IF CHRIST BE ABOARD

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—IU his sermon for today Rev. Dr. Talwapre discourses on a dramatic incident during the Saviour's life among tlie Galilean fishermen and draws from it a striking lesson for the men and women of the pres"ent day. The subject was "Rough Sailing," and tho text, Mark iv, 8G, 37, "And there were also with him other little ships, and there aroso a great fitorm of wii^l

Tiberias, (!. Iilee and Gcnncsarct wore three names for tho snmo lukc. It J:.y in a sccne of great luxuriance. The EUI tounding hills, high, terraced, sloping, gorged, were, FO many hanging gardens of bervry. The streams tumbled down through ic-k.s of gray ami rod limufitone. and iiashing from the hillside bounded to the sea. In the time of our Lord the valleys, headlands and ridges •were covered' thickly with vegetation, and so great was the variety of cHmate that the. puim tree of tho torrid and the •walnut ic.) *f rigorous clunattf were only a iit r!e way apart. Men in vinoyards a: olive gardens wcro gathering lip the riches for the oil press. The hills and vailjyj ware starred and crimsoned with flowers, from which Christ took .his text, and the disciplfH learned lessons of patience and trust. It st^mcd as if God had dashed a wave of beauty on all the sceno until it hung dripping from the rocks, tlie hills, tho oleanders. On the back of the Lebanon range the glory of tho earthly scene was carried tip as if to set. it in range with the hills of heaven.

A Beautiful Sea.

No other gem ever had so exquisite a setting as beautiful Gennesaret. The ^waters were clear and sweet and thickly inhabited. tempting innumerable nets and affordir'j a livelihood for great populations. Bethsaida, Chorazin and Capernaum stood on the bank roaring with wheels of traffic and flashing with •splendid equipages, and shooting their vessels across thy lake, bringing merchandise for Damascus and passing great cargoes of wealthy product. Pleasure boats of Roman gentlemen and fishing smacks of the country people, who Jtiad come down to cast a net there, passed each other wirh nod and slvout aad welcome, or side by sido swung idly at 4he mooring. Palace and luxuriant bath .and vineyard, tower and shadowy arbor, looking off upon the calm sweet, scene as the evening shadows began to drop, .and Herroon, with its head covered with -perpetual snow, in the glow of the setting sun looked like a white bearded 'prophet ready to ascend in a chariot of 3fire. I think wo shall have a quiet night!

Hot a leaf winks in the air or a ripple disturbs ths surface of Gennesnrot. The .shadows of the great headlands stalk •clear across the water. The voices of •eveningtide, how drowsily they strike the ear—the splash of the boatman's oar, and the thumping of the captured fish on the boat's bottom, and those indescribable sounds which till the air at nightfall. You hasten up the beaoh of the lake a lifct-io way, and there you find -an excitement as of an embarkation. A flotilla is pushing out from the western shore of tho lake—not a squadron with deadly armament, not a clipper to ply •with valuable merchandise, not piratic vessels with grappling hook to hug to death whatever they could seize, but a flotilla laden with messengers of light and mercy and peace. Jesus is in the •front ship. His friends and admirers are ill the small boats following after. CJhrist, by the rocking of the boat and .the fatigues of the preaching exercises of the day, is induced to slumber, and I .see him in the stern of the boat, with a pillow perhaps extemporized out of a fisherman's coat, sound asleep. The breezes of the lake run their fingers through the locks of the wornout sleep--er, and on its surface there riseth and falletli tho light ship, like a child on tlie boson* of its sleeping mother! Calm night. Starry night. Beautiful night. Bun up all the sails, and ply all the oars, and let the boats—the hig boat and the small bo„ats—go gliding over gentte Gennesaret.

A Storm Arises.

The sailors prophesy a change in tho -weather. Clouds begin to travel up the -sky and congregate. After awhile, even the passengers hear the moan of the storm, which comes on with rapid strides and with all the terrors of hurricane and darkness. The boat, caught in the sudden fury, trembles like a deer at bay amid the wild clangor of the "bounds. Gioat patches of foam are flung through the air. The loosened sails, :i flapping in the wind, crack liko pistols.

The small boats poised on the white cliff of the driven sea tremble like ocean petrels, and then plunge into tho trough with terrific swoop until a wave strikes them with thunder crack, and overboard go tho cordage, the tackling and the masts, and tho drenched disciples rush into tho stern of tho boat and shout amid the hurricane, "Master, carest thou not tint we perish?" That great personage lifted his head from the fisherman's coat, and walked out to tho prow of tho vessel and looked upon tho storm. On all sides wrre the small boats -tossing in IveJplossness, and from them came the cries of drowning men. By the flash of lightning I seo tho calmness of tho uncovered brow of Jesus and tho spray of tho sea dripping from his board. He has two words of command —one for the wind, tho other for tho ,«ea. He looks into the tempestuous heavens and he cries, "Peace!" and then ho looks down into the infuriate waters and he says, "Be still!" The thunders

ya»\t

a retreat. The waves fall flat on hoir faces. The extinguished stars re* i^tudle their torches. The foam melts.

THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR IN MAK

ING LIFE'S STORMY VOYAGE.

SCT. Ta*iwrs* I»rcrc:»t3 ii Str5!-:is:s 1x3•on For tlx- JIcn and Women of the Present Da.'—Christ Stiliiuj the Tempest—j*. jTlcture*

The storm is dead. And while the crew are untangling the qqrdage and the cables and baling out the water from the hold of the ship the disciples stand wonder struck, now gazing into the calm sky, now gazing into the calm sea, now gazing into the calm face of Jesus, and whispering one to another, "What manner c.f man is this, that even the winds and the 301 obey him?"

Ii" ilhy-si .Aboard.

I learn, first, from this subject that when you are going to take a voyage of any kind you ought to have Christ in tho ship. The fact is that those boats would all have gone to the bottom if Christ had not been there. Now, you are about to voyage out into some new enterprise—into some now business relation. You are going to plan some great matter of profit. I hope it is so. If you are cn-.:te:rt l'-1 '-"i alon.'r in the treadmill contr.nl plan nothing new, yon are in. fuihi' year mission. \.liac you can du l.y the utmost tension «f body, mind and s-. ul that you are hound to do. You have 110 right to bo colonel of a regiment if God calls you to command an army. You have no right to bo stoker in a steamer if God commands you to bo admiral of tlie navy. You have 110 right to engineer a ferryboat from river bank to river bank if God commands you to engineer a Cnnarder from New York to Liverpool. But whatever enterprise you undertake, and on whatever voyage you start, bo sure to take Christ in the ship. Here a.re men largely prospered. Tho seed of a small enterprise grew into an accumulated and overshadowing success. Their cup of prosperity is running over. Every day sees a commercial or a mechanical triumph. Yet they are not pulled up. They acknowledge the God who grows the harvests and gives them all their prosperity. When disaster conies that destroys others, they are only helped into higher experiences. Tho coldest winds that ever blew7 down from snow capped Hermon and tossed Genuesaret into foam and agony could not hurt them. Let the winds blow until they crack their cheeks. Let the breakers boom—all is well, Christ is in the slnp. Here are other men, the prey of uncertainties. When they succeed, they strut through the world in great vanity and wipe their feet on the sensitiveness of others. Disaster comes, and they are utterly down. They are good sailors on a fair day, when the sky is clear and tho sea is smooth, but they cannot outride a storm. After awhile the packet is tossed abeam's end, and it seems as if she must go down with ail tho cargo. Push out from the shoro with lifeboat, long boat, shallop and pinnace. You cannot save the crew. The storm twists off the masts. The sea rises up to take down the vessel. Down she goes! No Christ in that ship.

I speak to young people whose voyage in life will be a mingling of sunshine andjOf darkness, of arctic blast and of tropical tornado. You will have many a long, bright day of prosperity. The skies clear, the sea smooth. Tlie crew exhilarant. The boat stanch will bound merrily over the billows. Crowd on'all tho canvas. Heigh, ho! Land ahead! But suppose that sickness puts its bitter cup to your lips suppose that deaith overshadows your heart suppose misfortune, with some quick turn of the wheel, hurl's you backward suppose that the wave of trial strikes you athwart ships, and bowsprit shivered, and halyards swept into the sea, and gangway crowded with piratical disasters, and the wave beneath, and the sky above, and tho darkness around are filled with tho clamor of voices of destruction. Oh, then you will want Christ in tlio ship!

When Storms Come.

I learn, in the next place, that people who follow Christ must not always expect smooth sailing. When these disciples got into the small boats, fhey said: "What a delightful thing this is Who would not be a follower of Christ when he can ride in one of these small boats after tho ship in which Jesus is sailing?" But when the storm came down these disciples found out that following Jesus did not always make smooth sailing. So you have found out, and so I have found out If there are any people who you would think ought to have had a good time in getting out of this world, the apostles of Jesus Christ ought to have been the men. Have you ever noticed how they got out of the world? St. James lost his head St. Philip was 'hung to death against a pillar St. Matthew was struck to death by a halberd St. Mark was dragged to death through the streets St. James the Less had his brains dashed out with a fuller's club St. Matthias was stoned to death St. Thomas was struck through with a spear. John Huss in tho fire, the Albigenses, tho Waldenses, the Scotch Covenanters—did they always find smooth sailing? Why go so far?

There is a young man in a store in New York who has a hard time to maintain his Christian character. All the clorlcs laugh at him, tho employers in that store laugh at him, and when he loses his patience they say, "You are pretty Christian!" Not so easy is it for that young man to follow Christ, if the Lord did not help him hour by hour, he would fail. There are scores of youiig men today who would bo willing to testify that in following Christ ono does not always find smooth sailing. There is a Christian girl. In her homo tlioy do not liko Christ. Slio has hard work to get a silent place in which to say her prayers. Father opposed to religion mother opposed to religion brotliors and sisters opposed to religion. The Christian girl does not always find it smooth sailing when slio tries to follow Jesus. 1. But bo of good heart. As seafarers, when winds aro dead ahead, by sotting tho ship 011 starboard tack and bracing the yards make the winds that oppose the course propel the ship forward, so opposing troubles, through Christ, veering around the bowsprit of faith, will waft you to heaven, when, if tho winds had been abaft, they might have rocked and sung you to sleep, and while dreaming of the destined port of heaven FOU could not have heard the cry of

anaate it'll in

warning and would have gone crashing into the breakers. No Need of Fear*

Again, my subject teaches me that good people sometimes get very much frightened. From the tone and manner of

rr"!-hr'J

the scern of the vessel and woke Christ up, you know that they are fearfully scaioii. And so if. is

says some Christian man, "the infidel magazines, the bad newspapers, the spiritualistic societies, the importation of so many foreign errors, the church of God is going to be lost, the ship is going to founder The ship is going down!" What arc you frightened about? An old lion goes into his cavern to take a sleep, and he lies down until his shaggy mane covers his paws. Meanwhile the spiders outside begin to spin webs over the mouth of his cavern aad say, "That lion cannot break out thggwgh this web," and they keep on spinning the gossamer threads until they get the mouth of the cavern covered over. "Now," they say, "the lion's done, tho lion's done." After awhile tlie lion awakes and shakes himself, and he walks out from the cavern, never knowing there were any spiders' webs, and with his voice he shakes the mountain. Let the infidels and the skeptics of this day go on spinning their webs, spinning their infidel gossamer theories, spinning them all over the place where Christ seems to be sleeping. They say: "Christ can lJfever again come out. The work is done. He can never get through this logical web we have been spinning." The day will come Avhen the Lion of Judah's tribe will rouse himself and come forth and shake mightily the nations. What then all your gossamer threads? What is a spider's web to an aroused lion? Do not fret, then, about, the world's going backward. It is going forward.

You stand 011 the banks of the sea when tho tide is rising. The almanac says the tide is rising, but tho wave comes up to a certain jjoint and then it recedes. "Why," you say, "the tide is going back." No, it is not. The next wave comes up a little higher, and it goes back. Again you say the tide is going out. And the next time the wave comes to a higher point, and then to a higher point. Notwithstanding all these recessions at last all the shipping of the world knows it is high tide. So it is with the cause of Christ in the world. One year it comes up to one point, and we are greatly encouraged. Then it seems to go back next year. We say tho tide is going out. Next year it comes to a higher point and falls back, and next year it comes to a still higher point and falls back, but all the time it is advancing, until it shall be full^tide, "and the earth shall be full of the knowledge of God as the waters fill the sea." "Ilcoe Deus."

Again, I learn from this subject that Christ is God and man in the same person. I go into the back part of that boat, and I look 011 Christ's sleeping face and see in that face the story of sorrow and weariness, and a deeper shadow comes over his face, and I think he must be dreaming of the cross that is to come. As I stand on the back part of the boat looking on his face I say: "He is a man He is a man But when I see him come to the prow of the boat, and the sea kneels in his presence, and the winds fold their wings at his command, I say: "He is God He is God The hand that set up the stormy pillars of tho universe wiping away the tears of an orphan! When I want pity and sympathy, I go into the back part of this boat, and I look at him, and I say: "O Lord Jesus, thou weary One, thou suffering One, have mercy on me!" "Ecce homo!" Behold tho man! But when I want courage for the conflict of life, when I want some one to beat down my enemies, when I want faith for the great future, then I come to the front of the boat and I see Christ standing there in all his omnipotence, and I say, "O Christ, thou who couldst hush the storm can hush all my sorrows, all my temptations, all my fears!" "Ecce Deus!" Behold the God!

The Hashed Tempest.

I learn also from this subject that Christ can hush tho tempest. Some of you, my hearers, have a heavy load of troubles. Some of you have wept until you can weep no more. Perhaps God took the sweetest child out of your house, the one that asked the most curious questions, the oneJ that hung around you with greatest fondness. The gravedigger's spade cut down through your bleeding heart. Or perl^ps it was the only one that you had, and your soul has ever since been like a desolated castle, where the birds of the night hoot amid the falling towers and along the crumbling stairway. Or perhaps it was an aged mother that was called away. You used to send for her when you had any kind of trouble. Sho was in your home to welcome your children into life, when they died she was there to pity you. You know that the old hand will never do any more kindness for you, and the lock of white hair that you keep so well in tho casket of tho locket does not look so well as it did on the day when sho moved it back from the wrinkled forehead under the old fashioned bonnet in tho church in the country. Or perhaps your property has gone. You said, "There, I have so much in bank stock, so much'I have in houses, so much I havo in lands, so much I have in securities." Suddenly it is all gone. Alas! for the man who once had plenty of money, but who lias hardly enough now for the morning marketing. No storm ever swept, over Gennesaret like that which has gone trampling its thunders over your quaking soul. But you awoke Christ in the back part of the ship, crying, "Master, carest thou not that I porisli?" and Christ rose up and quieted you. Jesus hushing the tempest. ..*

There is ono storm into which we must all run. When a man lets go this life to take hold of the next, I do not care how much grace he has, he will want it all. What is that out yonder? That is'a dying Christian rocked on the turges of death. Winds that have

wrecked magnificent flotillas of pomp and worldly power come down on that Christian soul. All the spirits of darkness seem to be let loose, for it is their last chance. The wailing of kindled seems to mingle with the swirT^of t-hte ailu i-iiU fc'CT'J Ji i-ue VVilllA cll-ld the thunder of the sky. Deep to deep, billow to billow, yet no tremor, 110 "Icon., ii.' terror, no svchiiii? .fj.r il-n dylug Lnnstiaii. The lact is that from the back part of the boat a voice sings out, "When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee." By the flash of the storm the dying Christian sees that the harbor is only just' ahead. From heavenly castlos voices of welcome come over the waters. Peace drops on the angry wave as the storm sobs itself to rest like a child falling asleep amid tears and trouble. Christ hath hushed the tempest.

The Sheriff's Rase.

A deputy sheriff started from the Receiving hospital with two insane men who had been committed to the asylum at Ukiah. "You had better take some ono along to help you unless you want, to have some trouble," suggested cn^cf the police surgeons. "Two men I should think would be too many for you." "Not much. It is easier to take two men than one. I'll show you how- 1 dd it."

The deputy led the man who imagined Be was king of England to oiie sido aftrti confided to him: "Your majesty, that man over there," indicating the man who thought his head was an eight day clock, "is as crazy as a bedbug and is liable to hurt some of your subjects if he gets loose. I want you to heip me take care of him till I can lock him up in the asylum." "That's an unseemly occupation for the king of England. Fail! Attendant to the insane!" remarked the disgusted monarch. "But I will do it. I like adventure. You will take due precaution to conceal my identity, or your head will be the price of your carelessness."

The deputy whispered to the human clock. "Do you see that fellow over there?" indicating the king. "Well, he's crazy, and if you don't keep your fa$e toward him he's liable to stop your hands and touch off your alarm. Now, I want you to help me watch him till I can land him in the asylum. Then you can run right along."

When the deputy left the hospital, the king and the clock had locked arms and were hanging to each other desperately. The deputy smoked and read all the way to Ukiah while the insane men tock care of each other.—San Francisco Post

Told About Dr. Parkhnrst.

A 'laugh provoking episode of the late Lexow business is told by a young man who was employed by Lawyer Goff at the time. ^t happened in Goff's office, when Dr. Parkhnrst, William Travers Jerome and the chief inquisitor were listening to George Appo's description of the various schemes worked by bunko steerers, flimflammers and green goods men. When Appo finished, Goff turned to his desk, Jerome picked up a newspaper, and Brother Parkliurst gazed ceilingward while ho turned over in his mind the ways of the sinners in this wicked world. Appo, who has a purring voice, looked at the good, brave man and said, "I beg your pardon, doctor." His reverie was broken, and Appo continued: "Could you let me have two tens for a five? I need some change." "Certainly, certainly. To bo sure. I guess I've got it. Here—yes—two tens —to be sure.'' With that blandness bred of a dash of Chinese blood in his veins, Appo handed the doctor a "fiver," which was pocketed with scrutiny.

Jerome and Goff, who had seen the game, managed to control their feelings until Appo had slipped into the outer office. Brother Parkhurst apparently caught their flushed faces, suddenly jammed his fingers into his vest pocket and pulled out a $5 bill. He arosfe and found the clever rogue, to whom he softly said, "Oh, Mr. Appo, didn't I give you two $10 bills just now?" "Yes, doctor," replied the childlike product of a swift civilization, "that's what I asked you for. Then the laughs broke out, and the dector realized that a man who plays with fire is very apt to be scorched.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

Weighty Bricks.

The frequency of sueoessful train robbing has changed the system of casting bricks long in vogue at mining assay offices throughout the west, and the government will soon follow the example set.

Speaking of the matter, Colonel John Orolett, formerly mayor at Silver Bow, but now of Butte, Mon., said: "Assay offices at Helena are now roneiv'ng large amounts of gold from the northern mines, and it nearly all comes in big 1.ricks a foot long, 6 inches wide and S3 inches deep. I recently saw a bar that weighed nearly 150 pounds, being worth, at 30 per ounce, over $30,000. The bullion is now cast that way to prevent loss in ij sin robberies. It would be almost impob.i hlo, for road agents to hide or suddenly carry aw,ay Rich a gian£ bar as that. "—San Francisco Chronicle.

Sad IiOt of a Mortuary Poet la Prussia.

A private in the Pomeranian chasseurs, imperial German army, recently lost his captain, Franz Abicht, by death. He always had had the deepest reverence for tho captain, and he voiced his toolings two weeks ago in a poem which lie sent to the Ulmer Zeitung. The poem was published. As soon as a copy came to the notice of the commander of the battalion ho called the private to him and told liim that the poem, by its excessive praise of Abicht, implied disrespect of tho other superior officers, who outranked the late captain, and therefore was subversive of discipline. The private was sent to the guardhouse for his sins, and all copies of the Ulmer Zeitung which had been bought by members of the battalion were seized uid destroyed.

BERATED OUR FLAG.

Mowbray, the English Anarchist, Called down.,

STOPPED IN HIS CHICAGO SPEECH.

Tlie Police Permitted Him to Abuse Tliem and the Newspapers, but tlie Stars and Stripes Must lie Held Sacred The

Speaker Left the Platform and JOscaptd

in the Crowd. CHICAGO, Sept. 23.—Charles Wilfred

Mowbray, the English anarchist, who came to this city for the purpose of teaching his doctrine of red flag and no government, was stopped in tlie middle of a speech yesterday afternoon in Belmont park by the poli*. He was so badly frightened that after a few words of explanation, ia which he said that he did nor mean to teach violence, he hurriedly left the platform and made his escape in the crowd.

Mowbray has been disappointed 011 all sides siaco ho iias been in the city. The trades and labor a.-'sSiiibly, the recognized ceirrai body of trades unionists, denounced liim at its meeting, and the attendance at tho park yesterday V&& very small.

Police Inspector Schaack, who was a wKmiiuent- figure in the troublesome mnes of 18SG. made pi*eparations to nip any kind of radionl demonstration before it had gone too far. He was present with a detail of police in citizens' clothes, and a block away 100 uniformed officers and three patrol wagons waited a signal to make a descent on the gathering.

Mowbray started in by abusing the police and the newspapers. Inspector Schaack bore this witiiout interference, but when the speaker began berating the stars and stripes, and hoping for the glorious day when the red emblem would be raised triumphantly aloft the inspector gave the signal, and Captain Schuettler, wbo was on the platform, laid a heavy hand on the shoulder of the speaker. Mowbray had not expected this, and was plainly disconcerted. He stammered and looked dismayed, and attempted an explanation, but the big police captain quietly remarked: "You have got to stop that kind of talk," and that settled it.

There was a howl from the crowd at the interruption, and several of the more radical ones attempted to climb the stairs leading to the platform. They were prevented from doing so by the police. Richard Braunschweig, a loudmouthed radical, who can scarcely epeak a word of English, managed to _et on the platform and attempted to

Captain Schuettler to one side. Tjras seized by two detectives. Sirs. Lucy Parsons was present a«d utter Mowbray's experience she remarked: "It don't surprise mo any. Liberty is dead in Chicago. Any one can see that." To which the police inspector replied: "Anarchy is dead in Chicago for all time."
