prived of a treat, but yesterday at the
Plymouth Congregational church the
Rev. w. G.. Jenkins. Of Pontypridd
South Wales, preached two excellent
English sermons. and they were en-
joyed by large congregations.
At the evening service he introduced
somewhat of an innovation before the
regular sermon in giving an interesting
talk to boys and girls and illustrated
his text with a we'll told story. The
choir afterwards sang an anthem. the
solo part being admirably sustained by
Miss Mary Owens. sister of Prof. David
Owens. leader Of the choir.
Rev. jenkins took for his subject the
story of Judas 1scariot's betrayal of
Christ. analyzing the character of the
man and what prompted him to for
sake the Saviour. His text was found
in the thirteenth chapter of John and
the thirtieth verse, "He then, having
received the sop. went Immediately

jenkins said: THE Lord chose twelve

man nature were among them. but
Judas Iscariot made himself the be-
trayer. He was not always a devil
having been born and reared as other
men. There are undoubtedly unwrit-
ten chapters in the life and history
Of the man. but Christ choose him for
what he was and what he might have
been.
His life then teaches us that we
should not dcspise men Of his calibre
because of their actions, but pity them
for their transgressions. We are often
times too ready to announce our fatal
ism and give way to environment, be-
cause we triie with ourselves when we
reason with our sins.
Some people say they are driven to
DO things by force of circumstances.
bat men arc not so easily driven as
we are led to believe. So 1t was in thu
betrayal of Christ by Judas. 1t might
have been his lust of money that drove
linn to it, and perchance he imagined
that had Christ established his king
dom then He would have made him
His prime minister.
But was the compromise worth it:

and merry one, and the result is that
the streets are strewn with the wrecks
of life. Thousands Of men and women
are on the road to hell.
But 1t will not do to trife with
Christ. He has mission for all of us
to perform, and we should not falter
by the wayside. The story Of Christ's s
betrayal Is an awful lesson for us all,
and this tragedy Of the Bible should be
timely warning to those who not only
betray Him but themselves as we'll.

OCEAN DERELICTS.
The Fanny E. WoIston Roamed Ten
Thousand Miles.

Perhaps it is the natural instinct
to personify every craft that floats;
perhaps it is because they were once
The domiciles of living beings that
makes human interest in derehcts
universal. They are the embodi-
ment Of pathos, the menace Of trag-
cdy. From the slavery of man they
have gone forth to the freedom of
the sea, which means, after all, that
they are stumbling bIindly on to
that destruction which ultimately
awaits all things which are without
the law. Some OF them last but
day; others float for years. The av-
erage number aAoat is usually about
twenty, but in 1873 an average of
thirtv-1iye a month was reported.
Most dcrelicts are made eff the coast
Of the United States in the gulf
stream, and theT are prone to fol-
low in tie wake OF the liners. Often
they follow the ocean river around
its great circle; and many Of them
get into the Sargasso sea.
The most notable derclict was the
Fanny L. Wo!ston, three masted

abandoned Oct. Is, 1891, and was
last seen in 1894. She drifted at
least 10000 miles, following the
great circle III a zigzag way. III this

Delaware during the blizzard Of
1883. The White vas a fast travel

in the fogs that hang over that re-

mist, floating around and around in
q comparatively small circle, loom
ing up suddenly under the bow Of
liners, sending cold terror to the
hearts Of fishermen, colliding now

making 4 general nuisance Of her
self. After several months OF this
fun she suddenly left one day and
continued her journey to Europe,
grounding at last on one of the
New IIcbridcs after Il cruise Of ten
months and drift of G.S00 miles.
Then there was the Fred B. Tay-
