which was OF tidal velocity, and was
carried out to sea. Then, on the sec

"Picking up some wreckage and d
tool chest, with tive others who joined
me, we succeeded In forming rude
raft, on which we placed the captain.
Seeing an upturned boat | asked one
Of the five to swim out to 1t and bring
it over so that Captain Muggah might
have an opportunity tolive. The man
succeeded In getting the boat righted,
but instead of returning he picked up
two Of his countrymen and went away
in the direction OF Fort de France.

rived In port stnn after we anchored,
making for the Roraima, said good

Drifting.

The late DR.. Purves, in a sermon on
Drifting" recently published, pleads
for a discriminating understanding Of
the age in which we live. "The spirit of
every age" he says. "is a commingling
Of good and evil. Ii is force not To be
Stunned but to be mastered. .
With very many of the intellectual and
moral forces of our age we should be
in sympathy. But we should not drift
with it. The evil lies in submitting
weakly to 1t as a whole, in letting it
mold our beliefs without intelligent
and Independent reflection on the
change, in being its slave and subject
instead Of its master and critic"
These are timely words. No man has
a right to drift. God expects every man
TO reflect and to compare, to test all
things and to approve the better. Do
not drift-decide!-United Presbv-
terian.
