Washington says : e. -Bev. Dr, Talniage preached from the following text ;--lealah xxviii, 27, "Ftn' the titches are not threshed with a threshing instru- repot, neither ie a, cart wheel turned 'about upon n 01101111101 bet the Ateltes are beaten out with a Staff end the cunnuin with a rod, Bread eovn is bruieed because he will riot ever bo threshing it." Misfortunes of various lcinds come upou various people, and in nn times the' great need, of Pinety-nine people out of a hundred is solace. Look, then, to this neglected alle- gory of tny text,. There are three kinds of esed men- tioned—fitches, cunt -min and corn, Of the last we all know. But it nleY be well to state that tho dtches and the =MUM were small seeds, like the caraway or the chickpea. When these grains or herbs wore to Ite.threshecl, they were tbrowp on the door, and the workmenwouldcome around with staff or rod or flail and beat them -until the seed would be sePanitted, but when 'the corn was to be theeehed that was thrown on the „floor, arid the men would fasten.oxen or horses to a cart with iron fleeted wheels: that cart would be drawn arbund the threshing floor, and so the work would be accomplished, Diderent Rinds of threshieg for dif- ferent products. The fitchee are not threshed with a threshing iustrument neither. Is a cart wheel turned nbout upon the cummin, but the dtches are beaten out with a staff and the coin - min with a rod. Bread corn is bruised because ho will tot ever be threshing it." My subjeet, in the dist place, teaches us that it is 110 compliment to us , IF WE ESCAPE GREAT TRIAL. The filches end. the cummin on one threshing door might look over to the corn on another threshing floor and say, "Look at that poor, miser- able, Bruised cern 3 We! have -only been a little pounded, hut that has teen almost destroyed." Well, the corn, if it had lips, would answer and say; "Do you know the reeson why .you have not been as much pounded os I have.? It is because you ore not of so much worth as I ara. If you were, you would be as severely run over." Yet there are men who suppose they are the Lord's faverites simply because their barns are full and their bank account is flush and there are no funerals in the house. It may be because they are inches and caLTIMill, while down at the 'end of the lane the peer may be Ai) Lord's corn. You are but little pounded because you are but little worth and she bruised and ground because she is the best part of the harvest. The heft of the threshing machine 18. according to the, value of the grain. If you have not been threshed in life, perhaps there is not much to thresh ! If you have not been much shaken of trouble, perhaps it is becatise there is going to he. a very small yield. When there are plenty of blackberries the gatherers go out with lai•ge bas- kets. but when the drought has al- most consumecl the fruit, then a quart measuie will do rts well. It took the yenoinous snake on Paul's hand. and the pounding of him with stones until he' was taken op for dead, and the lamming against him of prison gates, and the Epheeian vociferation, and the ankles skinned by the painful stocks, and the found- ering of the JUexanclrian corn ship, and the beheading stecike of the Ro- man sheriff to bring Paul to his pro- -per development.- It was not beams° Robert Moffat, and Lady Rachel Russell and Frederick Oberlin. were worse than other people that they bed to suder. It was because they were better, and God wanted to inako them best. By the carefulness of the threshing you may always conclude THE 'VALUE OF THE GRAIN. Next, my text teaches us that God Proportions our trials to what we can bear—the staff for the aches, the rod for the cummin, the iron wheel for the corn. Sometimes Peo- ple in greet trouble say, -Oh, I can't, bear it I" But you did bear it. God would not have sent it upon you if be 11011 not known that you' could bear it. You trembled and you swooned, but you got through. God will nottake from your ''eyes ,0110 tear, too many nor ono sigh too' deep nor from your temples -ono throb too sharp. The perplexitlae of your earthly business have not in them one tangle too in- telt:etc. fou sometimes feel as if eur world were full of bludgeons autphazar67 011, no ;. they are threshing instrements that God just suits to your case, There is not a dollar of bad- debts 00 yoor ledger or a , dieappointment about goods, that yon expected to go up, but thot have gone dowe, or a ewilidle of ;your business partner, Or it trick 00 the parb o± thosea who re in the same kind of merchandise that you are, bet God intended to overrule t for your immortal help. "011,", you say, "there. iS no need talking that .i ed and outraged." Neither does the s way me, I don't like to be cheat- eern like the- corn thresher, but after it• has been threshed aial winnowed it has Et great deal bettor opinioh of fl Winnowing mills and coen threshers. 1 Again, my • subject teaches that d God keeps trial on us mail we let go. 0110 farmer shouts "'Whoa I" t his horees es soon an the grain is 1 dropped from the stalk.
