12 SHIP THAT COULD NOT BE WRECKED Most Famous Sea Voyage in Literature Told in Sunday School Lesson (By William T. Ellis. ) "All aboard!" Enough of riots and conspiracies and venomous ecclesias tics and petty kings. Paul is through ivith his adventures on land, for a time, at least, and takes ship for Rome. He has appealed to Caesfir and to Caesar lie must go. Here be gins the most famous sea voyage in all literature. The waters of the Mediterranean, which shine so blue as they lap the shore of Caesarea, can be as boister ous and powerful and treacherous as ■the mid-Atlantic. AH the literature of the classics that deals with the sea means this "Middle Sea'' or "Great) Bca," now nowly In the world's thought because of the troopships and war vessels that at the present time • crowd Its waters. I myself have sailed most of the seas of earth, but none can approach in historic, interest or natural beauty this great land-locked sea which has borne upon its bosom the commerce and navies of all the (treat natlonsfl from remotest anti quity. Pitifully small to our eyes seems the craft in which Paul embarked for his momentous voyage. It could be hidden in one of the holds of a mod ' ern liner. It had no motive power ex cept heavy sails and man-smiled oars. I It. was entirely of wood, and had no division Into compartments, or any ' of tho other safety devices of modern ' seamanship. When trouble arose it i could not call by wireless, and when ! stars and sun were blotted out, the j I mariners were at a dead loss, for they i ( had no compass. Stout were the . hearts of tho sailors who adventured ! tho cruel Mediterranean In such frail j vessels. A Voyage of Romance Because tne greatest historian In the world was aboard the little boat as companion to the distinguished prisoner, Paul of Tarsus, we have a graphic account of the storms and final shipwreck. Dr. Luko and Broth er Aristarchus, of Thessalonlca, were tho sort of friends who stand by in adversity. Aristarchus, it will be re membered, was with Paul in tho riot at Epheaus, and underwent, imprison ment for him. Of him, and two oth ers, the apostle wrote, at the close of his letter tothe Colossians, "They are J men who have been a comfort to me." What it meant to Paul, as he saw the ] shores of Caesarea fade, to have by his side Luke, the peerless historian, whose writings wo ore now studying, and Aristarchus, the humble, devoted helper who was ever alert to ease his leader's lot, we can easily imagine. In heaven's histories account is taken of all tlieso Inconspicuous sharers In a great work. There the wives of the | ministers, the women who support the prayer meetings and missionary so cieties and teach the Sunday school classes will not be without their moed of reward. Because Dr. Luke, with his observ ant eye, was aboard the ship, we have this complete record of the romantic voyage. He makes us see, by a few lines, the gentlemanly oitlcer, Captain Julius; the few other prisoners; the brutal soldiers, the cowardly sailors and the thrifty owners. We can fol low every mile of the great Journev. Sidon, rock-bound old Sldon, with its streets vaulted like tunnels, and its effulgent orango groves, was the first stop, and there, Dy the courtesy of Julius, Paul was allowed to fellow ship with his friends. Thence the boat bore across the sea, under the lee of Cyprus (now a British island, where the warships foregather) and ran up the coast of Asia Minor, along the route at present patrolled by the allied fleet. That carried them past Paul's old home, Tarsus. We wonder what were his sensations as he stood by the rail, looking toward the famil iar Cilician Plain, and the Taurus mountains beyond. At Myra the prisoners were trans ferred to another ship, one from Alexandria, in Egypt, bound for Italy. This was the craft which, with the 276 souls aboard, underwent the later furies of the storm. The real troubles began at Crete, where the ship sought for harbor at Fair Havens. This was the same Crete that we have of late been reading about In the newspapers, which has revolted from the Athens government, and In which Mr. Venezelos has raised the standard of rebellion. An Old Soa-Tale From this point, let us permit Dr. Duke, in whose ears was the shriek of the wind, aifd beneath whose feet the frail bark had trembled, and who had shared in all .the counsels of the storm-tossed leaders, toll the story for himself. T quote from a modern trans lation of the Greek In which he wrote: "Our voyage thus far had occupied a considerable time, and the naviga tion being now unsafe and the Fast also already over, Paul warned them. " 'Sirs,' he said, 'I perceive that be fore long the voyage will be attended with danger and heavy loss, not only to the cargo and the ship but to our own lives also. "But Julius let himself be per suaded by the pilot and by the owner rather than by Paul's arguments; and as the harbor was inconvenient for wintering in, the majority were in favor of putting out to sea, to try whether they could get to Phoenix — a harbor on the coast of Crete facing northeast and southeast—to winter there. And a light breeze from the south sprang up, so that they supposed they wero now sure of their purpose. So weighing anchor they ran along the coast of Crete, hugging the shore. But it was not long before a furious northeast wind, coming down from the mountains, burst upon us and carried the ship out of her She was unable to make headway against the gale; so we gave up and let her drive 1 hen we ran under the lee of a little Island called Cauda, where we man aged with great difficulty to secure the boat; and, after hoisting it on board they used frapping-cables to under glrd the ship, and, as they were afraid of being driven on the Svrtis quick sands, they lowered the gear and lay to. But, as the storm was still violent, the next day they began to lighten the ship, and, on the third day, with their ■own hands they threw the ship's spare gear overboard. Then, when for sev eral days neither sun nor stars were seen and the terrific gale still har rassed us. the last ray of hope was now vanishing. "When for a long time they had taken but little food, Paul, standing up among them said, " "Sirs, you ought to have listened to me and not have sailed from Crete. Tou would then have escaped this suf fering" and loss. But now take cour age, for there will be no destruction of life amongr you, but of the ship onlv. For there stood by my side, last night, an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom also I worship, and He Bald, " ' "Dismiss all fear. Paul, for you must stand before Caesar; and God has granted you the lives of all who are sailing with you." " 'Therefore, Sirs, take courage; for I believe God, and am convinced that things will happen exactly as I have been told. But we are to bo stranded on a certain Island.' "It was now the fourteenth night, and we were drafting through the Sea of Adrla, when, about, midnight, the sailors suspected that land was close at hand.

S9£ I found twenty fathoms of water; and after a short time they hove again and found fifteen fathoms. Then for fear of possibly running on rocks, they threw out four anchors from the stern and waited Impatiently for day light. The sailors, however, wanted to make their escape from the ship, and had lowered the bout into (lie sea, pretending that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow. But Paul, addressing Julius and the sol diers, said, " 'Your lives will be sacrificed, un less these men remain on board.' "Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship's boat and let her fall off. "And continually, up till daybreak, Paul kept urging all on board to take some food. " 'This is the fourteenth day," he said, 'that you have been apxlously waiting for the storm to cease, and have fasted, eating little or nothing. I therefore strongly advise you to take some food. This is essential for your safety. For not a hair will perish from" the head of any one of you.' "Having said this he took some bread, and, after giving thanks to God ■for it before them all, he broke it In pieces and began to eat it. This raised the spirits of all, and they too took food. There were 276 of us, crew and passengers, all told. After eating a hearty meal they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat overboard."

Captain Julius, and every body aboard the ship, knew Paul for a distinguished personage, who had recolved marked attention from two governors and a king, and who was bound for Rome with an appeal to Caesar himself. More than that the personality of the man vindicated his pre-eminence, in a time of trouble, real ability comes to the fore. Ad versity tests men. In many a battle, the sergeant or corporal has been be fore the captain or the lieutenant Every critical situation reveals new heroes and leaders. Because Paul was the greatest man aboard the ship, ho naturally assumed the eladershlp. Althought they did not fully under stand its significance, all the men aboard the boat realized that this man Paul had personal relations with the Supreme Ruler of sea and earth. They knew him as God's man. And ; when death becomes a near neighbor, ; it is the man of God to whom we j look, even as everybody aboard the | wrecked "Spree," In 1892 turned to] Dwlght L. .Moody for leadership In] Intercession with the Lord of the wa- j ters. Of all the precious cargoes that have | been carled across the Mediterranean, this lumbering, leaky ship for Alex- j andria held the most priceless. For Paul bore that which was mightier than the laws of Rome, mightier than the philosophy of Greece, mightier j than the legions of the Caesars or the navy of the Persians. He was custo- I dinn of the revolutionary Gospel of Christ, that was destined to enter the decadent life of Rome and lie a leaven straightway of sincerity, purity, mercy and love. Much folly Is uttered In the name of "evolution." Rome was devolut ing toward deatli. Her progress was downward, despite all her wealth and wisdom. Yet thlß Gospel which Paul carried was able to cut athwart these natural tendencies, and at once make clean, holy and happy men and wom en out of these Romans. Out of the ruins of old heathen Rome grew the Holy Roman Empire, because of the truth of which Paul was the messen ger. That little ship was more im portant to the world's welfare than any other that ever sailed the seas. It held the beginnings of a now world order, far mightier than any that Rome instituted. Fireflies Freed as Salute to Emperor ToUio, Oct. 27.—As a salutation to Emperor Yoshiliito, a number of schoolchildren recently marched to the Imperial palace, where, at a glvpn signal, they released a swarm of lire flies, numbering about 10,000, which they had gathered and inclosed in tiny cages. A paper lantern bearing the imperial crest was waved from the palace rampart acknowledging the tribute.
