the result of correspondence with all
the great public schools in England,
forty In number, such as Eton, Rugby

conclusion that from nine to ten hours
sleep was essential to the healthy

only two of the English schools came
up to the highest standard in this re-

Text,-"And there were also with
him other little ships, Mark 1: 81
We don't often think Of these other
little ships that were beating through
the storm that night On Galilee, We
have indeed, thought OF the disciples
turning at last In the panic OF despair
TO the worn and weary Jesus asleep,
Master, carest Thou not that we per

preciated this little touch In Marx :

Him other little shlpsT Out yonder

Gus waters like wrath OF aeath'
there were "other little ships" each
tlghtlng It's own way for life. There
was no Christ aboard, to whom, In the
supreme moment of peril they could
turn for help.
When Christ spoke the word or
peace the calm brought safety not only
TO His immediate followers; II was
shared also by "the other little ships
In other words. what the Master did
directly for one lie did indirectly for
a great many others, The blessings OF
His peace were not confined to the
men who had invoked His help. These
blessings we've difTused across the sui
len waters, SO that when the storm
was over II was not one, but many
ships that, with thankful hearts
aboard, sailed into the harbor beneath
the hill, delivered from the perils or
the deep, safe home at last
These other little ships remind, us
Of the unseen comradeships In life
We are not alone In the storms OF life
With you, though you may not know
II, there are other souls fighting the
same kind OF battle through sorrow
and temptation; and in their courage
and endurance you ought TO hnd a
certain inspiration. Wonderful Is this
ministry OF the unseen sympathy Of
life. 1t Is good for us, surely, once in
q while, to be reminded of 1t, and to
send across the waters a friendly cry.
and hold up, perhaps, a kindly light
through the driving mirk.
These other little ships remind us
also OF the unseen fellowship In death.
No wonder that the soul shrinks from
the loneliness of that journey. Yet
again there are the other little ships.
Every moment there are other souls
passing out into the darkness OF that
great sea OF eternity. And over them
is the light Of Gods love; and 1t need
not be lonely for you and me If In trust
on Christ we take that last voyage of
human life.
When that brave soul, Charles
Kingsley, lay dying in one room, and
his wife dangerously Ill in another
she sent him a message one day, to
ask II he thought 1t cowardly for a
poor soul to tremble before the mys
terry OF that unknown world. mot
cowardly," was his response; but, re
member. it Is not darkness we are 60
ing to, for God is light; not loneliness
for Christ Is with u.s." And what are
we. in that last experience OF life, but
like those other ships who will make
port at last because OF One who was
with them. and before whose presence
even the shadows of death melt into
radiant light?
