ilOMU DRESSMAKING
By Charlotte Martin.
LADIES UNDERGARMENT.
Wo have in
thin chapter one
of the most vivid
accounts of 11
storm nt una that
has ever Ix-t-n
written. Luke,
who wrote It,
was there and
witnessed It and
the description
of the eye wit
lies enlinot he
surpassed. There
have been many
great storms 011
that turbulunt sea before nnd since.
The prophet Jonah experienced one
on that same ocean, and the Roman
emperor Caesar, upon that stormy sea,
a century before 1'nul'a day, had
warned tho frightened pilot. "Steer
boldly, thou carrlest Cuesar!" This
historic corn ship carried Paul.
The boat had scarcely left tho Inr
bor at Fair Havens, when a northeast
tempest burst upon them. It was an
equinoctial with tho fotve of a hurri
cane For fourteen days It raped.
The mariner's compass had not then
been Invented, and sailors depended
upon their observation of the sun and
stars. Hut during that fortnight of
awful weather, no rift In the clouds
by day or night gnve knowledge of
their locution. Only whistling tempest,
tho moaning cordage, the creakiug
timbers, the pounding waves, the roar
ing breakers, the hopeless working at
the pumps, the Incessant strain o
mlr.d and body.
A Calm Passenger.
I'aul Bets a splendid example to all
storm-tossed Christians. For there
r.re multitudes of such. We have
learned not to expect fair weather and
tmooth sailing over the sea of life.
The best of God's people have so.ne
times to endure experience;! of boia
tcrous seas and lowering skies. There
omo times when as in this case we
lire "to.ssed up and do.vn In Adria,"
v.Ik'11 "neither sun nor s!;trs appear,"
for many days, and when the best, v.e
c,iii do Is to "let her drive." Well Is
it for ua under such circumstances if
we can remember that ike sun shir.os
i.bove tho clouds, the Htars sparkle
clear and beautiful away above the
tempest, aud the moon looks down as
peacefully as on a summer's nii,ht,
and, best of all, Cod our Father, stands
with slcep'e- vigilance. keeping
watch over his own. Such a so.il can
trustfully sing:
"I know not where His Inlands lift
Their fror.ded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
. Fcyond His love und care."
The Shipwreck.
Fourteen days have pr.ssed and
there Is uo nlmtcment of the uto:'in.
S.iddenly the cry: "Ureakera r.head!"
They will soon be on the rocks. A a
a last reRort they drop four anchors
from the stern, the cables run out,
they draw taut, the ship halts In her
headlong plunge to ruin, and Just o;i
the edge of the boiling surf the an
chors hold.
Thus they swing till day-break
when one more effort is made to
beach the ship. But in vain, the ves
sel was doomed. The ship strikes,
the planks spring asunder, the. boat
goes to pieces In the thundering surge.
Then came the struck for life.
Strong swimmers plunged Into the
sea, and breasted the waves, until
they were tossed upon the sands,
breathless, but safe. Men went under
as if they would never rise, but cau-k
ing a timber, came floating and pant
ing on it to the beach. And when the
roll of the ship was called two hun
dred and seventy-six persons answer
ed to their names. "And so it came
to pass that they escaped all safe to
land."
A Parable of Death.
So may It bo at last with all of
U3. Out on the seu of life wo may be
caught in the Euroclydon of death,
as we approach the shire. Darkness
may lower, and tho sun of prosperity
withdraw Itself. Bewildered by the
tempest's roar, we may lose our bear
ings and drift helplessly without chart
or compass. All our comforts may
fail us, and the planks in which we
trusted may yield ana break beneath
our feet.
If such an hour comes, may It be
ours to face tne issue with as calm
a spirit as did the great apostle. He
was not affrighted. He was the only
calm soul on that foundering ship.
The future had no terrors for him. He
was going home, and whether he
went by land or sea mada little differ
ence. So ho ate his breakfast that
last morning as calmly as though al
ready on shore. He aaid, 'I believe
(led." Down Into tho seething waters
he went bravely, a few moments buf
feting the waves, and then kind and
gentle hands drew him out of the
waters, and helped him up the beach.
Bo, when at last all cmr hopes and
comforts sink away, and wo find our
selves In tho billows of death, rosy
we speedily get our feet upon the
beach of eternity, while tender, lov
ing lmuda are reached out to help us
P the slopes of Paradise. ...
