ing; for the wind was contrary unto
them and about the fourth watch Of
the night He cometh unto them walk
ing upon the sea."-Mark Gas.
The Sea of Galilee is notorious for
the suddenness of its storms. That
sea may be a peaceful, smiling lake
one hour and the next hour be a
seething and furious caldron. One of
these wild and sudden tempests over
took the disciples on this particular
night, about which our text tells.
In obedience to their Master, they
had launched their boat about sunset;
but they had not gone very far, not
half way across, when they found
themselves in the clutches of raging
gale! With that gale they fought
hour after hour with no avail. They
barely held their own against the
wind. While they were thus facing
the storm, the Master was upon a
mountain overlooking the lake en-
gagged in prayer. And as hour after
hour passed, and hope began to give
place to despair, it may be that they
thought hard things of Jesus. Why
had He commanded them to get in
that boat and attempt the voyage? II
He had only allowed them to remain
with Him, they would have been safe
and sound on the shore. Some such
thoughts may have come from their
bitter souls. "The wind was contrary"
says the text. The fundamental fact

ty, over the pitfalls of temptation and
through the valleys of humiliation.
However grievous the contrary
winds of life may be / want to make
YOU sure of one thing about them;
and that is, THEY HAVE A HIGH
OFFICE TO FILL IN OUR LIVES.
It is well for US that life is not easy.
It is after all struggle and toll, TAX
ing to the oars, that tests the STUFF
we are made of. 1t is the contrary
wind that makes manhood.
No sailor ever becomes master OF
the deep by padding his boat about in
some quiet mill pond he does 1t by
launching out into the deep and sail
ing the high seas facing every vino
that blows. And no soul ever be-
comes master liver, possessing pow
err, self-control, by sleeping in the
quiet waters of ease! The way God
makes true men and women is by Civ
ing them some contrary wind to over
come and battle with, thus developing
their powers of soul.
But our text does not merely give
us a picture of men bravely facing
the contrary winds of life. 1t gives
to the struggling soul bright fact.
And that is the Divine Sympathy.
Seeing them distressed in rowing, Je-
sus cometh unto them walking on the
sea. The disciples were tossing and
wrestling in the midst of the sea,
with waves distressing and wind con-
trary. But from His mountain over
looking the lake where He had gone to
pray, Jesus was watching them. Yes,
in the shadow in the dim unknown
stood the Christ keeping watch above
his own! He that keepeth watch over
Israel neither slumbereth nor sleep
eth while his friends are being tossed
by the storm! There is indeed infinite
pathos in the struggles f men and the
burden could not be borne were it not
for the eye of pity that looks down
from above. From the heights the
sympathetic eye of Christ watches the
struggle we make. All, how much it
means that someone knows and cares!
To every one facing the contrary
winds of life, here is His word of in
finite comfort, 40, | am with you al
ways even unto the end of the world"
So through the thunder comes a d.
vine voice saying. 40 heart that l
made, heart beats here"
