* Discourse.
Subject: Aw Ancient Fplgmin—An Old
Saying Used to Illustrate the Ludicrous
Behavior ot Those Who Magnify Small
Sing and Ignore Great Ones.
[Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1899.]
Washington, It. C.—ln this discourse,
founded on an ancient epigram repeated
by Christ, Dr. Talmage illustrates the folly
of being very particular about insignificant
things, while neglectful of vast concerns.
The text is Matthew xxiii., 24: “Ye blind
guides, which strain at u gnat and swallow
a camel.”
A proverb is compact wisdom, knowledge
In chunks, a library In a sentence, the elec
tricity 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 ludlfirous bohavior
of those who make a great bluster about
small sins and have no appreciation of
great ones. In my text a small Insect and
a large quadruped are brought into com
parison—a gnat and a camel. You have in
museum or on the desert seen the latter, a
great awkward, sprawling creature, with
back two stories high and stomach having
a collection ol "reservoirs for desert travel,
an animal torbidden to the Jews as food
and in many literatures 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 becomes a
•chrysalis and then after a few days be
comes the gnat as we recognize 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 the 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
anything almost than drink this water un
til tM- larva be extirpated,” This water
i#brought under inquisition. The experi
ment is successful. The water rushes
through the sieve and leaves against the
side of the sieve the grub or gnat. Then
the man carefully removes the insect and
drinks the water in placidity. But going
out one day and hungry, he devours a
“ship of the desert,” the camel, which the
Jews were forbidden to eat. The gastron
omer has no compunctions of oonscieaoe.
He suffers from no indigestion. He puts
the lower jaw under the camel’s forefoot
and his upper jaw over the hump of the
camel’s back and gives one swallow, and
dromedary disappears forever. He strained
out a gnat; lie swallowed a camel.
While Christ’s audience was yet smiling
at the oppositeness and wit of His illustra
tion—for smile they did, unless they were
too stupid to understand the hyperbole—
Christ practical! said to them, “That is
you.” Punctilious about small things;
reckless about affairs of great magnitude.
No subject ever winced under a surgeon’s
knife more bitterly than did the Pharisees
under Christ’s scalpel of truth. As an an
atomist will take a human body to pieces
and put the pieces under a microscope for
examination, so Christ finds His way to
the heart of the dead Pharisee and cuts it
out and puts it under the glass of Inspec
tion for all generations to examine. Those
Pharisees thought that Christ would flatter
them and compliment them, and how they
must have writhed under the redhot words
as He said, “Ye fools, ye whited sepulchers,
ye blind guides, which strain out a gnat
and swallow a camel.”
There are in our day a great many gnats
strainod out and a great many camels swal
lowed, and it is the object of this sermon
to sketch a few persons who are extensive
ly enaaged in that business.
remark, that all those ministers
of who are very scrupulous
aboutfiPs conventionalities of religion, but
put no particular stress upon matters of
vast importance, are photographed in the
text. Church services ought to be grave
and solemn. There is no room for frivolity
in religious convocation. But there are il
lustrations, and there are hyperboles like
that of Christ in the text, that will irradi
ate with smiles any intelligent audience.
There are men like those blind guides of
the test who udvoente only those tilings in
religious service which draw the corners
of the mouth down and denounce all
those things which have a tendency to
draw the corners of the mouth up, and
these men will go to Installations and to
presbyteries and to conferences and to
associations, their pockets full of fine
sieves to strain out the gnats, while in
thr own churches at home every Sunday
there are fifty people sound asleep. They
make their churches a great dormitory,
and their somniferous sermons are a oradle
and the drawled out hymns a lullaby,
whllesome wakeful soul in a pew with her
fan keeps the flies off unconscious persons
approximate. Now, I say it is worse to
sleep in church than to smile in church,
for the latter implies at least attention,
while the former implies the indifference
of the hearers and the stupidity of the
speaker.
In old age or infirmity or
from long the sick drowsi
ness will somefTr overpower one, but
when a ministir the gospel looks off
upon an audiencl . id finds’healthy and
Intelligent people struggling with drowsi
ness it Is tftne for him to give out the
doxology or pronounce the benediction.
The great fault of church services to-day
Is not too much vivacity, but too much
somnolence. The one is an irritating
gnat that may he easily strained out; the
other is a great, sprawling and sleepy
eyed camel of the dry desert.
I take down from my library the biogra
phies of ministers and writers of the past
ages, inspired and uninspired, who have
done the most to bring souls to Jesus
Christ, and I find that without a single ex
-coption they consecrated their wit and
their humor to Christ. Elijah used it when
he advised the Baalites, as they could not
makp their god respond, to call louder, as
might be sound asleep or gone
a-liuutiug. Job used it when he said to
his self-conceited comforters, “Wisdom
will die with you.” Christ not only used
it in the text, b-qt when He ironically com
plimented the clorrupt Pharisees, saying,
"“The whole neqd not a physician,” and
when by oae w&rd He described the cun
ning of “Go ye and tell that
fox.” commentaries from

oan hear three blocks, will cry
out, "Police, police!” That same
man the evening of the day in
which he watered the stock will kneel witk
his family in prayers and thank God for
the prosperity of the day, then kiss his
children 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 insec-ti le in size, but palaces for
crimes dromedarian. No mercy for sins
animalcule in proportion, but great len
iency for mastodon Iniquity. A poor boy
slyly takes from the basket of a market
woman a choke pear, saving some one else
from the cholera, and you smother him in
the horrible atmosphere of Raymond
Street Jail or New York Tombs, while his
oousin, who has beeu skillful enough to
steal 450,000 from the city, you make a
candidate for the State Legislature.
There is a good deal of uneasiness and
nervousness now among some people in
our time who have got unrighteous for
tunes, a great deal of uneasiness about
dynamite. I tell them that God will put
under their unrighteous fortunes some
thing mere explosive than dynamite, the
earthquake of His omnipotent indig
nation. It is time that we learn in America
that sin is not excusable in proportion as
it declares large dividends and has out
riders in equipage. Many a man Is riding
to perdition postilion ahead and lackey
behind. To steal one copy of a newspaper
is a gnat; to steal many thousands of dol
lars is a camel. There Is many a fruit
dealer who would not consent to steal a
basket of peaches from a neighbor’s stall,
but who would not scruple to depress the
fruit market, and as long as I can re
member we have heard every summer the
peach crop of Maryland is a failure, and
by the time the crop comes in the mis
representation makes a difference of mil
lions of dollars. A man who would not
steal one basket of peaches steals 50,000
baskets of peaches.
Go down into the public library, in the
reading room, and see the newspaper re
ports of the crops from ail parts of the
country, and their phraseology Js very
much the same, and the same meh ivrote
them, methodically and infamously carry
ing out the huge lying about the grain
crop from year to year and for a score of
years. After awhile there will be a “cor
ner” In the wheat market, and men who
had a contempt for petty theft will burg
larize the wheat bin of a nation and com
mit larceny upon the American oorn orib,
and some of the men will sit in phurohes
and in reformatory institutions trying to
strain out the small gnats of scoundreltsm,
while in their grain elevators and in their
storehouses they are fattening huge
camels which they expect after awhile to
swallow. Society has to be entirely re
constructed on this subject. We are
to find that a sin is inexcusable in pro
portion as it is great. I know in our
time the tendency is to charge reli
gious frauds upon good men. They say,
“Oh what a host of frauds you have in the
Church of God in this day!” And when an
elder of a church, or a deacon, or a minis
ter of the gospel, or a suferlntendont of a
Sabbath-school turns out a defaulter, what
display heads there are in many of the
newspapers. Great primer type. Five
line pica. “Another Saint Absconded,”
“Clerical Seoundrelism,” "Religion at a
Discount,” “Shame on the Churches,”
while there are a thousand scoundrels out
side the church to one inside the church,
and the misbehavior of those who never
see the inside of a church is so greift that
it is enough to tempt a man to become a
Christian to get out of their company.
But in all circles, religious and irreligious,
the tendency is to excuse sin in proportion
asit is mammoth, Even John Milton in his
"Paradise Lost,” while he condemns satan,
gives such a grand description of him you
have hard work to withhold your admira
tion. Oh, this straining out of small sins
like gnats and this gulping down great ini
quities like camels.
The 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 neigh
bors 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 Government of the
United States took off the tax from per
sonal Income, among other reasons because
so few people would tell the truth, and
many a man with an income of hundreds
of dollars a clay made statements which
seemed to imply he was about to be handed
over to the o\ erseer of the poor. Careful
to pay their passage from Liverpool to
New York, yet smuggling in their Saratoga
trunk ten silk dresses from Paris and a
half dozen wciches from Geneva, telling
the custom house officer on the wharf,
“There is nothing in that trunk but wear
ing apparel,” and putting a $5 gold piece
in his hand to punctuate the statement.
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 oalled
upon to keep their eyes on others and
growl. They are full of suspicions. They
wonder if this man is not dishonest, if that
man is not unclean, if there is not some
thing wrong about the other man. They
are always the first to hear of anything
wrong. Vultures are always the first to
smell carrion. They are self-appointed
detectives. I lay this down as a rule with
out any exception that those people who
have the most faults themselves are most
merciless in their watohing of others.
From scalp of head to sole of foot they are
full of jealousies aDd hypercriticisms.
But lest too many might think they es
cape the scrutiny of the text I have to tell
you that we all come under the divine sat
ire when we make the questions of time
more prominent than the questions of
eternity. Come, now, let us all 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 treasures in heaven? the question.
How shall I pay my debts to man? greater
than the question, How shall I meet obliga
tions to God? the question, 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 extirpated from my nature? the ques
tion, What shall I do with the twenty or
forty or seventy years of my sublunar ex
istence? greater than the question, What
shall I do with the millions of cycles of my
post terrestrial existence? Time, how small
It isl Eternity, how vast it is? The former
more insignificant in comparison with the
latter than a gnat is insignificant when
compared with a camel. We dodged the
text. We said, “That doe 9 not mean me,
arid that does not mean me,” and with a
ruinous benevolence we ate giving the
whole sermon away.
But let us all surrender to the charge.
What an ado about things here. What poor
preparation for a great eternity. As though
a minnow were larger than a behemoth, as
though a swallow took wider circuit than
an albatross, as though a nettle were taller
than a Lebanon cedar, as though a gnat
were greater than a camel, as though a
minute were longer than a century, as
though time were higher, deeper, broader
than eternity. So the text which flashed
with lightning of wit as Christ uttered it
is followed by the crashing thunders ol
awful catastrophe to those who make the
questions of time greater than the ques
tions of the future, the oncoming, over
shadowing future. Oh, eternity, eternity,
I eternity!

“Bull Run” Russell’s Mistake.
During tlie siege of Paris. Dr. W.
11. Russell, unpleasantly familiar to
Americans as "Bull Run Russell,” was
p.cting as war correspondent for the
London Times, and was very much in
Bismarck’s society. One evening when
Bismarck had been denouncing the
; ther English papers with his usual
violence and pungency of phrase, Dr.
Bussell took occasion to observe, in a
way; ‘'Well, you must
admit, Count Bismarck, that I, at
least, have beeu very discreet in every- I
tiling that I have written to the Times. |
You have always conversed before me I
with the utmost frankness upon all
sorts of subjects, and I have been most
careful never to repeat a word of any
thing that you have said.” Bismarck
turned upon him with a look of
mingled anger and contempt. “The
more fool you!” he roared; “do you
suppose that I ever said a word before
you that I didn't want you to print?”

WILLS OF PRESIDENTS.
XVunhingtoii was Rich, hut Jnckaon
Died In Poverty.
In looking over the files of his office
the register has found several other
very interesting wills, among them
those of five of the Presidents—Wash
ington, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy
Adams and Franklin Pierce. Wash
ington was a very rich man—one of
the wealthiest in the United States—
and had a large amount of real estate
in Washington, which he purchased at
the time the capital was located there,
and held for'a rise. A hundred years
later a terrible cry was raised because
General Grant bought a few lots in the
new part of the city, which were likely
to advance in value because of the im
provements that were being made by
the Shepherd Board of Public Works,
and there is no doubt that President
McKinley would be severely criticised
if he should engage in real-estate spe
culation; but it was considered proper
for Wasungton to do so. He showed
his faith in the future of the city he
founded and desired to profit by its
growth.
John Quincy Adams was another rich
President. Charles Francis Adams
was his execitfor and had the disposi
tion of several houses and vacant lots
in different parts of the city.
James Monroe confessed bankruptcy,
and his only property was a grant from
Congress, which he enjoined his son
in-law, Samuel L. Gouverneur, to use
in paying his debts.
President Jackson also confessed his
poverty in his will and declared that
he was ruined by uis “well-beloved
nephew and adopted son.” His will
is signed “Andrew Jackson, Sr.”
Mr. Madison left all his property to
his wife.
It is an interesting fact that Salmon
P. Chase, for four years Secretary of
the Treasury, for five years Chief Jus
tice of the United States, and recog
nized as one of the ablest jurists of
the century, left a will in his own
handwriting which could not be pro
bated because of its legal imperfec
tions. I believe the same wns true of
Mr. Tllden’s will, and also that of
Charles O’Connor, and proves the old
adage that a man who is his own law
yer has a fool for a client. The will of
Chase was not properly written nor
properly witnessed.
General Grant was the executor of
tbe will of General John A. Rawlins,
and his report of the disposition of the
estate is carefully written in his own
handwriting.

A Dor Lives With Foxes.
Cascade township, Lycoming County,
has a dog that was stolen by foxes and
which now lives In the woods with the
sly animals that stole It. N. J. Ma
loney, a farmer of the township, had
had several chickens stolen by foxes.
Mr. Maloney was not the only person
who missed some of his chickens.
There were others. Some of his neigh
bors waited with shotguns for the
thieves, and four or five foxes were
killed.
Instead of doing that Mr. Maloney ]
put a six-month-old pup In a kennel
near the cliieken-coop. He thought the
dog would frighten the foxes away;
but he was mistaken. The first night
that the pup was put on guard the
foxes made a raid, and, besides oue or
two chickens, stole the dog. It was j
thought that the foxes had killpd the |
dog; but several nights ago the dog
was seen going along the edge of the
mountains with two foxes. The dog
has assumed the slyness of a fox, and
can run nearly as fast as the foxes. Mr.
Maloney is anxious to get his dog
back, and has set a trap for it.—New

To Piny Filipino Airs.
“The band of the Twentieth Kan
sas,” says the Kansas City Journal, “is
arranging to go on a tour of the State
with a programme of martilal airs and
Philippine pieces as soon as it re
turns from the war. This baud has not
been a camp-roosting organization by
any means. It gets out on tho firing
line aud plays ‘A Hot Time’ whenever
It has a chance, and when not playing
the boys have engaged themselves in
soldier duties at the front. Up to this
time the band has lost one killed and
three wounded, and proportionately
this is as much casualty as has been
suffered by any company in the regi
ment. The tour is a happy suggestion
and it is sure to be tremendously suc
cessful.”

Storm in
Summer?
We never did; but we have
seen the clothing at this time
of the year ao covered with
dandruff that it looked as if it
had been out in a regular snow
storm.
No need of this snowstorm.
As the summer sun would
melt the falling snow so will
Ayer’s
Hair
vigor
melt these flakes of dandruff In
the scalp. It goes further than
this: it prevents their formation.
It has still other properties:
it will restore color to gray hair
in just ten times out of every
ten cases.
And it does even more; it
feeds and nourishes the roots
of the hair. Thin hair becomes
thick hair; and short hair be
comes long hair.
We have a book on the Hair
and Scalp. It is yours, for the
asking.
If yon do not obtain all the benefits
you expected from tbe use of the Vigor,
write tbe doctor about It. Probably
there Is some difficulty with your gen
eral system which may be easily re
moved. Addrsss.
