No answer. Ito went on board the vesonl ami found thn man sitting at tho logbook, frornn to death. The logbook was dated 1 76a, showing that the vessel had been wan dering for thirteen ynnrs among the ice. Thn sailor wore found fronon among tha hammocks and othnm in the cabin. Fot thirteen years this ship had been carrying it burden of corpses. Ho from this gospel craft to-dar I desort vovagors tor eternity, t err: "rthln nhov! Mhlpahoy!" No answer.

Aris from tho dead, and Christ shall give tlrna life. Again, notion that men am aronvd by th most unexpected mnnn. If Jonah had been told ono year before that a heathen n captain would ever awaken him to a nnnsa of danger, he would haw scoffed nt the idea, but here it is done. Ho now men In strangest ways aro aroused from spiritual stupor. A profnno mnn Is brought to conviction by the shocking blasphemy of a comrade. A man attending ohumh and hearing a srmon from thn text, "Tho ox knownth his ownnr," eto., Rons homn Impressed, but, crossing his barn yard, an or comn up and lick his hand, and hn says: "There It Is now. 'The ox knoweth hi owner and the a hi master's crib,' but I do not know GoV Thn cnrelnss remark of a tnamster hoe led a man to thoughtful ne nml heaven. Thn child's remark i 'Father, they have prayers at uncle's houso. Why don't we have them'" has lirouRht salva tion to thn dwelling. By "trnngest ways ami In tho most nnnx pected manner men aro awakened. The gar doner of the Countess of Huntingdon was convicted of sin by hearing the countess on tho opnositu side of thn wall talk about Jesus. John Hardoak was aroused y dream, in which hn saw thn hist day, nnd thn judge sit ting, nnd hoard his own name called with terrible emphasis, "John Hardoak, come to Judgment!" Tho Lord hn a thousand way of waking up Jonah. Would that the mes sengers of mercy might now find their way down into the side of tho ship, and thnt many who aro unconsciously rocking In the awful tempest of their sin might henr the warnlugt 'What mennest thou, O sleeper? Arise aud onll upon thy God!" Again: I, earn that a man mnv wake un too lute. If, In-dond of slnepiug, Jonah had been on Ills knees cniifessitiR his sin from the time hn went on hoard tho craft, I think that God would have saved him from belnj thrown overboard. But ho wokn up too Into. Thotemest Is in full blast, nnd the sea, In convulsion, is lashing itself, nnd nothing will Btop It now but the overthrow of Jonah. Now, lest any of you should make thin mistake, I address you in the words of the Mediterranean sea captain: "What moan est thou, O, sleeper? Arise, call upon thy won, ii so on mat no.i win iniiiK upon us, that wn perish not." If you have a God, you iiad better can upon Illm. poyousnv. "I have no God?" Then you had better call upon your father's God. When your father was in trouble, whom did he fy to? Yon heard him In his old day tell nhout some terrible exposure in a snowstorm, or at sea, or in name, or among midnight gnrroters, and how ho escaped. 1'crhnp twenty years before you worn born your father mndo sweot acipinintance with God. There I something in the worn page of the Bible he used to read which make you think your father had a Ood. In thn old religious books lying around tho house, hero aro passages marked with a lend pencil passages that make you think your fnthcr was not a godless man. but that, on thnt dark day when ho lay In tha bank room dying he was mndy all mady. But perhaps your father was a had mnn prayer less aud a blasphemer nnd you never think, of him now without a shudder. He won nhipnd the world or his own nppntltna. Do not i nop, i nog oi you, call upon your rath er s God. but call on your mothor'n Ood. I think she was good. You remember when your father came home drunk Into nn a cold night, how patient your mother was. You often heard hor pray. She used to sit by tho hour meditating as though she wera thinking of some Rood, warm jdace, where It never gets cold, and whore tho broad doe not fall, and stnggeriug steps never come. You remember her now ns she sat lu can nnd spectacles rending her Bible Hunday aftor- noon. N hat good advice she used to givo you! How black nnd terrible tho hole in tho ground looked to you when with two ropes thny let her down to rest in tho graveyard! An. i think trom your loon that 1 am on tho right track. Awake, O sleeper, and call upon thy mother's God. But perhaps both your father and mothor wore depraved, l'erlmps your era die was rocked by sin nnd shame, aud It is a wonder that from such a starting vou have como to respectability. Thou don t call upon tha God of either of your nnrents I beg of you. nut you nave children, lou know God kindled those bright eyes and rounded those healthy limbs nnd set beating within their breast ail Immortality. 1'erhaps In the be lief that somehow it woiild be for the best you havo taught thorn ii say an evening prayer, nud when they kneel posldo you and fold their littlo hands ami look up, their faces all lnuononoe and love, you kuow that there is u God somewhere about in the room. i I think I am on tho right trn'k nt last. Awake, ) sleeper, and call upon tho God of thy children! May Ho set those littlo ones to pulling at thy heart until they charm thee to the samo God to whom to-night thuy will say their little prayers. But, alas, alas, soma or these mnn and wo men are unmoved by tho fact that their fither had a God. that their mother had a Ood, aud their children have a God, but they have no Ood. All the divine goodness for nothing. All warnlug for nothing. They aro sound asleep in the side of tho ship, though tho sea and sky are lu mad wrestle. Jla n y years ago a mnu, leaving tils family in Massachusetts, sailed from Boston to China to trade there. Un the coast of China In the mlilst of a night of storm ho made slii p wreck. The adventurer was washed up on me ueacn senseless an ins money gone. lie nnd to beg In the streets of Canton to keep from starving. For two y.isrs them was no communication between himself and family. They supposed him dead. Ho knew not but that his family were dead. He had gone out as a captain. Ho was too proud to eome back a a privute sailor. But after a while he choked down his pride and sailed for Boston. Arriving there he took an evening train for the center of the State, whore ha had left his family. Taking the stage from the depot and riding a soore of miles, ho got home. He says that, going up in front of tha cot tage lu the bright moonlight, the plaoa looked to mm like heaven. He rapped on the window, and the affrighted servant let him lu. Ho went to tha room whore hi wife aud child were steeping. He did not dure to wake them for fear of tha shock. Bending over to kiss hi child's cheek, a tear fell upuu the wife's face, nnd she wakened, and he said: "Mary!" aud aha knew his voice, and there was an indescribable scene of welcome and joy and thauksglviug to Hod. To-day 1 know that many of you are sea toiised and driven by sin lii a worst) storm thau thut whioh came down on the coast of China, and yet I pray God that you may, like the sailor, live to get home. In the house of many mansions your frionils are waiting to meet you. They are wondering why vou do not oome. Escaped from the shlpwreoks of earth, may you at last go in! It will be a bright night a very bright night as you put your thumb ou the latch of that door. Once In you will tlud the old family fa oes sweeter than when you last saw them, aud there it will be found that He who was your father's God, ami your mother's Ood, and your ohlldreu's God, is your own most blessed ltedeemer, to whom be glory aud dominion throughout all ages, world with out end. Amen. SABBATH SCHOOL IXTKUNATIONAL LKSSON AIC11ST It. FOR Lesson Tt: "The IJraxnn Ser pent," Num. xxl., 4-0 tloMrn Xtxl: John III., 14 Commentary. 4.
