Ilo.ve you ever followed the sea? In , these days of multiplied facili- ties for ocean. travel,.. when mem- Moth liners, equipped like floating • palaces, carry tens and hundreds of thousands of passengers to wird fro - across the seas, wita a, sense ol se- curity added to the Maximum of comfort, we little think of the dis- ccmtforte attendant upon the ocean voyages of half a century ago. But though the conditions of sea travel have - so vastly' improved in recent years that a journey across the At- lantic or up the Moditerra.nean is no longer an ;undertaking to . be dreaded there are still many traditions of he. sea -which time has, not mater- lly changed. If you have 'traveled much upon the oceani, you must. know that there are superstition's sailors who dislike to i'carry. minis- ters, or, as they call ..ithem, "sky pilots," in their ships. Iver since the recreant ,Jonah was thedininse of a. Mediterranean cyclone, because he would persist in going to -Tarshish when God told him -to go" to Nine- veh, there have been- sailers who be- lieve the presence _of a,rninister upon their ship means head wirldf4 and storms and disasters and misfortun- es. This prejudice against carrying a. minister, like the prejudice against carrying a corpse or. the starting of a voyage on a Friday, has been, grad- ually getting less and less as sail- ors have become bet ter educated, Rev. Dr, James McGregor Alexa nd- der, the honored DJ IT of In- dia, told, me that wheri he- and -his . wife and five other missionaries in 1865 set sail for India the sailors were .in almeSt open tantiny . at the idea of carrying such th dangerous cargo of human freight, but when • they arrived in Calcutta, a f ter a long four months' voyage of unpre- cedental clear. weather; those sailors were. so surprised that instead of considering their minieterial pas- sengers "Jonahs" they ,looked upon them as "fe3r weather,", angels. So, completely had their opinion changed that they told their ceptain, Who knew of their former foreboding, that they wished, the miseimutries were going back with them on their re- turn voyage. , ' ' • Superstition, bees -ever, is not tipsily eradicated. This prejudice against ministerial passengers bas survived for centuries. Yet in the stone of my text we have an instance of its being overcome, t'Here is. Paul, a landsman, a prieoner and a -mission- ary, so winning the confidence of the crew that they- heed his warnings and follow his suggestions, it was, too, In a crisis when nautical skill was needed that they listened to him, There was & storm raging of un- usual violence, The dreaded hurri- cane • they callecl euroclydon was lashing- the 'Mediterranean into fury, There was darkness even at midday; all reckoning lost, all hope given up. Then the 275 persons on board tura- ed to this little Jewish missionary for guidance and encouragement. They had begun the voyage against, his advice. They might be prejudiced against hirn as a preacher and a prisoner, but they listened to him when he addressed them, - bidding them.be of good cheer. "Arid when he had thus spoken he took bread and gave thanks to God in presence of them. all, and when he had brok- en it he began to eat. Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some Why were the crew and the pas- sengers of this Alexandrian corn ship . happy of heart? ieirst, because faitUt a lwayS begets faith, and cOnfidence confidence, and good cheer good cheer.

It is asy enough to be a censorious critic It is not. so easy a matter to fu etish a, better for that which you deride. I remember many years ago, ea an imaginative boy, I read that strange, weird, horrible story called "Caeaar's Column," In fascination I folliewed its author • step by step as he eftly tore. the beautiful patterns ofnod- ern society into shreds. In ho or I read on as he denounced the s cial status, not as the generation lof a Noah was destroyed by this old earth ' its a water-logged craft, shi tidal wave after tidal wave, b a' huge column of piled up co But as tho years have passed b boyish imagination lute given to sober thought, the 'flames a smoke arising from the funeral of Caesar's column, embellishe dead bodies, have grown f•- les less. The great airships twhic (led about in the heavens las IgTea„t • flocks of destroying birds have col.; lapsed. Why? Because I see as -a non that, though Ignatius Donnelly 'night advocate the destructehn of SeCiety -by. finding fault with it, yet with his brain he could, not struct for us a better Utopia. Paul, ne-ver ridicule a man, probe for his, faults, . unler at same time you can show him h eohrect those faults. Never re a man's malady or deformity un - Tess , you -can tell him of a doctor who .can Apply a remedy for it. Why were tho crew and the .p ssen- gers of the Alexandrian corn ship of good cheer? Because Paul wasa man of Christian commonsense . as well as of supernatural visiens, lie knew that the. only religion 1 that could really help a inan must he a religion that could help him in the present life as well as fit him for a life bearond the grave. It was not only *the promise of safety in the fu- ture that, he gave those people., but the .sound eommonsenee counsel of preparation, by keeping up; their strength for insuring that safetY. "What are you driving at any- way?" says some one. "Is Paul a mere hygienic lecturer?" He is More than that, but he does not think it , beneath his dignity, after Beck t• the "vision of God, to tell the crew ancl. the, passengers of the Alexandrian corn -ship to rook rater their ph -sieal necessities, Ile does not think it ir- religious to gather the men an 1 the women Of the doomed sled!) 10 ether and saye "lien, you aro going 0 bp BaVVCI, 1)111 God Will 11oVOr (10' his part unless we are ready to do ours, Note, .to -morrow we are acting, to all get safely' to land, but there Is Lo . be a hig arain upon our physical, rt.- Sources.

We need 'Ili th for the soul; We also need melt t for the body." Some people think the most dramatic episode of , Paul 's life was when he stood upoehlat•s hill and argued with the (.4 rpek philpso- phers; others when he pleaded for his life before Agrippa. I think the most lanaressively dramatic 'illy (lent was when he was standing nom the rocking, heaving deck of a "v t'Sfit1 water telling the passenger. I; whose hull was gradually- filling with wate the crew to eat and look after their ping t t as pses, and place d the pyre with and cir- con- Like— never the w to r to the eat into kindlings. We must lose all our cargo and persottal baggage. We shall be rescued alive, but that is all." Then, when the sailors saw the lit- eral fulfillment of_ the prophecy of Paul, their faith in their leader and and in their, leader's God not only continued, het increased day by day. It believe that in urging men to come to Christ we make a mistake when we do not frankly state the hardships and difficulties of the I Christian life. There are, as every experienced Christian knows, sari - Fee that must be " rnade, privation,s th t must be endured, struggles that must be fought. It is better that we a0now1edge the fact, as Christ did when men came .to him offering them- selives as his disciples. If we fail to tell them that they 'must expect trial and perhaps adversity in following Christ they will consider that they have been deceived and will be dis- appointed and discouraged when they enhounter trouble. As Paul told these -men that they Would have to battle with the waves and be in dan- ger of death on that rocky coast be- fore they reached safety, so we should tell men that the Way to heavenly joys is often hard and toil - tonne. Paul demanded of those pas- seteeers and sailors of the Alexandri- an corn ship the same sacrifices for tbeir physical salvation which Her- nando Cortes demanded of his fel- )(avers for the conquest of Mexico. Dining one of his xnarches the Span- islt soldiers became disaffected. 'Cortes assembled his men in line. "Men, some of you aro grumbling," hl NE1 id substantially. "Some of you Want to know what rewards I have to offer you at this time. This is my answer." Then, drawing a -line upon the ground with the edge of hie sword, he pointed with his steel to- ward the great east and said, "On that side of the lino are ease and comfort and friends and a life of ease in 'lair Spain," Then, pointing to the groat west, he said: "Yonder are sickness and privation and hunger d cold and death. But yonder is e beautiful capital of the Monte - mos. Which shall be yours? Choose yo this day as ye will. Choose ye as bravo Castilians." Christ to -day, like Paul, like Her- nando Cortes, promises his followers not peace, but eitruggle and priva- tion; not ease and comfort, but storm and suffering and trials and Misery. But in the end, like Paul, Christ assures 'you of salvation. Aye, more than Paul offered to the ship- wrecked sailors -and passengers of the Alexandrian corn ship, Christ offers to you spiritual redemption for time and for eternity. Men and women, are you ready to face suffering and sacrifice' in 1,tho 'name of Jesus Christ? Are sou willing to believe • hirn and trust 'in him. • But why should not the passengers and crew of the Alexandrian corn ship be of good cheer? Did not the prophetic words of Paul literally cOme true? When the mighty ship struck the beach what happened? Paul turned to the brawny -armed men about him and said, "Leapeinto the surf and swim for your lives." Aid these Stout -limbed men flung themselves into the seething waters and swam on until at laeld'their feet touched the shore and they made ready to rescue their struggling friends. Some of the women, being in all probability strapped to_spars, were lifted by the belief -0g billows and swept upon the rocks, where they were rescued. Some of the men may have come ashore clinging to boards and broken gunwales. At times it seemed as though they must be wash- ed off, but somehow they are at last all landed, So in the end of time and in the beginning of eternity all Christians shall be safely brought to the heavenly shores'through stress and storm and peril, it may be, but still safe. Yes, we will be there. We shall all be there. Courage, Chris- tian brother, Fear not the perils of the passage, "Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swell- ing thereof," the promise of Christ, like the words of Paul, shall coins gloriously, trim a A Clever frisb. The salmon seems to be gifted wlth much intelligence, or "hereditary fore- sight," as it is occasionally called, 'Which is more particularly acute when danger signals are abroad, says Wil- liam G. Harris In Field and Stream. They have been known, when eongre- gated in the upper pools, to become frightened by poachers approaching them with net or spear and to IllIMC- diately dash dowtt stream to a distance of thirty miles in one night, not stop- ping until they bad reached pools so deep that they could not be taken with the appliances of the poacher. They seemed to know that if they went high- er tip the stream their doom was sealed. When cowing from the sea in schools and on entering the estuary they have been seen with an old leader at the head of the school, the rest, forming a triangle about tivo and a half feet be- low the surface of the water, and on calm days, guided by the old patriarch, they would swim around the fisher- men's nets, never approaching them nearer than ten or twelve yards. Standing an Eir,V on End. Anyfresh egg cab, without being boiled, be balanced on either end - by an one possessing patience and a steady hand. In order to save time the egg should be placed for a short time ott the end upon which it is desired to balance it, o as to allow the yolk to settle; then both forearms of .the person making the experhnent should be rested on the edge of the table and the egg should be taken between the three fingers and thumbs of both hands and slowly turn- ed around until the center of gravity is found. This experiment may at first require a little time, but after a little practice it will be found very easy to do. It would be well to try it first en the tablecloth and then on the bottom of a plate, It is conceded, of course, that the present century is far more advanced than that of Columbus, so it is only to be expected that different ideas should have been formed, even as to the bal- ancing of eggs. A Defense lor Dancing. It iS not necessary in these days to defend the claim of the dance to a place among the arts. As soon as we have got rid of the Puritan prejudice on the point (and one may hope that this no longer exists for the Intelligent part of the population) the claim is too overwhelming to need apology, for if we take art to mean the production of beauty then the case only needs stating to be conceded, while if we understand It as self expression in some concrete form we shall find that the dance, which is a kind of fusion of music, painting and sculpture, is pre-eminent- ly capable of giving expression beyond the possibility of words to the basic, and therefore largely inarticulate, parts of our nature—the hunger of the spirit and the joy of life.—London Outlook. Genesi. et Lite Inuaramee. . Life insurance originated in 1708 is +London. In that year _there was form. led the first life insurance company. It twas called the Atnicable Soeiety For a iPerpetual Assurance Once. It was a Mutun 1 benefit concern.
