THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. MONDAY - MARCH '28. 1892.
THE WIT OF CHfilST.
It Puts to Shame Preachers Who
Allow Their Hearers to Sleep.
BIG THEFTS WORSE THIN SMALL
The Moral Gnats Ton Strain Out and the
Camels Ion Shallow.
A PREFACE OX THE XBW TABERNACLE
rsrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.
Brooklyn, March 27. Dr. Talmage
created a stir in the Brooklyn Tabernacle
this morning by making the following an
nouncement: I am linppy to say that as a church, after
the exhausting work or bnildtnir three im
mense ohurches, two or thein having been
destroyed by fire a burden never before put
uron the back of any congregation we an;
no financially In smooth waters. Arrange
ments have been made by which our pecu
niary difficulties are fully adjusted. Our
income exceeds our ont-io. and this church
will be yours and your children's hereafter.
When I came to Krooklyn I came to a small
church with a bis indebtedness. We now
worship In this, the largest Protestant
church in America, and financially, as a
consrcgatlon, wo are worth overana ncyond
all indebtedness, considerably more than
$150,000. 1 ask you to ribe, and led by cornet
and orsan, tojoln in sinjrin-,
Fratse God from whom all blessings flow.
The sermon this morning was an on
slaught on formalism in religion, and the
text -was: "Ye blind guides, who strain at
a gnat and swallow a camel. "
Wisdom Condensed In Proverbs.
A proverb is oompact wisdom, knowledge
in chunks, a library In a sentence, the elec
tricity or manv clouds discharged in one
bolt, a river put through a mill race. When
Christ quotes the proverb of the text, ho
means to set lorth the ludiorous behavior of
thoc who make a great bluster about small
si'is and have no appreciation of sreat ones
In my text u sumll insect anda large quad
ruDed are bronsht into comparison a gnat
tu'd a caniel. You have in museum or on
the desert seen tiio latter, a sreat awkward.
sprawling creature, with back two stories
hih, and stomaeli having a collection of
reservoirs for desert travel, an animal for
bidden to the Hebrews as food, and in manv
literatures entitled "the ship or the desert."
The gnat -piten of in the text is in the grub
form. Ir is born in pool or pond, alter a few
w eeks becomes a chrj salis and then after-a
few "li:ys becomes the irnat 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 ray text is a misprint and
ousrht to read 'strain out a mint."
My text shows you the prince of incon
sis'encios. A man after loi g observation
has formed the suspicion that in a cup of
water lie is about to drink, tbers is a grub or
ihr-rrundpareut of a smac. He goes and gets
a sieve or strainer. Hr takes the water and
pours it through the s'.eve in the broad light,
llesavs. "1 wocld rather do anything al
most than drink this water until this larva
be extirpated."
TlioText taeUIy Exp'ainnd.
This water is brought under inquisition.
The experiment is successful. The wntcr
rushes through the sieve and leaves against
the side of the sieve the grub or gnat. Then
the man carefully removes the insect and
dnnksthe water in placidity. But going
out one day, a'ld hungry, he devours a "ship
of the desert," the camel, which the Jews
w ere forbidden to eat. The gastronomer has
nocbmpunctionsof conscience. 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 the dromedary disap
rears foiever. He strained out a gnat, he
swallowed a camel.
While Christ's audience were yet smiling
at theappositenessand -.lit of his illustra
tiontor smile they did iu church, unless
they were too stupid to understand the
hvp'eibole Christ practicallv said to them.
"That is you " I'unctilious about small
tliinjr-; reckless about affairs of great mag
nitude. No subject ever withered under a
surgeon's knife more bitterly than did the
I'hanees under Christ's scalpel of truth.
As an anatomist will take a human body to
piece- and put them 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 inspection for
all Generations to examine. Those Phari
sees thought that Christ would flatter them
and compliment them, and how they must
have w tithed under the red-hot words as He
Faid: "Ye fcols, ye wtiited sepulchres, ye
blind guides which strain out a gnat aud
swallow a camel."
"Worse to Meep Than Smile in Church.
There arc in our day a great manv snats
strained out and a preat many camels swal
lowed, 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 ministers of
the Gospel are photographed in the txt who
are very scrupulous about the conventional
ities oJ i elision; but put no particular stress
upon mattarsot vast importance. Church ser
vices ought to lw grave and solemn. There
is no room for f rivolitv in religious convoca
tion. But there are illustrations, and there
nro liyper'.olcs like that of Christ iu the text
that "will irradiate with smiles anyintelli
geiii auditory.
T.ie u are men like those blind guides of
tho text who advocate only those things in
religious rervico which dra v." the comers of
tho mouth down, and denounce all those
things w hich liavo a tendency to draw the
corners or the mouth up, and those men will
co to installations and to presbyteries and
to coherences and to associations, thoir
pockets lull ot line sieves to strain out the
gnat-, while in their own churolies at home
every Sunday there are CO people sound
asleep. They make their churches a great
dormitory and their somniferous sermons
aiea cradle, and the drawled-out hymns a
liuiabv, while some wakeful soul in a pew
w ith her Ian keeps the flics off unconscious
per-ons approximate. Now, I say it is worse
to sleep in church than to smile in church,
for the latter implies at least attention.
w hile the lormer implies the indifference of
the hearers and the stupidity of the speaker.
o Use for lu!l PreachPrs.
In old age or fiom physical infirmity, or
fmm long watching with the sick, drowsi
ness will sometimes overpower one; but
w hen a ministerof the Gospel looks off upon
an audience and finds healthy and intel
ligent people struggling with drow siness, it
is time for him to give out the doxology or
pronounce the benediction. Tho great fault
ot church services to-day is not too much
vivacity, but too much somnolence. The
one is an irritatmg gnat that may be easily
Ftrained out; the otner is a great, sprawling
nun sleepy-eved camel on tho dry desert.
In all our Sabbath schools, in all our Bible
clasesin all our pulpits we need tobiichten
up our religious me-sase with such Christ
like vivacity as we find in the text.
I take do n from my library the biog
aphies of ministers and writers of past
aires, inspired aud uninspired, who have
done the most to bring souls to Jesus Christ,
and I find that without a single exception
tl.ev consecrated their wit and their humor
to Christ.
Oh, how particular a great many people
are about tiio infinitesimals while thev are
quite reckless about tho magnitudes. J
u hat did Christ saji xi;u no not excoriate
the people in his time who were so cai etui
to wash their hands befoie a meal but did
not wash thoir hearts? It is a bad thing to
have unclean hands; it is a worse thiug to
have an unclean heart. How many people
there are in our time who are very anxious
that alter their death they shall be buried
with their feet toward the Eist, and not at
all anxious that during their whole file they
should face in the light direction.
Rig -.ins and Little Ones.
Again: My subject photographs all thoso
who are abhorent or small sins while they
are reckless m regard to magnificent thefts.
You will find many a merchant who, while
he is so careful that he would not take a
yard of cloth or a spool or cotton from the
counter without payiuir lor it, and w ho if a
b-mk cashier should make a mistake and
send in a roll of bills $5 too much would
dispatch a messenger in hot haste to return
the surplus, yet who will go into a stock
cempanv in which after awhile he gets con
trol or the stock, and then waters the stock
mid make $100,000 appear like S-MO.OOO. Ho
onlv stole $100 000 by the operation. Many
or the men ot fortune made their -wealth In
that way.
Prisons ror sins Insectile in size, but
palaces for crimes dromedarian. Xo mercy
lor sins animalcule in proportion, but great
leniency for mastodon iniquity.
It is time that we learn in America that
sin is not excusable in proportion as it de
clares large dividends and has outriders in
equipage. To steal a dollar is a gnat; to
steafmany thousands or dollars is a camel.

Tho Tendency to Cry Kotrn Good Men.
I know In our tlma tho tondency Is to
ohnrgo religious frauds upon good men.
They say, "Oh, what n class of fronds you
have In tho Church of God In-tUU day," and
whoa an older of a church, or a deacon, or a
minister of tho Gaspol, or a Huperlntendent
of a Sabbath KChool turns out a defaulter,
what display heads thero uro in many of the
newspapers. Great prltnortypc. Five-line
pica. "Another Saint Absconded," "Clerical
fcconndrollsin," "RelUflon at n Discount,"
"Shumo on the Churches;" while there are
1 000 scoundrels outsldo tho Church to where
there 19 one inside the church, and the mis
behavior of those who never see the Inside
of a church is so great It Is enough to tempt
a man to become a Qhilstian to get out of
their company. But In all circles, religious
and irreligious, the tendency is to excuse sin
in proportion as it Is mammoth.
Described in the text are all those who are
particular never to break the law of gram
mar, and who want all their language an
elegant specimen of syntax, straining out
all the inaccuracies or "speech with a fine
sieve of literary criticism, while through
their conversation go slander and Innuendo
andnrofanity and falsehood larger than a
w hole caravan of camels, when they might
better fracture every law of the language
and shock their intellectual taste, and bet
ter let cverv verb seek in vain for its noml
nativo, andevery noun for its government,
and every preposition lose its way in the
sentence, and adjectives and participles
and pronouns get into a grand riot worthy
of the Fourth ward on election day, than to
commit a moral inaccuracy.
The Mote and the Beam.
Such persons are also described In the text
who are very tnuoh 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 foel called upon to keep
their eyes on others and growl. Tboyare
full of suspicions. They wonder If that man
Is not dishonest, if that man Is not unclean,
if there is not something wrong about the
other man. They are always the first to hear
of auvthlng wrong. Vultures are always
the first to smell carrion. They are sell
appointed detectives.
r 1 lay this down as a rule withontany excep
tion, thai those people who have the most
faults themselves are most merciless in their
watching or others. From scalp of head to
sole of too: they are full of jealousies and
hypercriticisms. They spend their life in
hunting tor muskrats and mud turtles in
stead ot hunting tor Rocky Mountain eagles,
always for something mean instead of some
thing grand. They look at their neighbors'
lmpertections through a microscope and
their o n imperlections through a telescope
un-ide down. Twentv faults or their own
do not hurt them half so much as one fault
of somebody else.
But lest any might think they escape tho
scrutiny of the text, I have to tell you that
we all come tinder the divine satlro Yben
we make the questions of time more piom
iucnt than the questions of eternity.
Overrating ths Present's Importunes.
Come now, let us all go into tho con
fessionaL Are not all tomptcd to make tho
question, where shall I live now: greater
than the question, where shall I llvo
forever: How shall I get more dollars here:
greater than the question, how shall I lay
up ti ensures in heaven: the question, how
shall I pay my debts to man: greater than j
iue quesnuu, now suuii j. iiieet my uuugu
tions to G-od: the question, how shall I gain
tho world: greater than tho question, what
if I lose my -oul: the question, why did God
let sin come into the woild: greater than
the question, how shall I get it extirpated
fiom my nature? tho question, what shall I
do with the 20 or 40 or 70 years ot my sub
lunar existence?gi eater than the question,
what shall I do with the millions of cycles
of my post-terrestrial existence:
What an ado about things here. What poor
preparation lor a gi eat eternity. As though
a minnow were larger than a behemoth, as
though a swallow took wider circuit thau an
albatross,as though' a nettle were taller tbun
a Lebanon cedar, as though a guut 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 of awtul catastrophe to
those who make the questions ot time
greater than the questions or the future, tho
oncoming, over-shadoning future O Eter
nity! Eternity! Eternitv.
H0HE SECURITIES AND MONEY.
Features of the Past Week's Business on
'Change.
The stock market was more notable for
strength during the past week than Tor
activity, albeittransactions made a very re
spectable aggregate. Indisposition of hold
ers to offer the goods most wanted was one
of the features. Byassumin; this attitude,
they demonstrated satisfaction with the
outlook.
Closing prices compared with those of
the previous Saturday, show gains
almost without oxcoptlon ifi the active list.
Tarmers' Deposit National Bank advanced
S50 a share, reaching the highest point in its
career. Pipeago improved , Philadelphia
Gas, 1; Wheeling, 1 Luster. Electric, 1
Switch and Signal, Airbrake, 2, and
Underground Cable. i on a dividend and
active demand for the stock. Central Trac
tion was held 2J higher. Henry M. Long
kept Pleasant Valley about steady. The
only stocks that tell back were Charticrs
Gas, i, and Citizens' Traction, .
Sales Saturday were b80 shares and $1,000
bond, as follow: Thitty Switch and Signal

Sales for the week were 4,763 shares, $15,000
bonds and $670 Electric scrip. Tho leaders
in activitv were Birmingham Traction and
Pleisant Valley.
While there were no radical denartures in
the local monetary situation during the
week, improvement In tho demand was
noted by nearly all of the banks. This re
lieved the pressure of idle funds to some
extent, but lett unemployed capital still un
comfortably plentiful. Regular lines were
satislactory. There was no oliange in the
rate, which ruled at 6 per cent. There was
very little shading. The Clearing House re

A Big Drop and Quick Recovery on Outside

The market was interesting and trading
the latter part of the week the best of the

was a sharp and quick rally. The close yes

FEATURES OF TRADE.
Fresh Garden Products From the Far
South in Large Supply
AND OLD STUFF FORCED 0DT.
Smoked Meats Are Eelatively Much Lower
Tnan Green Meats.
A BOSTON VIEW OP FOOrWEAE TRADE
Office of the Dispatch, )
Pittseceg, Saturday, March 28. (
In lines of general produce the week past
has developed few features worthy of note.
Fresh garden stuff from the Gulf of Mexico
begins to come in freely, and last season's
products are forced out. The first Florida
strawberries of the season are to the front
in the past week. New cabbage, asparagus
and egg plant from the samo source are also
offered in tho past few days. Cabbage and
onions have been sharply advanced in price
since the week opened. Potatoes are In lib
eral supplyand markets are slowat thesame
old prices as have prevailed since the year
opened.
In lines of tropical fruit the movement has
been steadily upward ror the week past.
Choice stock is scarce and higher. All the
week there has been a scarcity of high
grade butter in this market; and while the
advance has been slight, demand is more
than equal to supply. The cold weather of
the first half of the week stimulated prices
in the egg market, and eggs were sold above
15c per dozen. Recent weather has been
milder, and prices have drifted back to
where they were last Saturday.
Green and Smoked Meats.
Hog products are relatively lower in price
than hogs, and it is only a question of a
short time when there must be an advanco
in price of bams, shoulders and breakfast
bacon. S'ince the beginning of March green
meats could not bo bought and smoked at a
profit, and only such packers as are well up
at prices which prevailed in the early part
of the year can now sell at a profit.
Green hams were sold in Chicago yester
day at EJc to 8c ner pound, and green
shoulders at 5c to 5c. At these prices it
would be impossible to sell smoked products
here at a profit.
The influences at work adverse to trade in
provision lines are bad weather, roads and
the abstinence from meats Incident to the
Lenten season. March Is uniformly the dull
month in this line, aud there is little fear
among our packers but that their goods will
be wanted later on at much better prices.
Hldss and Calfskins.
Heavy steer hides uro weak and slow at
the doellno noted a week as;o. ButTs are
fairly steatly. Calfskins uro In good demand
and Arm, notwithstanding tho Increase In
receipts. Sheepskins are steady with an up
ward tendonoy. The Increase or wool on
tho sheepskins offered of late has resulted
In higher prices.
Following are prices paid by dealers and
.tanners for stock delivered hero:
Xo. 1 green salted steers, 00 lbs and over.
N'o. 1 green Baited cows, all weights ,
No. I gretn salted hides, 40 to 60 lbs ,
Xo. 1 (troen Baited hides, 25 to 40 lbs ,
Xo. 1 green salted balls
Xo. 1 green salted calfskins
Xo. 1 green salted veal kips
Xo. 1 preen salted runner kips
sheepskins, fresh slaughtered
Tallow, prime ,
Reduction for Xo. 2 stock, 1 cents per lb
on steers and light hides; lcent on bulls and
2 cents on calfskins.
The Boot and Shoo Outlook.
Tho Boston Herald has this to say of the
situation In lines of footwear:
"Tharo are a good many buyers of boots
and shoes in Boston at present, the number
having increased of late. It is plain that
theyaro here for goods,nd that they are
placing orders. The conditions or trade all
over the country, already pointed out, are
rather better on the whole, and it begins to
look as though the volume of boots and
shoes made this season would be larger than
was feared earlier in the season. It is true
that the dull condition of the South in re
gard to trade has not improved much, but
o'her-parts of the 'country have begun to
sftowsome improvement.
""The demand is excellent for special feat
ures in boots and shoes, and the leaders in
this class of trade are havinr all of the busi
ness they can attend to. The features are
strong and pronounced and of a nature that
pleases the public, and the jobbers are con
vinced that tbn goods must be had. The
special makes have really more to do with
the leather and the quality of it than with
the stvle of the goods, and this Is a feature
that is bound to be a taking one with the
public. Anvthing that tends to insure the
qnalltvorthc lonthoro which boots and
shoes are constructed is sure to bo popular
with the wearers of tho good."

SATURDAY'S PRODUCE MARKETS
CHICAGO A 2-cent tumble in wheat was
part of the entertainment on the Board of
Trade. Corn, too, was full of interest,
and Jumped up a full ya. In wheat opening
trades were at about lo decline, and the
slide froin there down was almost without
check. There was a reaction from fOJo to
80JJc, followed by another decline to 80c
sellers, but upon an attempt to corner 100,000
bushels of short wheat, accompanied by a
similar break for freedom on 25,000 bushels
at the last-named price without an imme
diate response from sellers, the crowd ran
the price up to Slc After touching 810
it again sold Off and closed ot 80Jc.
The coin shorts are getting very nervous
over rumors that strong parties are working
to force a squeeze of the May shorts. While
other markets are heavv, corn has moved
up trom around 3Sc to better than 40c for
Mav. May started around 39c, with sales
at SOJge, possiblv 393c; dronned on the enrlv
selling to 39'39Kc: sold 39?ic to 39c, and
then up to 40Jc betore 1 o'clock; getting an
other life alter 1 to 40c, and closed 40tc.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as corrected
by John M. Oakley & Co.. 45 Bixtli street, members

Strongly Supported Eailroad Bonds

New Yor.K, March 28. Tho stock market
to-day was quiet for tho general list, but
specially active for a few shares, as usual of
late. While the early dealings presented a
comparatively firm front, the advances of
note were all In a few stocks, and the later
dealings were marked by severe pressure
to sell, which not only wiped ont the
the few early advances, but, in the weaker
shares, caused material losses, which an un

powerless to check.
The opening was generally at material

change in temper, and the market finally
c'osed unsettled and generally weak at or
near the lowest prices of the day. The ma
larial concessions were Bichmond and West
Point, preferred, 4: Sugar, and North
ern Pacific, preferred, 1 per cent.

but presented the same unsettled and ir
regular temper as usual of late. The total

Bichmond and West Point 5s contributed
9319,000 and the Beading 3s $105,000. These

GOETHE'S VISIT TO CARLSBAD.
His Life Greatly Prolonged.
There is no doubt that the life of
the great poet was greatly prolonged
by drinking the waters ofthe Sprudel
Spring. In our day we have the
Sprudel Spring brought to us in the
form of Salt, which Is obtained by
evaporation from the waters of Carls
bad. The Natural Carlsbad .Sprudel Salt
(powder form) is in no sense a mere
purgative, "but is an alterative and
eliminative remedy which dissolves
tenacious bile, allays irritation and
removes obstructions by aiding na
ture. It acts soothingly and without
pain, and is, therefore, far superior
than pills, purgatives and other rem
edies. The genuine has the signa
ture of EISNER & "kENDELSON
