object sermons which the pastor had made. All were different in design and each one intended to present just one great Bible truth. The sermon for the day was 1.-The Voyage of Life. '' The scripture was Mark 4:36, And there were also with Him other little ships" In the introduction the pastor called attention to the great interest we all take in looking at great ocean steamers, how great the preparation for the voyage to the other side, every provision made to carry passengers safely over, how some ships never make the port, wrecked in mid-ocean, others would almost reach the harbor and in sight of homeland perish in the deep. Then followed a contrast to life as such voyage and pressing home the lessons. There are also the little ships and this hour we are to have our thoughts centered on the little ships.
 On the platform was what represent ed the Sea of Galiee and on a table were placed number of little ships. Little ships keep near the shore, larger ships may venture more" These little ships we will bring forth upon the sea. Each ship has it's name.
 The first ship we find with the letter E. Evening Time is the name of our first little ship. "When even was come Jesus said Let us go over to the other side." Jesus invites us to sail with him. Many put off till evening. It is good for us to start in the morn- ing of life to voyage with Jesus. Our second little ship with the letter L. Launching Forth. Strange name this but how necessary to start if we ever are to take our voyage with Jesus. Disciples went when invited. Third ship s. Stormy Voyage is the name. Not every voyage in life is a calm one. Some are stormy. Jonah had a stormy trip, Many different kinds nf\ storms were dwels upon. Fourth ship T. Terrified Disciples. We fear when the storms come. A great storm rocks little ship. The disciples were sailors, but feared in the storm though Jesus was with them in the boat.
 The fifth ship P. Prayer. Men pray when in danger and these disciples prayed most earnestly to be saved. How many of you children pray? All. Yes we pray the prayer taught by mother or father or friend. Lead the life of prayer. The sixth ship T. Turning to the Lord. Disciples did not turn to one another but to the great helper who invited them to take ship to the other side. Seventh ship. H. Hearing his Words. Oh, the words of Jesus. Words which brought a great calm, great peace. Wonder ful words of Jesus, first to the wind, next to the sea and to his disciples. The eighth ship l. Immediate Calm. It does not take Jesus long to bring a cam out of storm. He spake the word only'' and it came to pass, great calm. Jesus is always giving great things even to little people.
 Ninth ship L. Little Faith. Jesus recognizes even little faith, but let us not be satisfied with the little, but 1 pray for the increase of faith, Where fore didst thou doubt. o thou of little i faith" said Jesus. The tenth ship s. Salvation. The disciples were saved, Oh, how blessed is salvation. Many times we sing Jesus saves! Jesus savesI" and he loves to save. Even little children He invites to come to Him and says of such is the kingdom of heaven.
 Now our next little ship. what is this, figure 12? Yes, "a number and not letter. That is it. Pilot ships
