IBERIAS. Galilee and Gennesaret j were three names : for the same lake, j It lay in a scene : of great luxuriance, j The surrounding ! hills, high, terraced, j sloping, gorged, were so many hang ing gardens of beau-; . x .K -a. K J- s ty. The streams rumbled down through rocks of grey , lime stone, and flashing from the hill- ; aide, bounded to the sea. In the time of our Lord the valleys, headlands, and j rliges were covered thickly with vege- ' tation. and. so great was the variety of ; climate, that the palm tree of the torrid and the walnut tree of rigorous climate were only a little way apart. Men in V.neyards and olive gardens were gath ering up the riches for the oil-press. The hills and valleys were starred and crimsoned with flowers, from which Christ took his text, and the disciples learned lessons of patience and trust. It seemed as if God had dashed a wave cf beauty on all the scene until it hung drippine from the rocks, the hills, the oleanders. On the back of the Lebanon ! range tbe glory of the earthly scene : was carriod up as if to set it in range : frith the hills of heaven. No other gem ever had so exquisite . a setting as beautiful Gennesaret. The waters were clear and sweet, and thick- ; ly inhabited, tempting innumerable : nets, and affording a livelihood for great : papulation?. Bethsaida. Chorazin and Capernaum stood on the bank, roaring ; with wheels of traffic and flashing with j splendid equipages, and shooting their ; vessels across the lake, bringing mer- 1 chandise for Damascus and passing ; great cargoes of wealthy product. Pleas- j ure boats cf Roman gentlemen, and j fishing smacks of the country people ' who had come down to cast a net there, j pissed each other with nod and shout ; and welcome, or side by side swung i 11W at the mooring. Palace and lux- i uriaat hzih and vineyard, tower and ! shadowy arbor, looked off from the j calm, sweet scene as the evening shad- j oas begat, to drop, and Hermon, with Its head covered with perpetual snow, i In the glow of the setting sun looked j like a white-bearded prophet ready to j ascend it a chariot of fire. I think j we shall Lave a quiet night! Not a leaf j winks in the air, or a ripple disturbs the surface cf Gennesaret. The shad- j ws of the great headlands stalk clear 1 across the water. The voices of even- ' ing-tide. how drowsily they strike the j ear the splash of the boatman's oar, i end the thumping of the captured fish i on the boat's bottom, and those inde- ! srribable sounds which fill the air at nightfall. You hasten up the beach of the lake a little way, and there you find an excitement as of an em barkation. A flotilla is pushing out from the western shore of the lake not a squadron with deadly armament; not a clipper to ply with valuable mer chandise; not piratic vessels with grap-pling-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 in the small boats following after. Christ, by the rocking of the boat and the fatigues of the preaching exercises of the day, Is induced to slumber, and I see him la the stern of the boat, with a pillow perhaps extemporized out. of a fisher man's coat, sound asleep. The breezes of the lake run their fingers through the locks of the worn-out sleeper, and on its surface "there riseth and falleth the light ship, like a child on the bosom of its sieepirg mother! Calm night. Starry night. Beautiful night. Run up all the sails, and ply all the oars, and let the boats the big boat and the small boats go gliding over gentle Gennesaret. The sai'crs prophesy a change in the weather. Clouds begin to travel up the sky and congregate. After a while, even thr- passengers hear the moan of the storm, which cornes 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 hounds. Great patches of foam are flung through the air. The loosened sails, flapping in the wind. crack like pistols. The small boats t poised on the white cliff of the driven sea tremble like ocean petrels, and then plunge into the trough with ter rific swoop until a wave strikes them with thunder-crack, and overboard go the cordage, the tackling, and the masts, and the drenched disciples ru3h Into the stern of the boat, and shout amid the hurricane, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" That great Personage lifted his head from the fisherman's coat, and walked out to the prow of the vessel, and looked upon the torm. On all sides were the small boats tossing in helplessness, and from them came the cries of drowning men. By the flash of lightning I see the calm ness of the uncovered brow of Jesus, and the spray of the sea dripping from his head. He has two words of com mand one for the wind, the otier for the sea. He looks into the tempestuous heavens, and he cries, "Peace!" and then he looks down into the infuriate waters, and he says, "Be still!" The thunders beat a retreat. The waves fall flat on their faces. The extinguished tar rekindle their torches. The foam melt. The torm is dead. And while th- crew are untangling the cordaga 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 of man i3 this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?" I learn, first, from this subject that when you are going to take a voyage of an3 kind you ought to have Christ in the ship. The fact is, that these boats would nave all gone to the bot tom if Christ had not been there. Now, you are about to voyage out into some new enterprise into some new busi ness relation; you are going to plan some great matter of profit. I hope it is so. If you are content to go along in the treadmill course and plan noth ing new, you are not fulfilling your mission. What you can do by the ut most tension of body, mind, and soul, that you are bound to do. You have no right to be colonel of a regiment if God calls you to command an army. You have no right to be stoker in a steamer if God commands you to be admiral of the navy. You have no right to engineer a ferry-boat from river j bank to river bank if God commands j you to engineer a Cunarder from New j York to Liverpool. But whatever en- i terprise 5011 undertake, and upon what- 1 ever voyage you start, be sure to take ; Christ in the ship. Here are men large- I ly prospered. The seed of a small en- j terprise grew into an accumulated and ; overshadowing success. Their cup of j prosperity is running over. Every day 1 sees a commercial or a mechanical tri- : umph. Yet they are not puffed up. 1 They acknowledge the God who grows the harvests, and gives them all their : prosperity. When disaster comes that j destroys others, they are only helped j into higher experiences. The coldest j winds that ever blew down from snow- j capped Hermon and tossed Gennesaret ' into foam and agony could not hurt j them. Let the winds blow until they crack their cheeks; let the breakers boom all Is well, Christ is in the ship. Here are other men, the prey of uncer- ; tainties. 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 the sea is smooth; but they cannot out ride a storm. After awhile the packet is tossed abeam's end, and It seems aa if she must go down with all the cargo. Push out from the shore 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 voy age in life will be a mingling of sun shine and of darkness, of arctic blast and of tropical tornado. You will have many a long, bright day of prosperity. The sky is clear, the sea smooth. The crew exhilarant. The boat staunch will bound merrily over the billows. Crowd on all the canvas. Heigh, ho! Land ahead! But suppose that sick ness puts its cup to your lips; suppose misfortune with some quick turn of the wheel, hurls you backward; sup pose that the wave of trial strikes you ath wart-ships, and bowsprit shivered, and halliards swept into the sea, and gangway crowded with piratical dis asters, and the wave beneath, and the sky above, and the darkness around are filled with the clamor of the voices of destruction. Oh! then you will want Christ in the ship. I learn, in the next place, that people who follow Christ must not always ex pert smooth sailing. When these dis ciples got into the small boats they 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 the 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 yon have found out and I have found out. If there are any people who you think ought to have a good time in getting out of this world, the apostles of Jesus Christ ought to have b?en the men. Have you ever noticed hovr they got out of the world? St. James lost his head. St. Phillip was hung to death against a pillar. St. Matthew was struck to death by a halberd. St. Mark was dragged to death through tin streets. St. James the Lera had hi& 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 the fire, the Albi genses, the Waldenses, the Scotch Cov enanters 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 clerks laugh at him. the employers in that store laugh at him; and when he loses his patience they say: "You are a pretty Christian." Not so easy is it for tnat young man to follow Christ. If the Lord did not help him hour by hour he would fail. There are scores of young men today who would be willing to testify that in following Christ one does not always find smooth sailing. There is a Christian girl. In her home they do not like Christ. She has hard work to get a 6ilent place in which to say her prayers. Father opposed to re ligion. Mother opposed to religion. Brothers and sisters opposed to re ligion. The Christian girl does not al ways find it smooth sailing when she tries to follow Jesus. But be of good heart. As seafarers, when winds are dead ahead, by setting the ship on star board 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 the winds had been abaft, they might have rocked and eung you to sleep, and while dreaming of the destined port of heaven you could not have heard the cry of warn ing and would have gone crashing into the breakers. Again, my subject teaches me that good people sometimes get very much frightened. From the tone and man ner of these disciples as they rushed into the stern of the vessel and woke Christ up, you know that they are fear fully scared. And so it is now that you often find good people wildly agi tated. "Oh!" says some Christian man, "the infidel magazines, the bad news papers, the spiritualistic societies, the importation of many foreign errors, the church of God Is going to be lo3t, the ship is going to founder! The ship is going down!" What are you fright ened about? An old Hon 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 cav ern, and say: "That lion cannot break out through this web," and they keep on spinning the gossamer threads until they get the mouth of the cavern cov ered over. "Now," they say, "the lion's done, the lion's done." After awhile the 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 skep tics of this day go on spinning theories, spinning them all over the place where Christ seems to be sleeping. They say: "Christ can never again come out; tho work is done; he can never get through this logical web we have been spin ning." The day will come when the Lion of Judah's tribe will arouse him self and come forth and shake mighti ly the nations. What then all your gos samer threads? What is a spider's web to an aroused loin? Do not fret, then, about the world's going backward. It is going forward. You stand on the banks of the sea when the tide is rising. The almanac says the tide is rising, but the wave comes up to a certain point, 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 up a little higher, 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 the tide is going out. Next year it comes up 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." Again, I learn from this subject that Christ is God and man in the same per son. I go Into the back part of that boat and I look on Christ's sleeping face, and see ii that face the storj of sorry and weariness, and a deep shad ow 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, 3nd the sea kneels at his pres ence, and the winds fold their wings at his command, I say: "He is God! He is God!" The hand that set up the starry pillars of the universe wiping away the tears of an orphan! When I want pity and sympathy, I look at him, and I say: "O Lord Jesus, thou weary One. thou suffering One, have mercy on me." "Ecce homo!" Behold the man! But when I want courage for the conflict of life, wheri 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, 0 Christ, thou who couldst hush the storm, can hush all my sor rows, all my temptations, all my fears." "Ecce Deus!" Behold the God! There is one storm Into which we must all run. When a man lets go this life to take hold of the next, I do not eare how much grace he has, he will want it all. What Is that out yon der? That is a dying Christian rocked on the surges 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 kindred seems to mingle with the swirl of the waters, and the scream of the wind, and the thunder of the sky. Deep to dep. billow to billow; yt no tremor, no gloom, no terror, no sighing for the dying Christian. The fact 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 castles voices of wel come 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. Religion and Reform.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON I. OCT. G "THE TIME OF THE JUDGES" Golden Text: "The Lord Raised Up Jndgres Which ' Delivered Them" Judges 216 Partial Conquest and the Consequences Thereof. NTItODUCTORY : This section in cludes the first five chapters of Judges. The name of the book is derived from the fact that it is a record of the doings of the Judges. Its author is unknown, but whoever wrote and .compiled this history, doubtless used records made about the time the events took place. According to Jewish tra dition the author was Samuel.. The period covered by the book foots up 2S0 years, 1427-1146 B. C. Samuel was born in 1146. The book is not a continuous story, but a grouping of important events, The Judges formed temporary heads in particular centers, or over par ticular groups of tribes Barak, in the north of Israel, Gideon in the center, Jephthah, on the east of Jordan, Sam son, in the extreme southwest. Never theless, the judges are represented as exercising jurisdiction over Israel as a whole. Time. The date of the meet ing at Bochim (vs. 1-5) is unknown. Joshua died about B. C. 1425. The re mainder of the lesson is a general view .of the period of the judges. Place. Bochim, probably near Shiloh, wherf the tabernacle was set tip (Josh. 18: 1), and which was the religious capital. Joshua died at Timnath-serah, a few miles south of Shechem. 1. And an Angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal. to Bochim. and said. I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. 2. And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars, but ye have not obeyed my voice. Why have ye done this? 3. Wherefore I also said. I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns In your sldes, and their gods shall be a snare (tempter) unto you. 4. And it came to pass, when the Angel of the Lord spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice and wept. 3. And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the Lord. 6. And when Joshua had let the peo ple go. the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land. 7. And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord, that he did for Israel. 8. And Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being a hundred and ten years old. 9. And they burled him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash. Note 1. That their duty was to drive the Canaanites wholly out of the land and to take full possession at the be ginning. It was best that they should not be annihilated at once before the Israelites could take possession (Deut. 7: 22), lest the wild beasts increase toe PILLAR OF ASHTOROTH. fast in the wild lands; but the Israelites should have continued the warfare till the land was possessed only by God's own people (Deut. 7: 23). Note 2. This was the easiest time to accomplish this work. The Canaanites were scattered, discouraged, broken in strength, and with God's aid could have been easily overcome. Note 3. Since the Israelites had not done this, the next best thing for them was a course of discipline by means of their sins. When they refused the di vine teacher and his lessons of victory, courage, heroism, fidelity, then they mustt go to school to a different and severer teacher, and from annoyances, temptations, dangers, and evil men gain discipline and learn the lessons of obedience and righteousness. On ac count of their neglect, they were led into idolatry and other sins, and werf troubled for a thousand years. A thorough conquest at first would have saved them ages of suffering and sin ning. PLAIN TALK. (From Ram's Horn.) Nine people out of ten work too much and pray too little. The wisest men have never in any age been the best men. Everything we do will be great when it is what God wants done. ' The Christian who does not walk by faith will have many falls. j Before Jesus offered rest to mn, he showed that he had rest to give. Christ went without sleep to; pray, hut he never lost any sleep in wovry. BAAL- Yf 1 uis&& JKFF. IAVIS IX PRISON J Charles S. Tripler' Story of Ills Pleasant Life at Fort Monroe. From the San Francisco Alta. I was in 18G5 First Lieutenant in the Twelfth United States Infantry, and in the absence of my Captain, commanded E Comjjany of the First Battalion of that regiment. Early in October I was ordered to Fort Monroe, and reported for duty to Gen. N. A. Miles. My rank as Lieutenant sub jected me to detail as oflicer of the guard, as such I had for the twenty four hours ot my detail immediate charge of our distinguished prisoner, my orders being "not to allow him out of my sight during my tour, of duty." Mr. Davis was confined to a room in Carroll Hall, which was designed as quarters for Lieutenants, who are en titled to two rooms only, so all the rooms, except, the mess hall and li brary, are in Miitesof two rooms each. The doorways were all grated with iron, and a t-entry walked before each on a pile of cocoa matting some four inches thick. The ollicer of the guard was not allowed to leave the room unless relieved by the officer of the day, nor to slwp at all during his twenty-four hours of duty. The grated windows were lock ed, the keys being in tho custody of the officer of the day. As was the custom on my first day of duty as officer of tho cuard I was introdured by my predecessor to Mr. Davis, thus: "Mr. Davis, Mr. Tripler of the Twelfth. Mr. Davis said: "Are you Stuart Trip ler?" I said: "Yes, sir." He then said he remembered my grandmother (Mrs. Hunt) .and had very pleasant recollections of my fattier (Surgeon Tripler of the army). We had that first day no further conversation un til the time came for his daily walk around the parapet. At that tin e the officer of the day came accompan ied by two negro prisoners, unlocked the door, when Mr. Davis, dressed in snufT-colored clothes, with a Kaglan overcoat and a soft, hih crowned, black felt hat, stepped into my room, (en. Miles entered at this time with the daiiv papers, which were placed on a table in Mr. D.'s room. The prison ers commenced at once to clean up the room, and we left in the following or der: Mr. Davis and officers of the guard, ten paces behind two sentries, a couple of paces behind them the of ficer of the day, and lastly, pome dis tance off, (Jen. Miles strolled along reading. We took our time, and Mr. Davis, by his instructive and most enter taining conversation, rendered this a most delightful duty. He seemed to know everything. He had the unusu al faculty of drawing ayoungmanout and making him show his best side. We would sometimes stop abreast of the water battery, in front of thecom manding officers' quarters, and recline on the crest of the works, where he would relate pleasant stories of the old army, ask after common friends, and often give me points in my pro fession which were invaluable. To show how small a matter he would notice and speak of, there were a number of trees growing along one of the fronts of casements which bore clusters of white berries. Mr. Da vis said: "Lieut. Tripler, I paw you riding a nice-looking horse the other lay, but it is out of condition. Tho.e berries you see there are one of tli-'best condition medicines I know of. and you can find them all over the South; remember that; it's worth" knowing." On our return Dr. Cooper's servant came in with Mr. Davis lunch. All his meals were supplied from Dr. Cooper's table, and Mrs. Cooper Avas a notable housewife,' and the markets of Fort Monroe were well supplied; you may be ure Mr. Davis did not suffer. The only re quest ho ever made me during the time I was stationed there was to bring him a few apples each time I came on guard, which I did. I rather think he asked me for the sake of letting me think I was doing him a favor in return for las exceeding kindness to my grand mother when he was secretary of war. He could make a request in such a w ay that you felt he had conferred a favor on you in preferring it. ( ('. Clay was confined in the rooms directly beneath Mr. Davis, but had Mrs. Clay with him, and was not guarded as Mr. Davis was. Mrs. Clay used to send sometimes a pitcher of punch to Mr. Davis. My orders not forbidding it, the pitcher was always passed in, Mr. Da vis was supplied with good cigars by his friends. 1 know they were good, because I . Davis re marked that "smokers are gregarious and I can't enjoy a cigar alone," and ollered me one nearly every night, after he had assumed his most satanic looking night robes he wore a red flannel nightgown, cap and drawers. He was never annoyed, insulted, or worried during his stay. Gen. Miles was coldly civil, and others "officially polite." I, perhaps, and as was natural, was more kindly disposed, but I never exceeded my instructions. I think Mr. Davis will himself give the lie to the exaggerated accounts of his sufferings. Imprisonment is not pleasant under the most favorable circumstances, and no fallen chief of a great movement could have expected or received more considerate treatment than did Mr. Davis.
