the boat would rock and by the gllllIet less of the motion putting the blaster pili9w think no sooner Is Christ prostrate nnil ills head touched the pillow than He is sound asleep The breezes of the lake run their lingers through time locks of the worn sleeper and the boat rises and falls like a sleeping child on the bosom of a sleeping mother Calm night starry night beautiful night Jinn up nil the sails ply mill the oars and let the large boat munch the small boat glide over gentle Gen ncsaret But the sailors say there is going to be a change of weather Mid even the passengers can hear the moan ¬ ing of the storm as it comes on with great stride and all the terrors of hur ¬ ricane and darkness The large boat trembles like a deer at bay among time clangor of the hounds great patches of foam arc flung into the air the sails of the vessel loosen and in the strong wind crack like pistols the smaller boats like petrels poise on the cliffs of the waves and then plunge Over ¬ board 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 caret Thou not that we perish That great personage lifts His head from the pillow of the fishermans coat walks to tile front of the vessel anti looks out into the storm All around Him are the smaller boats driven in the tempest anti through itI comes the cry of drowning men By the flash of the lightning I see the calm brow of Christ as the spray dropped from Ills heard He has one word for the sky and another for the waves Looking upward He cries Place Looking Ubwnward He says Be still ThV waves fall flat on their faces the loam melts the ex ¬ tinguished stars relicbt their torches The tempest falls steadamid Christ stands with His fookm the neck of the storm And while the sailors are btling 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 time calm Saviours countenance mind they cry out What manner of man is this that even time winds anti the sea obey Him The subject in time first place Im ¬ presses me with the fact that it is very important to have Christ in the ship for nil those boats would have gone to the bottom of Oennesaret if Christ had not been present Oh what a lesson for you anti for me to learn Whatever voyage we under take into whatever enterprise we start let us always have Christ in the ship AH you can do with utmost tension of body mind and soul yon are bound to do hut oh have Christ in every enterprise There are men who ask Gods 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 topof Mount Hermon and lash Gen nesaret into foani anti 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 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 cant help him off he must go down no Christ in the ship 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 before you lout I know If you have Christ with you nil shall be well You may seem to get nlong without the religion of Christ while mi- i 1 ri cV VJ f I VVVV I everything goes smoothly but after awhile when sorrow hovers over the soul when the waves of trial dash clear over the hurricane deck and the decks ate eroded with piratical dis ¬ astersohwhat would you do then without Christ in time ship Take loch for your portion God for your guide God for your help then nil is well nil is wen for a time nil shall be well forever Blessed is that man who puts in the Lord his trust He summIt never be confounded limit my subject also impresses me with the fact that when people start to follow Christ they must not expect smooth sailing These disciples got into time small boats and I have no doubt they said What n beautiful day this is How delightful is sailing in this haunt And as for the waves under the keel of the boat why they only make the motion of tour little lioat tin more delightful limit when the winds swept down and the semi was tossed into wrath then they found that following Christ was not smooth sailing So you have found it so I have found it lid yon ever notice the end of the life of tIme apostles of Jesus Christ You would say if ever men ought tii have had n smooth life n smooth de ¬ Pirt mire tIll those men the disciples nf lesus Christ ought to liaise hind such a departure and such a life St lames lost his head

club St Thomas was struck through with a spear ihmeydid not find following Christ smooth sailing Oh how they were all tossed in the tempest John Hnss in a fire Hugh McKail in the hour of martyrdom the Albigenscs the Waldense the Scotch Covenanters did they find it smooth sailing limit why go into history when we can draw fciini our own memory illustrations of tlmtrnlh- of what I say A young man in a store trying to serve God while his employer scoffs at Christianity the young men in the same store antagonistic to the Chris ¬ tian religion teasing him tormenting him about his religion trying to get him mad They succeed in getting him mad and say Youre 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 nnd sisters scoff at time Chris- tian ¬ religion shim can unruly find n quiet place in which to say her prayers Did site find it smooth sailing when she tried to follow Jesus Christ Oh no All who would live the life of the Christian religion must suffer persecution If you do not hitch it in one way you will get it in another way But be not disheartened Take courage You are in a glorious com ¬ panionship 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 frightened In the tones of these disciples ns they rushed into the back part offhe boat I find they are fright ¬ ened almost to death Theysay Master ellrlst Thou nol that we per- ish ¬ They had no reason to be frightened for Christ was in the boat I suppose if we hind been there we would have been just ns much af ¬ frighted Perhaps more In all ages very good
