Dr. Talmage Proaehes a Powerful Soresson Against the Tendency to Formal- ism in Religion -Society Scorehed for its Ilynocritical Pretence -Another Curious Text. BROOKLYN, N.Y., March 27, 1892, -The tendency to formalism in religion and to hypocriticel pretence in aociety received a severe castigation from the pulpit of the Brooklyn Tabernacle this morning. Dr. Talmage made a vigorous onslaught upon it, basing his remarks on, the text. Matt. 23:24 :-"Ye blind guides, who strain at a gnat and. swallow a camel.'/ A proverb is compact wisdom., know- ledge in chunks, a library in a sentence, the electricity of many clouds discharged in one bolt, a river put through a mill race. When Christ quotes the proverb of the text, he means to set forth the ludicrous behavior to those who make a great blust- er about small sins and have no appreciation of great ones. In my text a small insect and a large quadruped are brought into comparison -a gnat and a ca.mel. You have in museum or on the desert seen the latter, a great awkward, sprawling creature, with back two stories high, and stomach hav- ing a collection of reserviors for desert travel, an animal forbidden to the Jews as tood, and in many literetures entitled "the ship of the desert," The gnat spoken of in the text is in the grub form. It is born in pool or pond, after a few weeks become a chrysalis, and then after a few days becomes the gnat as we re- cognize 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 incon- sistencies. 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 grandparent of a gnat. He 'goes and gets a sieve or strainer. He takes the water and pours it through the sieve in the broad light. He says, "I would rather do any- thing almost than drink this water until this larva be extirpated." 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 care - fu removes the insect and drinks the w ter in pIazidity. 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 indigestion. He puts the lower jaw under the camel'. forefoot, and his upper jaw over the hump ot the camel's back, and gives one swallow and the drome- dary disappears forever. He strained out a gnat, he swallowed a camel. While Christ's audience were yet smiling at the appositeness and wit of his illustra- tion -for smile they did in church, unless they were too stupid to understand the hyperbole -Christ practically said to them, "That is you." Punctilious about small things; reckless about affairs of great mag- nitude. 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 ad 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 withered under the red-hot words as he said: "Ye fools, ye whited sepulchres, ye blind guides which strain out a gnat and swallow a camel." There are in our day a great many gnats strained out and a great many camels swal- lowed, and it is the object of this sermon to sketch a few persons who are extensively engaged ia that business. _First, I remark, that all those ministers of the Goapel are photographed in the text who are very scrupulous about the con- ventionalities of religion, but pat no parti- cular stress upon matters of vast import- ance. Church services ought to be grave and solemn. There is no room for frivolity in religioue convocation. But there are illustrations, and there are hyperboles like that of Christ in the text that will irradiate with smiles any intelligent auditory, There .are men like those blind guides of the text who advocate only those things in religious service which draw the corners of the mouth do ern, and denounce all those things which have a tendency to draw the cor- ners of thelkinouth up, and these men will go to installations and to presbyteries and to conferences and. to associations, their pockets fall of fine sieves to strain eat the gnats, while in their own churches at herne every Sunday there are fifty people sound asleep. They make their churches a, great dormitory, and their somniferous sermons are a cradle, and the drav,ded out hymns a lullaby, while acme wakeful soul in a pew with her fau keeps the flies off unconscious persons approxi- mate. Now, I say it is worse to sleep in church than to smile in church, for the lat- ter implies at least attention, while the former impliee the indifference of the hear- ers and the stupidity of the speaker. In old. age, or from physical infirmity, or from long watchine with the sick, drowsiness will sometimes over -power one; but when a minister of the Goepel looks off upon an itudienee aced iinds healthy and intelligent people strueeling with drowsiness, it is time for -him to give out the doxology or pro- nounce the benediction. The great fault of churcit services to -day is not too much 'vivacity, bat teo mach somnolence. The one i an irritating gnat that may be easily straineo out ; the other ie a great, sprawling and sleepy-eyed camel of the dry desert. In all Selibeth schools, in all our iiilde classes, in all our pulpits ave, need to brighten up one religious messages with Buell, Christ -like vivacity as we tine in our text. I take down from my library the biog- raphies of ministers and writers of past ages, inspired and uninspired, who have done the most to bring souls to Jesus Christ, and I find that without e single ex- ception they consecrated &heir wit and their humor to Christ. Elijah used it when he advised the Baalites, as they could not make their god reepond, telling them to call louder, as their god might be Hound asleep or gone hunting. Job used it when he said to his self -conceited eionforiete "Wisdom will die with you." Christ, not only used it in the text, but when he ironi- cally complimented the putrid Pharisees, saying, 'Ile whole need nota physician," and when by one word he described the cunning of Herod. saving. "Go ve. and tell Mat lox." Matthew Henry's Comment- aries from the first page to the last corus- cated with humor as summer clouds with heat lightning. John Bunyan's 'writings are as full of hurnoreas they are of saving truth, and there is not an aged man here who has ever read Pilgrim's Progress who does not remember that while reading it he smiled as often as he wept. Chrysostom, George Herbert, Robert South, James Wes- ley, George Whitefield, Jeremy Taylor, Rowland Hill, Nettleton, George G. Finney, and all the men of the past who greatly ad- vanced the kingdom of God consecrated their wit and their humor to the cause of Christ. So it has been in all the ages, and I say to these young theological students, who cluster in these services Sabbath by Sabbath, sharpen your wits as keen as scimitars, and then take them into this holy war. Oh, how particular a great many people are about the infinitesimals, while they are quite reckless about the magnitudes. What did Chriat isay? Did he not excoriate the people n 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 is a were& thing to have an unclean heart. How many people there are in our time who are very an<dous 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 in the line of apostolic succession, ndt caring so much whether he comes from Apostle Paul or Apostle Judas. They have a way of 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 enemy a merchant who, while he is so careful that he would not take a yard of cloth or a spool of cotton from the counter without paying for it, and who if a bank cashier would make a mistake and send in a roll of bills five dollars too much would dispatch a messenger in hot haste to return the surplus, yet who will go into a stock com- pany, in whieb, after a while, he gets con- trol of the stock, and then, waters the stock and makes $100,000 appear like $200,000. He only stole $100,000 by the operation. Many of the men of fortune made their money 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 that the poor fellow cannot By that it was thirst for knowledge that led him to the 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 miser- able wretch." And then the old stock garnbler, with a voice they can hear three blocks, will cry out, "Police, police 1" The same man, the evening of the day in which he watered the stock, will kneel with his family in prayer and thank God for the prosperity of the day, then kiss his child- ren 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 in- aectile in size, but palaces for crimes dro- medarian. No mercy for sins animalcule in proportion, but great leniency tor mastiglon iniquity. This subject does not give the picture of one or two persons, but is a gallery in which thousands of people may see their likenesses. For instance, all those people who, while they would not rob their neighbor of a farthing, appropriate the money and the treasure of the public. A man has a house 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 govern- ment of the United States* took off the tax from personal income among other rea- sons because so tew people would tell the truth, and many.. man with an income of hundreds of dollars a day made statements which seemed to imply he was about to be handed over to the overseer of the poor. Careful to pay their passage from Liver- pool -to New York, yet smuggling in their Saratoga trunk ten silk dresses from Paris and a half-dozen watches from Geneva, Switzerland, telling the custom house officer on the wharf, "There is nothing in that trunk but wearing apparel," and putting a five dollar gold piece in his hand to punctu- ate 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 inuendo and profanity and falsehood larger than a whole caravan of camels, when they might better fracture every law of the language and shock their intellectual taste, and better let every verb seek in vain for its nominative, and every noun for its government, and g very preposition lose its way in the sentence, and adjectives and participles and pronouns get into a greed riot worthy of the Fourth Ward on election day, than to conunit a moral inaccuracy. Better to swallow a thousand gnats than ne eztniel. 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, watch dogs, who feel called upon eo keep their eyes on others and growl. They are fall of suspicions. They wonder if that man is not dishonest, if that Man is not unclean, if there is not something wrong about the other man. They are al ways the first to hear of anything wrong. Vultures are always the first to smell car- rion. They are self-appointed detectives. I lay this down as e rule, without any ex: ception, that those people who have the most faults themselves are most merciless in their watching of others. From scalp of head to sole of foot they are full of jealousies and hypercriticisms. They spend their life ie hunting for musk rats and mud Wades insiead 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 up- side down. Twenty faults of their own do net hurt, them half so much as ono 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. Btit lest anv might think thev moms the 4 THE HUR0N EXPOSITOR scrutiny ot the text, I have to tell you that we • all come under the divine satire when we make questions of time more prominent than the questions of eternity. Come, now, let us go into the confessional. Are not all 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 shall I lay up treasnres in Heaven? the question, How shall 1 pay my debt to man? greater than the question, How shall I meet my obligations to God? the ques- tion, How shall I gain the world? greater than the question, What if I lose my soul? the question, Why did God let sin come into the world ? greater than the question, How shall I get it ex- tirpated from my nature? the question' Mat shall I do with the twenty or forty or seventy years of my sublunar existence greater than the question, What shall I do 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 comparison with the latter than a gnat is insignificant when com- pared with a camel. We dodged the text. We said, "That doesn't mean me, and that doesn't mean me," and with a ruinous benevolence we are giving the whole sermon away. • News Notes. -Sir Andrew Agnew, who was born in 1818 and fought in the Canadian rebellion of 1838, died in London on Saturday. -.-Itis estimated that six hundred and fifty miles of railway will be built in Mani- toba and the Territories daring the coming summer. -Thirty marriages, one hundred and three births, and sixty•four deaths were registered at the.

A. Machaffie, Winnipeg. A Novel Advertising Scheme. In racking one's brain for some device to catch the shy and wary customer, the fol- lowing may serve as a suggestion. It is tbe story told by the Sentinel of Indianapolis of a druggist of that city. He found a stray nickel on the floor of his store one morning, and resolved to post this notice on the win- dow of his store. "A sum of money found on Tpesday last in this establishment. The owner will re- ceive same within upon describing tbe money." The scheme worked like a charm. Hun- dreds of citizens came in daily for over a week while the notice was left io the win- dow, describing their losses and bewailing their misfortune. Invariably every appli- cant for the lost money bought a cigar. Some were satisfied with five eent straight whiffs, but the great majority, anxioue to impress the drug man favorably toward their claims, invested in two -for -a -quarter. So great was the rush that the fortunate drug- gist had to order a fresh consignment of choice brands. None of the applicants ever applied for the nickel. Old Jack. We are favored here in Houghton with a lesson on the law of kindness to that noblest and most serviceable of all animals -the horse, which is honorable to the town, and in which every citizen should take pride. We refer to old Jack, a worn out horse, be- longing to the A. Haas CotnpanY. Nearly all our citizens have seen him perambulating the streets and wharves making his way at his own sneet will and looking the picture of comfort and content. Although giving evidence very plainly that he ie old, worn- out, and past work, it appears that he is not considered by his owners as an encumbrance to be put out of the way, but as worthy of being as well kept, groomed, and cared for as any animal in their stables. He has worked for them sixteen years, and is now about twenty-five years old. For the past three years' he has done no work, been al- lowed to choose his GWEI °mime, and, to wander about at will. Nobody molests him; even the email boy refuees to shy a stoneest him; and as a representative of genial, gentle old age after s well spent life, he walks around, the recipient of general respect. Such treatment reflects great credit on his owners. Good old Jack, we like to see him on the street, where his de- meanor is that of one who bas the utmost confidence in all he meets. But principally we look upon him as teaching ueeful lessons of kindness in this community,which should be learned and carried into daily practice by us all. -From the Mining Gazette, Portage Lake, Michigan.
