Washington, June 10.—Dr. Tahnagc,
who is now in Europe preaching to im-
mense congregations in the great cities,
bends this sermon, in which lie de
scribes the rough places of life and in
dicates the* best menus of getting over
them and shows how many people fail
to understand their best blessings; text,
Mark iv, R0, "And lie arose and rebuk
ed the wind and said unto the sea.
Peace, be still.”
Here in Capernaum, tbe seashore vil
lage, was the temporary home of that
Chi 1st who for the most of his life was
homeless. On the site of this village,
now in ruins, and all around this lake
what scenes of kindness and power
and glory and pathos when our Lord
lived here! I can understand the feel
ing of the Immortal Scotchman, Hobort
McCheyne, when, sitting on'tlie banks
of this lake, he wrote:
It Is not that the wild pazrlle
Conies down to drink thy tide.
But he that was pierced to save from hell
Oft wandered by thy side.
Graceful around thee the mountains meet,
Thou calm, reposing sea.
But, ah, far more the beautiful feet
Of Jesus walked o’er thee.
I can easily understand from the con
tour of the country that bounds this
lake that storms were easily • tempted
to make these waters their playground.
This lake, in Christ's time, lay in ti
scene of great luxuriance; the sur
rounding hills, terraced, sloped, groved;
so many hanging gardens of beauty.
On the shore were castles, armed tow
ers, Uoman baths, everything attract
ive and beautiful—all styles of vegeta
tion in smaller space than in almost
any other space in the world, from the
palm tree of the forest to the trees of
rigorous climate. It seemed as if the
Lord hail launched one wave of beauty
on all the scene and it hung and swung
from rock and hill ami oleander. Ro
man gentlemen in pleasure boats sail
ing tills hike and countrymen in fishing
smacks coming down to drop their nets
pasft each other with nod and shout
and laughter or swinging idly tit their
mborings. Oh, wiiat a beautiful scene!
(TilnitnK the Toni pout.
It seems as if we shall have a quiet
night. Not a leaf quivered in the air,
not a ripple disturbed the face of Oen-
nesaret. Rut there seems to be a little
excitement up the beach, and wo lias-
ten to see what it is, and we find it an
embarkation. From the western shore
a llotilla pushing out; not a squadron
of deadly armament, nor clipper with
valuable merchandise, nor piratic ves
sels ready to destroy everything they
could seize, but a llotilla, bearing mes
sengers of light and lift 1 and peace.
Christ is in the stern of the boat. Ilis
disciples are in the bow and amidships.
Jesus, weary with much speaking to
large multitudes, is put into somno
lence by the rocking of the waves. If
there was any motion at all, the ship
was easily righted; if the wind pass' d
from starboard to larboard, or fa m
larboard to starboard, the boat would
rock and, by the gentleness of the mo
tion, putting the Master asleep. And
they extemporized a pillow made out
of a fisherman’s coat. I think no soon
er is Christ prostrate and his head
touched the pillow titan he is sound
asleep. The breezes of the lake run
their fingers through the locks of the
worn sleeper, and the boat rises and
fails like a sleeping child on the bosom
of a sleeping mother.
Calm night, starry night, beautiful
night! Run up all the sails, ply till the
oars, and let the large boat and the
small boat glide over gentle Gennesa-
ret. Rut the sailors say there is going
to be a change of weather. And even
the passengers can hear the moaning
of the storm ns it comes on with great
stride and all the* terrors of hurricane
and darkness. The large boat trembles
like a deer at bay among the clangor of
the hounds; great patches of foam tire
flung into the air; the stills of the ves
sel loosen ami in the strong wind crack
like pistols; the smaller boats, like pet
rels, poise on the cliffs of the waves
and thou plunge. Overboard go cargo,
tackling and masts, and the drenched
disciples rush into the back part of the
boat and lay hold of Christ and say
unto him, “Master, earest thou not that
we perish?” That great personage lifts
his head from the pillow of the fisher
man’s coat, walks to the 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 drowning men. Ry
the Hash of the lightning I see the calm
brow of Christ as the spray dropped
from his beard. He has one word for
the sky and another for the waves.
Looking upward, he cries, “I’cace!”
Looking downw ard, he 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 stands with Ids foot on
the neck of the storm. And while the
sailors are baling out tbe boats and
while they are trying to untangle the
cordage the disciples stand in amaze
ment, now looking into the calm sea,
then into the calm sky, 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
Id mV”
Chrlnt In the* Ship.
The subject, In the first place, im-
presBcs me with the fact that it is very
important to have Christ in the ship;
for all those heats would have gone to
the bottom of Ccnnesnret if Christ had
not been present. Oh, what a lesson
for you and for me to learn! Whatev
er voyage we undertake, into whatever
enterprise we start, let us always have
Christ In the ship. All you can do with
utmost tension of body, mind and soul
you are bound to do; but, oh, have
Christ in every enterprise!
There are men who ask God’s help at
the beginning of great cntcrprlf < s. lie
lias been with them In the past; no
trouble can overthrow' them; the storms
might come down from the top of
Mount Hcrtnou and l.rh Gcnncsaret
into foam and into agony, hut It could
not hurt them. Rut hero is another
man who starts nut In worldly enter
prise, and lie depends upon the mw-ci'-
taiullcs of this life. He has no God to
liolp him. After awhile the storm
comes, tosses off the masts of the ship;
he puts out itis lifeboat and the long
boat; the sheriff and the auctioneer try
to help him off; they can’t help him off;
he must go down; no Chi ist in the ship.
Your life will he made up of sunshine
ami shadows. There may be in it arctic
blasts or tropical tornadoes; I know
not what is before you, but I know If
you have Christ with you till shall bo
well. You may seem to got along
without the religion of Christ while
everything goes smoothly, but after
awhile, when sorrow hovers over the
soul, when the waves of trial dash
clear over the hurricane deck and the
decks are crowded with piratical disas
ters—oh, what would you do then
without Christ In (lie ship? Take God
for your portion, God for your guide,
God for your help; then all is well; all
is well for a time; all shall lie well for
ever. Blessed is that man who puts in
the Lord, ids trust. He shall never bo
confounded.
Rough Sailing.
But my subject also Impresses me
with the fact that when people start to
follow Christ they must not expect
smootii sailing. These disciples got in
to the small boats, and I have no doubt
they said: “What a beautiful day this
is! How delightful is sailing 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
delightful.” But when the winds
swept down and the sea was tossed in
to wrath, then they found that follow
ing Christ was not smooth sailing. So
you have found it; so I have found it.
Did you ever notice the end of the
life ef the apostles of Jesus Christ?
You would say if ever men ought to
have had a smooth life, a smooth de
parture, then those men, the disciples
of Jesus Christ, ought to have had such
n departure and such a life. St. James
lost Ids head. St. Philip was hung to
death on a pilkir. St. Matthew had his
life dashed out with a halberd. St.
Mark was dragged to death through
the streets. St. James the Less was
beaten to deatli witli a fuller’s club.
St. Thomas was struck through with a
spear. They did not lind following
Christ smooth sailing. Oh, how they
were till tossed in the tempest! John
liuss in a lire; Hugh McKall In the
hour of martyrdom; the Albigenses,
the Waldenses, the Scotch Covenanters
- did they find it smooth stiiling? But
why go into history when we can draw’
from our own memory illustrations of
tiie truth of what I say? A young man
in a store trying to serve God, while
his employer scoffs at Christianity; tin?
young men in the same store, antago
nistic to the Christian religion, teasing
him, tormenting him nbout his religion,
trying to get him mad. They succeed
in getting him mad and say. “You're a
pretty Christian!” Does that young
man find it smootii sailing when he
tries to follow Christ? Or you remem
ber a Christian girl. Her father de
spises the Christian religion; her mol It
er despises the Christian religion; her
brothers and sisters scoff at the Chris
tian religion; she can hardly find a
(juiet place in which to say her pray
ers. Rid she lind it smooth sailing
when she tried to follow Jesus Christ?
Oh, no! All who would live the lift: of
the Christian religion must suffer per
secution. If you do not find it in one
way, you will get it in another way.
But be not disheartened! Take cour
age. You tire in a glorious companion
ship. God will see you through all
trials, and he will deliver you.
No Crunk I’or I’eur.
My subject also impresses me with
the fact that good people sometimes
get frightened, in the tones of these
disciples ns they rushed into the back
part of the boat I lind they are fright-
ein d almost to death. They say, “Mas
ter, earest thou not that we perish?”
They had no reason to lie frightened,
for Christ was in the boat. I suppose
if we hi»'’ been there we would have
been ju s much affrighted. Perhaps
more, i (11 ages very good people get
very much affrighted. It is often so in
our day, and men say: “Why, look at
the bad lectures. Look at the various
errors going over the church of God.
We arc going to founder. The church
Is going to perish. Hite Is going down.”
Oh, how many good people are af
frighted by iniquity in our day and
think the church of Jesus Christ is go
ing to be overthrown and are Just ns
much affrighted as were the disciples
of my text! Don’t worry, don’t fret, as
though iniquity were going to triumph
over righteousness. A lion goes into a
cavern to sleep. He lies down with Itis
shaggy mane covering the paw s. Mean
while the spiders spin a web across^the
mouth of the cavern and say, “We
have captured him.” Gossamer thread
after gossamer thread until the whole
front of the cavern is covered with the
spider’s wel), and the spiders say,
“The lion is done; the lion is fast.”
After awhile the lion lias got through
sleeping. He rouses himself, he shakes
his mane, he walks out into the sun
light. He does not even know the
spider’s web is spun, and with ids roar
he shakes the mountain. So men come
spinning their sophistries and skepti
cism about Jesus Christ. He seems to
be sleeping. They say: “We have cap
tured the Lord. He will never come
forth again upon the nation. Christ Is
overcome forever. His religion will
never make any conquest among men.”
But after awhile the Lion of the tribe
of Judah w ill rouse himself and come
forth to shake mightily the nations.
What's a spider’s web to the aroused
lion? Give truth and error a fair grap
ple, and truth will come off victor.
GinK'N I'roin Heaven.
But there are a great many good
people who get affrighted in other re
spects. They are affrighted about re
vivals. They say: “Oh, this is a strong
religious gale! We are afraid the
church of God Is going to lie upset and
there are going to be a great many
people brought into the ehtireh that are
going to be of no use to it.” And they
are affrighted whenever they see a re
vival taking hold of the churches. As
though a ship captain, with AbOO bush
els of wheat for a cargo, should say
some day, coming upon deck, “Throw’
overboard ail the cargo!” and the sail
ors should say: "Why, captain, what
do you mean? Throw over all the car
go?” “Oh,” says tlie eaptain, “we have
a peek of chaff that has got Into this
5,000 bushels of wheat, myl the only
way to get riil of the chaff is to throw
all the wheat overboard!” Now, that
is a great deal wiser than the tall: of
many Christians who want to throw
overboard nil the thousands and tens
of thousands of souls who tire the sub
jects of revivals. Throw all overboard
because they are brought Into the
kingdom of God through great revivals,
licettuse there is a peek of chaff, a
quart of chaff, a pint of chaff! I say, |
let them stay until the Inst day. The
Lord will divide the chaff from the
wheat.
Do not be afraid of a great revival.
Oh, that such gales from heaven might
sweep through ail our churches! Oh,
for such days as Richard Baxter saw
in England and Robert McCheyne saw
In Dundee! Oh, for such days as Jona
than Edwards saw in Northampton! I
have often heard my father tell of the
fact that in the early part of this cen
tury there broke out a revival at Som
erville, X. J., and some people were
very much agitated about it. They
said, “You are going to bring too many
people into the church tit 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
pulpit on the Lord’s day and looked
over the solemn auditory, and he said:
“This, brethren, is in reality the work
of God. Beware how you stop it.”
And lie was an chi man, leaning heavi
ly on itis staff—a very old man. And
he lifted that staff and took hold of the
small end of the staff and began to let
it fall slowly through between the Hu
ger and the thumb, and he said: “Oh,
thou impenitent, thou art falling now-
falling from life, falling away from
peace and heaven, falling as certainly
as that cane is falling through my
hand falling certainly, though per
haps falling slowly!" And the cane
kept on falling through John Living
ston's hand. The religious emotion in
the audit Ree was overpowering, anti
men saw a type of their doom as the
cane kept falling and falling, until the
knob of the cane struck Mr. Living
ston’s hand, anti be clasped it stoutly
and said, “But the grace of God can
stop you as I stopped that cane," anti
then there was gladness till through
tiie house at the filet of pardon and
peace and slvation. “Well,” said the
people after tiie service, “I guess you
had better semi Livingston home. lie
is making the revival worse.” Oh, for
gales from heaven to sweep all the
continents! Tin* danger of the church
of God is not in revivals.
One and the Same.
Again, my subject impressed me with
tin: fact that Jesus was Got! and man
in the same being. Here he is in tiie
back part of tbe boat. Ob, how tireif
he looks! What sad dreams he must
•have! Look at his countenance; lie
must lie thinking of the cross to come.
Look at him; he is a man- bone of our
bone, flesh of our flesh. Tired, he falls
asleep; he is a man. But then I itnd
Christ tit the prow’ of the boat; I hear
him say, “1’eaee, be still,” and I see
the storm kneeling at Ids feet and tiie
tempests folding tin ir wings in his
presence; lie i,s a God. If I have sor
row’ and trouble and want sympathy, I
go and kneel down at the back part of
tiie boat and say: “O Christ, weary
One of Gennesaret, sympathize with
all my sorrow! Man of Nazareth! Man
of the Cross!” A Man, a Man! But if
1 wtiut to conquer my spiritual foes, if
l want to get the victory over sin,
death and hell, I come to the front of
the boat, and I kneel down, and I say,
“O Lord Jesus Christ, thou who didst
hush the tempest, hush all my grief,
hush till my temptation, hush all my
sin!”
I learn once more from this subject
that Christ can hush a ten pest. It did
seem as if everything must go to ruin.
The disciples had given up tiie Idea of
managing the ship; the crew were en
tirely demoralized; yet Christ rises,
and the storm crouches tit ids feet. Oh,
yes, Christ can hush the tempest! You
have had trouble. IVrhaps it was the
little child taken away from you—the
sweetest child of the household, the
one wlto asked the most curious ques
tions and stood around you with the
greatest fondness, and the spade cut
down through your bleeding heart.
Perhaps it was an only sou, and your
heart inis even since been like a deso
lated castle; tiie ow Is of the night hoot
ing among tiie fallen arches and the
grumbling stairways. Or till your prop
erty swept away, you said: “I had so
■uuch hank stock; I had so many gov
ernment securities; I had so many
houses; 1 had so many farms all gone,
all gone.” Why, sir, all the storins
that ever trampled with their thunders,
till the shipwrecks, have not been
worse than this to you. Yet you have
not been completely overthrown. Why?
Christ says: “I have that little one In
my keeping. 1 can wire for him as well
ns you can, hotter than you can, O be
reaved mother!” Hushing the tem
pest. When your property went away,
God said, “There are treasures in heav
en in banks that never break.” Jesus
hushing the tempest.
There is one storm into which we
will all have to run. The moment
when we let go of this world and try to
take hold of the next we will want all
tiie grace possible. Y’ondcr I see a
Christian soul rocking on tiie surges of
death. All the powers of darkness
seem let out against that soul—the
swirling wave, the thunder of the sky,
the shriek of the wind, all seem to
unite together. But that soul is not
l troubled. There is no sighing, there
| are no tears; plenty of tears In the
| room at the departure, but lie weeps no
tears calm, satisfied and peaceful; all
is well. By the flash of the storm you
see the harbor Just ahead, and you are
making for that harbor. All shall be
Well, Jesus being our pilot.

GENEROUS MUNKACSY.
The Great Painter Played Fairy
Godmother to a PennlleMN Student.
Miiukaesy, the renowned artist, had
many ways of making people happy.
He not only loved art in picture mak
ing, but he loved it in its musical
mood, and today there is no one who
will more sincerely mourn itis loss than
one young woman, now rising in mu
sical circles in Baris and to whom
Munkaesy played the part of fairy
godmother.
Some eight years ago tin's girl lived
in tin obscure village in Hungary, Mun-
kaesy’s native land. So fervently had
site longed to study music that at last
her father decided to invest his hard
earned savings in giving itis daughter
ti musical education. She must go to
Baris and there take lessons of Mine.
Marches!. That it required a small
fortune to do this did not occur to the
simple girl. Site accepted her father’s
money and went to the city of song.
Here she reveled for one month in
the instruction of that tainous t< tcher
and then, to iter horror, found that her
father’s fortune would last only about
four months in this city of her aspira
tions. Site was engulfed in despair
and only too thankfully accepted an in
vitation to play one evening at a musi-
eale given by madtime in her own home.
Here it was that she met and sang for
Munkaesy; here it was that he recog
nized her talent and deftly drew from
her tiie story of her desires and disap
pointments.
As she departed site received an en
velope containing tiie amount due for
her putt in the evening's entertain
ment. Fancy her amazement when site
found that it was sufficient to carry
her through tiie coveted year in Baris!

Tlte PaMfltneH of FiKhty-tliree.
Gnptjiin Je!.;i (’odmtm, who died re
cently at the ago of S<>, was a promi
nent member of tiie New York Reform
and tin' Twilight clubs and was one of
the best known writers upon industrial
'subjec ts in the country. He retained
his strength and vigor to a remarkable
degree, and when he was 7d years old
lit* was accustomed to ride on horse
back between New York and Boston
solely for tin: exercise. Innumerable
stories are told of his vigor. Two or
three years ago he was seen walking
briskly down town in New York one of
the bitterest days of winter. Tin: ther
mometer was down to zero, and tlte
wind was blowing a gale.
“Bretty cold, Isn’t it?” remarked a
friend who met him.

Wheo Sam Joiicn In ti Preacher.
The Rev. Dr. Frank Bristol, pastor of
the Metropolitan church in Washing
ton, which is attended by Bresident
McKinley, tells a story which he heard
one evening while dining at the White
House with tiie president and Bishop
Candler of the Methodist Church
South. The party was talking about
revivalists and revivals, and the ease
of the well known exhorter Sam Jones
was brought up.
“’J he best characterization of Sam
Jones’ preaching i ever heard,” said
tiie bishop, “was that of a good colored
brother in Virginia, lie hud just heard
Jones preach and was describing it to
some of his fellow s.
“ Mist as long as Rre’r Jones sticks to
do Keripters,’ said tlte colored man, ‘he
ain’t no better preacher than cuy uv de
l ist uv us, but when lie cuts loose frum
de Keripters an jist h'ls 'er sail den lie’s
0c doggondest preacher ciat ever pound
ed a pulpit!' ”

Several days ago the manager and
editor in chiel’ of the Armenian news
paper Tzaghik of Constantinople had
an idea, perhaps whimsical, but in any
ease very innocent. To attract the at
tention of the readers and purchasers
they printed the title of their paper in
red. the seme as in Baris a paper prints
fts title in blue. This made strange
trouble in tiie Turkish police. To
print the title of a paper in ml was de
structive, the indication of subversive
ideas, and was perhaps the announce
ment of a near revolution. The publi
cation of tin* paper was immediately
suppressed, and the manager and edi
tor were thrown into prison.—Cincin
nati Enquirer.
Men Vt’liu Can Kick.
A bronze statue of Bjornstjorno
Bjornson stands before tiie National
theater in Christiania. On Bjornson’s
return to the theater after an absence
of .”0 years to direct tin: rehearsals of
his new play he wrote demanding the
removal of his statue, as he deems it a
permanent slander. Here seems to lie
another warning against statues to the
living. They can kick.—Boston Her
