I have formed this theory in regard 20

takes just % much trouble 20 Ct rs for

question Il whether we shan take il in
the bulk OF puireriEed and sranulsted-
Here IS one man who takes II IN the
bulk. HIS back Is broken or his eye
sight pot out. or some other awful
calamity befalls hin. while the vast ma

neal Which way would you rather
have its OF course, in pieeemeaL Bet
ter have Eve aching teeth than one
broken Jaw; better ten fly blisters than
an smputstion; better 20 squalls than
one cyclone. There may be adherence
Of opinion as TO alopsthy and honeO-
patty, but in this matter Of trouble l
Ike homeopathic doses, small pellets
OF annoyance rather than some knock
down dose Of calamity. Instead Of the
thunderbolt give US the hornet. II you
have a hank, you would a great deal
rather that 50 men would rome in with
checks less than 500 than TO have two
i ~6spositors come in the same day, each
wanting his $4,000. In this latter case
|, you cough and look down to the floor
and you look up to the ceiling before
|, you look into the safe. Now. my friends
would you not rather have these small
. drafts Of annoyance on your bank OF
faith than some all staggering demand
upon your endurance? But remember
, that little as well as great snnoyances
! equally require you to trust in Christ fol
r succor and for deliverance from impa
thence and irritabllity. Thou wilt keel
him in perfect peace whose mind IL
stayed on Thee
In the village Of Hamelin, tradition
says, there was an invasion Of rats, anC
e these small creatures almost deyoureC
the town and threatened the lives Of thu
population; and the story is that q pipe
: came out one day and played a yer.
{ sweet tune, and all the yermin followe,
s him, followed him to the banks Of III
weser. and then he blew q blast, AM
they dropped in and disappeared for
: ever. OF course, this is a fable, but
+ wish l could on the sweet flute Of III
d Gospel draw forth all the nibbling an
n burrowing a~nnoyances of your life AM
play them down into the depths for
! ever.
