TALMAGE’S SE1IMU.V, A Pointed Disoourse on “Th« Age e of Swindle.” y. The Ctnleu DirtcUan at ltenhs and Other Fiscal Institutions H.espuusl. Me for the Blanr I>rlaIcatlonii —I If*, son* to be I<eKr»etl. Rot. T. Dewitt Talma ;e preac-L.-d the following serin on at Brooklyn Tabernacle, taking for his subject “The Age of Swindle.” His text wasi Whose trust shall be a spider’s wob.—JoB Till. 14. Dr. Talmage said: The two most skill- ■ fnl architects in all the world are the bee . and the spider. The one puts op a sugar manufactory and the other builds a slaughter-house for Bias. O.i a bright summer morning, when ihe t on comes out and shines upon the spider’s web, bedecked with dew, the gossamer structure seems bright enough for u suspension bridee for supernatural beings to cross on. But alas for Ihe poor fly w hich, in the latter part of that Tery day, ventures on it, and Is caught and dungeoned and destroyed. The fly was informed that is was a fine bridge and would cost nothing, but at the other end of the bridge the toll paid was its own life. The next there comes down a strong wind, and away goes tbs web and tie marauding spider and the victimigrd fly. So delicate are the silken threads of the spsler’s wed that many thousands cf them are pat together before they become risible to the human eye, and it takes4,000,000 of them to make a thread as. large as the human hair. Most oruol as well, as most ingenions is the spider. A prisoner in the Bastile, Francs, bad one so trained! that at the sound of a violin it every day came for its meal of flier. Job, tlte author of my text and the leading scientist of bis day, had no doubt watched the voracious process of this one insect with another, and saw spider and fly swept down with the same broom or scattered by the same wind. Alas, that the world has so many designing spiders and victimised flies. There has not boon a time when the utter and black irresponsibility of many men baring the financial interests of others in charge, has been more evident than in these last few rears. The unrooflug of banks and disappearance of administrators with the funds of large estates and the disorder amid postoffice accounts and deficits amid United States tfficials, have made a pestilence of critBSjjfetnat solemnises every thoughtful ma^lpdVonmn. and leads every philauIhrcwt^aud' Christian to ask: What shalixfe gone to stay the plagued Thera is a manyoon abroad, a typhoon, a sirocco. I sometimes ask myself if It would not lie better for men making wills to bequeath the property directly to the executors aud officers of the court, and appoint the widows and orphans a committee to see

mat me lormei sot sn mat u>u oat tar* loug to them. The simple fact is that there are a large number of men sailing yachts and driving fast horses, and members’of expensive c'ub booses and control ing country seats whoure not worth a dollar if they return to others their jsat rights. Under some sudden frererts they fail, and with afflicted air seem to retire from the world, and seem almost ready tor monastic life, when iln two or three years they blossom cot again, having ct mrrotnised w.th their creditors,that is, pad them nothing but regrets, and the only difference between the second chapter of prosperity and the Urst, is that their pictures are Murillos (ustead of Keusetts, and their horses go a mile in twenty seconds less than their predecessors, and instead of one country seat they hi.ve three. I have watched and have noticed that nine out of ten of those w ho fail in what is called high life have more means after than before the failure, and in many of the cases failure is only a stratagem to ascape the pavment of honest debts, and put the world off the track while they practice a large swindle. There is something woefully wrong in the fact that these things are possible. First of all, I charge the blame on careless. indifferent hank directors and boards having in chtirge great financial institutions. It ought not to be possible for a president, or a cashier, or prominent officer of a banking institution to swindle it year after year without detection. I will undertake to say that if these frauds are carried ou for two or three years without detection, either thp directors are partners in the infamy and pocketed part of the theft, or they are guilty of a culpable neglect of duty, for which God will hold them as responsib'e as he bolds the acknowledged defrauders. What right hgva prominent business men to allow their names to be published lie directors in a. fiuancial institution, so that unsophisticated people are thereby induced to deposit their money in or bay the scrip thereof, when they, the published directors, are doing nothing fur the safety of the institution!’ It it a ca-e of deception most reprehensible. Many people with a surplus of money.

not no.Mieu iut use, anuv^u »■ may be * little farther on indispensable, are without friends competent to ad vise them, and they are guided solely by the character of the men whose names are associated with the institution. When the crash came, and with tho overt hrow of the banks went the small earning* and limited fort ones of jridows and orphans, and the he'plessly aged, the directors stood with idiotic staire, and to tbs in* quiry of the frensied depositors and stockholders who had lent tiieir all, and to the arraignment of an indignant public had nothing to say accept: “We thought it was all rij'ht. We did not know therenras any thitig wrong go(aft on.*' It was their duty to know. They ntood in a position which deluded, the people with the idea that they were carefully ofaaarvant Calling theinsel 'rea directors, they, did not direct. They hud opportunity of anditing accounts and inspecting the books. Ifo time to do sof Then they had no business to accept the position. It seems to be the pride of tome monied men to he directors in a grout many instftdltcBs, and all tber know is whether oc not they get their dirideids regularly, and their names are used a» dccoy-ilncks to bring others near enough to be made game ot Wbst first of all is needed is that five thousand bank directors and insurance company directors resign or attend to their business as drector*. The business world will be full of fraud just as tong as fraud ia easy. When you arrant the president and uecretary of a bank for an embezzlement earned on for many years, have plenty of sharifis out the same day to arrest all the directors. Tboy are guilty either of neglect or complicity. “Oh 1” some one will say, “better preach tba Gospel and let basil.ess matters alone.** I reply: If your Gsepel do>s not inspire common honeuty is the dealings of men, the sooner yon close np your Gospel and pitch it into the depths of the Atlantic ocean the bitter.

At their bead and ia their management there is at much interest and moral worth as in any class or men— perhaps more.

Our religion ought to mean just ah much on Saturday and Monday as on the day between, and not be a merperlphrasis of sanctity. Our religion ought to first clean our hearts, and then it ought to clean our Uses. Religion is not, as sums seem to think, a sort of church delectation, a kind ot confectionery. a sort of spiri iia' caramel or holy gumdrop, or sanctified peppermint, or theological auaeUfcetic. It is aa omuipoteilt principle—alt controllng, all conquering. Yon maw get along with - something less than that, and you may decora yourself with it, bat you can ndf dCWkirs God, and you can not deceive thd world. The keen business man will put ett his spectacles, and he will look clear through .to Ibw back of your head and see whether your religion is n fiction or a faot. . And yon can not hide yoor sampled of sugar, or rice, or ten or coffee if they are false; you edn net hide them under the doth of a comufqnion table. All your prayers go for aotuingsd long as yon misrepresent your banking institution:, and in the amount ot the resources you put down more specie, and more fractional currency, and mar* clearing bouse certificates, and more discounts than there really are, nud when yon gire an account of your llabllitioa you do not mention i’l the unpaid dividends, and the Halted States bank notes outstanding, and the individual deposits, and the obligations to other banks and bankers,. An authority more serntinis ng than that of any tank examiner will go through and through and through your business. I stand this morning before many whn have trust foods. It il a compliment to you that you have been so intrusted; bat I charge you. In the presence of God and the wot! J, be careful, be as careful of the property of others as vou aru careful of your own. Above nil, keep yoor own private account at the bank separate from roar account as trustee of an estate, or trustee ot an institution. That is the point at which thousands of people make shipwreck. They got the property of others mixed up with their own property, they pot it Into Investment, and array It all goes, and they can not return that which they borrowed. Then comes the explosion, and the money market is shakon, and the press denounces, and the church thunders expulsion. You have no right to nso the property ot others, except for their advau

t«£e, nor without consent, unless they are minora. If with their consent yon invest their property as well as you can, and it Is a’l lost, you are not to blame, yon'did the beat yon could, but do not come into the delusion, which has ruined so many men, of thinking, because a thing Is in their pcsiession, therefore it is theirs. Ton hays a solemn trust that God has given you. In this vast assent* b: age there may be some who have misappropriated trust funds. Put them baok, or, if you have so hopelessly involved them that you can not put them back, confess the whole thing to those whom you have wronged, and you will sleep better nights, and you will-haTe the better chases for your soul. What n sad thing it wou’d be it after yon are dead, yonr admin istrstor should And out from the account bosks, or from the lack ot vouchers, that yon not only were bank- , rupt in stock, but that you lost yonr soul. If nil the trust (funds that hare been misappropriated should suddenly fly to their owners, and nil the property that has been purloined should suddenly go baok to its owners, it woo’d crash into rain every city In America. A mis denary in one of the islands of the Pacific preached on dishonesty, and the next morning he looked out of his window and he saw his yard fall of goods of all kinds. He wondered and asked the PAnsA of &U this. “Well,” said the natives, “oar gods that we have been worshiping permit os to stea', but, according to what yon said yesterday, the Sod of Heaven aDd earth will not allow this, so we bring back all these goods and we ask you to help ns In taking them to the places where they belong.” If next Sabbath ail the ministers in America should preach sermons on tha abuse of trust funds and on the evils of purlotaing, and the sermons were' aH blessed of God, and regulations were made that ail these things should be/ taken to the city balls, It would not fad long before every city hail in America would be crowded from cellar to cupola. Let me say In the most emphatic manner to nil young men, dishonesty will never pay. An abbot wanted to buy n piece W ground and the owner would not sell it, but the owner finally consented to let It to him until he coaid raise one crop, and the abbot sowed acorns, n crap of twohundred Tears t And I tell veo, young man, that the dishonesties which yon plant tit year heart and life will teem to be very insignificant, lwt they will grow up until they will overshadow yon with horrible darkness, overshadow all time and nil eternity. It will not be n crop foe two* hundred years bnta crop for everlasting ages.

I have alio a word of comrort reran who suffer from tts malfeasanos of others, and every honest man, woman and child does suffer from what goes on in financial itcampdom. Society is so bound together that all the misfortunes which good people suffer in business matters come from the misdeedes of others. Bear ap under distress, strong ia God. He will see you through, though your misfortunes should he centupled. Philosophers tell us that a column of air forty flvs miles in height rests on every man's head and shoulders. But that ia nothing compered with the pressure that business life has pot upon many of you. God mads up his mind long ago how many or how few dollars it would be bast for you to bare Trust to his appointment. The door will soon open to let you out and let you apt What shock of delight for men who for thirty yean hare been in business anxiety whan they shall suddenly awake in everlasting holi
