AT SEA IN A STORE RPV. DR. TALMAGE ON THE STILLING Cr THE WAVER AT GENNESAF.HT. Telli the Familiar Eibls Story Dramatic Interest and Power?ii/Ja's S'orroy Voyage and Kctv ghipwrcc:? Xs.' i>? Avoided. This sermon by Be-. L>r. Ta.lmp.ge ?ill be of great solace to people who arc finding their life a rough voyage. Text. Mark :r, 3G: "And there were also sviih him other little ships, and there arose a great storm of wind. And the wind ceased and there was a great calm." Tiberias, Galilee, C-ennesaret ? tire? names for the same lake. Xo other gem ever had so beautiful a setting. It lay in a scene of great luxuriance; the surrounding hills high, terraced, sloped, groved, so many hanging gardens of beauty; the waters rumbling down between rocks of gray and red limestone, flashing from the hills and bounding into the sea. On the shore were castles, armed towers, Roman baths, everything attractive and beautiful; all styles of vegetation in shorter spacc than in almost any other space in all the world, from the palm tree of the forest to the trees of a rigorous climate. It seemed as if the Lord had launched one wave of beauty on all the scene and it hung J ynr>\~ <vn 1 hill and oleander. &?LU. i> fV Ulig iiv-i *vv- ? Roman gentlemen in pleasure boats mailing tie lake and country men in ?sh smacks coming down to drop their nets pass each other with nod and shout and laughter, cr swinging idly at their moorings. Oh, whir: a wonderful, what a beautiful lake.' It seems as if we shall have a quiet night. Not a leaf winked in the air: not a ripple disturbed the face of Gennesare:, but there seems to be a little excitement up the beach, and we hasten io see what it is, and we ind if. art pmnarkation. from the -western shore a flotilla pushing out; not a squadron or deadly armament, nor clipper frith valuable merchandise, nor piratic vessels ready to destroy everything they could seize, but a flotilla, bearing messengers of life and light and peace. Christ is in the front of the boat. His disciples are in a smaller boat. Jesus, weary with much speaking to large multitudes, L; pur into somnolence by the rocking of the -waves. 1 f there was auy motion at all, the ship was easily righted. If the wind passed from one* side, from the starboard to the larboard or from the larboard :o the starboard, the boat would rock, and by the gentleness of the motion putting the Masterasleep. And they f>Ttpm-norizp(i a rtillow made out of a f:?her man's coat. I thick no sooner is Christ prostrate and his head touching the pillow, than he is sound aleep. The breezes of the lake run their fingers through the locks of the worn sleeper, and the boat rises and falls like a sleeping child on the bosom, cf a sleeping mother. Calm night, starry night, beautiful night. Run up all the sails, ply all the oars, and let the large boat and the small boa: glide over senile Genaesaret. But the sailors sav there is going to be a change of Treat her. And even the passengers can hear the moaning of the storm as it comes 6c. with long stride, with all the terrors of hurricane and darkness. The large boat trembles like a deer at bay trembling among the clangor of the hounds; great patches of foam arc tiling into the air; the sails of the vessels loosen, and the sharp -winds cra'jk like pistols; the small boats like petrels poise on the cliff of the "craves and then plunge. Overboard go cargo, tackling and masts, the drenched disciples rush into the back part of the boat and lay hold of Christ and say to him, "Master, carest thou not that we perishv" That great personage lifts his head from the pillow of the iisncrman s coat, woiks to me front of the vessel and looks out into the storm. All around him are the smaller boats, driven in the tempest, and through it comes the cry of drowsing men. By the Hash of the lightning I see the calm crow of Christ as the spray dropped from his beard. He has one word for the sky and another word for the waves. Looking upward he cries, "Peace!" Looking downward he says, "Be still:" The waves fall Sat on their faces, the foam melts, the extinguished stars relight their torches. The tempest falls dead and Christ stands with his foot on the neck of the storm. And whiie the sailors are bailing out the boats and while they are trying to untangle the cordage the disciples stand in amazement, now looking into the calm sea. then into the calm sky, then into the calm of tie Saviour s countenance, ana men cry out, "What manner of man is this, that even the winds anu the sea obey him?" The subject in the nrst place impresses mo with the fact that it is very important to haye Christ in the ship, fcr all those boats would hare gone to the bottom of Gennesaret if Christ had not been present. Oh, what a lesson for you and for :ne to team! V,'hatever voyage we undertake, into whatever enterprise 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 goo i cheer. Do all you can do. Do it on as high a plane as possible. You have- no right to be a stoker in the ship if you c;:n be an admiral of the navy. You have no right to le a colonel of a regiment if you can command a brigade. You have no right to be engineer of a boarir on river banks or near the coast if you can take the ocean steamer from New York to Liverpool. All you can do, with utmost tension or body, mind and sou1, you are bound to do; but, oh. have Christ in every enterprise, Christ in every voyage, Christ in every ship! There are men v.ho ask God to help them at the start of great enterprise;. He has been with them in the past. No trouble can overthrow them. The storms might come down from the tcp of Mount Ilermon and lash Gennesaret into foam and inro agony, but it could not hurt them. But here is another man vho starts out in worldly enterprises. and he depends upon the uncertain ties of this life. He has no God to help him. After awhile the storm conies and ;osse3 cii* the masts of the ship. Ee puts out his lifeboat. The sheriff and the auctioneer try to help him of. They can't help him of. He must go down. >"o Christ in the ship.' Here are young men just starting out in life. Your life will be made up of sunshine and shadow. There may be in it arctic blasts or; tropical tornadoes. I knew not what is before you, but I know if you have Christ with you all shall be well. You may seem to get along without the re ugion ox uiris: wniie everything goes smoothly, but after awhile, when sorrov.hovers over the soul, when the waves of trial dash clear over the hurricane deck, and the bowsprit is shivered, and the halyards are swept into the sea, and the gangway is crowded with practical disasters?oh. what; would you then do without Christ :r. the : ship'.' Young man, take God for your portion, God for your guide, God for your help: then all is well; all is well for time, all shall be well forever. Blessed is that :aan who | put in the Lord his trust, He shall never ; oe comoun'-iea. But 3cy subject also impresses my with the fact that when people start to follow I Christ they must not espoct smooth sailing, i These disciples got into the small boats, and j I have no doubt they said: 'What a bcauti ful day this is! "What a smooth sea! v.'har.' a bright sky this is! How delightful is sailtag in this boat, and as for the -waves under ! the keel of the boat. why. they only make ! the motion of our little boat the more de- j lightful." But when the winds swept down.: and tne sea vras tcssed into wrath. tnen tney found that following Christ was no: smooth sailing. So you huve found it: so L have found it. Did you ever notice the end of the life of the apostles of Jesus Chris;': Von w ouid say that if ever men ought to have had a smooth life, a smooth departure, then :h men, the disciples of Jesus Chris:, ouch- to have had such a departure and such a lite. St. James lost his head. St. I* hllip w hung to death on a pillar. St. Matthew h.v.i his life dashed out with a halber Mark vr&s dragged to death through the street? St. Janes the Less was beaten to a fuller's club. St. Thcnos -as struck through with a spear.

Look at the various error? going over the church of Got!. "tt'c are going to founder. I The church is going to perish. She is go ing down.5' Oh. how :unny good people J are r-::riTilrC -1 Dy !r:ump::an;. liiiijuuv iu. i j our day. and think the church of Jesus i Christ and thecau?e of righteousness are go-! ; ing to be overthrown. and are jus: as much j i ali'righted as the disciples of my text were ] t affrighted. Don't worry, don'r fret, as j' though iniquity were going to triumph over i righteousness. i a lion goes into a cavern to sleep. He | lies down/ with his shaggy mane covering t the paws. Meanwhile tnespiuers spiu ^ wj I across the mouth of the cavern, and say, "We f I::ive captured him." Gossamer thread after ] gossamer thread is spun until the whole front j ? of the cavern is covered with the sDiders' J ? web. and the spiders say, The lion is done: j | the lion is fast/* After awhile the lion has | go: through sleeping. lie rouses himself, he ' j shakes his mane, he walks out into the sun-: light, he does net even know the spiders' web ; is spur., and with his voice he shakes the ; mountain. 3 So raen come, spinning their sophistries ! | r.nd skepticism about Jesus Christ. lie seems j to be sleeping. They say: "We have cap-' | tured the Lord. He wili never come forth j again upon the nation. Christ is captured.; ; and captured forever.

What is a spider's j Teh to the aroused lion? Give truth and error > a fair grapple, and truth will come off victor. i Hut there are ft great many good people who get affrighted in other respects. They ) are affrighted in our day about revivals, j They say: "Oh., this is a strong religious ; gale. V?"e are afraid the church of God is going to upset, and there are going to be a J great many people brought into the church ' * -- ? " A*1.7 j'.hat are going to oe ox ao use tv j they are affrighted whenever they see a revival taking hold of the churches. As though ;i ship captain with 5,000 bushels o: wheat for a cargo should say, some day. coning upon deck. "Throw overboard ? all the cargo," and the sailors shouid say: | "Why, captain, what, do you mean? Throw : over ali the cargo'.'" "Oh." says the cap5 tain, "wc have a peck of chaff that has got | into this 5,000 bushels wheat, and the only : way to get rid of the chaff is to throw ail the ; wheat overboard." Now, that is a great j deal wiser than the talk of a great many I Christians who want to throw overboard all ! the thousands and tens of thousands of souls j who have been brought in through great awakenings. Throw ail overboard because ?there is a peck of chaff, a quart of chaff, a ! pint of chuff I say, let then stay until the : last Day. The Lcrd will divide the chali from tho wheat. Oh, that these gales from heaven might sweep through ali our churches! Oh, for .such Jays as Richard Baxter saw in England ! and Ilobcrt McCheyne saw in Dundee: Oh, \ for such days as Jonathan Edwards saw in : Northampton! 1 have often heard my father \ tell of the fact that in the early part of this - - ' - v | century a revival broio oui in cvt;u>.?v,... : J., and some people were very muclx agitateu ' ahont it. They said, "Ob. you are going to bring too many people into the cimrcn a: I oncel'' and they sent down to >'ew Brunts' wick to get. John Livingston to step the revi; val. We1.', there was no better soul in all the i world than .iohn Livng-:*on. He went up. ] He looked at the re viva":. They wanted him ] to stop it. Jfe stood in the pulpit on the Sabbath and looked over the solemn auditory, and he said: "This, brethren, is in rea.'ity the work of God. Beware how you try to stop it." And he was an old man, leaning j i heavily or. his st&tf, a very old man. And j I he lifted that staff and took hold of the j small end of the staff and began to let it fall j | very slowly through, between the linger and J ?the thumb, and he said, "0 thou imoeni-! '-'I-'? i j tent, thou art falling now?ju.iii.us &7.. v : | from life, falling away from peace and heaI ven, failing as certainly as that cane is fallj ing through rr.y hand?falling certainly, though perhaps falling very slowly." And j the cane kept on falling through John Livingston's hani. The religious emotion in the audience was overpowering and men i sa~ a type of their doom as the caae kept j * falling and falling until the knob of the cane j | struck Mr. Livingston's hand, and he clasp- j ; ed it stoutly and said, ''But the grace of ? God can stop you as I stopped that cane," 1. .1 ... tV,a and then there was giauuess m* u..?u5m , house at the fact of pardon and peace and j salvation. "Well," said the people after I the service, "I guess you had better send j Livingston home, lie is making the revi- j j val -worse." Oh, for the gales from heaven | | and Christ cn board the ship. The danger of the church of God is not in revivals. > Again nv subject impresses me with [the j fact that Jesus was God and man in the I same being. Here he is in the back part of J the boar. Oh, how tired h: looks, what sad I dream; he mat: have: Loot at ins counts: n.mcc: he must be thinking of the cross to cemc. Look at him. he :s a man?bone of cur bone, tiesh of our ilesh. Tired, he falls ; asleep; ho is a man. But then I find Christ at the prow of the boat, I hear him say, "Peace, be still," and I see the storm kneeling at his feet, and the tempests folding j their w: :gs in his presence; he is a God. j If 1 have sorrow and trouble and want 5 | sympathy, I go and kneel down at the back part of the beat, and say, i;0 Christ, weary I one of Gennesaret. sympathize with all my V, ?.J, mon r.f fW > iyOrrOV>\ LUIiH U*. ; cross." A man, a man. Cut if I \rant to i con :.;er zij spiritual foe?, if I n&nt to get the victory over sin. death and hell. I come ic the front of the boat and I kneel Joirn and 1 .-ay. *-0 Lord Jesus Christ, ihou -ho dost hush the tempest, hush all my grief, hush ull my temptation, hush all my sin." A mar, a man; a God. a Clou. i learn oscc more from this suhjeci that Christ can hush a tempest. It did seem as if <.rerjthinj must go to ruin. The" disciples had giv#n up the iJe.-i of managing the j ship, the ere? were entirely demoralized: j j yet Christ rises, and he puts his foot on the jj s;or::i anu :f c roue no* ai n;> zee:, ua, yesChris: can bush. the tempest.

Twenty-one measurements of less than 1 an inch were received, 10 of from 1 .o 2ir-ches,and four of over 2 inches, 1 v?ith a maximum fall c? -1.50 at White Hall. The normal for i;fce vreek is ' approximately 1.4S, and the average j, cf all measurements is 1.00. [ Lisrht hail accompanied s. rain storm i in Ecige?eld over Toibert and adjoinI ing townships on the 23, doing consid: in omrm. A severe nail I storm occurred shout seven miles ; from Charleston or. the evening of the 29th, with hail-stor-ies ranging in sizs from peas to chesnuts, and damagin corn seriously ever a limited area. There were a few local high winds, which, however, did no injury. The sunshine was largely in excess of the normal and ranged from SO to i ICO per cent, of the possible, with g.n : average per cent, of 82 for the State. 'general remarks j The week's weather was very favor[ able for harvesting rice, making hay, i pulling fodder, digging potatoes, Srvol-i'nc orator? and slsn favorable for } greeting crops generally. Worrns ! arsd caterpillars hare almost entirely disappeared and are confined to limited areas in a few counties only. Seasonable farm work advanced rcpidly during the week. The reports on cotton are with few ! exceptions unfavorable to the crop | and note deterioration in condition in ! every county except York, Spartanj burg. Oconee and portions of Marion. J Chester, Sumter, Laurens, Anderson, Abbeville and Greenwood, where on heavy soils the plant continues to #row and hold the fruit it puts on. Over the remainder of the Stats generally, there is excessive shedding of | squares and young boils, and on light | sandy soils the plant is apparently j dying rapidly and is dons fruiting, i Black rust is prevalent, and in places j entire fields are affected. Worms also ; did some damage, especially in Ker' shaw. Tbo r)rrror*>r!f<: for a ton cron ara peer, although over considerable areas, as already noted, a top crop is making. Cotton opened rapidly during -he ^eek and central counties picking, ginning and marketing the crop has fairly begun and will become general over the State during the week. A few corr'tsponcents stated tiiat me iint is of a high grade and a few reported some damage to open cotton by the rains of the previous week. Sea island cotton is not materially injured and seemingly does not share in the general deterioration of upland cotton. The first bale of sea island cotton for the season of 1S37 was received in Charleston on the 25th of A -- Corn is materializing rapidly and is all about made. lis conditions and probable yield varies greatly, both as to early and late corn, but generally late corn is very fine and early corn by no means a poor crop. Worms are damaging corn in Beaufort. Fodder pulling was general during the week and was favored by the weather. This work is about completed in the most easterly counties and well advanced elsewhere. Much, complaints made of peas sheddins their leaves, but peas are on ;he : whole doing well. A heavy crcp of; psavine hay is being cut. Kice is maturing and ripening rsp- i idly and harvesting is well under: way. Rice oil the whole is a line j crop, ezceci that it was damaged in' Colleton by catepillars and that up-. land rice is generally no: up to an average. Tobacco curing is finished. Turnip sowing still continues, and ; in places good slands have been had, while in others, notably Pickens, some fields ?ill have to be resewn. A heavy crop of meadow hoy is being cut and curisg is iavcred by the wcbujer. Cane and sorghum grinding continues and a good quality of molasses is being made.

A mere temporary relief has come to tbe wheat farmers of ibis country at this time, because o? cruel drouths and unpropitious weather in most of tbe other wheat producing ' sections of the world. Our wheat farmers' good fortune is based on the misfortunes of wheal farmers in other sections of the world, and it is a very weak foundation to base the presperi- , ty of tbe world upon. At the b;st it ' primarily reaches but one class of nrcducers, and that a small class. If : vre could have dollar corn and ten cent cotton for this year's product, it ; would reach every farmer, for every farmer raises corn and cotton and has it to sell. It is true by helping the wheat farmer, oth^r classes toagreater or less extent will be benefited," for he will be enabled to pay the interest on his mortgage indebtedness, to pay 1 his store bills, taxes, etc., to patron- , ize mechanics and merchants, and an win :e2i more or less me Den- , ents of the influx of money from abroad into his pockets. But will the present increased price of wheat be any index to any permanent prosperity ? Does it give any assurance that we will have dollar wheat a year from now? On the other hand does it not give the assurance that in a year from now, wheat will be begging for buyers at fifty eoats a bushel or less, unless some great and world-wide calamity .1.

The higher pries 01 this vear will stimulate all wheat growers to plant morfe laagely with the expectation that such prices will be maintained. Oar own American farmers will travel the same road.
