Not a leaf winks 1 in the air; not a ripple

seems to bo a little excitement up the beach,
and we hast™ to see what it is, and we find it
an embarkation.
From the western shore a flotilla pushing

disciples with are following in smaller boats. Jesus,
weary much speaking to large multi¬
tudes, is put into somnolence by the rocking
of the waves! If there was any motion at
all the 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

the hu ge boat and tlie smaller boats glide
over the gentle Gennesaret. But the sailors
say there is going to be a change of weat her.
And even the passenger’s can hear the moan¬
ing of the storm, as it comes on with great
stride, aud all the terrors of hurricane anil
darkness. The large boat trembles like a
deer at bay among the clangor of the hounds;
great patches of tho of foam are (lung into the air;

brow By the flash of the lightning 1 see the ealni
of Christ as the spray dropped from his
beard. He lias one word for the sky and an¬
other for the waves. Looking upward He
cries: “Peace!” Looking downward H e says:
“Be still.”
The waves fall flat on their faces, the foam
melts, the extinguished stars re light their
torches. The tempest falls dead, and Christ
stand with Ilis right foot on the neck of the
storm. And while the sailors are bailing out
tbe boats, and while they ar e trying to un¬
tangle the cordage, the disciples stand in
amazement, then into the now calm looking sky. into the calm sea,
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?”
The subject in the first, place impre sesme
with the fact that it is very important to
have Christ in the ship: for all those boats
would have gone lo the button of Gennesaret
if Christ had rot been present. Oh, what a
lesson for you and fur me to learn! We must
always have Christ in tlie ship. Whatever
voyage we un lertak", into whatever enter¬
prise we stilt. Ictus always have Christ in
the ship. Many of you in those days of
revived commerce are starting out in new
financial enterprises. I bid you gixxl cheer.
Do all you c in d >. !>o it on as high plane as
possible. You have no right to be a
stoker in the ship if you can be an
admiral of th navy. Y ou have
no l ight to be a i olonrl of a regiment have if you
can command a brigade; you no right
to be engineer of a boat on the North River,
or near the coast, if vou can take the ocean
steamer from New York 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, Christ in
every voyage, Christ in every ship.
There are men here who asked God to help
them at the start of great enterprises. He
has been with them in the past; no trouble
can overthrow them; the storms might come
down from the top of Mount Hermon, and
lash Gennesaret into foam and into agony,
but it could riot hui t them.
But here is another man who starts out in
worldly enterprise, an-1 he depends upon the
uncertainties of this life. lie has no God to

and tosses off tho masts of the ship; he puts
out his lifeboat and the long-boat, the
sheriff aud the auctioneer try to help him off;
they Christ can’t in the help ship. him Here off; he must go down; no
starting out in life. Yoar are life young will men be just
of sunshine made
up and shadow. There may bn
iL it arctic blasts, or tropical tornadoes; I
know not what is b fore you, but 1 know if
you have Christ with yon all shall lx? well.
You may seem to get along’ without the
religion ot Christ while everything goes
smoothly, hovers but after a while, when sorrow
over the soul, when the waves of trial
dash clear over the hurricane deck, and the
decks are crowded with piratical disasters;
oh, in the what ship: would you do then without Christ
portion, God Young man, take God for your
for your guide, God for your
help; all shall then bo all is well; all is well for time;
well forever. Blessed is that man
who puts in the Lord his trust. He shall
never be confounded.
But my subject also impresses me with the
fact that when people start to follow Christ
they These must not expect smooth sailing.
I have disciples they got into the small boats,and
no doubt said: "What a beauti¬
ful day this is I TVliat a smooth sea! What
a is bright sky this is! How delightful
sailing this boat! and as for Uio
waves under the keel of the boat, why
the they only make the motion of our little loat
more down, delightful.’’ But when the winds
swept and the sea was tossed into
wrath, then they found that following Christ
was not smooth sailing. So you have found
it; so I have found it. Did you ever notice
the end of the life of the apostles of Jesus
Christ: Y'ou would say if ever men ought
to have bail a smooth life, a smooth depart¬
ure, then those men, the disciples of Jesus
Christ, such ought to have had such a departure
and a life.
St. James lost his head. St. Philip was
hung dashed on a pillar. St. Matthew had his life
out with a halbert. St. Mark Ha*
James dragged the to death through the streets St.
Less W'as beaten to death with a
fuller s club. St. Tiioma.-> was struck through
with a spi-ar. They did not find following
Christ smooth sailing. Oh, how they were
all tossed in the tempest! John Huss in ths
fire, dom, Hugh McKail in the hour of martyr¬
the Albigeuses, the Waldenses, the
Beolcb Covenanters—did they find it smooth
sailing! But why
into this audience go to history when I can come
illustrations of to-day and find a score of
the tr-uth of this subject. That
young man in the store trying to serve God,
while his employer scoffs at Christianity, th*
young men ;n the same store, antagonistic to
the Christian religion, teasing him, torment¬
ing him about his religion, trying to get him
wad. They succeed in getting him mad, 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 Chr istian religion;
her brothers and sisters scoff at the Christian
religion; she can hardly find a quiet place i»
which to say her prayers. Did she find it

or the Christian Ob’ no! all who would live the life
fion; if you do religion find it must suffer persecu-
not in one way, you

The question was asked: “Who aro those
nearest the throne!” and the answer cauie
back: "These are they who come up out of
great tribulation;- great flailing, as th*
—"and original has hod it; thoir great robos flailing, washed great pounding
and mads
white in the blood of tho laimb.’’ Oh, do not
be disheartened! Oh, child of God! take
courage! You are in glorious companionship.
God will soc you through all those trials, aud
He will deliver you.
My subject oLo impresses me with the fact
that good people sometimes get very much
frightened. hi the tone of the voice of those disciples
as
they rushed into the hack part of the boat, I
find they are frightened almost to death.
They perish!" say: They “Master, rarest thou not that we
had no reason to lx? frightened,
for Christ was in tho boat, I suppose if we
had bom there we would liave bwu just as
affrighteneil. Perhaps more.
In all ages very go >fl people get very much
affrightemxl. Why, It look is often so in bad our day, lectures; and
men say: at the
look at the Spiritualistic societies; look at the
various errors going over the Church of God;
we perish are going to founder; the Church is going
to ; she is going down.” Oh, how many
good people day. are u(frightened tho Church by the of iniquity
Mi our and think Jesus
Christ is going to be overthrown, and just as
much affrightened as were the disciples of my
text. Don t worry, don’t fret, as though in¬
iquity were going to triumph over righteous
ness.
A Uon goes into a cavern to sleep. He lies
down, with his shaggy inane covering the
~— paws. Meanwhile the spiders spin a web
across the mouth of the cavern, and say:
“We have capture 1 him.” Gossamer thread
after gossamer thread is spun until the whole
front of the cavern is covered with the spi¬
ders’ web, and tho spiders sav ; “The lion is
done; the lion is fast.” After awhile f h" lion

affrightened whenever they see a revival
taking hold of the churches.
As bushels though a ship captain with five thou-

some day, coming upon the deck: "Throw over
board all cargo;’ and sailors should say:
“Why, all captain, the what “Oh,” do you mean! Ihrow

“we have a jieck of chaff that has got into

say, let stay Last
Day; the Lord will divide the chaff trom the
wheat.
Do not be afraid of a great revival.
Oh, that these gales from heaven might
sweep days through Richard all our Baxter churches! Oh, Kidder for
such as saw in
minster and Robert McCheynesawinDundee!
Oh, for such days as Jonathan Edwards saw
in father Northampton! tell the I that have often early heard my
of fact in the part
of this century a revival broke out at Homer-
ville, N. J.. and some people were very much
agitated about it. They said: “Uh, you are
going church to bring too many people into the
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. He went and
looked at the revival; they wanted him to
stop it. He stood in the puli lit on the Sale
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 ho was an old man, loaning heavily on
his staff—a very old man. And no lifted that
between the finger and the thumb, and lie
said: “Oh, thou impenitent, thou art falling
now—falling away heaven, from life, falling away
from peace and falling a* certainly
as that cane is falling through ray hand—fall¬
lv. ing certainly, And though perhaps falling slow
John Livingston’s the cane kept on falling through
hand. The religious emo-
in the audience was overpowering, and men
saw a type of their doom, as tho cane kept
falling and falling, Livingston’s until the knob of
the cane struck Mr. hand, and he
clasped it stoutly' and said: “But the grace of
God can stop you, as I stopiied that cane;”
and then there was gladness ail through the
boast? at the fact of pardon and peace and
salvation. service, "I “Well,” said the people send after fits
guess you had better Livings¬
ton home; he is making the revival worse.”
board Oh, for the gales from heaven, and Christ on
the 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. boat. Oh, Here He is in the hack part of the

nance; Ho must fie thinking of the cross to

our bone, flesh of our flesh. Tired, He falls
asleep; tho He is a man. But then I find Christ
at prow of the boat; I hear him say:
“Peace, be still;” and I see the storm kneel¬
ing at His feet, and the tempests folding thoir
wings in His presence; He is a God.
If I have sorrow and trouble, and want
sympathy, of the I go and kneel down at the back
part of boat, and say: “O, Christl weary

The Alligator.
Alligators aro found in tbe lower Mis¬
sissippi nnd in many southern bayous
and streams, as well as in some parts of
Central and South America. Those in¬
habiting tbe United States are the larg¬
est of the family. The length ranges
from 15 to 18 feet, the head being about
one-seventh of tbe length of the entire
body. It is not poisonous; the princi¬
pal weapon of offense is the tail, which
it wields, when aroused, with Iremend-
ous force. It has often been known to
attack and kill men, both in the water
and on land. Tbe jaws, which are
large and provided with sharp teeth,
come together, when the animal desires it,
with a sound that ii sometimes heard
for 200 or 300 yards. Its favorite posi¬
tion when the weather is warm and the
sun shining, is lying on the sand, at
which time persons not familiar with its
appearance think it is a log.
The alligator and crocodile are closely
allied. The former, however, has a
larger bead, more numerous teeth, and a
blunter snout than the latter. Although
tho crocodile is a European reptile, a
species of it, it is believed, has been
found in Florida. The bony i?kin of the
alligator is nbout as impervious to bul¬
lets as tho hull of an ironclad. Hunters,

The Snake Defended.

to man in destroying destructive insects
and keeping the waters of ponds and

nnd its oil is useful for healing purposes.

But is not the snake cruel, crafty and
treacherous? This is a superstition
which has been proven to be false by all

which was begotten by the erroneous

thoughtlessness, and which has ignor¬
