aud perhaps do not think OF that Incident
again. That is historical faith. d, - ,,,bt
But now you are on the sea anu II y h'~l't
and YOU are asleep. Ani YOU are awakrh"l

the deck. You hear, amid the wringing OF
th,, hands and the faintirg, the cry NO
hon. no hone We are lost. We are lost w
The salt puts ont its wing OF fire, the robes
make a burning ladder In the night heavens,
the shirt Of wrecks misses In the waves, and
! o., the hurricane decks shakes out its banner
OF smoke ant darkness. Down with the
liictoais o. rriai the captain. Down with
the Il schoatsi'' People rush into them Tho
boats nrr about full. Room for only one
NOR. man. You are stau ling on the deck

Who shall IL be2 You or tho captaini
The captain says. you You jump ant
are saved. He stands there and dies. Now,
Won believe that Captain Braveheart sacrl-
| iced himself for hts passengers, but you
believe II with love, with tears, with hot
! AMI long continued ex 'lamatiOns, with
| grief at his loss aud Joy ut your deliverance.
That l. saving f1itn-in other words, what
| YOU believe with all the heart and believe
IN regard 10 yourself On this hinge turns
my sermon Iye, the salvation OF your i'm
| mortal soul. You often 80 across a bridge
! you know nothing about. You do not
know who built the bridge, you do not
! know what material it Is made Of. bur
YOU come to II and walk over it
ant ASK no questions. And here is an
| lrchei bridge blasted from the Crock OF
Ages AMI built 10y the Architect OF the
| whole universe, spanning the dark gulf be-
| tween sin an righteousness, AMI all God asks
| you IL to walk across II. and you start, ant
you CON" To 1t, and you stop, and you go
= little way on, ami you stop, and you fall
! back, and you experiment. You say, How
| 10 know that bridge will hold me- in
! stead OF marching On with firm step, asking
~ questions, hut fre.in; that the strength
OF the eternal Go is under you.
GA, was there ever prize pro ffercd so
| cheap as par Ton and heaven are offered to
you? For how mucht A million dollarsy
II Is certainly worth more than that But
| cheaper thaa that you can have II. Ten
thousaId dollars? L.ss than that. Five
thousand dollars LIS, than that One
! dolhr Less than that. Ono farth-
! mys Loss than that. Without money
ant without price No money to pay No
Journey to take. No pennncc to suffer
Only just one drcisv action OF the soul,
| "Brllrvc on the Lord Jesus Christ, and

Shall try to tell you what 1t is to be
saved; "nnnot tell you. No man. no
