People Will Talk. .
You may get throth tho world. but ‘tvrill be very
slow.
if you listen to oil that is said as you :0:
You‘ll be worried and fretted. and kept in a stew-
For meddlcsornc tongues must have something to
do-
And people will talk.
if quiet and modest. you'll have it presumed
That your humble position is only assumed~
You‘re a wolf in sheep‘s clothing. or else you're a
fool.
But don‘t get excited—keep perfectly cool—
!‘or people will talk.
And then. if you show the least boldness of heart.
Or a slight inclinatuion to take your own part.
They will call you an upstart. conceited and rain.
But keep strait ahesd-dou‘t stop to explain—
!‘or people will talk.
if in: radbarc your are”. or old~fushloued your bet.
Some one will surely take notice of that.
And hint rather strong that you can‘t pay your way.
llut don‘t excited. whatever they say—
For people will lllk.
If you dress in the fashion. don't think to escape.
For they criticise then in a difieront shape;
You‘re ahead of your means. or your tailor‘s unpaid.
But mind your own business~ther€s naught to bc
riiude~
For periple \vill talk.
Sow. the best way to do is to do as you please:
For your mind. if you have one. will then be at mine.
of course. you will meet with all sorts of abuse;
But don‘t think to step themvli ain't any use»
For people will talk.

Why lea Don’t go to Church.
We take it that one of the primal reasons
why teen do not go to church more general-
ly is that the preacher does net interest
then. lay will go from duty or force of
habit. but roost people will stay away unless
there is something to draw thorn. Accord-
ingly the preacher must be able to interest.
It isuot enough that be can talk Ioaruedly
about abstractions of doctrine. but he must
be able to talk of thingsthat will hold the
*attsodou of allrneu.‘ Totbls end he must
speckle-WW bytlicssbe

on my. in the ministers csrser. The
in“! of ”clarinet the famed
wanes life. The you. ninlslsrlsturosd
out of the ‘ isles! dlotlsl
dug dwellings was known.
“ If I were to go through tny ministerial cu.
roer with the advantages of my experience
before med would revolutionize my meth-
od of preaching. I would discard the stilt-
cd lsngus‘ge of sermons and talk to men in
the language men use to each other.“ Note
the great preachers of our time. and see if
this be not one of the leading elements of
their success—that men understand what
they laid. “Prithcc. if thou hast anything
to say. deliver thyself like a man of the
world." .Its no secret that many intelligent
men are repelled from the churches through
a feeling of disgust at the peculiarity of the
arguments of the preacher. Stephen Foster
says he would go to church if the preacher
would give him a chance to reply. But the
very fact that. there is nobody to reply and
that nobody can reply. constitutes a notlocav
blc weakness in the pulpit. In a country
grocery—that grout audience room of the
people—a man advances a proposition. and
immediately every listener‘s wits are at
work devising some way to "floor the speak-
er." All sorts of weapons. from the stiletto
of scarcasin to the broad sword of ar.urucnt.
are inursballcd to the onset. and be indeed
must be a good fencer. though he have the
shield of truth. who can withstand such an
attack. But the preacher knows be is safe.
and this very safety is a weakness. There
is nobody to dispute his propositions. point
out the weakness of his arguments. laugh at
his ships in reasoning. or sarcastically in-
quire after the health of the men of straw
whom he remorsely shoots down from his
iinpregnuhle fortress “just six feet abive
the contradiction.“ We should not agree
with lift. Foster. whom Lowell calls a “ kind
of tnnddenod John the Baptist.“ that an
open platform is the panacea for all evils.
but we sometimes think that. if the average
clergyman should take a few inttllccluril
built-rs from the lonngcrs in a corner grocery
store he would have a more realizing sense
of the fitness of things in pulpit discourses.

Facts.
One of the brightest signs of the times.
and which proves that ‘the tendencies of
of things. to—day. are. in the main. healthy.
is that the people are growing to love facts.
The who of gilt and sham is ever. For
years they‘ have ruled the nation. Sham
architecture. sham piety. sham patriotism.
chum socialism were everywhere. The
whole financial structure of the country.
for ll decade. has been based on sham.
False valuations iiivc been put upon prop.
crty. Ilouses have been valued at fifty
thousand dollars when their real value was
twenty thousand. Building lots have been
priced at two dollars: foot when fifty cents
a foot was all that they were actually worth.
Fortunes have been made on paper ; repu-
tations have been bolstered up by proton-
sion. Public men have taken the applause
of their clacqucrs fill If it furnishe
foundation for fame. Speculative valua-
tions. fictitious estimates and self-pufiery
have given tone to American society. The
dog has had his day; but his day. thunk hea-
ven is at last over. The old New England
realism of judgment and opinion is once
more trikeu possession of its throne and the
people are returning to their old fashioned
loyalty. The wealth of reputedly l‘ltlll men
is being investigated. The guy bubbles are
being prickcd. Savings Banks are discov-
ering that their securities are being (pics
tinned. Politicians find that their consti-
tuents demand something besides buucnmbc.
Churches are learning that magnificent
architecture and a big debt do not. represent
spiritual force. The people demand facts.
They are vexed ut the ilcceptious which
have been practiced upon them. Figures
have been thr basis of such monstrous false-
hoods. that their faith in figures ls shaken
The affirmation ofu public official lll‘llll
bank is sound. that its securities are " first-
class and “abundant." is unable to turn back
the corrupt of public distrust. The interroga-
tion of the public. touching every man and
everything is sharp and imperious. The
community has been lied to enough. It
won‘t stand any more nonsense. The grime
of hlull is played out. Managers of areal
institutions find that they eiii‘t hoodwrnk
the people any longer. They have made
up their minds to know the truth. the whole
truth. and nothing but the truth. This is
the very down and sunrise of it new and

Mr. Moody will speak twice at most of the

by the choir and prayers and speaking by

are spaces enclosed with railing and pr)-
