Chambers is reported by the Journal to have written a letter to Congressman Byxcm expressing the hope that he may move a congressional inquiry into the conduct of the district attorney's office during his (Chambers') incumbency. Ferhaps a copy of this letter has been sent to Mr. Byxum and perhaps it ha3 not. But whether it has or not, we hope that Mr. Byxcm will move the resolution of inquiry and we promise, if a committee of investigation is appointed, to produce a number of w itnesses who will show up 3Ir. Chambers' official record in a very bad . liflht indeed. Mr. Chambers is quoted by the Journal as saying in his alleged letter to Congressman Byxtm: It is a matter of public notoriety that for months before I entered upon the duties of this office its conduct was a subject of general criticism. It has been openly and persistently charged that the office was prostituted to the purposes of political persecution; that the state of Indiana was hunted throughout for witnesses to testify as to the political conduct of men acainst whom no charges had been filed; that innumerable indictments were returned against parties without sufficient evidence to sustain them, and all aeainst members of one political party; that indictments having no evidence to sustain them were purposely badly drawn, and some were returned without ever having been read over by the grand jury, having been 6igned in the assistant dis'-rict attorney's office, and not even ia the presence of the members of the prand jury other than the foreman. In short, that the business of the office was not loo.ely but corruptly conducted, and thus the government was put to jrreat expense, individual rights imposed upon, law violated and justice outraged. If Mr. Chambers assumes the responsibility of making the above charges it is proper, of course, that they should be investieated. We presume that Judee Claypool and Mr. Bailey, Chambers' predecessors in the office of district attorney, will offer no objection to such an in vesication, hut whether they do or not, The Sentinel will be very triad to see it take place. Of one thintr the people may rest assured, that if a searching investigation is had it will show that the district attorney's office since Ch ambers secured charge of it has been openly, scandalously and notoriously prostituted to the service of political knaves ami scoundrels ; that all its resources have been systematically employed to prevent the rascals known to have been guilty of vote-buying and other forms of corruption from being broucht to justice or even from being brought to trial ; that indictments by the score, reurned by a federal grand jury after careful investigation and acting within the instructions of Judge Woods himself, have been dismissed by that judge upon the flimsiest of technicalities without opposition from the district attorney and indeed upon his recommendation; that the same official persistently refused to ask that the grand jury which had investigated these charges ehould be recalled for the purpose of correcting the alleged defects in the indictments, although the precedents of this very court authorized and demanded suc h action; that when in regular course the federal grand jury was tailed, this man Chambers failed to summon witnesses in many of the most important cases; that in those cases in -which the form of proaecution was pone through with, Chambers and Cocxrcm made no pretense of concealing their sympathy for the defendants and their desire fur their acquittal ; that while trials were pending in the court these fellows gave interviews to the public press in which they denounced the prosecutions r.s "persecutions," and pronounced the defendants "honorable citizens;" that when, following the precedent established in the Cy case, a warrant for William Wade Dcdley's arrest was obtained from Commissioner Van Ecken, this man Chambers interposed his authority to prevent the service of the warrant upon the ground that he did not propose to see a gallant soldier like Col. Dudley "annoyed" and "worried," and that, finally, to further emphasize his utter lack: of moral sense or conception of official propriety, he defended this action in the Indianapolis Journal by advancing the theory that Col. Dudley's infamous blocks-of-five letter was a blameless epistle, evincing only "a patriotic interest in the election." These are a few of the things that will be shown before any committee that may be appointed, and thsy will prove the man Chambers to be, as a public official, the tool of political corrupt ion ists, and a man utterly unfit to hold any office of trust or responsibility, and whose retention in the service of the government, in his present capacity, is a scandal and a disgrace. It might be well if the investigation could be extended so as to cover the record made by Judge Wkds in these same matters, although of course judicial rulings are beyond the scope of congressional action. But it would be exceedingly interesting if Judge Claypool, Partner Miller and other well-known gentlemen could be placed on the witness stand and pe rsuaded to tell ail they know about the true inwardness of the scandalous proceedings in the U. S. court during the pendency of the Dudley and collateral investigations, and a sensation would no doubt be produced if the correspondence ijetween Judge Woods on the one hand and Judges Gresham, Harlan, ex-Senator McDonald and Judge Clay pool on the other touching these political cases could be made public. But this correspondence will probably never be jriven to the world. If oar democratic friends conld point to a inple instance where the alleged advice to buy blocks-of-five voters was acted upon, or in any way a part of the republican campaign, there would be some troth in their assertion that the blocks-of-five letter was an authority in the campaign management in this state. Tore JJfiule rprru. Witnesses by the score were before the federal grand jury last spring testifying to the purchase of votes in accordance with the instructions of Dudley. Upon the basis of their testimony a large number of indictments .were returned. Judge Woods quashed nearly all of these indictments (the district attorney, Smiley Chambers, offering no objection) because of alleged technical defects. These

indictments were drawn in precisely the same forms followed in .Judge Woods' court for many years. But . the judge found that a t was not crossed here, an i was not dotted there, and so on, and threw them all out .of eourt. .He declined to do as he did In the tally-sheet cases recall the grand jury, so- that the pretended defects, in. the indictments could be corrected. When the new grand jury came .Smiley Chambers was running the district attorney's office, and he took pains to keep the witnesses in all the important cases away from that body. It is not because of a lack of evidence that a score or more of Dudley's trusted men are not now in the penitentiary. It is because they had the court and the district attorney on their side. Tom Browne's Sugar Bounty Scheme. The Journal is evidently prepared to indorse any scheme for depleting the treasury, however wild and reckless it may be. (Jen. Thomas Browne of this state, who, only a few years ago, voted in congress for a resolution pronouncing the protective tariff a robbery and demanding a tariff for revenue only, has just introduced a bill in the house providing, among other things, for the payment out of the national treasury to growers of sugar of a bounty of 1 cent per pound on their product. The Journal, speaking of this bill, says: It is clearly the duty of concress to do something to stimulate sus;ar production. With an abundance of land suited to suzar-beet culture, we should, like Germany and France, produce onr ownaupnr. Th bounty proposed by Gen. Browne's bill may not be a sufficient stimulus to build up that important industry, but it i in the rijrht direction. The people would be the gainers, since they would escape the payment of the fitty-odd millions of duty collected on sugar, and would pay out of other revenues four or five millions to stimulate the sugar industry. There can be no doubt that the plan of (ien. Browne would be very popular with the consumers of sugar. It will be seen that the only criticism the Journal has to make upon (len. Browne's bill is that it does not go far enough. It would probably suit the Journal better if it proposed to give 2 cents a pound, and better still, if the bounty were made o cents a pound. With the Journal it is anything to get rid of the surplus so as to afford a pretext for maintaining high taxes in the interest of rapacious monopolies. Yet we fancy it would puzzle the Journal, or any other advocate of a sugar bounty, to present a single argument in favor of such a bounty which would not be equally as strong in favor of a bounty to the producers of other articles. It we are to take money from the people and put it into the national treasury and then take it out of the national treasury and give it to sugar growers, why should we not also take the money collected from the people and give it to wheat growers, or cattle growers, or wool growers, or newspaper publishers, or blacksmiths, or school teachers, or horse doctors? Why should sugar growers be given these peculiar and exclusive privileges? However, if the policy of taking money from the pockets of the people and giving it to certain limited classes is to be continued, it is much better that the Browne direct subsidy plan should be substituted for the Kelley-McKinley indirect subsidy plan. The beauty of the Browne plan ir that under it the people would kuow exactly what it eosts them to coddle the sugar growtrs. If the taxation of the many for the benefit of the few is to be perpetuated it would be best that the pig-iron barons and the factory lords ami all the tribe of pampered favorites of legislation should draw their money from the national treasury instead of taking it surreptitiously from the people's pockets. As between protection by bounties and protection by tariffs we are for the former every time. We hope the Browne bill will bo posted because it will be worth all it cost as an object lesson to the j-eople. But we should be glad to see the bounty increased so that the Journal could unreservedly indorse the scheme.

The Influenza Epidemic. The epidemic of influenza, which originated in St. Petersburg, the czar of Russia being among the first victims, and which then spread throughout Europe, has made its appearance in this country. In a number of the seaport cities the disease is prevailing in a mild form. There used to be a generally accepted theory that this disease appeared epidemically in definite cycles of 100 years. The Medical Uncord recalls the fact that it visited the United States a century ago. A letter from Dr. John Warren to Dr. Letson, written in 17S0, epeaks of Gen. Washington as "but now recovering from a severe and dangerous attack of it." But there have been epidemics within the last century. In 1:10 such an epidemic originated in China, spread to Russia and throughout Europe in 1831, and reached this country in lSoi. In the United States, however, it assumed a very much milder form than in Asia and Europe. In lS3Ta more severe epidemic, originating in Russia, spread to every part of Europe. In 1817 there M as an epidemic of malignant influenza in England, the number of persons attacked by it in London alone having been, according to the Lancet, about 230.1KX). Recent scientific investigations have established the fact that influenza finds its origin in a specific bacillus or germ which lives in the atmosphere instead of in the water and soil where the cholera germ finds its habitat. The raiasm, it appears, always starts in the East and extends westward, decreasing in quantity and malignance when the ocean is crossed and the western hemisphere is reached. The Medical lWord, therefore, predicts that the prevailing epidemic will, like ita predecessors, prove very mild in this country. The disease is troublesome, but, rarely dangerous, except in the cases of .very young people and very old people; . ,. Medical men who are devoted to scientific investigation hail the the present epidemic with pleasure because of the opportunity it affords for the more positiv? " determination of the .Influenza baciUua. f.The Medical Record expressed its regret tbattho bacterologists of Europo will have a better chance to attain substantial results in this line. " . Although the slave trade is small compared with what it was a century ago, it is estimated that no fewer than two millions of human beings perish every year in consequence of the hellish traffic. This is a sufficient warrant for the congress of nations which recently assembled at Bni" s. ls for the purpose of considering thj question of the slave trade, and devising methods for its suppression. Fourteen nations arc represented. It Lj ideally to

be hopi'd that the congress will have some practical results. The great powers, acting together, can wipe out the slave trade in a year, and every year that they fail to do it s an added reproach to them. In view of the vociferous assertions of The Sentinel and some other papers that Judge Fbazer's decision "upheld the school book law in every point." it is somewhat remarkable that the Indiana Becktold school hook company, which was a party to the suit, should have appealed the case to the supreme court in asking that the case be advanced on the docket for an early decision, they drop some incidental remarks as to the eflect of Judge Frazer's decision which lead to a belief that they do not coincide with the views expressed by The Sentinel when it copied the opinion from the Journal and printed it with lying bead lines. Juurnai. The Sentinel did not print Judge Frazer's opinion with "lying head lines." The Sentinel lies neither in its head lines nor elsewhere. Unlike its wicked contemporary it is wholly devoted to the truth. Why it should impress anybody as remarkable that the Indiana school book company should seek an early decision on the school book law from the supreme court we do not understand. Very few people doubt that the court will hold the law constitutional, as Judge Fkazeb did. But in view of the ellorts of the Van Ant-werp-Bragg monopoly through the Journal and its other paid organs to create the impression that the law is unconstitutional on the strength of the Benton county decision, it is clearly to the interest, not only of the school book company but of the people generally, that the supreme court should give a final decision at the earliest possible moment. TnE republican press of the state is enthusiastic over the triumphal (?) visit of Col. Dudley to Indianapolis. The colonel's success in escaping arrest through the interposition of Smiley ". Chambers, under orders from Washington, impresses the lural republican mind as a great achievement, which ia celebrated after this fashion: When Col. Dudley got ready to go to Indianapolis he went. When he eot ready to leave Indianapolis he left. When he gets ready to come back aain he will come, and when he gets ready to leave again he will leave again, notwithstanding the objections of SIM COY, Lkon Bailey, The Sentinel and the rest of the tally-sheet forgery crowd, yelah. This is from the Columbus Jlcpuhlican, and fairly illustrates the attitude of the entire republican press ot the state toward the blocks-of-five boodler.

We trust Congressman Byntm will demand an investigation into the scandalous interference with the processes of law committed by U. S. Atty. Smiley X. Chambers last week, when he used his authority to prevent the service of a warrant, regularly issued, upon the champion vote-buyer, William Wade Dudley. As Atty'.-Gen. Miller and President Harrison are standing squarely by Chambers, congress should certainly take some action. If the republican house dares to refuse a demand for an investigation, it will only identify the grand old party still more closely with one of the most infamous political crimes in American history. If Mr. Byxum calls for an investigation, it will probably be ordered. A monument to the memory of Mary, the mother of Washington, stands unfinished in a church yard at Fredericksburg, Md. Its construction was began in 1S33, by Silas Barrows, a wealthy citizen of Xew York, who, becoming financially embarrassed, was obliged to abandon his worthy undertaking. An effort is making at Boston to raise the money to complete the monument by private subscription. If it fails, congress will be asked to make the necessary appropriation, and will doubtless do so. Certainly if the grave of the grandmother of her country is longer left unmarked, it will be fresh proof that republics are, indeed, ungrateful. Ax amendment to the census law has been proposed in congress providing for the collection of statistics showing the amount of mortgage indebtedness on the farms and the homes of the country. The amendment ought to pass, but the prospects are that it will be defeated, as the republican party does not want the country to know how rapidly the mortgages have been multiplying upon American arm? and homes under the influence of fthe 47 per cent, monopoly tariff. The Indiana school book company has been made party to the Kosciusko county case, involving the constitutionality of the school book law. The case has been appealed to the supreme court, and yesterday was advanced on the docket and the hearing of argument set for the 28th of January. Eminent counsel will be heard on both sides. The decision will be awaited with great interest throughout the state. Speaker Reed is already exploiting himself in the character of a bulldozer. He is proceeding upon the theory that democrats in the house have no rights which, as its presiding officer, he is bound to respect. But Reed will le speaker only one term, and the minority in the present house is too large and compact to be successfully bulldozed. So Reed is not very terrible, after all. Twelve Massachusetts cities, including three important ones Worcester, Lowell, and Fall River have given majorities against licensing saloons at the elections held this year under the local option law. Jt is a safe prediction that after a trial of the no-license-free-whisky system these cities will be glad to return to the high license policy. The confirmation of Judge Brewer for the supreme bench gives Jay Gould another member of that tribunal. It will be remembered that Jay Gould procured Stahlky Matthews' appointment. Now he names his successor. Great is the power of boodle when republican presidents occupy the w hite house. The Terre Haute Gazrtte makes several extracts from the already famous Dudley interview with Smiley Chambers and adds: These are the exp ressions of a corrupt ooundrel. He disgraces the place he holds. He ought to be driven from office in disgrace. His appointment was a scandal. His retention is a crime. mi It Dudley.

TALMAGK IN CAPERNAUM,

A CITY ONCE MADE HOtY BY CHRIST. Interesting Dlseours on th Subject of "A Stormy Passage" The- Preacher Inspired With rootle Sentimeuta on th Hank a of Galilee. The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., preached at Capernaum last Sunday to a group of friends on "The Stormy Passage," taking for his texts the verses of the gospel following: John, vi, 17: "Entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum;" and Mark, iv, 09: "And He arose and rebuked the wind and the sea." He said : Here in this seashore village was the temporary home of that Christ who for the most of His life was homeless. On the site of this village, now in ruins, ami all around this lake, what scenes of kindness, and power, and glory, and pathos when our Lord lived here ! It has been the wish of my life I cannot say the hope, for I never expected the privilege to stand on the banks of Galilee. What a solemnity and what a rapture to be here ! I can now understand the feeling of the immortal Scotchman, Robert McCheyne, when, sitting on the banks of this lake, he wrote: "It is not that the wild gazelle Comes down to drink tby tide, But He that was pierced to save from hell flft wandere i br thy side. Graceful around thee the mountains meet, Thou calm reposing sea: But ah! far more, the beautiful feet Of Jesus walked o'er thee." I can now easily understand from the contour of the country that bounds this lake that storms were easily tempted to make these waters their play -ground. From the gentle way this lake treated our boat when we sailed on it yesterday one would have thought it incapaWe of a paroxysm of rage, but it was quite different on both the occasions spoken of in my two texts. I close my eyes, and the shore of Lake Galilee as it now is, with but little signs of human life, disappears, and there comes back to my vision the lake as it was in Christ's time. It lay in a seen of great luxuriance; the surrounding hills, terraced, sloped, grooved, so many hanging gardens of beaut y. On the shore were Castle, armed towers, Roman baths, everything attractive and beautiful all styles of vegetation in shorter space than in almost auv other space in all the world, from the pafm-tree of the forest to the trees of rigorous climate. It seemed as if the Lord had launched one wave of beauty on all the scene, and it hung and swung from rock and hill and oleander. Roman gentlemen in pleasureboats sailing this lake and countrymen in fishing-sniacks coming down to drop their nets pass each other with nod, and shout, and laughter, or swinging idly at their moorings. Oh, what a beautiful scene ! It 6eems as if we shall have a quiet night Not a leaf winked in the air ; not a ripple disturbed the face of Gennesarct, but there seems to be a little excitement up the beach and we hasten to see what it is and we find it is an embarkation. From the western shore a flotilla pushing out; not a squadron, or deadly armament, nor clipper with valuable merchandise, nor piratic vessel ready to destroy everything they could seize, but a flotilla bearing messengers of light, and life, and peace. Christ is in the front of the boat. His disciples are in a smaller boat. Jesus, weary with much speaking to large multitudes, is put into omnolence by the rocking of the waves. If there was any motion at all the ship was easily righted; if the wind passed from s:tarloard to larboard or from larboard to starboard the boat would rock, and by the gentleness of the motion putting the Master asleep. And they extemporized a pillow made out of a fisherman's coat. I think no sooner is Christ prostrate and His head touched the pillow than He is sound asleep. The breezes of the lake run their fingers through the loeks of tbo worn sleeper and the boat rises and falls like a sleeping child on the bosom of a sleeping mother. Calm ni-rht, etarry niht, beautiful night. Run up ail the sails, ply all the oars, and let the large boat and the small boat glide over gentle Gennesarct But the sailors say there is going to be a change of weather. And even the passengers can hear the moaning of the storm as it comes on with great stride and all the terrors of hurricane and darkness. The. large boat trembles like a deer at bay among the clangor of the hounds; great patches of foam are flung into the air; the pails of the vessel loosen, and the sharp winds crack like pistols; the smaller boats, like petrels, poise on the cliffs of the waves and then plunge. Overboard go cargo, tackling, and masts, and the drenched disciples rush into the back part of the boat and lay hold of Christ and say unto Him: "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" That great personage lifts His head from the pillow of the fisherman's coat, walks to the front of the vessel, and looks out into the storm. All around Him are the smaller boats, driven in the tempest, and through it comes the cry of drowning men. By the flash of the lightning I see the calni brow of Christ as the spraydropped from His beard. He has one word for the sky and another for the waves. Looking upward He cries: "Peace!" Loooking downward He says: "Be still!" The waves fall flat on their faces, the foam melts, the extinguished stars relight their torches. The tempest falls dead and Christ stands with His feet on the neck of the storm. And while the sailors are bailing out the boats, and while they are trying to untangle the cordage the disciples stand in amazement, now looking into the calm sea, then into the calm sky, then into the calm Savior's countenance, and they cry out: "What manner of man is this that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" The subject in the first place impresses me with the fact that it is very hnjiortant to have Christ in the ship, for all those boats would have gone to the bottom of Gennesaret if Christ had not been present. Oh, what a lesson for you and for me to learn! We must always have Christ in the ship. Whatever voyage we undertake, into whatever enterprise we start, let us always have Christ in the Bhip. All you can do with utmost tension of body, mind, and soul you are bound to do, but oh 1 have Christ in . every enterprise, Christ in every voyage. - There are men who ask God's help at the beginning of great enterprises. He has been with them in the past; no trouble can overthrow them; the storms might come down from the top of Mt. Hermou and lash t-iennesaret into foam and into agony, but it could not hurt them. But here is another man who starts out in worldly enterprise, and he depends upon the uncertainties of this life. He has no God to help him. After awhile the storm comes and tosses off the masts of the ship; he puts out his life-boat and the long boat; the sheriff and the auctioneer try to help him off; they can't help him off; he must go down no Christ in the 6hip. Your life will be made up of sunshine and shadows. There may be in it Arctic blasts or tropical tornadoes; I know not what is liefore you, but I know if you have Christ with you all shall be well. You may seem to get along without the religion of Christ while everything goes smoothly, but after awhile when sorrow hovers over the soul, when the waves of trial dash clear over Pitcher's Castorla.

the hurricane leck, and the decks are crowded with piratical disasters oh, what would you do then without Chrit in the ship? Take Go 1 for your portion, God for your guide, God for your helD ; then all ia well ; all is well for time, all shall be well forever. Blessed is tbat man who puts in the Lord his trust. He shall never be confounded. But my subject also impresses me with the fact that when people start to follow Christ they must not expect Bmooth sailing. These disciples got into the small boats, and I have no doubt they said : "What a beautiful day this is! What a smooth sea ! What a bright 6ky this is ! How delightful is sailing in this boat ! And as for the waves under the keel of the boat, why, they only make the motion of our little boat the more delightful." But when the winds swept down and the sea was tossed into wrath, then they found that following Christ was not smooth sailing. So you have found it; so I have found it. "Did you ever notice the end of the life of the apostles of Jesus Christ? You Mould say, if ever men ought to have hail a smooth life, a smooth departure, then those men, the disciples of Jesus Christ, ought to have had such a departure and such a life. St James lost his head. St. Phillip was hanged to death on a pillar. St. Matthew had his life dashed out with a halbert. St. Mark was dragged to death through the streets. St. James the Less was beaten to death with a fuller's club. St. Thomas was struck through with a spear. They did not find following Christ smooth sailing. Oh, how they were all tossed in the tempest! John Huss in the fire, Hugh McKail iu the hour of martyrdom, the Albigenses, the Waldenses, "the Scotch covenanters did they find it smooth sailing? But why go iuto history when we can draw from our own memory illustrations of the truth of what I say? Some young man in a store trying to serve God, while his employer scolis at Christianity ; the young men in the same store, antagonistic to the Christian religion, teasing him, tormenting him about his religion, trying to pet him mad. They succeed in getting him mad. saying: ' "You're a pretty Christian !" Does that young man find it smooth sailing when he tries to follow Christ? Or you remember a Christian girl. Her father despises the Christian religion ; her mother despises the Christian religion ; her brothers and sisters scotf at the Christian religion ; she can hardly find a quiet place in which to say her prayers. Did she find it smooth sailing when sho tried to follow Jesus Christ? Oli.no! All who would live the life of the Christian religion must suffer persecution ; if you do not find it in one way you will get it in another way. The question was asked: "Who are those nearest the throne?" And the answer came back: "These are they who came up out of great tribulation great flailing as the original has it; great flailing, great pondering and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the lamb." Oh, do not be disheartened! Take courage. You are in glorious companionship. God will see you through all trials and He will deliver you. My subject also impresses me with the fact that good people sometimes get very much frightened. In the tones of these disciples as they rushed into the back part of the boat ! find they are frightened almost to death. They say: "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" They had no reason to be frightened, for Christ was in the boat I suppose if we had been there we would have been just as much aflrighted. Perhaps more. In all ages very good people get very much aflrighted. It is often so in our day, and men say: "Why, look at the bad lectures; look at the various errors going over the church of God. We are going to founder. The church is going to perish. She is going down." Oh, how many good people are affrifrhted by iniquity in our day and think the church of Jesus Christ is going to be overthrown, and are just as much affrighted as were the disciples of my text. Don't worry, don't fret, as though iniquity were going to triumph over righteousness. A lion goes into a cavern to sleep. He lies down, with his shaggy mane covering the paws. Meanwhile the spiders spin a web across the mouth of the cavern and say : "We have captured him." Gossamer thread after gossamer thread, until the whole front of the cavern ia covered with the spiders' web, and the spiders pay: "The lion is done; the lion is fast." After awhile the lion has got through sleeping; he rouses himself; he shakes his mane; he walks out into the sunlight; he does not even know the spiders' web is spun, and with his voice he shakes the mountain. So men come spinning their sophistries and skepticism about Jesus Christ; He seems to le sleeping. They say: "We have captured the Lord; lie will never come forth again upon the nation; Christ is captured forever. His religion will never make any conquest among men." But after awhile the lion of the tribe of Judah will rouse himself and come forth to shake mightily the nations. What's the spiders' web to the aroused lion! ( Jive truth and error a fair grapple and truth will come off victor. But there are a great many good people who get affrighted in other respects ; they are affrighted in our day about revivals. They say: "Oh! this is a strong religious gale; we are afraid the church of God is going to be upset, and there are going to be a preat many people brought into the church that are going to be of no use to it," and thev are aflrighted whenever they see a revival taking hold of the churches. As though a ship captain, with 5,000 bushels of wheat for a cargo, should say some day, coming upon deck: "Throw overboard all the cargo," and the sailors should say: "Why, captain, what do you mean? Throw over all the cargo?" "Oh," says the captaiu, "we have a peck of chaff that has got into this 5,000 bushels of wheat, and the only way to get rid of the chaff is to throw all the wheat overboard." Now, that is a great deal wiser than the talk of a great many Christians who want to throw overboard all the thousands and tens of thousands of souls who are the subjects of revivals. Throw all overboard because they are brought into the kingdom of God through great revivals, because there is a peck of chall", a quart of chaff", a pint of chaff! I say, let them stay until the last day; the Lord will divide the chaff from the wheat. Do not lie afraid of a great revival. Oh. that such gales from heaven might sweep through all our churches ! Oh, for 6uch davs as Richard Baxter saw in England, and Robert McCheyne saw in Dundee! Oh, for such days as Jonathan Edwards saw in Northampton! I have often heard my father tell of the fact that in the early part of this century a revival broke out at Srmerville, N. J., and some people were very much agitated about it. They said: ."Oh, you are going to bring too many people into the church at once," and they sent down to New Brunswick to pet John Livingston to stop the revival. Well, there was no better bouI in all the world than John Livingston. He went and looked at the revival; they wanted him to stop it. He stoöd in the pulpit on the Sabbath and looked over the solemn auditory, and be said: "This, brethren, i in reality the work of God; beware how you try to stop it" And he was an old man, leaning heavily on his stAtf a very old man. And he lifted that stafl", and took hold of the small end of the staff, and began to let it fall slowly through between the finger and the thumb, and he said: "Oh, thou impenitent, thou art falling now falling from life, falling away from peace and heaven, falling as certainly as that cane is falling through my hand falling certainhy, though perhaps falling slowly!" And the cano kept on falling through John Livingston's hand. The religious emotion In the audience was over-

powering, and men saw a type of their doom, as the cane kept falling and falling, until the nob of the cane struck Mr. Livingston's hand, and he clasped it stoutly and said: "But the grace of God can stop you as I stopped that cane," and then there was gladness all through the house at the fact of pardon, and peace, and salvation. "Well," said the people after the service: "I guess you had better send Livingston home ; he is makinsr the revival worse." Oh, for gab s from heaven to sweep all continents! The dangerot" the church of God is not in revival. Again, my subject impressed me with the fact that Jesus was God and man in the same being. Here He is in the back part of the boat. Oh, how tired He looks; what ead dreams He must have! Look at His countenance; He must be thinking of the cross to come. Look at Him; He is a man bone of our bone, flesh of our flesh. Tired, He falls asleep; He is a man. But, then, I rind Christ at the prow of the boat ; I hear Him say: "Peace, be still," and I see the storm kneeling at His feet and the tempests folding their wings in His presence; He is God. If I have sorrow and trouble and want sympathy I go and kneel down at the back part oi the boat and say: "Oh, Christ, weary one of Gennesaret, sympathize with all my sorrows, man of Nazareth, man of the cross." A man. a man. But if I want to conquer my spiritual foes, if I want to get the victory over sin, death, and bell, I come to the front of the boat, and I kneel down, and I say: "Oh, Lord Jesus Christ, thou who dost hush the tempest, hush all my grief, hush all my temptation, huth all my sin." Aman, a man; a God, a God. I learn once more from this subject that Christ can hush a temped. It did seem as if everything must go to ruin. The disciples had given up the idea of managing the ship, the crew were entirely demoralized, yet Christ rises, and He puts His foot on the storm, and it crouches at His feet. Oh, yes! Christ can hush the tempest. You have had trouble. Perhaps it was the little child taken away from you the sweetest child of the household, the one who asked the most curious questions, and stood around you with the greatest fondness, and the spade cut down through your bleeding heart. Perhaps it was an only son, and your heart has ever 6ince been'like a desolated castle, the owls of the night hooting among the fallen arches ar.d the crumbling stairways. Perhaps it was an aged mother. You always went to her with your troubles. She was in your home to welcome vonr children into life, and when they died she was there to pity you; that old hand will do you no more kindness; that white lock of hair you put away in the casket or in the locket didn't look as it usually did when she brushed it away from her wrinkled brow in the home circle or in the country church. Or your property gone; you said : "I have so much bank stock, I have so many government securities, I have so many houses, I have so many farms all gone! all gone." Why, 6ir, all the storms that ever trampled with their thunders, all the shipwrecks, have not been worse than this to you. Yet you have not been eoinpletely'overthrown. Why? Christ 6ays: "I have that little one in my keeping. I can care for him as well as you can, better than you can, O bereaved mother!" Hushing the tempest. When your property went away, God said: "There are treasures in heaven, in banks that never break." Jesus hushing the tempest. There is one storm into which we will all have to run. The moment when we let go of this world and try to take hold of the next we will want a'l the grace possible. Yonder I see a Christian soul rocking on the surges of death; all the powers 01 darkness seem to let out against that soul the whirling wave, the thunder of the sky. the shriek of the wind, all seem to unite together; but that soul is not troubled; there is no sighing, there are no tears; plenty of tears in the room at the departure, but he weeps no tears calm, satisfied, and peaceful ; all is well. By the flash of the storm you see the harbor just ahead, and you are making for that harbor. All shall be well, Jesus being our guide. Int the harbor of heaven now we glide; We're borne at last, home at last. Softly we drift on the bright, ÜT'ry tide, We're home at last. , "Glorr to tiod! all our dangers are o'er, We stand Beetire on the glorified shore; Glory to iod ! we will shout eTcrniore, We're home at last."
