Fol low lug Is the sermon In full: The labor agitation will pooh quiet; the mill again open, the railroads resume their trallle; our national prosperity again start. Of courc the damage done by tho strikes can not be immediately repaired. Wages will not be so high a- they were. Spasmodically thev ma) be higher, but they will diop lower.

The worst enemies of tho worMiiir classes In the United States and Ireland are their demented coailfntors.

Now there i9 not a man In mv audience who would consent to go out Into life with those three principles, to earn a fortun-. It is our de sire to do your whole duty to the men 'and wo men In your service. UK vsox tni.K imv iii:rmiMi-.viu-ii First of all, then, pav as large wages as art rcasouauie aim as jour nusuiess will afford. Not necessarily what others pay, eertalnl) not what una hired help say you' must par, for that is tyranny on the part of labor unbeara ble. The right of a laborer to tell his em ployer what he must pay Implies the right of an employer to compel a man Into a service whether lie will or not, aud either of thoe ideas Is despicable. When any emplocr al lows a laborer to say what he liuist do or have his business ruined', and tho employer submits to It, he does everv business man' In the I'nl. ted States a wrong and yields to a principle which, carried out, would dissolve society. Look over your atfalrs and put yourselves In Imagination In your laborer's pla'ee, and then pay him what before God and our on u con science you think von ought to pay him. "God hles yous'" are well lu their place, but they do not bur coal nor pay house rent nor get shoes for the children. At the same time you, the employer, ought to remember through what strait and strains vnu got the fortune by which you built your store or run the factory. You are to remember that you take all the risks and the emphne takes nolle, or scarcely any. You aie to remember that there may be reverses lu fortune, and that some new style of machinery mar make our machinery Miluelcss, or some new' style of' tar iff set your business back nopelcssfv anil for ever. You must take all that into considera tion, and then pay what Is reasonable. l'ltOMlTNi:SS l'AYIXO OKMIt III. II. Do not lie too ready to cut dow n wages. As far as possible pay' all, and pay promptly. There Is a great deal of Hible teaching (in this subject. Malechl: "1 will bo a swift witness against all sorcerers, and against all adulterers, aud against tho?u who oppiess the hireling in his wages." Leviticus: "Thou shalt not keep the wages of tho hireling all night unto the morning." ColosIans: "Mas ters, give unto vour servants that which is lust and coual; liuovvlng thai ye also liavo a Muster in heaven." So you see it Is not a question between you aiul your emploo so much as it is n question lielw ecu you' and God. Do not say to your employes: "Now, If you don't like tills 'place get another.'' when Sou know they can not get another. As far as nos- slble once a year isit at their homes xour clerks and your workmen. That Is the "only way you can become acquainted with their wants. You will by such process tlud out that there Is a blind pa'rent or a sick sister being supported. You w III llud some of your young men in rooms without any lire in winter, and In summer sweltering In" ill-ventilated apart luen .s. You will find how- much depends on the wages you pay or withhold. On Saturday morning when y ou come into your counting room and draw the check which will bring tho money for the wages or the salaries, vim will have a thrill of satisfaction lu knowing It Is not only the money you give to the young man, but the relief of tlio dire necessities which stand back of him, orAiiiiiNo tiii: i:.mpi.ovi:'s ixtkuiists. Moreover, it Is your dut as employer, as far as possible, to mould the welfare of the cm. plow. You ought to advise him about Invest ments, about life insurance, about saWugs banks. You ought to give him the benefit of your experience. There are hiindieds and thousands of employers In this country and England, I am glad to say, who are settling In the very best jio-slhle way the destiny of their employes. Such men as Marshall of Leeds, Lister of Hradford, Akroydof Hallllax and men so near at home It might offend their modesty If I mentioned their names. These men have built reading rooms, libraries, con cert hulls, afforded croquet lawns, cricket ground, gviiiaiiHluius, choral societies for their employes and thev have not merely paid the contentment and the" thrift and tho i nun- wages on Miiuruiiv nigiii. nut lliroiiLMi gooo morals 01 tiieir einplores, tbev are pay lug wages from generation to genefatlou for ever. Again, I counsel all employers to look well after the physical health of their subordinates. Vou are expected to understand better than they all tliee oiiestlons of veutlllatioii and sunshine mid all the laws of hygiene. There are stores and banking houses and factories and newspaper establishments where the at mosphere is death. Vour employes may al ways appreciate )our work, 11s that stylo of kindness was not appreciated lu the Instance mentioned by Charles Keade, where in a greut factory a fan was provided for the blowlnir nwav of the dust of metal and stone, the dust aiisfsiug from the machinery, aud some of the u 1 Hi. men refused to put tills great fan lu mo tion. 'Ihey seemed to pref.-r to Inhale the tilings the poisonous tilings into their lungs. Hut in the vait majority of cases your em ployes will appreciate every kindness In thut direction. i,.nwi:ci:s8Auv fatiolf. ciiuf.u Do not put 011 them any unnecessary fatigue. I never could understand why the drivers 011 our city ears must stand all day when they might just as well sit down and drive. It seems to me most unrighteous that so many of the female clerks in our stores should be com pelled to stand nil day, and through those hours when there are but few or no customers. These people have aches and annoyance ami weariness enough without putting iiion them additional fatigue. Unless those female clerks must go 1111 nud down on the business of tho store, let tliein sit down. At the end of the year you will llud that thev have sold w many goods and niiide us line bargains - yea, hotter; for one clerk w ith n clear hralu and rested body and radiance will sell more goods than two clerks with health bedraggled. Then I would have yuil cany out this mili tary idea mid put Into as few hours as ihissI ble the work of the day. rkune time ugo -whetherit has been changed I know not -there were 1,000 grocery clerks lu ilrooklyu who went to business at 0 o'clock In the morn, ing and continued until 10 o'clock ut night. Now, that Is Inhuman. It seems to me thut all the inercli'iuU In ill ihiKirtiiieiits ought, by simultaneous move mcut, to come out In behalf of the early clou Ing theory, Theso louug men oi;ght to hare 1111 oiKirlunlty of going to the Mercantile li brary, to the reading rooms, to the concert hull, to the gymnasium, to the church.

Do not swear at him. Do not scud him on a useless errand. .Sir "flood morning," nnd "(lood night." nud "'Good bye." Vou nrc de ciding that man's destiny for two worlds. One of 111 v curliest remembrances Is of old Arthur Tappau. There were many dllfcrciices of opinion about Ids politics, but. 'no one who ever knew Arthur Ta;pan, and knew him well, doubted Ids being an earnest Christian, lu Ids store in New York he had a room where eerr morning lie called hlseinjiloves together, and lie prayed with them, read tlie Scriptures totliem, sang with them, uutl then thev enter ed on the duties of the day. On Monday morning the exercises dlffcrcdund he gathered the voung men togeth' r and asked them where they hud attended church, what lind been lh. -Ir Sabbath experiences ami what had been the sermon. Samuel Iludgett had the lnigest business lu the west of Knglund. He had In 11 room of his warehouse a place plcasautlr f mulshed with eoinfortnhly seats and "I-'letcher's Fam ily Devotions" nnd Wesley 11 11 hymn books, and he gathered Ids employes "together ecrr morn ing, mid, having sung, they knelt down and prayed side by shh the employer and the em ployes. Do you wonder at that man's success, aud thut though thirty years before he had been a partner In a small retail shop in a small village, at his death h bequeathed many mil lions. Goil can trust such n man as that with plenty of money. sin -iitih svi.t's mi:tiiois. ilr Titus Salt hud wealth which was beyond computation, and at Saltalre, Kugluml, he hud a church aud u chaiicl built and supported by himself the church for those who preferred the i:plseopal service, and the chapel for those who preferred the Methodist service. At the opening of one of his factories he gave a greut dinner, nnd there were :i,.r00 people present, and in his lifter dinner speech he said to those people gathered: "I can not look around me aud see this vast assemblage, of friends ond w oik people without being moved. 1 feel greatly honored by the presence of the noble man at my side, and I am especially delighted at tho presence of mr woik pcople. 1 hope to diaw around mo u population that will enjoy the b.-aulles of this neighboihood a imputation of well-paid, contented, happy operatives. I have given Instructions to my architects that nothing is to be spared to render the dwellings of the operatives u pattern to the country, and If m v llfe Is spured by Divine Providence. I hope to see contentment, satisfaction uud hnppliiess around me." That Is Christian character demonstrated. There are others In this coun try uud lu other lauds on a smaller scale doing their best for their einploM's. They have not lorgot ten their own curly struggles, Thev remember the llrst yard of nankeen they measured, the llrst quarter of tea they weigh ed, the llrst banister they turned, the llrst roof they shingled. They 'remember how thev were discouraged, how hungry they were, uud how cold uud how tired they were, uud though '.hey may be sixty or seventy years of uge, they iiliow just how il boy feels between ten nud twenty, and how a young man feels between twenty uud thirty. "They have not forgot tun it. 'Iliose wealthy employers were not origin ally let down out of heaven with pulleys of Ilk In n wicker hu.d;ct, nitln lined, fanned by cheiuble wings.

On one of the healthy Islands there wai u physician who always wore his hand gloved, and It was often discussed why he alwuts had a glove on that hand under nil circumstances. a riiYsici.tx'sj si:i.f .N.veititn:. Ono day this physician came to tho city authorities, and lie withdrew his glove, and he said to the olllccrs of the law. "You see on thut hand a spot of the leprosy and that I am doomed to die. I might hlde'thls for u little while uud keep uwuv from the Isle of lepers: hut I um a phtsleiun, uud l can go on that Island and administer to the sufferings of those who ure further gone In the disease, nnd I should like to go now.

They, seeing the spot of leprosy, of course tisik tho man into custody. He bade farewell to his family nud his friends. It was au agonizing farewell.
