That waft an awful plilnge that the recreant
prophet Jonah made when, dropped Over tho
gnu wales of the Mediterranean ship; he sank
many fathoms down into a tempestuous sea.
Bth before and nfterthe iihJhstor of thedesp
swallowed him. he Was ent.ingled in seaweed.
The jungles Of tho deep threw their cordaga
of vegetation aroun d him. Some of this sea
weed was anchored to the bottom of the
watery abysm, and some of it was ailoit an l
h.wafiowe'1 bv the great se t monster, so that,
while the prophet was at the bottom "f tho
deep after he was horribly imprisoned he
could ex d.iim nttd did exdaim in the words
of my text-, ''The weeds were wrappjd about
tny head."
Jo inah wts the first to r.Jor.1 that there
nre growths upon the botto u of the as
well as upon laud. The H---,t jiietiiro I ever
otvn 1 was a handful of sja weeds rf'S?el dtl
a p ige, n i t Called the:it !;the shorn locks
of Nepluue-' Tliese products of tho deep,
Whether brown or green or yellow or pur
ple or red or intershot of many colors, arj
most fascinating. They are distributed all
over the depths an I from Arctic to Antarctic.
That God thinks well of them I conclude
fn )ii the fact that he his made 6000 species
of them. Sometime thcs.j water plants
an 40) or 70!) feet long, and they cabld
the sea. One specimen has a growth of
1500 feet.
On the northwest shore of our c-nintry is a
seaweed with leaves thirty or forty feet long,
amid Which fhe sea otter makes his home,
rcstinghimself ou the buoyancy of tho leaf
and stem. The thickest jungles of the trop
ics are not more full of vegetation than the
depths of the sea. Thera nni forests ddwn
there and vast prairies all abloom, and Crd 1
walks there as he walked in the GmMert of
E len "in the cool of the day.''' Oh, what
eutrati"ement, this subaqueous world! Oh,
the Go 1 given wonders of the seaweed ! Its
birthplace is a palaie of crystal, The cradle
that rocks it is the storm. Its grave is asar
cophagus of beryl and sapphire. There is
no night down there.
There are creatures of God on tho bottom
of the sea so constructed that, strewn all
uloug. they make a firmament besprent with
etars, constellations and galaxies of impos
ing lust r. The se i fe it her is a lamplighter.
The gymnotus is an electrician, and he is
surcharged with electricity and makes tho
deep bright with tho lightning of the sea.
The gorgonia flashes like jewels. There are
tea anemones ablaze with light. There ars
the starfish mid th" moon'lsh. so called b
eausethey so powerfully suggest stellar and
lunar illumination.
Oh, these midnight lanterns of the ocean
caverns ; these processions of flame over tho
White floor of the deep ; these illuminations
three miles down under the sea ; these
gorgeously upholstered castles of the Al
mighty in the underworld ! The author of
the text felt the pull of tho hidden vegetation
of tho Mediterranean, whether or not he ap
preciated if 3 beauty, as he cried out, "Tho
weeds wor? wrapped about my head."
Let my subject cheer all those who had
friends who have been buried at sea or in
our graat American lakes. Which of us
brought up on the Atlantic coast has not had
kindred or frieryi thus sepulchered? We had
the useless hoiTot5 of thinking that they were
denied proper resting placo. We said: "Oh.
it they had lived to come ashore and had
then expired ! Vhat an alleviation of our
trouble it would have been to put thorn m
bom beautiful family plot, where we couM
hav planted flowers and trees over thorn.
Why, Go I did better for them than we could
have done for them. They wore let down
into beautiful gardens. Before they Hat
reached tho bottom they had garlands about
their brow. , , . ,
In more elaborate and adorned place than
wo could hava afforded them they were put
aw.iv for the laflt slumber. Hear it mothers
nndfathers of sailor boys whose ship went
down in our last August hurricane! There
are no Greenwoods or Laurel Hills or Mount
Auburn so beautiful on the lan 1 as there ara
banked and terraced and scoopod and hung
in the depths of the sea. The bodies of our
foundered and sunken friends are girdled
and caropie 1 and house- with sucn glories
as attend no other Necropolis.
Tuey were swamped In lifeboats, or they
struck on Goodwin sanas onrai '
i, m-oeeioa mid were never hard of. or dis
appeared with the City of Boston, or the illo
de Havre, or tho Cvmbria or were run down
in a fishing smack that put ou.t from New-fo'-.vlland.
But dismiss your previous gloom
about the horrors of ocean entombment.
When Sebastopol was bodegu I in the
Anglo-French war. Prince Mentehtkof, com
manding tho Bussian navy, saw that tho
only way to keep the EDglish out of the har
bor was i sink all the Russian ships of war
in tho i-ond stead, and so 100 vessels sank.
When, after the war was over, our American
engineer, Gowan. descended to the depths
in a diving bell, it was an Impressive spec
tacle. One hundred buried ships ! But it is that
way nearly all across the Atlantic Ocean.
Ships sunk not by command of admirals,
but by the command of cyclones.
But thev all had sublime burial, and the sur
roundings amid which they sleep the last
sleep are more Imposing than the Tai Maha',
the mausoleum with walls incrustel with
precious siones and built by the great mogul
of India over his empress. Your departed
ones were buried in the gardens of the se3,
fenced off by hedges of coralline.
The greatest obsequies ever known on the
land were those of Meses, where no one but
Go 1 was present. The sublime report of that
entombment is in the book of Deuteronomy,
which says that the Lord buried him. and of
those who have gone down to slumber in the
deep the same may be said. "The Lord buried
the-.n."' As Christ was buried in a garden, so
your shipwrecked frien is and those who
could not survive till they reached port were
put down arriid iridescence "In the midst df
the garden there was a spulcher;"
It has always beri a rr ?tery vVhat was the
parttctAlM mode by whic'i George G. Cook
man. thrt pulpit orator of the Methodist
Churc'i aud the chaplaid of tho American
Congress, left this lite after embtirking for
England on the steamship President, March
11th. 18tL The ship never arrived in port.
No one ever signaled ber, and on both sides
of the eeean. Jt has for .fifty years been ques
tioned tVhafc became of her. But (tits' I Lrlow
about Cookman that whether it was iceberg
or conflagration midsea or collision he had
more garlands on his ocean tomb than if, ex
piring on land, each of his million friends
had put a bouquet on his casket. In the
midst of the garden was his sepulcher.
But thrt bring? rfe to totiee tb misnomer
in this Jdnahitic expression of the text. The
prophet not only made a mistake by trying
to go td Tarshish when God tdld hini to go
to Ninevah, but he made a mistake when he
styled as weeds the3e growths that enwrapped
him on the day ho sank. A weed Is some
thing that is useless. It is something you
throw ott from the garden. It is something
that chokes the wheat. It 13 somethirtg to
bo grubbed out from among the cdttdn. It
is something Unsightly to the eye. It is an
invader Of the vegetable or floral wdrld.
But this growth that sprang up from tho
depth of the Mediterranean or floated on its
surface was among the most beautiful things
that Go 1 ever makes, It was a water plant
known as the red colored alga and do weed
pt till. It. Monies from the loom of infinite
beauty. It is planted by heavenly love. It
is the star Of A sunken firmament. Il is a
lamrl which the Lord kindled. It is a cord
by which to bind whole sheaves of practical
Suggestion: It is a pd3m all whose cantos
are rung by Divine goorlness. Yet we all
make tho mistake that Jonah made in regard
to it and call it a weed.
"Tho weeds were wrapped about my head."
Ah; that is the trouble (in the land as on th3
sea. A'e (-all those weeds that are flowers.

They are washed up helpless. They are called
ragamuffins. They are spoken' of aS.the
takings of the world. They are Waits; They
are street arabs. They are flotsam and jet

to be left alone, or something t5 be tro 1 on,
or something to give up to decay. Nothing
but wiels. They are up tho rickety stairs of

that tenement hduse. They swelter id sum
mers when they see not one blade of green
grass, an l satver in winters that allow them
not one warn! Coat Or shawl or slide;
Such the city missionary found in one1 df
bur city rookeries; and when the poor woman
was asked if she S3nt. her children to school
sue replied : "Nc, sir, I never did send 'em
to school. I know it; they ought td learn;
but I c.ouldn'tt I try td shamd hirh some
times (it is my husband; sir); but hd drinks

I should starve. Oh, I wish they was out of
tho city. Yes, it is the truth. I would rather
have all my children dead than oathe street,
but I can't help it."

ctcty of Vaiit find woe add Idoked Up au 1
said, "I felt sd hard to lose the children
when they died, but now I'm glad thy'r3
gone." Ask any one of a thousand such
children on the str 3ets,"Where do you live?"
and they will answer; "I don't live no
where.' They will sleep to-nigbt in ash bar
rels, Or under outdoor stairs. Or on the
wharf, kicked and bruised and hungry. Who
cares for them? Once in a while a city mis
sionary, or a tract distributor, or a teacher
of ragged schools will rescue one of thorn,
but for most people they are only weeds.
Yet Jonah did not more completely mis
represent the re I alga about his head in the
Mediterranean than most people misjudge
these poor and forlorn and dying children of
the "treeti They are not Weeds. Tbey are
immortal flowers. Dovn in the deep sei ot
wd- but flowers. When society anl tho
church df God com3 to appreciate tlKdr eter
nal value, there will be mora 0. L. Braces
and moro Van Meters and more angels of
mercy spending their fortunes and tl.eir lives
in the rescue.
Hear it. O ye philanthropic and Christian
and merciful souls not weeds, but flowers.
I abjure yod as the friends of all newsboys'
lodging hoiises, df all industrial schools, of
till homes for friendless girls, anl for th3
many reformatories and humane associa
tions now on foot. How much they haveal
re ly accomplished I Out of what wretch
edness, into what good homes ! Of 21,000 of
these picked up out of the streets and sent
into country homes only tweleve children
turned out badly.
In the last thiity years a number that no
man can number of tho vagrants have been
lifted into respectability and usefulness and
a Christian life. Many of them have homes
of their own. Though ragged boys once and
street giris, now at the hea l of prosperous
families, honore I on earth and to be glorious
in heaven. Some of them have been Govern
ors of States. Some of them are ministers of
the gospel. In all departments of life those
who were thought to bo w eds have turned
out to be flowers. One of those rescued lads
from the streets of our cities wrote to another,
s lying "I have heard you are studying for
the ministry. So am I."
My hearers, I implead you for the news
boys of the streets, many of them the bright
est child.a of the city, but with no chance.
Do not step on their bare feet. Do not,
when thev steal a ride, cut behind. When
the paper is three cents, once in a while give
them a five cent piece and tell them to keep
the change. I like the ring of tho letter the
newsboy sent back from Indiana, where he
had been sent to a good home, to a New
York newsboy's lodging house -. "Boys, we
should show ourselves that we are no fools,
that we can become as respectable as any of
the countrymen, for Franklin and Webster
and Clay ware poor boys once, and even
George Law and Vanderbilt and Astor. And
now, boyr, stand up and let them see you
have got the real stun in you. Come out
hero and make respectable and honorable
men. so they can say. 'There, that boy was
once a newsboy.' " My hearers, join the
Christian philanthropists who are changing
organ grinders and bootblacks and news
boys and street arabs and cigar girls into
those who shall be kings and queens unto
God forever. It is high time that Jonah
finds out that that which is about him is not
weeds, but flowers.
As I examine this red alga which wai
aboit the recreant prophet down in the
Mediterranean depths, when, in the words
of my text, he cried out. "The weeds were
wrapped abot'' ray ha1."' and I am led
thereby to further examine this submarine
world. I am compelled to exclaim. What a
wonderful God we have! I am glad that, by
itiving bell, and "Brooks deep sea sounding
apparatus." nnd ever improving machinery,
we aro permittel to wilkthi floor of tin
ocean and report the wonders wrougat by
the great God.
Study these gardens of the sea. Easier anl
easier shall the profound of tho ocean be
come to us, and more an l more its opu'eno
of color and plant unroll, especially as '"Vil
leroy s submarine boat" has been construct
ed, making it posible to navigate under the
sea almost as well as on the surface of tho
sea. and unless God in His mercy banishes
war from the earth whole fleets of armed
ships far dowA under the water move on to
blow up the hrgosies that float the surface.
May such submarine ships be used for layina
open the wonders of God's workings in the
grat deep and never for human devastation !
Oj, the marvels of the water world ! These
so-called seaweeds are the pasture fields an 1
the forage of the innumerable animals of the
deep. Not one species of them can bo spared
from the economy of nature. Valleys and
mountains and plants miles underneath the
waves are all covered with flora nnd fauna.
Sunken Alps nnd Apennines and Himalayas
of Atlantis and Pacific oceans. A continent
that once connected Europe and America, so
th't in the ages past men came on foot
across from where Eugland is to where wa
now stand, all sunken and now covered with
the growths of the sea as it once was coverel
with growths of the land.
England and Ireland once al! one piece of
land, but now much of it so far sunken as to
make a channel, and Ireland has become an
island. The islands, for the most part, are
only the foreheads of sunken continents.
The sea conquering tho land all along the
coasts and crumbling the hemispheres wider
and wider become the subaqueous do
minions. Tnank . Qo4 - that - skilled hj-
drogr3her3 have .made u? mips an i o'aarts
bf the riTat'i jri 1 laks an 1 seas add saowa
lis sdmethfrig cf the wdrk dt the etern tl GoJ
in the water world.
Thank Gol that the great Virginian Lieu
tenant Maury, lived to give U3 "The FLybical
Geography of the Sea." aud that men 6f
genid3 have gone forth to study the so-called
weeds that wrapped about Jonah's head and
have found them to be coronals of beauty,
and when the tide receded these scientists
have wad6i down and picked up divinely
pictured leaves Of the ocean, tho naturalis's,
Pike and Hooper and Walters ntberin;
thein from tho beach of Lorfg Island bouii.t,
and Dr. Blodgett preserving them from the
shores of Key West, aud rrofesscrs' Emerson
and Gray finding them along Bo?ton harbor,
anl Professor Gibbs gathering them from
Charlestc"tf ha!rbof, and for all the other
triumphs of algology; or the science of sea
weed. " . , .
Why confine our3elve3 td theold arid hack
neyed illustrations of the wonder working?
of Gol, when there are at least five great
seas full ot illustrations as yet not marshaled,
every root and frond and cell and color and
movement and habit of oceanic vegetation
crying out ; ';Gol ! Odd ! He made us. He
clothe 1 its. He adorned us; Hd was the
God df diir ancestors clear back td the first
sea growth, when Go' I divided the water3
which were above the firmament from the
waters which were under the firmament and
shall be the God of our descendants clear
down to the day when the sea shall give up
its deal. Wa have heard His command, and
we have obeyed. 'Praisd tho Lord, dragons
add all deeps.' "
There is a great comfort that rol)3 over
upon us from this study of the eo-calied sea
weed, arid that is the demonstrated dbetririo
of a particular providence. When I find
that the" Lord provides in the so-called sea
weed the pasturage for the thronged maritie
world, so that not a tin or scale in all that
oceanic aquarium suffers need. I conclude He
will feed us, and if He suits the alga to the
animal life of the deep Ho will provide the
fool for. odr physical nnd spiritual needs.
And if lie clothes the flowers Of the deep
with richness df robe that looks bright as
fallen rainbows by day; arid at night makes
the underworld look i:s though the sea Were
on Are, surely He will clothe you, "(J ye of
little faith !"
And what flll3 me with unspeakablo de
light is that this God of depths and heights,
of ocean and of continent, may, through
Jesus Christ, tho divinely appointed means,
be yours and mine, to help, to cheer, to
parddri; td save; td imj1afadi?e. What
matters who id earth or bell is against us if
He s for us? Omnipotericd td defend Us,
omnipres?nco to companion us arid infinite
love to enfold and uplift and enrapture us.
And when God does small things so well,
seemingly taking as much care with tho coil
of a seaweed as the outbranching of a
Lebanon cedai1; and with the color of a veg
etable growth wnich is hidden fathoms out
Of sight as lie does With tho solferilld and
purple of a summer sunset, We Will bo deter
mined td do well all wo are called to do.
though nd one see or appreciate US. Mighty
God ! Hall id upon our admiration andholy
approeiatiod more of tho wonders of this
submarine world; My joy is that after wo
are quit of all earthly hindrances We may
come back to this world nnd explore what
we cannot now fully investigate.
If we shall have power to soar into the at
mospheric without fatigue I think we shall
have power to dive into the aqueous without
peril, and that the pictured and tessellated
sea floor Will be as accessible as now istothe
traveler the floor of tho Alhambra, and all
the gardens of tho deep will then swing
open to us their gates as now to the tourist
CuatsWorth opens on public days its cascades
and statuary art ! conservatories for our en
trance. "It doth not yet appear what we
shall be." You cannot make md believe that
Ijlhith spread out all f hnt garniture of
;he deep merely for the polyps and Crustacea
:o look at.
And if the unintelligent creatures of the
Me literraneau and the Atlantic ocean He sur
rounds with sueh beautiful grasses of the
deep, what a heaven we may expect for our
uplifted and rauso nod souls when wo are
unc'iained of tho flesh aud risj to realms
boatillc! Of tho flora of that "sei of glass
mingled With Are," I have no power to apeak,
but I shall always bo glad that, when the
prophet of the text Hung over the gunwales
