But, starting to tell what I knew of General Bargoyne's mishap, here I have been on my own story. Well, the fact is that surrender holds many a good story. I will but hint of one more. Yon know that Major Aokland waa killed in a duel io London because he maintained the bravery of American officers. Lady Aokland mourned him bitterly, bnt at laat was oonsoled by the chaplain, Brudenoll, who rowed her that nigbt to the safety of General Qatea' camp. My dear Kate nodded her bead when she heard thia 8WINDLE IS ABROAD. 12-CsbbwI br Rev. S. H. Doyle. Topic:—1The Joy in finding the loat.—Luke »», i-10. "You took advantage—an unfair one." Oa Kverjr fllde Are Men Who Have AkiMil the Trust RcpoieS U Them. Basks Bankrupted and Fonda Stolen—A Sermon on Dlahoneatr. The parables of the loat sheep and the lost coin illustrate the fact that the mission of Christ in the world was to seek and to aave the lost. Incidentally Chriat speaks of the joy in finding the loat. When the shepherd found the lost ibeep, "he layetb it on his ahouldera rejoicing, and when be oometh home b« calletb bia frienda and neighbors together, saying, fie Jo ice with me, for I bave found my aheep, which waa lost." The woman who found a coin which ■he bad loat had a similar experience. She waa filled with joy, and oalled in her frienda aad neigh bora to rejoioe with bar. Mow, what oan you do when a woman takea yonr witticism in earnest? Why, I kept pretending. "But it ian't tame; nereroan be." "And why shouldn't it ba whan yon know?" We also deplore abuse of trust fundi, because the abusers fly in the face of divine goodness, which seems determined to bless this land. We are having a series of unexampled national harvests. The wheat gamblers get hold of the wheat, and the corn gamblers get hold of the corn. The full tide of God's mercy toward this land is put back by tnose great dikes 01 oisnonest resistance. When Qod provides enough food and clothing to feed and apparel thi« whole nation like prinoes, the scrabble of dishonest men to get more than their share and get it at all hazards keeps everything shaking with uncertainty and everybody asking, "What nextf" Every week makes new revelations. How many more bank presidents and bank cashiers have been speculating with other people's money and how many more bank directors are in Imbecile silence, letting the perfidy go on, the great and patient Qod only knows. My opinion is that we have got near the bottom. The wind has been pricked from the great babble of American speculation. The men who thought that the judgment day was at least 6,000 yean off found It is 1898 or 1897 or 1890, and this nation has been taught that men must keep *1m»i» hands out of other -people's pookets. Great businesses built on borrowed capital have been obliterated, and men who had nothing have lost all they had. I believe we are started on a higher career of prosperity than this land has ever seen—if mil if and if. And ahe began to rub ber band vigorously aa if ahe wonld be rid of the touoh of my lipa Suddenly ahe stopped, looking at me with a pitiful glanoe, and yet ■till blnabing. [Copyright, 1899, by American Press Asso- t; Washington, Feb. 6.—This, like many of Dr. Talmage's discourses, recommends right doing for this world as well as preparation for the heavenly world.

And ahe pointed to those dejected soldiers of the king. She added after a moment: The two most skillful architects in all the world are the bee and the spider. The one pots up a sugar manufactory and the other builds a slaughter house for flies. On a bright summer morning, when the sun comes out and shines upon the spider's web, bedecked with dew, the gossamer structure seems bright enough for a suspension bridge for aerial beings to cross on. But alas for the poor fly which In the latter part of that very day ventures on it and is caught and dungeoned and destroyed! The fly was Informed that it was a free bridge and would oost nothing, but at the other end of the bridge the toll paid was Its own life. The next day there comes down a strong wind, and away go the web and the marauding spider and the victimized fly. So delicate are the silken threads of the spider's web that many thousands of them Me put together before they become visible to the human eye, and It takes 4,000,000 of them to make a thread as large as the human hair. Most cruel as well as most Ingenious Is the spider. A prisoner in the Bastille, Tranoe, had one so trained that at the sound of the violin It every day came for Its meal of flies. The author of my text, who was a leading soientist of his day, had no doubt watched the voracious process of this one Insect with another and ■aw 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 victimized flies! There has not been a time when the utter and black Irresponsibility of many men having the financial interests of others in charge has been more evident than in these last few years. The bankruptcy of banks and disappearance of administrators with the funds of large estates and the disordered amounts of United States officials have sometimes made a pestilence of crime that solemnizes every thoughtful man and woman and leads every philanthropist and Christian to ask, What shall be done to stay the plague 7 There Is ever and anon a monsoon of swindle abroad, a typhoon, a siroooo. I sometimes ask myself If It would not be better for men making wills to bequeath the property dlreotly to the executors and officers of the court and appoint the widows and orphans a oommlttee to see that the former got all that did not belong to them. The simple fact is that there are a large number of men sailing yachts and driving fast horses and memben of expensive clubhouses and oontrolling country seats who are not worth a dollar If they return to others their just rights. Under some sudden reverse they taU, and with afflicted air seem to retire from the world, and seem almost ready for monastic life, when In two or three yean they blossom out again, having compromised with their creditors—that is, paid them nothing but regret—and the only difference between the second chaptar of prosperity and the first is that their pictures are Murlllos Instead of Kensetts, and their hones go a mile In 80 seconds Isss than their predecessors, and instead of one oountry seat they have three. I have watched and have noticed that nine out of ten of those who fall 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 escape the payment of honest debts and put the world off the track while they practice a large swindle. There la something woefully wrong in the fact that these things are possible. Ton have ashed me again for my story of the Burgoyne affair. Yea, I ought to know about it, for it waa indeed the moat important affair at my life. How, in that camp, I'll confess, waa a' girl I once had madia lore to, before the dissension divided us, before her brother waa killed in the battle where 1, too, was engaged. Kate Essex ever held this againat me, as yon will see if yon follow me. Well, she was with Lady Harriet Aokland, the major's wife, in General Burgoyne'a camp. I had been taken prisoner the day before "Yea, I'm glad I have had thia ofaanoe to prove I'm no bigot even if yon be traitor." "I feel a fool to leave all for you to "General Gatea conquered General Bnrgoyne, and I Kata Eaaex," aaid L "Did yon?" aaid she, toaaing her head. da" She went on after a panse which ahe aeemed to give me for ohance to frame an anawer.

"It's better that 'Mr. Sedley should go," General Burgoyne aaid, smiling aa if the episode amused him even in bia serious plight "He haa spoken tonight aa the straightforward gentleman, and trouble, sir, makes ua eateem eaofa other.

But you have no right to take the money of others and turn it into kites. There is one word has deluded more people into bankruptcy and state prison and ruin than any other word in commercial life, anil that is the word borrow. That one word is responsible far all the defalcations and embeaslementa and financial oonsteraattona of the last 20 yeara When executors conclude to speculate with the funds of an estate committed to their charge, they do not parloin; they say they only borrow. When a banker makea an overdraft upon his institution, he does not commit a theft; ha only borrows. When the officer of a company, by flaming advertisement in soma religious paper and gilt certlflcats of stock, gets a multitude 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 borrows. When a young man with easy aooess to his employer's money drawer or the confidential clerk by cloee propinquity to the account books takes a few dollars for a Wall street exourslon, he expects to put it back. He will put it fell back. 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 barrow, a word of six letters, when yon can get a shorter word more descriptive of the reality, a word of only five letters—the word steal?

The chaplain Brudenell had been frightened at the shots for the safety of liady Harriet, and had hastened down the river. He already had been mnoh in advanoe, I having delayed, as I have said, dnring the talk with Miss Essex, and Lady Harriet now had proceeded to Albany, as t£De major bad reoovered sufficiently..

There are times when we all borrow, and borrow legitimately, and borrow with the divine blessing, for Christ in his ssrmon on the mount enjoins, "From Mm that would borrow of thee turn not thou away."

Crises come in bnsinsss, whan it would be wrong tor a man not to borrow.

First of all, I oharge the blame on carelav, Indifferent bank directors and boards having In charge great financial institutions. It ought not to b* possible for a president or caahler or prominent officer of a hanking Institution to swindle it year after year without detection. I will undertake to aay that If theee frauds are oarrled on for two or three years without detection either the directors are partners la the Infamy and pocket part of the theft or they an guilty of a culpable neglect of duty, for which Qod will hold them as reaponalble as ha 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 unsophisticated people are thereby lnduoed to deposit their money In or buy the acrlp thereof, whan they, the published directors, are doing nothing for the safety of the Institution? It is a case of deception most reprehensible. Partners la lafaasy.

Many people with a surplus of money, not needed for Immediate uae, although It may be a little further on indispensable, are without friends oompetent to advise them, and they are guided solely by the character of the men whose names are associated with the institution. When the crash oame and with the overthrow of the banks went the small earnings and limited fortunes of widows and orphans and the helplessly aged, the directors stood with idiotic stare, and to the Inquiry of the frenzied depositors and stockholders who had lost their all and to the arraignment of an Indignant publlo had nothing to say except: "We thought it was all right. We did not know there was anything wrong going on." It was their duty to know. They stood in a position which deluded the people with the idea that they were carefully obervant. Calling themselves directors, they did not direct. They had opportunity of auditing accounts and inspecting 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 directors In a great many institutions, and all they know is whether or n&t they get their dividends regularly, and their names are used as deooy ducks to bring others near enough to be made game of. What first of all is needed is that 600 bank directors and insurance company directors resign or attend to their business as directors. The business world will be full of fraud just as long as fraud is so easy. When you arrest the president and secretary of a bank for an embezzlement carried on for many years, be sure to have plenty of sheriffs out the same day to arrest all the directors. They are guilty either of neglect or complicity. This Is unrivaled for cementing paper, cloth, leather, earthenware, wood, eta.

Spend no more than you make. And let Us adjust all our business and our homes by the principles of the Christian religion. Our religion ought to mean just as much oh 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 delectation, a kind of confectionary, a sort of spiritual caramel or holy gumdrop or sanctified peppermint or theological ansesthetio. It is an omnipotent principle, all controlling, all conquering. You may get along with something less than that, and you may deceive yourself with it, but you oannot deceive Ood, and you oannot deoeive the world. The keen business man will put 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 fact. And you cannot hide your samples of sugar or rice or tea or coffee if they are false; you cannot hide them under the cloth of a communion table. All your prayers go for nothing so long 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 houss certificates, and more legal tender no tee, and more loans, and more discounts than there really are, and when you give an account of your liabilities 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.
