Bhooklyx, Juno 5. Tho Rev. T. De Witt
Talmac, D.D., preached in tho Tabernacle
this morning a sermon entitled "The
Tempest." Service Logan with the exioiii
tion of appropriate passnges of Scripture, af
ter which tho great con'gation sang the
hymn:
"lli-aven in my fatherland.
lleuveu is my home."
The text way Mark iv, CO-SI), describing
Christ KtilliiiK the tempest. Ho said:
Tileria.s, Galileo, Oetmosaret three names
for tho same lake. No other gem ever had so
leautif ul a sotting. It lay in a scene of great
luxuriance: the surrounding hills liigb, ter
raced, nloiod, proved, so many hanging gar
dons of beauty, the waters rumbling down
l)otween rocks of gray and red limestone,
flashing from tho bills and bounding into the
boo. On tbe shore were castles, armed towers,
Roman baths, every thing attractive and
beautiful; all styles of vegetation in shorter
upaeo than in almost any other space in all
tho world, from tho palm tree of tho forest to
tho trees of rigorous climate.
It seemed as if the Lord had launched one
wave of beauty on all the scone, and it hung
and swung from rock and hill and oleander.
Roman gentlemen in pleasure boat sailing
tho lake, and countrymen in fish smacks com
ing down to drop their nets, pass each other
with nod and shout and laughter, or swinging
idly at their moorings. Oh, what a wonder
ful, what a lx'antiful lake!
It seems as if wo shall have a quiet night.
Not a leaf winked in tho air; not a ripple dis
turbed tho face of Oennesaret; but there
seems to Ixs a littlo excitement up the beach,
and wo hasten to see what it is, and wo find it
nn embarkation.
From tho western shore a flotilla push
Ins: out. not a snuadron, or deadly arma
ment, nor clipper with valuablo merchandise,
nor piratic vessels ready to destroy every
thing they could seize, but a flotilla bearing
messengers of lifo and light and ienee,
Christ is in the front of tho boat. His dis
ciples are in a smaller boat. Jesus, weary
with much speaking to large multitudes, is
put into somnolence by tho rocking of tho
waves. If there was any motion at all the
ship was easily righted; if tho wind passed
from starlKMird to larboard, or from larboard
to starboard, tho boat would rock, and by the
gentleness of tho 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 tho
pillow, than ho is sound asleep. The breezes
of tho lake run their fingers through tho locks
of tho worn sleejer, and the boat rises and
falls like a sleeping child ou tho bosom of a
sleeping mother.
Calm night, starry night, beautiful night.
Run up all the sails, ply all tho ours, and let the
largo boat and the small boat glide over
gentle Gennesaret. But the sailors say there
it going to be a change of weather. And
even the passengor3 can hear tho moaning of
tho storm, as it comes on with great stride,
and all tho terrors of hurricane and darkness.
Tho largo boat trembles like a deer at bay
among the clangor of tho hounds; great
patches of foam are flung into the air; the
sails of tho vessel loosen, and the sharp winds
crack liko pistols; tho smaller boats, like pe
trels, poise on the clifl of the waves and then
plunge.
Overboard go cargo, tackling and masts,
and the drenched disciples rush into tho back
part of the boat, and lay hold of Christ, and
say unto him: "Master, carest thou not
that wo perish r That great personage lifts
his head from tho pillow of tho fisherman's
coatr walks to the front of the vessel, aud
looks out into the s.1x)rm. All around him
are the smaller boats, driven in tho tempest
and through it comes the cry of drowning
men. Bv tho flash of the lightning I see the
calm brow of Christ as tho spray dropped
from his beard. He has one word for tho
eky and another for the waves. Looking up
ward he cries: "Peace." Looking down
ward he says: "Bo still."
The waves fall flat on their faces, the foam
melts, tho extinguished stars relight their
torches. Tho 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 tho disciples stand in amazement
now lookinsr into the calm sea, then into the
calm sky, then into tho calm Saviour's coun
tenance, and they cry out: "What manner
of man is this, that even the winds and the
sea obey him?"
The subject in the hrsc place impresses mo
with the fact that it is very important to
have Christ with the ship; for all those boats
would have gone to the bottom of Gennesaret
if Christ had not been present. Oh, what
lesson for you and for mo to learn! "We
must always have Christ in the ship. What
ever voyage we undertake, into whatever en
terprise we start, let us always have Christ in
the ship. Many of 5-0U in these days of re
vived commerce are starting out in new
financial enterprises. I bid you good cheer.
Do all you can do. Do it on as high a plane
as possible. You have no right to be a stoker
in the ship if you can be an admiral of the
navv. You have no right to be a colonel of
a. regiment if you can command a brigade;
you have no right to be engineer of a boat on
river banks or near the coast if you can take
the ocean steamer from New York to Liver
pool. All you can do with utmost tension of
body, mind and soul, you are bound to do;
but oh! have Christ in every enterprise,
Christ in every voyage, Christ in every ship.
There are men here who ask God to help
them at the start of great enterprises. Ho
has been with them in the past; no trouble
can overthrow them; the storms might como
down from the top of Mount Hermon and
lash Gennesaret 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 a while the storm comes and
tosses off tho masts of the ship; he puts out
bis lifeboat and the long boat; the sheriff and
tho auctioneer try to help bun off; they can't
help him off; he must go down; no Christ in
the ship. Here are young men just starting
out in life. Your life will be made up of sun
shine and shadow. There may be in it arc
tic blasts or tropical tornadoes; I know not
what is before you, but I know if you have
Christ with you all shall be well.
You may seem to get along without the re
ligion of Christ while 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 are crowded with piratical disasters,
oh, what would you do then without
Christ in tho ship? Young man, take God
for your portion, God for your guide, God for
your help then all is well; all is wed for
time ; all shall be well forever. Blessed is that
man who puts in the Lord his trust. Ho shall
never bo confounded.
But my subject also impresses mo with tb
fact that when people trtart to follow Christ
they must not exjx-t smooth Bailing.
These disciples got into the small boats, anl
I have no doubt they said: "What a beautiful
day this is! What a smooth sea! V hat a
bright bky this is! How delightful is sailing
in this boat! and as for the waves under tho
keel of the boat, why, they only make tho
motion of cur littlo lxat the more delightful."
But when tho winds swept down and tho sea J
was tossed into wrath, then they found that j
following Christ was not smooth sailing, fco
you have found it; so I have found it. Did
you ever notice tho end or tho lire or mo
apostles of Jesus Christ? You would Fay if (
ever men ought to have had a smooth life, a
smooth departure, then those men, tho dis
ciples of Jesus Christ, ought to have had such
a departure and such a life.
St. James lost his head. St. 1'hilip was
mng to death on a pillar. St. Matthew had
his lifo dashed out with a halbert. St. Murk
was dragged to death through tho streets. St.
James the Less was beaten to death wilh 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 with tho tempest! Jotn 1 1 ass in tho
fire; IIughMcKail in the hour of martyrdom;
tho Albigenses, the Waldenses, tho Scotch
Covenanters did they find it smooth sailing?
But why goto history when I can come into
this audience to-day and find a score of illus
trations of the truth of this subject. That
young man in tho storo trying to servo God,
while his employer scolis at Christianity, the
young men m tho same 6tcro antagonistic
to the Christian religion, teasing him,
tormenting him about his religion, trying
to get him mad. They succeed in getting
him mad, saying: "You're a pretty Chris
tian." Does this young man find it smooth
sailing when he tries to follow Christ? Hero
is a Christian girl. Her father despises tho
Christian religion; her mother despises tho
Christian religion; her brothers and sisters
scoff at the Christian religion; she can hardly
find a quiet place in which to say her prayers.
Did she find it smooth sailing when she tried
to follow Jesus Christ? Oh, no! All who
would live tho life of the Christian religion
must suffer jersecution. If you do not find
it in one way you will get it in another way.
Tho question was asked: "H ho are thoso
nearest the throne? ' ami tho answer camo
back: "These are they who came up out of
great tribulation;" great flailing, as tho
original has it; great flailing, great pounding,
"and had their robes washed and made white
in tho blood of tho lamb." Oh, do not bo
disheartened! Oh, child of God! take cour
age. You are in glorious companionship.
God will see you through all these trials, and
he will deliver j-ou.
My subject also impresses me with tho fact
that good people sometimes get very much
frightened.
In tho tones of these disciples as they
rushed into the back part of the boat, I rind
they are frightened almost to death. They
say: "Master, carest thou not that we per
ish?" They had no reason to be frightened,
for Christ was in the boat. I supyoso if wo
had been there wo would have been just as
much affrightened. Perhaps more.
In all ages very good people get very much
affrightened. It is often so in our day, and
men say: "Why, look at the bad lectures;
look at tho spiritualistic societies; look at the
various errors going over the church of God ;
we aro going to founder; the church is going
to perLh; sho is going down." Oh, how
many good peoplo are affrightened by in
iquity in our day, and think tho church of
Jesus Christ is going to be overthrown, and
are just as much affrightened as were the dis
ciples 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. Ho lies
down, with his shaggy mane covering tho
paws. Meanwhile the spiders spin a web
across the mouth of the cavern, and say:
" We have captured him." Gossamer thread
after gossamer thread is spun until the whole
front of the cavern is covered w'ith the
spiders' web, and the spiders say: "Tho lion
is done; the lion is fast" After awhile the
lion has got through sleeping; he rouses him
self, he shakes his mane, he walks out into
tho sunlight; he does not even know the
spiders' web is spun, and with his voice he
shakes tho mountain.
So men come spinning their sophistries and
skepticisms about Jesus Christ; he seeni3 to
bo sleeping. They say: "We have captured
tho Lord ; he will never come forth again
upon the nation; Christ is captured forever.
His religion will never make any conquest
among men." But after a while the Lion of
the tribe of Judah will rouse himself and
come forth to shake mightily the nations.
What's a spider's web to the aroused lion?
Give truth and error a fair grapple, and
truth will come off victor.
But there are a great many good people
who get affrightened in other respects; they
are affrightened 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 great
many people brought into the church that are
going to be of no use to it ;" and they are
affrightened whenever they see a revival
taking hold of the churches.
As though a ship captain with 5,000 bushels
of wheat for a cargo would say, some day,
coming upon deck: "Throw overboard all
cargo;" and the sailors would say: "Why, cap
tain, what do you mean? Throw over all the
cargo?" "Oh," says the captain "we have a
peck of chaff that has got into this 5,000
bushels of wheat, and tho only way to get rid
of the chaff is to throw all the wheat over
board." 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 sub
jects of revivals. Throw all overboard be
cause they are brought into the kingdom of
God through great revivals; because there is
a peck of chaff, a quart of chaff, a pint of
chaff! I say let them stay until the last day;
The Lord will divide the chaff from tho wheat.
Do not be afraid of a great revival.
Oh, that these gales from heaven might
8 weep through all our churches! Oh, for such
days 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 Somervillo,
N. J., and some people were very much agi
tated about it. They said: "Oh, you are
going to bring too many people into tho
church at once;" and they sent down to New
Brunswick to get John Livingston to stop tho
revival.
Well, there was no better soul in all tho
world than John Livingston. He went and
looked at the revival; they wanted him to
stop it. He stood in tho pulpit on the Sab
bath and looked over the solemn auditory and
ho said: "This, brethren, is in reality tho
work of God; beware how you try to stop it."
And ho was an old man, leaning heavily on
his staff a very old man. And he lifted that
staff, and took hold of the small end of the
staff and began to let it fall very slowly
through between the finger and the thumb,
and he said: "Oh, though impenitent, thou
art falling now falling away from life, fall
ing away from peace and heaven, fall
ing as certainly as that cane is fall
ing through my band falling certainly,
though perhaps falling slowly." And the cano
kept on falling through John Livingston's
bond. The religious emotion inihe audience
was overpowering, and men saw n typo ot
their doom as the cano kept falling and fall
ing until the knob of tho cano struck Mr. Liv
ingston's hand, and ho clasjKsd it stoutly and
said, "But tho grace of God can top you as I
stopped that cane;" and then there was glad
ness all through the house at tho fact of par
don and peace and salvation. "Well,"6aid
tho jxiople. af tcr tho service, "I guess you had
better 6end Livingston homo; ho is making
tho revival worse." Oh, for tho gales from
heaven and Christ on loard the ship! Tho
danger of tho church of God is not in revi
vals. Again, my subject impresses mo with the
fact that Jesus was God and man in the samo
leing. Hero ho is in tho back part of the
boat. Oh, how tired ho looks; what sad
dreams he must have! Look at his counte
nance; ho must be thinking of tho cross to
come. Ix)k at him ; ho is a man bono of
our bono, flesh of our flesh. Tired, ho falls
asleep; he is a man. But then I Ibid Christ
at the prow of tho boat; I hear him say,
"Peuce, be still;" and I see tho storm kneeling
at his feet and tho tempests folding their
wings in his presence; ho is u God.
If I havo sorrow and trouble and want
sympathy I go and kneel down at the back
part of tho boat and say: "O Christ, weary
ono of Gennesaret, sympathize with all my
sorrows, man of Nazareth, man of tho 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 hell, I come to the front
of tho boat and I kneel down and I say: "O
Loril Jesus Christ, thou who dost hush tho
tempest, hush all my grief; hush all my
temptation; hush all my sin." A man, a
man; a God, a God.
I learn once more from this subject that
Christ can hush a tempest.
It did seem as if everything must go to
ruin. Tho disciples had given up tho idea cf
managing the ship; the crew were entirely
demoralized; yet Christ rises, and he puts his
foot on tho storm ami it crouches at his feet.
Oh, yes, Christ can hush tho tempest.
You have had trouble. Perhaps it was the
littlo child taken away from you the sweet
est child of the household, tho ono who asked
the most curious questions, and stood arouni
you with the greatest fondness, and the spado
cut down through your bleeding heart. Per
haps it was an only son, and your heart has
ever since been like a desolated castle, tho
owl3 of tho night hooting among tho falling
arches and tho crumbling stairways.
Perhaps it was an aged mother. You al
ways went to her with your trubles. She
was in your homo to welcome your children
into life, and when they died sho was there to
pity you; the old hand will do you no more
kindness; that white lock of hair you put
away in tho casket, or in tho locket, didn't
look as it usually did when sho 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 se
curities, I have so many houses, 1 have so
man- farms" all gone, all gone.
Why, sir, all tho storms that ever trampled
their thunders, all the shipwrecks have not
been worso than this to 'Ou. Yet you have
not been completely overthrown. Why?
Christ hushed the tempest. Your little one
was taken away. Christ saj's: "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 tho tempest.
When your property went away God said:
"There are treasures in heaven, in banks that
never break." Jesus hushing the tempest.
There is ono storm into which we will all
havo to run. Tho moment when we let go of
thi3 life, and try to tako hold of the next, wo
will want all tho grace possible. Yonder I
seo a Christian soul rocking on tho surges of
death ; all the powers of darkness seem let out
against that soul the swirling wave, the
thunder of tho Sky, tho shriek of tho 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 de
parture, but he weeps 110 tears, calm, satis
fied, peaceful; all is well. "By tho flash of
tho storm you see tho harbor just ahead, and
you are making for that harbor. All shall
be well, Jesus hushing tho tempest.
'"Into tho harbor of heaven now we glide;
We're home at last, home at last.
Softly we drift on its bright, silv'ry tide,
VWre home at last.
Glory to God! all our clangers are o'er.
We stand secure on the glorified shore;
Glory to God ! we will shout evermore,
We're home at last."

Charges of Plagiarism.
Mr. IL Rider Haggard notes that charges
of plagiarism are easy to make and difficult to
disprove; that it is quite impossible for any
body to write anything that does not in some
way touch on ground which has been already
trodden by others; that the human mind
never thinlr. a new thought, and that tho
most it can do is to present an old one in a
new aspect.' Harper's Bazar.
