Neither does the corn like the corn
thresher, but after it has been threshed
and winnowed il has a great deal better
opinion Of winnoWing-mills and corn
threshers.
MY SUBJECT TEACHES
US that God keeps trial on US until we
let go. The farmer shouts "whoa!' to
his horses as soon as the grain has
dropped from the stalk. The farmer
comes with his fork and losses up the
straw, and be sees that the straw has
let 90 the grain, and the grain is thor
ouRhly threshed. So GOD. Shifting
rod and turning wheel, both cease as
soon as We let 90. We hold on to this
world with its pleasures, and riches,
and emoluments, and our knuckies are
80 firmly set that it seems rs II we
could hold on forever.
So with money. We thought II a
man had a competency he was safe for
all the future; but we have learned
that a mortgage may be defeated by an
unknown previous incumberance; that
signing your name on the back OF note
may be your death-wGrrant; that new
tariff may change the current OF trade;
that a man may be rich to-day and poor
tomorrow. And God, by all these mis-
fortunes, is trying to loosen our grip;
but still we hold on. God smltes us
with a staff; but we hold on. And be
strikes US with a rod; but we hold on;
and be sends over the iron wheel Of
misfortune; but we hold on.
On, let go! Let go! The best for
tunes are in heaven. There are no alb
sconding cashiers from that bank, no
failing In promises TO pay. Set your
affections on things above, not on things
on earth. Let go! Depend upon it
that God will keep upon you the staff or
the rod or the iron wheel until you do
let 20.
Another thing my text teaches MS IS,
shat Christian sorrow is going TO have
sure terminus. My text says: BREAD
corn Is bruised, because he will not be
ever threShing it Blessed be God for
that Pound away, o fail. Turn on,
o wheel. Your work will soon be done.
He will not be ever threshing it"
Now the Christian has almost as much
use in the organ for the stop tremulent
as be has for the trumpet. But after
awhile be will put the last dirge into
the portfolio forever. So much Of US as
IS wheat will be separated from so much
as is chat, and there will be no
MORE NEED OF POUNDING.
Oh, my hearers, is there not enough
salye in this text to make plaster large
enough 20 heal all your wounds? When
a child is hurt, the mother is very apt
10 say to il: Now, it will soon feel bet
ter" And that is what God says when
He unbOsOms all the trouble in the hush
Of His promise: weeping may endure
for a night, but joy cometh in the morn
ing" You may leave your pocket hand
kerchief sOpping wet with tears on your
death pillow, but you will go up absO-
lutely sOrrOwless. They will wear black;
you will wear white. Expresses for
them; palms for you.
You will say: 'Is 10 possible that am
here? Is this heaven? Am 1 so pure
now that l will never do anything
wrong? Am l so we'll that l will never
again be sick? Are these companion
ships so firm that they will never again
be broken? Is that Mary? Is that John?
Is that my loved one l put away into
darkneSs?'
Oh! that I could administer some OF
these drops OF celestial anOdyne to
those nervous and excited souls. II
you would take enough OF 1t it would
cure all your pangs. The thought
that yen are going to get through with
this after awhile, all this sorrow and all
this trouble. We shall have q great
many grand days In heaven, but will
tell you which will be the grandest
day Of all the million ages Of heaven.
You say: "Are you sure you can tell
me?" Yes, can. 1t will be the day
we get there. Some say heaven is
growing more glorious. 1 suppose it is;
but do not care much abont that.
Heaven now is
GOOD ENOUGH FOR Me,
