How many touches did Mr. Church give to his picture of ”Co-to- paxi" or his “Heart of the Andes?" I. suppose about 50,000 touches.

Those people of whomI speak reap and bind in the great harvest fidd of discouragement. Some day you greet them with a hilarious “Good morning," and they come buzzing at you with some de- pressing information. “The Lord Sent the hornet.” In my text the hornet flies out on its mission. It is a species of wasp, swift. in its motion, and violent in its sting. Its touch is torture to man }or beast. We have all seen the cat- itle run bellowing under the cut of >its~l~ancetu In boyhood we used to stand cautiously looking at the globular nest hung from the tree branch, and while we were looking 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 20 of them alighting on one man will produce certain death. The Persians attempted to conquer a Christian city, but the elephants and the beasts on which the Per- sians rode were assaulted by the her-- net, so that the whole army was broken up. and the besieged city was rescued. This burning and noxious insect stung out the Hittites and the Canaanites from their country. What gleaming sword and chariot of war could not accomplish 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 get on the high inettled steed of our courage. and we make a cavalry charge at them, and if God be with us We. come out stronger and better than when we Wei'it in. But alas for these insectile annoy- ances of life. these fees too small to shoot. these things without any at'oirdupois weight, the gums and the midges and the flies and the rasps and the hornets! In other words. it is the small stinging an- noyances of our life which drive, us out and use us up. In the best conâ€" (litie-zied life for some grand and glorious purpose. God has Sent the hornet.

In this latter case. you cough and look down to the floor and you look up to the ceiling before you look into the safe. Now, my friends, would you not rather have these small drafts of annoyance on your bank of faith than some all stagger- ing 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 ir- ritability, ("mm wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee.” ’ Nothing but the furnace will ever burn out of us the clinker and the slag. I have formed this theory in r('-gur(l to small annoyances and vex- ntions. It takes just so much trouble 10 fit; us for usefulness and for heau-n. The only question is whether we shall take it in the bulk or pulvmized and granulated. Here is one man who takes it in bulk. His back is broken or his eyesight put out, or some other awful calam- ity liefulls him, while the vast maâ€" 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 ten fly blist- ers than an amputation, better 20 squalis than one cyclone. There may be a difference of opinion as to alloâ€" pathy and homeopathy, but in this, nmttvr of trouble I like homeopath- ic dosns, small pellets of annoyance Path-11cc is a child of the storm. If you had everything desirable and UH‘I‘O was nothing more to get, what Would you want with patience? The only time to cultivate it; is when you are lied about and sick and half dead. Then I think thC‘St! annoyances come, on us to cultivate uur pa- tience. In the gymnasium you find upright parallel bars with holes: over each other for pegs to be put in. Then the. m'nina-Gt takes a- peg in each hand, and he begins to climb, one inch at a time or two inches, and getting his strength cultivated, reaches alter a while the ceiling. And it seems to me that these an- noyances in life are a mural gym- nasium, each “'orriinent a peg with which we are to climb higher and higher in Christian attainment. We all love to see patience, but it. canâ€" not be cultivated in fair weather. These annoyances are sent on us, I think, to wake us up from our lethargy. There is nothing that makes a man so lively as a nest of “yellow jackets," and I think that these annoyances are intended to persuade us of the fact that this is not a. world for us to stop in. If we had a bed of everything that was attractive and soft and easy, what would we want of heaven? We think that the hollow tree. sends the her- net, or we may think that the devil sends the hornet. I want to cor- rect your opinion. “The Lord sent the hornetf’ a. family of 20,00!) Wasps, and it does seem as if every annoyance of your life brooded a million. By the help of God, toâ€"day I want to show you the other side. The hornet is of no use? Oh, yes! The naturalist tells us they are very important in the world’s economy. They kill spi- ders, and they clear the atmosphere. And I really believe God sends the annoyances of our life upon us to kill the spiders of the soul and to clear the. atmosphere of our skies. I have noticed in the history of some. of my congregation that. their annoyances are multiplying and that: they have a. hundred where they used to have ten. The naturalisfl tells us that a wasp sometimes has These small insect disturbances may also come in the shape of busi- ness irritation. There are men here who went through the 24th of Sepâ€" tember, 1869, and the panics of 187: and 1893 Without losing their balance. who are every day unh‘orsed by little annoyances a clerk’s ill manners, or a. blot of ink on a bill of lading, or the extravagance of a partner who overdraws his ac- count, or the underselling by a busi- ness rival, or the whispering of store commences in the street, or the Bulking of some little bad debt which was against your judgment; but you Wanted to please somebody else. Perhaps these small insect annoyâ€" ances will come in the shape of a domestic irritation. The parlor and the kitchen do not alwqys harmonâ€" ize. To get good service and to keep it is one of the great questions of the countrV'. Sometimes it may be 'the arrogance and inconsiderateâ€" ness of empl’oyers: but, whatever he the. fact, “0 all admit there are these insect annoyances winging their way out from the culinary deâ€" partment. If the grace of God be not. in the heart of the housekeeper, she cannot maintain her equilibrium. a sick headache which has been the plague of your life,'and you appoint some occasion of mirth or sociality or usefulness, and when the clock strikes the hour you cannot make your appearance. IPerhaps the troubkzis between the ear and the forehead in the shape of a neuralgic tudnge. Nobody can smait or synk pathize “nth it, but just at the time when you want your intellect clearest and your disposition brightâ€" est you feel a. sharp, keen, discon- certing thrust. “The Lord sent the hornet.’ ’ The small insect annoyances of life sometimes come in the shape of local physical trouble which does not amount to a. positive prostration, but which bothers You when you want to feel the best. Perhaps it is the livery stable, and the hostler, _a. plain ‘man, said to me, “Mr. Tal- mage, I saw that you preached to the young men yesterday.” I said, “Yes.” He said: “No use, no use. Man’s a failure.” God's grace the Ila'mos of trial. inâ€" stead of consuming your soul. are only going to be a Wall of defense and a canoby of blessing. God is going to fulfill to you the hlvssings and the promises. as ho. did to Pouâ€" carp. "When thou walkost through the fire, thou shalt ‘not, ho. burned." Now you do not understand..hut you shall. know. hereafter. 1n lwawn you will bless God even for the hornet I’olywrp was condemned to be burned to death. The stake Was planted. He vas fastened to it. The ingots were. placed around him, the fires kindled, but history tells us that the. flames bent outx‘ard like the. canvas of a ship in a stout breeZe, so that the Iimnes, instead of destroying Polycarp, “’01‘0 only a wall between him and his enemies. They had actually to destroy him with the poinard. The. flames would not touch him. Well, my hearer, I want you to understand that by God’s grace the “fluxes, of trial. in- stead of cnnmnninn- x'nnv- an.» Mm “But," you say, " Vhy does not God give us all those things?" Ah! I bathink to mysvlf. No is Wiser. It Would make fools and sluggards of us if we had our Way. No man puts his best picture in the. portico or vestibule ofhis house. God mo nt this world to be onlv tho vestibulo of heaven, that grout gallerv of the universe touurd “hich “c are as- piring. We must not have it 100 good in this world, or we would want no heaven. “Not each mm of us?” you say. Yes, each one of you. "Not to your enemies?" Yes. The onlv dif- ference I would make “'iLh them would be that I would put; a little extra gilt on their walls and a little extra ombroidury on; their slippers. A returned missionary told me that a company of adventurers row- ing up the Ganges were stung to death by flies that infest that region at certain seasons. The earth had been strewed with the carcasses of men :Jain by insect annoyances. The only Way to get prepared for the great troubles of life is to conquer these small troubles. What Would you say of a soldier who refused to load his gun or to go into the con- flict. because it was only a skirmish, saying: “I am not going to expend my ammunition on a. skirmish. Wait until there is a general engagement and then you will see how courage- ous I am and what battling I will 10‘?" The general would say to such a. man, “If you are not faithful in a. skirmish, you would be nothing; in a general engagement." And I have to tell you, 0 Christian men. if you cannot apply the principles of Christ‘s religion on a small scale you will never be. able to apply them on a larger scale. If I had my way with you, I would have you possess all possible worldly prosperity. I would have you each one a garden. a river flowing through it, gera- niums and shrubs on the sides and the grass and flowers as beautiful as though the rainbow had fallen. I would have you a. house, a splendid mansion, and the beds should he cov- ered with upholstery dipped in the setting sun. I would have every hall in your house set. with statues and sta‘tuettes, amd 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 and knivvs cf :rold, inlaid with din;- monds and 1‘ 1:: ‘ :hysts. Now, be careful to let none of those annoyances go through your soul unarraigned. Compel them to administer to your spiritual wealth. The scratch of a. Sixpenny nail some- times produces lockjaw, and the clip of a most infinitesimal annoyance may damage you' forever. Do not let any annoyance or pcrploxity come across your soul without its making you better. a poisonous rose. Columbus, by stop- ping and asking for a piece of bread and a drink of water at 3. Francis- can convent, was led to the discov- ery of a new world. And there is an intimate connection between trifles and immensities, between nothings and everythings. may sink a, ship. One lucifcr match may send destruction through a. block of storehouses. Catherine (10' Medici got her death from smelling Chum i, “I know painting. It will take 50,000 of ‘ And I want you, these touches." . _ my friends] to understand that It is 'these ten thousand annoyances picture of your life, last in the galleries of heaven, fit look at. God knows how to make a picture. I go into a sculptor’s 5 see him shaping a. chisel in one the other, and he gives a vcrv gen- tle strokeâ€"click, click, click! I say, “Why don’t you strike harder?” “Oh," he replies, “that would shatâ€" ter the statue. I can’t do it that way. I must do it the other way." So he works on, and after awhile the features come out, and everybody that enters the studio is charmed and fascinated. 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 wonder why and with one stroke prepare you for heaven. An, no! God says that is not the way, and so he keeps on by strokes of little vexations until at last you shall be a glad spectacle for angels and for men. You know that a large fortune may be spent in small change, and a vast amount of moral character may go away in small depletions. It is the little troubles of life that are having more effect upon you than great ones. A swarm of locusts will kill a grainfield sooner, than the in- cursion of three or four cattle. You say, “Since I lost my child, since I lost my property, I have been a difâ€" ferent man.” But you do not recog- nize the architecture of little annoy- ancos that are hewing. digging. cuttâ€" t-ing, shaping, splitting and inter- joining your moral qualities.
