"Ay, ay, sir" said the old second
mate, as he stamped on deck.
heard him stop at the after
hatch, where the boat-steerers and
the carpenter lived, and he called
ont "Chips" two or three times.
At last there was an snswer, in
another voice-not Chips; then a
sound of hurried feet on deck, a
shout down the forecastle, and a
shout back in answer. "There
was no Chips there"
Two minutes after heavy foot
came aft to the cabin stairs, and
Mr.. Joseph, with white face, en-
tered.
| knew what he had to tell. /
knew now-just as if | had seen
all-who the man was whom | had
seen leaning against the line
The captain looked at the second
mate.
"Chips has gone, sir" said the
old sailor, with a tremor in his
voice "Chip was knocked over by
the line, and we've gone four knots
since it parted. I've put her about
and we are running down again.
There was dead silence. We
all knew the search was hopeless.
No man could swim in such a sea ;
and we had a thought, though no
one spoke it, that brave strong
Chips had been killed by the line
before he struck the water.
All night we beat about the
place where we thought it had &C.
cured, the wind and seas fell, the
moon came out in great beauty to
help our sad search. Every man
on board staid on deck till the sun
rose, and then we looked far and
vainiy over the needless swell of
unbroken sea. Chips was dead.
The rough Portuguese lads found
it hard to believe that the kind
heart and strong hand of their
friend was gone forever. We all
knew that the best man on the ship
was taken away.
Two years afterwards, when l
found myself in Boston, took from
my sacred things letter, which l
had found in Chips chest. 1t was
addressed to a woman, with the
name and number of Cambridge
street. l found the place-a small
frame house, with q lot of Chips
handiwork about it. His mother
met me at the door, an old, white
haired woman. She seemed to
have been watching and waiting
for somebody. A few words told
the hopeless story. The letter was
for her, and she read it over-the
letter of her only boy, asking for
giveness for his one great and only
disobedience-and, as she read, the
white heal bent lower and lower
till it met the thin white hands /;
and / turned and left the little
room I had darkened-with all its
ornaments worthless now-an6 as
l walked toward Boston, / could
not help thinking that Gods ways
are often wofully far from being
our ways.

We saw the harpooner of each
boat stand up as they came within
hearing distance, and send in his
two irons. All the boats were fast
before the monster seemed to feel
the first blow. Then came the fight,
the cruel and unnatural fight be-
tween vast power and cunning
skill. The black water was churn-
ed white as the flukes struck out
in rage and agony. The sun dis
appeared, and the gale screamed
wilder in the rigging. We could
no longer see the boats from the
ship. The few men on board clew-
ed the light sail, and took a reef
in the topsails; and by this time
the night was dark as pitch, and
the gale bad whipped aud howled
itself into q hurricane.
1t was fearful to think OF the
four small boats out in such o sea

CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
am rejoced to witness many evidences OF the
revival of religion among US. The Church has been
TOO sluggish, and the people out of the Church have
been too indifferent to their welfare and II is well
that this sluggshness and indifference should be broken
up That Christ should be made the central figure In
this effort sinners another hopeful feature
the present revival, for He Is the sway, the truth
and the lfe;" but II appears to that TO make
good, practical Christians they should have more
definite idea OF the office OF Chrst's than that
He assumes all our liabilities and frees us from all
responsibilities for conduct by the simple
act part Of asking Him to do so.
To be saved by Christ is to be thoroughly
imbued and strengthened with His loving spirit
as to enable US to the temptations
that surround John assures that ''every
that oveth Is born OF God and knoweth God /" and
he that loveth not knoweh not God, for God is love- "
Here. then, Is the salvation by Christ God is love.
Christ in His life and death Is the revelation of that
love to man--is love persopihed. When hearts
filed with love to God and fellow then Christ
reigns In our hearts and we are saved bv Him. And
that loving influence may be SO used To draw other
hearts within its charmed circle diusing its life and
cheerful spirit OF peace and harmony and
good will toward each other Will
all afford on on, earth ioretaste ste Of heaven.
OF future hell, Is but miserable incentive to seek
Christ but to seek heaven here and now, that may
enjoy that wealth of love which lifts above the
suality OF merely animal nature is effort worthy
of the exalted faculties which place plane
much above the level of the brute To loan on Christ
is not to attempt to heap His shoulders the load OF
daily transgressions but to depend His spirit
cleanse us from sinful thoughts and sinful DESIRES and
bring all the appetites and passions OF into
sympathetic harmony with His own loving nature
If as John assures US, God is love; and IT, as Christ
u.s. God dwels In heaven then II follows that
wherever love is there IS heaven, for God is love- Ii
love is In hearts heaven Is there. II in homes
heaven is there. And II heaven is love the want OF IL
is hel and the further from love the deeper
in hell down to the lowest from which David
was delivered To trust TO any other salvation by
Christ than the saving influence Of His loving spirit
hearts is to far short OF the true ideal;
and IL that salvation will be worth having IL is
worth having here and great freshet Is better
than water, although great freshets often cause
great mischief but what we all most need Is per-
petual flow into thirsty souls OF that living water
which springs up into everlasting life. Oh.

people OF this city get very little return H. for the

be very well dispensed with and the money devoted 70

The present location OF the reception hospital" ia
bad not alone a sanitary point OF view, but also in
regard to the convenience Of patients. The reeeplon
house should be constructed at point above Forty
second street, which s nearly opposite tho Smallpox
Hospital on blackwels Island. building should be
erected at this point as resting place for patients
awaiting transfer to The Island Then small steam
launch, provided with two three BEDS making trip
whenever q arrived would be sufficient for all pur-
poses. In this way large number OF would
never be collected together, except, perhaps during
extra boats could be used. Patients then taken from
their homes could reach the hospital on the Island
within one hour from their removal escaping the evil
effects OF second journey often In the height or their
disease. Tho cost Of this plan would be rihng COM
pared with the vast amount OF suffering and danger
those unfortunate people laborng under contagious
disease have now to undergo IL such a plan ls not
adopted by our health officials then It becomes Sc
rious question whether the relatives OF q sick
person are not justified in forcibly resisting
the removal Of the patient by the Board of
cias OF this department 10 from their houses
people suffering under contagious disease--tll the
Board Of Health Is at least morally Obliged 10 give .
patient the same chance Of recovery and life that he
would have If left in his own house, and this they
not do under the present system
II some such plan Is not adopted 10 would be much
better TO establish the smallpox and fever hospitals in
TINS city In every large community, all over The
world such cases treated in special hospitals with

constructed and removed certain distance from occu.

DC no possible danger to the public health from
ths source aud II we consider the immense advantage
such hospitals would the unfortunate poor Of th
city, VINO are the principal applicants for treatment
and relief from contagious diseases, that sucA
change is NJ least worthy OF careful consideration.
This question that the Board OF Health should I'm.
mediateiy look into. The people not entirely
ignorant OF the way In which the present system
works and IL Is careless and good enough for the
poor' systems of treating such questions that have
brought so much discredit and shame on the Health
Department and its management

A SINGULAR OMISSION.

Il IS not generally known that the articles Of religion
OF the Protestant Episcopal Church do not contain
word repentance But such is the fact Baptismal
regeneration has OF course superseded the necessity
for the experience and for any reference IT, in the
Church creed This fact made more potent than
usual few days ago, when Mr.. Moody, preaching TO
Of his own audiences on repentance remarked that
II was subject very much misunderstood by the
OF people. But In looking among the creeds of the
denominations for a definition OF the word he found
which perfectly satisfied him II is the best dedn
ton, he declared that he found on the subject
outside Of the Bible Mr. Moody then read publicly the
following article from the Reformed Episcopal Church
Prayer Book
ARTICLE L-oP REPENTANCE
The repentance required by change OF mind
toward God and Is the effect Of the conviction Of SIN wrought
by the Holy Ghost.
The may have a or remorse, Of
shame and selireproach and yet he may have neither

he Christ his saviour then he manest change
Of mind and Is In possession OF unto life The
sinner comes to Christ through abored process Of repent

TALMAGE SEVERE ON BEECHER.

To EDITOR THE HERALD
In the discussion OF the Bible in the schools question
it Is well known that Or. Talmage and Mr.. Beechs
take opposite sides Both Of note notoreiy
in Brooklyn and It has been supposed up to this time
that they at least passaby good friends But l
find this Dr. Talmages last Sabbath sermon on ths
schools, which, it to me, is rather Mr.
Beecner, and gives for Mr. Talmages inside opin
ion OF Mr.. Beechers morality. II is bad enough 10 b
cassed with atheists and inhdels because Becche
differs with Tamage, but to be told ia the same sen
that only OF loose morals and loose religoa
object the reading OF the Bible the schools is too
bad. Here the item clip II from morning
paper:-.They only atheists and men of loose reg
and loose morality who object to the reading Of thu
Bible In the schools"

guilty OF immoralites charged against him by Titon
and Moulton, and very broadly intimated by Mrs
Moulton and Mr.. WestY QUl vIvE.

CHRISTIAN UNION AND REvIvA
