are semitic deduct lessons of wisdom
from them. The first great lesson that IS
manifest is the necessity of providing so
far as possible against the occurrence OF
such calamities.
TIE grander forcs of nature are cosnic
and freighted with blessings to the uni-
verse. They are co,ordinated to each
other and are in the interest not Of death
but of life. Storm. wind and vapor do
but fulfil Gods will of infinite benefit
cience-the hygene of the earth and skies,
the sanitation of the world.
We are wa rned every way against their
approach and hidden to put on the whole
armor of science against them and to
master and control them.
Again calamity like this warns us OF
the nearness of death, and the folly OF
such preoccupation as ushers us into
the hereafter without due thought
Differ as we may touching the issues
of the future we are all agreed that in the
very act Of conveying a man to his proper
lot and place in another world there is
in stituted by death a most solemn crisis
for the soul. Who would enter upon it
unthinking? / am not pressing upon
any of us such unworthy. anxietysas would
unfit Tor duty or such greed of mere
existence that we should not he ready at
any time to lay down life for great end.
We refer rather to that utter absorption
in business and cares of this world that
makes us hesdless of the fact that we
are treading on the verge OF another lie.
A similar lesson was drawn as to the
seriousness and awful responsibility OF
our daily life. its choices, courses and
consequences. How much our continued
existence means to Others. They are
dependent on US for bread, for moral sup
port and motive to live.
What right have we then by indiffer-
elee or simple habit as to our route, con-
yeyance, seat on train or hours of travel
to leopard the peace Of homes, friends,
communities Inc preacher then turned
from the warnings to the lesson of COM
fort. Our poor afflicted ones are first to
strike out bitterly and denonnce officials
right and left. Why is this and that
permittedg Such thoughts may do as to
what is reparable. But for us wrenched
and sstricken for our dead they only
.swilder the brain and sour the heart.
Refuse to weave darkness. Turn 10 the
light, to the great and beloved God who
alone can soothe your distracted soul
lsMy times are in Thy hand, my God
wish them there. y
/ got deal of comfort from the fact
that all of the bodies of our dead which
come ashore wear peaceful look. The
sea is like the cradle which our mothers
rocked us in. Thy laid US down and put
us of to sleep. SO it seems to have been
with them. They fell asleep. Dear city
of our love, passing today through the
shadow of this great grief If we could hear
the little company speak who entered
the heavenly city, just q week ago. would
they not say, "Wesp not for us, The
bitterness Of death is past There is
land of pure delight and we have entered
in. We are with the Lord and He is

moved the reelection Of DR.. Wingo.
Another had seconded the motion, and
several speeches had been made, while
the pug dog, blinking solemnly, sat in
the front part Of the church.
The question was called for, and DR..
Fritts put it. "All who are in favor OF
the reelection OF brother Wingo will

ping way out in the ocean, he started to
investigate. 1t took q long time to find
out thu cause, but when he did Captain
Plat didn know just what to say to
do the subject justice. and 50 he walked
quietly back to his quarters without
saying anything.
The cause was an innocent LngllSh-
man who was sitting On a rear deck Of
the vessel and who happened to want a
drink. CHANGING round, he discovered a
handle that looked as if it might con-
meet with a signal bell somewhere, and
SO he grasped it and gave two strong
pulls. Unfortunately the bell was down
close to the engineers ear, and when he
got the signal the engines Were stopped.
