it seems as if we shall bine a quiet

a ripple disturbed tae lace of I ieiinesarel .
Hut there seems to be a little excitement
up the beach, and wo hasten to see what
it is, and wo tind it an embarkation. Krom
the western shore a llotiiia pushing out;
not a squadron of deadly urmament, not
clipper with valuable merchandise, not
piratic vessels ready to destroy everything
they could seize, but a flnt'illa. bearing
messengers of light and life and peace.
Christ is in the stun of the boat. His
disciples are in '.he bow and amidships,
.lesns, weary with much speaking to large
multitudes, is put into somnolence by the
rocking of the waves. If there was any
motion at all, the ship was easily righted;
if the wind passed from start oard to lar
board, the boat would rock and. ny the
gentleness ot the motion, putting the Mas
ter asleep. And they extemporized n pil
low made out of a fisherman's coat. I
think no sooner is Christ prostrate and
His head touched the pillow than He is
sound asleep. The breezes of the lake run
their fingers through t! .? locks of the worn
sleeper, and the boat rises mid falls like
a sleeping child on the bosom of u sleep
ing mother.
(.'aim night, starry night, beautiful
night! Hun up all the sails, ply all the
oars, and let the large boat and the small
boat glide over gentle Cennesaret. Hut
the sailors say there is going to be a
change of weather. And eve- the pas
sengers can hear the moaning of the storm
us it conies on with great stride and all
the terrors of hurl Hi. nc and darkness.
The large boat trembles like a deer at bay
amoiig the clangor of the hounds: great
patches of foam are flung into the air;
the sails of the vessel loosen and ill the
strong wind crack like pistols; the smaller
boats, like Htii'ls. poise on tne cliffs of
the waves and then plunge. Overboard
go cargo, tackling i.iul masts, ami the
drenched disciples rush int. the back part
of the boat ami lay hold of Christ and say
unto Him. ".Master, carcst Thou not that
we perish?" That great personage lifts
His head fi'oni the pillow ot the fisher
man's coat, walks to the front of the ves
sel and looks out into the storm. All
urouml Him are the smaller boats, driven
in the tempest, and through it comes the
cry of drowning men. Jfv the flash of the
lightning 1 see the calm inow of Christ as
the spray dropped Ironr His beard. He
has one word lor tne sky anil another for
the waves. Looking upward, lie cries,
'"Peace!"' Looking ilownwurd. ale says,
"He still!" The waves fall flat on their
iaces. the foam melts, the extinguished
stars relight .heir torches. The tempest
falls dead, and Christ stands with His
foot on the neck of the storm. And while
the sailors are baling out me boats and
while they are tryhig to untangle the cord
age the disciples si. id in amazement, now
looking into the calm sea, then into the
calm sky, then into the calm Saviour's
countenance, and they cry out, "What
manlier of a nian is this, that even the
winds and the sea oliev 11 mi?"
The subject, in the first place, impresses
me with the fact tint - it is very important
to have Christ in the ship, tor all those
boats would have gone to the bottom of
(Jcnnesaret if Christ had not been present.
Oh. what a lesson for you and for me to
learn! Whatever voyage we undertake,
into whatever enterprise we star:, let us
always' have Christ in tne ship. All you
can do with utmost tension ol uody. mind
mid soul you are bound to do, but, oh,
have Christ in every enterprise!
There ure men w ask (tod's help at
the beginning or great enterprises. He
has been with them in the past; no
trouble can overthrow them; the storms
might come down from the top of Mount
lleriuon and lash (ienucsaret into loam
and into agony, but it could not hint
them. Hut here is another man who starts
out in worldly enterprise, and he depends
upon the uncertainties of thii life. He
has no (iod to help hir.i. After awhile
the sforin comes, tosses off the masts of
the ship; he puts out his bid out and the
longboat; the shell II and the auction! ci
te V to help him cti'; they can't hel,i him
off; he must go down; no Christ in the
ship. Your lite will be made up of sun
shine and shadows. There may be in it
arctic blasts or tropical tornadoes; X
know not what is before you, but J know
if vou have Christ with you an shall be
well. You may seem to get along with
out the religion of Christ while everything
goes smoothly, but utter awhile, when
sorrow hovers over the soul, when the
waves of trial dash clear over the hurri
cane deck, and tha decks are crowded with
piratical disasters oh, what wodd you
do then without Christ in the snm? Take
iod for your portion, (iod lor your guide,
I iod for your liclp; tnen all as well; ull is
well for a time, 1.1 shall be well forever.
Messed is that man who puts in the Lord
his trust. He shall never be confounded.
Hut my subject also impresses me with
the fact that when people, start to follow
Christ they must not expect smooth sail
ing. These disciples got into the tnnall
boats, and 1 have no doubt they said,
"What a bountiful duy this is! How de
lightful is sailing in this bunt! And us
lor the waves under the keel of the boat,
whv, thev only make the motion of our
little bout the inure delightful." Hut
when the winds swept down und the sen
wuh tossed into wrath, then they found
thut following Christ was not smooth sail
ing. (So you have found it; so 1 have
found it.
Did you ever notice the end of the life
of the apostles ot .leans Christ? You
wvuld any if ever meat ought to have ljad
smooth life, a smooth departure, thev
those men, the disciples of Jesus Christ,
ought to huve had such a departure and
such a life. hit. James just his head. St
Philip was hung to deuth on a pillar. St.
Matthew hud his life unshed out with a
halberd. St. Murk wus dragged to death
through the streets, hit. James the es
wus beaten to deuth with a fuller's club.
ISt. Thonius was struck through with a
spear. Thev did not find following Christ
smooth sailing. Oh, how they were all
tossed in the tempest! John lluss in a
fire; Hugh McKuil in the hour of martyr
dom; the Albigenses, the ahlclises. tho
Kcotch Covenanters did they find it
smooth sailing? Hut why go into history
when we cau draw from our own meu.ory
illustrations ot the truth of what I say?
A young man in a store trying t serve
24i.wJulit. fell-employer scoffs at.C'hxir
nanny; the young men in the same tori,
antagonistic to the ( hristian religion,
ifasing him, tormenting him about his re
ligion, trying to get him mad. They suc
ceed in getting him mad anil sav, "You're
a pretty Christian!" Does that young
man tind it smooth sailing when he triet
to follow Christ? Or you remember a
Christian girl. Her father despises the
( hristian religion: her mother despises
the (.'hristian religion; her brothers and
sisters scoff at tbe Christian religion: nh
can hardly lind a ouiet place in which to
say her prayers. Did she tind it smooth
sailing when she tried to follow .lesus
Christ? Oh. no! All who would live the
life of the Christian religion must sutler
persecution. If you do not find it in one
way you will get it in another way. Hut
lie not disheartened! Take cournge. Yon
are in a glorious companionship. Ood
will see you through all trials, and He
will deliver you.
My subject also impresses me with the
fact that good people sometimes get fright
ened. In the tones of these disciples ss
they rushed into the back pnrt of the
boat I tind thev are frightened almost to
death. They say. "Master, rarest Thou
not that we perish?" They had no reason
to lie frightened, for Christ was in the
boat. 1 suppose if we had been there we
would have been just as much affrighted.
I'erhaps more. In all ages very good peo
ple get very much affrighted. It is often
so in our day, and men say: "Why, look
at the bad lectures. Look at the various
errors going over the church of (Iod. We
arc going to founder. The church is going
to perish. She is going down." Oh, how
many good people are affrighted bv in
iquity in our day and think the church of
.lesus Christ is going to be overthrown,
and are just as much affrighted us were
the disciples of my text! Don't worry,
don't fret, as tiiough iniquity were going
to triumph over righteousness. A lion
goes into a cavern to sleep. He lies (low 1
with his shaggy mane covering the paws.
Meanwhile the spiders spin a web across
the mouth of the cavern and suy. "We
have captured him." (iossamer thread
after gossamer thread until the whole
front of the cavern is covered with tbe
spider's web, mid the spiders say, "Tho
lion is done; the lion is fust."' After
awhile the lion has got througli sleeping.
He rouses himself, he shakes his mane, he
walks out into the sunlight. He does not.
even know the spider's web is spun, and
with his roar he shakes the mountain. So
men come spinning their sophistries and
skepticism about .lesus Christ. He seems
to be sleeping. They say: "We have cap
tured the Lord. He will never come forth
again upon the nation. Christ is overcome
forever. His religion will never make any
conquest among men." Hut after awhile
the Lion of the tribe of Judnh will rouse
Himself and come forth to shake mightily
the nations. What's a spider's web to the
aroused lion? (live truth und error a fair
grapple, and truth will come off victor.
Do not be afraid of a great revival. Oh.
that such gales from heaven might sweep
through ull our churches! Oh, for such
days as tiichard Haxter saw in Kngland
and Hubert McChcyne saw in Dundee!
Ob, for such days lis Jonathan Kdwards
saw in Northampton! I have often heard
my t'uthcr tell ot the fact that in the early
part of this entury there broke out a re
vivnl at Sotnerville, N. .).. and some peo
jile were very much ugitated about it.
i'hey said: "You are going to bring too
many people into the church at onre."
and they sent down to New Hrunswick
to get John Livingston to stop the re
vival. Well, there was no better soul in
all the world than John Livingston. He
went nnd looked at the revival. They
wanted him to stop it. He stood in tlu
pulpit on the Lord s duy and looked over
the solemn auditory and he said- "This,
brethren, is in reality the work of (iod.
Hewnre how you stop it." Am! he was
mi old man, leaning heavily on his staff
n very old man. And he lifted that staff
and took hold of the small end of the staff
and began to let it fall slowly through be
tween the linger and the tlininb. and he
suid: "Oh, thou impenitent, thou art fall
ing now falling from life, falling away
from peace und heaven, falling as certain
ly as that" cane is falling through mv hand
falling certainly, though perhaps fulling
slowly!" And the cane kept on falling
through John Livingston's hand. The re
ligious emotion in the audience was over
powering, nnd men saw a type of their
doom as the cane kept falling and falling,
until the knob of the cane struck Mr.
Livingston's hand, and he clasped it stout
ly and said: "Hut the grace of (iod can
stop you us I stopped that cane." and
then there wus gladness nil through the
house nt the tact of pardon und pence and
salvation. "Well." said the people alter
the service, "I guess you had hotter send
Livingston home. He is making the re
vival worse." Oh, for gales from heaven
to sween ull the continents! The danger
of tbe church of (iod is not in revivals.
I learn once more from this subject that
Christ can hush a tempest. It did seem
as it everything must go to ruin. The dis
ciples hud given up the idea of managing
the ship: the crew were entirely demoral
ized; yet Christ rises, ami the storm
crouches nt His-feet. Oh. yes. Christ can
bush the tempest! You have had trouble.
I'erhaps it was the little child taken away
from you the sweetest child of the house
hold, the one who asked the most curious
questions, und stood around you with the
grentest fondness, mid the spade cut down
through your bleeding heart. Perhaps it
was uu only sou, and your neart has ever
since been like a destituted rustle, the owls
of the night hooting among the fallen
arches and the crumbling stairways. Or
ull your property swept away, vou said:
"I hud so much bunk stock: 1 hail so mnnv
(iovcrnincnt securities; I had so many
houses; I had so mnnv farms all none,
al gone." Why. sir. all the storms flint
ever trampled with their thunders, all the
shipwrecks, have not been worse than this
to you. Y'et you have not been complete
ly overthrown. Why? Christ says: "I
have that little one in My keeping. I can
cure for him us well us you inn, better
than you can. () bereaved mother!'' Hush
ing the tempest. When your property went
nwuv away, Ood said, 'There ure treasures
in heaven in banks thut never break."
Jesus hushing the tempest,
, There is one storm info which we will
all have to run. The moment when we
let go of this world, ami try to take hold
of the next we will want ull the grace pos
sible. Yonder I see u I hristian soul rock
ing on the surges of .death. All the powers
of darkness seem let out against that soul
the swirling wave, the thunder of the
sky, the shriek of the wind, nil seem to
unite together. Hut that soul is not
troubled. There is no sighing, there are no
tears; plenty of tears in the room at the
departure, but he weeps no tears calm,
satisfied and peucet'ulj-ull is well. Hy the
Hash of the storm you see the harbor just
ahead, and you ure making for that har
bor. All shall be well, Jesus being our
pilot.
Into the harbor of heaven now we glide;
We're home ut Tast, home ut last.
Softl.v we drift on the bright, silv'ry tide;
We're home nt Inst.
Glory to Ood, ull our dangers are o'er;
We stund secure on the glorilied shore!

We're home at Inst.

1 1 Memory Versus, 9-1'J Commentary
in tho Day's Lesson.
CoNnrrTisn Links. Thatwelve apostle
who had been sent out over Onlllee were
preaching and healing the sick, when, sud
denly, came tbe uewsthat John theBnptlst
had been beheaded. The disciples hast
ened to Jesus, probably at Capernaum,
and all retired across the sea of Galilee,
to the lonely plain at the foot of the hills
near Botlisahln, Just outside of Herod's
dominions. Multitudes followed them.
Ii. "Lifted up His eyos." This was In the
afternoon, toward evening, "when the day
began to wear away." Iuko 9:12. Tbe
Jews had two evenings, th first began at
three o'clock, tbe sooond at sHx o'clock:.
'A great eompauy." He was moved with
compassion and walkod among tne peoplo,
teaching tlinti many things nml neallug
their sick. His disciples eallefl His atten
tion to the faat that this was n desert
place, and as the nualtltmln had been there
since morning, It was time to dismiss the
congregation so that the people aould go
and buv victuals, lout they faint by the
way. .Matt. 14:U, 15. "lie salth unto
riillip." Philip live ! at HetusHldu, n, city
Dear Capernaum, and not the Dethsaldn
where this miracle was performed, as some
have supposed. He was probably the pro
vider for the disciples, as Judas was the
treasurer, "Whence are we to buy broad."
It. V. Christ had led their souls, and healed
tlialr bodies and now He proposes to feed
their bodle, and thus show that Ho is able
to provide lor all their necessities.
6. "To prove Hlra." l'hlllp bad Jesus
foi more tbnn two year.-., and It was now
time that he, and tbe ret of the apostles,
should begin to have wide conceptions
of Christ's ability. "Kaew what Ho would
do." Our Lord Is nover ut a loss lu His
counsels, but in the most difficult case He
knows what course He wll! pursue.
Christ proposed the question to test
I'lilllp's faith. This gives us a glimpse In
to the educational method of the great
Teacher. He knew how many people wore
there, how much bread It would take, bow
many fish He would want to fei.l tbat
crowd.
7. "Two hundred pennyworth." The
penny was a silver coin and was worth
about sixteen cents. Tho value ol the
bread necessary would be, therefore, about
tHJ. This appears to have been all that
our Lord and all of His disciples were
worth of this world's goods. This amount
at that time, with them, would probably
represent an actual value equal to ten
times the same amount now, with us.
Peloubct thluks that In this "conference
between Jesus and His disciples as co ways
and means," there was some discussion,
und that at this point tbe apostles advised
sending the multitude away, whereupon
Jesus said, "Give ye them to eat" (Luke);
the apostles then asked lu dismay, Khali
we go and buy this great amount of bread?
Jesus asked bow much they bad (Mark),
and Andrew said, Five loaves and two
small fishes.
II. "There ts a lad here." The multitude
bad not thought of their temporal necessf
ties, so anxious wore thny to seo and bear
Jesus, and this lud, "who had charge of
the provisions of the company to which He
belonged," had all that could be found.
"Loaves. :. .fishes." Tbe loaves were
round, flat cakes like large crackers. Bar
ley was their poorest food. The fish were
email, dried or pickled, und were eaten
with bread, like our sardines. "But what
are they?" No jooaer did Andrew muko
this little suggestion than he felt half
nsbamed and would have withdrawn It.
10. "Make the men sit." Iu orderly
ranks for tho eonventeut distribution of
tbe food. Mark says they snt by hundreds
and fifties. They appear here as heads of
families around whom, in many cases,
women and childrau wore grouped, though
the men alone were arranged In companies
and numbered, while the women and chil
dren were sorved separately, as Oriental
custom required, "Munlt grass." Tho
grass was ready for mowing at this time of
the year." "About flvo thousand." Be
sides women unit ohlldren. Mutt. 14:21.
There must have beou ten thousand per
sons to feed. Jesus had arranged tbuiu no
tbey oould easily be counted.
11. "Jesus took the loaves." Thus anting
like the master ot a family among tbe Jews,
wlio took tho bread Into his hands to givo
thanks to God, before any at tho table
were permitted to eat. J-U3 had one lonf
for a thousand men, besides the womou
and oblldrou. V may bavo but llttlo, but
If we will give the little wo liuvo to Justin,
He will multiply It a thousand-fold and
puss it back to us, and :;rai.t'is the privi
lege of passing It out to the starving, sin
burdened multitudes. "Given thanks."
Jesus thus snli us an example; wo should
never eat without first thanking Ood for
our food, and asking His blesslui; upon it.
"Distributed tj tho disciples." Thero has
beun much discussion as to just how tbe
miracle was performed. Did the brood
multiply In the bands of Jesus, or In the
hands of tbe disciples, or, as some think,
did tho disciples put a piece ot bread and
llh In the bands of thoso who sat at the
ends of tho ranks with orders O givo it to
tholr companions? Thero is no doubt In
my mind but thut the food mnltlpliad all
along the line. Jesus handed out to His
disciples; It Increased In their hnnd-i as
they banded out to tbe multitude, and us
it was. passed from one ts another the
bread and fish continued to swell lu their
hands until thoy all had enough and to

Before a meeting of the Biological
Society of Washington Mr. W. A.
Oi ton desoribed the resnlt of experi
ment" made to determine the cause of
the flow of maple . sap in the early
spring. His conclusion was Jhat the
flow has a mechanical cause, being
due to the increasing heat which ex
pands tbe gases in tbe wood cells,
and thus forcibly expels the sap.
This contradicts the view that the
flow of sap is, due only to physiolog
ical action in tbe plant.
The peculiar condition of the at
mosphere over southern England and
western France on January 11th gave
rise to extraordinary exhibitions of
solar halos, or sun dogs, described iu
the scientific journals of both coun
tries. The phenomena were very
beautiful, the sun being surrounded
wiU concentric circles and inverted
arches, showing rainbow colors, while
mock suus appeared among the halos.
They were caused by clouds of minute
ice crystals floating at a great eleva
tion. Recent observations tending to show
that ants possess a sense of hearing
have recently been described. Pro

discovered that a colony of black antt
vas thrown into a state of great ex
citement by sounds of one partioulat
pitch. Other sounds did not affect
them, but when the peculiar note wai
struck, either on a violin or with
whistle, the ants would become ex
cited, and if t he sounds were continued
would grow frautic, some of them fall

their nest. Ants of other BpecieB paiai

began to observe it at such a speed
that It would run from New York tc

Labrador's Wealth of Iron,
Under the present conditions thf
ores of the interior and Uugava Bay
are useless owing to the lack of rail
way or other communication. Thf
deposits on the islands of Hudson Bay
lie immediately alongside of deep
water, and so there would be no dilU
culty in loading on shipboad, but the
long carriage through Hudson Strait
and the shortness of tbe season of navi
gation, three audone-hulf months, are
serious considerations it connection
with the profitable working of these
deposits.
No coal exists about Hudson Bay or
in Labrador, and the wood for char
coal would have to be transported
from the southern part of Hudson
Bay. The only supply of fuel in the
neighborhood is found in the great
masses of driftwood on the islands and
shores of the bay, and it is doubtful
if this would answer tho purposes of
smelting.
There are excellent water powers iu
the neighborhood, which might be
used if a cheap method of electric
smelting were discovered, Engineer
