wrath OF the sea the wreck was reached,
the exhausted people picked mp and saved
Humane societies rendered their thanks.
Wealth poured into the lap Of the poor
girl Visitors from an lands came 10 look
on her sweet face ard when soon after she
launched forth on q dark sea, and Death
was the onrsman dukes and duchesses and E
mighty men sat down in tears In Ainwiek
castle to think they never again might see
the face Of Grace Darling.
No such deeds Of daring will probably re
asked Of you, hut hear you not the howl oi
that awful storm Of trouble an SIN that
hath tossed ten thousand shiyered hulks I
into the breakersg Know you not that the
whole earth is strewn with the snip
wrecked-that there are wounds TO be !
healed, and broken hearts to be bound, ana 4
drowning souls TO be rescued? Some have I
gone down, and You come too late, but 9TH {
ers are clinging to the wreck, are shivering
with the cold, are strangling IN the wave, /
are CRYING to you for deliyerance. Will you I
not. oar in hand, put out today from the
lighthouse?
When the last ships timber shall have
been rent. and the last Longstone beacon
shall have been thundered down in the
hurricane. and the last tempest shall have
folded its wings, and the sea itself shall
have been licked up by the tongue OF all
consuming fire, the crowns of eternal re
ward shall be kindling into brighter glory
on the brow of the faithful Ana Christ
pointing TO the inebriate that you re-
formed, and the dying sinner whom you
tau..ht 70 pray, and the outcast whom you
pointed to God for shelter, will say; You

ENDURANCE OF MATERNAL LOVE.
Again. the scene Of the text impresses
upon MS the strength Of maternal attach
ment. Not many men would have had
courage or endurance for the awful mis-
sion of Rizpah To dare the rage Of wild
beasts. and sit from May to October un-
sheltered. ana to watch the corpses Of uu-
hurried children. was a work that nothing
hut the maternal heart could have accom-
! plished. Il needed more strength than 10
stand before opened batteries OF to walk IN
/ calmness the deck Of a laundering steamer
/ There is no emotion so completely uil-
! selfish as maternal affection. ConJugal
! love expects the return Of many kindnesses
and attentions. Filial love expects pa
rental care or is helped bg the memory Of
mast watebfulness. But the strength of a
/ mothers love is entirely independent of the
! mast and the future, and is, Of all emotions
1 the pu rest. The child has done nothing in
the mast to earn kindness, and in the future
it may grow up to maltreet its parent; but
still from the mothers heart there goes
forth inccusumable affection,
Abuse caunot offend it; neglect cannot
chill H.; sine cannot eflace 1t; death cannot
destroy it. For harsh words it has gentle
