A little while after his conversion
he was ON ship off Cape Hatteras in a
thick and prolonged fog, and they
were at their wits ends and knew not
what to do, the ship drifting about
hither and thither, and they lost their
hearings; and the converted sea cap
tain went TO his room and asked God
for the salvation of the ship, and God
revealed it to him while he was on his
knees that att certain hour. only a lit
tie way of, the fog would lift; and the
converted sea captain came Out on the
deck and told how God heard his

mentioning the hour. A man who
stood there laughed aloud in derision
at the idea that God would answer
prayer; but at just the hour when
God had assured the captain the fog
would lift there came a flash of light
ming through the fog, and the man
who had jeered and laughed was
stunned and fell TO the deck. The
fog lifted. Yonder was Cape Hatteras
lighthouse. The ship was lut ON the
right course, and sailed ON 10 the har-
Dor of safety.
When in seaport the captain spends
most of his time in evangelical work.
He kneels down by one who has been
helpless in the bed for many months,
and the next day she walks forth in
the streets well. He kneels beside one
who has long been decIepit and here
signs the .crutches. Ee kneels beside
beside one who had rot seen enough
TO be able To read for ten years. and
she reads the Bible that day. Con-

testimony from men and women who
have been cured. You may call il
faith cure, or you may call it the
power of God coming down in answer
to prayer; / donot care what you call
it it is a fact. The scoffing sea cap
tain, his heart full of hatred for Chris
tianity. now becomes a follower of the
meek and lowly Jesus, giving all the
time TO evangelical labors, or all the
time he can spare from other occupa-
tons. That is regeneration; that is
regeneration. Man all made over
again.
There is your absurd doctrine Of
vicarious sacrifice" say these men
who have chewed up the little book
al creeds and have the consequent en-
Uttered stomach. "Vicarious sacri-
feel Let every man suffer for him
self. Why do i want Christ TO suffer
Tor met Ill suffer for myself and
carry my own burdens" They scott
It the idea of vicarious sacrifice, while
they admire it everywhere else except
IN Christ. People see its beauty when
q mother suffers for her child. Peo-
PIE see IFS beauty when a patriot suf-
}er for his country. People see its
beauty when a man denies himself for
afriend. They can see the beauty Of
virarious sacrifice in every one but
Christ.
A young lady in one of the literary
institutions was a teacher. She was
very reticent and retired in het habits,
and she formed no companionships in
The new position she occupied, and her
aFess was very plain-sometimes il
was very shabby. After a while she
Vas discharged from the place for that
reason, but no reason was gwen. In
answer to the letter ~disciIarging her
from the position, she said: We'll, i'll
have failed TO please, | suppose il is my
own fault" She went here and there
for employment, and found none ,andin
desperation and in dementia sheended
her life by suicide. Investigation was
nade and il was found that out of her
mail mean she had supported her
FATHER, eighty years of age, and was
laying the way for her brother in
Yale college on his way to the minis
ny. II was found that she had no
hanket on the bed that winter, and
abe had no fire on the very coolest
day Of all the season. People found

mig at the funeral, the largest ever at
any funeral in that place, and
Ghe very people who had scoffed came
and looked upon the pale face Of the
martyr, and all honor was done her;
bat il was too late. Vicarious sacri-
ace. All are thrilled with such in
stances as that. But many are not
moved by the fact that Christ paid
his poverty for our riches, his self abb
legation for our enhancement, and
knelt on the sharp edges Of humilia-
ton that we might climb yer his
lacerated shoulder into peace and
heaven.
