WHALE AND SWORDFISH.
Owftle Waa Dravy I mil Shark
Aide, I In the Defeat f the king
of thp Drr.
A ficrht to the death between an 8(V
foot whale on one side ud n thrasher,
, or fox shark, and a sword ftsh on the
other, was witnessed a few days ago
by the visitors ami sailors ou two
yachts and the crews of some other
small vessels outside Sim Francisco
' bay. All the witnesses agree that for
' thrilling interest the fight was ahead
; of anything' they had ever eeen or
herd of. It lasted half an hour and
I resulted in the defeat and probable
death of the whale.
The whale, niwt the ssvordfUh, and
I the shark ore ancient enemies, and
lights between them are not rare.
TRIANGULAR SKA FIGHT.
(The Shark Bee med to Ki.sc Twenty Put
Into the Air.)
However, it seldom falls to the lot of
landsmen to '. u combat between the
largest inhabitants of tin- sea, unl
many a sailor hut spent Ills life on
salt water without ehanoa to see such
a sight.
Part of the time the ynohts were
within 800 yards of the eombat, and
Some of the other lvoats Ventured even
nearer, or the iir.li in tJieir blind fury
worked nearer them. All the time
the water was churned into foam,
nnd the spray was dashed hiph into
the air na the whnle tspouted or the
thrasher leaped into the air to fall
upon its enemy. The whale'a efforts
Were mainly directed to escape from
the constant attacks of the smaller
monsters. In his efforts to aroid the
rushes of the fox shark he would try
to sound, only to be forced back to
the surface by tha thrusts of the
swordfish below. Every time he came
up he would send forth a fountain of
silvery spray. The same instant a
column of water would be hurled up
wards, as If by an explosion beneath
the surfaxe, and in the column would
appear the gray body of the fox
shark, spreading its two wing-like
fins. The shark seemed to rise fully
20 feet into the air, and, turning as a
diver would when leaping from a
springboard, would fall mujsie first
upon the back of the whale, and the
two would sink beneath the surface.
That sort of fighting went on for fully
30 minutes. The thrasher kept rlfht
after the whale, and the swordfish
waited below until ho had a chance
from that vantage.
After about 15 rounds of that sort
of battle, ns one of the sports on
board one of the yachts put it, the
whale began to lose interest, and
seemed willing to call it a draw. Tint
the shark was game, and kept right
nfter him. The whale began to lum
ber along, not up to his speed, nnd it
was plain that a dead heat would sat
isfy him. Hut the shark waa a Fitz
sinimons. Finally the whale turned,
belly up, and he wn done for. He
sank like a, foundered ship. He sim
ply could not withstand the slugging
of the mighty head of that shark,
falling 20 feet upon him, and the
thrusts of the swordfish from be

GOLDEN TEXT.- Lord, that I might re

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The connection with lost Sunday's
lesson includes the parable of the la
borers in the vineyard (Matt. 20:M6),
a third prediction by Jesus of His
death and resurrection (Mark 10:32
o4), the request of Jesus and John that
tiny might occupy high places when
Jesus came into His Ulory (Mark 10:
3S-43), and then the present lesson.
Jesus hail now crossed the .Ionian and
had come Into the land of Judea prop
er. Matthew gives us the account of
two blind men, but Mark and Luke
tell the story only of these nun. Bar
timeus by name.
On this part of His journey Jesus
was accompanied by great crowds,
doubtless mostly people who were go
ing to Jerusalem for the approach
ing feast of the Passover.
BartlmeUS, B blind beggar by the
roadside, soon learned that it was
Jesus who was coming, Jesus had
healed blind men before, and llartim
rus determined to appeal to Jesus for
help.
Where had BartlmeUS heard that
title, "Son of David," applied to Jesus?
It may be that the disciples had
preached the Messiah, but it is as well
at least to MlplKise the blind man had
made his own deduction, Jesus had
healed lepers, restored sight to the
blind, made the lame to walk, and
even raised the dead. He could be no
other than the Messiah, therefore the
"Son of David."
His cry was for mercy, "hare merry
on me." That is a word uhhi which
emphasis Is laid in the Scriptures. The
publican in the temple preyed: "Be
merciful to me, a sinner." "Blessed are
the merciful, for they shall obtain
mercy," declares Jesus in His Sermon
on the Mount. There are none who do
not need mercy, none who can afford
not to show it to others. It is the
quality which has in it the essence of
Divine love.
Jesus stopped nnd cnllcd for the msn
who needed help. "He ealleth for thee."
Here we have one order of events. The
man sought Jesus, and Jesus re
scinded by calling for him. In many
cases it occurs otherwise. We have it
in the (iospel record that "Jesus saw
a man named Matthew, sitting at the
receipt of custom, and lie saith unto
him, follow me. And he arose and
followed Him." The important mat
ter is not so much whether the voice
of Jesus is heard before we seek Him
ns it is that the right answer be made
lo the call. Matthew arose and fol
lowed him, "Hartiincus rose and came
to Jesus."
"Lord, that I might receive my
light:" There is a spiritual and moral
blindness. There is the awful calamity
of him who has yielded to sin, namely,
that he fails to perceive clearly there
after what is right and what is wrong.
Jesus not only restored physical sight
when on earth, but He cleared the
moral vision. To perceive the right nnd
have the power to persist in that
course is the privilege of those who
have heard of Jesus. It is not that
Christians never err in judgment or
conduct. The true t'hristian is he who
strives as best he may to know his
rluty. to be in sympathy with move
ments of the highest progress, todohis
duty as he knows it, and leave there
suits with God. He strives to bring
his purposes and motives into alasolute
accordance with that which lsdivinest
and purest.
"Thy faith hath made thee whole:"
Again Jesus commends faith ua the
cardinal principle upon which any
lasting results cau be built. Kailh may
be said to be the eyes of the soul. They
see furthest who have most faith, not
necessarily those who have the best
reasoning faculties. Faith may lie
weak, the eyes of the soul may have
lost their light. Lord, "help thou
my unlelief."
"And immediately he received' hia
sight, nnd followed Jesus in the way:"
iiratitude is one of the lessons indi
rectly taught. Bartimeus was grateful
for restored sight. The only way he
sould show his gratitude was by fol
lowing and adding his praises to the
praises of the throng. The Christ inn
life consists not only in acknowledging
faith in Christ, there is after that the i
following persistence in the course
that has been chosen.
