The Ten Commandments.

Rev. Edgar, Jones gave last
Sunday evening at the NJ. f..
church, the first of a series OF ad-
dresses. OH the above subject.
The special theme OF the occasion
was "1Nhp One God and Mud
Gods. = The speaker pointed out
that Jehovah Col demand
ed our worship and service Oh
the ground Of his u,liqueposition
AIS the only God and also because
OF his redemptive relation to the
world. The "Mud Gods" are
those whom men substitute in
place OF the true God. Man by
the very nature Of his being
must worship something, and ii
Jehovah be not the object oil
that worship, Their he will bow
to other Gods. Such divinities
are called "Mud Gods" because
Of their cheapness, and the kind
OF men AMI women their worship
pers become.
The house was crowded to the
TO the door, several not finding
seats did not stay. The theme
for next Sunday evening is '.The
Disgrace OF the Tongue" which
viii deal with the Third Com
lnandment.

The girl sat on the counting OF the cockDit
for minute staring, then threw up his
hands and pitched forward onto the plank
ing as though bullet had smitten the life
in his brain.
The big donkeyman also was startled.
Out OF the morning mists of the south
there had come up small oenterboard
schooner of some / 5 tons, an FISHERMAN
perhaps in the season and now sponge
gatherer or mere coaster. She was COM
ing down over the seas as dry as gull,
striving along under her boom foresail and
jib. The donkeyman' S eye hung on hor
as she surged past the rust streaked flank
OF the steamer some go fathoms away
not because the sight of little white
painted schooner was new to him. not be-
cause he was impressed by the danger to
the Port Edes' enterprise in her being seen
by any one, but on account of the tiny
vessel being handled in what to her was
distinctly ugly weather, by so extraordi-
nary person as young and pretty girl.
NO one else was on deck, and the girl sat
on the coaming Of the cockpit, tiller in
one hand, tiller rope in the other, as I'M
concernedly as though she had been an
ancient mariner bred and aged in fore

hair whose ends blew out from beneath a

into warm pinks by the wind; a figure Of
pretty curves, and the shapeliest little
brown fists In the world splayed on the
tiller and gripping the restraining tiller

But Patrick Cambel had not tainted
through the effect of his recent struggle
alone 1t was quite another matter which
had dealt him the sufficing shock.
In the steerer of that little schooner he
had seen the sister of the woman to whom
he had once been affianced; who had dis

Five long desperate years had passed
since the blow fell upon him, and time
was doing its work. He had begun to for
get her, to promise himself that, this pres.
ent enterprise accomplished, he would
eliminate the past and lead a newer and
different life, and yet there, on the most
unlikely corner Of Gods earth, her sister
passed like stage figure before his eyes,
the sister from whom she was never
parted.
The shock came upon him as thunder.
