/ Let uas give yoa two or three rules FOR the

I only an under deck passage. Do not allow
them ever 70 come up on the promenade
I deck. Morrify your members which arc upon
the earth Never allow your lower nature
anything better than a steerage passage. Let
watchfulness walk the decks - an armed
sentinel, and shoot down with great prompt
ness anything like a mutiny Of I1otous appe-
I ties
Be sure 70 look out Of the forscastls for ice

Pc sure 20 keep your colors upl You know
the ships OF England, Russia, France and
Spain by the ensigns they carry Sometimes
It IS Hon, sometimes an eagle, sometimes =
star, sometimes crown. Let it ever be
\ known who YOU are and for what port you
are bound. Let Christian be written on
the very front with a figure Of cross, a
! crown and dove; and from the masthead
let hoat the streamers OF Emmanuel. Then
| the pirate vessels Of temptation viii pass you
unharrned as they say: There goes Chris
tian, bound for the port OF heaven We VIII
not disturb her, for she has too many guns
aboard" Run up your Gag on this pulley:
Il am not ashamed Of the gospel of Christ,

God unto salvation" When driven back, or
aboring under great stress Of weather-now
changing from starboard tack 10 larbOsrd
and then from larboard 20 starbOard-look
above the topgallants, and your heart shall
beat ike a war drum as the streamers float
on the wind The sign % the cross will make
you patient, and the crown will make you
glad.
THE VOYAGE TO ETERNITY.
Before you gain port you viii smell the
land breezes of heaven; and Christ, the Pilot,
viii meet you as you come into the Narrows
OF Death, and fasten to you, and say: when
thou passest through the waters, will be
with thee; and through the rivers, they shall
not overflow thee" Are you ready for such
a voyagei Make up your minds. The gang
planks are lifting. The bell rings. All
aboard for heavenl This world is not your
I rest. The chafIiRch is the sillest bird in all
the earth for trying 20 make its nest on the
I rocking billow Oh, how l wish that as em-
I bark for the Holy Land in the east, all to
whom l preach by tongue or type would en-
Z bark for heaven. What YOU ali most need is
I God. aud you need him now. Some Of you
leave In trouble. Things are going very
rough with you. You have had a hard
struggle with poverty, or sickness or perse-
cution OF bereavement Light after light has
gone out and it il 50 dark that you can
hardly see any blessing left. May that Jesus
who comforted the widow Of Main, and raised
the deceased 70 life, with his gentle hand OF
sympathy wipe away your tears. All Is well.
When David was fleeing through the viii
deraess, pursued by his own son, he was be-
ing prepared 70 become the sweet singer Of
Israel The pit and the dungeon were the
best schools at which Joseph ever graduated
The hurricane that upset the tent and killed
Jobs children prepared the man Of UE 10
write the magnificent poem that has
founded the ages There Is no way 10 get
the wheat out OF the straw but to thresh it.
/ There is no Fay 20 purify the gold but 70
I burn it. Look az the people who have al
ways had it their own way. They are proud,
discoutented, useless and unhappy. II you
want 70 find cheerful folks. 70 among those
who have been purifed by the fire. After
Rossini had rendered William Tell" the FIVE
