An Intcrrotlug ami ItiMroctlu nisroonio y ' Talii'n from Milttlirw All. 2. iih Fol low h: “With What M*»:ftHurt Von Mrt«, Kl Klmll lie McaMirnl to You Again." In the greatest Kcrmr n ever prea< hed M* — a sermon about fifteen minutes long according to the ordinary rate of tipeerh a sermon on the Mount of Olive*, the preacher, silting while he ■poke, according to the ancient mode of oratory, the people were given to K understand that the same yard-stick jf that they employed upon others would he employed upon themselves. Meas ure others by a harsh rule, and you will lie measured by a harsh rule. h Measure others by a charitable rule and you will be measured by a char itable rule. Give no mercy to others, anil no merrn malcontents, or bem outlaws, or born swindlers. There is in England a school that is called the Princess Mary school.

Now he wants to extricate himself. He goes a little further on In the wrong Investment. He takes a plunge further ahead, for he wants to save his wife and children, he wants to save his home, he wants to save his member ship in the church. He takes one more plunge and all is lost. Some morning at 10 o'clock the bank door is not opened, and there is a caul on the door signed by an officer of the bank, indirating that there is trouble, and the name of the defaulter or the defrauder heads the newspaper col umn. and hundreds of m n say; ' Hood for him.” hundreds of other men say, "I’m glad he's found out at last; hun dreds of others sav. "Just as I told you;" hundreds of other men say. "We couldn't possibly have been tempted to do that- no eonjuuctlon of circum stances could ever have overthrown me;” and there is a superabundance of indignation, but no pity. The heavens full of lightning, but not one drop of dew. If God treated us as society treats that man we would all h:ne been in hell long ago. Wait for the alleviating cinumdan ces. Perhaps he may have been the dupe of others. Before you let all the hounds out from their kennel to maul and tear that mac, find out if he has not Lien brought up In a ccmmerc'al establishment where there was a wiong system of ethics taught; find cut wltcher that man has not an extrava gant wife who is r.ot satisfied with bis honest earnings, and in the temptation to please her he is gone into that ruin into which enough men have fallen, and by the game temptation, to make a procession of many miles. Perhaps some sudden sickness nitty have tou'li ed his brain, and his judgment may lie unbalanced. He is wrong, he is aw fully wrong, and he must be toiv.omn i*d, hut there may be mitigating cir cumstances. Perhaps, under the same temptation voti might have fallen. Tha reason some men do not steal two hun dred thousand dollars Is liccms? they do not get a chance! Have righteous Indignation you must about that man’s conduct, but temper it with mercy. But, you say: ”1 am sorry that the innocent should suffer.” Yes, 1 am, too sorry for the widows and orphans who lost their all lay that defalcation. I am sorry for the business m>n, the honest business nun. who have had their affairs all crippled by that, defal cation. I am soiry for the venerable bank president to whom credit of that hank war a matter of pride. Yes. I am sorry also for that man who brought all the distress; sorry that he sacrificed body, mind, soul, reputation, heaven, and went into the blackness of dark ness forever. You defiantly nay; “I could not be tempted in that way.” Perhaps you may be tested after awhile. God has a very good memory, and be some times seems to say: “This man feels so strong in his Innate power and good ness he shall lie tested; he is so full of bitter invective against that unf >r tunate it shall he shown now whether he has the power to eland.” Fifteen years go by. The wheel of fortune turns several times, and you are in a crisis that you never could have an ticipated. Now, all the powers of darkness come around, and they chuckle and they chatter and they say: “Aha! here is the old fellow who was so proud of his integrity, and who bragged he couldn't be overthrown by temptation, and was so uproarious in his demonstrations of indignation at the defalcation fifteen years ago. Let us see!” God lets the man go. God. who had kept that man under his protecting care, lets the man go. and try for him self tho majesty of his integrity. God letting the man go. the powers of dark ness pounce upon him. I see you some day in your omce in gnat excitement. One of two things you t an do. Be honest, and be pauperized, and have your children brought home from school, your family dethroned in so cial influence.
