the South African Beers have been hunters, and

bear US peacefully and joyfuliy on to
our Fatherland.
Here, again, is mighty assurance:
that the power Of Jesus to save IS IN
fnitely greater than the power OF wind
and wave, in the sea Of life, to des-
troy. There are times when the soul
seems threatened; when the power OF
the Devil and the power of temptation
seems infinite. AS measured with
these powers, faith seems as thread
that is anchoring the soul to its God.
It is at this hour that the soul sinks
in the storm, that faith seems but a
dying spark. The elements around
the soul seem too strong to permit the
presence of Jesus. The powers Of the
world seem mightier than the powers
of God. Oh, at this hour, the life OF
the soul is drowned in the tempest OF
unbelief, unless the frail vessel is de-
livered into the Master hand.
Behold Jesus, your King, as He
stills the storm and proves Himself to
be supreme in power. Again, behold
Jesus, your King, as He drives Satan
from before Him! Can you encourage
the fear that your trials and tempta-
tions can destroy your soul, in def
ance of the infinite power Of Jesus to
save?
Away, away with such fear! We
have in this scene before US every fear
and dread anticipated. The very ele-
ments which threatened the destruc-
tion Of His disciples, He converts into
His willing servants. So with US in
life. Tue things with which We have
to contend, which sometimes seem to
threaten our souls are forces, great
forces, necessary forces, as the wind
and ocean to the craft, which can be
used, aye, which are to be used and
must be used to bear us on to God.
Yes, the secret of life is to be found
in the picture before us. Peace comes
to US when Jesus is at the helm.
Life's sorrows and cares are as waters
and winds of peace, bearing us into
an eternal port. Our strengthened
eyes are no longer deluded by phan-
toms of luck and chance; they "behold
the King in His beauty; they see the
land that is very far of,
"And calm and peaceful is our sleep;
Rocked in the cradle Of the deep"
