command of the vessel. He was small,
crooked-baeke i and sore-eved. accord-
ing to tradition. It was Paul, the only
unseated man aboard. He was no mo re afraid
of a Euroclydoa tossing the Mediterranean
sea, now up to the gates of heaven uud now
sinking it to the gates of beil, than he was
afraid of a kitten playing witn r. string. He
ordered them all down to take their rations,
first asking for them a blessing. Then he
insured ail their lives, telling them thev
would be rescued, and. so far from losing
their heads, they would not lose so much of
their hair as you could cut off with one click
of the scissors—nny, not a thread of it,
whether it were gray with age or gold«u
with youth. “There shall not a hair fall
from the head of any of you.”
Knowing that they can never get to the de¬
sired port, timy make the sea on the four¬
teenth night bl sk with overthrown cargo.
bo that when iu ship strikes it wifi not
strike so beavi At daybreak they saw a
creek and in th .r exigency resolved to make
lor it. And so they out the cables, took in
the two paddles they had on those ol i boats
and hoisted the main-all so that they might
come with such force as to be driven high
up on the beach by some fortunate billow.
There she goes, tumbling towards the rocks,
now prow „ toremost,now stern foremost,
now
roiung over tot.io starboard now over to
the larboan.; now a wave dashes clear over
t ae deck, and it seems as if the old craft
has gone forever. But up she comes
again. iiiul s arms arouud a mast, ho
cries: All is well. God lias given me
all those that sail with me.” Crash
wen . the prow, with such force that it broke
off the mast. Crash went tho timbers till the
seas rushe l through from side to side of the
vessel, hhe parts amidships, aud into a
thousand fragments the vessel goes,and Into
the waves 27b immortals are precipitated.
Some ot them hud been brought up on the
seashore aud bad learned to swim, and with
their chins just above the waves and by the
strokes of both arms and propulsion of both
feet they nut out for the beach and reached
it. But alas for those others! They have
never learned to swim, or they were
wounded by the falling of the m.-ist, or the
nervous shock was too great for them. And
others had been weakened by long seasick-
ness.
Ga, what will become of them? “Take
tlmt piece oi a rudder,” says Paul to oue.
“Take that fragment of a spar,” savs Paul
to another. “Take that image of Castor and
Pollux. “Take that plank from the lire-
boat.” “Take anything and head for the
beach.” What a struggle for file in the
breakers! Oh, the merciless waters,
now they sweep over the hea ls of m n,
women and children. Hold on there'
Almost ashore. Keep up your courage.
Itemembor what Paul told you. There the
receding wave on the beach leaves in the
saml a whole family. There crawls up out of
the surf the centurion. There another plank
comes in. with a lifeclingingfast to it. There
another piece of the shattered vessel, with
its freightage oi an immortal soul. They
must by this time all bo sowed. Yes; there
comes m last of all. for he had been oversee-
ing the resr, the old missionary, who wrings
the water irom his gray beard and cries out,
“Thank God. all are here!”
I do not underrate the value of a great
theological system, but where in all the
Bible is there anything that Pays
Beheie m John Calvin and thou shalt be
saved;' or. believe in Armimus and thou
shalt be saved, or. believe in synod of Dort
aud thou shalt be saved, or, believe in the
Thirty-nme Articles uud thou shalt bo sftve.l?
A man may be orthodox and go to hell, or
heterodox and go to heaven. The man who
t.hnst fa**, deep atrection of his heart accepts
is saved, and the man who does not
accept him is lost.
I believe in both the Heidelberg and West-
minster catechisms, aud I wish you all did,
but you may believe in nothing they contain
except the one idea, that CErist'came to
save sinners, aud that you are one of them ;
and you are instantly rescued. If you can
come in ou the grand old ship, I would
rather have you get aboard, but if you can
only find a piece of wood as long as the hu-
mau body, i r a piece as wide us the out-
spread human arms, and either of them is a
Tens piece of the cross, come iu on that piece,
of thousands of people are to-day kept
out of the Kingdom of God because they
believe '
cannot everything.
I am talking with a man thoughtful about
his soul who has lately traveled through
New England and passed the night at And-
over, lie says to me, “I cannot believe that
in this life the destiny is irrevocably Ilxea: jl
think there will be another opportunity of
repentance after death.” Isay to him: “My
Don’t brother, what has that to do with you?
you realise that the man who
waits for another chance after death
whv." he has a good chance before death
is a .rk fool? Had not you better take
the plank that is thrown to you now
r-“tad for shore rather than wait for a
\ that may by invisible hands be thrown
to • ou after you are dead? Do as you please,
buYas for myself, with pardon for all my
sins offered me now, aud all the joys of time
and eternity offered me now. I instantly
take tli-m, rather than run the risk of such
other chance as wise men think they can peel
off or twist out of a Scripture passage
that h is for all the Christian centuries
been interpreted anotuer way.” You say, “I
flo not like Princeton theology, or New
Haven theology, or Andover theology. I do
n ask you on board either of these great
me. of-vrar, their portholes filled with tiie
great 'ego gnus of ecclesiastical battic. but
I do as you to take the ono p'ank of the
gospel that you do believe in and strike out
for the pearl strung beach of heaven.”
Says some other man. “d would attend to
religion if I was quite sure about the doc-
trine of election aud free agency, but that
mixes me all up.’ Those things used ro
bother me, but 1 have no more perplexity
about them, for I say to myself, “If I love
Christ and five a good, honest, useful life, I
I am elected to bs saved, and if I do not
love Christ Km live a bad life I will be
damned, nn l ad tho theological sem-
iuaries of the universe cannot make it
any different.” I fiouudered a long while
in the sea of sin and doubt, and it was as
rough as the Mediterranean on the four-
teenth night, when they turew the grain
overboard. but I saw there was mercy for a
sinner, and that plank I took, and I have
been warming myssli by the bright fire on
the shore ever since.
While 1 am talking to another m:.n about
h»s soul he tells mo, “I do not become a
Christian because i do not believe there is
any hell at all.” Ah. don't vou? Do all the
people of all beliefs and no belief at all, of
good morn's and bad morals go straight to a
bauched happy heaven? Do the holy and the de-
have the >ame destination? At mid-
mght, in a hallway, the owner o: a
house and a burglar meet. They both
fire, and both are wounded, but the
burglar dies iu live minutes, and the owner
of the bouse lives a week after. Will the
burglar be at the gate of heaven, waiting,
when the house owner comes in? Will the
debauchee and the libertine go right in
among the families of heaven? I wonder if
Herod is playing on the bank's of the river
of life with the children no massuered. I
wonder if Cnaries Guiteau aud John Wilkes
Booth are up ihnre shooting at a mark. I
do not now controvert it, although I must

lass in the right place, and the sails set, and

know nothing about ships, and never saw
one before I came on board this, and I can-
uot swim a stroke, but I am going ashore on
this shivered timber.” The man in the
offing, while trving to mend his ship goes
flown. The man who trusted to the plank
i s saved. Oh, my brother, let your smashed

Let all else go and cling to that; put that

heaven are on the beach with new white
robes to clothe all those who come in on
broken pieces of the ship,
My sympathies are for such all the
more because I was naturally skeptical,
disposed to question everything about
this life and the next, aud was in dan-
ger of being farl her out to sea than any
of the 27(5 in the Mediterranean break-
ers, and I wa« sometimes the anuoyaneo
of my theological professor because I
asked so many questions. But I came
inonaplank. I knew Christ was the Saviour
of sinners and that I was a sinner, and I got
.-.shore, and I do not propose to go out on
that sea again. I have not for thirty minutes
dismissed the controverted points of theology
in thirty years, and during the rest ot my
life 1 do not propose to discuss them lor
thirty, seconds.
I would rather in a mud scow try to
weather the worst cyclone that ever swept
un from tho Caribbean, than risk my immor-
ml soul in useless and perilous discussions
in which some of my brethren in the minis-
try are indulging. They remind me of a
company of sailors standing on the Rams-
gate usually pier launched, head, from which the lifeboats are
aud coolly discussing the
different styles of oarlocks and how
dee;* a boat ought to set in the water while a
hurricane is in full blast and there are three
steamers crowded with passengers going to
pieces in the offing. An old tar, the muscles
of his face working with nervous excitement,
cries out: “This is no time to disouss such
things. Man the lifeboat! Who will volun-
teer? Out with her into the surf! Pull, my
lads; pull for the wreck! Ha, ha! Now
we have them. Lift them in aud lay them
down on the bottom of the boat. Jack, you
try to bring them to. Put these flannels
around their heads nnd feet, aud I will pull
for the snore. God hoip me! There! Landed!
Huzza!” When there are so many struggling
in the waves of sin and sorrow and wratch-
edness. lot alt else go but salvation for time
and salvation forever.
You admit you are all broken up. one de-
cade of your life gone by, two decades, three
decades, four decades, a'half century,perhaps
three-quarters of a century, gone. The
hour hand and the miuuve hand of your
clock of life are almost parallel, and soon it
will be 12 and your day ended. Clear ais-
con raged, are you? I admit it is a sad thing
to give all of our lives that are worth any-
sin and the devil and then at
lost make God a present of a first rate
corpse. But the past you cannot recover.
Get on board that old ship you never wifi.
Have you oniy one more year left, oue more
mouth, one more week, one more day. one
mote hour—come in on that. Perhaps if
you got to heaven God may let vou go out
on some great mission to some other world,
where you can atone for your lack of ser-
vice iu this.
From many a deathbed I have seen
the hands thrown up in deploratlon
something like this: “My life has been
wasted. I had good mental faculties
and fine social position and great oppor-
tunity. but through worldllness and neg-
lect all has gone to waste save thtse
tew remaining hours. I now accept of
Christ and shall enter heaven through
His mercy, but alas, alas, that when I might
have entered the haven of eternal rest with
a tu 11 cargo, and been greeted by thewav-
inghandsofa multitude in whose salvation
I had borne a blessed part, I must confess I
now ent^r the harbor of heaven on broken
pieces of the ship.”

SATISFIED SISTERS.
Y7HAT POSTPONED TIIE TRIP TO IIOT
SPUING*.
From the Tribune, Cullman, Ala.
Two well known ladies o! Holly Pond,
Cullman County, Alabama, are the Misses H.
A. and M. F. Shepard, and they are hold in
the highest estoem.
Two years ago, Miss M. F. Shepard, was
stricken with terrible sickness, from which
she suffered long. The history of the case
is so interesting that wo publish the lady’s
own version as it is every way worthy of
perusal:
“Two years ago Inst February, I was
stricken with a terrible pain around my
heart, which prostrated me for hour-*, and
from then on I grew weaker until spring,
when from impaired circulation and impov¬
erishment of the blood, a stomach difficulty
set in. bloating my body fearfully. Of course
I was confined to my bed and to add to my
sorrows a general attack of rheumatism fol
lowed, so that motion was painful, and loco-
motion impossible,
“Several physicians were consulted but
they gave nae no relief, until the last came,
whoso helped my stomach difficulty, th<it
.after several months I was able to sit up.
The rheumatism, however, stubbornly
stayed, and I was advised that my only hope
was the Hot Springs of Arkansas. I was
preparing to make the journey, when I was
recommended to try Dr. Williams’Pink Pills,
“During my illness, I had taken two boxefe
of these self same pills, but not in the way
recommended, as I was taking other reme-
dies. Now though, 1 determined to try them
properly, as I was no longer nder a physi-
cian’s care, and could do as pleased, aud
my ordered sister, Miss H. A. Shepard, at my request,
six boxes of Pink Pills for me, as I
could r.ot leave the house and could only
hobble with the aid of crutches,
“By the time I bad finished tne pills, I had
given up crutches, though 1 was still almost
a skeleton from the ordeal through which 1
had passed. 1 am now quite fleshy, and the
only agent that has caused the change is Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills, for I used no other
medicine. My right hand is still drawn so
that I can only use the thumb and first fln-
ger, and my back is still lame, but I am in
better health than for many years. None of
my friends expected me to live, and at one
time it was feared my reason was giving
wa y- I do not know how to pay a suffl-
eiently high tribute to Dr. Williams’ medi-
cine - It is, 1 believe the grandest blood
medicine that was ever prepared,
“Now. having stated my own case, 'et me
refer to my sister, Miss H. A. Shepard, who
had a scirrhous growth on her right temple.
This was terribly inflamed and spreading so
fm>t, that I prevailed upon her to order live
dollars'worth of Dr. Williams’ Pink Puls,
and test their virtue as a blood cleaner, as
the only means of arresting the rapid growth
of the cancer. This she did, and has taken
about seven of the boxes, and is still taking
t hem - The sore has stooped spreading, and
appears to be healing. When she began to
take the pills she was the thinnest living be-
tag I oversaw that could move aboat. Now

K ainei1 its normal appearance, and she is
stronger, and her general health is better

Seventy Cents for a Horse.
A horse for seventy cents!
A real live animal, capable of drag¬
ging a peddler’s cart and its owuer
for a price less than six bits.
McCurrie, special officer for the Fre
venkion of Cruelty to Animals in the
City and County of San Francisco, has
found the oddest horse trade that has
come to notice in a long time, says the
San Francisco Call.
“I forget who the peddler was,” Mc¬
Currie said yesterday, “but I know
about the lowest-priced horse that ever
has assisted any man in San-Franclseo
to carry on business.”
McCurrie has every-day contact with
horses all over the city, and, as might
be supposed, it is a fact that the poorer
horses are those which are the most
subject to abuse and so attract his at¬
tention more closely, the complaints be¬
ing principally against the owners of
such.
“Of course this was a cash trade,”
solid McCurrie, with some amusement.
“The money paid over was two quit¬
ters, one dime aud two nickels. When
til® owner of the nag received this*
money the peddler got the horse sure
enough and w'as ready for business.
“The fact is that peddlers con get oil
the horses they want now for $1 each.
I knew of another case where a horse
was bought by a peddler for an old
stove which was much the worse for
wear; the stove, I mean, and for $1 :n
cash.”

KEPT UP BY COCAINE.
Six-Day Bicycle Contests Stimulated to
Break Records.
At the clese of the recent six-day bp-
cycle race in New York the Star took
occasion to comment on the extraordi¬
nary smashing of records and to dis¬
cuss the probable elements entering
into this apparent progress toward
perfection in physical and mechanical
development. It now appears that a
hitherto unsuspected factor contrib¬
uted in the main to this result—cocaine.
This powerful drug, an alkaloid obtain¬
ed from coca leaves, has been used
since 1SS4 as a local anaesthetic, and
has unquestionably been of service to
surgeons, particularly to oculists.whose
scope of success has been greatly wid¬
ened by the ability to perforin bold
operations on the eye. which is ex¬
tremely sensitive. The drug has also
placed a new material for artificial
stimulation 'in the possession of those
unfortunates Who crave indtflgenee in
such intoxicants as morphine, Ko-
een'tly a report has come from a Con¬
necticut town tiialt scores of the inhab¬
itants are acutely suffering from the
cocaine habit, resulting from a local
druggist’s concoction for The relief of
catarrh. Now if is asserted that the
riders in the New York race were dosed
regularly wiitth cocaine, twenty drops
in a glass of rnlilk being given at a time.
This, It is said, stimulated the flagging
energies and deadened The pain caused
by the strain on The muscles and the
nerves, and enabled the men to main¬
tain wonderful rates of speed for pe-
riods heretofore regarded as beyond the
limits of human endurance. One rider,
ilt is related, remained on his wheel
without interruption for n*o less than
fifty-four hours, under the Stimulation
caused by an extra dose. The record
was broken by Twelve riders, one of
them exceeding it by twenty per cent.,
but tire results of TMs method of secur¬
ing Temporary stimulation are still in
evidence, though the race ended three
weeks ago, one of the men being re¬
ported to be still in hospital, suffering
agonies of mind and body. Cocaine is
not only a stimulant and a temporary
nerve paralyzer, bolt, according to some
medical authorities, 'it is a specific
muscle poison, breaking down the cords
ami sinews. If these things related of
The wheelmen be true—and the circum¬
stances of the race and its results lend
color of extreme probability to the as¬
sertions—Tire riders who became fa¬
mous for their unparalleled achieve¬
ments were deliberately destroying
their permanent abilities for the sakt
of temporary success.—Washington

A LETTER TO WOMEN
From Mrs. James Corrigan.
For seventeen years I have suffered.
Periods were so very painful that I
would* have to go to the doctor every
month.
He said that I had an enlargement of
the womb, and told my husband that I
must undergo an
operation, as I had
tumors in the
womb, and it
was a case of ( W/SJ
life or death. 1
I was ope- '
rated upon
twice, did not but it j
seem »,
to do me any //
good, it made 1
me very weak,
I was troubled
with the leu-
corrhoea a I
great deal.
I also suffer¬
ed with the
sick headache, Cv
vomiting
spells, back¬
ache all the
time, terrible pain in my left side, chills,
loss of appetite, and could not sleep
nights. After taking several bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com¬
pound, some Liver Pills, and using your
Sanative Wash, I recovered.
I can eat well, and every one that
sees me tells me I am a different per-
son. I can do all my own work, sleep
well and feel well. I am growing
stronger every day, and am able to go
out and enjoy a walk and not feel all
tired out when I return, as I used to. I
doctored for sixteen years, and in all
those years I did not feel as well as I do
at the present time. I wish that every
woman that is troubled as I was, would
try that medicine. Oh! it is so good
to feel well, and it is all owing to Mrs.
Pinkham's kind advice and medicine.

A Cougher’s Coffers
may not be go full ns he wishes, but if he is
wise he will neglect his coffers awhile and
attend to his cough. A man’s coffers may be
so secure that no one can take them away
from him. But a little cough has taken many
a man away from his coffers. The “slight
cough” is somewhat like the small pebble that
lies on the mountain side, and appears utterly
insignificant. A fluttering bird, perhaps, starts
the pebble rolling, and the rolling pebble begets
an avalanche that buries a town. Many fatal
diseases begin with a slight cough. But any
cough, taken in time, can be cured by the use of
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.
