ON FACE OF THE WATERS.
4 Lesson Which Came to a YOUNG
Man Out Of the Heart Of
the Storm.

We were far out of sight of land on one
OF the sunniest June days, when sudden
ly the wind came in sharp gusts from the
southeast. In few moments the waves
were quick and foam-crested. The eyes
which turned eastward saw graz haze
swiftly creeping over the sky, and then
the ragged edges OF a black cloud. Soon
thunder peals were heard, and vivid
flashes Of lightning darted into the sea.
Many Of the passengers on the great
steamer sought the cabins. But among
these who stood by the railing watchina
the storm was youth, and man O.:
some GO years. whose friendship lie naM
won on the day when the steamer lett
port
"Yonder cloud seems like vivid PIC
ture of what often sweeps down on our
lives when all is bright and safe. said
the young man. 1T is like the great
darkness which rested on all the waters
In the beginning OF things. See how
inky black the whole sky is growing"
Eyes" said the older man. you sag
much that is true. But just watch ycn-
der sea bird"
II was indeed an inspiring picture
which caught the quick glance of the
youth, relates Rev. Charles n Sinnecott,
IN New York Observer. The bird had
risen into view as If startled by crash
Ing thunder peal from its resting place
In hollow OF the surges. Straight
against the storm II made its way. Some
times il seemed lost in the deep abysses
made BY the tossing waves. but it always
rose above their crests.
"Oh, you mean that verse about tho
Spirit Of God moving on the face of the
waters" said the young man suddenly
But that means that God moved like a
Fash OF light at sunrise through the
heavy darkness"
Yes" that is the verse" was an
swered. But think the Spirits move
ment was like that of this bird. slowly.
steadily, surely. into the very heart OF
the chaotic backness. The morning
light touches the wave crests. But this
bird touches them and the deepest hol-
lows between them. The closer study
Of the verse shows that it means. Tho
6pirit Of God brooded on the face of tho
waters
See hoV the bird rose from that
aountain wave after that sharp flash Of
lightning" said the young man, laying
his hand gratefully on the arm of his
companion. And God helped me to sec
that as in the beginning He moved over
all the waters. He goes before us In all
the storms OF life, and We can ever trust
sn Him
