THE IDOL AND THE WORSHIPPER. Yet men have not been warned by all these things; nay, the same spirit has revived in very recent years; and could we unveil the misery which has been endured by thousands as the result of recent crashes, the impression might be deepened as to the madness of "making haste to be rich." Men have said, "To-day or to-morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there for a year, and buy and sell and get gain;" but ere the year was closed, their gains have taken to themselves wings. The will of God was left out of view in their plans, and they were baffled. THE END. We must repeat--we have no controversy with commercial enterprise, when conducted in accordance with the wisdom of the Word of God. It is one of the means of binding nation to nation, and bringing back the alienated children of men to one wide family circle, according to the purpose of our Father who is in heaven. But that is not to be accomplished by outraging his laws; and the man, the company, the nation, which extinguishes the lamp, will be left to walk in darkness.--When the butchers of the first French revolution were leading their victims to death, some of those who were doomed to die, were conducted, by a refinement in cruelty, along an alley into a garden of flowers, where only fragrance and beauty greeted their senses; but at a certain spot, inevitable doom awaited them, at the hands of men who thirsted for their blood--and we need scarcely apply the illustration. In their haste to be rich, men seem, for a season, to walk amid fragrance. Their path is all luminous with hope--such hope as man's devices can inspire; but sooner or later they are hurried into misery. "When infamous venality, grown bold, Writes on his bosom, 'to be let, or sold,'" men have laid a snare in which, by God's decree, they will be entangled; they have dug a pitfall, in which, by God's decree, they will be taken.
