REsUscITATIoN.
What frightful time we had a few
days ago down on the coast Of Long Is
land, where ! have been stopping. That
nrchangel Of tempest which, with its
awful wings, swept the Atlantic coast
from Florida to Newfoundland did not
spare our region. A few miles away, at
Southampton, saw the bodies of four
men whom the storm had slain and the
sea had cast up. AS Istood there among
the dead bodies said to myself, and /
said aloud: .'These men represent homes.
What will mother and father and wife
and children say when they know thisY"
Some of the victims were unknown
Only the first name of two of them was
found out-Charley and William.
wondered then and wonder now if they
will remain unknown and IL some kim
dred far away may be waiting for their
coming and never hear Of the rough way
of their going. l saw also one of the
three who had come in alive, but more
dead than alive. The ship had become
helpless six miles out. and as one wave
swept the deck and went down on the
furnaces till they hissed and went out
the cry was, "Oh, my God, we are lostV
Then the crew put on life preservers,
one of the sailors saying TO the other,
1--WE will meet again on the shore, and,
if not, well, we must all go some time"
OF the 23Smen who put on the life
preservers, only lived to reach the
beach. But what y scene 1t was as the
good and kind people of Southampton,
led on by DR.. Thomas, the great and
good surgeon Of New York, stood watch
ing the sailors struggling in the break
ers. "Are you still aliver' shouted DIR.
Thomas to one of them out in the break
ers, and he signaled yes and then went
into unc0nsciousness. Who should do
the most for the poor fellows and how
to resuscitate them were the questions
that ran up and down the beach at South
ampton.
How the men and women on the shore
stood wringing their hands, impatiently
waiting for the sufferers to come within
reach, and then they were lifted up and
carried indoors and waited on with as
much kindness and wrapped as warmly
az though they had been the princes Of
the earth. "Are they aliveT "Are they
breathingf' Do You think they will
liver "What can we do for themY"
were the rapid and intense questions
asked, and so much money was sent for
the clothing and equipment Of tho un.
fortunates that DIR. Thomas had to make
Q proclamation that no more money was
needed. In other words, all that day IL
was resuscitation.
And this is the appropriate word for
as this morning as we stand and look
of upon this awful sea of doubt and un.
belief on which hundreds are this mo-
ment being wrecked. Some OF them
were launched by Christian parentage
on smooth seas and with promise for
prosperous voyage, but q Voitairs cy-
clone struck them ON one side, and Tom
Paine cyclone struck them ON the other
dde, and q bad habit cyclone struck
- y. all sides, and they have foun-
from God, and ttlagm tttS8m shore, far away
are washed, ashore with no aown :, OF
left In them. nie
But, thank God, there are many here
today with enough faith left 10 encour-
age ms In the effort at their resuscitation.
All hands 10 the beach, With a conf
denee in God that takes no denial, lot
us lay hold Of theml Fetch them out
Of the breakersl Bring gospel warmth
and gospel stimulus and gospel life 10
