PALACES OF LIGHT, trampling the billows under foot, and- showering the sparks of terrible furnaces on the wild wind; and the Christian passenger, tippeted and shawled, sits under the shelter of the smokestack, looking off upon the phosphorescent deep, on which is written in scrolls of foam and fire, "Thy way, 0 God, is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters!" It is in those days of early navi- gation that I see a group of men, wo- men, and children on the beach at Tyre. Paul is about to leave the congregation to whom he had preach- ed, and they are come dowtn to see him off. It is a solemn thing to part. There are so» many traps that wait for a man’s feet. The solid ground may break through, and the seaâ€"how many dark mysteries it hides in its bosom! A few counsels, a hasty good-bye, a last look, and the ropes rattle, and the sails are hoisted, and the planks are hauled in, and Paul is gone. “\Vhen we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship.” The Church is the dry dock where souls are to be. fitted out for heaven. In making a vessel for this voyage, the first need is sound timber. The floor-timbers ought to be of solid stuff.

CHRISTIAN PERSEVERANCE. There are three mountain surges that sometimes dash against a soul in a minuteâ€"the world, the flesh and the devil; and that is a well-built prow that can bound over them. For lack of this, many have put back and never started again. It is the broadside wave that so often sweeps the deck and fills the hatches; but that which strikes in front is harmless. Meet troubles courageously and you sur- mount them. Stand on the prow, and as you wipe off the spray of the split surge, cry out .With the apostle, "None There must also be a prow, arrang- ed to cut and override the billow. That is In the spring, summer, and autumn, the Mediterranean Sea was White with the wings of ships, but at the first wintry blast they hied themselves to the nearest harbor; although now. the world’s commerce prospers in January aS'well as in June, and in mid-winter all over the wide and stormy deep, there float The men who now go to sea with maps, and charts, and modern com- pass, warned by buoy and lighthouse, know nothing of the. perils of ancient navigation. Horace said that the man who first ventured on the sea must have had a heart bound with oak and triple brass. People then ventured only from headland to headland, and from island to island; and not until long- after spread their sail fora avoyage across the sea. Be- fore starting, the weather was watch- ed, and the vessel, having been hauled up' on the shore, the mariners placed their shoulders against the stern of the ship and heaved it offâ€"they, at the last moment leaping into it. Vessels were then chiefly ships of burdenâ€"the transit of passengers being the exception; for the world was not then migratory as in our day,. when the first desire of a man in one; place seems to be to get into anoth-j er place. g A despatoh from Washington says; â€"Rev. Dr. Talmage preached from the following text just before leaving for Europe: “And when we‘had taken our leave one of another, we took ship." â€"'Acts xxi. 6. Paul was an old sailorâ€"not from 00-: Impation, but from frequency of tra- vel. I think he could have taken a vessel across the Mediterranean as well as some of the ship-captains. The sailors never scoffed at him for be- ing a "land-lubber.” If Paul’s ad- vice had been taken, the crew would never have gone ashore at Melita. “ BE OF GOOD CHEER. ” Rev.

You know the ships of England, Russia, France and Spain by the ensigns they carry. Sometimes it is a lion, someâ€" times an eagle, sometimes a star, sometimes a crown. {Let it ever be known who you are, and mr what port you are ‘bound; Let “Christian” be written on the very front, with a figure of a» cross, a crown, and a clove ; and from, the mast-head let float the streamers of Emmanuel.

W'ithout these the yards cannot be braced. the sails lifted, nor the canvass in any wise managed. W'e have prayer for the running rigging. Un- less you understand this tacking you are not a spiritual seaman. By pull- ing on these ropes, you hoist the sails of faith and turn them every whither. The prow of courage will not cut the wave, nor the sail of faith spread and flap ‘its wing, unless you have strong prayer for a halliard. One more arrangement, and you will be ready for the sea. You must have a compassâ€"which is the Bible. Look at it every day, and always sail by it, as its needle points toward the Star of Bethlehem. Through fog and dark- ness, and storm, it works faithfully. Search the Scriptures. But you must have sails. Vessels are not fit for the sea until they have the fly 311g jib, the ‘oresail, the top-gallant, the sky-sail, the gaff-sail, and other canvass. Faith is our canvass. Hoist it, and the winds of heaven will drive you ahead. Sails made out of any other canvass than Faith will be slit to tatters by the first -nort‘h-easter. Strong faith never lost a battle. It will crush foes, blast rocks, quench lightnings, thresh mountains. It isa shield to the warrior, a crank to the most ponderous wheel, a lever to pry up pyramids, a drum .whose beat gives strength to the step of the heavenly sold'iery, and sails to waft ships lad- en with priceless pearls from the har- bour of earth to the harbour of heav- of these things move,me.” Let agyour fears stay aft.

Do not always stay in the same latitude and longitude. You will never ride up the harbour of Eternal Rest if you all the way drag your anchor. And all this, like these later hor- rors in China, in the name of religion. Yet Buddha and Mohammed, like Christ, came to the, world as apostles of peace and good-will toward men. Surely the real living. God of human- ity now and then shuts his light from the soul of His human images. China has still the old-fashioned Sys- tem of private letter carrying.

At this distance and in this environ- ment, writes a London correspondent, it seems that the nations of the earth have permitted all these awful things in China. It may not be so, but it! looks very much like a consultation over a dying man, with Russia as the family physician, Japan as the sur- geon who could save, and the rest of us a lot of blithering, bungling coun- try doctors, letting him! die while we discuss the etiquet of it all. \Ve all recall the Cawnpore story, and people are retailing it now just as if there were not enough present hor- rorâ€"how those women, the wives and daughters of English officers and of- ficials, had their breasts cut off. and were thrown into a pit to die of their wounds and of starvation. “And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship.” It' looks as if the only hope for the women" and children in Pekin is that their men will shoot them down when the worst comes to the worst. This thought recalls a ghastly experience I had at an evening reception here, recently. I was discussing the situa- tion in China with a white-haired, seared-visaged, soldierly looking man, and. I said I didn't see, necessary and human as the act would be under some circumstances, how it could be possible for the men in the legation to shoot their wives and daughters. The man was silent for a moment, his face rigid and white, his eyes gazing into space before him a’ I wanted to shriek out then and the-re, but only groaned and walked away.

He shot his wife and two daughters as they were being dragged away by those black brutes; after he had been imprisoned and tor- tured he escaped, to- live a nightmare pocket-handkerchief.

Shall not the man who proclaims liberty to the captives him- self be free? Rather give me an empty church to start with than a. church full of precisiomists. I have no great fondness for fossils.

ANOTHER TYPE. “ Nor are these the only exceptions to a clearly defined type. There is an- other sort of anarchist, who works stealthily, not for a revolution, but for the gratification of his own Sadie temper. Not many years ago there was a mysterious stranger, one Stern- berg, who supported the Anarchs of France for the mere lust of slaughter and" suffering. Wherever workmen were in revolt there were tidings of tlfis man of mystery. It was not. his “The anarchist, moreover, is com- monly half-educated. Rotten before he is ripe, he has extracted from cheap philosophy all that is mischievous. Reeking with murder, he will quote Herbert Spencer, as t.\e devil quoted Scripture, to his purpose. “Such is the type to which the most of ‘political’ murderers conform Such was the foolish, amiable Vail- lant, who thought that an infernal machine thrown into the Chamber of Deputies might call attention to him- self and his fortunes. In this he suc- ceeded, and.if there \vere roona for cynicism, in the adventure, we might smile at the irony which chose the place and the method. At any rate, the deputies experienced a new terrJr, even though the machine was wreath- ed in flowers. Such, too, was the mis- erable Henry, who comes nearest to our ideal of shiftless, irresponsible half-knowledge. Such, too, was the poor Caserio, who was elevated by his compatriots‘into a hero of the Sun- day school. a change of system will ameliorate it; but he can imagine no method of changing a system which appears irksome save the death of an innocent man. That is to say, he does not un- cards. 80 he rushes into the street, armed with dynamite or dagger, and finds heroism in a l'upine brutality. Hence it follows that he is of a san- gfuiine disposition. He is of those who hope always that the wickedness of to-day will be overlooked by the mer- cy of the morrow, and, in truth noth- ing need appear hopeless to the brain which detects in an unreasoned crime a cure for poverty. A VICTIM 015‘ WORDS. “ But says his apologist, at any rate, the anarchist is a man of courage; at any rate, he risks his skin for an idea. Nothing could be further from the truth; he is not brave, this irresolute apostle of slaughter; he is the victim. not of ideas, but of words. Impelled to his ineffectual act by a phrase, he deems no risk excessive, if only he be given a chance to 'work off a few tags before his judges. His quick, restless miind omits one step in the argument. He sees the crowded court; he is blind to the gallows. He imagines himself for a moment the centre of attraction, he seems to hear the echo of his hollow voice, an he proclaims the foolish sentences which he has learned by rote. And his stupendous vanity blinds him to the last conse- quence, the early morning and the ghostly counsel, the chill walk from the prison to the guillotine, the ob- lique blade and the fateful basket. These ‘horrors do not appal him, be- cause his self-satisfaction carries him no farther than the speech which he fondly believes will impress the jury. For, indeed, if there were no vanity in the world there would be no anarch- ists, since vanity is the essence of that stupidist of crimes, which is called political. None but a vain fool would attempt single-handed what he gran- diloquently describes as the “regen- eration of man;” none but avain fool would choose for this attempt the ri- diculous ‘method of inconsequent ass- assination; none but a vain fool would overlook all the cansequences of his deed save the chance of an ill-deserved speech in a hostile courthouse. And, in all the history of anarchy you will not find one practitioner who did not unite in himself the three qualities of vanity, hope and cowardice. RED HARD 0F ANARUHY. The Anarchist ls \aln.

Sorry for himself, he believes, by an easy transition, that he is sorry for his fellows; and it is this sham sympathy, rooted in selfishness. which generally wins for him the credit of amiability. So the discontent which he fondly construes \into a general love of the human race, drives thean- archist to attempt reform, and for him reform means death. Indeed, so narrow is his brain that he can con- ceive no other remedy for a trifling ill than murder; he would wipe out N., . .G. : J. MCKECHNIE. “It is France that made anarchy possible. For anarchy is the legiti- mate child of the Revolution, which now appears to us in a true light as the mother of evil. If the lesson of ination which appears to its votaries as the highest virtue. The Revolution it was that first discovered the gran- deur of cowardice, that first saw in the severed head of a girl the symbol of freedom and patriotism. The coun- try which still insists that the Revo- lution must be taken en bloc as are- birth of the world can hardly be sur- prised if her citizens and her pupils have learned the use of dynamite and the knife. Assassins there were, of course, before the black year, 1789, but they were no better than spor- adic imbeciles, and neither Fenton nor Bellingham struck with the weight of a misguided movement behind them. No; the anarchist is a brief century old, and already it is time that he should crawl away to death, and be no more known. THE FUTURE. And what is the future of anarchy? Blank for the anarchs, hopeful for us. The international association, which now devises murder in secret, and puts to death its disobedient members, has passed its zenith of brutality. The activity of the police, and the dying zeal of the agitators, have doubled its risk and halved its ingenuity. It will still hold its middle-claass meet- ings and discuss the works of Her- bert Spencer, but it is not likely to renew its forward policy. All that gov- ernments can do is to see that the anarchist, when he is caught, has the briefest trial and the severest sen- tence that can be devised. For, after blood, he best loves publicity.

'He is a Pole, said this one; he is a Russian said that; and we may cheerfully leave it to the wiseacres of eastern Europe to settle their claim, But he was indefatigable in his desire of blood. ‘Kill more you brutes!’ he is reputed to have said, when he thought his creatures were not giving him value for his money. He was working at Antwerp, he was an inspiration at Lille, and then he vanished. Tried for murder, he was twice condemned, and, at last, aru- mor came that he was in a Russian pr‘son.
