The Tcople Who Ar© Alarmed at On© Sin of Their Neighbor's Fall to Notice Twenty of Their Own—Cam els Easily Swallowed. Brooklyn, N. Y., March 28.—Dr. Tal mage created a grout stir in tho Brooklyn tabernacle yesterday morning by making the following announcement: "I am happy lo say that as a church, after the exhausting work of building three immense churches, two of them hav ing been destroyed by tire—a burden never before put upon the back of any congre gation—we are now financially in smooth waters. Arrangement* have been made by which our pecuniary difficulties are fully adjusted. Our lucome exceeds our outgo, ami this church will be yours and your children's hereafter. When I came to Brooklyn, I came to a small church with a big indebtedness. We now worship in this, the largest Pro testant church in America, and finan cially, as a congregation, we are worth over mid beyond all indebtedness, consid erably more than ilftj.OUO. I ask you to rise, and led by cornet and organ, to join in singing. "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.’* A proverb U compact wisdom, knowl edge In chunks, a library in a sentence, tho electricity of many clouds dis charged in one bolt, a river put through a mill race. When Christ quotes the proverb of the text, he means to set forth thel ludicrous behavior 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 largo quadruped are brought into compari son—a gnat and a camel. You have in museum or on the desert seen the lat ter, a great, awkward, sprawling creature with back two 6torieB high, and stomach having a collection of reservoirs for desert travel, an animal forbidden to the Jows as food, and in many literatures entitled “the Bhip of the desert” The gnat spoken of in the text Is in the grub form. It is born in pool or pond, aftora few weeks becomes a chrysalis, and then after a few days becomes a gnat as we recog nize it lint the insect spoken of in the text is in its very smallest shape, and it yet iuhubits the water—for my text is a misprint and ought to read “strain out a gnat” My tost shows you the princo of in consistencies. A man after long ob servation has formed the supicion that in a cup of water he is about to drink, there is a grub or the grandparent of a gnat lie goes and gets a sieve or strainer. lie 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 until this larva bo extirpated. ” This water is brought under inquisition. The experiment is successful. The water rushes through the sievo and leaves against the side of the sieve the grub or gnat. Then tho man carefully removes the insect and drinks the water in placidity. Hut going out one day, and hungry, ho devours a “ship of the desert,” tho camel, which the Jews were forbidden to eat The gas tronomer has no compunctions of con science. lie suiters for no indigestion, lie puts the lower jaw under the earners forefoot and his upper jaw over tho hump of the camel's back, and gives one swallow and the dromedary disappears forever. He strained out a gnat, he swallowed a camel. While Christ's audience were yet smiling at the appositeness and wit oi his illustration—for smile they did in church, unless they were too stupid to understand tho hyperbole—Christ prac tically said to them, "That is you.” Punctilious about small things; reckless about affairs of great magnitude. No subject ever writhed under a surgeon's knife more 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, sc Christ finds his way to the heart of the dead Pharisee and cuts it out and put its under the glass ol inspection for all generations to ex ainiuu. inose rnansees tnougnt that Christ would flatter them and compli ment them, and how they must have writhed under the red-hot words as he said: “Ye tools, 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 swallowed, and it is the object of this sermon to sketch a few persons who are extensively engaged in that business. First, I remark, that all those min isters of the goipel are photographed in the text who are very scrupulous about the conventionalities of religion, but put no particular stress upon mat ters of vast importance. Church servi ces ought to be grave and solemn. There is no room for frivolity in relig ious convocation. But there are Illus trations. 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 down, and denounce all those thingi which have a tendency to draw the corners of the mouth up, and these men will go to installations and tc presbyteries and to conferences and tc associations, their pockets full of fine sieves to strain out ilia gnats, while in their own churches nl home every Sunday there are flftj people sound asleep. They make theii churches a great dormitory, and theii somniforous sermons are a cradle, and the drawied-out hymns a lullaby, while some wakeful soul in a pew with liei fan keeps the flies off unconscious per sons approximate Now. 1 say it i« worse to sleep in church than to smile in church, for the latter implies at least attention, while the former im plies the indifference of the heareri and the stupidity of the speaker. Is old age, or from physical infirmity, 01 from long watching with the sick, drowsiness will sometimes overpowei one; but when a minister of the Gospel looks upon an audience and findi healthy and intelligent people strug ling with drowsiness, it is time foi "i<mw - \s^.T-? ■ .. -' ■ . ; ■ him to give out the doxology or pro nounce the benediction. The great fault of cburcli services today is not too much vivacity, but too much som nolence. The one is an irritating gnat that may be easily strained out; the other is a great, sprawling and sleepy eyed camel of the dry desert In all our Sabbath schools, in all our Bible classes, in all our pulpits we need to brighten up our religious message with such Christ-like vivacity as we find in the text. I take down from my library tho biographies of ministers and writers of past ages, inspired and unin spired, who have done the most to bring souls to Jesus Christ, and I find that without a single exception they consecrated their wit and their humor to Christ. Elijah used it when he advised the Baalltes, as i they could not make their god respond; telling them to call louder as their god might be sound asleep or gone a hunt ing. Job used it when he said to his self-conceited comforters, “Wisdom will die with you.” Christ not only used it in the text, but when he iron ically complimented the putrified Pharisees, saying, “Tho whole need not a physician,” and when by one word he described the cunning of Herod, saying; “Go ye and tell that fox. ” Matthew Henry's commentaries from the first page to the last corus cated with humor as summer clouds with heat lightning. John Hunyan's writings are as full of humor as they are of saving truth, and there is not an aged man here who has ever read Pil grim's Progress who does not remem ber that while reading it he smiled as often as he wept Chrysostom, George Herbert, Robert South, John Wesley, George Whitefleld, Jeremy Taylor, Rowland Hill, Nettleton, George G. Finney, and all the men of the past who greatly advanced the kingdom of God consecrated their wit and their humor. to tho causo 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. It is a very short bridge be tween a smile and a tear, a suspension bridge from eyo to lip, and it is soon crossed over, and a smile is some J oai.iuu aa n bCitl . X lit?TO is as much religion, and I think a little more, in a spring morning than in a starless midnight. Religious work without any humor or wit in it is a banquet with a sido of beef, and that raw, and no condiments and no dessert succeeding. People will not sit down at such a banquet, liy all means remove all frivolity and all bathos and all vulgar ity—strain them out through the sieve of holy discrimination; but, on the other hand, beware of that monster which overshadows the Christian church today, conventionality, coming up from the great Sahara desert of ec clesiasticism, having on its back a hump of sanctimonious gloom, and ve hemently refuse to swallow that camel Oh, how particular a great many people are about the infinitesi mals, while they are quite reckless about the magnitudes. What did Christ say?. Did he not excoriate the people in his time who were bo 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 worse thing to have an unclean heart. How many people there nre in our time who are very anxious 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 stall 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 succes sion, not caring so much whether he comes from Apostle Paul or Apostle Judas. They have a way of measur ing a gnat until it is larger than a camel. Again: My subject photographs all those who are abhorent of small sins while they are reckless in regard to magnificent thefts. You will find many a merchant who, whilo 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 should make a mis take and send in a roll of bills 85 too much would dispatch a messenger in hot haste to return the surplus, yet who will go into a stock comnnnv tn which after a while he pet* control of the stock, and then waters the stock and make 8100,000 appear like *200, - 000. He only stole *100,000 by the operation. Many of the men of fort une made their wealth in that way. One of those men, engaged in such un righteous acts, that evening, the even ing of the very day when he watered the atook, will find a wharf-rat steal ing an evening newspaper from the basement doorway and will go out and catch the urchin by the collar, and twist the collar so tightly the poor fellow cannot say 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 miserable wretch.” And then the old stock gambler, with a voice they can hear three blocks, will cry out: “Police, police!” That 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 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 insectile in size, but palaces for crimes dromedar ian. No merev for sins animalcule in proportion, but great leniency for mas todon iniquity. Olt is time that we learned 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 land lackey behind. To steal a dollar is a gnat; to steal many thousands of dollars is a camel. There is many a fruit dealer who would not consent to steal a basket of peaches from a neigh bor s stall, but who would not scruple to depress the fruit market; and as long as I can remember we have heard every summer the peach crop of Mary land is a failure, and by the time the crop comes in the misrepresentation makes a difference of millions of dol lar*- A man who would not steal one peach basket steals 50.000 peach bas ket* Any summer go down into the Mercantile library, in the read ing rooms, and see the newspaper reports of the crops from all parts of the country, and their phraseology is very much the same, and the same men wrote them, methodically and in famously carrying out the huge lying about the grain crop from year to year and for a score of years. After a while there is a "corner” in the wheat mar ket, and men who had a contempt for a petty theft will burglarize the wheat bin of a nation and commit larceny upon the American corn crib. And men will sit in churches and in re formatory institutions trying to strain out the small gnats of scouudrclism, while in their grain elevators and in tlioir storehouses they are fattening huge camels which they expect after a whilo to swallow. Society has to be entirely reconstructed on this subject We are to find that a sin is inexcusable in proportion as it is great i know in our time the tendency is to charge religious frauds upon good men. They say, "Oh, what a class o' frauds you have in the church of Qod in this day,” and when an eider of a church, or a deacon, or a minister of the gospel, or a superintendent of a Sabbath school turns out a delaulter, what display heads there are in many of the newspapers. Ureat primer type. Five-line pica. “Another Saint Ab sconded,” “Clerical Scoundrelism,” “Religion at a Discount,” “Shame on tho Churches,” while there are a thousand scoundrels outside the church to where there Is one inside the church, and the misbehavior of those wiio never see the inside of a church is so great it is enough to tempt a man to become a Christian to get out of their company. Hut in ail circles, religious and irre ligious, the tendency is to excuse sin in proportion as it is mam moth. Even John Milton, in his l*ara djse Lost, while he condemns Satan, gives such a grand description of him you have hard work to suppress your admiration. Oh, this straining out of small sins like gnats and gulping down great iniquities like carnets. This subject does not give the pic ture of one or two persons, but it is a gallery in which thousands of people may see tlieir likenesses. For instance all those people, who, while they would not rob their neighbor of a farthing, ti nnrnnt-i o tn f tl.. X _ ure of tho public. A man has a house to sell and he tells his neighbor it is worth $20,000. Next day tho assessor comes around and the owner says it is worth $15,000. The government of the United States took off tho tax from person:!! incomes among other reasons because so few people would tell the truth, and many a man with an in come of hundreds of dollars a day mado statements which seemed to imply he was about to be handed over to the overseer 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 watches from Geneva, Switzerland, telling tho cus tom house officer on the wharf, “There is nothing in that trunk but wearing apparel,” and putting a flve-dollar gold piece in his hand to punctuate 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, strain ing out all the inaccuracies of speech with a tine sieve of literary criticism, while through their conversation go slander and innuendo and profanity and falsehood larger than a whole caravan of camels, while they might bettor fracture every law "of the language and shock their intellectual taste, and better let every verb seek in vain for its nominative, amd every noun for its government, and every preposition lose its way in the sen tence. and adjectives and participles and pronouns get into a grand riot worthy of the Fourth ward cn election day than to commit a moral inaccuracy, ltettor to swallow a thousand gnats than one camel. ' 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 to keep their eyes on others and growl. They are full of suspicions. They wonder if that man is not dishonest, if that mim is not unclean, if there is not some thing wrong about the other man. They are always the first to hear of uuyLuiug wrung. \ uiiurcs are always the first to smell carrion. They are self-appointed detectives. I lay this down as a rale without any exception, that those people who have the most faults themselves are most merciless in their watching1 of others. From scalp of head to sole of foot they are full of jealousies and hypercrilicisins. They spend their life bunting for musk rats and mud turtles instead of hunting for Uocky 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 upside down. Twenty faults of their own do not hnrt them half so much as one fault of somebody else. Their neighbors’ im perfections are like gnats and they strain them out; their own imperfec tions are like camels and they swallow them. Brea- lug It Gently.

Bov tlae Killers of a Gamekeeper In Iro* land Saved Tlieir Necks. “See that man -in the cprnct of the Jar?” said a gentleman to a Boston Globe man in a Back Bav car one even ing last week. “Look him oven quick ly, for he will get out at the next stop.” i'he man referred to was of medium height, well dressed, had a determined expression, and would pass as a busi ness man. “That man,” continued the speaker, “figured in one of the most sensational murders ever committed in Ireland, and he escaped by one of the cleverest tricks known to the human mind. I refer to the shooting affray that took place on Lord Clifton’s estate in a place called Brandon Hill, County Kilkenny, Aug. 7, 1888, when the poachers and five gamekeepers came together, and before they separated one member of each party was stretch ed on the field dying. “One of the gamekeepers who pur sued the poachers was more venture some than the rest and started out in advance of his companions. After wandering about for an hour he was startled by a handsome bird dog bounding toward him. A moment later the dog lay struggling at his feet with a handful of buckshot in his head and breast. The discharge of the gun attracted one of the poachers named Pat Burns, who emerged from the cover, gun in hand, his face covered with a mask. , “Burns asked: ‘Did you shoot that dog?’ Welch replied: ‘Yes, “and if you don’t look out I will also shoot you.’ Burns did not scare worth a cent, but bent down on one knee and examined the dog’s wounds. When lie got up Welch had a bead on him. YVelch was about to pull the trigger oi his gun when a report rang out in the bushes near by and W*elch, the game keeper, was lying on the ground with a load of shot in his head. “The noise attracted other game keepers, who took it for granted that Burus was the mau who had shot theii comrade, and they at once opened lire nn him n t »xf K<ii the blood was running from his wounds and 100 yards distant lie fell from ex haustion. A rapid exchange of shots followed and the poachers were driven bjick. The keepers gave up the chase to care for their fallen comrade,Welch who was in awful agony. Burns, the wounded poacher, would probably have survived, but one of the keepers pulled the bandage off his wounded leg, and he lived only an hour, having bled to death. Welch, the keeper, died at the end of the eighth day. “Kilkenny jail was crowded with sus pects a week after the shooting took place. After the shooting the poach ers took to the mountains. A surgeon was called to vaccinate a child in the neighborhood. The poachers kepi watch of the child, and when t he prop er time came took the virus, and aftei scraping the llesh around their shot wounds they inoculated themselves The result was the shot-wounds wort completely covered with cowpoj marks. The poachers were finally ar rested and lodged in Kilkennny jail. When the wound's on their arms were discovered experts were called in tc examine them, but after a most crit ical examination lasting all day the men were released. “That man I pointed out to you,* continued the speaker, “is ono of the two men wiio evaded justice so clever ly. I came to this country six month later than ho did and was astonished to find him engaged in a lucrative business.” Sent llhn a Cutting Note.

She never “received" with her royal husband. When he gave a ball she could only look through the lattice. But she gave audience con stantly to women, talking French only and exhibiting both charming manl ners and a bright mind. In 1889 she was described, by one who saw her, as 81 years old, and com plaining that she was “getting fat and very old’’—“a pomegranate face, still lovely enough, in a slightly heavy way, with liquid brown eyes, a pretty pout-lag mouth, and a dimple in the chin—unmistakably, however, a double chin."
