THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN*
DAY SERMON.
Subject: “The Tempest*”
The text teas, Mark in., 86-39, describing
Christ stilling the tempest.
Tiberias, Galilee, Gennesarefc—three names
for the same lake. No other gem ever had so
lieautiful a setting. It lay in a scene of great
luxuriance; the surrounding hills high, tor
raced, sloped, groved, so many hanging gar
dens of beauty the waters rumbling down
between rocks of gmy and red limestone,
flashing from the hills and bounding into the
sea. On the shore were castles, armed towers.
Roman baths, everything attractive; all
styles of vegetation in shorter space than in
almost any other space in all the world, from
the palm-troe of the tropics to the tree* of
rigorous climate.
It seemed as if the Lord had launched one
wave of beauty on all the scene, and it hung
and swung from rock and hill and oleander.
Roman gentlemen in pleasure boats sailing
tho lake, and the countrymen in fish-smacks
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 an enchanting lakel
It seems as if wo shall have u quiet night.
Not a leaf winked in the air; not a ripplo
wrinkled the face of Gcnuesaret; but there
seems 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
put; not a squadron of deadly armament, nor
n clipper with valuable merchandise, nor
piratic vessels ready to destroy everything
Uiey could seize* but a flotilla, bearing
messengers of lire, and light, and peace.
Christ Is in the front boat Many of llis
disciples are following in smaller boats. Jesus,
weary with much speaking to large multi
tudes, is put into somnolence by the rocking
of the waves. If them was any motion at
all tho ship was easily righted; if
the wind passed from starboard to
larboard, or from larboard to starboard, the
boat would rock, and by the gentleness of the
motion putting the Master asleep. And they
extemporized a pillow made out of a fisher
man’s coat. I think no sooner is Christ pros
trate, and His head touches 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 boat and the smaller boats glide
over tho gentle Genncsaret-. But the sailors
r>ay there is going to be a change of weather.
And even the passenger’s can hear tho moan
ing of tho storm, as it comes on with great
stride, and all tho terrors of hurricane and
darkness. The large boat trembles like a
deer at bay among the clangor of the hounds;
great patches of foam are flung into the air;
tho sails of the vessel loosen, and flapped by
the wind crack like pistols: the smaller l»oafs,
like petrels, poise on the cliff of the waves and
then plunge.
Overboard go cargo, tackling and masts,
and the drenched disciples, rush into the back
part of the boat, and lay hold of Chri3t. and
say unto him: “Master, carest Thou not that
we perishf* That great personage lifts His
head from the pillow of the fisherman's coat,
walks to the fi ont of tho vessel, and looks
out into tho storm. All around Him are the
smaller boats, driven in tho tempest, and
through it conies the cry of drowning men.
By the flash of the lightning I see the calm
brow of Christ as the spray dropped from bis
beard. Ho has one word for the sky and an
other for the waves. Looking upward He
cries: “Peace!” Looking down ward Ho says:
“Be stilL”
The waves fall flat on their faees, the foam
melts, the extinguished stars re-light their
torches. The tempest falls dead, and Christ
fitand with His right foot on the neck of the
while tho sailors are bailing ont
the boats, and while they are trying to un
tangle the cordage, the disciples stand in
amazement, now looking into the calm sea,
then into the calm sky, then into the calm
Saviour's countenance, and they cry out:
“ What manner of man is this, that even the
winds and the sea obey Him?”
TJ*® fc ke first place imprwfteft mo
with the fact that it is very important to
have Christ in tho ship; for all those boats
would have gone to the hotton of Gennesaret
{* Christ had not been present Oh, what a
teson for you and for me to learn! We must
always have Christ in the ship. Whatever
voyage we undertake, into whatever enter
pnse we start, let us always have Christ in
tbe snip. Many of you in these days of
revived commerce are starting out in new
financial enterprises I bid you good cheer.
Do all you can do. Do it on as high plane as
possihle. You have no right to be a
stoker in the ship if you can be an
adnm-aJ of the navy. You have
no ngbt to be a colonel of a regiment if yotl
non command a brigade; you have no right
to be engineer of a boat on the North River,
nr near the coast, if you can take the ocean
steamer from New York to Liverpool. All
you can do with utmost tension of body,
? M r» y° a are bound to do; but oh!
nave Christ in every enterprise, Christ in
voyage, Christ in every ship.

hovaraover the soul, when the waves of trial
d«sp clear over the hurricane deck, and the
osyks are crowded with piratical disasters;
fih, what would you do then without Christ
m too ship? Young man, take God for your
portion, God for your guide, God for your
help; than all is well; all is well for time;
all shall be well forever. Blessed is that man
who put* in the lynsi his trust. He shall
never he eonfounderh
But my subject also impresses me with the
fact that when people start to follow Christ
they must not expect smooth sailing.
These disciples got into the small boats,and
I have no doubt they said; “Wbata beauti
ful day this is! What a smooth sea! What
a bright sky this is! How delightful
fs sailing this Ixjat! and as for the
waves under the keel of the tat, why
they only make ton motion of our little boat
the more delightful.” But when the winds
swept down, and the sea was tossed into
wrath, then they found that following Christ
wa* not smooth (siding. Bo you have found
it; sol have found it. Did you ever notie
the end of the life of the apostles of Jesus
Christ( You would say if ever men ought
so have had a smooth life, a smooth depart
ure, then those men, the disciples of Jesus
Christ, ought to have had such a departure
and such a life. 1
St James lost his head. Kt Philip was
hung on a piliar Kt Matthew lia l his life
dashed out with a halbert. Kt. Mark was
dragged to death through tho streets. Kt.,
James the Loss was beaten to death with a
fuller* club. Kt Thomas won struck through
with a spear. They aid not find following
Christ. Smooth sailing, ob, how they were
all Uiswl in the tempest! John Hush in tlia

Scotch Covenanters—did they find it KlU ooth

into this audience today and find a sdore of
Utasteations of the truth of this subject ThiS
young man in th® store trying to serve God,
while his employer scoffs at Christianity, the
young men m the samo store, antagonistic to
the Christian religion, teasing him, torment
ing him about his religion, trying to get him
mad. Thej’ succeed in getting him marl, 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 find it
smooth sailing when she tried to follow Jesus
Christ? Oh, no! all who would live the life
of the Christian religion must suffer persecu
tion; 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 answer came
back: “These are they who come up out of
great tribulation;—great flailing, as the
original has it; great Hailing, great pounding
—“and had their robes washed and made
white in the blood of the Lamb.” Oh, do not
be disheartened! Oh, child of God! take
courage! You are in glorious companionship.
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 much
frightened.
In the tone of the voice of these disciples as
they rushed into the back part of the boat, I
find they are frightened almost to death.
They say: “Master, carest thou not that we
perish!” They had no reason to be frightened,
for Christ was in the boat. 1 suppose if we
had been thero we would have been just os
offrightened. Perhaps worn
in all ages very goxi people get very much
affrightened. It is often so in our day, and
men say: Why, look at tho bad lectures;
look at the Spiritualistic societies; look at the
various errors going over the Church of God;
we are going to founder; the Church is going
to perish; she is goingdown.” Oh, how many
I good people are affrfehtened by the iniquity
I in our day, and think the Church of Jesus
Christ is going to be overthrown, and just as
much affrightened as were the disciples of my
text. Don T t worry, don’t fret, as though in
iquity were going to triumph over righteous
ness.
A lion goes into a cavern to sleep. He lies
down, with his shaggy mane covering the
paws. Meanwhile the spiders spin a web
across the mouth of the cavern, and say:
“We have captured him.” Gossamer thread
after gossamer thread is spun until the whole
front of the cavern is covered with the spi
ders’ web, and the spiders say : “The lion is
done: the lion is fast” After awhile the lion
has got through sleeping; be rouses himself,
ho shakos his mane, he walks out into the sun
light; he does not even know the spiders’ web
is spun, and with bis voice he shakes the
mountain.
So men come spinning their sophistries and
skepticism about Jesus Christ: He seems to
be sleeping. They say: “Wo have captured
tho Lord; He will never come forth again
upon the nation; Christ is captured forever.
Ik* religion will never make any conquest
among men.” But after a while the I Jon of
the Tribe of Judnh will rouse Himself and
come forth to shake mightily the nations.
What is the spiders web to the aroused lion?
Give trutli and error a fair grapple, and truth
will come off victor.
Hut there are a great many good people
who get affrightened in other respects; they
are affrightened in our day about revivals.
They say: “Oh! this is a strong religious gale;
wo are afraid the Church of God is going to
bo upset, and there are going to be a great
many people brought inti tho church that
are going to be of no use to it;” and they are
affrightened whenever they see a revival
taking hold of the churches.
As though a ship captain with five thou
sand bushels of wheat for a cargo should say,
some day, coming upon dock: “Throw over
board all 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 five thousand 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 tho talk of a great
many Christians who want to throw over
board all tho thousands and tens of thousands
ot souls who are tho subjects of revivals.
Throw all overboard because they are brought
into tho kingdom of God through great re
j rivals, because there is a peck of chaff, a pint
of chaff! I say, let them stay until the Last
: Day; tho Lord will divide the chaff from the
i wheat.
| Do not be afraid of a great revival.
Oh, that these gales from heaven might
sweep through all our churches! Oh, for
such days as Richard Baxter saw in Kidder
minster and Robert McCheyne saw in Dundee!
Oh, for such.days as Jonathan Edwards saw
In Northampton! I hate often heard my
father tell of the fact that in the early part
of this century a revival broke out at Somer
ville, N. J., and some people were very much
agitated about it. They 6aid: “Oh, you are
going to bring too many people into the
church at once;” and thoy sent down to New
Bruns wick to get John Livingston to stop the
revival
Well, there was no better soul in all the
world than John Livingston. He went and
looked at the revival: they wanted him to
stop it. Ho stood In the pulpit on the Sab
bath, 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 on
his staff—a very old man. And be lifted that
staff, and took hold of the end of that staff,
and began to let it fall very slowly through,
between the finger and the thumb, and ne
said: “Oh, thou impenitent, thou art falling
now—falling away from life, falling away
from peace and hcavon, falling as certainly
as that cano is falling through my band—fall
ing certainly, though perhaps falling tflow
ly. ’ And the cane kept on falling through
John Livingston’s hand. The religious emo
in tho audience was overpowering, and men
saw a type of their doom, as the cane kept
fulling and falling, until tho knob of
the cane struck Mr. Livingston’s hand, and he
clasped it stoutly and said: “But the grace of
God can stop you, as I stopped that cane;”
find then there was gladness ail through the
house at tho fact of pardon and peace and
salvation. “Well,” said the people after the
service, “I gu<ss you had better send Livings
ton homo; he is making the revival worse.”
Ob, for th© gales from heaven, and Christ on
board ship! The danger of the Church of
God is not in revivals.
Again my subject impresses mo with the
fact that Jesus was God and man in the same
being. Here He is in the back part of the
boat. Oh, how tired He looks; what sad
dreams he must have! Look at his counte
nance; He must be thinking of the cross to
come. Look at Him, He is a man—bona of
our bone, flesh of our flesh. Tired, He falls
asleep; He is a man. But then I find Christ
at the prow of the boat; I hear him say:
“Pence, be still;” and I see the storm kneel
ing 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: “O, Christ! weary
one of Genncsaret, sympathize with all my
sorrows, man of Nazaretn, man of the cross. ”
A man, a man. But if I want to conquer my
spiritual foes, if I want to get the victory
over sin, death and hell, I come to the front
of the boat and I kneel down, and I say:
“O, Lord Jesus Christ. Thou who dost hush
tho tempest, hush all my grief, hush
all my temptation, hush all my sin.” A man,
a man; a God, a God.
I learn once more from this tabject that
Christ can hush a tempest.
It did seem as if everything must go to
ruin. The disciples had given up the idea of
managing the ship: the crew wore entirely
demoralized; yet Christ rises, and He puts
His foot on the storm, and it crouches at His
Get. Oh, yes! Christ can hush the tempest.
I You have had trouble. Perhaps it was the
little child taken away from you—the sweet
est child of the household, the one who asked
tho mart curious questions, and stood around
you with the greatest fondness, and the spade
cut down through your bleeding heart. Per
httl*s it was an only son, and your heart lias
ever since like the desolated cnxtle. the
owls of tho night hooting among the falling
arches and the crumbling «tdrw<y»i.
Perhaps it was an aged mother. You
always went to her with your troubles. Hb©
was In your home to welcome your children
into life, and when they died she was there to
pity you; that old hand will do you no more
kindness; that white lock of hair you put
away in the locket didn’t look as it usually
did when she brushed it away from her
wrinkled brow in the home circle or in tho
country church. Or your property gone,
you said: “I have so much bank stock, I
nave so many Government securities, I have
so many houses, I have so many farms ’—all
gone, all gone.
Why, sir, all the storms that ever trampled
their thunders, all the shipwrecks 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 one in my keeping. I can care for him
as well as you can, better than you can, O
bereaved mother !” Hushing the tempest.
When your property went away God said:
“There are treasures'in heaven, in banks that
never break.” Jesus hushing the ternoest
There is one storm into which we will all
have to run. The moment when wo let go of
this life, and try to take bold of tho noxt, we
will want all the grace possible. Yoncter I
see a Christian soul rocking on the surges of
death; all the powers of darkness scorn to let
out against the soul—the swirling wave, tho
thunder of the sky, the shriek of tho wind,
all seem to urite together: but that soul is
not troubled; there is no sighing, there are no
tears; plenty of t-ars in the room at the de
parture, but he weeps no tears; calm, satis
fied, peaceful; all is well. By the flash of the
storm you see the harbor just ahead, and you
are making for that harbor. All shall be
well, Jesus hushing the tempest.
“ Into the harbor of heaven now we glide;
We’re home at last, home at last.
Softly we drift on its bright, ailv’ry tide,
We're home at last
Glory to God! all onr dangers are o'er.
We stand secure on the glorified shore;
Glory to God I we will shoot evermore.
We’re home at last.”
Burdette’s Humor.
The doctor had for many years been
financial agent for a great religious eo
siety and had begged this wide land dry
from Dan to Bcersheba. Said a brother
D. D. to him one day: “Doctor, if lam
to preach your funeral eermon, I have
the text selected, Luke, xvi:22: "And
it came to pass that the beggar died.”
“I don’t see why you can’t keep awake
in church, ” said the pastor. ‘‘l am there
»e long as you are and I don’t have to sleep
balf.thetimc.” “Oh, well,’’ replied the
leacon, 1 ‘you just sit down in the pew and
let me preach and I’ll bet a new organ you
couldn’t keep your eyes open ten min
utes.”
“Where have you been all day?” asked
Mr. Tret. “Down town,” replied hir
wife. “Gossip and tattle, I reckon?”
“No, sir; financial politics; I’ve boon re
ducing the surplus.” “You don’t know
anything about it,” snarled the old man,
“you’re just like any woman when she
tries to talk politics; you’ve been increas
ing the deficit, that’s what you’ve been
doing.”
“Mr. Walker,” said the clerk, “the
twelve cent prints at the remnant countci
are going fast and are about sold out.’
“All right, I’ll attend to it. Mr. Anawan,

into remnants and send them over to the
bargain counter.” —Brooklyn Eagle.
Italian Witchcraft.
One of tbe chief employment* of an
Italian witch is to attacare persons. A
lover may pay her more for a single
charm, but tho6c who want to attacare
somebody else are her stcaely customers.
The purpose of this spell is to render a
person incapable either of all thought,
action and reason, or of using one of his
faculties. Thus those who have a law
suit pay a witch to bind the tongue of an
advocate who has to speak against them.
This does not mean that he is to be struck
dumb—that would frustrate the whole
design—but merely that he is to be ren
dered incapable of speaking effectively
or to the point. When a man is entirely
bound, he must remain in the position he
happens to be in at the moment or as
sum another at command; he loses al 1
consciousness. After hours he awakes
from bis trance, and continue* the move
ment he began before it fell upon him.
To leave a man in such a condition
would obviously be simple murder, and
in due time he isalways unbound, at least
in the popular stories. Whether the
charm would in time lose its effect if it
were not retracted seems a rather doubt
ful point. Among the believers in raagit
opinions differ, and tales might be cited
in support of either view. —Saturday Re

Tho Czar’s Private Newspaper.
The nervous and irritable state of the
Czar since the recent attempts upon hii

presence they must not even be alluded
to, and in order to obey his wishes in this
respect the very newspapers he read;
have to be specially prepared. He re
ceives at present no frther papers bui
those expressly printed for him; the
veriest penny magazines of old, contain
ingatbest a few inoffensive despatches,
the rest being made up of society gossij
and theatrical notes, with at best s
leaderette or two thrown in, recounting
the blessings of bis autocratic govern
ment, without an <*ver-strict adherence U
truth in their enumeration. The cditoi
of this special sheet, to which the Czar ii
the only subscriber, and which appears ii
a single number, saw nc harm in inserting
the reports of tho festivities on thi
occasion of Emperor William's ninetietl
birthday anniversary, which caused thi
Czar to exclaim sadly: “I shall neve:
live to reach fourscore years and ten.
and have the benediction of millions o:
my subjects showered upon my head.”

Honoring a Mother.
When Madame de Btael asked the
Emperor Napoleon what kind of woman
he considered the most valuable to the
Empire, the Little Corporal wounded the
sensitive feeling of that distinguished
personage by scntentiously replying:
“The woman who has the most children.”
The spirit which prompted such a reply
has evidently found temporary lodgment
in the breast of an Illinois Central Rail
road suburban conductor. The other
day, while I was coming into the city on
that thoroughfare, an honest-looking
woman boarded the train at Forty-third
street with seven small children of vari
ous ages. When the conductor, clad in
a new suit of blue, made resplendent
with brass buttons, Btcrnly demanded
her ticket, a blush of confusion swept
over her honest countenance as sho
fumbled vainly in her pocket for her
purse, which she had left at home. “I
haven’t my ticket, sir,” she meekly re
marked, the look of confusion growing
deeper as she observed the glances of the
passengers; “I left it at home.” The
conductor glanced along the line of
chubby-faced boys by her side and said:
“Arc you the mother of those seven chil
dren?” “Yes, sir,” she replied. “Well,”
continued the conductor, “any woman
who has done as much for her country
as that can ride on my train for nothing.”
And the conductor left the ear, followed
by the applause of the passengers.—
