WASiiiNaroN, April 28.—In this dle- course Dr. TuImage draws Ills illustra tions from a realm seldom utilized for moral and religious purposes; text, Proverbs vl, 0-8: ''Go to the ant, thou sluggard. Consider her ways and be wise, which, having no guide, overseer or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer and gatheretli her food in the harvest.” The most of Solomon's writings have perished. They have gone out of ex istence as thoroughly as the 20 books of Pliny and most of the booMi of ACsehylus and Euripides and Varro and Quintilian. Solomon’s Song and Ecclesiastes and Proverbs, preserved by Inspiration, are a small part of his voluminous productions. He was a great scientist. One verse in the Bible suggests that he was a botanist, a zo ologist, an ornithologist, an ichthyolo gist and knew all about reptllla. I Kings Iv, ^3, “He spake of trees, from tbe cedar tree that Is In Lebanon even unto the hyssop that sprlngeth out of the wall; he spake also of beasts and of fowl and of creeping things and of fishes.” Besides all these scientific works, he composed 3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs. Although Solomon lived long before tbe microscope was constructed, he was also an Insectologist and watched and describes tbe spider build Its suspen sion bridge of silk from tree to tree, calling it the spider’s web, and be no tices its skillful foothold In climbing the smooth wall of the tbroneroom in Jerusalem, saying, ‘‘The spider taketh hold with her hands and is in kings’ palaces.” But he Is especially Interest ed in the ant and recommends its hab its as worthy of study and Imitation, saying. “Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her ways and be wise, which, having no guide, overseer or ruler, pro videth her meat In the summer and gatheretli her food in the harvest” But it was not until about 300 years ago, when Jan Swammerdam, the son of an apothecary at Amsterdam, Hol land, began the study of tbe ant under powerful lens, that the full force of Solomon’s injunction was understood. The great Dutch scientist In Ids exam ination of the insect in my text discov ered as great display of the wisdom of God in its anatomy as astronomers dis cover In the heavens and was so ab sorbed and wrought upon by the won ders be discovered In the ant and other Insects that body and mind gave way, and be expired at 43 years of age, a martyr of the great science of Insectol ogy. No One bat God. No one but God could have fashion ed the insect spoken of in the text or given It such genius of instinct—Its wisdom for harvesting at the right time, Its wonders of antenme, by which It gathers food, and of mandibles, which, instead of the motion of the human jaw up and down in mastica tion, move from side to side; Us nerv ous system. Its enlarging doors In hot weather for more sweep of breeze. Its mode of attack and defense, closing the gate at night against bandit In vaders; Its purification of the earth for human residence. Its social life. Its re publican government with the consent of the governed. Its maternal fidelities, the habit of these creatures of gather ing now and then under the dome of the ant hillock seemingly In consulta tion and then departing’ to execute their different missions. But Solomon would not commend all tbe habits of tbe ant, for some of them are as bad as some of the habits of the human race. Some of these small creatures are desperadoes and murder ers. Now aud then they marshal them selves Into boats and march In straight Mae and come upon an encampment of their own race and destroy Its oc cupants, except the young, whom they carry Into captivity, and If the army come back without any such captives they are not permitted to enter, but arc sent forth to make more successful conquest. Solomon gives no com mendation to such sanguinary be havior among Insects any more than he would have commended sanguinary be havior among men. But what are the habits wblcb Solo mon would enjoin wben be says, "con sider her ways and be wise?” First of all, providence, forethought, anticipa tion of coming uecessltlcs. I am sorry to say these qualities are not charac teristic of all tbe ants. These crea tures of God are divided Into granlvor- ous and carnivorous. Tbo latter are not frugal, but tbe former are frugal. While the air is warm and moving about Is not hindered by Ice or snow bank, they Import tbelr cargoes of food. They bring In tbelr caravan of provision; they haul In tbelr long train of wheat or corn or oats. Tbe farmers are not more busy in July and August In reaping their harvest than are tbe ants busy In July and August reaping tbelr harvest. They stack them away, they pile them up. 'They question when they h%ve enough. Tl^ey aggre gate a sufficient amount to last them until the next warm season. When winter opens, they are ready. Blow, ye wintry blasts! Hang your Idclea from the tree braucbesl Imbed all the highways under ^snowdrifts! Enough for all tbe denizens of the bills. Hun ger shut out, and plenty alts within. God, who feedetb every living thing, baa blessed the act bill. FvovIS* For tbo Fatnro. In contrast with that Insectlle be havior what do you think of that large umuber of prosperous men and women who live up to every dollar that they make, raising their families In luxu rious habits aud at death expecting some kind friend to give their (laugh ers employment as music teachers or rpewiiters or government employees? eh parents have no tight to children. -Ivery neighborhood baa specimens of »ucb improvidence. The two words that most strike me In the text are "summer” and “winter.” Home people have no summer In tbelr Uvee. From the rocking cradle to tbs still grave, It Is relentless January. Invalid Infancy followed by some crippling accident or 410UUH jg irfrirti if jjtyiagf t heaiiug or privation or disaster or un fortunate environment makes llfon per petual winter. But In i ost lives thftio is a period of summer, tteimli it may be a short summer, ml That Is the time to provide for the future. One of the beni ways of Insuring the future is to put aside all you can for charitable provision. You put a crum bling stone in the foundation of your fortune If you do not In your plans re gard the sufferings that you may alle viate. You will have the pledge of the high heavens for your temporal wel fare when you help the helpless, for the promise is “Blessed Is he that cou- sidereth the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.” Then there Is another way of providing for the fu ture. If you have $1,000 a year In come, save $100; or $2,000 a year, save $500; or $3,000, save $1,000. Do you say such economy Is meanness? 1 say It is a vaster meanness for you to make no provision for the future and compel your friends or the world to take care of you or yours In case of bereavement or calamity. There are women who at the first in crease of tbelr husband’s resources wreck all on an extravagant wardrobe. There are men who at the prospect of larger prosperity build houses they will never be able to pay for. There are people with $4,000 a year income who have not one dollar laid up for a rainy day. It Is a ghastly dishonesty practiced on the q^xt generation. Such men deserve bankruptcy and impover ishment. In almost every man’s life there comesa winter of cold misfortune. Prepare for It while you may. Whose thermometer has not sometimes stood below zero? What ship has never been caught In a storm? What regiment at the front never got Into a battle? Have at least as much foresight as the Insec tlle world. Examine the pantrios of the ant hills In $bis April weather, and you will find that last summer’s sup ply Is not yet exhausted. Examine them next July, and you will find them being replenished. “Go to the ant, thou sluggard. Consider her ways and be wise, which, having no guide, overseer or ruler, provideth her meat In the summer and gatheretb her food In the harvest." , Avoid Avarice. This is no argument for miserliness. Avarice and penuriousness destroy a man about as soon as any of the other vices. We have heard of those who entered their Iron money vault for business purposes, and the door acci dentally shut, and they were suffocat ed, their corpse not discovered until the next day. But every day and all up and down the streets of our cities there are men. body, mind and soul, forever fast In their own money vaults. Ac cumulation of bonds, mdrtgnges and government securities and town lots and big farms Just for tbe pleasure of accumulation is despicable, but the put ting aside of a surplus for your self de fense when your brain has halted, or your right hand has forgotten Its cun ning, or your old age'heeds a manserv ant, or for the support of others when you can no more be a breadwinner for your household—that is right, that Is beautiful, that la Christian, that Is di vinely approved. That shows that you have taken Solomon’s ant hill for an ob ject lesson. Going out of this world without leaving a dollar for those who remain behind. If you have done your best, you have a right to put your head Id calm confidence on the pillow which Jeremiah shook up in tbe forty-ulnth chapter of bis prophecy, “Leave tby fatherless children. I will preserve them alive, and let thy widows trust In me.” But If. having the means, through mortgages or bouses or life luaurnnce for providing for helpless widowhood and orphanage you make no provision for post mortem need, bow dare you go up and take a palace In heaven and let your wife and children go to the poor- house or Into a struggle for bread that makes life a horror and sometimes ends In suicide? But my subject reaches higher than temporalities—foresight for the soul, provision for eternal experiences, prep aration for tbe far beyond. Ant bills, apeak out aud teach us a larger and mightier lesson of preparing food for tbe more Important part of us! Do you realize that a man may ba a mil lionaire or a multimillionaire for time and a bankrupt for eternity, a prince for a few years and a pauper forever? Tbe ant would not be satisfied with gathering enough food for half a win ter or quarter of a winter. But bow many of us seem content, Uiougb not having prepared for tbe tA-mllllonth part of what will be our existence! Put yourself in right relations to tbe Christ of tbe agea, through him seek pardon ^.Xor all you have ever done wrong and strength for all you will be called to endure, and there will be no force In life or death or eternity to dis comfit you. I declare HI There is enough of transforming and strength ening power In Christ for both hemi spheres! (■iportaaee of Little Thlafa. Furthermore, go to tbe aut aud con sider that It does not decline work be cause It la Insignificant Tbe fragment/* of seed It hauls Into Its habitation may be so small that tbe unaided eye cannot see It, but tbe Insectlle work goes on— the carpenter ant at work aboveground, tbe mason ant at work underground. Some of these creatures mix tbe leaves of tbe fir and the catklna of tbe pine for the roof or wall of their tiny abode, and others-go out as hunters looking for food, while others In domestic du ties stay at home. Twenty specks of the food they are moving toward tbelr granary, put upon a balance, would hardly make the scales quiver. All of H work on a small scale. There la no uae In our refusing a mission because It la Insignificant. Anything that God In bla providence puta before ua to do Is Important. Tbe needle baa Its office ai certainly as tbe telescope and the spade as a parliamentarian scroll. You know what became of the man In the parable of the talents, who buried the one talent instead of putting It to prac tical and accumulative use. His apol ogy was of no avail. There la no need of our wanting time and energy In lunging for some other sphere. There are plenty of people to do tbe big and resounding work of tbe church and tbe world. No lack of brigadier generals or master builders or engineers for bridging Niagaras or tunneling Rocky mountains. For every big enterprise of the world a dozen candidates. What we want la private soldiers In tb? common ranks, masons not ashamed to wield a trowel, caudl- work t« be Uop« ft ordinary ways in oratn&tT fiiflcos. Kigin where wo are thoro Is something that God would have ns do. Let us do it, though it mhy seem to be ns unimpor tant ss the rolling of a grain of corn into an aut hill. Furthermore, go to the ant and con sider Its indefatigableuesa. if by the accidental stroke of your foot or the removal of a timber the cities of the insect He world arc destroyed, Instantly they go to rebuilding. They do not sit around moping. At it again In a sec ond. Their fright immediately gives way to tbelr industry. Aud if our schemes of usefulness and our plans of work fall why sit down In discourage ment? As large ant hills as have ever been constructed will be constructed again. Put your trust In God and do your duty, and your best days are yet to come. You have never heard such songs as you will yet hear, nor have you ever lived In such grand abode as you will yet occupy, and all the world ly treasures you have lost are nothing compared with the opulence that you will yet own. If you love and trust the Lord, Paul looks you In the face and then waves his hand toward a heaven full of palaces and thrones, crying, “All are yours!” So that what you fail to get In this present life you will get In the coming life. Go to work right away and rebuild as well ns you can. knowing that what the trowels of earthly industry fall to rear the scepters of heavenly reward will more than make up. Persistence Is the lesson of every ant hill. Waste not a moment in useless regrets or unhealthy repining. Men fret themselves down, Jiut no man ever yet fretted himself up. Make the obstacles In your way your coadjutors, as all those have who have accomplished anything worth ac complishment. Pat Yoar Traat In God. John Philpot Curran, master of tbe rolls In Ireland,' at his first attempt In court stammered and sat down in confusion and for that stammering was derisively called “Stuttering Jack Curran” and because of his failure iu speech was sneered at as "Orator Mum.” But he went to work and con quered himself and then conquered courtrooms and great assemblages, whom he thrilled with his eloquence. So, Instead of running against ob stacles as against a stone wall, he placed them aslant like steps on which to mount. Put your trust In God. and nothing can stand before you. Ititten- house, the astronomer, at the start was so poor that he figured out eclipses on a plow handle. Furthermore, go to the unt and con sider that If God honors an insect by making It our Instructor iu important lessons we ought not to abuse the low er orders of creation. It has been found by scientists that Insects trans fixed In the case of a museum have been alive and in torture for years. How much the insect and the fowl and the brute may be rightly called to suf fer for the advancement of human knowledge and the betterment of the condition of the human race I do not now stop to discuss, but be who use lessly barms any of God’s living crea tion insults the Creator. Alas, for the horrors of vivisection! I have no con fidence in the morality of a man or a woman who would harm a horse or a dog or a cat or a pigeon. Such men and women, under affront. If they dar ed, would take the life of a human be ing. You cannot make me believe that God looks down Indifferently upon the galled neck of the ox, or tbe cruelly curbed bit of tbe borse, or the unshel tered cattle In tbe snowstorm, er tbe cockpit, or the bear baiting. Go to the aut, thou miscreaut, and see bow God honors it. In tbe great college of tbe universe it has been ap pointed your professor. All over the land and all over tbe world there are overdriven horses that ought to be un harnessed, caged birds that ought to be put od their wings In tbe free air of heaven, 'droves of cattle agonized of thirst on tbe freight trains where they ought to be watered, and Crustacea be ing broiled alive that ought to be lifted out of tbe fire. Christ chose 12 apos tles for tbe human race In the first cen tury, and you know their names, but Id tbe nineteenth century be chose bis thirteenth apostle, who wrought for tbe relief of the brute creation, and his name was Henry Bergb. In my text tbe ant Is not Impaled, Is not dead, but alive, and In the warm fields providing her meat In tbe aummer and gathering her food In tbe harvest Lomrm From <h« Ant. Furthermore, go to tbe ant and learn tbe lesson of God appointed order. The being who taught tbe insect how to build was geometer aa well as archi tect Tbe paths inside that little borne radiate from the door with as complete arrangement as ever the boulevards of a city radiated from a triumphal arch or a flowered circle. If there Is a divine regulation in a colony or republic of insects, is there not a divine regulation In the lives of Immortal men and women? If God cures for the least of his creatures and shows them how to provide their meat the summer and gather their food a. harvest, will he not be Interest ed In matters of human livelihood and in the guidance of human affairs? I preach the doctrine of a particular providence. “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? Are ye not of more value than many sparrows?” Let there be order in our Individual lives, order In the family, order in the church, order In the state. In all the world there Is no room for anarchy. After what Linnams and IMerre Hu ber have told us concerning these liv ing mites of the natural world, are we not ready to believe that the God who turns tbe wheel of the solar system and the vaster wheel of the universe regulates Jhe beehive and the ant hill and that all tbe affairs of our mortal llve| are under divine management? When some one asked a hermit on the top of a mountain Iu Italy If he did not feel It dangerous to live so many miles from human habitation, be re plied, "No; Providence Is my very next door neighbor.” Frevlfteatlal Keseaas. When during the plague In London, at the risk of his life and under the protest of his friends, Rev. Thomas Vincent spent his time preaching the gospel to the sufferers and *18,51X1 peo ple perished, seven fatalities In the bouse where he lived, did It Just hap pen so that he came through unbuji? In Fulton street prayer meeting, Ntw York, a young man rose aud said: “I have been an lufldel 14 years. 1 had tli« jirayeri of $ ylous oaotbu, but l spurned them. \ .iSv* not seen her for 16 years. I suppose she has given me up as lost. I don't know where to find her, but I would like to tell her what the Lord has done for me In answer to her earnest prayers." Did it Just hap pen so that his mother was present and cried out, “Oh, my son, my son?” You know of the glorious Christian work in Japan, but do you know how it began? A New Testament was dropped from an English ship In the hnrt>or of To kyo. The little book came into the hands of a prominent Japanese, who read It and was brought to God and immediately began to commend Christ to the people. Did all that merely hap pen so? Tell that to those who do not believe there Is a God, but do not tell it to at least a hundred of us who have had In our own lives providential res cues as easily proved as that we have ever lived at all. God Infinitely Wise. But we live In times when there are bo many clashiugs. There seems al most universal unrest. Large fortunes swallow up small fortunes. Civilized nations trying to gobble up barbaric nations. Upheaval of creeds, aud peo ple who once believed everything now believing nothing. The old book that Moses began and St. John ended bom barded from scientific observatories and college classrooms. Amid all this disturbance and uncertainty that which many good people need is not a stim ulus, but a sedative, and iu my text 1 find It—divine observation and guid ance of minutest affairs. And nothing is to God large or small, planet or ant hill, the God who easily made the worlds employing his infinity In the wondrous construction of a spider's foot Before we leave this subject let us thank God for those who were willing to endure the fatigues and self sacri fices uecessary to make revelation of the natural world, so re-enforcing the Scriptures. If the microscope could speak, what a story It could tell of hardship aud poverty and suffering and perseverance on the part of those who employed it for Important discovery. It would tell of the blinded eyes of M. Strauss, of the Hubers and of scores of those who, after inspecting the minute objects of God's creation, staggered out from their cabinets with vision de stroyed. Tills hour iu many a pro fessor’s study the work of putting eye sight on the altar of science Is going on. And what greater loss can one suffer than the loss of eyesight unless it be loss of reason? While the tele scope is reaching farther up aud the microscope Is reaching farther down, both are exclaiming: “There Is a God, and he is infinitely wise and Infinitely good! Worship him and worship him forever!” Aud now I bethink myself of the fact that we are close to a season of the year which will allow us to be more out of doors and to confrom the les sons of the natural world, and there are voices that seem to say, “Go ta the ant; go to the bird; go to the flowers; go to the fields; go to the waters.” Lis ten to the cantatas that drop from the gallery of the tree tops. Notice in the path where you walk the lessons of in dustry and divine guidance. Make natural religion a commentary on re vealed religion. Put the glow of sun rise aud sunset into your spiritual ex periences. Let every star speak of the morning star of the Redeemer and ev ery aromatic bloom make you think of him who is the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley and every overhang ing cliff remind you of the rock of ages aud every morning suggest the “day spring from on high, which glv- eth light to those who are In darkness,” and even the little hillock bu^lt by tbe roadside or In tbe fields remind you of the wisdom of imitating In temporal and spiritual things the insectlle fore thought, "which, having no guide, over seer or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer and gatheretb her food In tbe harvest.” {Copyright, 1801. by LouU Kloptch, N.
