THE CAUSES OF POVERTY.

The KrrrlimtinK Tariff Dlsirnmiloii Life Insurance I reil Tb "Wltlcuprrml lui providence- The Ciospel of Helping th-rn A Paid Ip ItIie for Eternity. BROOKLYN". Jan. ".It ?e?med appropriate that Dr. Talmas should preach this sermon after his personal contribution of 3,000 pour.tis of meat and 2,000 loaves of bread to the poor who gathered shivering in the cold around the bakery and meat store of Brooklyn, where the food was distributed without tickets and no re-ecfcnmedatSon required f-xcept hunger. The text was Matthew xxvi. 11, "Ye have the poor always with you." "Who said that? Th" Chri?t who never owned anything during his earthly stay. 3 lis cradle and his grave were borrowed. Every f.g he at" was from some one else's tree. Every drop of water he drank was from smie one else's well. To pay his personal tax. Which was very small, only 2V cents, he had to perform a miracle and make a fih pay It. All the nights and depths and lengths and breadths of poverty Christ measured in his earthly experience, and when lie comes to scerik of destitution. Jle always speaks syjiiiathetically. and what He sail thn is us true now, "Ye have the poor always with you." For 6,000 years the bread question has been the active and absorbing c(uestion. "Witness the people crowding tip to Joseph's storehouse in Egypt. "Witness the famine In Sam.irii and Jerusalem. Witness the 7.0' hungry people for whom Christ multiplied the lo;, ves. Witness .The uncounted millions of people now living who. I believe, have never yet had one full meal of fc-vJthful and nutritious food in all their h.-tr. Think of the "TA great families in Eng!and. Think of the .",fi(") pet pie under ht hoof of hunter year bei". ire last in Tiussla. The failure ef the Xile to ovenlow for f-evtn years in the eleventh century left these regions depopulated. Hague of insects in Es.gla nd. Plague of rats in Madras presidency. Plague of ml:e in Essex. Plaguo of lueusts in China. Plague of grushoppt-rs in America. Devastation wrousht by drought, by deluge, ty frost, by w;ir, by hurrieS-ne. by earthquake, by comets tiyir.g too near the earth, by change m the management of national finan.es, by baleful causes innumerable. I proofed to give you three or four reasons why my text is markedly and graphically true in this year lrt4. The Tariff Controversy. The first reason we have airways the poor with u:- is because of the perpetual overhauling of the tariff question, or, as I shaJl call it. the tarifhe coatroversy. There is a need for such a word, and so I take the responsibility of manufacturing It. Thre are millions of people who axe expecting that the present congress of the United States will do something one way or another to end this discussion. But it will never end. When I was five years of age I remember hearing my father and his neighbors in vehement discussion of this very nuestion. It was high tariff or low tariff or no tariff at all. When your great-grandchild dies at ninety years of age it will probably be from overexertion in- discussing the tariff. On the day the world is destroyed there will be three men standing on the postoflioe steps one a high tariff man, another a low tariff man and the other a free-trade man each one red in the faco from excited argument on the subject. Other questions may get quieted the mormon question, the silver question, the pension question, the civilFervlce question. All questions of annexation may come to peaceful settlement by the annexation of islands two weeks' voyage aaj- and the heat of their volcanoes conveyed through pipes under the sea made useful in warming our continent, or annexation of the moon, dethroning the queen of niht, who is said to be dissolute, and bringing the lunar populations under the influence of our free institutions, y.-a, all other questions, national and international, may b settled but this tarime question, never. It will not only never be settled, but it can never ho moderately quiet for more than three years at a time, each party getting into power taking one of the four years to fix it up, and then th next party will fix it down. Our finances cannot gt well because of too many doctors. It is with sick nations fi.s with sir-k individuals. Here is a man terribly di.-ordrrc-d as to his body. A doctor is called in und he administers a febrifuge, a spoonful every hour. Hut recovery is postponed and the anxious friends call in another doctor and he Fays. "What this patient needs Is bloodletting: now roll up your sleeve," and the lancet Hn?hes. Put still recovery is postponed and a homeopathic doctor i3 caüed in and he administers some small pellets and says. "All the patient wants Is rest." Recovery Is till postponed, the family say that such i mall pellets cannot amount to much anyhow, and an allopath!:; doctor is called in and he says. "What this pati'-nt wants is calomel and jalap." Recovery still postponed, a hydropathic doctor is c alled in and he says, "What this patient wants is hot and cold baths, an! he must have them riht away. Turn on th faucet and get ready the shower baths'." Recovery still jctponed, an e -lectio doctor is called in and he brings all the schools to b;-ar upon th poor sufferer, and the patient, after a brave Strugs'? for life, expires. What killed him? Too r.-ry doctors. And that is what is killing our national finances. My pernor, ni friends. Cleveland and Harrison and Carlisle and McKinley and Sherman, as talented and lovely and splndid m-n as walk the earth, all good doctors, but their treatment of our larguihing finances is so different that neither treatment has a full opportunity, and under tha constant changes it is simply wonderful that the nation still live. The tariff question will never be settled, because of th fact, wh' h I have never h -ard any one recognize, but rwTtlv-l's the- fact,, that high tariff i best for om people and free trade is rst for r-thi rs. Th!. tarifne controversy keeps business truck through with uncertainty, and that uncertainty r?ults in poverty and wretehedn-ss for a vast multitude of p"ople. If eternal gah on this subject could have been fashioned into loaves of brad, there would not be a hungryman or woman or child on all the pian"t. To the end of time the words of the text will be kept true by the tarime controversy "Ye have the poor always with you." The Cnnoe Alcoholic. Another cause of perpetual poverty is the cause alcoholic. The victim does not last long. He soc.n crouches into th drunkard's grave. But what about his wif and children? She taks In washing, when sh cm get it. or goes out working on small wagrs, because sorrow and privation have left her incapacitated to do a strong woman's work. Th children are thin-blooded and gaunt and p-ije and weak, standing around ia Cuid rooms, or pitching pennies; on the street corner, and munching a slice of unbuttered bread when thy can yt it, sworn at by passers by because they d not g--t out of the way, kicked onward toward manhood or womanhood, for which they have no preparation except a depraved appetite and frail constitution, candidates for almhouse and penitentiary. Whatever other causes of poverty may fail, the &u.loon may be dapendd on to

furnish an ever increasing throng of paupers. Oh. ye grogsheps of Brooklyn and Xew York and of all the cities 1 Ye mouths of hell! when will ye cease to craunch and devour? There is no danger of this liquor business failing. All other styles of business at times fail. Dry goods stores go under. Grocery stores go under. Hardware stores go under. Harness makers fail, druggists fail, bankers fall, butchers fail, bakers fail, confectioners fall, but the liquor dealers never. It is the only secure business I know of. Why the permanence of the alcoholic trade? Because, in the first place, the men in that business, if tight up for money, only have to put into large quantities cf water more strychnine and logwood and nux vomica and vitriol and other congenial concomitants for adulteration. One quart of the real genuine pandemoniac lixir will do to mix up with several fraJlons of milder damnation. Desides that, these dealers can depend on an increase of demand on the iart of their customers. The more of that stuff they drink the thirstier they are. Hard times, which stop ether business, only increase that business, for men go there to drown their troubles. They take the spirits down to keep their spirits up. There is an inclined plane down which alcoholism slides its victims. Claret, champagne, port, cognac, whisky, Tom and Jerry, sour mash, on and down until it is a sort of mixture of kerosene Oil, turpentine, toadstools, swill, essence of the horse blankets and general mistiness. With Its red sword of flame that liquor power marshals its procession, and they move on in ranks long enogh to girdle the earth, and the procession is headod by the nose blotched, nerve shattered, iheum eyed, lip bloated, soul set rclud inebriates. foll:.ved by the women, who, though brought up in comfortable homes, now go limping past with aches and pains and pallor and hunger and woe, followed by their children, barefoot, uncombed, freezing, and with ri wrechedness of time r.nd eternity seemingly compressed in their agonized features. "Forwai-d. march!" cries the liquor business to that army without banners. Keep that influence moving on. and you will have the poor always with you. Rejort comes from one of the cities, where the majority of th inhabitants are out of work and dt pendent on charity, yet last year they spent more in that city for rum than they did for clothing and groceries. The Spirit of Improvidence. Another warranty that my text will prove true in the perpetual poverty of the world Is the wicked spirit of improvidence. A vast number of people have such small incomes that they cannot lay by in savings bank or life insurance 1 cent a year. It takes every farthing they can earn to spread the table, and clothe the family, and educate the children, and if you blame such people for improvidence you enact a cruelty. On such a salary as many clerks and empir es and many ministers of religion live, and on such wages n? many woricmo-n receive, they cannot in twenty years lay up 20 cents. But you know and I know many who have competent incomes and could provide somewhat for the future who live up to every dollar, and when they die their children go to the poor-house or on the street By the time the wife gets the husband buried she is in debt to the und rtaker and gravedigger for that which she can never pay. While the man lived he had his wine parties and fairly stunk with tobacco and then expired, leaving his family upon the charities of the world. I)o not send for me to come and conduct the obsequies and read over sueh a carcass the beautiful iiturcy, "Blessed are the dead who die In the Lord," for instead of that I will turn over the leaves of the bible to First Timothy, fifth chapter, eighteenth verse, where it says "If any provide not for his own. and esp-cially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an inlidel." or 1 will turn to Jeremiah, twenty-second chanter, nineteenth verse, where it says. "He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast ftrth beyond thegates of Jerusalem." I cannot imagine ?.ny more unfair or meaner thing than for a man to get his sins pardoned at he last minute, and then go to heaven and live in a mansion, and go riding about in a goiden chariot, over the golden street. wht!his wife and children, whom he mischt have provided for, are begging for cH victuals at the basement door of an earthly city. It seems to me there oucht to be a poorhouse somewhere on the outskirts of heaven, where those guilty of such improvidence should be kppt for awhile on thin soup and gristle, instead of sitting down to a kind's banqret. It is seid that the church is a divine institution and I believe it. Just as certainly are the savings banks and the life insurance companies divin? institutions. As out of evil good ofren comes, so out cf the doctrine of probabilities, calculated by Fror. Eugens find Prof. Pascal for games of chance, came the calculation of the probabilities of human life as used by life insurance companies, and no business on earth is more stable or honorable, and no mightier mercy for the human race has been born since Christ was horn. Rord beyond endurance for my signature cf papers of all sorts, there is one style of paper that I always s'gn with a feeling of gladness and triumph, and that is a paper which the life insurance company requires from the clergyman after a decease in his congregation, in order to the payment of the policy to the bereft household. I always write my name then so they can rend it. I cannot help but to say to myself: "Good for that men to have looked fcfter his wife and children after earthly departure. May he have one cf the best seats in heaven!" Young man! The day before or the day after you get married, go to a life insurance company of established reputation a:id get the medical examiner to put Jf.e stethoscope to jour lungs and his ear close up to your heart, with your vest off, and have signed, sealed arid delivered to you a document that will, in the case of your sudden departure, make for that lovely girl the difference between a queen and a pauper. I have known men who have had an income of J"!,000, 4.000. Jö.G'W a year who old not leave one farthing to the surviving household. Now, that man's death 13 a defalcation, an outrage, a swindle. He did not die; he absconded. There are 1 .00.000 people in America todny a-hungered through the sin of improvidence. "But," as some, "my income is 60 email I cannot afford to pay the premium on a life insurance." Are you sure about that? If you are sure, th?n you have a right to depend on the promise in Jeremiah xlix, 11: "Leave thy fatherless children. I will preserve them alive, and let thy widows trust in me." But. if you are able to. remember you have no right to ask God to do for your household that which you can do for them yourself. For the benefit of those young mn, excuse a practical personality. Heprinning my life's work on the munifi?ent salary of J500 a year and a parsonage, and when the call was placed in my hands I did not know how in the world I would ever be able to spend that amount of money, and I remember indulging in a devout wish that I might not be led into worldliness and prodigality by such and overplus of resources, and at a time when articles of food and clothing were higher than they are now. I felt it a religious duty to get my life insured, and I presented myself at an office of one of the great companies, and I stood pale and nervous lest the medical examiner might have to declare that I had consumption and heart disease and a half-doen mortal ailments, but when I got the document, which I have yet in full force. I felt a sense of manliness and confidence and quietude and reen forcement. which is a good thing for any young man to have. For the lack of that feeling there are thousands of men today In Greenwood and Laurel Hill and Mount Auburn who might as well have been alive and well and supporting their families. They got a little sick and they were so worried about what would become of their houFe-

sicians ana iney aieu iw icar ui uj wö 1 have for many years been such an ardent advocate of life insurance and rny sermon on "The Crime of Not Insuring" has been so long used on both sides of the sea by the chief life insurance companies that some people have supposed that I received monetary compensation for what I have said and written. Not a penny. I will give every man a hundred dollars for every penny I have received from any life insurance company. What I have said and written on the subject has resulted from the conviction that these institutions are a benediction to the human race. But alas! for the widespread improvidence! You are now in your charities helping to support the families of men who had more income than you now have or ever have had. or ever will have, and j'ou can depend on the improvidence of many for the truth of my text in ail times and in all places "Ye have the poor always with you." llntnan Incapacity. Another fact that you may depend upon for perpetual poverty is the Incapacity of many to achieve a livelihood. You can sro through any community and find good people, with more than usual mental caliler, who never have bf. nable to support themselves and their households. They are a mystery to us, and we say, "I do not know what is the matter with them, but there is a screw loose somewhere." Some of these persons have more brain than thousands who make a splendid success. Some are too sanguine of temperament, and they see bargains where there are none. A common minnow is to ihrn a. goldfish, and a quail a flamingo, and a blind mule on a towpath a Bucephalus. They buy when things are highest and sell when things are lowest. Some one tells them of city lots out west, where the foundation of the first house has not yet been laid. They say, "What an opportunity!" and they put down the hard cash for an ornamented deed for ten lots under water. They hear of a new silver mine opened in Nevada and they say, "What a chance!" and they take the little money they have in the savings bank and piy it out for as beautiful a certificate of mining stock as was ever primed, and the only thlng they will ever g?t out of the investment is the aforesaid illuminated lithograph. They are always on the vergo of millionairedom and are sometimes worried as to whom they shall bequeath their excess of fortune. They invest in aerial machines or new inventions in perpetual motion, and they sucv-evd 1n what mathematicians think impossible, the squaring of a circle, for they do everything on the square and win the whole circle of disappointment. They are good, honest, brilliant failures. They die poor and leave nothing to their families but a model of some invention that would not work and whole portfolios of diagrajns of things impossible. I cannot help but like them, because they are so cheerful with great expectations. But their children are a bequest to the bur-tiu of city charities. Others administer to the crop of the world's misfortune by being too unsuspecting. Honest themselves, they believe all others are honest. They are fleeced and scalped and vivisected by the sharpers in all styles rf business, and cheated out of everything between era del and grave, r.nd thne two exceptions only because they have nothing to do in bining either of them. Others are retained for misfortune by inopportun sickness. Just as that lawyer was to make the plea that would have put him among the strong men of t lie profession, neuralgia stung him. Just as that physician was to prove his skill in an epidemic, his own poor hep.lth Imprisoned him. Just as that merchant must be M the store for ome decisive and introductory bargain, he sits with a rheumatic joint on a pillow, the room re-do!-it with liniment. What an overwhelming statistic would le the story of men and wonrn and children impoverished by sicknesses! Then the cyclones. Then the Mississippi and Ohio freshets. Then the stopping of factories. Then the curculioa among the Pich trees. Then the insect ile d?a?tation of potato patches and wheat fields. Then the epizootics among the horses and the hollow born among the herds. Then the rains that drown out everything find the droughts that burn up half a continent. Tln the o ranee groves die under, the white ter-th of the hoar frost. Then the coal strikes and the iron strikes and the mechanics' strikes, which all strike lalor harder than they strike capital. Then the yellow fey-r at Brunswick and Jacksonville and Shrevrport. Then the cholera at the Narrows, threatening- to land in N.w York. Then the Charl ston ortrthO'lf.k?. Thn the .Tohrr-town flood. Then hurricanes sweepinrr from Caribbean sen to Newfoundland. The,, there are the great monopolies that sully the arth with thHr oppressions. Then there are the necessities of buying coal by tlr scutt!" ibstead of the ton. and flour by the pound instead of the barrel, and so the injustices an multiplied. In the wake of all the-se are overwhelming Illustrations of the truth of my tet, "Ye have the poor always with you." , i Old Insurance Company. P.emember a fact that no on emphasizes a fact, nevertheless, upon which I want to put the weight of an eternity of tonnage that the best way of insuring yourself and your children and your grandchildren acalnst poverty and all other troubles is by helping others. I am an agent of the oldest insurance company that wrs ever established. It is near 3,000 years old. It has the advantage of all the other plans of insurance whol life potties, endowment, joint life and survivorship policies! ascending and descending scales of premium and touting and it pays up while you live and it pays up after you are dead. Every cent 3-ou give in a Christian spirit to a poor man or woman, every i hoe you give to a bare foot. evry stick of wood or lump of coal you give to a tireless hearth, every drop of medicine you give to a poor invalid, every star of hope you make to shine over the unfortunate maternity, every mitten you knit for cold fingers, is a payment on the premium of that poliev. I hand about f.OO.O'tO.ooO policies to ail who will go forth and aid the unfortunate. There are only two or three lines in this policy of life insurance Ps. vli, l: "Blessed is he that oonsi Weth the poor. The Lord will deliver lim in time of trouble." Other life 'nsurance companies may fail, but this Celestial life insurance company never. The Lord God Almighty is at the head of it, and all the angels of heaven are in its board of direction, and its assets are all worlds, and all the charitable of earth and heaven are the beneficiaries. "But," says some one, "I do not like a tontine policy so well, and that which you offer Is more like a tontine and to bo chiefly paid in this life." "Blessed is he that consldereth the poor. The Lord will deliver him In time of trouble." Well, if you prefer the old-fashioned policy of life insurance, which is not paid till after death, you can le accommodated. That will be given you in the day of Judgment, and will be handed you by the right hand, the pieroed hand, of our Lord himself, and all you do in the right spirit for the poor is payment on the premium of that life Insurance policy. I read you a paragraph of that policy: "Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, 'Come ye blessod of my Father, for I was hungered and ye gave me meat, 1 was thirsty and ye gave me drink. T was a stranger and ye took me in, naked and ye clothed me.' " In various colors of ink other life? insurance policies are written. This one 1 have Just shown you is written in only one kind cf ink, and that rod Ink the blood of the cross. Blessed be God that is a "paid-up policy." Paid for by the pangs &f the Son of God, and all we add to it in the way of our own good deeds will augment the sum of eternal felicities. Yes, the time will come when the banks of largest capital stock will all go down, and the fire insurance companies will all go down, and the life insurance companies will all

"Disfigured

Is the despairing cry of thousands afflicted with Unsightly skin diseases. Do you realize what this disfiguration means to sensitive souls ? It means isolation, seclusion. It is a bar to social and business success. Do you wonder that despair seizes upon these sufferers when Doctors fail, Standard remedies fail, And nostrums prove worse than useless ? Skin diseases are most obstinate to cure t or even relieve. It is an tasy matter to claim to cure them, but quite another thing to do so. CUTICURA Has earned the right to be called the Skin Specific Because for years it has met with most remarkable success. There are cases that it cannot cure, but they are few indeed. It is no long-drawn-out expensive ex. periment. 25c. invested in a cake of CUTICURA SOAP Will prove more convincing than a page of advertisement. In short, CUTICURA WORKS WONDERS.
