A SEI [Preached by Rev. W ? Episcopal Church Septembe: TEXT-"And the sea arose by rea son of a great wind that blew. So when they had rowed about five-and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship. But he said unto them, 'It is I: be not afraid.' "-John vi: 18-20. ' The Sea of Galilee, or, as it is often called, the Lake of Genessaret, was, during the prosperity of the Holy Land, a veritable Lake 'Michigan. Her blue waters, restless and impa tient, seemed to delight in being toss ed and rolled, and even lashed, into foam and spray hy the sudden, violent winds, that would literally dart down from the surrounding heights upon her sportive waves. Yet all the while tliis beautiful sea was alive with every manner of craft, bearing the trade from the far East to the Custom House in Capernaum. And n over was a sea surrounded by a more beautiful country. "The smiling landscape of Lower Galilee in vites the easy labor of the agricultu ralist. Even the highlands of Upper Galilee were not like those of Judea, sombre, lonely, enthusiasm-kindling, but gloriously grand, free, fresh, brac ing. * * * It was here that Asshur had dipped his foot in oil.** * * In the centres of industry in this fertile land, all then known trades were busi ly carried on: the husbandman pur sued his happy toil on genial soil, while by the sea, with its unrivalled beauty< its rich villages and lovely re treats, the ? .-herman plied his healthy lavocation.*' Such H sea as the central setting of stich scenery is enough to inspire en thusiastic admiration, i But the beau ty of the sea and the loveliness of the surrounding hill and dale and moun tain peak, are the minor attractions of this lovely stretch of water. The .' precious Jewels of this sea have caugh t the gaze of the world, and have brought the beholders with loving rev erence upon their knees. It is the i lustre of these jewels that is the . crowning charm, and these jewels are the footprints of Jesus along the Gal ilean shores. The central, brilliant jewel is His footprint in the middle of the sea---shining to teach us a lesson of faith-assaring us that amid the storms of life our Saviour is ever with us. .. . ^ No spot in all the world is so per fectly surrounded by the loving and miraculous works of God as this Sea . of Galilee. . On the north coast, He - fed the five thousand. On the east, He quieted the spirit of tho maniac, and restored his mind. On the south, he fed the four thousand. On the West, He healed the sick, restored sight to tibe blind, and made the lame leap aa a hart for joy. In the sea itself, He taught the thronging multi tude,' making the boat His pulpit, while the very waves felt His presence and obeyed His voice Now it is upon this hallowed sea that we behold the disciples, separated from their Master, wrestling with one of those frequent wind-storms of Gal ilee. Darkness had overtaken them; their journey was but half ended; four more miles of toil against wind and wave were before them. No doubt they longed for the presence of Jesus, no doubt they thought upon His di ' vine powers, and missed His sweet companionship. It is only natural tp suppose that such thoughts were in their minds, and that His name was upon their lips. Little did they dream tha ?, in the darkness and storm His actual presence was with them. His outline, when first seen moving along the troubled waters, startled their senses; then each one persuaded the other of the reality of the appari tion; fear then seized them that a spirit was their visitor; the supernat ural held them spell-bound. In the crises of the storm, the stroke of the oar lost ita vigor, the steersman slack ened his grip upon the helm, the wind and wares began to exercise* a mas tery over the little craft, when Jesu*i in this hour of peril, called forth, "It is I; he not afraid." Oh, the joy of that moment, to re cognize their Saviour and Friend, when life seemed lost! Oh, the joy of such an assurance that His power to save trap infinitely greater than the power of wind and wave to destroy. We cannot wonder that it is stated that "the disciples willingly received Him into fthe ship." Neither do we wonder that the waves obeyed thc Master's voice, and joyfully sped the little crew to land. In considering this wonderful scene in our Lord's life, let us find ground for courage against coming storms and tempests. By God's grace, we may even now hear his voice and see His form in some tempest that may be spending its fury upon us. First: How prone we are to Bee in the tempests of life, apparitions, when really they are manifestations of the presence of Jesus, our Lord. This is the secret of many of our anx ious and even harrassing fears and SMON . T. Capers in Grace , Anderson, 8. C., r 2, 1899. dark forebodings. The world is still irreligious enough to speak of chance and fate and luck, with reference to our destinies; yes, the world is yet too far from her God to realize that He, indeed, is the infinitely tender, j loving, jealous Father, who plans the smallest details in His children's daily life. And so it happens that in our voy age over life's sea, when restless waves threaten our very existence-in that fearful hour we see an apparition. We see, as we think, the hand of fate writing our doom-"the odds," as the world expresses it, turned against us. This apparition holds us spell-bound; there is no strength or courage within to enable us to advance; despair sei zes the heart-shipwreck is imminent. Ah, it is at this crisis that Jesus draws near! But to the discouraged, to the faithless, He only appears as a shadowy thing of dread. So fear clutches the heart; the form of Jesus is taken only as an omen of bad lack; in despair, with fate against him, many a noble soul has surrendered his life's bark to the fury of the storm, and gone down-a lost soul. Oh, had such an one listened for the voice of Jesus, the omen of fate as he took k-would have proven to be Jesus, standing by him, calling out: "Be not afraid! It is I! It is I! ready to strengthen you, uphold you, yea, to quiet the storm, to save you! Only take me into your life's craft." But, alas! here is where we need the lesson. We are disposed not to be lieve that Jesus has to do with our ev ery care and trial. We are tempted to see in our misfortunes only bad luok or chance or fate, rather than the form of Jesus. And he who sees fate or chance instead of Jesus must be filled with fear. His every stroke of the oar must be made with trepida tion-the future must be dark, with only the light and wisdom of his own genius to furnish the brightness of his life. Oh, dear friends, away with such faithlessness that cannot discern the form of Jesus in the very fiercest storm. Jesus is with us, I repeat, io our every care and trial. The eye of faith can never lose his lovely form. Let us take up these lines of Hurlburt's and make them ours: "\v> will not weep, for God ia standing by us, And tears will blind ns to the blessed aight; We will not doubt, if darkness still doth try us Onr souls hare promise of serenest light. We will not faint, it heavy burdens bind os. They press no harder than our souls can bean The thorniest way lies still behind us, We shall be braver for the past despair. Oh, not in donbt shall be our journey's ending; Sin, with its fears, shall leave us at the last: All its best hopes in glad fulfillment blending, Life shall be with us when death is past. Help ns, O Father ! when the world is pressing On onr frail hearts, that faint without their Friecd; Help ns, 0 Father! let Thy constant blessing Strengthen our weakness till the joyfni end." Ah, beloved, there is no darkness that can hide the soul from itsa Sa viour; there is no tempest so loud and fierce that can hush the voice of Je sus. He can ever be heard above the din of the storm: "It is I!" There is no power strong enough to tear us from Him. As St. Paul would put it, there is nothing that "shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." If we feel his absence it is because we fail to discern him with the eye of faith. Our sight is so imperfect that we take His presence for some . appa rition, some omen of luck or chance or fate. With the lesson cf the text before us let us learn to look for Jesus as the storms of life grow fierce and more awful. And let us feel well assured that He is with us, and therefore we cannot suffer shipwreck; for know this well: He is always master of the situ ation. It is for us to hear His voice and take Him into our life's bark. And mark me well: not until we take Him in, and also give him the helm, shall we exper'ence the calm and rest after the storm. Db we not miss much of peace in life because we will not trust the helm into Jesus' hand? There is much half-heartedness in the faith of some of us-who may see Je sus in the storm, may hear His voice -but feel unable to yield up the boat to His guidance, to sit at His feet, and despite threatening elements, to sing, "My Jesus, as Thou wilt." So that boat is ever on troubled seas-and there is no rest and peace of body and conscience and soul. My friends, believe me, we should have no storms in life, for Jesus is ever ready by His actual presence to har ness the highest waves and make them our silver-wreathed sea-chariots to bear us peacefully and joyfully 01 our Fatherland. Here, again, is a mighty assurar that the power of Jesus to save is finitely greater than the power of w and wave, in the sea of life, to < troy. There are times when the s seems threatened; when the powei the Devil and the power of temptat seems infinite. As measured w these powers, faith seems as a thr that is anchoring the soul to its G It is at this hour that the soul si in the storm, that faith seems bu dying spark. The elements aroi the soul seem too strong to permit < presence of Jesus. The powers of world seem mightier than the pow of God. Oh, at this hour, the life the soul is drowned in the tempest unbelief, unless the frail vessel is livered into the Master's hand. Behold Jesus, your King, as stills the storm and proves Himself be supreme in -power. Again, beh< Jesus, your King, as He drives Sal from before Him! Can you encoun the fear that your trials and temp tions can destroy your soul, in di ance of the infinite power of Jesus save? Away, away with such a fear! "\ have in this scene before us every fi and dread anticipated. The very e ments which threatened the destn tion of His disciples, He converts ii His willing servants. So with us life. The things with which we ha to contend, which sometimes seem threaten our soute are forces, gre forces, necessary forces, as the wi: and ocean to the craft, which can used, aye, which are to be used ai must be used to bear us on to Go Yes, the secret of life is to be foui in the picture before us. Peace com to us when Jesus is at the heh Life's sorrows and cares are as wate and winds of peace, bearing us in an eternal port. Our strengthen! eyes are no longer deluded by pha toms of luck and chance; they"beho the King in His beauty; they see tl land that is very far off," "And calm and peaceful is our sleep; Rocked in the cradle of the deep."

A well-known Chicago publishe speaking of scenes and incidents i that city in the trying days after tb big fire, said: "The great fire was thing of the recent past and the dow town portion of the city a scene of th greatest confusion. About 9 o'cloc in the evening, while on my way t my home in the west division, I wa accosted by a man of respectable ap pcarance, who asked me to give hil the price of a lodging. " 'I'm no; a beggar,' said he, 'bu I'm in hard luck. A man told mi that some Masons were in session ove this way. If I could find them, I'I be ali right.' " 'I happen to know a lodgeroom 01 Canal street, where there is a meeting to-night," said I. 'Come along, I'I take you there.' . "The place reached, I conducte< him up a long flight of stairs anc knocked at a door. " Tm not a Mason,' said I to a mai who seemed to be acting in the ca pacity of a guard, 'but I've run across one of your f eternity who seems to be in hard luck. I take it you'll bc glac to do something for him. "Congratulating myself on having done a good act, I pushed my chance acquaintance forward and retreated toward the stairway. A whispered conversation ensued, when the guard exclaimed: " 'You're not a Freemason!' " 'No.' replied my late charge, 'but I'm a stonemason out of a job.' "The roar of laughter that issued from the half open door made me wish myself a Mason. As it was, I hurried ly quitted the place." Eczema Cured by B. B. B. Sample Bottle Free.
