We did not iknow there was anything wrong going on." It was their duty to know. They etood in a position which deluded the people with the idea that they were care- fully observant. Calling themselves direc- tors, they did not direct. They had op- portunity ot auditing account! and in- ;epectiog the books. No time to do so? Then they had no business to accept the ‘position. It seems to be the pride of some moneyed men to be direcmrs in a great many institutions. and all they know is whether or not they get their dividends regularly, and their names are used as decoy ducks to bring others near enough to be made game of. What first of all is needed is that 500 bank directors and insurance company directors resign or attend to their business as directors.

First of all, I charge the blame on careless, indifl'erent hank directors and boards having in charge great financial institutions. It ought not to be possible for a president or cashier or prominent ofl’icer of a banking institution to swindle it your after year without detection. I will undertake to say that if these frauds are carried on for two or three years without detection either the directors are partners in the infamy and pocket part of the theft or they are guilty of a culpable kneglect or duty, for which God will hold athem as responsible as he holds the acknowledged defrauders. What right 'have prominent business men to allow their names to be published as directors in a financial institution. so that unso- phisticated peeple are thereby induced to deposit their money in or buy the scrip thereof. when they. the published direc- tors. are doing nothing for the safety of the institution?

The recitation of all the cute- chiems and creeds ever written and partaking of all the communion chalice: that ever clittered in the churches of Christendom will never save your soul unless your business character corre- sponds with your religious profession. Some of the worst scoundrels in America have been members of churches, and they got hit on sermons about heaven when they most needed to have the pulpits preach that which would either bring them to repentance or thunder them out of the holy communions where their pres- ence was a sacrilege and an infamy.

'1 here are time-i when we all borrow, and borrow legitimately, and borrow with the divine blessing, for Christ in his sermon on the mount enjoins, “From him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.” A youmz man rightly bor- rows money to get his education.

How many more bank presi- dents and bank cashiers have been specu- lating with other people‘s money and -lw\v many more bank directors are in imbecile silence, letting the perfidy go on, the great and patient God only knows. My opinion is that we have got near the bottom. The wind has been pricked from the great bubble of Ameri- can speculation. The men who thought that the judgment day was at least 5.000 years ofl found it in 1808 Jr 1807 0:1896, and this nation has been taught that men must keep their hands out of other people's pockets. Great businesses built on borrowed capital have been obliter ated. and men who had nothing have lost all they had. I believe we are started . on a higher career of prosperity than 1 this land has ever seenâ€"if and if and if. Evils of speculation. If the first men. and specially Christian men. will learn never to speculate upon borrowed capitalâ€"if you have a mind to take your own money and turn it all into kites, to fly them over every common ' in the United States. you do society no ‘ wrong. except when you tumble your ! helpless children into the poorhouse fori the public to take care of. But you have i no right to take the money of others and 1 turn it into kites. 'lhere is one word that has deluded more people into bank- ‘ runtcy and state prison and ruin than; any other word in commercial life, and i ; that is the word borrow. That one word ? embezzlements and financial consterna. tions of the last :20 years. When execu- tors couclude to speculate with the funds of an estate committed to their charge, they do not purloin; they say they only borrow. When a banker makes an over- draft upon his institution. he does not commit a theft; he only borrows. When the officer of a company, by a flaming ' advertisement in some religious paper; and gilt certificatiof stock, getsa multi-' tude of country people to put their small earnings to an enterprise for carrying on some undeveloped nothing, he does not. fraudulently take their money; he only! is responsible for all the defalcations and i borrows. When a young man with easy access to his employer‘s money drawer or the confidential clerk by close propinqu- ity to the account looks takes a few dol- lars for a Wall street excursion. he ex- pects to put it back. He will put it all naciz. He will put it all back very soon. He only borrows. Why, when you are going to do wrong, pronounce so long a word as borrow, a word of six letters. when you can get a shorter word more :i-ncriptive of the reality, a word of only ave lettersâ€"the wozd steal? $1 per unnum. We also deplore abuse of trust, funds, because the abusors fly in the face of divine goodness, which seems determined to bless this land. We am having a series of unexampled national harvests. The whens gamblers get: hold of the wheat, and the corn gamblers get hold of the corn. The full tide of God's mercy to- ward this land is pus back by those great o! the centuries and indispensable to commerce and the advance of nations. With one hand it blesses the lender, and with the other it blesses the borrower. On their shoulders are the Interests of private individuals and great corpora- tions. In them are the great arteries through which run the currents of the nation's life. They have been the re~ sources of the thousands of financiers in days of business exigency. They stand for accommodation. for facility, for in- dividual, state and nationalreliet. At their head and in their management there are as much interest and moral worth as in any class of men, perhaps more. How nezarious, then. the behavxor of those who bring disrepute upon this venerable. benignant and God honored institution! arrest, the! president and secretary of a bank for an embezzlement carried on for many years, he aura to have plenty of Iherifls out the same day to arrest. all the directors. They are guilty either of neg- lenu or complicity. \\ hen It Is Right to Borrow. I have also a word 0: comfort for all who suffer from the malfeasance of others, and every honest man, woman and child does suffer from what goes on in financial scampdom. Society is so bound together that all the misfortunes which good people sufler in business matters come from the misdeeds of others. Bear up under distress. strong in God. He will see you throuuh, though your - misfortunes should be centupled. Scientists tell us that a column of air 45 miles in height rests on every man’s head and shoulders. But thq't is nothing compared with the pressure that business there are many who have trust funds. It is a compliment to you that you have been so intrusted, but I charge you. in the presence of God and the world, be as careful of the property or others as you . are careful of your own Above all, keep ‘ your own private account at the bank , separate from your account as trustee of ' an estate or trustee of an firl‘tilutlon. , That is the point at which thousands of I people make shipwreck. They get the property of others mixed up with their own property. They cut it into invest- ; mont, and away it all goes, and they ‘ cannot return that which they horrowwi. l I l Gathered in all religious assemblages I I Then comes the explosion, and the money market is shaken, and the press denounces. and the church thunders ex- pulsion You have no right to use the ’ property of others, except for their ad-l l vantage, not without their consent, un- l 1 less they are minors. It with their con- ‘ sent you invest their property as well as ‘ you can, and it is all lost, you are not to blame. You did the host you could, but do not come into the delusion, which has, ruined so many men. of thinking because! a thing is in their possession therefore it is theirs. You have a solemn trust that, God has given you. In any assemblage there may be some who have misappro- priated trust funds. Put them back, or if you have so hopelessly involved them that you cannot put them back confess the whole thing to those whom you have wronged, and you will sleep better nights and you will have the better chance for your soul. What a sad thing it would be if after you are dead your administrator should find out from the account books or from the lack of vouchers that you are not only bankrupt in estate. but that you lost your soul. It all the trust funds that have been misappropriated should end- denly fly to their owners and all the property that has been purloined should suddenly go back to its owners, it would crush into ruin every city in amerlca. Dishonesty Does Not Pay. Let me say in the most emphatic man- ner to all young men. dishonesty will never pay. An abbot wanted to buy a piece of ground, and the owner would not sell it, but the owner finally consent- ed to let it to him until he could raise one crop, and the abbot sowed acorns, a crop of 200 years! And I tell vou, young man, that the dishonesties which you plant in your heart. and life will seem to he very insignificant, but they will grow. up until they will overshadow you with horrible darkness, overshadow all time and all eternity. It will not be a crop for 200 years. but a crop for everlasting ages. on Saturday and Monday as on the day between and not to be a mere periphrasis of sanctity. Our religion ought to first clean our hearts and then it ought to clean our lives. Religion is not, as some seem to think. a sort of church delecta- tion. a kind of confectionary, a sort of spiritual caramel or holy gumdrop or sanctified peppermint or theological an- aesthetic. It is an omnipotent principle, all controlling, all conquerinv. You may get along with something less than that, and you may deceive yourself with it, out you cannot deceive God, and you cannot deceive the world. The keen busi- ness man will out on his spectacles, and he will look clear through to the back of your head and see whether your religion is a fiction or a iact. And you cannot hide your samples of sugar or rice or tea or cofl'eo: if they are {also you cannot hide them under the cloth of a commun- ‘ ion table. All your prayers go for notn- ‘ lag so ions: as you misrepresent your banking institutions, and in the report of the resources you put down more specie. and more fractional currency, and more clearing house certificates. and more legal tender notes, and more loans, and more discounts than there really are, and when you give an ae-count or yourliahili- ties you do not mention all the unpaid dividends and the United States bank notes outstanding, and the individual deposits, and the obligations to other banks and bankers. An authority more scrutinizing than that of any bank ex- aminer will go through and through and through your business. \ i no more than you make. And let us ad- just all our businvas and our homes by the principles of the Christian religion. Our religion ought to mean just as much Live Within Yuur Means. Here is something that needs to be sounded into uhe ears of all the young men of America and iterated and reiter- ated if this country is over to be deliver- ed from its calamitius and commercial prosperity is to be established and per- petuatedâ€"live within ycux means. Spend a man who died for his evangelismâ€" peerieal Paulâ€"wrote to tho Romans, “Provide things honest in she sight or all menz" wrote to the Corinthians, “Do that which is honest;" wrote to tho Philippians, “Whatsoovar things are hon- ost;” wrote to the Hebrews, “Willing in all things to live honestly.” The Biblo says that faith without works is dead. which. being liberally trunslutod, means that it your business life does not corro- spoud with your profession your religion in a humbug. It 1 had only a worldly weapon to wk: on this subject, I would give you the fact, fresh from the highest authority, that 90 per cent. of those who go into wild speculation lose all, but I have a better warning than a worldly warning. From the place where men have perished â€"body, mind. soulâ€"stand 03, stand off! Abstract pulpit discussion must step aside on this question. Faith and repent- ance are absolutely necessary, but faith and repentance are no more doctrines of the Bible than commercial integrity. 1 “Reader to all their dues." “Owe no man anything.” And while I mean to preach faith and repentance, more and more to preach them. I do not mean to spend any time in chasing the Hittites and Jebusites and Girgaehitee of Bible times when there are so many evils right around us destroying men and women for time and for eternity.
