PRACTICAL ADDRESS ON "RELIGION IN BUSINESS" BEFORE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION CHARLES H. LEIN BACH SHOWS HOW FAILURE HAS BEEN TURNED INTO SUCCESS.

Before the Young Men's Christian As soctation, at 3.30 o'clock on Sunday af ternoon, Charles H. Leinbach, a well known business man, delivered an ad dress on "Religion in The talk, which was practical and forceful was based on Romans xii, 2. Mr. Leln. bach said: a I have given a great deal of thought to the question of business in religion.

I have often thought that If our great Christian enterprises the church, the Sunday school and all other subordinate agencies were managed more by business methods and principles, that It would be productive of better results. But I must confess that I have thought little of other side of the question, viz. "religion in business." Not because it is so common, but rather, perhaps, of the fact that I have had my eye more on the advancement of religion and have always felt that our great work of bringing the gospel into the hearts and lives of the people should make more rapid progress than what la doing today. Bo If we, as laymen, can tease our pastors by "Why don't you use more business methods in the management of your church affairs?" they can justly reply, by asking us another question, "Why don't you use more re ligious principles in the management of youA business?" Yeav. religion and business are so uiusri sues iiiivi uim uta.ii bvoivci be a truly religious man without being a good business man.

I know there are many people who take no part at all In Christian activities who say that a man cannot be successful in ordinary secular business if he gives any of his time to religious employments. He must stick to one thing or the other, they say, as if it were actually a choice between God and mammon, or as if our dally occupations were a necessary conflict with religious work, and as if no man could be "fearful of the Spirit" without being "slothful In business." Such people are those whom St. Paul warns "not to conform to the fashion of the age." Their business, their pleasure is entirely material. They have no time for the spiritual, for the development of a true life and for the uplifting of our work. our business, upon a higher plane.

And, my friends. It Is not so that religion and business cannot work together hand in hand. Religion, if it is true and earnest, makes us better and more active In our dally work. To be a good business man one must be actively employed. There is no religion In idleness, much less In laziness.

Indolence to the matters that clothe, shelter and feed people are Just unreliglous as they are unbusinesslike. The common duties of our dally life lie light along In the common business of life, and rellgios teaches what these duties are. For example, religion teaches us to be active, to be zealous and energetic, and yet all of these are essential business qualifications. Religion teaches us to be persevering and to love courage and faith; and these two are necessary for a successful business man. Religion teaches us to be just and honest, to be Industrious and saving, and yet these qualities are the very foundation stones of a successful business career.

But I desire to put a broader meaning on the word "business." When Jesus said, "Think ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" He did not mean that His Father kept a store and that He must go and attend to It, but He did mean that It was a part of His own dally life to get wisdom and help and ammunition, if you pi ease, fight the battle that was before Him. I suppose the majority of this audi ence are not engaged In stricty busl CONTINUED ON rUTH MONDAY MORNING, 22, 1908. 8 PAGES.

this number 4,185 were reg istered last Saturday, on September 18, and 4,661 on September 4.

Taking the assessment as a basis, although in some wards this is glaringly inaccurate, the Fourth heads the list with a registration of .668. The Third is second with .659 and the Eighth third with .658. All the others are below .600, the Tenth being at thej'rbe served promptly so that taken direct to the foot with .387, One noticeable feature has been that hundreds of those who were "stay at homes" in past elections have regis tered, while thousands of the most en thusiastic shouters at ward meetings have not been inventoried by the registrars.
