Tho Lessons Drawn From Trivial Irritations. -Washington, Oct. S.—This sermor, by Dr, Talmage deals with a sub- ject which appedds to all classes and conditions of -tam His text is Deu- teronomy vii, 20, .''The Lord thy, God will pend the hornet.". Ti. seems as if the insectile world were determcned to extirpate the hu- man .race. It bombards the. grain; fields and the orchards and the vin yards. The Colorado beetle, the. Ne- braska grasshopper,. the No If Jersey, locust, the an iversal potato beetle, seem to carry oft the st,,,rk which was begt a` ages ago when the . sect's buzzed out of Noah's at k as the door was opened. • 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- tle run bellowing • under the cut of its laticet. In boyhood we used to stand cautiously' looking at the globular nest,Jhung 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 , ,warms. It has captains over hun- dreds, and 20 of them alighting en one man will produce certain death. The Persians attempted to conquer. a 'Christian city, but the elephants and • the beasts on whale:. the Per- sians rode were assaulted by the hor- !let, sct* that the whole army was broken up, and the besieged city was. reacued. This burning and noxious issect :stung out •the Hittites and the Cenaanites from their country. What gleaming- sword and chariot of *or could not accomplish was done by t he puncture • of an insect. "The. Lord sent the hornet." hecute chivalric, and we assault hy great behemoths of trouble we My friends, when we are assaulttieedd / hem. We get, on the high met steed of our courage, and we make a cavalry charge at them, and if G•od Le with us we come out stronger and better than when we went in. But alas for these insectile .aimoy- eeceS of life, these foes too small to hoot, these things without any V i l'Clupois weight, the gnats and the midges and the flies and the wasps and the hornets! In other words, it is the small stinging an- noyances of our life whicb drive us. out. and use us up. In the best; con- dila:died life for some grand and -glorious purpose Clod has sent the hornet. Again, the small insect annoyances may come to. us in the shape of friends and - acquaintanceswho are al we ys- saying disagreeable things. There are some people you cannot be ith for half an hour but you feel elieered and comforted. Then there) are other people you eannot be with for five minutes before you feel mis- ereble. They do not mean to dis- turb you, but they sting you to the , bone. They gather up all the yarn which the gossips spin and reteAl it. They gather. up all the -adverse critie cisnis about your person, about your business, about your home, about your church, and they Make your -ear the funnel into which they pour it. Theylaugh heartily. when . they tell you, as though it were a good joke,. and you laugh, too—outside.. These people are brought to our at- tention in; the Bible, in the book of Ruth. Naomi went forth beautiful and with the finest worldly pros - teats ;Into another land, but after awhile she came back widowed and sick and poor. What did her friends clo„ when she came to the city? They all went out, and instead of giving her common sense and consolation, what did they do? Read the book of Ruth and find out. They threw up their hands and said, "Is this „Naomi?" as m-uch as to say, "How aulful had you look!" When I enter- ed the ministry, I looked very pale for 'years, and every year, for four or five yearn, many titoes a Year 1 was asked if I had not consumption, and, passing through the .room, I would_ sometimes hear people sigh and say, "A -eh, not long for this world!" I resolved in those times .hat I never in any conversation vould say anything depressing, and )y the help of God I have kept the esohition.. These people of whom peak reap and bind • in th- great ta ryes t field of discouragemeret. ;nine day you greet them with .a tilarious "Good morning'," and they onto Inkezing at you with some de- 'teasing/1 information. "The Lard ent the hornet." It is astonishing how some 'people 'refer to Write and to say disagree- thle things. That was the case when lenry M, Stanley - returned after his nagniticent, exploit of finding David ,ivingstone. When , Mr. Stanley toot( before the savants of Europe net many 01 the small critics of the lay, under the pretense of getting e o gra phical information, put to 1111 insolent queetione, he folded his rifts and refused to answer. At the ery time when you would suppose 11 decent men would have applaud - the heroism of the man there a=re these to hiss. "The Lord sent he hornet." And when afterwards hat I nan sat down on the western oast of Africa, sick and worn out, lilt perhaps the grandest achieve - tent of the age in the way of geo- raphical diseovery, there were small rities all over the world to buzz and trzh and caricature and deride him, nd when after awhile he got the .ondon papers,' as he epened them, ut flew the hornet. Wham 1.aee that here are so niany people in the 'arid who like to say disagreeable hinge and write disagreeable things, °circle almost in my weaker mo - tents to believe what a man said to e in Philadelphia one Monday orntng. 1 went to get the horse at 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." The small insect annoyances of life sometimes come in the shape of local physical trouble whioh does not amotant to a positive prostration, but which bothers you when you want, to feat 1 he lien, Pernaps rc, 1 a. -Sick headache which has been th .plague of your life, and you appoin some occrasion of mirth or socialit . or usefulness, and when the - aloe strikes the hour you cannot mak your , appearance. Perhaps th trouble is between the ear an4 th forehead in the shape of a neuralgi twinge. Nobody can see it or sym pathize with it, but just at th time when you Svant your intellec clearest and your disposition brigh est you feet a Sharp, keen, discon certing thrust. "The _Lord sent th horhet." Perhaps these small losect annoy /knees Will come .in the -shape of . domestic irritation. The parlor an the kitchen' do .not alSsatys harmon ize. To get, good service and t keep it is one of the great question of the country. Sometimes it ma be the arrogance and inconsiderate - noes of employers; but, whateve be the fact, we all admit there ar these . insect annoyances wingin their way out from the culinary de- partment. If the gracte of Godb not in the heart ot the housekeeper -she cannot maintain her equilibrium These 'small insect disturbance' may also come, in the shape of busi ness irritation. There are men her who Went throtin the 24th of ,Sep tember.; 1869, and i the panics o 1873 and 1893 without losiing:tdael ii -r u . balance who are every d s aliorsec by little annoyances—a clerk's il manners, or a blot of Ink on a, bit of lading, or the extravagance of a partner who overdraws hi$ ac count, or the upderselling by a busi ness rival, or the whispering - o store confidences in the street, or the making of some little -bad _-= dub whih was against, your judgment but you wan ted to please somebody else. .. I have noticed in the history o some of my congregation that their aamoyances are multiplying and that they have a hundred where they used to have ten. The naturalist tells us that a wasp scimetimes has a family of 20,000 -wasps, and it does seem as- if every annoyance of your life brooded a million. By the help of God, to -day I want to. show you the other side. Th -e hornet is of no use? Oh, yes! The mat ralist tells us they are very important in the world's economy. They kil spi- ders, and they clear the atmosphere. And I really believe Clod send e the annoyances of our life upon us to kill the spiders of thp soul an 1 to clear the atmosphere of our s tes, These annoyainces are Sent on us, I- think, to ;wake 'us up from our iethar y. There is nothing that makes a man so lively as a nest of "yelloW jackets," aad 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 hor- net, or .we may think that. the devil sends the hornet. I _want . to cor- rect your opinion. "The Lord sent the. hornet." Then ' I think these annoyances come on us to cultivate our • pa- tience. In the gymnasium you find upright parallel bars with holes over each other for pegs to be pup. In. Then the gymnast takes a, Ng in each hand, and he begins to climb, One inch at a time or twe -inches, and getting his strength cultivated, reaches atter a while the ceiling. And it. seems to me that these an- noyances in life are a noral _ gym- nasium, each worriment a peg with which we are to • . climb higher and higher in Christian attainment. We all love to see patience, but it can- not, be cultivated in fair :weather, Pallet -lee is a; child, of the storm. If you had everything desirable and there was nothing , -- more to get, what vfould you want with patience? The. only time to cultivate it is when you are lied about and sick and half dead. Nothiag but the furnace will ever burn out. of us the clinker and the slag. 1 have formed this theory in regard to small annoyances and vex- ations. It takesjust so I much trouble to fit us for usefulne a. and for hea 'en. The only nuesti .n is whethez we shall take it in tile bulk or pulverized and granulated. Hero is one nan who takes it in ; bulk. Ms back is broken or his eyesight put out or some other awful calam- ity befalls him, while the vast, ma -1 jority .) people take the thing piece- ipeal, hicla way would you rather have 1 ? Of course, in piecemeal. Better ,ave five aching teeth . than one broken jaw; bettor ten flee blist- ers that' an amputation, better 20 squalls than one cyclone. There may bo a difference of opinion as, td allo- pathy and homeopathy, hut in this matter of trouble I like homeepath- ic doses, small pellets of antic:wane° rather than some knockdown dose of calamity, Instead of the thunder- bolt give us the -hornet. If yon have. a. bank, you 'would a great deal ra- ther that 50 men would coma in with checks less' than $100 than to have two depositors come in the same day, each wanting his ' $10,- 000. In this latter case you Clough and look down to the floor 'arid 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. "Thou wilt keop hint in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee," How many touches did Mr.. Church give to his picture of "Coto- paxi". or his "Heart of the Andes" I suppose about 50,000 touches: I hear the canvas saying; "Whh- de you keep me trembling with that pencil so long? Why eloalt yo4 pet , It an in one dash?" "No/' says Mr. Church; "I -know how ,to make a painting, it will take 50,000 of these touches." And I want you, my friend, to understand that it is these ten thousand annoy nem p the at O and fascinated. Well, Gpd has yo r ui O soul under pa cese of developmen t and it is the little annoyances an Y vexations of ife that are &Iselin k out your inn�rtal nature. It is e click, "Click, lick!

The Only way to get prepared IorI the great' troubles of life is to co quer. these small. troubles. What lvould you say of a soldier who refus d to. load his gun or to go into th con- rict because it was only a ski taish, saying; "I am not going to e pend my ammunition en a. skirmish. Wait until there is a general engag metnt and then you will see how co rage- ous I am and what battling will lo?" Tho general would say t such .I. mita, "If you are not faithful In a skir mish , you would be nothing in a genere I engagement." And I h ve to tell you, 0 Christian men, if you cannot apply the principles of Christ's_ religion on a small scal you will never be able to apply the on a larger scale. If I had my way with you, I would have you p esess all possible worldly prosperit I would have you each one a g rden, a river flowing through it, gera- niums and shrubs on the side and the grass and flowers ae bea tiful as though the rainbow had fal en. I would .have you a house, a spl ndid mansion, and the beds should b eov- erect with upholstery dipped i the setting sun. I would have ever hall In your house set with statue aid statuettes, and then I would have the four quarters of the globe pour in all their luxuries on your able, and you should have forks of ilver and knives of gold, inlaid wit dia- monds anal amethysts. I "Not each one of us?" you say. Yes, each one of you. "No to your enemies?" Yes. The onl dif- ference I would make with them would be that I would put a little extra gilt on their walls and.a Jittle extra embroidery on their sli per s . "But," you say, "Why does not God give us all these things?" Ah! I bethink to ,inyself. He -is wiser. It would make fools and sluggards of us if we had our way. No than pats his bast picture in the portic : or vestibule of his house. God eant this world to be only the vestibule of heaven, that great gallery o the universe toward which we ar as- piring. We must not have it too= good in this world,' or we ould want no heaven. Polycarp was cohdernned t be burned to death. The stake was planted. He was fastened to it. The fagots were placed around him, the fires kindled, but history tel sus that the flames bent outward like the canvas of a ship in a tout breeze, so that the flames, inste d of destroying Polycarp, were onl' wall betyveen him and his one,iese: They had actually to destroy him with the poinard. The flames ould not touch him. Well, my hetes. r, I want you to understand that y God's grace the flames of= trial, In- stead of consuming your soul, are only going to be a wall of de enbe and a canopy of blessing. Go is going to fulfill to you the bleszings and the promises, as he did to ul3r- carp.

Boys Must Fix Their Eyes on a Goal and IGarneatly strive lo Attain It. The principal of a boys' school was speaking to the pupils about their future life. Ile asked: "How many *1 you have decided what you will be when you become men?" There was no reply. He then ask- ed that an boy there whe had se- lected his -future Occupation should kold up his hand. Out of the hun- dred, ten bbys did so. Ninety had no idea what they were going to do in this world, for thel world orfor, themselves. He then -asked those who had given the matter Rome thought, but were yet undecided, to raise the hand. Fifteen 'hands went up. Seventy-five boys out of the hundred, between the ages of 14 and 20, had never thought about their future occupation. Considering that, how much could they expect to ex- cel in anything or te‘ wake a mark In the world? Yet, doubtless, some of them, when men, will complain that wealth and honors are uneven- ly divided in this world. The way to have honor, to be- come anybody of importance, to be a power among men, is not to envy anoth r r b t t th ekes upon that goat and wora fOr it., choosing early the path that leads tc> that emin en ca. I f !.A. young man desired t he a clergyman, He was the onl !child of a widow, who could not, ditcate him. A wealthy gentleman, bcIcona nig interested in him, offered to de- fray the expenses of his ecu. cation, He gladly accepted, 'metier al; for ebilege, and had just entered, When the gentleman failed, losin Overy dollar. The young man, of colarse, had to Pave college, but he id; not give up his determination t Inter the ministry. He taught mu, ic ;that year, saved his money, and "eni.ered - c011ege.
