rest Of my first day in London
and England.

September End 1886 was a stor-.
my day on the English Channel,
and lots of people were terribly
seaSick that day. How happen
to know is because I was a pas
Senger that day on boat crossing
from Dover, England, to Calais,
France, at about II o'clock in the
morning.
It rained like all possessed and
the wind, she blew like young
hurricane.
I have seen stormy weather on
the. Atlantic Ocean and on the
Pacific and on the American
Great Lakes, but never have I
seen so many seasick folks who
were crowded in the cabin of that
boat.
To get away from the distressing
scene and foul air of the cabin,
my companion and I went to the
upper deck where we got fresh air
all right but had to hold tight to
posts to keep from being blown
overheard.
The only other passengers on
deck were two Englishmen, wear
ing like ourselves long rain-coats
and rubber caps.
They stood a short distance in
front Of us, and each had one arm
around a post.
My companion and I soon forgot
all about the rain that was pelt-
ing us in the face and trickling
down our backs-in the amuse-
ment we were getting from watch
ing the two Englishmen.
They were 1ikable young gentle
men Of about 80. They were evil
IDENTITY close friends. One was tel
ling the other a good story in a
very animated manner geSticulat-
ing with one hand while holding
his post by a tight grip with the
other.
The expression on both faces
was a delight to us spectators. The
speaker, all animation and OBJ
livious of his surroundings. The
listener, never interrupting, al
ways smiling his amusement and
approval.
The noise of wind and raging
waters prevented our hearing the
story, but we had no doubt of it
being corker.
While the tempest ragged and
our boat performed bucking-
broncho stunts in the English
Channel my companion and I
chung tight to our postS-fascin-
ated by the drama of the two
Englishmen. The wind and rain
were In their hair and whiskers. The
speaker was evidently celebrating
his story with great enthusiasm
his friend was smiling and nod
ding in approval. Neither seemed
to be at all disturbed by the howl
ing winds and roaring waves.
From our position we noticed
that a particularly fierce gust of
wind had started a rip at the bot
tom Of the back of the speakers
raincoat. Then another vicious
gust came along and increased the
rip to about foot. Then more
gusts came along and joined in
the frolic.
When the rip extended up to
the speakers waist the two separ-
ate sides were streaming wildly in
front Of him, but without disturb
ing the speaker or diverting him
from his story, which appeared to
be reaching the climax.
The triumphant end of the story
and the extension of the rip
came at the same time-and the
only notice the speaker paid to
the wrecked rain-coat was to
calmly gather the pieces into Q
bundle as the two Englishmen left
The deck-arm in arm, dripping
wet but In jocund spirits.

AS a diversion from the hideous
nightmare of European events
that are casting their ominous
shadows across the Atlantic and
make us here in America half for
get the eternal charm and beauty
of these passing autumn days-so,
this old-timer turns away from
these scenes of hate and horror
and death and obstruction to re-
call happier Septembers and .Octo-
bers of long ago when all the
world was blessed with peace and
prosperity and kindness and good
will.
Can there ever come on Earth
again such favorable period to be
living as the decade of the 1905
when all the world was watching
with establishment, admiration and
goodwill the immense enterprise
and invention and growth in
America?
In the year 1886 it was the

Travelled across our continent in
the spring and toured Europe in
the autumn.
At sunrise on Monday, August
30, 1886, the Cunarder "Servia" lay
at anchor in Liverpool harbor. The
staunch old ship with good pas
senger list of American tourists
had arrived during the night. We
were a joyous assembly a half
century ago as we crowded the
decks to get our first glimpse of
England.
Among the faces that come dis
tinctly back to me from that mem
orable scene-is that of a fine
young Virginian who was accom-
panied by his invalid wife and her
sister. This young Virginian and
his lady companions had won the
hearts of all the officers, crew and
passengers by friendliness and
courtesy. He was the promising
young author Thomas Nelson
Page, who later became our Am
bassador to Italy.
The passengers were informed
that the ship would stay at an
Choir and we would be taken
ashore with our luggage on a
lighter-in time to take Midland
Railroad train for London at 8
O'Clock.
But we were to have our good

school, on farm and in factory,
by wayside and by bench-work, in
church and in Sunday school, in
print and from pulpit, the witness
is being borne, and the results are
being cleaned. For when Jesus said.
"Ye are My witnesses" he meant
every single soul to whom He has
become known.
Perhaps the modern Christian is
weak in witness-bearing. The editor
of a great newspaper said to me
recently, Church people are un-
Rrateful"-having In mind the no.
torious fact that Christians 20 sell
dom recognize the service of the
press to the Church. I suggested
that they were not ungrateful, but
merely unvocal. They seldom write
to the editor to tell him what they
really think about his editorial posi-
ton upon current issues. and about
his religious articles. If readers had
written to editors what they have
said or written to me, this lesson
would be appearing today in 500
newspapers, instead of little less
than hundred.
Jesus staked everything upon wit
bearing by His friends. His
truth would triumph only by their
testimony. Today tens of thou
sands of missionaries are bearing
witness in all languages. Yet the
Master meant every disciple to be
missionary to the uttermost per-
son whom he can by any means
reach. And to the obedient ones
He promised the power and peace
of His abiding presence throughout
"all the days" A world so suf-
fused and motivated would fulfill
all of the most ardent dreams OF
an ideal society. 1t would be the
Kingdom Of Heaven on earth.
