THE ATLANTA UEOituiAN AND NEWS. HATUUltAY, OCTOBKK 8. 1907. 11 LESSONS FROM UTTLE THINGS By REV. RICHARD ORME FLINN, PASTOR NORTH AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH T HEBE ora four things which are little upon the earth. Our Lord was constantly communing with nature. He knew the great world about Him which He had formed and He it and was constantly observ er the'little things of life transplr- 2 therein. Not only so but He was IJrv careful to have others observo these things with Him. You remem- hir He pointed at one time to the titles and said. "Consider the lilies," and their lesson: and again He bade them consider the ravens: and at another time He drew a lesson from the spar- " Now, as Jesus Christ saw ser mons In the life that was about Him, „ likewise the great men of God have Hone Job, for instance (12:7). bids os "Ask now of the beasts and they shall teach thee, and the fowls of the air they shall tell thee, or speak to the’ earth and It shall teach thee, and the Ashes of the sea shall declare unto thee" Again, In Proverbs, where the Wise man Is dealing with the slug- aard He says unto him, "Go to the ant thou sluggard, consider his ways and be wise.” and so. In the passage we choose, there are four little crea tures that are apparently quite Insig nificant, which are nevertheless, as preceptors, held up to us for emula tion. Let us consider these. A Lesson From the Ant. In the first place we have the ant. The ants, we are told, are a people not Strong, yet they prepare their meat In summer and they so. teach us the les sen of prudence and diligence—they make provision beforehand for the fu ture. They, as you know, have their little settlements where they live to gether on the co-opsrotive plan. In stead of rearing edifices, like the wasp cr bee. they nre cave dwellers and ex cavate their houses beneath the ground. In these they arrange a gallery In which they keep their stores for the retire Into their fortress before the siege of winter. But they not only make this provi sion for the future, but take care of their present need and comfort. For Instance, they enjoy milk, and so they keep their cows. There is a little bug, the Juice of which they enjoy as we enjoy the milk of kino, and these bugs they capture, confine and feed, In or der that they may be furnished with dairy dainties. Like the Spartan*. they have their common nurseries, where the little folks are cared for, while the parents are away at work or war. Over these nurseries superintendents are appointed who are exceedingly careful of the little ants entrusted to their charge. And over their colonies sen tinels are placed to watch and guard, and these sentinels will fight and die before they will allow their provi sions stolen or their young molested. Thus, as we consider the ant, wo find that they teach us the lesson of prep aration against the future. By diligence and prudence they make the present count for all they can, so that, despite their weakness, through an exercise of wltdom they are safe. Oh. that men might learn from them In spiritual matters to prepare against the hour of need, and to lay hold In the present upon all that God offers in order that their souls may be satisfied and forti fied. A Lesson From the Grasshopper, After the ante the grasshoppers or the locust are named as creatures very weak, but very wise and worthy of our attention. The grasshopper, though Cthout a king and without a law, yet goes forth In a mighty army. By co operation and by concerted effort this little creature, against great opposi tion, accomplishes great achievements. The locust or grasshoppor la very much dreaded In the East—they are feared and fought beenuae vast areas are sometimes devastated by them. When future, and pack away In time of peace, they begin an Invasion, despite the as England does In her arsenals of united effort of man. tbelr armies are Malta and Glhrallur, enough of pro- often victorious and go straightforward visions to sustain them when they must on their course. This advance they ef fect not by their Indlt^dunl strength. • but by making common cause with one another and by uniting Into one; great factor their many tiny units. And eo the lesson comes to the child of God. weak though he If and often attacked by mighty assailants, yet If with his brethren he will make com mon cause ns part of a united church with God's hosts ho will advance victo rious. A Lesson From the Spider. Next wo have a lesson from the spi der, a thing so small that It may be crushed In the hands (this seems to be the Indicated Inference), and yet a thing that by Its patient vigilance and Its perseverance In waiting for and its j swiftness In laying hold of opportunl- I ties succeeds In Insinuating Itself into I such favored places as the palaces of| kings,' Into which ever larger and bold-1 er creatures can never enter. And this , la the lesson the spider teaches. A. patient, quiet, persistent, watchfull alertness will enable us, no matter how Insignificant we be, to enter at last , Into the palace of the King. Yes, and ! without this patient, spiritual alert ness which leads to prompt appropria tion of privilege, bolder and stronger (and It would seem to u's better) men fall of such attainment A Lesson From the Coney. ’The coney l» but a feeble folk," we are told, "yet they make them their houses In the rocks," and because of this they are considered exceedingly wise. The coney Is a rodent, very sim ilar to the rabbit in appearance and slxe, only It has no long ears. It Is brown of color, with black hair scat tered over Its back and with a white breast. It ls-«allc(l by the Arabs the "Wabberi" the Hebrews called It "Shaphan,” but Its scientific name given by soologlsts Is Hyrax Byriacus. This little animal can be found all along the borders of the Dead Sea, among the rocks In the wlldefness adjacent, and because of Its nature It holds a lesson foe you and for me. In the first place it le exceedingly timid, and well-It may be, because It Is KEV. RICHARD ORME FLINN. sought after by the Inhabitants for food. It Is very much relished by them and le destroyed and eaten when It can be captured, therefore, man Is recog nized as an enemy. Again, It Is preyed upon by'the eaglp, many of which you find In this country, and though It be thus endangered, It has absolutely no means of defense. It has no natural weapon and la helpless, so that If It Is captured there Is nothing It can do. Furthermore, It Is not swift like the hnro; It can not outrun Ha foe. It therefore can not dare to risk a race. Aguln. it can not even burrow like the rabbit and make a place of hiding. Its paws with the blunt nails nre very tender, so that It can not dig at all. It has one large sharp claw on the Inner I part of Its hind foot, but this Is of no I service In defense or In escape. It Is, therefore, perfectly helpless, and It woli may bo timid because of the danger It Is constantly In. and bcauso of Its de- fenseleesness. But Just here It teaches • us one lesson. Though It can not dare ■ live without a deferise, and though It i can not make a place, of defense. It can | and does discover and appropriates the place of refuge prepared for It by God. The country when; the conies abound Is : full of rock strewn hills, among whose . recesses the conies find their home, thus the munitions of the rocks are their defense, the fastnesses of the hills their refuge. The coney Is not merely, I however, satisfied to choose a safe hid ing place, but It Is careful to keep close j lo its defense, even when It goee forth from home seeking Its meals of leaves nnd grasses. Nor does It venture out at all without leaving one of the col ony, usually one of the older ones who Is wiser and quicker wltted. perched upon some rock to act as sentinel and give the signal of danger, and when the least note of warning Is sounded the conies Immediately flee to their re treats. But the coney not only heeds the warning of Its sentinel, but Is vigi lant all the while It Is away frpm home. If even a shadow is seen upon the ground, as some great bird or eagle sweeps above through the air, the co nies run for dear life lest they be at tacked from the sky. If by any means an enemy succeeds In getting between them and the hills they will not run farther afield, but charge right past the enemy to get back to the racks where they know their safety lies. How full of suggestiveness Is this little • animal when ws consider how helpless we are before our'arch ene my. the prince of evil. We are not wise enough to overcome him nor strong enough to stand against him, or able alone to- hide from him. but are absolutely helpless unless, like the coney, we make our dwelling place In God. David recognises this In Pa. 22:1-3, when he declared, "The Lord Is my fortress ahd my deliverer." Six teen times. Indeed, through the Psalms, docs David declare that "God is my rock," and many more times does ho refer to Him as his defense nnd Ills refuge. Oh, soul! Learn from the coney thy lesson, appropriate God’s blessed pro vision, enter thy refuge. Moreover, like the coney, venture not far from this place of Bafety; If duty colls you Into danger be vigilant, heed those who watch for you nnd warn you, and de lay not to escape If you are threatened. Does any shadow hide the face of God from your sight? Fear It as you would fear death Itself. Let absolutely noth ing come between you and God—no matter what It may be or what It may cost, get back to God at all hazards and get quickly back to Him. Anything that will hide His face or even cast a shadow endanger your being cut off from Him and may prove your over throw—therefore, again I say. hide In God. There Is but one other lesson wo mention as taught us by the coney—It Is the lesson of trust. Though weak and defenseless when amidst the rocks, the coney Is unafraid, and so may we .be unafraid If we abide In God. Several years ago when my little boy was with hi* mother spending some time at Battle Creek, there c&mo a terrible storm. The lightning flash ed, the thunder pealed, and the very earth seemed to rock. As the tempest drew on apace he was very much terri fied and unablo to sleep. His mother spoke to him quietly nnd said to him, "Why do you fear? Why do you not trust In God? He Is here. I have told yoU about heaven. If the lightning should come and strike you tt would only be God's taking you home very quickly. As she thus assured him. he looked up and smiled and said, “Mara- mn, I wish the lightning would strike me," and then turning over, he went to sleep. He recognized, tiny little fel low though he was, that God was his refuge. And so may we who are but children of a few more yeare with trou. bled minds, be calmed and quieted amidst the storms of life If we can but realize that God Is our refuge and our strength. During those hard, weary days when Luther seemed to etond alone, nnd all the world eeemed to stand against him. It is said that at one time he became overwhelmed with the burden and was dejected to the point of melancholy. He had not lost Ills faith In God, but he had lost his peace and confidence and Joy. His enemies were so powerful anti were so active and so numerous that there appeared to be no hope, and so their opposition well-nigh crushed out his last spark of life. When thus Ills Joy hod been eclipsed and he was over come with weariness nnd spent, nns morning when ho awoke he found his wife In deep mourning. He said. “What does this mean? Who Is dead?” She said "God Is dead.” "What do you mean, madam?" he demanded. "I mean that you are living, you are talk ing, you are acting as though God were dead, and therefore I have put on mourning." The thrust went home nnd as a con, sequence of his reawakened hope Lu ther penned that memorable poem, throbbing with such courageous con-, fidence that has been the noble battle! hymn of freedom for the spiritually enthralled: ’A mighty fortress'll* our God. A bulwark never falling: Our helper He, amid the flood Of mortal Ills prevailing. For still our ancient foo Doth seek to work ue woe: Ills craft nnd powT are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth 1* not his equal. Did we In our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing: Ware not the right man on our side. The man of Ood’e own choosing. Didst ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, It Is He; Lord Sabaoth Is His name. From age to age the aame, And He must win the battle. METHODIST. p.UIK STICKS? METHODIST—Corner of Park nnd lew streets. Her M. L.
