If n man have the )-rane of Ood In his heart

ink' sun, and that the moss that creeps upthe
sliie of the rock attracts Ood's attention u.s

My brother. yoti cannot lo called to do any
thing so lii4ignttlcuiit but Ood will help you
In it. If you urn u mtherman, Christ will
etuud by you us He did by Himou when ho
dragged Oimnesaret. Are you u drawer of
water? He will bo with you as nt thn well
curb wtiuu talking with the Samaritan
womun. Are you a custom house offloer?
ChrLst will coll you as He did Matthew at the
receipt of custom. Tho man who has ouly a
duy't, wages in his pocket as certainly needs
relUiou as he who rattle the keys of a bank
and could ubsuond with a hundred thousand
hard dollars. Aud yet there ore men who
profmit the religion of Jesus Christ who do
not tiring the religion of the gospel Into
their ordinury occupations nui employ
ment. There aro In tho churches of this doy men
Who ittietn very devout on the HabbatU who
are far from that during the week. A coun
try unTchitnt urrives in this city, nnd he goes
Into tliu store to buy goods of a man who
.pride. religion, but lius no grace In his
heart. The country merchant Is swindled.
He is too exhausted to go houin that week ;
he turriea lu town. Ou Mibtmtti ho goes to
some church for consolation, nud what Is his
nimizninent to And that the man who currlos
round the poor box is the vory one who

Tliut man does not reitlizo that Oo I knows
viry dishonest dollar he luu in his pocket,
that Hod Is looklug right through the Iron

Judgment is coming, aud that "us the par
tridge sitteth on eggs ami hutchutu thorn uot,
o ho that gettetn riches aud not by right
hall leave them lu the midst of hlsduys, and
ut his end shall be a fool." Ilut how many
there are who d.i not bring the religion ol
'Jirlat iuto their every duy oecuputlou. They
think religion is for huudays.

"Oh.n ssys aome on. "if I had a rreat
aphei. I would do that. If I could have
lived In the time of M.srtln Luther, If I could
have been Paul a traveling companion. If I
had tnmm groat and r-eoumllii work to do.
then I should put Into application all that
you aay." I must admit that tha romanea
and knight errantry have one ont of llfn.
1 here to but very little of It left In the world.
The temple of Rouen have twwn changed
Into amtthlns. The classic mansion at Ash
land has been rut up Into walking atlcks.
The musea have retreatmt before the eml
uratt's ax and the trapper's gun, and Ver
rnonter might goovnr the Allegheny and the
Rocky mountains and see neither an Oread
nor a Pylph.
The rove where the gods used to dwell
have been cut up for firewood, and tho man
who to looking for great sphere and great
scene for action will not llnd them. And
Vet there are Alps to settle and there are
Hellespont to wlm, and they are In com
mon life. It to absurd for you to say that you
would serve Ood If vou had a great sphere.
If yon do not serve Htm on a small scale, you
would not on a large scale. If you cannot
stand the bit of a midge, how could you en
dure the breath of a ban 1 1 ink?
Our nntlnnal government .doc not think it
belittling to put a tax on pins and a tax on
buckle and a tax on shoe. The Individual
taxe do not amount to mueh, but In the
aggregi.tr to millions and millions of dollars.
And I would have you. oh Christian man, put
a high tariff on every annoyance nnd vexs
tinnthatcomeathroughyoursoul. This might
not amount to much In slugle cohcs, but in
the aggregate It would l a great rcvouue of
spiritual strength and satisfaction.
A bee can sunk honey even out of a nttle,
and If you have the grace of Ood In your
heart you can get sweetness out of that
which would otherwise Irritate and annoy.
A relurned missionary told me that n com
pany of adventurers, rowing up the Oanire.
were stung to death by file that Infest that
region at certain seasons. I have seen thn
earth strewn with the ciix.-hmiw of men slain
hy Insect annoyances. The only way to get
prepared for th great troubles of life Is to
conquer theenamall trouble.
rlupposn a soldiershould say, "This Is only
a skirmish, and them are only a few cnemins
I won't load my gun i wait until I get Into
some irre'it general engagement." That
man Is a coward and would be a coward lu
any sphere. If a man does not serve his
country in a skirmish, be will not In a
Waterloo. And If you are not faithful golmt
out nirainst the single-handed mlifortiine of
this life you would not lie faithful when
great disasters with their thundering
nrtillery came rolling down over the soul.
. This brings mo to another point. Wn
ought to bring the religion of Jeeus Christ
Into our trials. If we have a bet pavement, If
we lose our fortune, If some great trouble
blast like the tenift, then we go to Ood for
comfort, but yesterday In tho little annoy
ance of your store or office, or shop or fac
tory, or hanking house, did you go to Ood
for comfort You did not.
My friends, you nei to take the religion
of the Lord Jesus Christ Into the most ordi
nary trials of your life. You have your mis
fortuues, you have your anxieties, you have
your vci it ions. "Oh." you say, "they don't
hape my character. Since I lout my child,
since I have lost my property, I have been n
very different mau from what I was." My
brother, It Is the little annoyances ot your
life that aro souring your disposition, clip
ping your moral character aud making you
less and less of a man.
You go iuto an artist's studio. You sen
lilm making a piece ot sculpture . You sav,
"Why don't you strike harder?" With lils
mallet and Ills ehls d It.. go.s click, click,
click ! nnd you can hardly sen from stroke to
stroko thut them Is any impression mode upon
the stone, and yet the work to going on. You
my, "Why don t you strike harder" -Oh f"
he replies, 'til.ft wjuld shatter the statue. I
must make U Intftto way, stroke by stroke."
And he eontluues rfa by wiHMnd jmPth
until after awhile every mu that eaters tbe
studio to fascinated.
Well. I find Ood dealing with some man.
He to shaping him for time aud shaping lilra
for eternity. I say, "O Lord, why not with
one tremendous blow of calamity shape that
man for the next world?" Ood says. "That's
not tbe way I deal with this man i It lsstroke
after stroke, annoyance utter annoyance, ir
ritation after Irritation, and nfter awhile he
will bo done anil a glad spectacle for angola
and men."
Not by one gnat stroVe. but by ten thou
Rind little strokes of misfortune are meu
lifted for heaven. You know that large for
tunes can soon be s 'attend by being paid out
in small Minis ot money, and tun largest estate
of Christian character is nometiuics entirely
lost hy these small depletions.
We must tiring the religion of Jesus
Christ to help us In thwe little unuoy
nncos. lo uot say that anything is too
inslKUlllcAtit to ufTeet your character.
Hats may sink ship. One Inciter
mutch may deetroy a temple. A queen
got her death by smelling of n poisoned
rose. The scratch of a sixpenny mil
may give you thn io-kjaw. Coluaibiis, liy
asking for a piece of bread and a drink of
water nt n Franciscan convent, came to the
discovery of a new world. And them Is a
great connection b-tween trlllcs uud im
mensities, between uotliiugt a.i.i every
things. Do you not suppose that Ool car ts for
your insignificant sorrows? Wiiy. my Irion. N,
there is uothlng liislgiiillcaut In your life.
How dare you take th rcHp.iubillty of say.
lug that there is? Do you not know that
the whole uiilverso Is not ashamed to take
care of ouo violet? I say ; "What ate you
doing down there lu the grass, poor little
violet ' Nobody know you urn hern. Ar t
you not afraid nights? You will din with
thirst. Noho ly cams for you. You will
suffer ; you will perish." "No, says a star,
"I'll watch over it to-night. "No," says
the oloud. "I'll give it drink." "No," says
the sun, "I'll warm It In my bosom." Aui
then the win I rises and comes bending
down thn grain and sounding its
psalm through the forest, and ( say,
"Whither away, O win I. on such swift
wing?" nnd it answers, "I am going to cool
the check of that violet." And then I sen
pulleys nt work in the sky, an 1 the oloud
urn drawiug water, and I say, "What urn you
doing there, O clouds?" They say, "Wo urn
drawing water for thut violet. And then I
look down Into the grass, aud I say, "Cttu it
lie thut Ood takes care ot a poor tliltii; like
you?" and tho answer comes up, "Yes, yes.
Ood clothes the grass of the Held, and He has
never forgotten me, a poor violet. Oh, my
friends. If the heavens Imnd down to sucu lu
sfgulllcttut ministry as that, I t ill you Ool

Plato had a fable which I have now nearly
forgotten, but it ran somethlu like this i He
said spirits of the other world came back to
this world to Hud a bo ly nnd llnd a sphere of
work. One spirit came aud to jktlie body ot
a kiug nud did his work. Another spirit came
nud took the bo ly of a poet and did his work.
After awhile I'iyssjs came, and be said
"Why, all the flne bodies are taken, nud all
the grand work to taken. Thereto nothlug
left for me." And some oue replied. "All,
the best ons has been left fur you." Llyssea
siid, "What's thut?" And tho reply was,
"The body of a common man, doing a com
mon work aud for a common reword," A
good fflide tor the world and Just as goo J
fable for the church.
Hut. I remark again, we ought to bring the
religion of Jesus Christ Into our ordinary
blessings. Every autumn the l'residunt of
the United Htnte nnd the governorsmaks
proclamation, and we are c.iUed together In
our nburcbet to give thanks to Ood for Ills
goodness. Hut evory duy ought to betbanks
givlng day. We take most of the blessing
of life as a matter of counts. We have had
ten thousand blnsalngs this morning for
which we have not tbauked Ood. liofore the
night oome we will have a thousand mors
Metwinv yoa will never think ol mentioning
before Ood.
We must see a blind man led along by his
do before we learn what a grand thin it to
to bare one's eyesight. We must see a man
with Hf. Vitus' tlanco before w learn what a
grand thin it Is to have the use of our physi
cal energlm. We must see some soldier
crippled, limping along on hi crutch or his
empty coatsleev pinned up. beforr we learn
what a grand thin It I to have tbe nee ot
all our physical faculties. In other words,
wa are so stupid that nothing hut th misfor
tune of others can wake us np to an appre
ciation of our common blessings.
We get on board a train and start for Ikm
tnn and come to Norwalk bridge, and tho
"draw" to oT and crash ! sroe the train.
Fifty lives dashed out. We reape. We
come home In reat excitement nnd rail our
friends around us, and they congratulate ns,
and we all knell down and thnnk Ood for our

for lloston. You rross that bridge at Nor
walk t you cross all the other bridge t you
get to iitMton In saMy. Then you return
home. Not an accident, not an alarm. No
thank.
In other words, you seem to lie more grate
ful when 60 people lose their live and you
get off than you are grateful to Ood when
you all get off and you ha ye no alarm at all.
Now. you ought to be thankful when you es
cape from accident, but more thnnklul when
they all escape. In the one ensn your grati
tude to somewhat selfish i In the other It to

Oh, these common mrrulc, those common
hliwnlngs, how little wn appreclatn them ami
how soon we forget them I Like the ox
urarlnif. with the clover up to Its eyes, like
the bird picking the worm out of the furrow
never thinking to thank O i l. who makes
the grass grow and who lve life to every
living thing from the nnlinalculte In the sijd
to the seraph on tho throne. Thanksgiving
on tho !17th of Nnvemlier, In the nutumn of
the year, but IdcteilnKS hour by hour nnd day
by day and no thanks at nil.
I compared our Indifference to the brute,
but perhaps I wronged the brute. tin not
know but that atnong Its other instincts it
may have an Inst met by which It recognlzi
the divine hand that feeds it. t tin not know
but that Ood to through tt holding commu
nication with what wn call "Irrational crea

low by tho water course chewing Its cud
looks very thankful, and who can tell how
much o.blrd menus by its eoni'.' Thn nmmu
of thn flowers smell like Incense, nnd thn
mist arising from the river looks like the
smoke of n morning sacrillce. on, that we
were as responsive
If you wem thrlsty nnd asked nio (or a
drink nnd I gave yoii'thls glass of water, your
common IimHiM would mply. " Chunk you."
And yet, how many chalice of mercy we get
hour by hour from the hand of the Lord, our
Fattier and our King, and we ilo not even
think to say, "Thank you." Mom JiiNt to
men than we nm Just to Ood.
Who thinks ol thanking (lo.l for the wnter
gushing up lu the well, lonmlng In thn cas
cade, laughing over the rock, puttering in
the shower, clapping its huiult In the sea?
Who thinks to thank Ood for that? Who
thinks to thnnk Ood for the air, thn fountain
of life, thn bridge of Hunhcnma, the path of
souud. the grent fan on a hot summer dov?
Who thinks to thank Ool lor this wonderful
physical organism, this sweep ot vision, tills
ehtiun of harmony struck Into thn car,
this criinsou tide rolling through arteries nnd
veins, this drumming of thn heart ou the
march of Immortality?
I convict myself nn I I convict everyone
of you while I nay thcrtn things, that wn

heavens would withhold their rain and the
earth wonl l era.'k open un lor our feet, and
deiolation aud sickness and won would stulk
across thn earth, and tho whole earth would
become a place of ekulls.
Oh. my friends, let us wake up to nn ap
