"Storm on the North Sea”
By FLOYD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter
O ELLO, EVERYBODY:
A 1 Put on your oil skins, boys and girls, and come
aboard. We’re off to sea in bad weather with Henry S. Cow-
den of Chicago, with the lee shore of adventure off to star
board, and a heavy gale blowing us right smack into it.
In the spring ol 1896 Hank Cowden was second mate on the tour-
masted bark Stanley of Liverpool, homeward bound from Calcutta, In
dia, with a cargo of jute and cotton for Hamburg, Germany. It was the
twenty-sixth of March, and the Stanley had passed through the English
channel and the Straits of Dover and was plowing along through the
North sea. v
It was the morning watch, and Hank was at the wheel. A
heavy mist hong over the sea, and the captain was standing at
Hank’s side gasing anxiously to starboard. To Hank, he said:
“We most be near land, mister, even though we can’t see it in
this fog. Keep a good lookout and see that the lead is used every
‘ ten minutes. If any squalls make op in the north, call me at
once. I’m going down to breakfast.”
The captain was gone, and Hank was alone at the wheel. .A squall
did come up—but it came up so suddenly that Hank didn’t even have
time to warn the captain. It caught the ship under full sail. It tore the
royals and topgallants to ribbons and blew the Stanley off its course.
With the change in the wind, the fog began to lift The captain came on
deck and ordered Hank aloft to look for land.

Hank got as far as the fore cross trees. There he could see over the
fog. and he didn't have to go any farther. To starboard were breakers,
and the ship was almost into them!

By this time the wind had risen to a gale and coils of halliards and
braces were being washed through the porta or over the side. At
nine o’clock the ship ran aground with a shock that

Christian speech and conduct may
well be studied in the book at
James, for he stresses the impor
tance of works as demonstrating
faith. There are two common er
rors—one is to attempt to be justi
fied by good works apart from faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ—the other
is to talk about believing in him
and then fail to live in accordance
with one’s profession. Some have
ssumed that James tell into the

There Hank learned that the Stanley had not been the only unlucky

Rock Cystal Is Hardest
of the Common Minerals
True rock crystal is a very pure
transparent quartz, and quartz is a
common mineral compound consist
ing of silicon and oxygen. It is a
constituent of many types of rock
and is the hardest of the common
minerals, observes a writer In the
Detroit News. The most prevalent
form is a milky white, but there are
several other colors caused by im
purities, which are considered semi
precious stones or ornamental ma
terial. The varieties used as gems
include amethyst, which is violet;
false topaz, pale yellow in tint; as
well as rose and smoky quartz. Rock
crystal is often cut into vases, balls,
statuettes and beads. The Bristol
or rhinestone diamond is rock crys

II. ChrteUaa Walk <vv 13-11).
The word ’’converasUon’’ In v. 13
Is an English word which now
means “talk” but which formerly
meant “manner of living.”
1. Words and works must agree
(vv. 13,14). It to only right that
those who speak of following Christ
should prove it in their manner of
living. Talk may be smooth and
broad In its claims, but the demon
stration of its reality and honesty is
In the daily walk. This calls for
wisdom which is divine—earthly wis
dom will not suffice.
2. Earthly wisdom is false (vv.
15.16). There is a wisdom apart
from God. Men of the world are
brilliant and able, but scrutinize
their wisdom and you will find that
it is "sensual”—that is, of the
senses—or natural as distinguished
from spiritual. All too often it is
downright “devilish" (v. 16).
3. True wisdom is from above (w.
17.18). Undeflled, unselfish, uncom
promising, but not quarrelsome or
stubborn, impartial and sincere—
and "full of mercy and good fruits”
—such is God’s wisdom for the
Christian’s life.
