THE HURON EXPOSITOR,
A THRESHING MACHINE.
NEEDED FOR THE PROPER DEVELOP-
MENT OF THE HUMAN SOUL.
As the. Ancients tried Varioue kinds of
Threshers for Different Kinds of Grain
pifferent Men Need Various Sharp
Experiences.
BROOKLYN, June 11.—Rev. Dr, Tal-
mage Chose at, the subject of his sermon
to -day: "The Threshing Machine," the
text being from Isa. 28, 27-28, "For the
'Itches: are not threshed with -a threshing
instrument, neither is a cart wheel turn-
ed-. about upon the cammin; but the
&char are beaten out with a staff, and
the cummin with a rod. Bread corn is
bruised; because he will not ever be
threshing it."
There are three kinds of seed mention-
ed—fitches, cummin and corn. Of the
last we know. But it may be well to
state that the fitehes and the cummin
were small seeds like the caraway or the
chickpea. When these grains or herbs
were to be threshed they were thrown
on the floor, and the -workmen would
come around with staff, or rod, or flail,
and beat them until the seed would be
separated; but when the corn was to be
threshed that was thrown on the floor,
and the men woufd fasten horses or oxen
to a cart with iron -dented wheels; that
. cart would be drawn around the thresh-
ing floor, and so the work would be ac-
complished. Different kinds of threshing
for different products. "The fitches are
not threshed with a threshing instrument,
neither is a cart wheel turned upon the
cummin..but the fitches are beaten out
with a st:aff; and the cummin with a rod.
Bread corn is bruised, because he will not
ever be threshing it."
The great thought that the text presses
upon our souls is that we all go through
some kind of threshing process. The
fact that you may be devoting your life
to honorable and noble purposes will
not win you any escape. Wilberforce,
the Christian emancipator, was in his
day derisively called "Doctor Cantwell,"
Thomas Babington Macaulay, the advo-
cate of all that was good long before he
became the most conspicuous historian
- of his day, was caricatured in one of the
.quarterly reviews as "Babbletongue Mac-
aulay." Norman McLeod, the great
friend of the Scotch poor, was indus-
triously maligned in all quarters, al-
though on the day when he was carried
out to his burial a workman stood and
looked at the funeral procession, and
said, "If he had done nothing for any-
body more than he has done for me, he
should shine as -the stars forever and
ever." All the small wits of London
had their fling at Jolm Wesley, the
father of Methodism.
If such men could not escape the ma-
ligning of the world, neither can you ex-
pect toget rid of the sharp, keen stroke
of the tribulam. All who will live god-
ly in Christ Jesus inust suffer persecu-
tion. Besides that, there are the sick-
nesses:: and the bankruptcies, and the
irritations, and the disappointments
which are ever putting a cup of aloes to
your lip. . Those wrinkles on your face
are heiroglyphics, which, if deciphered,
would make out a thrilling story of
trouble. The footstep of the rabbit is
seenahe next morning on the snow and
on the white hairs of the aged are the
foot4eps showing where swift trouble
alighted.
E% en amid the joys and hilarities of
life, !trouble will sometimes break in.
As when the people were assembled in
the Charlestown theatre, during the rev-
olutionary war, and while they were
witnessing a farce, and the audience was
in great gratulation, the guns of an ad-
vancing army were heard, and the audi-
ence broke up in wild panic and rrin for
their lives, so oftentimes while you are
seated amid the joys and festivities of
this world you hear the cannonade of
some great disaster. All the fitches,and
the cummin, and the corn must come
down on the threshing floor and be
pounded.
My subject, in the first place, teaches -
us that it is no compliment to us flf we
escape great trial. The fitches and the
.curnmin on the threshing floor inight
look over to the corn on another thresh-
ing floor and say: "Look at that poor,
miserable, bruised corn. We have only
been a little pounded, but thathas been
ahnost destroyed." Well, the corn, if it
had lips, would answer and say: "Do
you know the reason you have not been
as much pounded as I have? It is be-
cause you are not of so much worth as I
am; if you were you would be as severely
run over." Yet there are men who sup-
pose they are the Lord's favorites sim-
ply because their barnsare full, and
their bank account is flush, and there
are no funerals in the house. It may
be because they are fitches and cummin;
while down at the end of the lane the
or widow may be the Lord's corn.
ou are but little pounded because you
are but little mirth, and she bruised and
ground because she is the best part of
the harvest.
The heft of the threshing machine is
according to the value of the grain. If
you have not been much threshed in
life, perhaps there is not much to thresh!
If you have not been much shaken of
trouble, perhaps it is because there is
going to be a very small yield. When
there are plenty of blackberries the
gatherers go out with large baskets; but
when the drought has almost consumed
the fruit, then a quart measure will do
as well, It took the venomous snake on
Paul's hand and the pounding, of him.
with stones until he was taken up for
dead, and the jamming against him of
prison gates, and the Epliesian vocifera-
tion,and the skinned ankles of the
painful stocks, and the foundering of
the Alexandrian corn ship, and the be-
heading stroke of the Roman sheriff to
bring Paul to his proper develoPinent.
It was not because Robert Moffat, and
Lady Rachel Russel, and Frederick
Oberlin were worse than other people
that they had to suffer; it was because
they were -better, and God wanted to
make 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 trialto syliat, we can
bear. The staff for the fitches. The rod
for the commit]. The iron wheel for the
corn. Sometimes people in great trouble
say: "Oh, J can't bear it!" But you
did bear it. God would not have sent it
upon you if he did not know that you
could bear it, Y'ou trembled aud you
swooned: but you got through. God.
will not take from yotir eyes one tear too
many, nor from your lungs one sigh too
deli. nor from your temples one throb
toe share. The perplexities of your
eat thly business have. not in them one
411. too intricate.
You semetimes "feel as if our weal
kv full of bludgeons flying haphazard.
Oo, no; they are threshing instrumeuts
that God just suits to your c Ise. Ther 3
is not a dollar of bad tlehts on your led-
ger, or a di appointment about goods
that you expected to go up but that have
gone down, or a swindle of your busi-
ness partner, or a trick on the part of
those who are in the same kind of busi-
ness . that you; are. but God in-
tended fa tyt- I-. f im..
mortal neT. "Oh," you saY, 'Imre is
like to be cheated and outraged."
Neither does .the corn like the corn -
thresher; but fifteen has been threshed
and winnowed Wham a great deal better
tohnre8iniohneriotf winnowing mills and corn-
.
"Well," you say, "if I could Choose
my Own trouble I would be willing to be
troubled." Oh, my brother, then it
would not be trouble. You would choose
something that would not hurt, and un -
Jess it hurts it does not get sanctified.
Your trial, perhaps, may be children.
'You are fond of children. You say:
"Why does God send children to that
other household where they are unwel-
cotne, and are beaten and banged about,
when I would have taken them in the
arms of my . affections?" You say :
"Any other trial but this." -Your trial,
perhaps, may be a disfigured counte-
nance, or . a face that is easily
caricatured, and ,3sou say: "Oh, I
could endure anything if only I was
good-looking." And your trial, per-
haps, is a violent temper, and
you have to drive it like six
unbroken horses amid the gunpowder
'explosions of a great. holiday,- and ever
and anon it runs away with you. Your
trial is the asthma. You say: "Oh, if
it were rheumatism, or neuralgia, or
erysipelas, but it i* this asthma, and it
is such an exhausting thing to breathe."
Your trouble is a husband, short, sharp,
snappy, and cross about the house, and
raising a small riot because a button -is
off! How could .you know the button is
oft? Your trial is a wife ever in contest
with the servants, and she is sloven.
Though she was very careful about her
appearance in your presence once, now
she is careless because she said her for-
tune was made. Your trial is a hard
school lesson you cannot learn, and:you
have bitten your finger -nails until they
are a sight to behold.'
Oh, my hearer, are you not ashamed
to be complaining all this time against
Who:manages the affairs of this
Gwoodrlfl, anyhow? Is it an infinite Modoc?
or a Sitting Bull savage? or an omnipo-
tent Nana Sahib? No ; it is the most
merciful and glorious and wise Being in
all the universe. You cannot teach
Omnipotence anything. You have fret-
ted and worried almost enough. Do you
not think so? Some of you are making
yonraelves ridiculous in the sight of the
Angets. Here is a naval architect, and
he draws out the plan of a ship of many
thousand tons. Many workmen are en-
gaged on it for a long while. The ship
is done, andsotue day, with the flags up
and the air gorgeous with bunting, that
vessel is launched for Southampton. At
that titne a lad six years of age comes
running down the dock with a toy -boat
which he has made with his own jack-
knife; and he says: "Here, my boat
is better than yours. Just look
at this jib -boom and these weather
cross jack -braces;" and lie drops his little
boat beside the great ship, and there is a
roar of laughter on the docks. Ah, my
friends, that great ship is your life as
God planned it—vast, million•tonned,
ocean -destined, eternity -bound. That
little boat is your life as you are trying
to hew it out, and fashion it, and launch
it. Ah, do not try to be a rival of the
great Jehovah. God is always right,
and in nine cases out of ten you are
wrong. He sends just the hardships,
just the bankruptcies, just the cross that
is best for you to have. Ile knows what
kind of grain your are, and he sends the
right -kind of threshing machine. It
will -be a rod, or staff, or iron wheel, just
according as you are fitches, or cunamin,
or corn.
Again: My subject teaches us that God
keeps trial on us until we let go. The
farmer shouts "whoa!" to his horses as
soon as the grain has dropped from the
stock. The farmer comes with his fork
and tosses up the straw, and he sees that
the straw has let go the grain and the
grain is thoroughly threshed. So God.
Sniffing rod and turning wheel both
cease as soon as we let go. We holt]. on
to this world with its pleasures, and
ricltes, and emoluments, and our
knuckles are so firmly set that it seetns
as if we could hold on forever. God
comes along with some threshing trouble
and beats us loose. We started under
the delusion that this was a great world.
We learned out of our geography that it.
was so many thousand.miles in diameter,
and so many thousand miles in circum-
ference, and we said: "0 my, what a
world !" Troubles come in after life,
and this trouble sliced off one part of
the world, and that trouble sliced off
another part of the world, and it has got
to be a smaller world, and, in some of
your estimation's, a very insignificent
world; and it is depreciating all the time
as a spiritual property. Ten per cent. off
fifty per cent. off, and there are those
here who would not give ten cents for
• this world—for the entire world—as a
soul -possession.
We thought that friendship was a
grand thing. In school we used. to write
compositions about friendship, and per-
haps we made our graduating speech
once on commencement day on friend-
ship. Oh! it was a charmed thing; but
does,it mean as much to you as it used
to ? You have gone on in life, and one
friend has betrayed you, and another
friend has inisinterpreted you, and an-
other friend has neglected you, and
friendship comes now sometimes to
gmreinadn 1 to you merely mother axe to
So with money.' We thought if a man
had a competency he was safe from all
the future; but we have learned that a
mortgage may be defeated by an un-
known previous incumbrance; that sign-
ing your name on the back of a note
may be your business death -warrant;
that a new tariff may change the cur-
rent of trade; that a man may be rich
to -day and poor to -morrow. And God,
by all these misfortunes, is trying to
loosen our grip; but still we hold on.
G-od smites us with a staff; but we hold
on. And he strikes us with a rod; but
we hold ou. And he sends over us the
iron wheel of misfortune; but we hold
on.
Oh 1 my hearers, is there not enough
salve in this text to make a plaster large
enough to heal all your wounds? When
a child is hurt, the mother is very apt to
say to it: "Now, it will soon feel better."
and that is what God says when Re un -
bosoms all the trouble in the hush of this
great promise: "Weeping may endnre
for a night, but joy cometh in the morn-
ing." You may leave your pocket hand-
kerchief sopping wet with tears Oa your
death pillows, but you will go up abso-
lutely sorrowless, They will wear black;
you will wear white. Cypresses for
them; pairs for you.

The Chlnantan in the Household. -
As servants the Chin lie are very cap-
able in many respects. and very unde-
sirable in °tilers. rrii y never gossip
about the affairs of a f&u4iily that employs
them. They learn.wha ever it is desired
they should know, acquiring skill .with
apparent ease by means of their wonder-
ful power of ilnitation. They are per-
fectly willing to do every sort of house-
hold wora, and the aveiage servant will
1
act as cook, c lambent aid, launderer,
and waiter all at once for one salary.
They cannot bear to be Odered about oy
%%afflict]. They will take. any amount of
scolding or fault-finding fro.n a mai!,
and none from a womaii. In two cases
of winch I heard the alliinese servants
'chased tneir iniktreaSes 1 out of their
houses with axes. A Very vexatious
thing is that they neverk give warning
when they al e going to leave a place.
They suddenly • annoence "Me want to
go," and the utmos questiontng
is, rase likely to eeic't any more
tbart 'Me wtolt to g0 me tired."
