Incidents of the Voyage Narrated in nn Interesting Fashion A Cargo of Passengers That Preferred Ice Water to Beer An Epidemic of Heart Disease Tho Gallant Cap tain and His Record. On Board Steamer Tiuvo, July 13. Dear Friends nt Home: Possibly you may bo Interested to follow, In some measure, the Jouincy of the new "In nocents Abroad," and 1 send herewith a few notes fioin my scrap-bonk foi friends at home. Tho thtci- special features of our tour are: First, the ocean voyage; second, the World's Christian Kndcavor convention to be held In London; third, nn extended continental tour, Including travel In Holland, DolRlum, (lei many, Switzer land, Havarla, Passion Play of Abr-r AmwerKiiu, Italy, Fiance, etc., and u special lslt to the Paris exposition. Tho lminlna of the stcaiwis of the North Uerman l.luyel rnmpany taus.-d a special leslstiatlon for the Trae of this line, the hlHti-r ship of the Saale, In which so many lives were lost July 7 the sailliiR list contained CJO passen Kers, all asslpned as "llrst-class, " the most of whom are booked as ili'leK.it- 3 to the World's Christian Kndeavm convention. Mote than "00 of tip will go in our party throughout the tour to Rome, Naples and Pompeii. At 2.15 p. m. the usual order to it. merry company of ship visitors, All not passeiiRois ashore," was si von, and promptly at 3 o'clock tho Ricat ship swuntr out from her dock, amidst the cheers and well-wishes of a tluons of lovlnc friends. Tho friends on shore waved an answering adieu to happy, hopeful ones on deck, outwaid bound. A delightful sail down the harbor was a refreshing chance from the heat of tho crowded city. At Sandy Hook the pilot leaves us, amidst the strains of national alls by the shlp'a band, and the rousing cheers of pas sengers. He beais the last lovo mes sages to anxious friends ashoie, or tho forgotten message of Instruction to those who have tho extra cares at home, ICE WATER IX DEMAND. Shlp'a crow and passengers need mutual understandings before full confidence is given. Hut when did such a ship carry such a cargo? The hot day made thirsty traveler's, but Ice water only is In demand. To the consternation of alt Ave learn that there Is a large supply cf beer, "Peer fur Alios," but of ice water "Ich haben sle nlcht" Is the universal cty of the steward. The following day there Is a better understanding tvul ice chests are opened while distilla tion and distribution of water ljen'ns. Kind friends have furnished Deacon J. Lawrence Stello and his pastor with a budget of "sealed orders," so long when pasted together they reach not only from the promenade to the quarter deck, but from the ship's heart to loved ones at home. Tho wit and wisdom of the letters is only excelled by the thoughtfulness and love of the writers. Two hours out, we are treated to a severe thundershowcr, an Intsresving experience to the novdtlate In ocean travel. Soon the trumpeter Founds the bugle call for dinner, nnd a great company whose appetites are sharp ened by the sea air report for duty and aro assigned places at tho table by the chief steward whoso imperial reign fills Americans with awe. The menu and service compare favorably Sunday-School Lesson for Aligns! S, Jejuis aodl the ChMdree, MATT., XV: 1-14. BY REV. J. E. GILBERT, D. D. LL.D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. CONTEXT. While descending tlic mountain after the tranrlRuration, as narrated tn List Uffon, Jihus comerscd with 1IW uiiostk'i loti ccrnlns Ullas. On icachlns the 1'lain below He cast a dumb tplrit out of a demoniac boy wliicli the nine bad failed to do. Again lie foretold I1U death and resurrection, bdiiir the third timo that subject bid been mentioned in tin dajs. Then the company journcyul houlli ward, do record being made ol the cenU on the way, except that thcic was a dispute amontr the tuche a to their superiority in the Kinjrdum ot bcaicn (Mark ix: B.I). Arriving at Caper naum a mlratle was peitormrd to proildo money tor the annual taxm. Jesus retired to tho house, probably of Piter, where He bad the intcnicw with the apostles outlined in the les son for the day. rUHPCSn. r.xposlto' differ concerning the rrimary Import of this passarrc of (scripture. Many, maUnc the first erse most prominent, belleie that Jesus intended to answer tho ques tion of tho apostles by instructing them concern ing their office and work, home regarding the last ent as the climax, think that, taUng oc casion of their depute, He fought to settle it by shotting the place and aluo ot little ihll drcn in Ills sjstem of doctrine. Others finding tho key In the eleventh verse, contend that tho Master designed, as on other occasions, to di rect attention to Himself. Judging from the topic the International committee held the sec ond position. A better Interpretation unites tbo main features of all these Icwi, Whatever Jesus said concerning tho apostles, or childhood, or Himself, bore upon a theme In which all His teachings found unity, namely tho kingdom of htaicn. The Jewish nation expected a Mes siah who would set up a temporal kingdom. Unlike their countrymen the apostles hclieicj Jesus to be the Messiah, but they were jet bound by ths popular belief concerning the na ture ot Ills kingdom. That false notion, the source of their other errors, must be corrccleJ. Jtsus had previously and frequently instructed them on the subject, and ho now undertakes by another method to make them understand. Ho is destined to fail, however, as up to the last they thought of Him as a restorer of temporal sovereignty (Luke xxll: 21-00; Acts 1: 0). ANALYSIS. 1. Bcglnnlne with tho thought that the passage treats of tho kingdom of htavtn, it may be divided into three great parts, furnishing answers to many leading questions. First, who aro to be admitted into this king, dom? What class of persons? What shall be their eeneral character? Will the kingdom be on the basis of rsce or ot blood or of moral quality? Second, after certain persons are ad mitted how shall they bo treated? And, in or. dtr to secure such treatment, what shall be the proper spirit, attltudo and behavior of those who administer the affairs of the kingdom in the Interests of the subjects? Third, upon what tills of principle and authority, of wisdom and expediency, does all this rest? How and by what tight are these questions of membership and administration adjusted? How came there to be projected and set up such a kingdom un like those previously existing? 2. Or, mors briefly, we have here instruction concerning the members, the agents and the founder of the kingdom, the thre classes of persons who make with that nt our best hotels and Is nil that can bo desired. Tho first two or three days tho trumpet calls to "mess" seem very frequent nnd many fall to report at tables. Possibly they lcbcl nt tho thought of using their stomachs to prepare such high pi iced food to feed tho ocean fle.li. Our sympathies aro stirred to pity In behalf of many En deavorers who had been singing "Leanlns on the Everlasting Arm," who nto now sighing over nnd lean ing on tho steamship rail. So far tho Scranton delegation liaa not "heaved to" or even felt disposed to feed tho ash nt sea. SUNDAY SERVICES. Sunday morning, Rev. Dr. Patterson pieaches an "Ezcklcl's Vision," In tho saloon, nn lmprenlvo seivlce and splendid sermon. Tho pastor of tho ship gives two illustrated addresses, IPlI j$ , f' $m' ' '" VfifflPs TUP LAST one to a large crowd of passengers In the main saloon, the other to the ofllo rs sailors and stewards In the aft dining room. Tho men are deep ly affected by the pictured truth and some nsk to bo remembered In prayer. Our Captain Christoffer Is a genial man and a typical (Jul man seaman. He has been with th" North German Lloyd company since ho was V years of age. He is now f.S and will retire with a half -pay pension In October next. As captain he lias crossed the ocean 91 times, nnd when he retires Will just round out the 100 trips as chief oflicer of a meat ocean liner. While light overcoats and wraps are comfortablo on deck, the intense heat below decks has overcome several of the stokers. It is reportid that one poor fellow rushed on deck yesterday afternoon haiug bcoiiie Insane. He could not woik longer because of the cxtienie heat and the men below were planning to throw him ovci board. He nppci'led to tho passengeis to take his name and address and write to Ills wife and chlldicn that the men had driven him to death. The only trouble with the entlro story which so touched our sympathies was that It was untrue. Tho tvent never oc curred. Hut one soon becomes accus tomed to these little dashes of real life, which ate but pine Invention. Tho weather becomes colder as we get beyond the warmer cunents of the gulf stream. Now and then we are treated to some real lolling and tossing of tho ship. Things in our stato rooms move by unseen hands. Steamer chairs tumble about nnd dig nified passengers play "hop, skip ami Jump" in realistic childhood fashion. I am satisfied that many people pay large sums for the discomforts of life. If wo bad to put up with them at homo wo would be apt to make folks unhappy around us. Hut I suppose when we are able to say in the coming days, "When I was crossing the At- cicry monarchy tho character of the first, the conduct of the second, the spirit ot the ll-t. 11 Civlug collect lcws on thee topics Jcjih - pects to explain !llmclf and His inMon, anil the place ami trillion of Ills apo.-itles.

Ho gives an object les-on A Hula child set tn the midst, largo cno'igh to valk (fur lie came on call), small mouidi to bi taken In ornn (Mark ix: ISO), mobibly 2 or 3 jeais old. Tra dition ea)3 that the child was Ignatius, aftir ward nishop cf Antioih. Tho words of Jesus on another occasion (.Matt, xix: It) wanant the belief that Ho intendul to say that children aio members, as they had been in the Jewl.li church (Dour, xl: 7). The apostles evidently so understood (Kpli. l: 1; II Tim. ill: 13). 2. lie declared that child-like adults v.rre mei hen of the kingdom, Solomon and .Teiciulali so classed thcinoclves (I Kings iii: 7, .Ih. i: 7). The child-spirit is given in Scripture e m.lt r four head quletnesn or submisnivenisi (IWm ixxm: 2), freedom from mallee (( Cor. xiv . in, ih siring instruction (l let. II: 2), huinilit i,-rn- i, Lcson), tho last being niot proniintiit here because of tho rlrcuinslanie. J. lie showed how adults acquired tho child-likeness, by con version. That Included repentance (Matt, III: 2) or change of thought anil purpo-e of life (Matt, xlll: IS), ami ixpiev.es a stato of frv qutnt mention In Scripture under wiiovu as pects. (I'mlm 11: 1J; Isa. vl: 10: Acts ill: 1'Jj James v: 11). It is illltirult to the rich (Matt, xlx: 23), and Is frequently attended with pain (Acts xiv: 22). It Is tho struight or nairuw entrance way (f.uko xlll: 2(), a new birth (John lit: 0), resulting in righteousness (Matt, v: 20; xiii 21). Or, briefly, tho kingdom will bo composed not of the descendants of Abraham (Matt, ill: 0), but of chlldicn under nurture and those who, by change of heart and lifo ic. turn to the child state, and so become the chil dren of God (Matt, vi 45), constituting a fam ily d'pli. iii: IS), among whom all arc equals (Matt, xxlli: S). CONDUCT. In such a kingdom theic Is no need cf rulers to exercise authority as in human society. So far as honor is concerned each much prefer tho other (Horn, xll: 10; 1'hll. li: S). Hut there is needed a class ot officials for service and they aro giratest who servo most and best (Matt, xx: 20). Jesus then outlines the proper conduit of those who serve, thus I coming to the work of tho apostles (Verses S to 10), under three heads. They arc lo reeelve the members, give them no oflense and be care ful not to despise them. Jesus calls tho mem bers little ones, retaining tho idea, and declares that who so receives them receives Him, which last thought He afterward expressed (Matt, x: 40, 42; John xlili 20). On the matter cf otftn.es or causing members to stumble, He is very emphatic, saying that It were better to b drowned, referring to a mode of capital pun ishment practiced by the Greeks, Tho apos tles allude to this latter (Horn, xiv: 13; I Cor. vill: 0), He is drawn out to express the tcr. rible consequences to the world through the offenses of men of position which He might have illustrated (Gen. ill) 1, I Sam. Ill IT, lantle," or "When I was nt the sen shore," etc., will bo a great privilege and compensation. TEMPEST TOSSED. Head winds bring n rolling ship In high sens. Now and then a lurch of the ship sends a dash of spray through the port holes and causes a scream ing and scattering of tho clans. Now wo are being treated to a heavy fog. Tho fog horn sounds at Intervals of a minute. Tho ship's watch Is doubled and extra precautions are taken by the officers and crew for tho safety of all. When danger threatens how sweet to trust In Him who holds tho world In His hand. God moves in a injurious way. Ills wonders to performi Ho plant Ills footsteps on tlic sea Ami rides upon the storm.

Lectures In the saloons, music and merriment are the order of tlic ila. The principle deck games aro "Ship Shullle Hoard" and "Rope Ring Toss." Tho band generally discourses sx.eet music, but, alas! today they struck a discordant note for Endeav ors. Some of the young people took It in their head and heels to dance while the band made a miserable fist at trying to play "A Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight." How people can be gay to such a burlesque on music Is a mystery. 1 am glad neither Mr. Hauer nor Mr. Lawrence was present. Sernnton bands discourse music, but the ship's music today would have set our leaders distracted. A SUNSET AT SEA. What a beautiful sight Is a sunset at sea. The shifting clouds, crimson nnd golli n, form a kaleidoscope of 21; If Sam. Ml: 14), and pronounces a woo upon lire offender, pcrhap-i with Judas In mind (Acts i: IS, 20). To protect them against jii.v misdemeanors He urges them tn iat away cverjlhlng that may lead them astray (.Matt. : 20, :;0), in harmony with other Scripture (Isa. li: 20, 21; Horn, xill: 12), and wains thcin by e.xpouro to hell fire (Luki i: 23; 2 'I lies. I: 8. !0. Jeus was specially anxious that tin apostle? should not leplso any of Ills follow ers, that Is, think lightly of them. Poverty, i.-noraiii e, or lowly station might lead to this. The apostles themselves ic-itcralcd the senti ment (Horn. l: 1, 3; Gal. iv: 11; I 'lhcs. Iv: S), To enforce this point Jesus ilcclarcil that every follower had an angrl who always be held tho I'athcr's face, who was In the presence and favor of Cud. This doctrine cf angelic gitradumhlp Is Scriptural (IValm xxxtv: 7; Heb. i: II), and it was calculated to help tho ambi tious apostles to Just views of their wuik. HVAMPI.i:. Having covered tho cluiacter ol members and tho conduct of oihYIals, Jesus pro- reeus to eMiimt tire foundation principles ot the kingdom, to show tho wisdom of the foie going. 1. It Is In accordance with His own spirit and work, for Ho came to five the lost (Matt ix: U I Tim. t: 15), not to be minis tired unto but to minister (Matt, xx: 2). To make them understand such n unique career us His He likens it to that of a shepherd seeking lost sheep, a figure frequently used In tho Old Testament concerning Israel (I'salm exix: 170; Isa. llil: 0; Jcr: 1-0). Hie scattering in tlic mountains (I Kings xxll: 17; Kck. xxxlv: (.). was highly expressive of sinful wandering. lie declares that Ills Joy (Heb. xll: 2) wxs like that of the shepherd after a succii.sful search (la. llii: li; Zt..pi,. ill: 17,. It then fore fob lows that If Jesus Is here on such an triand His kingdom mint have officials to serve tle whom He seeks to save no other would be of any im to Him. Indeol this spirit and mis slon determine every feature of the kingdom. 2. Advancing a point further lie opens the very heart of (Joel In which all thluers bad flinr origin (John ill: Ifl), and declares that it is no' will of Ills that any of the little ones (men. beis of tho Kingdom) should perish. This Idea finds frequent cxpiosalui In Seilpture (Luke xll: aj; John vl: 31-10; Ite.in. xlli: Jl). Tlic forte of the section (Verses 10 to II) seems to be this, "I came to save, and jnur Father does lint wish any to be lost, thercfoie, lire apostles mo charged with a" solemn duty as servants and guaidlans, and not as masters and rulers." CONTUSION', The human ami the Divine view of the heavenly kinudom are in strlkln? conlia.t. Coming to it with worldly thoughts, ignorant, selfish and ambitious, men strive for place and honor. Il.v their discussions and Intrigues the church has lecn scandalized and many little ones have been offended. Untold calamities have thereby como to society and an awful retribution awaits tlico offenders. Hut tho loving Jesus sull sicks to savo the o.t and to bring under Ills benign government tho souls of men, Happy they who accept Him. Lived by the Father, guarele,! by tho angels, one household of brethren, theirs is tlic true spiri tual kingdom (Matt, v; 3), For the spread ol that kingdom let all labor and pray (Matt, vi. 10).

Tho glimmer and glint nnd glnre of the moonlight on tho sea Is also a most beautiful sight. The phos phorescent glow in tho silvery wnko of tho ship Is nn entrancing sight for the novitiate nt sea. Tho Jolly tar, on the midnight wntch, strikes eight bells beforo tho deck's strollers glvo plnco to tho stato rooms' dreamland sleepers. Much interest 13 awnkened by a ripening attachment between tho ship's physician nnd one of the lady passen gers, a school mnrm of Philadelphia. They are tho observed of nil observers. They stand by the rail In the twilight; they sit and basque in tho beautiful moonlight; they whisper and hold each others' hands at midnight; they but, why continue so many others in tho passing years have llpcned for tho marriage altar In tho same old way. Occasionally an evening mist ap pears, dampening tho nrdor of most sensible people on deck, who gracefully retire to stato looms or saloons. Hut not all forsake their favorite haunts and habits. Cuddled up In sheltered nooks and hidden under steamer blankets are several couples affected by heart disease. It would take a do luge to dampen tho ardor of lovers like some wo see nt sea. This Is real ly tho only contagious disease wo have on board. Several seem to be deeply affected. The symptoms aro llrst in dicated In the numerous little atten tions nnd cm lous glances and name less pleasantries, showing cleaily that the disease first attacks the mind. Tho second stage Is nn acute affection of tho heart. This ithc most alarming condition, because of tho serious com plications likely to arise.

"I have taken a couple of doses since each week during the winter, and I find it keeps me from contracting any colds, nnd my general health hns been unusually good this entire winter, due I firmly believe to the health-giving qualities of your wonderful remedy."
