And they extemporized a pillow, made out of a fisher man s coat. I think no sooner is Christ prosi 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 wora sleeper, and the boat rises and falls like a sleeping child on the bosom of a sleeping mother.- :. ; - . . .. . , - , . Calm night, starry night, beautiful night. Kun up all the sails, ply all the oars, and let the largo boat and the smaller boats glide over the gentle Gennesaret. . But the sailors say there is going to be a change of weather. And even the passenger's can hear the moan ing of the storm, as it comes on with great stride, and all the terrors of hurricane and aarKne83. The larsre boat , trembles like a deer at bay among the clangor of the hounds $ great patches of foam are flung into the air; the sails of the vessel loosen, and flapned bv- the wmd crack like nistols- th rttiaIW traita like petrels, poise on the cliff of the waves and then plunge. . . j . Overboard go cargo, tackling, and masts, and the drenched disciples, rush i. to the harb part of tho boat, and lay. hold of Christ, and wy uiilu nun: "jaaster, carest lnou not tuat we perishf ' ' That, great personage lifts His head from the pillow of the fisherman's coat, walks to the front -of ther" vessel, and lbofes out into the storm. AH 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 -1 see the calm brow of Christ as the spray dropped from his beard. ' He has one word for the sk v and an other for the - waves. : Looking ' upward He cries: "Peace l?-.- Lcokinz downward He sava: Be stilL" -, ; , - .. . . . s The waves fall flat on their faces, the foam melts, the extinguished stars re-Ktrht their. torches. The tempest falls dead, and Christ stand with His right foot on the neck of the storm. I And while the sailors are bailin&r out 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 Himf . -: - 1 ho subject m the first place imnre kps mo with the fact that it is. very important to have Christ in the ship; for all those boats would have gone to the botton of Gennesaret if Christ had not been present. Oh, what a lesson for yon and for me to learn! ' We must' always have Christ in the -ship. Whatever voyage we undertake, into whatever enter-i prise we start, let us always have Christ in" the ship. 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 possible. : You have H no right u to be t. a stoker m the ship , if i you can be an admiral' -of . .the navy. , You have no 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. the North River, or near the coast, if you can take the ocean steamer from 3?ew York i to Liverpool. : All you can , do with utmost tension of : body, mind, and soul, you are bound to do; but oh! have Christ in every enterprise, r Christ in every voyage, Christ in every ship.' v There are men here who asked God to help them at the start of erreat enterprises. He has been with them iu the ' past ; tio trouble can overthrow them: the storms misrht come down from the top of 'Mount Hermon, and lash Gennesaret into foam . and iato agony, but it could not hurt them' Hut here is another man- who starts out m worldly enterprise, an I he depends upon the uncertainties oCthis life. He has no God to help him. After a. while the storm comes and tosses off til's masts or the ,sifp: h-j .put? out his lifeboat and" the loji-g-lKit, ; the. sheriff and the auctioneer try to help him oS; they can't help him off; he must go down: no Christ in thg ship.: Here are young men just starting out in life. , Your life will be made up jof sunshine and shadow. There may be ii it arctic blasts, or tropical tornadoes; I know not what is before yoJ, but I know if you have Christ with you all shall be welt ; , You may seem to J get along without the religion of Christ while everything "! goes smoothly, but after, a while,, when sorrow t hovers over the soul, when the waves of trial dash clear over thr hurricane deck, and the decks are crowded with piratical disasters; Oh, what would you do then 'Without Christ in tbeship? Youhg man, take God for your portion, G od for ' your guide, God for your help; then all is well; all is well for tune; all shall be well forever. ' Blessed is that man who puts in the Lord his trust,; He shall never be confounded, i- : ; .. : -s But my subject a'so impressss me with the fact that when people start to' follow Christ they must not expjpct smooth sailing." " : These disciples got into the small boats, and I have no doubt tney said: "What a beauti ful day this is! . What a smooth sea! What a -f J)right sky t ; this ;.isn: How delightful is ' sailing this toatl t and as for the waves f under the -keel of : the boat, why they only make the 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 was not smooth sailings Ho you .have found ft sol have found it. Did you ever notice the end of the life of the apostles of .Jesus Christ? You would say if ever men ought to have had a smooth lifer a smooth depart ure, then those men, . the disciples of ? Jesus Christ, ought to have had such a departure and such a life. -. t: i'f , f - . -ri-:U Kt. James lost his head. St. Philip was hung on a pillar. - St. Matthew -had his life dashed out with a. halbert - St. Mark was dragged to death through the streets.-St. James the Less was beaten, to death with a fuller's club. St. Tuomas was struck through with, a spear. . "They did not find following Christ smooth sailing, . Oh, how they were all tossed in the tempest! John Hussin the fire, " Hugh McKail . in the hour of martyr dom, the Albiarenses.i the Waldenses. the Scotch Covenanters did they find it smooth sailing? - f : , Bnt why-go to history' when I can come into this audience to-day and find a score of illustrations of the truth of this subject.

' Ob, do not be disheartened 1 - Oh,- child ? of ' GodK? take couragel Yoa are in glorious eompanionship. ' God will see yott through all these trials, and He will deliver you. : r : - --' -;T My subject also impressss me with the fact that good - people sometimes get very much frightened. ; . ,C i "'":' ' f In the tone of the voice of these disciples as they rushed into, the back part of the boat, I Bnd they are frightened almost to death. They sfty : Master carast thou ndt 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 anrightenedr Perhaps more. - i ' - ln all ages very goad paople get very much affrightened. " It u often so in our day, and men say: .Why look at the bad : lectures; look at the Spiritualistic societies; look at the various errors going over the Church of God; we are going to founder -r the Church is going to perish; she is going down.". Oh, how many good people are affrightened by the iniquity in our day, and think the JChurch of Jesus Christ is going td be overthrown, and just as much affrightened as were thedisciples of my text. Don t worry, dont fret, as though in iquity were going to triumph over righteous ness. , -. . ' . . ... ....... .. ' A lion goes into a cavern to sleep.

They say: 'We have captured the Lord; He will never come-forth. again upon the nation; Christ is captured iforevec His religion "will never, make any conquest among men." But after a while, the-Lion of the Tribe of Judah will rouse Himself and come forth to shake mightily the nations. What is the spider's web to the" aroused lion? Give-truth and error a fair grapple, and truth will come off victor. ? - - ' - But there are a great many x good people who get affriehtened in other respects; they are affrightened in our day about revivals. They say: "Oh! this is a strong religious gale; we are afraid the Church of God is going to be upset, and there are gouvz to be. a great manypeople brought inta tn3 church that are going to be of no use to it;" and they are affrightened whenever they see a revival taking hold of the churehes.3. ''- -'"ih ' As though a ship captain with five thou sand bushels of wheat for a cargo should say, some dav. eomins nnon deck; f'Throw orer- board au cargo;" and the sailors should say: j - v ny captam, wnat ao you mean? : i nrow 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 tha . 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 Christians who want to throw, over board all the thousands and tens of thousands of souls who are the subjects of revivals. Throw all overboard becausa they are brought "into the kingdom of God through great re vivals, becausa there is a peck of chalf.'a pint of chaff ! I say, let them stay until the Last Day; the Lord will divide the chaff from the wheat. .'".:.

Oh, for such days as Richard Baxter saw in Kidder minster and Robert McCheyne saw in Dundee I Oh, for such days as Jonathan Edwards saw in Northampton ! I have of ten heard- my father tell of the fact that in the early part of this century a rovival broke out at Somer--v T t,l l .,,.u agitated 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 better soul in all the world than John Livingston, -die went and looked at the revival; they wanted him to stop it. A He stood in the -pulpit on' the Sab bath, ani looked over , the solemn auditory; and he said i '"This, brethren, is in reaUty the work of God ; beware ho w you try to stop it" And he was an, old man, leaning heavily on his staff a very, old man. And he lifted that staff, and took hold of the end of that staff, and began to let it fall very slowly through, between th - finger and i the thumb, and lie said: "Oh," thou impenitent, thou art falling now railing away from nfe, falling away from peace and heaven, falling as certainly as that cane is f alliug through my hand fall ing certainlyj though perhaps falling , slow lv." :" And tne cane Kept on falling through John Livingston's hand. The religious emo in the audience was overpowering, and men saw a type of thir dooai, as- the cane kept falling and falling,,, untile 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," and then there was gladness all through the house at . the fact of pardon and peace and salvation.- "Well,?' said the people after the service, "I guess you had better send Livings ton home? he is making the revival worse." Oh, for. .the 'gales from heaven, and Christ on board the ship! The danger of the Churchof God is not in revivals.' - Again my subject impresses me 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! t. Lookat ms counte nance: He must be thinking of the cross to come. Look at Him, He is a man bone of ur bone, flesh of our flesh. . Tired,' He falls asleep; He is a man. Uut then 1 nnd Chnst at the prow of "the boat; I hear him say: "Peace, be still' arid I see the storm kneel ing at His feet, and the tempests folding their winss in His presence; He is a God.- .r .

A Cobra Acts as Nurse, The cobra is not generally credited with5 kindly feelings toward hnmanity; on the contrary it has the reputation cf Demg almost tne equal oi tne namaaryaa ui misanthropy. Terhaps, however, it frames the same charge against man, on the ground that whenever it crosses his path he invariably seeks its life. From an interesting" incident which occurred lately at Pndupet, in : the Madras Presi dency, it appears that there , are some cobras, at all events, who ; experience a yearninjg for more friendly relations with the human race.

C learly it must have watched the nurse ; when putting the child to e'eep, and 'sought in its humble wsy to execute a lullaby with the proper accompaniamcnts. " On i an alarm being raised theerpent made off in haste, but without-taking even a nibble at the little one. : Perhaps it was just as lucky that the latter did not awake; a baby in full cry has been known " before now0 pro voke even numan Deings wrain.- It is estimated that . the -wool clip of this year - will : amount to 300,000,000 pounds, and be worth $85,000,000.

Hugh Farrell, a survivor, gave this version of the affair: "We were operating steam drills in Martin's lower tunnel. - I was with James Cullen, boss of the drill in the lower, heading.. Above us were Elmbr Canfield and Norman Bell, who were running a steam drill there. About twenty . minutes after we began to drill a sudden explosion occurred in the upper head ing. I was knocked down by a piece of rock.

Cullen was a man of fifty with a wife and thrfce children. Canfield was a young man lately married. I escaped with the loss of my little -finger and a' bruised face. Martin Malice and Richard Miller, who were some distance away, received slight injuries." ' ; Farrell thinks the explosion was caused by the drill striking an unexploded dynamite cartridge in an old hole, " The custom is to put off several blasts at nearly one time, and the only way to know if all have exploded i3 to count the reports.

Mrs. Walsh, tne warden's wife, and Matron ' McKeon, thought best to prepare the poor - mother for the interview, rearing that a sua--den appearance of the child might prove too much for the woman in her weak condition. The mother's instinct, however, was too quick. She glanced at their faces, and rose from - her couch xclairaing in Italian, "My child, my child is here." The murderess was led into the matron's room, where the child ' was. - - Mrs. ' Ggnarale's deep-sunken eyes flashed with joy,- Her sti ength seemed to have returned. - She dropped on her knees as the child ran forward, and with a loud cry of happiness, threw her arms around her. Tha mother hugged the child to her bosom, and kissed her repeatedly,- murmuring, "Oh , my Rosine, mv Rosine.' The grief -stricken mother rapidly told in Italian the story of her woes, the child sobbing in childish grief in sympathy. Little Rosine would put her amis around Mrs.-Cignaraie's neck and kiss her, murmuring, "Mater, Mater." For three hours ; the : child :', remained. -.
