Text: “Ye blind guides, who strain at a
gnat, and swallow a camel.” -Matthew
xiii., NH.
A proverb is compeet wisdom, knowledge
in chunks, a library in a sentence, the elec.
tricity of many clouds discharged in one bolt,
a river put through a millracs., When Christ
quotes the proverb of the text He means to
set. forth the ludicrous behavior of those
who make a great bluster about small sins
and have no appreciations of great ones,
goat and a camel. You hava in museum or
on the desert seen the latter, a great awk
ward, sorawling creature, with back two
stories high and stomach having a collection
of reservoirs for desert travel, an animal
forvidden to the Jews us food, and in many
literatures entitled *‘the ship of the desert.”
The gnat spoken of in the text is in the
grub form. Itis born in pool or pond, after
a few weeks becomes a chrysalis, and then
after a few days becomes the gnat as we
recognize it. But the insect spoken of in the
inhabits the water—for my text isa misprint
and ought to read “strain out a gaat.”
My text shows you the princa of inconsis
tencies, A man after long observation has
formed the suspicion that in a cuo of
he is about to drink there is a grub or the
grandparent of a gnat., He goes and gets a
sieve or a strainer, He takes the water and
most than drink this water until this larva
be extirpated.” This wate brought un-
der inquisition. The experinent is success-
ful,
leaves against the side of ths sieve the grub
or gnat.
Then the man carefully removes the insect
and drinks the water in p.acidity. But go.
ing out one day and hungry, be
“ship of the desert,” the came!, which the
Jews were forbidden to eat. ‘Tue gastrono-
mer has no compunctions of conscience, He
suffers from no indigestion. He puts the
is
upper jaw over the hump of
back, and gives one swallow and the drome-
dary disappears forever. He strained out a
gnat, he swallowed a camel.
While Christ's audience were yot smiling
at the oppositenessand wit o
—for smile they did in churcu, unless
were too stupid to understand the hyperbole
—Christ practically said to them. ‘That is
you.” Punctilious about smail things; reck-
less about affairs of great vane, oy No
subject over withered under a strgzeon's
knite more bitterly than djd the Pharisees
under Christ's scalpel of truth,
Asap anatomist will take a human body

Pharisees thought that Christ would flat-
ter them and compliment them, and how
they must have writhed under the red hot
words as He seid, “Ye fools, ye whited

out a gnat and swallow a camel.”

solemn. There is no room for frivolity in
religious convocation. But there are illus

In old age, or from physical infirmity, or

classes, in all our pu!pits we need to brighten
up our religious message with suca Christ.
