Soveral othors will bo recoivod a few wooks later. Thoy occupied tho front seatwhilo llstonlng to an appropriate dis course on tho obligations of membership In tho church, lu which tho rules of tho church wore explained and onforced, after which tho right hand of fellowship was ex tended hy tho pastor. At the evening sor vice after receiving ono member by cor 'ficale the ninth sermon of tho series on tho "Voyage of Life" was doliverod. The subject was "Tho Siorms." A description of a storm at sea was given and used as an llustration of the siorms that beset tho raarmer upon the sea of lito. Ibo sailor grades tho force of tho wind according to tho following scale: 0, doad calm; 1, high breeze; 2, gontlo breeze; 3, froih breeze; 1, fresh wind; C, strong wind; 0, gale; -7, strong gale; 8, storm; 9, 10, 11, hurricanes. But evon if his ship woro to ro down in.a fuilous storm no iruo seaman would exhaust tho scalo In describing it. Uo reatons that Ibo wind never blows so hard but it might b'ow hardor. So with tho siorms of life. Our trials ara never to sovoro but tlitty micht be worso. A ftor tho worst comos wo still have God as our refuga and strength Then lito tho siorms of tho sen they novor coino by chanco. Thoy are within the domain of law. God is faithful who will not suffer us to bo tried abovo that wo aro ablo to bear. Again storms are not th worst things that either tho sailor or tho christian has to oucountr. Glvo tho sailo a staunch ship and a cloar sky and he wi defy any storm and thank his lucky stars ho is far enough away from the dangor of falling chimneys and flying bricks. Care lessness icebergs, and abovo all, fogs are tho greatest perils. So neglected dalle an unopened blblo and unfrequented closet, an unattended proyor mooting combine to form a chilling tido of worldlinos which rolls In upon tho soul and 'gives rho to spiritual fogs that obscure tho sun of right eousness. Thoso nro tho greatest perils. It is then that collisions with tho will of God and tho rights of man occur. Skeptios grumble at God because of tho storms of sorrow that fall, But while thoy are ofion regarded as tho greatest evils of life the fact is that for ono soul which Is lost In a storm hundreds go down in a calm. It is not adversity but prosperity that ruins men and onds in everlasting; shipwreck. Tho closing sermon of the series will bo de livered next Sunday night on "Tho Ar rival." Properties For Sale.
