him other little ships, Shark 1: SO.
We don't often think OF these other
little ships that were beating through
the storm that night on Galilce. We
have, indeed, thought of the disciples
turning at last in the panic of despair
to the Worn and weary Jesus asleep,
Master, carcSt Thou not tDat we per

preciated this little touch in Mark
description, There were also with
Him other little ships" Out yohdcr,
where the mist mantled the tuhu4tu-
Gus waters like Il wrath of ueath,
there were other little ships each
fighting its own way for life. Ihere
was no Christ aboard, to whom, III the
supreme moment of peril they cou!u
turn for help.
When Christ spoke the word Oh
peace the calm brought safety not ohi9
to His immediate followers; IL was
shared also by the other little ships.
In other words, what the Master did
directly for one He did indirectly Tor
a great many others. The blessings OF
His peace were not confined 10 the
men who had invoked His help. These
blessings were diffuscd across the sui
len waters, so that when tie storm
was over it was not one, but many
ships that. with thankful hearts
aboard sailed into the harbor beneath
the hill. delivered from the perils OF
the deep. safe home at last
These other little ships remind us
of the unseen comradcshipS in life.
We are not alone in the storms of life.
With you, though You may not Know
it, there are other souls lighting the
same kind of battle through sorrow
ana temptations; and in their courage
ana endurance you ought to find
certain inspiration. Wonderful is this
ministry Of the unseen sympathy Of
life 1t is good for us. surely, once in
a while, to be reminded of it, and to
send across the waters 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 he 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, 10

poor soul to tremble before the mys-
terry of that unknown world. Not

for Christ is with us" And what ARE

with them, and before whose presence

an address at the Baptist church, Ca

few weeks ago. Now the day of the
impending calamity has passed. The de-
crease in the mortality, as shown 10y tho

calamity was due IN a long degree TO
the splendid work of the marine hospital

given out by the service was "A true one.
Nothing has been suppressed, and truth

greatest benefit. Dr. Warner said that

his might against the suppression OF any
health news.
