THE BUSINESS MAN AND RELIGION!
Rev. W. P. Jackson Writes of the
Necessity of Religion in
Our Business Affairs
To The Newark Journal:
The work ot' our Savior needs
business men eonnected with it
men whose business capacity and
qualifications enable them to un
derstand the great problems to be
solved necessary for the accom
plishment of the great work laid
out in the commission. When our
Lord was passing the receipt of
of custom and saw Matthew, he
recognized in him the business j
qualifications needful for a great
work, and said unto him “follow
me.” (Matthew it: '.*). Christ did ;
not excuse him from service be
cause he found him busy, and Mat
thew was too wise to attempt to
excuse himself, therefore he arose
and followed his Master.
If the business of this world
needs intelligence, push, energy
and influence to bring it up to its
highest accomplishments, would it
seem incredible that the busi
ness of our Lord deserves as muchfj
The question arises in our minds,
why is it so few b isiness men are re
ligiou.-' When we investigate our
church rolls we find they contain
but few names of business men,
yet they all agree with us that re
ligion is a good thing and that ev
erybody should be in possession of
it. Well it is in easy reach of all;
then why not all accept itd It is
honorable, legitimate and profit
able. The question is asked,
“What profit if a man should he
gain the whole world and lose his I
own s<1 uL' Or what would he
give in exchange for his souL So
we find that the Lord's business is j
one of exchange, so far as our
souls are concerned, or is so illus
trated.
But you say, “I have not time'
to look after these things, my bus- :
iness claims all my time, and the ;
preacher, the women and children '
can at11 mi to this chux h business. |
But my friend <>u owe a duty to
your God that the preacher, your
good C >fiau wife and childien
can n■: p. y it is your duty to 1
leave your lm-:i ••-s off your mind
at least on the Sabbath and take

house of worship and there (as well
as at home) set an example before
them that will bring them in clos
er touch with that spiritual influ
ence so necessary to their eternal
welfare. O, you say, "I believe
in churches, Sabbath schools, and
Christian influences." Then why
not give your presence and influ
ence to the promulgation of the
cause that builds up towns, soci
eties, schools, counties, states and
nations? Why, you would not
live in a nation where there was no
religious influences. You would
not raise your children in a com
munity where there were no relig
ious influences, no churches, no
(iod-fearing fathers and mothers.
We do not mean that all busi
ness men (just because they are
not religious) are not honest and
truthful; do not say they are mean
men; but why not put some of
your business training and busi
ness qualifications into church
work? We need you. The Lord
wants you. He will form a part
nership with you if you will give
Him an opportunity. dust try
Him and see if your business does
not improve. He will bring sun
shine out of shadow, light out of
darkness.
Aiy menu niHKe room in your
business for Christ and His relig
ion. He can help you make a suc
cess in all your undertakings if
you will only consult Him. The
reason of so much failure in this
world is because it will not accept
the leadership of the one that gave
Himself for it. We find that
when He came into this world,
that business was so crowded that
there was no place for the Lord of
Glory. “They laid Him in the
manger, because there was no
room for them in the inn.” (Luke
2: 7) And the world has never
had room for Him since. His
cradle was a borrowed one. The
guest chamber where lie instituted
the supper was a borrowed one.
rin' beast upon which He rode in
to .Jeruaalem was a borrowed one.
We find al-o that the sepulchre
that they laid Him in was a bor
rowed one. “Oh." you say, “1
would have made room in my
home for so royal a guest as the
Lord ul Gloi’i Have you done
so? You have just as ample op
portunity as those people had.
Doubtless they saw their mistake
after it was too late, so may you.
We find that when our Saviour
had been teaching in the temple,
speaking as never man spake be
fore, and night was coming on,'
“Kvery man went into his own
house.” Kvery door in Jerusa
lem was shut against Him that
night, and “He went to the Mount
of Olives.” All went to their
homes, but the Son of God went
into the solitude of the mountains.
Not. so much as invited to the hos
pitality of the humblest home. (),
this cold irony world! (), this
base ingratitude! My God forgive
us, and heli> us to make room in
our business for the Son of God.
At one time when our Saviour
looked around Him and saw the
ingratitude of this cold world to
wards its Creator He said: “Fox
es have holes, the birds of the air
have nests, but the Son of Man
hath not where to lay His head.”
O, my friend unlock the doors of
your business and throw them
wide open and invite Christ to
come: say “Welcome, thrice wel
