Ills text is 1 mutcroiiomy i v ii, gn, ‘-The I-ord thy foul will send the hornet." It seems as if the insectile world were determined to extirpate the hti- | man race. It bombards tin* grainliclds I and the orchards and the vineyards. | 'J he < 'olorado heelle, the Nebraska I grasshopper, the New Jersey locust, | tl,e universal potato beetle, seem to | carry on the work which was begun | a.ut ; auo when the -insects buzzed out I of Noah's ark as the door was opened. in my text the hornet Hies out on its j mission. It is a spreies of wasp, swift j in its motion and violent in its sting. Its touch is torture to man or beast. We have all seen the cattle run bellow ing under the cut of its lancet. In boy hood we used to stand cautiously look ing at the globular nest hung from the tree branch, and while we were look ing at the wonderful covering we were struck with something that sent us shrieking away. The hornet goes in swarms. It has captains over hun dreds. and Li<) of them alighting on one man will produce certain death. The Persians attempted to conquer a Christian city, hut the elephants and the beasts on which the Persians rode were assaulted by the hornet, so that the whole army was broken up and the besieged city was rescued. This burn ing and noxious insect stung out the | llittites and the Canaanites from their ' country. What gleaming sword and ; chariot of war could not accomplish j was done by the puncture of an insect. | “The Lord sent the hornet.” My friends, when we are assaulted by great behemoths of trouble we become , chivalric. and we assault them. We j g; t oil the high mettled steed >>f our | (-oarage, and we make a cavalry charge at them, and if Cod he with us we come out stronger and better than I when we went it. But alas for these insectile annoyances of life, these foes • too small to shoot, these tilings with- | out an.,' avoirdtipoi- weight, the gnats j and the midges and the Hies and the wasps and the hornets! lit other wards, it is the small, stinging annoy- um-es of our life which drive tts out and use us up. In the best conditioned life lor some grand and glorious pur pose (Jod has sent the hornet. ?! ii rim o 11 > O vei - »» or J remarl;, in the lirst place, that these e.a!!, stinging aimoyam-cs may come in siiape < f a nervous organization. People v.T.o ate prostrated under ty phoid fevers or witli broken hones get plenty < f sympathy, hut who pities anvbody that is nervousV The doctors say and the family say and everybody says. ■•()h, sho's only a little nervous; that's all!” Tito sound of a heavy foot, Hip harsh clearing of a throat, a dis cord in music, a want of harmony be tween the shawl and the glove on the same person, a curt answer, a passing slielit. the wind from the east, anyone of ten thousand anuoyanees, opens the door ft r the hornet. The fact is that the vast majority of the people in this country arc overworked, and their tu rves ate the lirst to give out. A great multitude are under the strain of Leyden, who, when In- was told by his physician that if he did not stop work ing while he wits in such poor physical health he would die, responded, “Itoc- tor, whether 1 live or die, the wheel must keep going round.” These sensi tive- persons of whom I speak have a bleeding sciisitivi ness. The flies love to light on anything raw, and these people arc like the Canaanites spoken of in the text or in the context they have ;i very thin covering and are vul nerable at all points. “And the Lord sent the hornet.” Again, the small insect annoyance* may come to us in the shape of friends and acquaintances who are always say* Lug disagreeable things. There are some people you cannot be with for half an hour hut you feel cheered amj comforted. Then there are other peo ple you cannot be witli for live minute* before you feel miserable. They do not mean to disturb you, but they sting you to the hone. They gather up till the yarn which the gossips spin and retail it. They gather up all the ad verse criticisms about your person, about your business, about your home, about your eliureh, and they make your eat ti e futim-l into which t|iey pour it. They In ugh heartily when they tell you, ns though it were u good joke, and you laugh, too—outside. Jot*'* ( oinfori«*I-*. These people are brought to our nt- tojltiou in the Bible, in the book of Built. Naomi went forth, beautiful and witli iln* flijcst of worldly pros pects. into another land, hut after awhile she came back widowed and sick and poor. What did her friends do when she came to the city? They all went out, and. instead of giving her otnnion sense consolation, w hat did they d,.-? Bead the hook of Butli ami find out. Tliey threw up their hands and raid. “Is this Naomi?” as much as (o say, ’*JIovv awful bad you do look!” When I entered the ministry. I looked very pale for years, and every year, for four or live years, many times a year 1 was asked if I had not con sumption, and. passing through the n om. I would sometimes hear people sigh and say. “A-nh not long for this world!” I resolved In those times that I m-ver lu any e<»nvernation would say anything depressing, and by the help of Hod 1 have kept the resolution. These people of whom 1 speak reap and bind in the great harvest Held of ills, ountgeuiont. Some day you greet them with u hilarious "Hood morning,” and they come- buzzing at you with some <ltpressing Information. “The Lord sent the hornet.” It is astonishing how some people prefer to write and to say disagreeable tilings. That was the ease when Hen ry .M. Stanley returned after hi* mag- I uilh-i nt exploit of finding I hi v id Liv- I lugstone. When Mr. Stanley stood be- • foie tin- savants of Luropo and many I of the small critics of the day, under I jiii-tense of getting geographical In- formation, pel Jo him most insolent qtie,-1.on:i, he tohh d I#!# arms and re fused to answer. At the vcry time when you would suppose all decent men would have applauded the hero ism of the man there were those to hiss. “'The Lord sent the hornet.” And when afterward that man sat down on the western coast of Africa, sick and worn out, with perhaps the grandest achievement of the age in the way of geographical discovery, there were small critics all over the world to buzz and buzz and caricature and deride him. and when after awhile he got the Loudon papers, as he opened them, out flew the hornet. When I see that there are so many people in the world who like to say disagreeable things and write disagreeable things, 1 come almost in my weaker mcmcuts to be lieve what a man said to me in IMiila- delphia one Monday morning. I went to get the horse at the livery stable, and the hostler, a plain man, said to me. “Mr. Talinage, I saw that you jit cached to t he young men yesterday.” 1 said, “Yes.” He said: “No use, no use. Man’s a failure.” Doine*tic Dintiirlinneoa. The small insect annoyances of life sometimes come in the shape of local physical trouble which does not amount to a positive prostration, hut which bothers you when you want to feel the best. Perhaps it is a sick headache which has been the plague of your life, and you appoint some occa sion of mirth or sociality or usefulness, and when the clock strikes the hour you cannot make your appearance. Perhaps the trouble is between the ear and the forehead in the shape of a neuralgic twinge. Nobody can see it or sympathize with it, but just at the time when you want your intellect clearest and your disposition brightest you fool a sharp, keen, disconcerting thrust. "The Lord sent the hornet.” Perhaps these small insect annoy ances will come in the shape of a do mestic Irritation. The parlor and the kitchen do not always harmonize. To get good service and to keep it is one of the great questions of the country. Sometimes it may he the arrogance and inoonsidoratenoss of employers; but, whatever lie the fact, we all admit there* are these bisect annoyances winging their way out from the culi nary department. If the grace of Hod he not in the heart of the housekeeper, she cannot maintain her equilibrium. The men come home at night and luar the story of these annoyances and say, “Oh, these home troubles arc very lit tle things!” They are small, small as wasps, hut they sting. Martha’s nerves were ail unstrung when she rushed in asking <’lit ist t<> -cold Mary, and there are tens of thousands of women who are dying, stung to death by these pes tiferous domestic annoyances. “The Lord feiit tlie hornet.” These small insect disturbances may also come in the shape of business ir ritations. 'There ate- men here wiio went through tiie kith of Sej item her, IXfil), and the panics of 1XTU and of IX'.ik without losing their balance who are every day unhorsed by little an noyances -a clerk’s ill manners, or a blot of ink on a hill of lading, or the extravagance of a partner who over draws Ids account, or the underselling by a business rival, or the whispering of store confidences in ihe street, or the making of some little bad debt which was against your judgment, but you wanted to please somebody else. It is not the panics that kill the mer chants. Panics come only once in 10 or 20 years. It is the constant din of these everyday annoyances which is sending so many of our best merchants into nervous dyspepsia and paralysis and the grave. When our national com merce fell fiat on its face, these men stood up and felt almost defiant, but their life Is going away now under the swarm of these pestiferous annoy ances, “The Lord sent the hornet.” Kfep on MovIiih. I have noticed in the history of Home of my congregation that their annoy ances are multiplying and that they have a hundred where they used to have ten. The naturalist tells us that a wasp sometimes Las a family of 20,- 000 wasps, and it does seem as if ev ery annoyance of your life brooded a million. By the help of Clod, today 1 want to show you the other side. The hornet Is of no use? Oh, yes! The nat uralist tells us they are very important In the world’s economy. They kill spi ders, and they clear the atmosphere. And 1 really believe Clod sends the an noyances of our life upon us to kill the spiders of the soul and to clear the at- nioNphertf of our skies. These annoyances are sent on us, I think, to wake us up from our lethar gy. There Is nothing that makes a man so lively as a nest of “yellow Jack ets,” and I think that these annoy ances are Intended to persuade us of the fact that this Is not a world for ns to stop In. If we had a bed of ev erything that was attractive and soft amj easy, what would we want of ficnvcnV We think that the hollow tree sends the horm-t, or we may think that the devil sends the hornet. 1 want to correct your opinion. “The Lord sent the hornet.” Then I think these annoyances conn* on its to cultivate our patience. In the gymnasium yon find upright paralh I bats with holes over each other for pegs to be put hi. Then (he gymnasf takes a peg lit each hand, and he be gins to climb, one Inch at a time or two Inches, and, getting his strength cultivated, reaches after awhile the ceiling. And it seems to me that these annoyances in life are a moral gymna sium, each worriment a peg with which we arc {o « |imb higher and high er in (’hristian attainment. We all love to see path-iiep, tmt it cannot bo ctilti- v a ted in fair weather. Patience Is a child of the storm. If you had every thing desirable and there was nothing more to g< t, what would you want with patience? The only time to culti vate it Is when you are lied about and sick ami half dead, “Oh,” you say, “if I only had the cir cumstances of some well to do man I would he patient too.” You might as well say, "If it were not for Mils wa ter, | would swim,” or, “1 could shoot Ibis gun If It were not for the ear- fridge.” When you stand chlu deep hi uijiioyaiiccs |* j|ie time for you to swim out toward the great headlands of (’lirlstiuu attainment, so as to "know t’hrlst ami the jmjwci- of his resurrection and to have fellowship with his sufferings." Trust In C hrist. Nothing hut the furnace will ever burn out of us the clinker ami the t lag. 1 have formed this theory In regard to small aiuioyuuces and vexatious. It lakes Just so much trouble to fit us for usefulness and for heaven. The only question is whether we shall take it in the bulk or pulverized and granulated. Here is one man who takes it in the bulk. His back Is broken or bis eye sight put out, or some other awful ca lamity befalls him, while the vast ma jority of people take the thing piece meal. Which way would you rather have it? Of course, in piecemeal. Better have five aching teeth than one broken Jaw, better 10 fly blisters than an amputation, befter 20 squalls than one cyclone. There may be a difference of opinion ns to allopathy and homeopathy, but hi this matter of trouble 1 like homeopathic doses, small pellets of annoyance rather than some ktioekdowu dose of calamity. Instead of the thunderbolt give ns the hornet. If you have a bank, you would a great i dial rather that ho no n would come in | with checks less than $100 than to have two depositors come in tin- same day, each wanting bis $10,000. In this latter ease you cough and look down to the floor and you look ujt to tin* ceil ing before you look into the safe. Now, my friends, would you not rather have these small drafts of annoyance on your batik of faith than some till stag gering demand upon your endurance? But remember that little as well as great annoyances equally require you to trust in Christ for succor and for deliverance from impatience and irrita bility. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is staid on thee.” In the village of Hamelin, tra lition says, there was an invasion of rats, and these small creatures almost devoured the town and threatened the lives of the population, and the story is that a piper came out one day and played a very sweet tune, and all the vermin followed him, followed him to the hanks of the Wescr, and then he blew a blast, and they dropped in and dis appeared forever, of course this is a fable; but I wish 1 could on the sweet flute of the gospel draw forth all the nibbling and burrowing annoyances of your life and play them down into the depths forever. Alii* to K|ilr!tuul YY'rultlk. How many touches did Mr. Church give to his picture of “Cotopaxi” or his “Heart of the Audi's?” I suppose about rsMJOO touches. I hear the canvas say ing: “Why do you keep me trembling with that pencil so long? Why don’t you put It on in one dash?” “No," says Mr. Church; "I know how to make a painting. It will take riO/.-nq of these touches.” And I want you, my friends, j to understand that it is these ten thou sand anuoyanees which under (Jod are making up the picture of your life, to he hung at last in the galleries of heav en, lit for angels to look at. (Jod knows how to make a picture. 1 go Into :i sculptor’s studio and see him shaping a statue. He has a chisel in one hand and a mallet in the other, and he gives a very gentle stroke"— click, click, click! 1 say, “Why don't you strike harder “O ii, iie replies, ' "that would shatter the statue. I can't do it that way. I mu-t. do it this way.” So he works on, and after awhile the features come out, and everybody that enters the studio is.charmed and fas cinated. Well, God has your soul under process of development, and it is the little annoyances and vexations of life that are chiseling out your Immortal nature. It is click, click, click! 1 won der why some great providence does not come and with one stroke prepare you for heaven. Ah.no! God says that Is not the way, and so he keeps on by strokes of little vexations until at last you shall bo a glad spectacle for angels and for men. You know that a large fortune may be spent lu small change, and a vast amount of moral character may go away In small depletions. It Is the lit tle troubles of life that are having more effect upon you than great ones. A swarm of locusts will kill a grain- field sooner than the incursion of three or four cattle. You say. “Since I lost my child, since I lost my property, I have been a dilYcrent man.” But you do not recognize the architecture of lit tle annoyances that are hewing, dig ging, cutting, shaping, splitting and in terjoining your moral qualities. Bats may sink a ship. One lucif* r match may send destruction through a block of storehouses. Catherine do’ Medici g • death from smelling a poison ous rose. Oolumbiix, by stopping and asking fora piece of bread and a drink of water at a L'ranciscnn convent, was led to the discovery of a new world. And there is an intimate connection be- t>veen trifles qnd immensities, between nothings and everything*. Now, be careful to let none of those annoyances go through your soul ttiiiir- reigned. Compel them to administer to your spiritual wealth. The scratch of a sixpenny nail sometimes produces lockjaw, and the clip of a most in finitesimal annoyance may damage you forever. Do not let any annoyance or perplexity come aei'oss your soul wit li mit its milking you better. (’unquer Smnll 'I'runbles. Our national government when It wanted money did not think it belit tling to put a tax on pins and a tax ou buckles ami a tax on shoes. The indi vidual taxes do not amount to much, but iii the aggregate to millions and millions of dollars. And 1 would have yen, o CUristiau man. put a high tariff on every annoyance and vexation that comes through your soul. This might not amount to much In single eases, but in the aggregate it would be a great revenue of spiritual strength and satisfaction. A Lee can suck honey even out of a nettle, and if you have the grace of God m your heart you can get sweetness out of Ih it which would otherwise irritate and annoy. A returned missionary told me that a company of adven'mers rowing up the Ganges were stung to death by flies that infest that region at curtain sea sons. Tin- earth lias been strewed with the carcasses of men slain by Insect niinoynnees. The only wny to gel pre pared for the great troubles of life is to conquer these small troubles. W'ln.t I would you say of a soldier who refused to load his gun or to go Into the conflict because It was only a skirmish, saying: I “I am not going to cxjieiid my nmuiuui- lion on a skirmish. Wait until there i pines a general engagement, and tlit'lt you frl|l see how courageous I am amj What battling I will do?” The general Yvotild say to such a man, “If you tiro pot faithful in a sklrniisn, you would be nothing lu a general engagement.” And I have to tell you, O Christian men. If you ennnot apply tin- prlneiph-s of Christ's religion on a smut! stale you will never be nblt to apply tln-ui on a large scale. If 1 had my way with you, I yvouJU have you possess all pos sible worldly prosperity. 1 would have you each one a garden, a river flowing through it, geraniums and shrubs on the sides anti the grass and flowers tts beautiful as though the rainbow had fallen. I would have you a house, a splendid mansion, and the beds should be covered with upholstery dipped in the setting sun. 1 would hint* every hall in your house set with statues and statuettes, and then I would have the four quarters of the globe pour in all their luxuries on your table, and you should have forks of silver anti knives of gold, inlaid with diamonds and amethysts. Then you slioifid each one of yon have the finest horses and your pick of the equipages of the world. Then I would have you live 150 years, and you should not have a paia or an ache until the last breath. (loti** IMcioitlKK. “Not each one of us?” you say. Yes, each one of you. “Not to your ene mies?” Yes. The only difference 1 would make with them would be that I would put a little extra gilt on their walls and a little extra embroidery on their slippers. But, you say, “Why does not God give tts all these things?” Ah! I bethink iuys<*lf. He is wiser. It would make fools ami sluggards of tts if we hail our way. No man puts his best picture in the portico or vestibule of his house. God meant this w orld to be only the vestibule of heaven, that great gallery of the universe toward Yvhieh we are aspiring. We must not have it too good in this world or we would want no heaven. Poly carp was condemned to be burn ed to death. The stake was planted. He was fastened to it. Tin* fagots were placed around him, the tires kin dled, but history tells us that the flames bent outward like the canvas i-f a ship in a stout breeze, so that the flames, instead of destroying Polycarp, were only a wall bet ween him and his enemies. They had actually to destroy him with the poniard. The flume* would not touch him. Well, my hear er, I want you to uuderstufid that by God’s grace the flames of trial, instead of consuming your soul, are only going to be a wall of defense, and a canopy of blessing. God is going to fulfill to you the blessings and the promises, as he did to Polycarp. “When thou walk- est through the tire, thou shall not be burned. ’ Now you do not understand, but you shall know hereafter.
