The night was long. At last we saw the
dawn looking through the portfolios. AS in
the olden time, IN the fourth watch OF the
night, Jesus came walking on the sea, from
wave cliff 70 wave olid, and when be puis
his foot upon bilow, though II may be
tossed up with might, it goes down. lie cried
10 the winds, hushl They knew his voice.
| The waves knew his foot. They died away
And in the shining track Of his feet ] read
these letters On scrolls Of foam and fire, The
earth shall DO filed with the knowledge Of
| God as the waters cover the sea" The ocean
calmed. The path OF the steamer became
more and more mild until, on the last morn
ing out, the sun threw about Us glory such
| as ! never witnessed before. God made a
pavement Of mosaic, reaching from horizon
TO horizon, for ali the splendors Of earth and
| heaven 10 walk upon-a pavement bright
| enough for the foot Of a seraph-bright
enough for the wheels Of the archangels
chariot AS parent embraces a child, and
kisses away its grief, so over that sea, that
had been writhing in agony in the tempest,
the morning threw It's arms of beauty and Of
benediction; and the lips Of earth and heaven
met.
As came on deck-it was very early, and
we were nearing the shore-I saw few sails
against the sky. They seemed like the spirits
Of the night walking the biliows ! leaned
over the taffrail of the vessel, and said: Thy
way, o God, is in the sea, and Thy path IN the
great waters"
1t grew lighter. The clouds were hung in
| purple clusters along the sky; and, as If those
purple clusters were pressed into red wineand
| poured out upon the sea, every wave turned
into crimson. Yonder, fre-cleft stood oppo-
site to fre-cleft; and here, a cloud. rent and
| tinged with light, seemed ike palace, with
| flames bursting from the windows The
whole scene lighted up, until it seemed as II
| the angels of God were ascending and de-
scending upon stairs Of fire, and the wave
crests, changed into jasper, and crystal, and
amethyst. as they were flung toward the
| beach made me think Of the crowns Of
heaven cast before the throne Of the great
| Jehovah. ! leaned over the taffral again,
and said with more emotion than before:
"Thy way, q God, Is In the sea, and Thy path
in the great watersl'
| SO, l thought, viii be the going OF Of the
storm and night Of the Christians life. The
darkness will fold its tents and away The
! golden feet OF ths rising morn will come
/ skipping upon the mountains, and all the
/ wrathful blllows Of the worlds woe break
/ into the splcndor Of eternal Joy And 50 we
! came into the harbor The cyclone behind

WAYS good, all around usl And II the roll Of

! seven hundred souls would have answered %
( their names And so il came 10 pass that
we all scGped safe 10 land" " And may God
! grant that. when all our Sabbaths on earth
are ended, we may find that, through the
/ rich mercy Of our Lord Jesus Christ, we oil
/ have weathered the gale.
Into the hsrbor of heaven now we glide,
Home a. last.
Softly we drift Oh the bright silver tide
