titans armed with upturn mountain.
Hut you bavo known men into whoso spirit
tho Influence of tho Gospel or Christ caiuo un
til their dlsxsltion was entirely chaugod. Ho
It was with two merchants In Now York.
Thoy wero very antagonistic. They hnd
done all tboy could to Injure each other,
Thoy wero In tbo samo lino of bust
hubs. One of the merchanu was con
verted to God. Having been converted, bo
asked tbo Ijonl to touch him bow to Ixwir him
self toward that business antagonist, and bo
was improHhod with the fact that It was his
duty when it customer asked for certain kinds
of goods which bo bail not, but which bo
know hb opx)nent hail, to recommend him to
go to that store. I suppose that b about tho
hardest thing n man could do, but being
thoroughly converted to God, bo rosolved to
do that very thing, and being asked for a
certain kind of ftoods which be bad not, bo
soldi "You go to such and such a store and
you will get it" After a whllo mcrcbunt
number two found tboso customers coming
so sent, and ho found also that merchant
number ono bad liven brought to God, und
besought the same religion. Now tboy are
good friends nud good neighbors, tho graoa
of God entirely clianging their disposition.
"Oh," bays somo ono, "I bavo a rough, Jag
god, Impetuous nature, and religion cun't do
anything forino." Do you know that Mar
tin Luther and Robert Newton und Richard
Baxter were lm'utuous, all consuming na
tures, yet tbo graco of God turned tlyjm into
tbo mightiest usefulness A manufacturer
cares but very lltUo for a stream that slowly
runs through tbo meadow, but a strong tor
rent that Icajw from rock to rock, nnd rushes
with mad energy through tho valloy nnd out
toward tho sea. Along that river you will find
fluttering shuttles and grinding mill and
flashing water whocL And a nature, tho
swiftest, tho most rugged aud tho most tre
mendous, that b tbo nature God
turns Into greatest usefulness. Oh, how man)
who have been pugnacious, aud bard to
ploaso, and Irascible, and moro bothered about
tbo mote in thou neighbor's oyo than about
tbo beam llko ship timber In their own oyo,
who bavo been entirely chaugod by tbo graco
of God, and bavo found out that "godliness
b profitable for tho llfo that now b as well as
ror tbo lire which Is to como."
IlELIQION IH OOOIl IN I.IFU'li PIIACTICAL
THINas.
Again I remark, that rollglor b good for a
man's worldly business. I know tho general
theory b, tho moro business tho less religion,
tho moro religion tho lom business. Not bo
thought Dr. Hans in his "Biography of a
Christian Merchant." when bo says: "no
grow in grace the last six years of hb
llfo more thnu at nny tlrao In bb llfo; dur
ing those six years ho had moro busi
ness crowding him than at any other tlmo."
In other words, tho moro worldly business a
man has, the moro opixirtunity to servo God.
Does religion exhllarato or retard worldly
business is tho practical question for you to
discuss. Doom It hang llko a mortgage over
tlio farm Is It a bad debt on tho ledgerl Is
it n Hen against tho estate! Docs it crowd
tho dixir through which customers como for
broadcloths und silks ( Now, religion will
hinder your business If it bo a bail business,
or if It bo u good business wrongly conducted.
If you toll lies behind tho counter, if you uso
false weights aud measures, If you put sand
in sugar, and boot Julco In vinegar, and lard
hi butter, and sell ror ono thing that which b
another thing, then rollgion will Interfcro
with that business; but it lawful business,
lawfully conducted, will find tho religion or

Religion will givo an oqulpolso or spirit,

duties of everyday Ufa 1 do not mean to say
that religion will mnlto us financially rich,
but I do say that it will givo us. It will assuro
us of a comfortable hustcnanco at tho start, n
coinfortabla Miledstenronll tho wuy through,
nnd It will help us to direct the bcuk, to man
ago the trallle, to conduct oil ou- business
matters, and to make tho most Insignificant
affair or our llfo a matter of vast Lnportanc
glorlfled by Christian principle.
In Now York city tUtr was a mtrc'.
hard In I b dealings with hb fellows, who had
I written over hb banking houso, or lib count
ing homo rpomi "No coinnmmlm." Thou
whou sorjo merchnnt got in n crbls mid went
down-no fault of his, but a conjunction
of ovll clrcumstnnccn nd nil tho other
merchants wero willing to compromise thoy
would take seventy-llvoconb on tbo dollar, or
ftfty wills, or twenty cents coming to this
man last of nil, ho said I "No compromise; I'll
tnko ono hundred cents on tho dollar, nud I
can iiffuid to wnlt," Well, tho wheel turned,
nnd after a whllo that man was In a crisis of
business, nud bo wilt out lib agents to com
promise, and the ngenta said to tbo mor
chnutsi "Will you tnko fifty centa on
tho dollar r "Na" "Will you take
anything'" "We'll tnko ono hundred
cents on the dollar No compromise," And
tho man who wroto that inscription over lib
counting house door died iu destitution. Oh,
wo want moro of tbo kludncMor thoOosol
and tho spirit or love In our Inuliuws enter
iirbosl How many young men havo found
iu tho religion of Jesus Christ n practical

nnd thorn for help, nnd yonder for help, und

crying ror lib dollvcrnnco, nud tbo Ixinl n

In a bank not rnr rrom our groat metrop
olis a vlllago bank nn olllcer could not Iml
nuco bb accounts. Ho hnd workixl nt thnm
day after day, night after night, nnd bo was
sick nigh unto death ns a result. Ho know ho
had not taken ono farthing from that bank,
but somehow, for somo reason InscruUblo
tbo accounts wouldn't balance, Tho tlmo
rolled on, nnd the morning nf tbo day when
tlio Ixxiks should pass under tbo iiuvpoctlon of
tho other ofllcers arrived, nud ho felt hlmsoir
Iu awful xtII, conscious of -bis own Integrity
but imnblo to provo that Integrity Thnt
morning bo went to tho linuk early, nud ho
knelt down beforo God nud told tho wbolo
story of lib mental anguish, nnd bo said:
"O Ixird, I ltavodiino right; I bavo preserved
my Integrity, but hero I urn about to Iki over
thrown unless thou shouldst come to my res

ho continued tbo prayer twforo God, and
then bo row) nnd went to nn old blotter thnt

and thero lay a shoot of llgures which bo only

answered lib prayer as ho will answer your

And ir wbnt I bavo said this morning b truo,

ho hit Ux)ii tho plan of soaking somo corn in
whisky and placing It In tho fluid, so that the
i crows would uat It und gut drunk, and thus
unablo him to havo n sure and easy thing of
' killing them. Ho had tried the shotgun, but
crows tauell xiwdor a long way After soak
ing somo corn over night bo put a gcxxl su
' ply In tbo field next morning, nnd in two or

on. Ono of the crows, a llttlo larger than tho
rest, hail takon KKsossion of nearly all tho
corn, had built himself a bar out of somo
clods of earth nnd was retailing tho whisky
soaked corn to tbo other crows, cbirglug
them three grains of sprouted for ono of

proceeding so human that bo killed not a
