of a building with 20 feet of water in the streets, realizing the undermining force of the element. A flaw In the foundation, unfaithful workmanship, might cost many lives. For our spir- itual safety hereafter we are remind - ed to see that our house is built oa | the solid rock of Christ.
 Disaster teaches us the inadequa e of natural religion. Natures beauties teach us a certain phase of truth. When nature smiles may feel that she is all sufficient but the flood teach es her inadequacy. The elements have no mercy; the waves do not dis tinguish between the floating log and the floating body. Can we imagine the people of Dayton in their houses fear ing destruction. praying to nature, to the floods. Nature is not bene icent; men toll for what they get out of the earth. In the sweat of the brow do we eat bread. Disaster shows the inadeq uacy of natures religion and the Jesus Christ. Standing amidst panic on the ship Paul saw behind the fury of the storm, the fact of the Almighty Sovereign. Natures moods change and it is during the storm tEat we feel the need of the grip on Almighty God, as Paul felt it as he stood on the deck of the ship
 Earthly Treasure Unstable.
 Disaster brings us a call to renem- Der the insta bility of earthly U cas- ure. Structures which required months of toll to erect are wiped out at once by natures fury. The only thing stable is tte character which stands all the tests of life. If one goes abroad he fortffies himself with money current in the land which he is to visit, and if we are to go to Heaven not as paupers. we must lay up treas ures in heaven.
 The last lesson is a warning Thick and fast come calamities and some day earth and Heaven shall pass away, but My word shall not pass away There is coming a great up heaval if we may believe the word of God, as I believe it, when there will be a new heaven and new earth: time when men shall call upon the mountains to> hide them from the wrath of God. Recent disasters warn us of the coming of the cataclysm With this warning let us remember the Christ who lifted Peter up out of the fioSl, and who is reaching out to save us.
