I tut it may tie tr< veil to state that the litelics and the tin iimmin wen* small seeds, like the ear- gr way or the ehlekpea. When these gc rains or herbs were to lie tlirashed, an hey wei" thrown on the lloor, and tlie c ' tor k men would come around with ' tall' or rod or tlail and heat them un- ca il the seed would he separated, hut sir rhen the corn wnsto lie thrashed that ha . as thrown on the lloor. and the men soi .onid fasten horses or oxen to a cart wo ritli iron dented wiieeis: that cart tii rould lie drawn around the thrashing eei nor, and so the work would he ae- th< omplished. Different kinds of thrash- th ug f >r different products. "The litches po re not thrashed with a thrashing intrument , neither is a cart wlieel turn- is d aliout upon the eummin. but the ha tidies are beaten out with a stall and "l lie cummin with a rod. Itread ?>rn is no raised because lie will nut ever lie <;<i brushing it." Tu The great thought that the text so< resses upon our souls is that we all go th hrougli some kind of thrashing pro- na ess. Tiie fact that you may no do- foi oting your lil'o to honorable and no- tin 10 purposes will not win you any pu seape. Wilbcrl'oree, the Christian foi inancipalor, was in his day derisively wi ailed "Doctor Cant well.'' Thomas eh; inhlngton Macaulay, tin; advocate of of 11 that was good, long before he be- be< ante the most eonspiouous historian Tl: I' his day was caricatured in one of the for uarterly reviews as "liabhletongiie roi iaeuulay."

All the small wits of tin ondon had tlieir tling at John Wesley, of ie father of Methodism. If such oui icn could not escape the maligning oui the world, neither can you expect sea ?get rid of the sharp, keen stroke of j ie tribulum. \ 11 who will live godly ,ju i Christ Jesus must sillier persecu- , |u on. besides that, there are the sick'sses and the hankruptcies and the mp sappointments which are ever put- ovc ng a cup of aloes to your lip. Those (jK rinkles on your fsce are hieroglyphics j>;i hieh, if deciphered, would make out |)0 thrilling story of trouble.

All !"''' ie lltches and the cummin and the : rn must come down on the thrashing ''' 1 >or and be pounded. My subject. in the tirst place, teaches 01,1 1 that it is no complimen, to us if we 1 ape great trial. The fitches and the rm' immin on one thrashing lloor might ik over to t he corn 011 another thrash- ')<M g lloor and say: "Look at that poor, ,o:! iserable, huruised corn! We have u!; ily been a little pounded, but that u 1' is been almost destroyed," Well, the 4"\ ' rn, if it iiad lips, would answer and 0 y: "Do you know the reason you tve not been as much pounded as 1 "ov ive? It is iH'eause you are not of so r uch worth as 1 am. If you were, 1,0 m would be as severely run over." so 1 et there are men who suppose they l,ru e the Lord's favorites simply localise ' eir liarns are full and their hank ac-1 ar unt is tliish and there are no funerals ,1 the house. It may tie liecause they ' iM' e litehes and cummin, while down iiw1 t he end of t lie lane t be poor widow 1 iv be the Lord's corn. You are hut a"' tie pounded because you are little j irtli and she bruised and ground be- . use she is the best, part of the bar- I c st. The iieft of tlie ihrasliitig 111a- j n'" ine is aecording to the valu of tiie ''}e ain. If you have not l>een much . raslied in life perhaps there is not | 'is' licit to thrasli!

By the care- cur Iness of tlie thrashing you may tha ^""7 . > f* | ' vays edheludt' the value el' ttic main. ; I Next, toy text teaches us that God ; ^portions our trials to what we can i ar- the stall for the (Itches, the rod t r the cuintnh), the iron wheel for: f e corn. Sometimes people in great | ' ruble say, "Oh, i can't bear it!" j i it you did bear it. God would not > ve sent it upon you it lie had not ; own that you could Irear it. You i mibled and you swooned, but you i I t through. God will not lake from j ur eyes one tear too many nor from | ur lungs one sigh too deep nor from : i n 1* temples one throb too sharp, t le perplexities of your earthly busi- ( ss have not in them one tangle too ?. Iricato. You sometimes feel as if I r world were full of bludgeons flying > phazard. Oh, no; they are thrash- t g instruments that God just suits ? .vmii cuw. i ucfu is nt?i a uuuur i?i 1 (I debts on your ledger or a dlsup- i lntmcut about goods that you ex- J oted to go up, but that have gone l wn, or a swindle of your business 1 rtner or a trick on the part of th"Se l 10 are in the same kind of mcrchan- < m that you are. but God intended < overrule for your immortal help. 1 )li," you say, "there is no need talk- l g that way to me. I tlon'l like to . I cheated and outraged." Neither es the corn like the corn thrashur. I it after it has l>ecn thrashed and 1 nnowed it !ias a great ile.il better ' inion of winnowing mills and corn i rashers. i Again, my subject teaches that (.0*1 < eps trial on us unt il we let go. The ] rtner shouts "Whoa!" to his horses 1 soon as the grain is dropped from i c stalk. The farmer comes with his { rk and tosses up the straw, and he 1 s t hat the si raw has let go the grain i d the grain is thoroughly thrashed. I God. Smiting rod and turning t e el 1k?1!i cease as soon as we let go. I e hold on l<? this world, with its t \isurcs and riches and emoluments, I d our knuckles aresotirmly set that t seems as if we could hold on forever. ; d comes along with some thrashing i iuhie and beats in loose. We started \ ider the delusion that this was a i cat world. We learned out of our t ography that it was so many tlious- ) d miles iu diameter and s ? many < '"s in circumference, and we said. ; , my, what a world!" Trouble!' me in after life, and this trouble |l ced off one part of the world, and it i s got tii he a smaller world and in 11 ni' estimations a very insignificant i .rid, and it is fleprccianjl^all the ! ne as a spiritual property. Ten p. i t it off, .*.0 per cent off, and there ate 1; use who would not give 10 cents for is world?the entire wurld ;.sa soul ssession. Another thing my text teaches us that Charist ian sorrow is going to ve a sure terminus. My text says, tread corn is bruised because he will t ever he thrashitur it " i>.? ? nl for that! Pound away, () duil! t irn on. O wheel! Your work will i >n lie done, "lie will not ever he 1 rushing it!" Now, the Christ ian s s almost as much use in the organ 1 the stop tremulant as he has for < e trumpet, but after awhile he will t the last dirge into the por.i >lio ever. So much of us as is wheat 11 be separated from so much as is alT, and there will he no more need j pounding. They never cry in heaven ause they have nothing to cry about tero are no tears of bereavement, you shall have your friends all ind about you. There are no tears \ poverty because each one sit> at t he ' ng's table and has his own chariot a sill vat ion and free access to i nc-v.Trrb < ie where princes get their array. 1 > tears of sickness, for there are no c eumonias in the air and no malarial 1 lalations from the rolling river oi i ; and no crutch for the lame limh ;i I no splint for the broken arm, but t ; pulses throbbing with the health 1 the eternal God in a climate like I r June before the blossoms fall or j r gorgeous October before the leaves t u tier. Ln that land the souls will talk over i ? dilTercnt modes of thrashing. Oh, v ; story of the st a if that stuck the f lies and the rod that heat the cum- 1 n and the iron wheel that went V sr the corn!
