. Never oft Goodwin sands or the Bkerrles
or Cape Hattaraswasashlpin worse predica
ment than, in tba Mediterranean hurricane,
was the grain ship oa which 276assengrs
were driven oa the coast ot Malta, five miles
from the metropolis of that Island, called
Citta Yeoahia. After a two weeks' tempest,
when the ship was entirely disabled and
captain and crew bad become completely
demoralised, - an old - missionary took
command of the vessel. Ha was small,
crooked-backei and sore-eyed; accord
ing to tradition. It was Paul, the only
uiiscared man aboard. Ha was no more afraid
or a Euroolydoa tossing the Mediterranean
sea, now up Io the gate ot heaven and now
sihUuglt to tbegHteeof hell, than be was
afraid ot a kitten playing with a string. lie
ordered tnera ali down to take their ration,
first asking tor them a blessing. Then he
insured ail their lives, tolling tbm they
would be rescued, and, so far from losing
uiuir iienus, laey wouia not lose SO muo
inoir nntr as you could cut oft with one

Knowing that thev can never trot to the?

so that when the shin strikes it will not
strike sohouvlly. At daybreak they saw u
creek aud In taolr exigency resolved to make
lor it. And so they out tho cuttles, took in
ttio two paddles they had on those old boats
and hoisted the main-mil so that they might
come with such force as to bo driven high,
up outhubcaou by some fort uniito billow.
There she goes, tumbling towards the rocks,
now prow foremost, now steru foremost, now
rolling over to the starboard, now over to
the larboard; now a wave dashes clear over
the dock, and It scorns as If the old craft
has gone forever, llut up sho comes
again. Paul's arms around a must, ho
crlos: "All is well. Ood has given me
all those that sill with ran." Crash
went tho prow, with such force that It broke
off the must. Crush wont the timbers till tho

lie or lonruod to swim, or tliey were
woundud by the falling or tho must, or the
nervous shock win too great for them. And
others bail been weakened by long seasick
ness. Oil, what will become of them' 'Take

"Tuke thut fragment of n spar," says Paul
to another. "Take that linage of Castor ami

In this life the destiny Is Irrevocably Uxeu; i

orouior, What lias that to do with you?
won t you realign tlmt the man who
waits tor another oiianeo nfior death
wnou uu mis a good ehiinco before death
is a itark fool? Had not you b-jlter take

uuiuaiur myseil, Willi piirdOU lor Illl III)'
Ins offered me now, and all the Joys of time
and eternity offered uie now, I instantly
take th 'in. rather than run the risk of annh
oi her chance as wise men think Ihoyoan peel
oft or twist out of a Hcripture passage
mat nis lor all the Christlau centuries
ueen interpreted anotner way." You sny, "I
do not like Princeton theology, or New
Haven ineology, or Andover theology. I do
notnok you on board either of these great
men-or-war, their portholes tilled with tho
great siege guns or ecclesiastical battle, but
I do ask you to take the ouo plank of tho
koi pei tnni you ao oenevo in and strike out
lor tne pearl strung bench ot heaven."
Bays some other man, "I would attend to
religion If I was quite sura about the doc
trine of election nnd free agency, but that
mixes me nil up." Those things used to
bother me, but 1 have no more perplexity
about them, for I say to myself, "If I love
onrist nud live a good, honest, useful life, I
I am elected to be saved, and If I do not
love Christ and live a bad life I will be
damned, tnd all the tlieologloitl sem
inaries ot the utli verso cannot make It
any different." 1 llouudoreda long while
in inosea or sin and doubt, and It whs as
rough us tho tlodlterriiueHU on the four
teenth night, when they threw the grain
overboard, but I saw there was mercy for a
sinner, and that plunk I took, nnd I have
beuti warming myself by tho brluht lire ou
the .horn ever since.
While lam talking to anotbor man about
bis soul he tells me, "I do not become a
Christian beonuse 1 do not believe there Is
any bell at all." Ah, don't you? Do all the
people of all beliefs and no belief at all. of
good morals and bad morals go straight to-a
happy heaven? Do the holy and the de
bauched have tho Mini) destination? At mid
night, in a hallway, the owner of a
house nnd a burglar meet. They both
lite, and both are wounded, but the
burglar (Ilea lu live minutes, nud the owner
of the house lives a week uriur. Will the
burularbeat the side of heaven, wnltlmr.
when th bouse owner oomos In? Will thu
debnucbee and the libertine iro rltrht in
nmoog Ibe families of heaven? I wonder if
Herod is playing on the bunks of the river
of life with the children bo massacred. I
wouder if Charles Uulteuu and John Wilkes
Booth sre up then shooting at n mark. I
no not now controvert It, although I must
my that for sueb a mlierabla ueuven
bav ne admiration. But the Bible does no
say, "Believe la perdition and be saved.'
Becauaa all are saved, according to yout
theory, that ought not to keep vou from lov
ing and serving Christ. Do "not refuse to
come ashore because all the others, accord
ing to your theory, are going to get shore.
Ion may have a different theory about chem
istryabout Hstronomy.sbout the atmosphere
from that which others udopt, but you are
not therefore hindered from action.
Because your theory of light is dlfforont
from others do not refuse to open your eyes.
Because your theory of air is different you
do not refuse to breathe. Because your
theory about the stellar system is different
you do not refuse to acknowledge the north
star. Why should the fast that your theolo
gical theories are different hinder you from
acting upon what you know? If you have
not a whole ship fastened In tho theological
drydocks to bring you to whnrrnge, yon have
at least a plaak, "Some oa broken pieces
of the ship." 1
"But I don't believe In rovival!'.' Tbcn
go to your room, nod all alone, with yout
door looked, give your heart to God, and
Join some church where tho thermometer

"But I do not believo In baptism!" Come
In without It and settle thut matter nfter
ward. "But there are so many In

In and shoT them by a good example
how professors should act. "But 1 dnu't

come lu ou the New. ' Hut I don't like thu
boojjof Romans." Theii come in on Mat
ths9rLuke. Housing to como to Christ,
whom you admit to bo the Haviour ot tho
Io9t, because you cannot admit other things,
you are like a man out therein that Mediter
ranean tempest an I t used in the M"lttn
breakers, refusing to como ashore, until lie
can mend the pieces ot tho broken ship. I
hour him say: "I won't go in on a iv of tlieso
plunks until I know in w'.iat part of the
ship they belong. When 1 can get ihn wind
lass in tho right place, and tint sails nt, and
tnat keel piece where It belongs, and tlmt

I will go nih.tre. I am nn old siilor, and
kinw all about slilpi for forty years, un.l us
soon as I con get tint vessel nllu.it In good
shape I will come in." A mini drifting bv on
u ploco of wood overliear- him and s-ivs: "You
will drown before you get that "ship re
constructed. Butter do ns I am doing. I
know nothing about ships, and never saw
one before I came on iwtrd this, nnd I can
not BWlm n stroke, but I am going ashore ou
this shivered timber." The mull in tho
omng, while trying to mend his ship, goes
down. The man who trusted to the plank
Is saved. Oh, my brother, lot vour smashed
up system ot theology Ko to tho bottom,
while you come In fin l( splintered gri
"Some ou broken pieces of the ship."
