TALMAGE'S SERMON. Tho Sluggard Advised to Study The, Ways of the Ant. In this'diBOOurBO Dr. Talmago draws his illustrations from a realm soldom utilized for moral and rolipious pur posos; text, Provorbs, vi, (> 8, "Go to tho ant, thou sluggard, oon?idor her ways and bo wiso, which, having no guido, ovoroeor or ruler, provldolh her moat IQ tho summor ana gathorcth hor food in tho h ar vont." Tho moB*t of Solomon's writings havo porishodr Thoy havo gono out of oxiat enoo as thoroughly as tho 20 books of Pliny and most of tho books ofiEsohyluB and Euripides and Yarro and Quinti lian. Solomon's Song and Eoolcuiastcs and Proverbs, prosorvedby inspiration, aro a small part of his voluminous pro ductions. Ho was a groat soiontist. Ono vorso in the Biblo Buggosts that bo was a botanist, a zoologist, anoruitholo gist, an ichthyologist and know all about roptilia. I Kings iv, 33, "He spake of trees, from tho o o dar troo that is in Lobanon oven unto tho hyssop that springoth out of tho wall; ho Bpako also of boasts and of fowl and of orcop ing things and of nabos." Bosidosall these scientific .works, he composed 3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs. Although Solomon lived long boforo tho mioroscopo was oonstruotcd, ho was also an insootologist and r/ntohod and desoribes 1 tho spidor build ita ?uspon sion bridge of silk from trco, calling it tho spider's wob, and ho notioas its skillful foothold in climbing tho smooth wall of tho throneroom iu Jerusalem, saying,'-"Tho spidor t&koth hold with 1er hands and is in king's palaces." But ho, is ospooially intorcstod in tho ant and recommends its habits as worthy of study and imitation, saying, "Go to tho ant, thou sluggard, oonBidor her ways and bo wiso, whioh, having no guido, ovcraoor or ruler, providcth her moat in tho eummor and gathoroth hor food, in tho harvoBt." But it was not until about 300 years ago, when Jan Swammcrdam, tho Ron of an apothecary at Amstordam, Hol land, bogan tho study of tho ant undor poworful lons that tho full force of Solomon's injunction waB understood. Tho groat Dutch Boiontiet, io his ex amination of tho insoot in my text, dis covered as groat a display of tho wis dom of God in its anatomy as astrono mers diBOOvcr in thc honveno and was BO absorbed and wrought upon by tho '.Lw.onders ho disoovorod in tho ant and other insoot^ that body and mind gavo way, and ho txpired at 43 yoars of ago, a martyr of tho gi'oatsoionoo of insec tology. No one but God could have fashionod ' tho insoot epokon? of in tho toxt or givon it such goniuB of in nt ino t, its wis dom for haivcsting nt tho right timo, its wondors of antoneio, by whioh it gathers food, and of mandi bl on, whioh, instoad of tho motion of tho human jaw up and down in mastication, movo from sido to sido; its nervous Byotcm, its en larging doors in hot weathor for moro sweep of breczo, its modo of attaok and dofonso, dosing tho goto at night against bandit invadors; its purification of tho o nrth for human rcHiduuoo, its social lifo, its republican government, with tho oonsont of tho govornod; itu matornal fidelities, tho habit of thoso oroaturos of gathering now and then undor tho dome of tho ant hillock, soomingly in consultation, and thou departing to cxeouto thoir difforont miBoions. But Solomon would not oommond all tho habits of tho ant, for nome of them aro as bad as somo o? tho habits of tho human vaco. Somo of thoso mn all oroa turos aro dosporadoos and murdorors. Now and then thoy marshal thcmsolvos into hosts and maroh in straight liuo and como upon an onoampmont of thoir own raoo and doBtroy its ocoupants, ex oept tho young, whom thoy oarry into captivity, and if tho army oomo back without any such captive B they aro not permitted to enter, but aro sent forth to mako moro suooossful oonquost. Solomon givon no commendation to ouch sanguinary bohavior among inscols any moro than ho would havo com mended sanguinary bohavior among mon. Thoso littlo oroaturos havo aomotimes wrought fearful damage, and thoy havo undermined a town in New Granada, whioh in time may drop into tho abyss thoy havo dug for it. But what aro tho habits whioh Solo mon would onjoin whon ho says, "Con sidor hor ways and bo wiso." Pirat of all, providenoo, forethought, anticipa tion ol' ooming nooos&itios. I am sor ry to say thoso qualities aro not oharao toristio of all tho ants. The BO crea turo? of God aro divided into granivor ?U8 and carnivorous. Tho lattor aro j not frugal, but tho formor aro frugal. I Whilo tho air is warm and moving about is not hindorod by ioo or snow bank thoy import thoir oargoos of food. Thoy bring in thoir oaravan of provi sions; thoy haul in thoir long train of wheat or oom or oats, Tho farmors aro not moro busy in J uly and August in reaping thoir harvest than aro tho ants busy in July and August reaping thoir h*rvost. Thoy staok them away; they pilo them up. Thoy quostion whon thoy havo onough, Thoy aggro gato a sumoiont- amount to last thom until tho noxt warm soason. -When winter opons, thoy aro roady. Blow, yo winter blasts! Hang your ioiolos from tho trco branohotd Imbed all tho highways undor snowdrifts! Enough for.all tho donizonsof tho hills. Hun ger shut out, and plenty sits within. God. who feod?tli.cvflry living thing, bas Mossed tho ant hill.

Furthermore, go to the ant and con sider that it does not declino work bo oauso it is insigni?oant. Tho fragtuont of seod it hauls into its habitation mav bo SO small that tho unaided oyo caonot soo it, but tho insootilo work goos on, tho carpenter not at work nbovo ground, the mason ant at work undor ground. Sotno ofthoso oroaturos mix tho loaves of tho fir and tho oatkins of tho pino for tho roof or wall of thoir tiny abode, and othora go out- as huntors looking for food, while others in dbmoatic duties stay at homo. Twenty spooks of tho food they aro moving toward thoir granary put upon a balnnoc would hardly make tho scales quiver. AU of it work on a small scale. 'I'.'io o is no uso in our rofutiog a mission booauso it is insignificant. Anything that God in Kia providonoo puta beforo us to do is important. Thc noodle has its oflioo aa oortainlv ns tho tolcuoopo and tho spade aa a parliamentarian scroll You know what beeamo of tho man ia tho parable of tho talents who buriod tho ono talent jnstoad of putting it to praotioal ard accumulative uso. His apology was of no avail. Thoro ia no need of our wasting iiuio and onorgy in longing for aomo other sphere. Theroaro plonty of peoplo to do tho big and resounding work of tho church and tho world. No laok of brigadior generals or master builders or onginoors for bridging Niagaras or tun noling Kooky mountains. For ovory big ontcrpriso of tho world a dozon oan didatoa.

Right vdiere wo aro thoro ia something that God would have us to do. Lot ua do it, though it may soom to bo aa unim portant as tho rolling of a grain of oom into an ant hill. Furthormoro, go to tho ant and con sider its indefatigableness. If by tho accidentai s trek o of your foot or thoro moval of a timber tho cities of tho in sootilo world aro destroyed, instantly they go to rebuilding. Thoy do not sit around moping. At it again in a second Their fright immediately gi vos may to their industry. And if our ?ohoinos of iHCHulnosB and our plans of work fail, why sit down in discouragement? As largo act hills as havo over boon con struoted will bo constructed again. Put your trust in God and do your duty, best days oro yoi to como. Ycu have novor heard such songs ns you will yet hoar, nor havo you ovor livod in auch grand abode aa you will yet occupy, and all tho worldly treasures you havo lost aro nothing oompared with tho opulence that you will yet own. Ifyoulovoand trust thc L)rd, Paul looks you in tho face and then waves his hand toward a heaven full of palace? and thionos, say ing, "All aro yours I'' So that what you fail to get in this prosrnt lifo you will get in tho coming life.

April 20 th was a sacred day to tho entire Southland, It was sot apart for a memorial of tho brave men who gave up all in defence of their homes and principles. We fully agree with tho Augusta Chronicle when it says "there has boon too much ol' apology by sou (.hern men, politicians and business men seeking northern favor, for tho position of the south in the war for souihum independence Wo hear too much about southern mon having fought for princi ples 'tliey believed to be right.' Tlie inference is that while wo now know they were wrong, nevertheless. our fathers were honest because they 'believed' tho south was right. This is rot. The people of the south believe today the south was right, just as much as they believed in the sixties, and fair-minded men at tho north are conceding it. While southern men may frank ly accept the arbitrament of arms, and believe that it i? bet ter to have ono great united re public than to have two rival governments in this country, and while the right of secession may have beeii irrevocably set tled, this does not determine that in 1801 the southern states went to war for wrong princi ples, or that in deciding to with draw from the Union they woro rebels.
