DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON. HE SCORES HYPOCRITES AND DISHONEST TRADERS. Christ Used Kean Wit Against the Pharisees, and Me Doubt People Smiled la Chareh Then as Now—Various harms at laeoaalstenoy. N ' *, tee* At the Tabsrnnolw The tendency to formalism In religion ■nd to hypocritical pretense iu society received a severe castigation from the pulpit of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Dr. Talmag® made a vigorous onslaught upon It, bulnshls remarks on the text, Matthew xxlii, 24, *’Ye blind guides, who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.” A proverb is compact wisdom, knowledge In chunks, a library In a sentence, the electricity of many clouds discharged In one bolt, a river put through a millrace. When Christ quotes the proverb of the text He means to set forth the ludicrous behavior of those who make a great bluster about small sins and have no appreciation of great ones. In my text a small 7 lnsect and a large quadruped are brought into comparison —a gnat and a camel. You have In museum or on the desert seen the latter, a great awkward, sprawling oreatnre, with back two stories high and stomach having a collection of reservoirs for desert travel, an animal forbidden to the Jews as food and in many literatures entitled "the ship of the desert.” The gnat spoken of In thetext is in the grub form. It is born In pool or pond, after a few weeks becomes a chrysalis and then after a few days becomes the gnat as we recognize It But the insect spoken of in the text is in its very smallest shape and it yet inhabits the water—for my text is a misprint and ought to read “Strain out a gnat” My text shows you the prince of inconsistencies. A man after long observation has formed the suspicion that In a cup of water he is about to drink there is a grub or the grandparent of a gnat He goes and gets a qjeve or a strainer. He takes the water and pours it through the sieve in the broad light He says, “I would rather do anything almost than drink this water until this larva be ex-' tirpated.” This water is brought under inquisition. The experiment Is successful. The water rushes through the sieve and leaves against the side of the sieve the grub or gnat Then the man carefully removes the Insect and drinks the water in placidity. But going out one day and hungry, he devours a “ship of the desert” the camel, which the Jews were forbidden to eat The gastronomer has no compunctions of conscience. He suffers from no Indigestions. He put the lower jaw under the camel’s forefoot and his upper jaw over the hump of the camel’s back, and gives one swallow and the dromedary disappears forever. He strained out a gnat he swallowed a camel. While Christ’s audience were yet smiling at the apposltencss and wit of His ill ustration—for smile they did in church, unless they were too stupid to understand the hyperbole—Christ practically to them, “That is you.” Punctilious about small things; recklpss about affairs of great magnitude. No subject ever withered under a surgeon’s knife more bitterly than did the Pharisees under Christ’s scalpel of truth. As an anatomist will take a human body to pieces and put them under a microscope for examination, so Christ finds His way to the heart of the dead Pharisee and cuts it out and puts it under the glass of Inspection for all generations to examine. Those Pharisees thought that Christ' would flatter them and compliment them, and how they must have writhed under the red hot words as He said, “Ye fools, ye whited sepulchers, ye blind guides which strain out a gnat and swallow a camel.” There are in aor day a great many gnats strained out and a great many camels swallowed, and it is the object of this sermon to sketch a few persons who rfbe extensively engaged in that business. First, I remark, that all thpse ministers of the Gospel are photographed in the text who are very scrupulous about the conventionalities of religion, but put no particular stress upon matters of vast importance. Church services ought to be grave and solemn. There is no room for frivolity in religious convocation. But there are Illustrations, and there are hyperboles like that of Christ in the text that will irradiate with smiles any intelligent audience. There are men lixe those bland guides of the text who advocate only those things in religious service which draw the corners of the mouth down, and denounce all those things which have a tendency to draw the corners of the mouth up, and these men will go to installations and to presbyteries and to conferences and to associations, their pockets full of fine sieves to strain out the gnats, while in their own churches at hqme every Sunday there are fifty people sound asleep. They make their churches a great dormitory, and their somniferous sermons are a cradle, and the drawled out hymns a lullaby, while some wakeful soul in a pew with her fan keeps the flies off unconscious persons approximate. Now, I say it is worse to sleep tn church than to smile in church, for the latter implies at least attention, while the former implies the indifference of the hearers and the stupidity of the speaker. I take down from my library the biographies of ministers and writers of the past ages. Inspired and uninspired, who have done the most to bring souls to Jesus Christ, and I find that without a single exception they concentrated their wit and their humor to Christ Elijah used it when ho advised the Baalites, as they could not make their god respond, telling them to call louder as their god might be sound asleep or gone a hunting. Job used it when he said to his self-conceited comforters, “Wisdom will die with you." Christ not only used it iri the text, but when He Ironically complimented the putrefied Pharisees, saying, “The whole need not a physician,” and when by one word Ho described the cunning of Herod, saying, “Go ye, and tell that fox." Matthew Henry’s Commentaries from the first page to the last coruscated with humor as summer, clouds with heat lightning. John Bunyan's writings are as full of humor as they are of saving truth,and there Is not an aged man here who has ever read “Pilgrim’SProgress” who does not remember that while reading it he smiled as often as he,wept Chrysostom, George Herbert, Robert South, John Wesley, George Whitefield, Jeremy Taylor, Rowland Hill, Nettleton, George G. Finney aud all the men of the past who greatly advanced the Kingdom of God consecrated their wit and their humor to tho cause of Christ. Religious work without any humor or wit in it is a banqiAt with a side of beef, and that raw, and no condiments and no dessert succeeding. People will not sit down at such a bangueL By all means remove all frivolity and all pathos and all. lightness and all vulgarity—strain them out through the sieve of holy discrimination; button the other hand, be ware of that monster which overshadows the Christian church to-day, conventionally, coming up from the Groat Sahara Desert of Eccleslsstielstn, having I on its back K hump of sanctimonious goom— and vehemently refuse to swalw that camel. | Oh, how particular a great many are 1 about the Infinitesimals while they are j 1 i , ;/ ' ' « ■ft'-ft?--.,.

quite reckless about the magnitudes What did Christ say? Did He not excoriate the people in His time who were so careful to wash their hands before a meal, but did not wash their hearts? It is a bad thing to have unclean hands; it to a worse thing to have an unclean heart. How many people are there inour time who are very anxious that after their death they shall be buried with their feet toward the east, and not at all anxious that during their whole life they should face in the right direction so that they shall come up in the resurrection of the just whichever way they are buried. How many there are chiefly anxious that a minister of the Gospel shall come tn the line of apostolic succession, not caring so much whether ho comes from Apostle Paul or Apostle Judas. They have away ot measuring a gnat until it Is larger than a camel. Again,my subject photographs all those who are abhorrent of small sins while they are reckless In regard to magnificent thefts. You will find many a merchant who, while he is so careful that he would not take a yard ot cloth or a spool ot the counter without paving tor IL and who if abauk cashier should make a mistake and send in a roll of bills $5 too much would dispatch a messenger in hot haste to return the surplus, yet who will go into a stock company in which after awhile he gets control of the stock and then waters the stock and makes $100,009 appear like $200,000. He stole only SIOO,OOO by the operation. Many of the men of fortune made their wealth in that way. One of those men engaged in such unrighteous acts, that evening, the evening of the very day when he watered the stock, will find a wharf rat stealing an evening newspaper from the basement doorway, and will go out and catch the urchin by the collar and twist the collar so tightly the poor fellow cannot say that it was thirst for knowledge that led him to tho dishonest act, but grip the collar tighter and tighter, saying; "I have been looking for you a long while. You stole my paper four or five times haven’t you? You miserable wretch!” And then the old stock gambler, with a voice they can hear three blocks, will cry out, “Police, police!” That same man, the evening of the day on which he watered the stock, will kneel with his family in prayer and thank God for the prosperity of tfie day, then kiss his children good night with an air which seems to say, “I hope you will all grow up to be as good as your father!” Prisons for sins insectile in size, but palaces for crimes dromedarian. No mercy for sins animalcule in proportion, but great leniency for mastodon iniquity. it is time thtet we learn in America that sin is not excusable in proportion as it declares large dividends and has outriders in equipage. Many a man is riding to perdition postilion ahead and lackey behind. To steal a dollar is a gnat; to steal many thousands of dollars is a camel. There is many a fruit dealer who would not consent to steal a basket of peaches from a neighbor’s stall, but who would not scruple to depress the fruit market; and as Jong as I can remember we have heard every summer the peach crop of Maryland is a failure, and by the time the -crop comes in the misrepresentation makes a difference of millions of dollars. A man who would not steal one peach basket.steals 50,000 peach baskets. Any summer go down into the Mercantile library, in the reading rooms, and see the newspaper reports of the crops from all parts of the country, and their phraseology is very much the same, and the same men wrote them, methodically and infamously carrying out the huge lying about the grain crop from year to year and for a score of years. After awhile there is a “corner” tn the wheat markeL and men who bad a contempt for a petty theft will burglarize the wheat bin of a natidn and commit, larceny upon the American corncrib. And men will sit in churches and iu reformatory institutions trying - to strain out the K small gnats of scoundrelism, while in their grain elevators and in their storehouses they are fattening huge camels which they expect after awhile to swallow.' Society has to be entirely reconstructed on this subject We are to find that a sin is inexcusable in proportioa as it is great I know in our time the tendency is to charge religious frauds upon good men. They sav, “Ob, wljat a class of frauds you have in the Church of God in this day,” and when an elder of a church or a deacon or a minister of the Gospel or a superintendent of a Sabbath-school turns out a defaulter what display heads there are in many of the newspapers—great primer type; five-line pica—" Another Saint Absconded,” “Clerical Scoundrelism,” “Religion at a Discount” “Shame on the Churches,” while there are a thousand scoundrels outside the church to where there is one inside the church, and tho misbehavior of those who never see the Inside of a church is so great it is enough to tempt a man to become a Christian to get out of their company. But in all circles, religious or- irreligious, the tendeneey is to excuse sin in proportion as it is mammoth. Even John Milton, in his “Paradise Lost,” while he condemns Satan, gives such a grand description of him you have hard work to suppress your admiration. Oh, this straining out of small sins like gnats, ana this gulping down great iniquities like camels. This subject does not give the picture of one or two persons, but is a gallery in which thousands ot people may see their likenesses. For instance, all those people who, while they would not rob their neighbor of a farthing, appropriate the money aud the treasure of the public. A man has a holMe to sell, and he tells his customer it is worth $20,000. Next day the assessor comes around and the owner says it is worth $15,000. The Government of the United States took off the tax from personal income, among other reasons because so few people would tell -the truth, and many a man with an income of hundreds of dollars a day made statements which seem to imply he was about to be handed oyer to the overseer of the poor. Careful to pay their passage from Liverpool to New York, yet smuggling in their Saratoga trunk ten silk dresses from Varis and a half dozen watches from Geneva, Switzerland, telling the Custom House officer on tho wharf, "There is nothing in that trunk but wearing apparel,” and putting ass gold piece in his hand to punctuate the statement Described in the text are all those who are particular never to break the law of grammar, and who want all their language an elegant specimen of syntax, straining out all the inaccuracies of speech with a fine sieve of literary criticism, while through their conversation go slander and innuendo and profanity and falsehood larger than a whole caravan of camels, when they might better fracture every law of tho language and shock their Intellectual tasto, ana better every verb seek in vain for its nominative, and every noun for its government, and every prepositioh lose its way in the sentence, and adjectives aud participles and pronouns get into a grand riot worthy of tho Fourth Ward on election day, than to commit a moral inaccuracy. Better swallow a thousand gnats than one camel. Such persons are also described in the text who are very much alarmed about the small faults of others and have no alarm about their own great transgressions. There are in every community ‘ and In every church watchdogs who feel ». ‘ ■ ... -ft. s ft’ ■-& • ft ..ft’ftft

called upon to keep their eyes on others and growl. They are full of suspicions | They wonder if that man is not dishonest, if that man if not unclean, if there is not something wrong about the other man. They are always the first I to hear ot anything wrong. Vultures are always the first to smell carrion". 1 They are self appointed detectives. 11 lay this down as a rule without any exception—that those people who have the most faults themselves are most merci- 1 less in their watching of others. From ! scalp of bead to sole of foot they are 101 l of jealousies and hypercriticisms. They spend their life In hunting for muskrats and mud turtles Instead of hunting for Rocky Mountain eagles; always for something mean instead of something grand. They look at their neighbors' imperfections through a microscope, and look at their own imperfections through a telescope upside down. Twenty faults of their own do not hurt them half so much as one fault of somebody else. Their neighbors’ imperfec tions are like gnats, and they strain them out; their own imperfections are like camels, and they swallow them. But lest any might think they escape tho scrutiny of the text, I have to tell you that we all come under the divine satire when we make the questions of time more prominent than the questions of eternity. Como now, let us all go into the confessional. Are not ail tempted to make the question, Where shall I live now? greater than the question, Where shall I live forever? How shall I get more dollars here? greater than the question, How iiball I lay up treasures in Heaveu? tho question, How shall I pay mv debts to man? greater than the question, How shall I meet my obligations to God? the question, how shall I gain the world? greater than tho question, What if I lose mv soul? the question, Why did God let sin come into the world? greater than the question, how shall I get it extirpated from my nature? the question, What shall I do with the twenty or forty or seventy years of my sublunar existence? greater that tho question, What shall Ido with the millions of cycles of my post-terrestrial existence? Time, how small it is! Eternity, how vast it is! The former more Insignificant in compaarison with the latter than a gnat is insignificant when compared with a camel. We dodge the text We said, “That doesn't mean me,’; and with a ruinous benevolence we are giving the whole sermon away. But let us all surrender to th*e charge. What an ado about things here. What poor preparation for a great eternity. As though a minnow were larger than a behemoth, as though a swallow took wider circuit than an albatross, as though a,nettle were taller than a Lebanon cedar. as though a gnat “were greater -than a camel, as though a' minute were longer than a century, as though time were higher, deeper, broader than eternity. So tho text which flashed with lightning of wit as Christ uttered IL is followed by the crashing thunders of awful catastjppbe to those who make the question of time greater than the questions of the future, the oncoming, overshadowing future. O Eternity! Eternity! Eternityl A Surprised Judge. *T want yon,” said a lawyer to a colored witness in an Arkansas court, “to pay strict attention to the question asked you.” “Yes, sab, I will. It’s a cold day, boss, when I doan’t pay attention.” “You have known the prisoner ever since he was a boy?” “Yas, sah, an’ when I says dat I knows a man, I knows him, ’case de weather is powerful chilly when—” . “Never mind the weather. You prevailed upon the prisoner not to steal the sheep, did you?” “Yas, sah. Snow’s mighty deep on de groun’, sah, an’ de win’ is poweiful cuttin’ when I doan’t advise a man—” “'Never mind your weather comments. You state upon oath that yon prevailed upon the prisoner not to steal the sheep ?” “Yas, sah. Dam’ es I didn’t.” “I’ll send you to jail, you impudent rascal, for using such language in the presence of this court I” exclaimed the Judge. “Send me ter jail fur what, Jedge? Fur doin’ what I was tole ter do ? De gen’leman dar axed me es I’d state de sack on oath, an’ I done so. I doan’ like ter cuss, ’cause I ’longs ter de church, bfft when de lawyers tells me ter use de oath I uses it, sah. Es ye’s got any udder p ints, Jedge, what yer wants ter ax me 'bout, I’se willin’ ter gin yer suggestions ter de best ob my edy<mtion, but I doan’ wanter go ter jail.” “You are old enough to know better than to misv&derstand the meaning of an oath. You have been living in a very ignorant community.” “Dat may be a sack, sah." “Why don’t you live in a more intelligent communi tv, and learn some-' thing?” “De man what Tse workin’ fur, sah, won’t pay me.” “Who did you work for?” “Why, boss, you’s de curiest man I eber seed. Doan’ yer know dat I’so been workin’fur yerself, haulin’ wood, fur de last year ?” “Take him to jail for contempt of court, Mr. Sheriff,” and, adding to himself, “the infernal negroes are all so much alike I can’t tell one from another,” he turned to the Clerk and gave instructions in regard to the next case. —Arkansaw Traveler. The First Telegraph. In May, 1844, it was announced in Congress that, on the opening of the Democratic National Convention at Baltimore, the new telegraph lines wcnld be ready for business. Tho Washington terminus was in one of the rooms of the Capitol. When the day announced arrived a few of the members of Congress assembled in that room, I among the number. After waiting a considerable time, amid expressions of hope or doubt from the friends or critics of the inventor, all talk was suddenly checked by the clicking of the machine. An impressive silence of several minutes followed. The machine worked! Finally the operator read with considerable solemnity the first message ever received: “ What hath God wrought?” All were awestricken for a moment It has always been a pleasant inemorv that I was present. Silence was followed by expressions of admiration. ’jChen a few gentlemen boldly denounced the message as a trick. Some warm words were spoken. But in the course of an hour the proceedings from the National Convention began to arrive. The unbelievers continued to doubt. No decision could be reached until the morning papers were received. It is needless to say that the telegraphic messages were fully substantiated. This wonderful scene continued each day during the session of tfib Convention at Baltimore, closing with the nomination of James K. Polk. This result was'so unexpected as to carrynonyiction. Then there were only forty miles of telegraph; today there are over 80Q,000 miles in operation. I saw the beginni^— years ago. ' .ft ft . s-sift * ■ ■

Points About a t.ood Horse. There are some points which are valuable in horses of every description. The head should be proportionately large and well set on, the lower jawbones should be sufficiently far apart to enable the head to form an angle with the neck, which gives it tree motion and a graceful carriage and prevents it bearing too heavily on the Land. The eye should be large, a little promlnenL and the eyelid fine and thin. The ear should bo small and erect and quick in motion. The lopear indicates dullness and stubbornness; when too far back there is a disposition to mischief.—Rider and Driver.
