DARING WORK IN A FOG.

Clever Seamanship of Captain In n
LandIocked Harbor.
"The greatest piece of seamanship 1
ever saw" said a traveller, was on a
trip to Halifax. 1t was a marvel, and
this is how 1t happened.
1--WE were steaming along about
twelve hours out from our destination
one summer afternoon 1t had been
clear all day, and the sea was beauti-
fully blue, but about o'clock the fog
began to shut down-one of those
swift, dense fogs that come on that
coast and shroud boat from sight in
less time than it takes to tell of it. OF
course the fog whistles began to blow,
and many of the passengers got nerv-
GUS under the strain of its continued
believing.
after dinner went up on the
bridge and was permitted to stay The
captain would not enter into any con-
yersation-that Is, l could not talk to
him, but In his restless pacing up and
down the bridge he would frequently
make remark to me. 1t went on that
way for hours, the fog as thick as
steam and the whistle reiterating its
mournful warning.
"At length the captain gave a sharp
order. Two points. northwest by
north he said. No, little more
that's right he finished as his COM
mand was executed l was bewilder-
ed, and my face must have shown it
as he passed me, for he vouchsafed
the explanation that he wanted to pass
within a few hundred feet of a GER
tain whistling buoy near the harbor
said nothing, but l did not under
stand. Why, the night was so thick
that it was hard work to see from the
bridge to the rail, and what could he
mean by making buoy?
ION and on we went, and always the
fog seemed to me thicker / could
not sleep, and most of the night was
on the bridge. When 1t must have
been nearly morning a new whistling
began to sound on our starboard bow,
as nearly as l could judge. 1t was a
fearful fog siren, and kept getting
nearer and nearer. We had stopped
whistling, and the passengers were ter
ribly frightened. l looked at one ex-
naval officer who stood with me on
the bridge, and his face was like a
dead mans. Mine must have been also.
Then, just as it seemed that some
giant steamship must strike us, so
close was the whistling. the fog lifted
like a veil, and there, not $50 feet
away, was the buoy that the captain
had mentioned.
almost at once the fog closed down
again; but, do you know, he took us
past two warships, into the landlocked
harbor and up to the dock in it. 1t
was magnificent, and, though we really
could not put our admiration in tan
gible form, we got together and gave
him gold watch on the return voyage
as a little souvenir New York Post.

our part-but the fallen angels q Cor.
vi, 81.
Quite possibly the hopes inspired by
that great sermon preached by our
Lords resurrection to the spirit be-
ings led some Of those fallen angels
to repentance. If so we may suppose
that during the eighteen centuries
since, they have suffered severely at
the hands of the rebellious angels,
who would he aroused to animosity by
their reform.
The Scriptures seem to imply that
fallen angels" wicked spirits" 'ly-
ing spirits" demons" will have
much to do with bringing about the
great "time of trouble" with which
this Gospel Age will end, before the
complete Inauguration of Messiah's
Empire and the binding Of Satan (Rev-
elation Xxx, A.. The intimation is that
the trouble here will be short and
sharp, as in the days of Noah. The
declaration of the Apostle that these
evil spirits will be in chains of dark
ness until the Judgment of the Great
Day leaves room for the inference that
when the Judgment of the Great Day
begins, the chains of darkness will be
broken. If, therefore. we have the
right understanding of this matter
great events are near at hand. Spirit
mediums are already declaring that
the spirits tell them that they will
soon be able to materialize In broad
daylight. With the power to counter
felt and personate humanity what may
this not mean in the way of deception
mentioned by our Lord, who declares
that it will be so strong that it would
deceive even the very elect" were
they not specially protected and guild
ed.
We remind you also of the great
stride which Spiritism, Occultism and
Psychic Science have made within the
last few years. These now number
amongst their friends and advocates
some Of the brightest scientific minds
One of these. Prof. James. of Harvard
College. recently, before dying, de-
clared that he would speedily COM
municate with his friends. Already
the newspapers tell us that he has be-
gun to communicate, but the mediums
claim that he has difficulty in operat-
ing through them. because of the great
force and power of his intellect and
that they must gradually become able
to act as his mediums. From the Bible
standpoint all this is a fraud-a de-
ception-but not on the part of the
mediums who are themselves deceived.
but on the part of the fallen angels.
who are thus tricking humanity.

The Holland Primrose.

There is a plant in Holland known
as the evening primrose, which grows
to Q. height of FIVE or six feet and bears
a profusion of large yellow flowers SO
brilliant that they attract immediate
attention, even at great distance,
but the chief popularity about the
plant is the fact that the flowers,
which open just before sunset, burst
into bloom so suddenly that they give
one the impression Of some magical
agency. A man who has seen this sud
den blooming says it is just as II some
one had touched the land with wand
and thus covered 1t all at once with a
golden sheet.

TRUTH.

Truth is always consistent with
itself and needs nothing to help it
out. It is always near at hand, sits
upon our lips and is ready to drop
out before we are aware. A lie is
troublesome and sets mans inven-
ion upon the rack. and one de-
spicable tnck needs a great many
more Of the same kind to make it
good.

Fallen Angels Changed.

While the angels preferred to live as
men in human bodies, they would not
be overwhelmed like humanity in the
food, but merely dissolve, by demate-
REALIZATION, their human bodies and be,
as originally. spirit beings. Satan was
the first sinner against the Divine gov
eminent. in his endeayor to set up a
separate empire and to have humanity
for his subjects. Although God had
full power to destroy Satan and the
other disobedient angels, he has not
exercised that power. Instead he mere
ly isolated them from himself and the
holy angels and imprisoned them, in
the sense that he no longer permitted
them to materialize. either as a SER
pent or as humanity for the tempting
and injury of our race. In this sense
they are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of lib
erty.

LOR|MER HEARING is ENDED
SENATORS ADJOURN BUT MAY
MEET AT WASHINGTON.
Speaker Shurtleff Goes on Stand
Testifes More About AS
sembly Factions.

Chicago. - The senatorial sub
committee which is Investigating
the election of United States Senator
Lorimer concluded its three weeks
session in Chicago without hearing
arguments.
Before the report on Mr.. Lorimers
right to his seat is presented to the
full committee on privileges and cleo
tions. by which the seven investiga-
tors were delegated, there is the pros
pect of further sittings at Washing
ton preceding the converting of con-
gress next December. Moreover. it is
possible that additional testimony will
be heard
This will depend in part upon
whether Representative Robert E.
Wilson, now in hiding, is found by the
deputy United States marshals, who
have been hunting for him to serve
him with subpoena.
Chairman Burrows made plain that
he was regarded as highly desirable
witness, whose absence at this time
suggested special reasons for secur-
ing his presence and testimony.
Speaker Edward D. Shurtleff was
slated one of the last witnesses heard.
Mr.. Shurtleff denied paying or re-
ceiving money ."or other valuable
thing" in consideration of voting for
Lorimer. Most of his testimony was
devoted to apportioning the house leg
| islators into factional groups.
Up to the last moment there was
uncertainty as to whether Senator
Lorimer would be a witness. but he
| did not go on the stand.
