Subjeft: Small Annoyancfiii-We BUoultl
8lrive to Overcome tlie Trouble* of
Life—With the Help of God's Grace
Potty Grievances Become
(Copyright, Louis Klopsck, 181)9.1
Washington, D. C.—This sermon by Dr.
Talmage deals with a subjeot which ap¬
peals to all classes and conditions of men.
His text Is Deuteronomy vll., 20, “The
Lo.rd in thy God will seud the horuot.”
niy text the hornet llios out on Its mis¬
sion. It Is a species of wasp, swift la its
motion and violent lu Its sting, Its touch
is torture to man or beast. We have all
•seen the cattle run bellowing under the cut
of Its lancet. In boyhood we used to stand
cautiously looking at the globular nest
iiuug from the tree branch, and while we
were looking at the wonderful covering we
w#cp struck with something that sent us
shrieking away. The hornet goes in
swarms. It has oaptalns over hundreds,
and twenty of them alighting on one man
will produce certain death.
My friends, when we are assaulted by
great behemoths of trouble we become
•chivalrie, mettled ami we assault them. We get on
the make high steed of our courage, and
wo a cavalry chaige at them, and If
■God be with us w« come out stronger aud
better than when we went in. But alas for
these lnsectite annoyaneos ot life, these
fo(fe too small to shoot, these things with¬
out any avoirdupois weight, the gnats and
the 1»^ midges and the P.ies ana the wasps and
t hornetsl In other words, It is the
small, stinging annoyances of our life
which be^t drive us out aud use us up. In the
conditioned life for some grand and
.glorious purpose God lias sent the hornet.
I remark, In the first place, that these
small, stinging annoyances may come In
the shape of a nervous organization. Peo¬
ple who are prostrated iy||ler typhoid
fevers or with broken bonee get plenty of
•sympathy, but who pities anybody that Is
nervous? The doctors say and the family
say and everybody says, “Oh, she’s ouly a
little nervous; that’s all!” The sound of a
heavy foot, the harsh clearing of a throat,
a discord in music, a want of harmony be¬
tween the shawl aud tbe glove on the same
person, a curt answer, a passing slight, the
wind from the east, any one of ten thou¬
sand annoyances, opens the door for the
hornet. The fact Is that the vast majority
•of the people In this country are over¬
worked, and tbetr nerves are the first to
give out. A great multitude are under the
straiu of Leyden, who, when he was told
by his physician that if be did not stop
■working while he was in such poor physi¬
cal health he would die, responded, “Doc¬
tor, whether X live or die, the wheel mu 9 t
keep going round.” These sensitive per¬
sons of whom X speak have a bleeding sen¬
sitiveness. The flies love to light on any¬
thing raw; aud these people are like the
Cannaultee spoken of In the text or In the
context—they have a very thin covering
and are vulnerable at nil points. “And the
Lord sent the hornet.”
Again, the small Insect annoyances may
come to us in the shape of friends and ac¬
quaintances agreeable who ure always saying dis¬
things. There are some people
you cannot be with for half an hour but
you feel cheered and oomforted. Then
there are other people you cannot be with
for five minutes before you feel miserable.
They do not mean to disturb you, but they
sting you to the bone. They gatheraip all
the yarn which the gossips spin and Xetall
it. They gather up all the adverse criti¬
cisms about your person, about your busi¬
ness, about your home, about your church,
and (hey make your ear the funnel Into
which they pour it. They laugh heartily
when they tell you, as though it wete a
•good joke, and you laugh, too—outside.
The small insect annoyances of life
sometimes come in the shape of local
physical trouble which does not amount
xo a positive prostration, but which
bothers you when you want to feel the
best Perhaps it is a sick headache which
has been the plague of your life, and you
appoint some occasion of mirth or sociality
or usefulness, and when the clock strikes
the hour you cannot make your appear¬
ance. Perhaps the trouble Is oetweeu the
ear and tbe forehead In the shape of
-a neuralgic twinge. Nobody can see it or
sympathize with It, but just at the time
wbon you want your intellect clearest and
your disposition brightest you feel a sharp,
keen, disconcerting thrust. “The Lord
.sent the hornet.”
Perhaps these small Insect annoyances
will come in the shape of a domestic Irri¬
tation. The parlor and the kitchen do not
always harmonize. To get good service
and keep it is one of the great questions of
the country. Sometimes It may be the ar¬
rogance aud inconsldorateness of employ¬
ers; but, whatever be the fact, we all ad¬
mit there are these Insect annoyances
winging their way out from the culinary
department. If the grace of God be not in
the heart of the housekeeper, The she cannot
maintain her equilibrium. meu come
home at night aud hear the story of these
•annoyances and say, “Oh, these home
troubles are very little thlngsl” They are
small, small as wasps, but they stiug.
Martha’s nerves were all unstrung when
she rushed in asking Christ to scold
Mary, and there are tens of thousands of
women who are dying, stung to death by
these pestiferous domestic annoyances.
“The Lord sent the hornet.”
These small insect disturbances may also
oorne In the shape of busine-s irritations.
There are men here who went through the
24th of September, 1862, and the panics of
1873 und of 1893 without losing their
balance who are every day unhorsed by lit¬
tle annoyances—a clerk’s ill manners, or a
blot of ink on a bill of lading, or the ex¬
travagance of a partner who overdraws his
account or the underselling by a business
rival, or the whispering of store confi¬
dences lu the street, or the making of some
little bad debt which was against your judg¬
ment, but you wanted to please somebody
else.
It is not the panics that kill the mer-
■chants. Panics come only once In ten or
twenty years. It Is the constant din of
these everyday annoyances which is send¬
ing so many of our best merchants into
nervous dyspepsia and paralysis and the
.grave. When our national commorce fell
flat on its face, those men stood up and felt
almost defiant, but their life is going away
now under the swann of these pestiferous
■annoyances. “The Lord sent the hornet.”
The naturalist tells us that a wasp some¬
times has a family ot 20,000 wasps, and It
does seem as if every annoyance of your
life brooded a million. By tho help of God,
to-day I want to show you the ocher side.
The hornet is of no use? Ob, yes! The
naturalist tells us they are very important
In the world’s economy. They kill spiders,
and they clear tbe atmosphere. And I
really believe God sends the annoyances
of our life upon us to kill the spiders of
the soul and to clear the atmosphere of
our skies.
These annoyaneffs are sent onus, I think,
to wake us up from our lethargy. Thera
Is nothing that makes a man so lively as a
neA of “yellow jackets,” and I think that
these annoyances are Intended to persuade
us of the fact that this is not a world for
us to stop ih. If we had a bed el every¬
thing that was attractive and soft and
easy, what would we want ot heaven? Wo
think that the hollow tree sends the hor¬
net, or we may '.hint that the devil sends
the hornet. I want to oorrect your opinion.
“The Lord sent the lgprnet.”
Then I think these annoyances come on
us to cultivate our patience. In the gym¬
nasium you find upright parallel bars
with holes over each other for pegs to be
put iu. Then the gymnast take a peg in
«a«h hand, and he begins to climb, oue
Ineh at a time or two inches, and getting
his strength cultivated, reaches after
awhile the ceiling. And it seems to me
that these annoyances in Hie are a moral
gymnasium, each worriment a peg with
whfoh we are to elimb higher and higher
In Christian attainment. Wo nil love to
see patience, but It cannot be cultivated
In fair weather. Patlenoe Is a ohtld of the
storm. It yon hail everything desirable
and there was nothing more to got, what
would you want with patlenoe# The onl
time to cultivate It Is when you are He
about and slok and half dead.
“Ob,” you say, “If X only had the cir¬
cumstances of some well to do man Iwoul*
bo patient too.” You might as woll sey,
"If It wore not for this water, I would
swim,” or, “X could shcot this gun it It
rvero not for the cartridge.” When you
stand oliln deep in annoyances toward is the time
for you to swim out the great
headlands of Christian attainment, so as
to "know Christ and the power of Ills ro-
surr«ctto,u and to have fellowship with His
sufferings.” but furnace will burn
Nothing the ever I have
out of us the clinker and the slag.
formed this theory In regard to small
annoyances and vexations. It takes just
so much trouble to lit us for usefulness
and for heaven. The only question Is
whether -/o shall take It In the bulk or
pulverized and granulated. Rore Is one Is
man who takes It In the bulk. His back
broken or his eyesight befalls put him, out, while or some the
other awful calamity
vast majority of people take the thing
piecemeal. Which way would you rather
have It? Of course, In piecemeal Better
have live aching teeth than on# broken
jaw, better tea fly blisters than an ampu¬
tation, better twenty squalls than one
cyclone. There may fca a difference of
opinion as to allopathy and homeo¬
pathy, but in this manner of trouble
I like homeopathic doses, small pellets
of annoyance rather than somo knock¬
down doBe of calamity. Instead qf
the thunderbolt give us tile hornet. If
yon have a bank, you would a great deal
rather that fifty men would come iu with
checks less than S 100 than to have two de¬
positors come in the same day, each want¬
ing his .$10,000. In this latter oase you
cough and look down to the floor and yon
look up to the cetllug before you look Into
the safe. Now, my friends, would you not
rather have these small drafts of annoy-
ance on your bank of faith than some all
staggering demand upon your endurance?
But remember that little as well ns great
annoyances equally require you to trust iu
Christ for succor and for deliverance from
Impatience and Irritability. “Thou wilt
keep him in perfect peao# whose mind is
staid on Thee.”
I go into a sculptor’s studio and see him
shaping a statue. He has a chisel in one
hand and a mallet In the other, and he
gives a very gentle stroke—cl'ck, click,
clickl I say, “Why don’t yonstdke hard¬
er?” "Oh," he replies, “that would shat¬
ter the statue. I can’t do it that way. I
must do it this way.” So ho works on, and
after awhile the features come out, and
everybody that enters the sUtdio is
charmed and faselnated. Well, God has
your soul under process of development,
audit is the little annoyances and vexa¬
tions of life that are chiseling out your
immortal nature. It is click, click, click!
I wonder why some great providence does
not come and with one stroke prepare you
for heaven, Ah, no! God says that is not
the way, and so He keeps on by strokes of
little vexations until at last you shall be a
glad spectacle for angels 3 nd for men.
You know that a large fortune may be
spent In small change, and a vast amount
of moral character may go away In small
depletions. It is the little troubles of life
that are having more effect upon you than
great ones. A swarm of locusts will kill a
grain-field sooner than the incursion of
three or four cattle. You say, “Since I lost
my child, sluoe I lost my property, I have
been a different man.” But you do not reo-
ognize the architecture of little annoy¬
ances that are hewing, digging, cutting,
shaping, splitting and interjolning your
moral qualities. Bats may sink a ship. One
Inciter match may send destruction through
a block of storehouses. Catherine de’ Me¬
dici got her death from smelling a poison¬
ous rose. Columbus, by stopplug and ask¬
ing tor a piece of bread and a drink ot
water at a Franciscan convent, was led to
the discovery of a new world. And there
Is an intimate connection between trifles
and immensities, between nothings and
everythings.
Now, be careful to let none of those an¬
noyances gc through your soul unar¬
raigned. Compel them to administer to
your splrtltual wealth. The scratch of a
sixpenny nail sometimes produces lock¬
jaw, and the clip of a most infinitesimal
annoyance may damage you forever. Do
not let any annoyance or perplexity come
across your soul without its making you
better.
A returned missionary told me that a
company of adventurers rowing up the
Ganges, were stung, to death by files
that Infest that region at certain sea¬
sons. The earth has been strewed with
the carcasses of men slain by Insect
annoyances. The only way to get pre¬
pared for the great trouble of life is to
conquer these small troubles. Wliat
would you say of a soldier who refused
to load his guu or to go into the conflict
because it was only a skirmish, saying:
••I am not going to expend my ammuni¬
tion on a skirmish. Wait until there
comes a general engagement and then
you will see bow courageous I am and what
battling I will do?” The general would say
to such a man, “If you ure not faithful In u
skirmish, you would be nothing in a gen¬
eral engagement.” And I have to tell yon,
O Christiun men, if you cannot apply the
principles of Christ’s religion on a small
scale you will never be able to apply them
on a large soale. If I had my way with
you, 1 would have you possess all pos¬
sible worldly prosperity. I would have
you each one a garden, a river flowing
through it, geraniums and shrubs on
the sides and the grass and flowers as
beautiful as though the rainbow had
fallen. I would have you a house, a
splendid mansion, and the beds should be
covered with upholstery dipped In the set¬
ting sun. I would have every hall in your
bouse set with statues and statuettes, and
then I would have the four quarters of the
globe pour in all their luxuries on your
table, aud you should have forks of silver
and knives of gold, inlaid with diamonds
and amethysts. Then you should each one
of you have the finest horses and your pick
of tbo equipages of the world. Then I
would have you live 150 years, and you
should not have a pain or an acheuntil the
last
"Not each one of us?” you say. Yes,
each one of you. “Not to your enemies?”
Yes. The only difference I would make
with them would be that I would put a
little extra gilt ou their walls and a little
extra embroidery on their slippers. But,
you say, tilings?” “Why does not God give us all
these Ah! I bethink myself. Ha
is wiser. It would make fools and sluggards
of us If we had our way. No man puts his
best picture in the portico or vestibule of
his house. God meant this world to be
only the vestibule of heaven, that great
gallery of the universe toward which wo
are aspiring. this We must not have it too
good in world or we would want no
heaven.
Polycarp was condemned to bo burned to
death. The stake was planted. He wa 3
fastened to it. The fagots wore placed
around him, the fires kindled, but history
tells us that the flame 3 bent outward like
the eanvus of a ship In a stout breeze, so
that the flames, instead of destroying
Polycarp, were only a wall between him
and his enemies. They had actually to de¬
stroy him with the poniard. The flames
would not touch him. Well, my haarer,
I want you to understand that by God’s
grace the flames of trial, instead of con¬
suming your soul, are ouly going to be a
wall of defense and a canopy of blessing.
God is going to fulfill to you the blessings
aud the promises, as He did to Polyearp.
“When thou walkest through the fire, thou
shalt not be burned.” Now you do not un¬
derstand, but you shall know hereafter. In
heaven you will bless God even for the
hornet.

A REMARKABLE SHIP.
She Ice-Breaker Yermak May Crush Its Way
to the Pole.
The Russian ice breaker Yermak, the
largest vessel of its kind In the world,
has just returned to the Tyne, where
she was built, after a very successful
voyage to the Polar Sea. She was
built to break the Ice of the Baltic and
the Kara sea, so as to give ships access
:o the Russian ports and rivers at times
when they have hitherto been closed
by winter. Last March the Yermak
entered the frozen up port of Cron-
Tadt with comparative ease, and then
going to Revel, liberated thirty-three
vessels of the value $27,500,000, and
some of which were In great danger.,
Then returning to Cronstadi and St.
Petersburg she opened out the way
for the entry of forty steamers several
weeks bofore the ordinary time. This
work proved tbe commercial value of
the Yermak, but all the same it was
deemed wise to subject her to more se¬
vere testa. Aecot’dingly her command¬
er, Vice Admiral Makaroff, of the Im¬
perial Russian navy, took her to the
Polar sea some six jveoks ago, calling
at Advent Bay, Spitzbergen, en route.
Polar Ice was encountered In latitude
SO degrees, 15 minutes, and for a
month the Yermak was put to very
stiff trial among this. Some of the
plain Ice was fourteen feet thick, and
the pack or ridge ice rose to a height
of eighteen feet on the surface, and
was ascertained by careful measure¬
ment to be as deep as seven fathoms
In places. The Yermak behaved splen¬
didly, and traveled through some 230
miles of such obstacles at an average
speed of three to four knots per hour.
Her commander expresses himself as
highly satisfied with the performance,
though he has discovered that the ves¬
sel may be strengthened with advan¬
tage in certain parts. The work she
will have to do on the Russian coast
will not be nearly so severe, Admiral
Makaroff says, for In the Baltic the Ice
seldom becomes more than three feet
thick, and toward the mouths of the
Siberian rivers it is not likely to ex¬
ceed five feet six inches. The result of
the Polar trip strengthens Admiral
Makaroff In his conviction that future
Arctic explodation. If It Is to be thor¬
oughly successful, must be conducted,
or, at any rate, Initiated by Ice break-
ers.

Tb« Cost ot a Loaf of Bread.
An Interesting contribution to a
series of publications being Issued by
the Department of Agriculture em¬
bracing investigations into the food
and nutrition of man, tms been made
by Professor Harry Snyder, of the
Minnesota Agricultural College. The
paper contributed by Professor Snyder
relates to experiments made at the
Minnesota University in bread-making.
The average “pound loaf” of fresh
bread as sold by bakers, says the Pro-
fesaor^ weighed on an average about
one pound one ounce. A penml loaf of
bread can be made from aboift three-
quarters of a pound of flour, about 25
per cent, of water being added to the
flour during the process of bread-mak¬
ing. With some flours 5 to 10 per cent,
more water can be absorbed, making a
greater weight of bread from a given
weight of flour, This additional
weight Is water and not nutrients.
At two cents a pound for flour, it is
estimated by Professor Snyder that a
pound loaf of bread can be made, not
counting fuel and labor, for about two
cents, a half cent being allowed for
shortening and yeast. The loss of dry
matter in bread-making Is usually con¬
sidered as amounting to about 2 per
cent, of the flour used. In exceptional
eases, as In prolonged fermentation,
under favorable conditions the losses
may amount to 8 par cent, or more.—

BULLDOG THAT DIVES.
The Animal Can Stay Under Water
a Minute and a Half,
A bulldog owned by Meek Wende of
Wenrle Station, Erie County, has de¬
veloped a trait which, dog-fanciers say,
is a very rare one. The animal will
dive to the bottom of pools ten feet
deep. He will do so at his owner's bid¬
ding and will do so of his own accord
If his owner does not see fit to encour¬
age the trick.
The dog Is about two years old and
has been a diver for a year. Unlike
most bulldog# be took to the water
when he was very young and regularly
ont-swam a spaniel belonging to Mr.
Wende. A year ago this July a small
boy at Wende Station was drowned in
a swimming hole beneath a railway
bridge. The water at that point ranges
'n depth from 10 to 25 feet and the
area of the deep water was about 50
square yards. Grappling hooks were
used in Tain by the men who endeavor¬
ed to find the body. Young men began
to d^ve and Meek Wende and his bull¬
dog eat and wntehed the proceedings.
Diver after diver came up empty-hand¬
ed and the bulldog manifested much
restlessness. At length, when Its #wner
was not looking, the dog Jumped Into
the stream, swam around a few min¬
utes and, to the surprise of every one,
disappeared beneath the surface. It
was the dog’s first dive. I* about thir¬
ty seconds the dog came to the surface,
shook himself, breathed a low times
and descended again. Seven or eight
tidies the dog went under and when he
came up the last time he had the body
of the boy.
Dick, -which Is Jho dog’s name, has
been a diver ever since that time. So
far as hi* owner knows, he has never
gone down more than ten feet, but he
can make that depth with ease. Mr.
Wende has ouly to drop a stone or a
knife or a watch Into the creek back of
the house, and the dog will go after It.
Dick mano“uvers differently than does
a man. He swims out a few strokes
and then gradually lets hi* body sink,
paddling as he descends, so that he
will go down at an angle. When the
water has been clear, Mr. Wende has
seen Dick walking around on the bot¬
tom, nosing in the mud or gravel. At
first a half minute was the limit of the
animal’s endurance under water but
now he often remains beneath the sur¬
face as long as a minute and a half.—
