Yea; look at the clerical profession. I
am sorry to say that in matters cf jeal
ousy it is no better than other profes
sions. There are now in all denomina

who have a faculty for EU-erior useful

a denomination without bislnts, omo of
tin? older nit 11, with no'hing mora than
their own natural heaviness and th'H
logieal avoirdupois, tiro advised to fiat
ten out the innovator. In conferences
and pre.-'i. t eiies and associations and
conventions there is often seen the most
damnable jealousy. Such ecclesiastical
tyrants would not admit that jealousy
had any lHisse.-.sion of them, and they
take 011 a heavenly nir, ami talk sw-et.-t
oil and sugar plums and bahn of a thou
sand flowers, and roll up their ees with
an air of unctuous sancity, when they
simply mean the destruction of those
over whom they pray and snutlle. There
are ca:-es w here ministers of religion are
tier, tict ami criminal, and they must be
put out.
But, in the majority of cases that I
have witnessed in ecclesiastical trials,
there is a jealous attempt to keep nu a
from surpassing their theological fellows,
and as at the presidential elections in
country places the joople have a barlx-cue
which is a roasted ox round which the
pi-ople dance with knives, cutting oil a
slice hi re, nml pulling out a rib thert
and sawing olf a beefsteak yonaer, u;id
having a high time so most of tho
denominations of Chri-tiar.s keep on hand
a barbecue in which some minister
is rousted, while the church courts
dance around with their sharp knives
of attack, and one takes tin ear,
another a hand, another a feot, ami it is
hard to tell whether the ecclesiastical
plaiutiir.s t.f this work I or tho demons of
tin? nether world most enjoy it. Albe" t

Yes; amid all professions and businesses
ami occupations and trades, and amid
a'l circles needs to be heart I what God
says in regard to envy r.nd jealousy,
which, though not exactly tho same, aie
twins.: "Envy is the rottenness of tho
bone;" ""Where envy and strife is, there
i.s confusion and every evil work;''
"Jealousy is tho rage of a man." My
hearers, if this evil passion is in any tf
your souls, cry mightily unto God for its
expuision. ljt whieji has downed
kings and emjierors and apostles mid re
formers and ministers of religion and
thousands of good men and women, is
too mighty for you to contend against
unaided. The evil has so many roots, of
such infinite convolution, that nothing
bit the enginery cf omnipotence
can pull it out. Tradition says that when
Moses lifted up 111s hand to prav it was
all encrusted with manna, ami no sooner
do you pray than you are helped. Awey
with tho accursed, stoncnfal, biackemng,
damning crime of jealousy. Allow it to
stay and ifc will eat up and carry ole nil

for the next half century. It will do you
more harm than it does any one it leads
you to assail. It wiii deludo vou with
too it tea mat you can ?uut yeirrsel?

will make more out of the success cf
others than out of their misfortunes.
Speak weii or overybtdy. Stub no mao

Surely this world is large enough for

Substitute for jealousy an elevating
eaiulation. Seeing others good, let us
try to be better. (Seeing others industri
ous, let us work more hours. (Seeing
others benevolent, let us resolve on giv
ing larger percentages of our means for
charitv. Mav God put congratulations
for others into our right hand and cheers ;
on our lips for those who do brave -and j
useful things. Life is short at the long-
est; let it ad be filled up with help
fulness for others, work and sympathy
for each other's misfortunes, and
our arms be full of white mantles
to cover up the mistakes and failures of j
others. If an evil repoi-t about some one
come to us, let us put on it most favor- I
able construction, as the Phone enters i
Lake Lcmau foul and comes out crystal- j
line. Do not build so much on the tran- j
fcitory differences cf this world, for soon .
it will make no difference to us whether j

Until your work is done you are invul-

But so far from demolishing either his

bloody antagonists thought that they

You are not the first man who had Iim
faults li Mked at through a microscope
and his virtues through tho wrong end of
a t. lescope. Pharaoh had tin? chief
bailer and baker endungeoiied, and
tradition savs that all the bti'Ier had
done was to allow a fly in the king's cup,
and all the baker had done was to leave
a gravel in the king's bread. Tiiu world
has the habit of making a great ado
about what you do wrong and forgetting
to say anything alxmt what v-ou do right,
but the same God will take care of
you who provided for Merlin, tho
Christian martyr, v.l .: J f :. "., ,
his pursuers in a hay mow in
Paris, and a lien came and laid an egg
