Praying ts the fiid of preaching; for as Herbert has said, Attend sermons, but prayers most." Xhifl journey preceais to us a very Importnnt ritrlod in the file ot the Apostle, one in which Jccurs the most glorious triumph of his faith lu the Son ot God. We caunot but admire a man who, late in life, sets out upon a dangerous voyage solely to justify his faith before the ruler of the world. NVe read with profound emotion of the devastating storm; of the clark night of the ansruish and pain : of the prayers; of the trust In Heaven; or the Pbipwreck, and of the final rescue; and, what is more important, we behold throughout the Christian. We perceive even in the manacled prit-oner the spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind the peaceful assurance in the lace Of death proclaiming the child of God. As upon journeys immense varieties of life appear, so the various viccissitudes of their events are fitted to permit the very secrets of man's heart to be revealed, and to test the true nature ol his beintr. Therefore, the history of Journeys are, in the main, the most interesting portions of the. Bible-. iiehold the narrative of the forty years' journey of the Israelites through the wilderness. Uow full it is of peril 1 how rich in tho miracles of Divine compassion; bow it manifests to us the assurance and the despondency ol the heart of manl When has the Lord done such great thines to any man as to St. Paul, ou his journey from Jerusalem to Damascus? and even the short way of the disciples from Jerusalem to Emniuug, how important it wa to them for their entire lile! Yea, tho entire his tory ot the Saviour, what is it other wise than the history of a journey? and that it had to be; since only in that way, by the vicissitudes of men aud circumstances, could occasion be iriven to bring to light the cntue wealth of Lin Almighty love. Dy a pro found necessity of His n;v.ur man is a tra veller, and that innate desire is but another form of that feeling of strangeness here, of dn-:nu-laetion with the best that earth can pive, that vainly seeks on earth the home of the eoiil. The apostle could not bcrter describe the entire life of man than lu the wordsTor Oere we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come." II human hie is, in the contemplation ot Holy Bcripture.apreat journey through the wilderness lo the land of promise, out of time to eternity, may we not inversely call a journey a lile com pressed thus into a picture; since the events which in the ordinary every-day life he so far apart from each othr here in varied change so quickly follow, crowd theouelves together; they come, they go the ties of friendship are made but to be unlsscncd. Ever new pictures appear but to vanish, and joy and sorrow no where lie bo near toeether as upon a journey, Where the safe continuance of life may be so easily interrupted by unexpected BTents, lu hazhrdous ways. These nil find place In Paul's journey. It Is propei ly a miniature picture of life, retlecting the leelins and duties of its most widely sepa rated persons, conditions, and periods. By the manifold nega of its events, its terrible dangers, and Its varied characters, we trust to create a picture whose bright lights and deep shadows anan reveiu iu us uuuimi mu in us nopes ana fears, strifes and t.truBrges, its victories and defeats, as Jcseons lor me conduct or your mo ana mine. We shall present our thoughts on the four sec tions of this narrative under four propositions, thus stated: I. The Departure, or setting sail. H. The Conflict between Faith and Unbelief, III. The Struggle with Adversity. IV. The Haven ot Kest. To-night we begin with "The Departure;" and here three points present themselve lor our con templation: I. The Vicissitudes of Life. 2. Its Friendships. 3. The First Cloud in the Heaven?. With Tby presence, O Lord, permit m to make the pilgrimage of life, lie I'hou our Kefuge aud cur Rock. Give us humility aud meekness on sunshiny days; permit us in dark hours to find our consolation in Thee. Break a way for u through the waste howling wilderness to urge our way to the blessed land of promise. Paul, formerly the zealous Pharisee, the blood thirsty persecutor of Christians, bus, by his Joyful and death-defying testimony for Christ the crucified one, produced in Asia and in Eu rope such extraordinary results as to arouse against himself the bitterest hatred of the Jews. After his filth arrival lu Jerusalem, since he lett it on his persecuting errand to Damascus, on fceiug recognized in the temple by some Asiatic Jews, they stirred up the people against him, If presenting him as an enemy of the law, as one who polluted the temple, until In their rage ho was seized, dragged violently from the temple, beaten, and only rescued from a shameful duith by the intervention of the Romish chief captain, who took him prisoner. From Jerusalem, alter the appearance of the Apostle before the great Council, because of the discovery of acounpiracy to assassinate him, he was t-eut uuder the pro tection of a small military escort to Ceaarea, where he had been held in custody for two year by two Kouiish Governors, Felix audFestiu. As their hopes faded that Paul would purchase hi freedom with money, and Festus bolug willing to surrender him to his Jewish persecutors, Paul, in the exercise of his right as a Houinn Citizen, appealed to Ciesar. Now that he must personally stand before Ctfar. Paul, with manv other nrisoncrs. is brought on board a ship of AdramyUium, nomcwaru nouuu, but previously to the con clusion of the voyaqe inteudiug to touch at several points along the const of Asia Minor, from some onoof whose seaports it was intended that this vessel should bo exchanged lorauoiher sailing to Italy. On board this ship, whoo en tire population numbered 270 souls, Puul and the other prisoners, iu the care aud under the command of Julius, a Ifouiau centurion, commenced the journey. It is a serious journey. The grentest number of the dwellers iu the ship are criminals, their consciunoes laden with bluck crimes. They go' to Itoine. In that proud city, from the mouth ct the highest of earthly rulers, they shall hear , pronounced tho Judgment which shall seal their destiny lor time. Aud how soon, how unex pectedly, may they be callod to ttaud boforo the Eternal Judge 1 How deceitful tho ground upon Which they tread ! how frail the vessel In which they sail upon the wide, dark abyss of tho sea I It ts late iu the year, rendering the voya"e ex tremely daneerous from the violence of tho etorms that at such periods are apt suddenly to Dreak forth with unlettered wiath. Their ves eul may prove unseaworthy, and sink as a leaden (lliu with them enclosed, burying luem lu tao depths of the sea. But rc these tho thoughts of the ship's people? If they remember the crimes which 7 1 ess upon them, does any one ask his con acieuce, How do I stand before the Almighty Judge? Ab I it does not appear as if the thought produced any anxiety, or a if tho approaching dauuer caused apprehension. The judgment is yet distant. The storm Hill Jeeps, the heavens are cloudless, the burning sun's rays illumlnate'the quiet waves, the beau tiful landscape by which they sutlod. In the meanwhile, Luke, the histoiinn, enu merates the places, stations, and idles by which they voyage, as X he would intimate that the TEE D MLY EVENING TELEGRAPH FIIILADELPniA. MONDAY, DECEMBER 0, ISO?. viciAfit'jdc of the external scene had taken entire possession of the heart. And, truly, what they iiw wee well qualified to fasten the a tonuhed gflie, as bv enchantment. It Is a para disea vrry garden of fJod that stretches out before them. They sail along the comt, at first towards Phoenicia; there is Lebnnon, with her crdar forest oi a thousand years: there Hermon, whose summit is crowned with eternal snow, rises regally to the clouds; there Cyprue, with her groin vine-clad mountains above the deep blue beavene; before them the blooming landscape; around the -quiet, wide, beautiful surface of the cn, out of which appear con stantly to tho view new Islands. Thre is so much to see, bo much to wonder at, that there is scarce room for earnest reflection. The future is pushod out of view. The criminals have forpotten the crimes which they have committed, the chains which bind their limbs, tho penis which await them. The soldiers have forgotten their serious office: the eye de lights iUelt lu the mauifoldnessof the surround ing spectacle; land", cities, Isles pnss by like a panorama to the astonished mariner, and the entire burdensome consequences of a serious future have vanished In the serene enjoyment of a bright, rich present, undisturbed by any cars. Is this so much to be wondered at? When is it otherwise with the majority of men? Do not thousands and hundreds of thousands who have experienced storms, who have beim treacherously betrayed, who hve more than once seen the abss open beneath their feet, almost always shitke off the painful Impressions which they have experienced, and s icririee to present enjoy nienta serious reflections and future aims? Is it then lo be w ondered at if It happen thus at the bepinning of the journey? Iiy the beRinnitu, I mean the going out into life the time when the lather opens the pro tecting door and ushers the young wanderer out upon the wide. Insecure theatre of worldly life; that period when the youth becomes "lord of himself, that heritage of woe." How parental love trembles at this dangerous transition period I lr they know how easily the seductive worldly lile hurries the young mind onward upon its current; how soon the varied pictures blind the eyes and take captive the senses, so that the earnest purpose vanishes, the funda mental idea of life's deep significance that they had striven to implant in the mind is lost to tho young wanderer. For truly thre r.re moments In the lile of a child when the true signification of life is recog nized, when "the world to como" exert it rightful dominion over the young heart. In the earliest ywars of childhood, in Christian homes, how olt a lich life of faith blossoms! The pious eyes of tho child see Heaven open, and taught to recognize the voice that calls from above, the infant Samuel answers with sincere purposes ol obedience. "Speak, Lord, lor thy servant hearelh." Then the unwc come thought of sin melts tha childish heart to Uirs. Each day of the child lile passes with tho consciousness of the pre sence of the ervut .Judge, or ratner ot tne Ileavenlv Father. With God the child com munes; to Him mip-.rts all its little joys; to Ilnu discloses the sorrow of its young heart. It is Kdcn 1 but its hour of severe temptation must come, and, oh! how on tne accompanying knowledge of good nnd evil, by intelligent, con scious sin, banishes the child-wanderer lorth irom its past innocence I In the instruction of the Sabbnth School, asain, God's voice is echoing; the call of tho Saviour is heard; maviy hear: -doors are opened: many geed3 of the Divine Woid, sown in rhKl,ooi at the mother' knee, upon the ground of the young heart, begin to develop themsolve. The blossoms unfold. E'erual fidelity is sworn to the Lord. The heart burns with love. It is a higher prade: a mora conscious life than that of ten years earlier; for it can love much, fueling that It has been much forgiven. We think now that the soul is won forever to the Lord; but let us rojolce with trembling: there comes auothor period of development and of trial, and our joy may be premature the hour of manhood, when the immediate personal restraining influ ence ot home and parental guardianship aud love is withdrawn, and the young man is a law unto himself. Honor and shame, blessiug and cursing, heaven and hell, then loom in sight. The young life, ko dear to us, goes forth from the land-locked harbor of our love, to be tossed on a stormy ocean, with dread perils all around and wrecks not a few scattered on the sliore. The world now presents itselr to the young voyager tor his independent decision. Shall he conform himself to it, or be transformed by the renewiue of his mind, and prove what is the bc ceptable and perfect will or Uod. My dear hearers, I think not now of the light minded, thought les, degenerate young men and women uAo are not here, and are scarce ever here, but of you, of those brought up in Chris tian homes, who from childhood have known the Scriptures, who have inherited, like Timo thy, an unfeigned luith which dwelt in a pious ancestry, ana who, in the hour of conversion, have found again their childhood's faith; and must it now be lost when the world exerts its influence? Not that. But he recedes, draw9 back. Must serious thoughts give way through woi Idly excitements, and the earnest prepara tion lor life's higher duties be forgotten? It is the crisis. Mo-es has come to years and must choose whether he will suffer affliction with the people of God, whether he will esteem the reproach of Christ greater riches than the trea sures ot Egypt. The variety in life amuses. A thousand things blind the eyes of tho under Blending by their dazzling brilliancy, whose passing enjoyment gives pleasure for the moment. Ah ! tho world to the yonng man seems so abundant, life so sweet, the heart so susceptible lo its joys. The entire earthly life looks to tho dazzled eye a long, bright spring day, whose sun goes not down, and if at any time a sorrow eize the young traveller, it is soon fortotten, and the thoughtless mind ngain resigns itself to mirth. It is certainly a foolish joy, the joy in earthly things; in the gaily colored picture which lile iu rich chnngea firetenl to view. But the young traveller shall earn lo know the world. A tune shall come when he shall discern his false judgments ol it, when he shall be painfully conscious of tho world's poverty; and when, if he shall stand the test, he shall be lifted to a newer, wider, more elevated grade of the newly won life of faith. It is tha hour of opening manhood and woman hood that brings to the crucible and tries even as by fire whether the faith ot our Subbath School converts be the victory that overcometh the world. Thejeye ot Kternal Love watches over the young wanderer. The prayers of a father and mothpr follow mid watch around him au guardian annels, lor it is to the fond parents an hour of tore anxiety. Next to the hour of birth, this is the hour ot' greatest pain to the nioth this second birth into a wider world. There is not one ot us that ba! not Jial such angels standing at our side. They cnine iu the earnest Christian, who met us as a fllend; who reached to us the hand; whose earnest word, who.e quiet example, whone taithful leading and teaching we have to thi.nk that our burqueof life has not been ttrauded on the sunken rocks of tempta tion, or thai? the cudaugeied faith has not suf fered shipwreck. II. Life's Fri unships. A in (.ii tr the two hundred and seventy souls on board the ship, there are iwo who demand onr special uttention. They are very diilerent from each other, not merely in jersrbut mora in principles, in the conduct of their lives, and yet we see how the bond of high and sincere icllow rhip begins to unite them, as the strong iimnl fet8 his attiacttve rower upon the weak ami susceptible one. Besides the Apostle Paul, Li.ke, the histnr'nn, nnd one Aristarchns, a Miieedoiiiin of Tl'essalonica, whoseema to have voluntarily oilered himself as a companion of the eulleruig Apos'le, the individual vtho ap pears moRt HUs-ceptible to higher influences, is the ltommi centurion, Julius. , The Apostle has won bis heart, we see that in the few words where, when the vessel, the day after she nailed, touched at Hidon, the historian of thu vovnge "aud Julius courteously entreatel Paul and gve him li jertv to go unto hi friends to reirenh uiuiudr." The intimate relations be tween the to will appear yet clearer during the course of u,H uarrativo; and wo shall see that at Hie proper time Juliu knew how grate fully to recoiuptn-o t)i benefits ho had expe rienced by contact with Vauj, u pmtiug lurth his power to ,BRve Lis beuefuotor from a shame ful deuih. Vrrilv thfse men are as different as possible i frmn f,n aiw.thbr. Tho unp a heathen, the other ' a Jew. The heathen an offleer; the Jew ,s prisoner. The one belonging to the pro,, leei aud mishiiest people on earth. Trie other to the most despised and miserable. Julius, if we Judge according to his modest rank, yet young in years. Paul hastening towards the naturally not lnr distant termination of his life, in old age. We know not what Paul had brIJ or done to elicit Irom the heathen the lovinr veueration, the hearty gratitude he manifested, as outside of their pirseut mutual external relations wa know nothing of auy intercourse between them. But Pntil is a true Christian. Since his conver sion, he has never ceaced to be one; and ho is one everywhere nnd at ail lime. Not only when prenching to his congregation; ho is one to his servant. He ia also a Christian on shipboard, among wild warriors, among roueri criminals. Aud if a man ts a Christian from the depths of his soul, from the bottom of his heart, that is manifest in all that he says, or does, or leaves undone: lor unrintinnity permeates tne entire life: It impresses upon its disciples a micu of majestic sublimity that never fails in its con tinuous working upon those by whom he may be surrounded. Youth is particularly susceptible, then; more than at any other period of life is the influence of a commanding character felt. .Neither words, nor instruction, nor books exert so much influence upon youth as the indirect, uncon scious influence ot tne sentiment, disposition, and habits of life of a determined character with whom they are connected; and this influ ence is as mighty for evil as (or eood. How often the entire direction of a life depends upou the character ot the older friends with whom a youth associates I How often parents, upon the entrance ot their children into the world, tremble at tne tnougnt, wiiu wiioru do they associate ? Whom do they avoid ? What counsels do tbey heed ? In the Antcrvphal Books, it Is represented that when the young Tobias, at the request of his father, started upon a journey, "the good nngcl of Uod ' iu the shapoot a man, "accompa nied him, ordered all things well that were done about him, so that he should return to his parents with joy." Who does not desire, if it were possible, a guardian angel to guide his child upon the journey ot lite? Are there not evil and good angels stationing thems-lves at the most critical periods of lite, whose influence for the right or wrong exerted upon the heart, shall tell upon the whole future of their lives, upon the eternity of their beiug ? What so im portant as that they shall shun the evil and cleave to the good, that they discern beneath the robes of light the Satan who thus trans forms himself that he may leal antral.; and recognize the atgel whoso loving guidance points to the strait and narrow way? Parents, jou may do much to assist such recognition. So long as your children are under the parental roof, you should solicitously watch over them that they contruct no Iriend.hips that shall lead them astray; aud lf'uutwituHtaudirg your natch fulness, on evil misleading companion shall ob trude upon them, you shall have cultivated in them such devotion to vou, have4nstenetl rhetu to you with such g.ncere loving conndence in you, that theexpression of your Miirhteit wish shall be to them a determining power, that they may not be able to keep back trom you the poison which the seducer has sought to cast into their souls, that by your loving words th?y mav be purified ol tho otTenBive contamination. Parents, you should associate with your growing, developing children as with friend?, opening to them your heart of hearts as their nature untold:, sharing their sports and pastimes, keeping your ititerost keen In all their pursuits and pleasures, taking as much of your own boyhood and girlhood m you can on with you through li'e, so tha-, be- cauFO oi your cuuiiuuuiuu oi epiru wim mem, you may by, judicious counsel, so sharpen their fudcnients oi human nature that they may readily distinguish between the good and bad companions w hom tney will meet Jater iu life. Companions they must and will have. It Is not good for man to bo alone. The mind of man is not so constituted as that In itself and ot itself and Irom itself it shall draw the strength necessary to its struglex. Man must have have friends born for his adversity. Happv is that youth who, In the hour of searching, of strife and of conflict, when the forces of evil ate drawn up iu battlo airayand the struggle may not be postponed, has a companion in whose breast a similar deire of eonuuest shall liava been awakened, that in the mutual striving of sincere, earnest minus tney may overcome together the Uiost seduetiveiy beautltul tempta. tions. uappy tne youtu wno in sued teiiow ship la taught the great lesson ol life "Know Thy sell 1" In the harvest of treasured spoils, of a mature manhood, won in such soul conflicts, how joy fully grateful are such friendships, such soul compauionsnips, recognized as tne greatest DiesBirgs or tne past 1 lie ; tnat fellowship ot kindred minds in which, bearing one another's burdens of spiritual ctrife and struggle, we passed security tne dangerous trials or youtn. My young friend, you need, vou must have a fninmli c-. itn Ann F llb-n nnncloTiu r--i Vi trn.i - -v I f but alto with similar spiritual desires and pur poses, max, bearing witn one otner, admonish lug each other, carrying each other prayerfully upon the loving heart, each reading the heart of another as an open book, and in that open confidence of love finding help. Oh! beautiful friendship of lovintr, youthful souls, lightening each the other's sorrows, multiplying etch the other s jojs! Would God that wliile I speak thus Etronely my ser.se of the worth of an earthly friendship, cemented bv purity of nur- pose, tl at 1 might also speak the word of warn ing to euard you aaainst contracting such friendships as pollute and destroy. By the strength of your emotions, by the excitements of sense, you are at your period in life subject to to many dangers, that you ueed the help of the gooo, ana cannot witn impunity associate in timately with the vile. I speak to those who have listened to the voice of God saying, "O'ive me thy heart;" whose fouls have been quickened into spiritual life by the breath of God breathing on them; In whose ears God's Word ha been ringing like an echo from home, say ing como unto me," wno, ooeoient uuio the divinely welcoming cull, have set out lo travel Zionwurd. Danger threaten you; it were un wise, unnmuly, to conceal from you that your journey thitherward will not be all sunshine, over smooth, unruffled seas, beneath etn ling neavens, witn only gentle, lavoring, propeiliu winds! "A re thr no fr.en tor me to fnce ? luusl 1 ijoi. leiu tUu tluod ?" Clouds will datken the skies. The tempest vinos siuiii mow. You must experience that liom which the careless crew and companions of tho ship could not save themselves. Their journey, thus far has been snfo and prosperous. From Ciesarea to hi Jon the heavens nuvoucen blue above them, the sea quiet aud tranquil beneath. But 1t continues not thus. J ne firm cloud appears. The adverse winds pre vent their further peacelul progress. "Aul When we had launched fi under Cyprus because the winds were contrary." ,51ucb lime is lost in tack inn to ami lio. They have crossed the sea ot Celicla and Pamphylia, hayo exchanged the vessel of Adra-myttiuin for a ship of Alexandria sailing Into Italy, slowly they sail on lor niauv days, mnkii g 'but short distances. The days crowing shorter, the nights lengthening, with danger, " as . neither suu nor stars appealed." tha only guides ot the ancient manner when out of sight ot lund. The sea becoming more and more turbulent as tho winds father violeuce and durability. It is yet time for thern tff return to the port fn.m whence ihey sailed, to di-con-tiuue for a time the journey, to hasten back Irom the certain ruin threatening them from the clouded heavens, from tne tierce winds from theuDgry waves. Puul warn them: 'Sire' '1 perceive that this voyage will bo with hurt nnd much damage not only of tho lading and the ship, but mIso of, our lives." B it as we read, "Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than thoee thiugs which were spoken by Paul." Ever thus. Kveu the words of a tiiend are unheeded if they disturb the thoughtless enjoyment of the' nresint by warning ot coining danicer. Kver t has for the morrows, of our earthly transitory life, lu their material and (elfish interests, aj'iu will take heed, although He who brings e!ty aud nijjbt and teasons, ft bo clothes the gras of J1"". Celd, has said: -"Tnke no thought but for tne uio i row ot iije itftlf, for the future of o ir being," although He has aid. "llo vcalso rend v. for In snch en hour as ve think not the Hon of Maa 1 cometh." Man will not prepare. "When it is evening, ye say it will be rir weather; for the skyisrea. And in the morning, it will bo loul weather to-day, for the sky is red aadlovrer- ine." But it is not In the storms of life that. I rceoo- nlze, oh youth ! your dauper. It is in the uu iviso counsels of the evil companion. You g to meet the threatening future in varied, compa nionships. Hired tne raw wno warns, ra'.her than the master and owners of the ship, who lor selfish gaini counsel in their own Interests. A man is known by the company he keeps. Look to. your friends, oh Christian youth I But having chosen thai better mend, that friend that Btickeih closer than a brother, Irom the friends of Christ, from the Pauls who say follow me as I lol low Christ, choose ve the oiher friend who will walk with you In loving sympathy ires pa'nway, witn mm wnose worua suau mase your neuiu to burn witutu you. Cue word to vou who may have many so- called friends, but have not contracted His friendship. Beginning life without tho Divine guidance, I do not decry the friendship of your friends. Hut they will tan on irom you, perntps by misunderstandings, perhaps by reasouof foul wrongs that they perpetrate agoint you; if In no other way, by death you shall lose them. Without God in the world, nt lust you shall be without man. Woe I woe I to tho friendless 1 Come, let me introduce you to my irien I. So great, He is the King's son; so wise, He knows all things; so pure, that His enemies found no lault In Him: bo good, that He died for His bit terest enemies. Come, young traveller, coing out into life, a life full of tcmpiation, toils, sor sows, that oittimes come In crowds and clouds come, oh come, to my friend. Hark, He says, "If any man thirst, let him come uuto me and drink.'' lie will make your sorrows flee. Ha will save you trom lears," from foes, irom sins, from jouisclr. Come, oh come, to my friend. What a friend he is I How strand?, how pass ing strange, thst n l do not seek him 1 Come, oh come, to my friendl His name is Je-us, for He is the Saviour.
