The 3.1] creatures were created solely for his use, and thst those which do not come within the sphere of that use represent so much waste of divine energy, 1: seems unreason- able to believe. We do not know the nature and extent of that divine purpose, and not knowing it, it is unwise if not arrogant, to assume that in crestiug anyâ€" thing the divine mind had in View but one exclusive purpose. The not infrequent spectacle on the streets of worn out, or thoroughly exhnmt- As for the justification of acertain degree of cruelty on the ground that all the lower animals were created for the use of man, it is doubtful whether it can be made to accord with what we know of the divine purpose. No doubt where it is a question of life,man has all right: as against animals, but that the lower animals were created solely for man’s benefit is by no means so clear. There are animals of which man knows nothing, and others which have, 2mppaa'ently, been placed by the Creator in localities where they can seldom be seen. In neither of these cases can they be said ed horses drawing loads almost beyond their strength, and the indifference with which it is regarded, is evidence of the hardening efi'ect of cruelty upon society. The more extreme forms of brutality to the dumb creation are, happily, no longer tolerated, pity, and the desire of society to follow the higher instincts of its own nature having prompted vigorous measures for their prohibition. But the other than sentimental aspects of the matterâ€"the facts that the exhibition of cruelty of any kind is more harmful to the community than the individual suffering inflicted, in that it hampers the true education of the soul, and that man owes obligations to animals, have not yet been fully recognized. It is true that many excellent people reject the latter view, holding both that man has no duties towards the lower animals, and that as against him the brute creation has no rights. Cruelty to animals is to be condemned, not because of its in- justice to them, but only because of its evil efl'ect on men’s own nature. Still another class believes that as all created things were made {or the reasonable use of man, he may rightly inflict upon them any amount of suffering necessary to such use. It is ditlicult to reconciie the former of these assumptions with any correct defini- tion of cruelty. For cruelty,it should be re. membered,isnot merely the infliction of un necessary pain or torture, but its infliction upoc,ecreature on which,” astrict matter of ustice, we have no right to inflict it. It goes beyond individual suffering and pain and includes the violation of the obligation we owe to a creature which we have brought into friendly relations with ourselves, and which is powerless to defend itself against III. Justice thus enters into the account: â€"â€"the rights. natural and acquired, which the creature has as against men and the duties the man owes in view of these rights. Belaam was rebuked for injustice to his use, the implication thus being that there to have been creamed for the use of man, for to be of use they must. have come within the sphere of his life and action. For the creatioa of both these classes of animals as Ina something in the animal to which he could be unjust, that something being plainly the right to kind treatment which ‘t had acquired by faithful service. The wrong of Balaam’a cruelty, then, was not alone in being false to his own higher nature in inflicting unnecessary eufi'ering, but also in being false to the duty he owed to his beast. Precisely the same cruelty is shown in beating a horse exhausted by its toil. us in beating a. child exhausted by its studies. In neither case is the ground of cruelty the sin against the beater-’5 nature, but the Violation of the obligation which he owes to the creature on which the cruelty is inflicted. At the same time, the effect of cruelty in dwarfing the nature of it’ perpetrator,and in hluutz' ng the sensibilities and deflecting the judgment of those who see it, is much moge disaazroue than 18 gen- erally recognized.j VOL 11- NO 43. lmpudent Professionals.

The extinguished stare rekindled their torches. The foam melts. The storm is "dead. And while the crew are untengling the oordego end the The sailors prophesy a change in the weather. Clouds begin to travel up the sky and congregate. After awhile even the passengers hear the moon of the storm, which coznes on with rapid strides and with all the terrors of hurricane and dark- ness. The boat, caught in the sudden fury, trembles like a deer at bay, amid the wild clsngor of the hounds. Great patches of foam are flung through the air. The loosen- ed sails, flapping in the wind, crack like pistols. The small boats, poised on the white cliff of the driven sea, tremble like ocean patrols, and then plunge into the trough with terrific swoop until a wave strikes them with thunder crack, and over- board go the cordage, the tackling and the masts, and the drenched disciples rush into the stern of the boat and shout amid the hurricane. " Master, cerest thou not that we perish?" That great Parsonage lifted his head from the fisherman’s cost and wslked but to the prow of the vessel and looked upon the storm. On All sides were the small boats tossing in helplessness and from them came the cries of drowning men. By the flesh of lightning I see the calmness of the uncovered brow of Jesus end the spray of the see dripping from_his heard. No other gem ever had so exquisite a setting as beautiful Gennessret. The waters were clear and sweet. and thickly inhabited, tempting innumerable nets and sffordinga livelihood for great populations. Bethsaida, Chorazin end Cspernaum stood on the bank, roaring with wheels of traffic and flashing with splendid equipages, and shooting their vessels across the lake, bringing merchandise for Damascus and passing great cargoes of' wealthy product.

Palace and luxuriant both and vineyard, tower and shadowy arbor. look- ed on upon the calm. sweet scene as the evening shadows began to drop, and Her- mon 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 tire. 1 think we shall have a quiet night! Not a leaf winks in the air or a ripple disturbs the surface of Gennesaret. The shadows of the great headlands stalk clear across the water. The voices of evening tide, how drcwsily they strike the ear; the splash of the boat- man’s our and the thumping of the captur- ed fish on the boat’s bottom, and these indescribable scunds which fill the air at nightfall. You hasten up the beach of the lake alittle way, and there you find an excitement as of an embarkation. A flotilla is pushing out from the western shore of the lakeâ€"not a squadron with deadly armament, not a clipper to ply with valuable merchandise, not pirate vessels with grappling hooks to hug to death whatever they could seize, but a. flotilla laden with messengers oi 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 in- duced to slumber, and I see him in the stern of the boat, with a pillow perhaps extemporised out of a fisherman’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 fellet‘n the light ship like a child ‘on the bosom of its steeping mother.

REV. DR. TALMAGE’S LESSON OF THE INCIDENT OF THE SEA OF GALILEE. NEW YORK, Sept~ '2‘2.â€"In his sermon for 30-day Rev. Dr. Talmage discourses on a dramatic incident. during the Saviour’s life among the Galilean fishermen and draws from it a striking lesson for the men and women of the present. day. The subject was “Rough Sailing,” and the text Mark iv. 36, 37. “And there was also with him other little ships, end there krone a great storm of wind.” (‘hrln flushing the Tempestâ€"Necessity for Christ on the Raugh Voyage of Life â€"Nothlng to be Frightened Aboutâ€"The World Moves. Tiberias, Galilee and-Gennesaret were three names for the same lake. It lay in a scene of great luxuriance. The surround- .ng hills, high, terraced, sloping. gorged. were so many hanging gardens of beauty. The streams rumbled down through rocks of gray and red limestone, and flashing from the hillsides 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 clzmute that the palm tree of the torrid nd the walnut tree of rigorous climate were only a little way apart. Men in vineyards and olive gardens were gathering 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 of beauty on all the scene until it hung dripping from the rocks, the bills, the oleanders. 'Ou the back of the Lebanon range the glory of the earthly scene was carried up as if to set in range with the hills of heaven. I! Again, my subject, teaches me that good people sometimes-get very much frightened. From the Lone and manner of these disciples as they rushed into the stern of the vessel and woke Christ up, you know that they are fearfully scared. And so it, is now that. you often hnd good people wildly agitated. “ ()h 1" says some Christian men, “ the infidel magazines, the bad newspapers, the spiritusiiuic societies, the importation of so many foreiqn errors, the church of God is going to be lost. the ship is going to founder. ‘ The ship is going down. "’ What. are you frightened about? An old lion goes into his cavern to take a. sleep, and he lies down until his shaggy mnne coversbia paws. Meanwhile the spiders outside begin to spin webs over the mouth of the cavern and any, " The: lien cannot. break out through this 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, and the employers in that store laugh at him. and when he loses his patiâ€" ence they say, “ You are a pretty Chris- tian.” Not so easy is it for that young man to follow Christ. If the lard did not help him, hour by hour, he would fail. There are scores of 1 _oun; men to- day who would be willing to testify that 111 follow- ing Christ one does not always find smooxn sailings. There is a Christian girl. in her home they did not like Christ. She has hard Work to get a silent place in which tosny her prayers. Bather opposed to religion. Mother opposed to reliyrion. Brothers and sisters opposed to religion. The Christian girl does not always find it smooth sailing when she tries to follow Jesus. But be of good heart. As sea- farers, when winds are dead ahead, by setting the ship on starboard tack and bracing the yards, make the winds that oppose the course propel the ship iornard, so opposing troubles through Christ, veer- ing around the buwsprit of faith, will wait you to heaven, when, if the Winds had been shaft, they might have rocked and sung you to sleep, and while dreaming of the destined port of heaven you could not have heard the cry of warning and would have gone crashing into the breakers. cables and bailing out the water from the hold of the ship,thediaciples stand wonder- struck, now gazing into the calm son now gazing into the calm face of Jeans and whispering one to another: “ What manner of man is this, thnt even the grinds and the sea obey him ?” I :learn, first. from this subject that when you are going to take a voyage of any kind you ought to have Christ in the 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 enterpriseâ€"into some new business 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 tread- irill course and plan nothing new, you are not fulfilling your mission. What you can do by the utmost 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 ferryboat from river bank to river bank if God commands you to engineer aCunarder from New ': ork to Liverpool. But what- ever enterprise you undertake, and upon whatever voyage you start, he sure to take Christ in the ship. Here are men largely prospered. The seed of a small enterprise grew into an accumulated and over- shadowing success. Their cup of prosperity is running over. Every day sees a com- mercial or a mechanical triumph. Yet they are not puffed up. They acknowledge the God who grows the harvests and gives them all their prosperity. When disaster comes that destroys others, they are only helped into higher experiences. The coldest winds that ever blew down from snow-capped Hermon and tossed Gennes- aret into foam and agony could not hurt them. Let the winds blow until they crack their checks. Let the breakers boomâ€" nl is well, Uhriet is in the ship. Here are at er 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 the sea is smooth, but they cannot outride a storm. After awhile the packet is tossed abcam end, and it seems as if she must go down with all the cargo. Push out from the shore with lifeboat, longbuat, shallop and pinnace. You cannot save the crew. The storm rises up to take down the vessel. Down she goes ! No Christ in that ship. Ilearn, in the next place, that people who follow Christ must not always expect smooth sailing. When these disciples 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 of Jesus is sailing 2” 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 a good time in getting out of this world, the apostles of J esus Uhrist ought to have been the men. Have you ever noticed how 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 halherd. 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 aspear. John Hues in the fire, the Albigenses, the \Yaldenscs, the Scotch Covenantersâ€"did they always find smooth sailing Why go so far ? I speak to young people whose voyage in life will be a mingling ofsunshine and of darkness, of arctic blast and of tropical tornado. You will have many a long, bright day of prosperity. The skies clear, the see smooth. The crew exhilarant. The boat, stuncii, will bound merrily over the billows. Crowd on all the canvas. Heigh ho! Land aleedl But suppose that sickness puts its bitter cup to your lips , suppose that death overshad- ows your heart , suppose misfortune with some quick turn of the wheel hurls you backward ; suppose that the wave of trial strikes you ethwnrt ships, and bowsprit shivered, and hallinrds swept into the see, and gaugway crowded With piratical disasters, and the Waves beneath and the sky above and the darkness around are filled with the clamor of the voices of destruction. 011, then you will want Chi ist in the ship. “0H, WAD SOME POWER THE GIETIE 01E US,TAE SEE OORSELS AS [THERS SEE US.” OMEMEE.

The almanac says the tide is rising, but the wave comes up to 11 cu rtain point and then it recedes. "Why, you any, “the tide 18 going back. ” No,y it in not. The next wave comes up a little higher, and it goes back. Again you any the tide is going out. And the next time the wave comes to a higher point, then to a higher point. Notwithstanding all these receasxons. at last all the shopping of the world know it is high tide. So it 15 with the cause of Christ in the world.

That is a dying Christian rocked on the surges of death. Winds that have wrecked magnificent fltrtillas oi 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 kin ire-("l seems to mingle with the swirl of the waiters and the sercum of rho windmnd the thunder of the sky. Deep to deep, billow to blllow. Yet no tremor, no gloom, no terror, no sighing for the dying Chris- tian. The fact is that from the back part of the bout u voice sings out. “\Vhen thou pussest through the waters I will be with thee." By the flush of the storm the dying Christian secs that the harbor is only just ahead. From heavenly castles voices of Welcome kOll'le over the waters. Peace drops on the angry waves as the storm sobs itself to rest like achild falling: asleep amid tours and trouble. Christ hath hushed the tempest. Again, I learn from this subject that Christ is God and man in the smne person. I go into the back part of the boat, and I look on 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 heck pert of the boat looking: on his face, I say: “He is a man ! He is a. men l” 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 com- mand, Isny, “He is God ! He is God 1” The hand that sets up the starry pillars of the universe wi inc: away the tears of an orphan ! When I want pity and sympathy, I go into the back art of this boat, and I look at him, and any, “0 Lord Jesus, thou weary one, than suffering one have mercy on me." “Ecce homo !" Behold the 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 : “0 Christ, than who couldst hush the storm, can hush all my sorrows, all my temptations, all my fears.” “Ecce Deus !" Behold the God ! I learn from this subject that Christ can hush the 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,tho one that hung around you with greatest fondness. The grave- digger'e spade out down through your bleeding heart. 01' perhaps it was the only one that you had, and your soul had ever since been like a desolwed 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. She was in your home to welcome your children into life, and when they died she was there to pity you. You know tha'~ the old hand will never do any more kindnesses for you, and the lock of white hair that you keep so well in the casket of the locket does not look Well as it did or. the day when she moved it back from. the wrinkled forehead under the old-fashioned bonnet in the 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 have in lands, so much I have in securities.” Suddenly itis all gone. Alas l for the man who once had plenty of money,hut who has hardly enough now for the morning marketing. No storm ever swept over Gennesaret like that which has gone trampling its thunders over your quailmg soul. But you awake Christ in the back part of the ship, crying, “Master, carest thou not that Iperish '2" And Christ rose up and quieted you. Jesus hushing the tempest. 'Didn’t Order the Carriage.

She went on the stage three seasons ago. getting a place in “ The Crust of Society" campany, rather because of her beauty and her graceful manners than because of any ability as an actress.

So when Miss Neilson told him her story he understood perfectly. The first day he was admiring, sympathetic, interested. The second day he was in love. The third day he was so far gone that he told her about it and asked her to marry him. She, too, had been touched, for kindness of the sort he showed had not been very usual in her life.
