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.
