Again, my subject teaches me that
good people sometimes get very much
frightened. From the tone and manner
of these disciples as they rushed into
the stern of the vessel and woke Christ
up, you know that they are fearfully
scared And so it is now that you often
find good people wildly agitated. "Ohi''
says some Christian man, the infdel
magazines, the bad newspapers, the
spiritualistic societies, the importation
Of SO many foreign errors, the church of
God is going to be lost, the ship is going
to founder! The ship is going down !"
What are you frightened about? An old
lion goes into his cavern to take sleep,
and he lies down until his shaggy name
covers his paws. Meanwhile the spiders
outside begin to spin webs over the
mouth of his cavern and say, "That lion
cannot break out through this web, :"
and they keep on spinning the gossamer
threads until they get the mouth of the
cavern covered over. Now. they say.

Tho Wreck of the Jason on Cape Cod.

A half mile away the Prov Of tho
wreck Jason, with its white figurehead,
rose clean out of the water, standing
where she struck the night of the 9Th Of
December, nearly two years ago. Tho
iron schooner broke clean in two that
night with the first shock, and the waves
rushed over her stern, which sank like
lead into the sand. Twentyseven men
went down with it, and next morning
20 dead bodies lay upon the shore in
among the scattered bales Of jute that
had formed the cargo. But the twenty
seventh, reaching the shore alive, man.
aged to clutch hold of one of the bales
of the floating cargo and kept his foot-
ing.
He young fellow, prentice lad
out of an English rectory, and he was
very nearly exhausted with the struggle,
but he staggered on along the sand
through the storm until he met the
squad of the life saving crew coming to
give help where there was only one
man left to need it, and catching at tho
first man he cried out to know that he
was safe. When they told him that he
was, he fell down in faint, and was
carried to the station like log. The
letter his father wrote in gratitude for
their care of him is kept among the rec
ords of the station, and it is one of the
few pleasant things to remember about
the most terrible wreck that had ever
lain on the dangerous Truro coast

THE GREATEST SPARKLER.
The Excelsior Diamond Travelled Under q
Military Escort.

When diamond is found weighing
more than 100 carats, the news is usu-
ally heralded with much ado. 1t is not
to be wondered ut therefore if the find
ing Of the Excelsior" created consid-
cradle excitement. 1t weighed in the
rough 971 carats, and was found near
Jagersfontein, in the Orange Free State.
When examined, it was found to be
white stone Of the first water, but
had small flaw in the center. The in
spector Of the mine, Swede named
Jorgenson, was the lucky finder. The
proprietors Of the mine, Breitmayer 81
Bernheimer, had the stone tested and
valued by experts, who agreed that the
value was $4,000, 600. Two offers Of
So, 900, 900 and 1880, 900 respectively
have been refused by the proprietors.
Upon its transfer to the coast great pre-
cautions were taken for its protection. A
squadron of cavalry escorted it to the
railway station. In Cape Town it was
placed aboard the British gunboat Ante
lope, which carried the precious gem to
London, where it now rests in the fire
and burglar proof vaults of the Bank Of
England.
Thenext largest diamond in the world
is the one owned by the rajah Of Matan
on the island of Borneo. This one weighs
367 carats. The handsomest of all the
large diamonds known is, however, the
one in the French collection of crown
jewels known as the Regent, which
weighs 1861 carats. Louis XIV paid
5000, 900 francs for it, but now it is
valued at 10000, 900 francs or $4,000
900.
How much the Excelsior" will lose
in cutting can only be decided by most
eminent experts AS rule, the larger
diamonds lose fully one-half Of their
weight in this operation. Naturally the
cutting, which is done with view to
having as few large pieces as possible
outside of the main gem, must be carried
on with the greatest care. This business
is carried on mainly in Amsterdam and
Antwerp. In Amsterdam there are at
present five large concerns Of diamond
cutters, with 872 diamond mills or cut
ting wheels and 5000 hands, besides a
large number of less important concerns.

1.-The hon. done, the hons DONE" Aft
or awhile the lion awalies and shakes
himself, and he walks ont from the
cavern, never knowing there were any
spiders webs, and with his voice he
shakes the mountain. Let the infdels
and the skeptics Of this day go on spin
ming their webs, spinning their infdel
gossamer theories, spinning them all
over the place where Christ seems to be
sleeping. They say: "Christ can never
again come out. The work is done. he
can never get through this logical web
we have been spinning" The day will
come when the Lion Of Judah's tribe
will rouse himself and come forth and
shake nightly the nations. What then
all your gossamer threads? What is
spiders web to an aroused lion? Do not
fret, then, about the world going back

You stand N the banks of the sea
when the tide is rising. The almanac
says the tide is rising, but the wave
comes up to certain point and then 1t
recedes why" you say, "the tide is
going back. f" No, it is not. The next
wave comes up little higher, and it
goes back. Again you say the tide is go
ing out. And the next time the wave
comes to higher point. and then to
higher point. Notwithstanding all these
recessions at last all the shipping Of the
world knows it is high tide. So it is
with the cause of Christ in the world.
One year it comes up to one point, and
we are greatly encouraged. Then 1T
seems to 60 back next year. Wesay the
tide is going out. Next year it comes to
a higher point and falls back, and next
year it comes to still higher point and
falls back, but all the time it is advanc-
ing, until it shall be full tide, land the
earth shall be full Of the knowledge Of
God as the waters fill the sea. F"

Again, I learn from this subject that
Christ is God and man in the same per-
son. I go into the back part of that boat,
and look on Christ's sleeping face and

Christ can hush the tempest Some of
you, my hearers, have heavy load of
troubles. Some Of you have wept until
you can weep no more. Perhaps God
took the sweetest child out OF your
house, the one that asked the most Gu
rious questions, the one that hung
around you with greatest fondness. The
gravedigger's spade cut down through
your bleeding heart. Or-perhaps it was
the only one that you had, and your
soul has ever since been like desolated
castle, where the birds of the night
boot amid the falling towers and along
the crumbling stairway. Or perhaps it
was an aged mother that was called
away. You used to send for her when
you had any kind of trouble. She was
in your home to welcome your children
into life, when they died she was there
to pity you. You know that the old
hand will never do any more kindness
for you, and the lock Of white hair that
you keep SO we'll in the casket Of the
locket does not look so we'll as it did on
the day when she moved it back from
the wrinkled forehead under the old
fashioned bonnet in the church in the
country. Or perhaps your property has
gone. You said, "There, have SO much
in bank stock, so much have in houses,
SO much I have in lands, so much 1
have in securities. " Suddenly it Is all
gone. Alas for the man who once had
plenty of money. but who has hardly
enough now for the morning marketing.
No storm ever swept over Gennesaret
like that which has gone trampling its
thunders over your quaking soul. But
you awoke Christ in the back part of
the ship, crying, Master, carest thou
not that perish?" and Christ rose up
and quoted you. Jesus hushing the
tempest
There Is one storm into which we
must all run. When a man lets go this
life to take hold of the next, do not
care how much grace he has, he will
want it ALL What is that out yonder?
That is dying Christian rocked on the
surges of death. Winds that have
wrecked magnificent hotillas of pomp
and worldly power come down on that
Christian soul. All the spirits of dark
ness seem to be let loose, for it is their
last chance. The wailing of kindred
seems to mingle with the swirl of the
waters, and the scream of the wind and
the thunder of the sky. Deep to deep,
billow to billow, yet no tremor, no
gloom, no terror, no signing for the dy-
ing Christian. The fact is that from the
back part Of the boat a voice sings out,
"When thou passest through the waters
I will be with thee" By the fash of
the storm the dying Christian sees that
the harbor is only just ahead. From
heavenly castles voices of welcome come
over the waters. Peace drops on the an
cry wave as the storm sobs itself to rest
like child falling asleep amid tears
and trouble. Christ hath hushed the
tempest
