STORK DR. TALMAGE ON THE STILLING OF THE WAVES. Be Tells the Familiar Bible Story With Dramatic Interest and Power — Life's Stormy Voyage rend Row Shipwreck May be Avoided. Washington, Aug. 29.—This sermon by Rev. Dr. Talma,ge will be of great solace to people who are finding their life a rough voyage. Text, Mark iv, 80: "And there were also with him other little ships, and there arose a great storm of wind. And the wind ceased and there was a great calm." Tiberias, Galilee, Gennesaret—three names for the same lake. No other gem ever had so beautiful a setting. It lay in a scene of great luxuriance; the sur- rounding hills high, terraced, sloped, groved, so many hanging gardens of beauty; the waters rumbling down be- tween rooks of gray and red limestone, flashing from the hills and hounding into the sea. In the shore were castles, armed towers Roman baths, everything a.ttractive and beautiful; all styles of vegetation in shorter space than In almost any other space in all the world, from the palm tree of the forest _to the trees of a rigorous climate. It seemed as it the Lord had launched o e wave of beauty on all the seene and hung and swung from rock and hill and oleander. Roman gentlemen in plea- sure boats sailing the lake and -country men in fish amacks coming down to drop their nets pass each other with nod and shout and laughter, or swinging idly at their moorings. Oh, what a wonderful, what a beautiful lake! The Storm,. it seems as if we 'shall have a quiet night. Not a leaf winked in the air; not a ripple disturbed the face of Gennesaret, but there seerns to be a little excitement up the beach, and we hasten to see what it is, and we find it an embarkation. . From the western shore a flotilla . pushing out; not a squadron or deadly armament, nor clipper with valuable merchandise, nor filratic vessels ready to destroy everything they coitld seize, but a flotilla, bearing messengers of life and light and peace. Christ is in the front of the boat. His disciples are in a smaller boat. .flishs, weary with nanch speaking to large multitudes, is put into somnol- ence by the vicking of the 'waves. If there was any motion at all the ship was easily righted; if the w nd passed from one side, from the starboard to the larboard or from the larboard, to the star- board, the boat would rook, and by the gentleness of the motion putting the Master asleep. And they extemporized a pillow made out of a fisherman's cost. I think no sooner is Christ prostrate and, his head touching the pillow, than he iS sound asleep. The breezes of the lake , run their fingers through the locks of: the worn sleeper, and the boat rises and falls like a sleeping child on the bosom of a sleeping mother. Calm . night, starry night, beautiful night. Run-up all the sails, ply all the oars, and let the large boatn,nd the small boat glide over gentle Gennesaret. But the sailors say there is going to be a change of weather. And, even the pass- engers can hear the moaning Of the storm as it comes on with long stride, with all the terrors of hurricane and darkness. The large boat trembles like a deer at bay trembling among the clangor of the hounds; great patches of foam are flung into the air; the sails of the vessels loosen, and the sharp winds crack like pistols; the sma ler boats like petrel poise on the cliff of he waves and then plunge. Overboard go cargo, .tackling and masts, and the drenched disciples rush into the back p rt of the boat and lay hold of Christ and say unto him " Master, carest thou not that we perish?" That great personage lifts his head from the pillow of the fisherman's coat, walks to the front of the vessel and looks out into the storm. All around him are the smaller boats, driven in the tempest, and through it comes the cry of drowning men. By the flash of the lightning I see the calm brow of Christ as the spray dropped from his beard. -He has one word for the sky and. another weird for the waves. Looking upward he", cries, "Peace!" Looking downward he; says, Stilling the Wave.. The waves fall flat on their faces, the foam melts, the extinguished stars re- light their torohes. The tempest falls dead and Christ stands with his foot on the neok of the storm. And while the sailors are bailing out the boats and while they are trying to untangle the cordage the disciples stand in amazement, now looking into the Calm sea, then into the calm sky, then into the calm of the Saviour's countenance, and they ory out, "What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?" The subject in the first place impresses me with the fact that it is very import- ant to have Christ in the ship, for all those boats would have gone to the bot- tom of Genttesaret if Cbriat had not been. present. Oh, what a lesson for yoU and for me to learn! Whatever voyage we undertake, into whatever enterprise we start, let us always have Christ in the ship. Many of you in these days of re- vived commerce are starting out in new financial enterprises. 1 bid you good cheer. - Do all you can do. Do it on as high a plane as possible. You have no right to be a stoker in the ship if you can be an admiral of the navy. YOu have ne right to be a colonel of a regiment if you can command a brigade. You have no right to be engineer of a boat on river banks or -near the coast if you can take the ocean steamer from New York to Liverpool. All you can do, with ut- most tension of body, mind and soul, you aro bound to do; but, oh, have Christ in every enterprise, Christ in There are men who ask God to help them at the start of 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 ' Hermon and lash Gennesaret into foam and into agony, but it could not hurt them. But here. is another man who starts out in worldly enterprise, and he depends upon the uncertainties of this life. He has no God to kelp him. After awhile the storm °Moe and tosses off the masts of the ship. He puts out his lifeboat. The sheriff and the auctioneer try to help him off. They can't heir) him off. He must go down. No Christ in the ship! Here are young men just starting out in life. Yeur We will be made uP of sunshine and shalow. There may be in it arctic blasts or 'frepleal tornadoes. I know not what is before you, but I know if you have Christ with you all shall be weYllOu'may seem to get along without the religion of Christ while everything goes smoothly., but after awhile, when sorrow hovers over the soul, when the waves of trial dash clear over the -hurri- cane deck, and the bowsprit is shivered, and the halyard are swept into the sea, and.thearrangwav is crowded with 121111i. • THE ital-dighirtbid•:—oh;Wfiat"icailiN 'yeti! then I do without Chris in the ship? Young man take God ter your portion, God for your' gUlde, God for your help; then all Is well;.all is well for time, all shall be well forever. Blessed is that man who puts in the Lord_ Ms trust. He shall never be confutuaded. Look Out for ureakera. Put my subjeot also impresses me with the fact that When people start to follow Clirist they must- not expect smooth sailtng. These disciples got 'into the small boats, and I have no doubt , they said: "What a beautiful day this isl Whit a smooth sea! What a bright . sky this is! How delightful is sailing in ' this boat, and as for the waves under the- - keel of the boat, why. they only make the motion of our little boat the more delightful." But when the winds SWETO down, and the sea was tossed into wrath,I then they found that following Christ - was not smooth sailing. So You have faund it; so I have found it. Did yoit ever notice the end of the life of the apostles of Jesus Christ? You would saY that if ever men ought to haye had a smooth life, 'a smooth departure, then those men, the disciples of Jesus Christ, ought to have had such a departure and St. James lost his head. St. Philip was hung to- death on a pillar. St. Mat- thew had his life dashed out with a hal- berd. St. Mark was dragged to death through the streets. St. James the Less was beaten to death with a fuller's club. St. Thomas was struck through with a spear. The.y did not find following Christ smooth sailing. Oh, how they were all tossed in the tempe'st! John Huss in the fire; Hugh MoKail in the hour of martyr- doni ;, the Albigenses, the Waldenses, .the Scotch Covenanters—did they flnd it smooth sailing? But why go to history when I can find all around me a score of illustra- tions of the truth of this sulaject? That young anan in the store trying to Retie God while his employer scoffs at Chris- tia,nity, the young men in the same store antagonistic' to the Christian reli- gion teasing him, tormenting him about his religion, trying to get hire mad, say- ing, "You're a pretty Christian!" Does this young man find it smooth sailing When he tries to follow Christ? Here is a Christian girl. Her father desPises the Christian religion. Her mother despises. the Christian religion. Her brothers and sisters scoff at the Christian religion. She can hardly find a _quiet- place in which to say, her prayers. Did ;she •flnd it smooth sailing when she tried:to follow Jesus Christ? Oh, no. All who would iive the life of the -Christian religion must suffer persecution. If you do not find it in one way, you will get it in another way. , The question was asked. "Who are those nearest the throne?" and the an- swer dame book, "These are they who came up out of great tribulation"—great _flailing as the original has it; great :flailing, great pounding—"and had their ' robes washed and made white in the i blood of the Lamb." Oh, do not be dis- heartened. 0 child of God, take courage! You,are in glorious conipanionship. God will see you through all these trials, and he will deliver you. My subject also impresses me with the fact that good people sometimes get very/ mu /3 frightened. In the tones of these par of 90 boat I find they are frighten - disc pies as they rushed into the back ed almoit to death. They say, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" They had no reason to be frightened, for Christ was in the boat. I suppose if we had been there we would have been just as much affrighted. Perhaps more. - In all ages very good people get very hisuch affrighted. It . is often so in our bad lectures. Look at the spiritnalistic societies. Look at the various errors go- ing over the church of God. We are go- ing to founder.' The church is going to perigh. She is going down.'i" Oh, how many good people are affrighted by tri- umphant iniquity in our day, and think the church of Jesus Christ and the -canse of righteousness are going to be over- thrown, and are just as Touch affrighted as the disciples of my text were affright- ed. Don't worry, don't fret, as though iniquity were going to triumph over righteousness. The Religious Gale. - HURON EXPOgITOR LIVIngston. • Be vrent 'He looked at the reyival. They wanted him to stor it. He stood in the pulpit on the Sabbath I and looked over the solemn auditory, and he said: "This, brethren, is in reality the work of God: Beware how you try to stop it." And he was an old man, leaning heavily, en his otaff, a very old man. And he igted that etaff and took hold of the small end of the staff and began to let it tfall very slowly through, between the finger and the thumb, and he said, "0 thou impenitent, thou art falling now—falling away from life fall- ing away froM peace and hea,ven,falling as certainly as that cane it-faliing through my hand—falling certainly, though per- haps falling very slowly." And the oane kept on falling through John Living- ston's hand. . The religious eniotion in the audience was overpowering and men saw a type of .their doom as the cane kept falling and4alling;until. the knob of the cane struck Mr: Livingston's hand, and he olasped it ,stoutly and. said, "But the grace of God eon step you as I stopped that cane," and; then there was gladness all through the house at the fact of pardon and peace and salVation. "Well," said the people after tbe service, "I'guess you had better Send Livingston home He is making the revival worse." Oh, for the gales from heaven and Christ on board the ship.i The danger of the church of God is not ,in revivals. Again, my subject impresses me with the Mot that Jesus was god' and man in -the same being. Hese he, is in the back part of the boat. Oh, how tired he looks, what sad dreams he must have! Look at his countenance; he must be thinking of .the cross to come. Look 'at him, he iet a man—bone of out bone, flesh of our flesh. tired, he falls asleen; he is a man. But then I find Christ at the prow of the boat. 1 hear -him say, "Peace, be still," and I See. the storm kneeling at his feet, and the tempests folding their wings in his presence; he is a God. . If I have sorrow and trOuble and want sympathy, I go and kneel down at the back part of the boat, , and say, "0 Christ, weary one of Gennesaret, sym- pathize with all my sorrows, man of Nazareth, man of the cross," A man, a man. But if I want to conquer my spirit- ual foes, if I *ant to get the victory over sin, death and hell, I come to the front of the boat and I kneel down and I say, "C) Lord Jesus Christ, thou who dost hush the tempest, hush all my grief, hush all my. temptation, hush all niy sin."- A man, a man; a God, a Goad. I learn once more from this subject that -Christ can hush a tempest. It ,did seem as if everything must ge to ruin. The disciples had given -Up the idea of managing the ship, the crew were en- tirely demoralized; yet Christ rises, and he puts his foot on the .storm and it crouches at his feet, Oh, yes! Christ'can. inish the tempest. The Safe Harbor. You have had trouble.

Or your property gene, yon said. "I have sp much bank stock; I hate ' so many government securities; I have so many houses; I 'have so many farins;"_all gone, all gone. ,Why, all the storms that ever tram- pled with their thundgits, all the ship- wrecks have not been worse than this to you. Yet you have not been completely overthrown. • Why? Christ hushed the tempest. Your little one was taken away.; Christ says, "I have that little ene. I can take, care of him as well as you oan, better than you can, 0 be- reaved mother!" Hushing thelempest! When your property went away, God said, "There are treasures in heav_en, in banks that ever- break." . There is one storm into Which we -will all have to run the moment when. we let go of this life and try to take hold of the next, when we will want all the grace- we can have. • We will want it all. Yonder I see a Christian sonl rocking en the surges of death, All the powers of darkness seem let out against that soul -- the swirling wave, the thunder of the sky, -the screaming Wind, all seem to unite together, but that soul , is not troubled. There is no sighing, there are no tears. Plenty of tears in the room at the' departure, but he vreeos no tears, calm, satisfied, peaoeful. All is well. Jesus hushing the tempest! By the flash of the storm you see the harbor just ahead and you are making for that har- bor. Strike eight bells. All is well. Into the harbor of heaven now we glide. We're home at last, home a last. Softly we drift On Its bright, sihery tide. We're home at last, home at last. Glory to God, all our dangers are o'er. We stand secure on the glorified shore. Glory to God, we will shout evermore. We're home at last, home at last. Ity Desde of Kindness. The more of Jesus in the soul the sweeter will be our flavor, and herein shall , other people know that Jesus good measure of His unselfish- spirit. It is 'not to be demonstrated by the mere expressions of loyalty to Him, or even by remembering Him at the sneramental table only, but by deeds of kindness to those who represent Him in His human- ity. The grapes on a Christian's branch ought to hang low enough for a poor to pluck them. OESCENDANTS OF PILGRIMS. A lion goes into a cavern to sleep. He lies down, with his shaggy mane cover- ing the paws. Meanwhile the spiders spin a web across the mouth of the cav- ern, and say, "We have captured him." Gossamer thread, after gossamer threa,d is spun until the whole front of the cav- ern is covered with the spiders' web, and the spiders say. "The lion is done; the lion is fast." After awhile the lien has got through sleeping. He rouses himself, he shakes his mane, he walks out into the sunlight, he does not even know the spiders' web Is spun and with his voice he shakes the mouniain. So men come, spinning their sophis- tries and skepticism about Jesus Christ. He seems to be sleeping. They say: "We have captured the Lord. He will never come forth aghln-upon the nation. Christ is captured, and captured forever. His religion will never make any conquests amonganen." But after awhile the "lion of the tribe of Judah" will rouse him- self and come forth to shake mightily tbe nations. What is a spiders' web to the aioused lion? 'Give truth and error a faiT grapple, and truth will come off Vi°Irurt. there are a great many good peo- ple who get affrighted in other respects. They are affrighted in our day about revivals. They say: "Oh, this is a strong religious gale. We are afraid the church of God is going tO _upset, and there are going to be a great many people brought into the church that are going to be of no use to it." And they are affrighted whenever they see a revival taking hold of the churches. As though a ship captain with 5,000 bush,els of wheat for a cargo should say, some day, coming upon deck, "Throw overboard all the cargo," and the sailors should say: "Why, captain, what do you mean? Throw over all the cargo?" "Oh," says the captain, "we have a peck of chaff that has got into this 5,000 bushels of wheat, and the only way to get rid of the chaff is to throw all the wheat overboard." Now, that is a great deal wiser than the talk of a great many Christ:40ns who want to throw overboard all the thousands and tens of thousands of souls who have been brought in through great awakenings. Throw all overboard because there is a peck of chaff, a quart of chaff, a pint of chaff! I say, let them stay until the last day. The Lord will divide the chaff from the wheat. No Danger,in Revivals. Gh, that these gales from heaven might sweep through all our churches! Oh, for such days as Richard Baxter saw in England and Robert McCheyne saw in Dundee! Oh, for such days ;las Jona- than Edwards saw in NorthamPton! I have often heard my fahter tell of the fact that in the early part of this century a revival broke out in Somerville, N.J., and some people were very much agi- tated about it. They said, "Oh, you are going to bring too many people into 'the church at once!" and they sent down to New Brunswick to get John Livingston to stop the revival. Well, there was no hatter soul in all the world thar. John Sir Walter Besaut Figures That There Are 10.000 In Anieries. M any people in America claim descent from tile pilgrim fathers. There might be a very considerable number, if we come to think of it. For instance, let us assume the number of married peo- ple among the first hnu.dred who sur- vived the Best winter as 10 °copies.

Up to the time of Cleveland's election it was a popular superstition with poli- ticians that no candidate whose naine began with the letter C could, b'e elected to the presidency. The idea arose from the fact that no man whose 81111111116 preseoted this peculiarity, no matter how strong he was with the people, had ever been successful at the polls. There were two Clintons, George and DeWitt,' William H. Crawford, Henry Clay, Lewis Class and a number of others, who, though their prospects seemed' bright indeed, met with a defeat when it came to the test. Several of the O's, George Clinton and Henry Clay, for in- stance, were strong candidates several times, but never could "make the riffle. "—Pittsburg Dispatch.
