Jesus Calms the Storm. “Peace,
Be Still ”
By Mercer Williams.
Jesus entered into a ship and
his disciples followed him; and
when all things were ready they
started on a voyage. But they
had not sailed very far before
there arose a great storm: even
the ship was covered with the
mighty dashing of the angry
waves. The skv was dark and
stormy, and to those who were
on board the situation seemed
most dangerous and critical; they
were all afraid; disaster and sud
den death was very close, and no
doubt this trying hour seemed
most fatal to them. There is no
doubt whatever but what the
thunder pealed forth in a loud
and terrific echo. No doubt but
what the fearful lightning shined
forth in uividness and the temp
est raged insomuch as all the in
dications pointed directly away
from the faintest hope of life and
safety.
My friends, if there is ever a
time when we need help it is
when the last ray of hope is fad
ing awr p; and probably those on
board the ship thought that all
hope .had vanished and the final
result would be destruction. Je
sus was asleep. No doubt he was
tired from the voyage, but never
theless his disciples went to him,
woke him up and asked him if he
cared not that they perish? They
had reached the extent of their
power,' and now they came to
him with this pitiful plea.
Of course Jesus did not intend
that they should perish, but the
great trouble was that their faith,
was not sufficient to drive all fear
from their hearts; that is, they
did not perfectly trust in him or
else they could have stood brave
and fearless.
Did you ever think that we,
within ourselves,can do nothing?
At the exhaustion of human pow
er and efforts afford merely a
starting point for the display of
God’s supreme power,
Lord, save us, or we perish,
echoed in the ears of Jesus. Fill-
ed with distress and fear, Lord
preserve ns, keep us, protect us,
and let not our lives be lost, was
the keen and earnest desire of
their request, inasmuch as to sav
we can’t save ourselves. But
listen, we can have faith and
faith is sufficient.
Jesus having awoke from his
sleep turned his attention to their
cries and began to exhibit his
wondrous power, But before he
goes further, seeing their fear,
he stops and gently rebukes them
for their lack of faith, saying,
why are ye fearful? Jesus did
not see anything to fear, and tho
even if a mighty storm was rag-
ing he had all power and could
control all things. Oh ye of little
faith. Jesus menns their faith as
being insufficient compared with
what they should have.
Then he arose and looking up
into the heavens full of darkness
where the clouds were moving in
anger and no ray of light was to
be seen, and spoke the one word,
Peace, Then looking out upon
the great deep where the angry
waves were roaring and falling,
and praising themselves higher
and higher, spake two more
words, Be still!
0, the wondrous power of God!
Just one command from him con
tained in a sentence of only three
small words was sufficient to d.s
play his pcwer. And when he had
thus spoken all signs of the gl;nrm
vanished; all the clouds passed
away and the clear-sky again
showed itself. The thunder ceas
ed to utter its great tone, the
lightning ceased to flash, the
tempest |was stilled, and behold,
there was a great calm. Even the
mighty waves resumed their nor
mal state and everything became
silent at the great command of
Jesus. Jesus had spoken and the
tempest responded 1o his voice.
Then they that were on board
marveled at him saying, what
manner of man is this that even
the winds and sea obey him?
They did not understand the se
cret of his great power and there
fore when he proved it so plain
and full of simplicity it was mar
velous in their eyes.
What manner of man is this to
whose voice the great storm and
mighty waves respond, and no
doubt they felt the presence of
his power inasmuch as to con
clude that he was a great deal
deal more than an ordinary man.
Jesus calming the tempest and
speading the words that saved
those on board was brought to
my mind while reading of the
great storms that have swept
over our country recently.
And while so reading and think
ing my thoughts were carried
back to the time when Jesus ex
erci. ed so much power and au
tho; icy over the storm tnat arose j
on t e sea; and listen,my friends,
Jesus still has the same power,
for he rides upon the storm On
ly trust him, for other refuge
have we none,
Jesus can also calm the fearful
feeling of our heart and whether
we be in sunshine or rain, calm
or storm, he can and will speak
peace to our souls if only we will
trust him.

and tossed |about with many

Success in life does not come by having your own way ev
ery time. Yielding a little here and there smooths many a
rough place. In domestic life, one finds the most perfect
house where there is mutual forbearance, and in business the
most successful merchant is the one who does not seek to
gain every cent for himself.
One of our lady subscribers who says she enjoys this de
partment of our paper, hands us the following recipe tor
making good husbands,|which she has tested and it worked
like a charm :
First. Bea good wife ;in so doing you will have a good in
fluence over hubby.
Second. Treat him to kind words, kisses and good din
ners. Prepare the dishes he likes best, if your means will
allow.
Third. Keep his room in order no matter how often he
scatters things around; put hat and boots where he will al
ways know where to find them.
Fouith. Never scold ;no matter how wet the wood or
how much the stove smokes; tell him you like it that way;
smile and go on.
Fifth. Make him believe he is ali the world to you, as,
indeed, he should be. Laugh at his jokes, no matter how
stale.
And last but not least, keep all his buttons sewed on and
all in their proper places, and all his socks well darned. Then
if you do not have a good husband we will say that you must
have remarkably poor mateiial to work on.
All sensible people \yho have the means and opportunity,
recuperate themselves by frequent pauses for recreation.
They do not defer this period of pleasure un'il the closing
months of worn out life. They are too wise to expect im
possibilities of nature —the recuperation of an utterly exhaust
ed body. They are too grateful to heaven that they possess
the means which is wisely used to prolong a useful existence
If a woman would be healthy she must have some healthy
object to live for; and what more worthy object for a wife
than to look well [to the ways of her household, and find
health and cheerfulness in helping her husband in a mutual
interest to lay by something for the years to follow when
feeble hand* and tottering limbs forbid profitable employ
ment. Such a course pursued b} men and women would pre
vent the great demand for almshouses, homes, and charities
of all sorts. “The righteous are not forsaken nor his seed
found begging bread.”
One meets few unworried people. Most faces bare lines of
care. Men and women go anxious to their days work and
rush through the hours with feverish speed, and at night
have hot brains and tumultuous pulses to disturb refreshing
sleep. This not only most unsatisfactory, but it is also a most
costly mode of living. Worry exhauts vitality. True, all good
in life exhansts. Virtue goes out of us in everything we do
that is worth doing. But for normal, healthful action, nature
provided. There is recuperative energy enough to destroy
the waste. The fountains are filled as fast as they are drain
ed. The fibei is renewed as fast as it is worned away. Wor
ry, however, is abnormal and unhealthy. It exhausts vitality
more rapidly than nature can reinforce if. It is like friction
in machinery and grinds away the fiber of life. Worry, there
fore, both impedes progress and makes work undue costly
and exhaustive. One neither accomplishes so much nor does
it so well while the outlay of vitality is greater. To live no-
bly, energetically up to one’s best, and yet without worry is
one of the highest attainments possible, It is the life whose
vision of beauty is pictured as the perfect peace; hence the
ideal theory of life is—Work without Worry.
What kind of a woman are you at home? Aie you one of
those who chase through life, dust cloth in hand, making
j everyone in the household uncomfortable because of a little
lust —upsetting the peace of the whole family, for the sake
o‘ gratifying your passion for housecleaning? Or do you live
as comfortably as possible, choosing rather to have a home
Ia sacred and beloved spot to husband and children, and hold
'their love above even the sacred duty of chasing microbes?
