Here in something that needs to be sounded
into the can of all the young men of Amer
ice, and iterated and reiterated, if this coun-
. try is ever to be delivered from its calami-
" ties, and commercial prosperity is to be

established and perpetuated: Live within
your means.

I have the highest commercial authority
for saying that when the memorable trouble
broke out in Wall street four years ago
there were wmoon in suspense which
had already been spent Spend no more
than you make. And let us adjust all our
.buslnea and our homes by the principles of
“the Christian religion. '

. Our religion oughtto mean just as much
on Saturday and Monday as on the day be-
tween, and not asa men periphraaisof lanc-

hearts, and then it ought to clean our lives.

resources you put down more apocie, and
more fractional currency, and more clearing
