it will certainly get very small pay. An- 

 other thing, these sins always grow upon 

 us. A person who succeeds in taking a few 

 pennies out of the money-drawer without 

 being discovered, will, in a few days, take 

 more; and you all know where it ends. 

 Our text tells it exactly. Now, the person 

 who begins to work at something beljng- 

 ing to himself while his employer is away 

 is exactly like the one who puts bis hand 

 into the money-drawer. His sin will grow 

 upon him unless his employer's reproof (or 

 the influence of the Holy Spirit) scops him 

 in his career. The man who takes money 

 out of the drawer is called a tJtkf ; but the 

 man who takes a few minutes several times 

 a day, and succeeds in skillfully concealing 

 the fact from his employer, will keep on 

 taking more and more. Yet such a person 

 would blush to be called a thief. But what 

 is the difference? If you are receiving 30 

 cents an hour for your work, and you suc- 

 ceed in getting in ten minutes for yourself 

 without being discovered, you have taken a 

 nickel from your employer. And what is 

 the difference whether it be taken that way 

 or from the money-drawer? You may sug- 

 gest that we are oversuspicious; that a 

 good many take out the time, or work at 

 some other time enough to make it up. 

 This is true. Before condemning a person 

 he is generally watcht for quite a period of 

 time; he is almost always greatly a>ton- 

 isht to know that anybody has been watch- 

 ing him. 



Let me make a suggestion : If you take 

 a little of your employer's time, and after- 

 ward work enough or more to make it up, 

 be careful to speak of it to your employer, 

 or, in a large establishment, to the time- 

 clerk, for he is very likely to be questioned 

 in regard to this matter; and it will be 

 worth a great deal to you for him to be 

 able to say, "That is all right. This per- 

 son spoke to me about it at the time." The 

 Bible exhorts us to "shun even the appear- 

 ance of evil," and good business common- 

 sense should teach us the same thing. Let 

 all our acts be such that they will at any 

 time bear investigation without embarrass- 

 ment or quibbling. 



1 have said some pretty severe things in 

 regard to humanity, and it has pained me 

 to say them. Now let me say this: There 

 are many boys and girls in my employ who 

 are as honest as the day is long. Some- 

 times things have come up that seemed to 

 reflect on these — I almost wanted to say 

 "my jewels." Well, they are jewels, in- 

 deed; and when anybody hints at anything 

 that is crooked or dishonest, or that even 

 looks bad, you do not know how it rejoices 

 my heart to say, " Why, that boy is as 

 honest as the day is long. I will guarantee 

 that, whatever the grievance is, if you will 

 let me take hold of it I will bring out the 

 facts showing that he is clear and straight 

 as the light of day." Sometimes I can add. 

 " He is in my Simday-school class, and I 

 know him through and through." Oh, how 

 I do delight to get hold of such boys! I 

 rejoice to take them by the hand, and look 

 them square in the eye. Whenever an op- 

 portunity occurs I like to introduce them 

 to my friends, and speak an encouraging 

 word in regard to them. As a general 

 thing, such boys and girls are Christians. 

 They belong to the Sunday-school, and, of 

 late, generally to the Endeavor Society 

 also, or some similar organization among 

 the young people. I often predict that 

 such boys and girls will flU high places of 

 honor in time to come; audit delights my 

 heart to say in after years, when I hear 

 that some one of them is a college profes- 

 sor, or has gone to the missionary field, or 

 is filling some other important post, "There, 

 I tohl you so!" 



Now, dear friends, whoever you may be, 

 please believe I am right when I tell you 

 that no one thing can contribute more 

 toward getting better pay, no matter for 

 whom you are working, than to keep in 

 mind this little text— "Be sure your sin 

 will find you out." And when old age 

 comes on, and grim Death calls, besides the 

 better pay here in this world you will find 

 eternal lite beyond, amid the companion- 

 ship for ever and ever of the good, the hon- 

 est, and the pure in heart. A. I. Root.
