Golden Text What manner of man is this, tha' even the wind and the eea obey !limn (Mark 4:41.) The Titanic was called the un- sinkable ship. In reckless disregard of caution and safety, it plowed its way into a nmuntiaa of ice; and it went down never to rise again. Iint there have been unsinkable ships. .They may not have been as +.veil iuiit as the Titanic, but they were safer. ( Noah's Ark was one of them. Tile little ship of which we read in this week's lesson, carrying Christ and Nis disciples, was another. It could not sink, because Christ was on board. But the disciples thought it could Night had come, then a great stoma arose, the waves were pouring into the boat, and it was filling. Nor was it a time of imaginary danger; there are few places on the earth's surfae_ where the storms can be more sue. den and violent than on the Sea of Galilee. The Lord was divine, but He was also human, knowing weariness of the body in which He chose to live on earth. Physically exhausted af- ter a long day of ministry, Ho was asleep on a pillow in the after part of the ship. "And they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, caress Thou not that we perish?" Where they right in thus reproach- ing Him? Is it ever right to reproaca God, or the Son of God? It was the cry of unbelief—and unbelief is al- ways sin. These men had been with the Lord Jesus as He miraculously healed the sick, and cast out demon;, and made foul lepers clean; and they said. "Carest Thou not that we per - 1.11?" They were like the lsraelities in the wilderness, after God had bro- ken the bondage of Pharaoh for them had led them miraculously and tri- umphantly through the Red Sea, had icd them with manna, but who, when they came to a place where there was no water to drink, cried out and asked Moses if they had been brought up out of Egypt so that they and their children and their rattle might he killed with thirst (Exod, 17::31. Have not we done as badly, after many evidenees of God's Iove and care, when we have reproached Him in some time of testing? If the disciples had really tre,ted Christ just then, they would not have feared the storm. He did not fear it; and if we are in His haadi we need not fear until He. does! TIe "rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a rr''at calm." The Creator can conn•ol that which He has created. Of Christ We lead: "A11 things were made by Him. 'and without Him was not anything, made that was made" (John 1-3). The Psalmist knew what God could do as he sang: " Thou rulest the rag- ing of the sea; when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them" (Psi. 89.9), Then the Lord lovingly rebukes( His disciples, asking them two 74)71. - tions: "Why are ye so fearful? Ilow ae it that ye have no faith?" U,be• lief is bound to bring fear, Faith and cowardice cannot go together. !Christ had worked a miracle. What is • a miracle? Some are telling us that the Bible miracles are but re- sults brought to pass by the use of certain' laws that men have not yet ascortained, but that we are moviri;, nearer to a knowledge of these all the time. Nothing could be farther from the truth, The miracle is one of the manifestations of power that differentiates God from' man, Men can never work miracles by any pro. gross in ' discovery , or advance in knowledge, True, God enabled tor- tsn teen in Bible times to work tntr- acles; but it was an arbitrary ekltr- vise of God's supernatural power � 17! ara, 1.'1t mb tie:',; they are VI. is groat herd of swine nem. by.

The salmon -pac'k'ing 'industry has just com- pleted its new year inventory, and attributes the greatest movement of salmon' in the history of the 'industry to a national newspaper advertising cam•• pangn. The packers say the value of newspaper advertising has been demonstrated conclusively. The carrying stocks on' July 1 totalled 660,000 cases, plus the immense 1926 pack of 7,250,000, making practically 8,000,000 cases to sell. The Inventory now shows only 2,000,000 cases left in the hands of packers, Sales for sax months were 5,60.0,000 cases.

The newspaper is the mouthpiece of the town and community. 1t has no audible voice, but substitut- ing paper and print, it is a voice which carries the aggressive merchant's talk about business to thou- sands of people every week, ✓,..I..py..gq.+4s,..,.-..h.h.2,.;..},.I..;._�..�4.+.:..4.,,.h.1.3++4.4.4 •++'l.3••5.•.4.9,4.4•++++4.401.4'4,47. + g. \Novi Wo u Collapse ; dvertisk Should Sttiip If advertising should stop, slow decay would follow and, ultimately, the entire world would col- lapse, William Allen White, Kansas ediitor, told members of the New York Advertising Club at 1 meeting the other day.
