event is the imperishabiliiy of heroic Ac-
tiOn. If neglect Of men, bring this large
number Of our fellows into danger, II
presents an opportunity for them to man
ifest the nOblest qualities of their nature.
The same occasion that brings out the bad
in many Of the passengers and crew, is
the means Of rendering others rcnoWn for
their self-denying labors, The fidelity
of husband and wife, each choosing to go
down with, rather then be separated from
the other; mothers, daughters and sisters.
cliugiug to each o'her and sharing ose
commen fate, are beautiful exam Piles Of
friendship and cOnstancy. They are
worth more to the world than all its na-
viss and steamships together. These no.
bic deeds will not be lost.
Another Atlantic may be built to take
the place of the one that is wrecked.
Other events may occupy the place, which
this has in the public mind; the lessons
Of responsibility, dependence and uneer-
taiuty which this calamity enforces, be
uBapplied Of men; the names Of the Off.
GERS Of this ill-sated vessel-the cause
that led to its destruction, and the suffer-
ings that came with it, be forgotten; but
the kindness of the men that riskcd their
lives to save the boy, the bravery of
the passenger who helped others up the
slippery rocks till his hands were numb,
aud then assisted with his teeth, the min
istrics of the fisherman and his daughter.
and the neroism of the man of God, who
rescued the last victim from the rock
when all others had given him up these
acts and Others like them will have
grateful place in history, until the perils
Of the ocean shall be over and the sea
gives up its dead.
VIl.--Do we not find in these circum.
stances reason to remember our own un-
certainty of life. 1t seems to me as l
think them over. that Of the representa-
lions of life which VIC arc accustomed to use,
the best is the comparison of it to the sea,
| aaoiing ike a mirror the scene from its
deep blue surface by the midnight, it
may be black and angry with storm and
danger. As VIC leek out upon its quiet
surface, it seems as though we could walk
upon it; we sink with Peter in the trial.
Thus life.-It has, promise now, it may be
danger when We look the next time for
the promise Our walk on earth is like
passage over the sea, beneath which a
thousand accidents may bury us.
OF the prospects for the future, that
will attend us, when VIC shall sink below
its waves, no human being can better
Judge than we, if honest with ourselves.
How is it, brother, friend ? rest my
hopes of safety on Him only, who spoke
peace to the troubled sea of Galilee
What happiness and rest Of heart have,
come from my trust and fellowship with
Him. The rest, the peace ard the hope
that the Gospel Offers have you these
Here is the Christ-we the mariners
before and around us are the pillows
have we the Pilot that can guide us
home, in our hearts?
~ With what eagerness and anxiety were
the lists of the '.lost" and e'saved" o.
this wrecked steamship sought, by those
who had friends on board Hsw CRATE
fully did they catch at any tidip gs o
their loved ones from the lips of others
Let your minds find out the analogy
Thought, better than words can do it.
! There is another list preparing. 1t i.
the Book Of Life. Let us be earnest anc
anxious about this question. Are oul
names recorded there Is my name
there written?
