HEADING TOWARD HOME There Will Only Be Tears of Joy and Not of Sorrow in the Welcome (Eaterad according to Act < liament of CanAda, in the A despatch from Chica.go says: Rev. Frank Be Witt Talmage preached from the following text: Psalm civ., 26, "There go the ships."

Sometimes the sea becomes as Wrathful as the wild beasts in the Spanish* arena, stung with sharp darts, before which the attendants wave the red garments. It rears. It plunges. It lashes itself into fury until at last it is crimsoned with its own blood. The blazing phosphorescences make it look like the river Nile struck with the Mosaic rod in the famous Egyptian plague. The seashore a monotonous place to pass the summer? It is uninteresting only to those whose love of nature is so undeveloped that they cannot understand the language of the sea. THE HUMAN SIHP. But; after all, one of tho most absorbing diversions of the summer tourists living by the seashore is to watch the passing of the ships. For over a quarter of a century my privilege was to spend every summer by tho Atlantic coast. My father's country homo was near tho end of Long Island, at a small town called East Hampton. There, upon the sand dunes, I used to lie hour after hour watching the great steamers and the sailing craft heading toward Now York Narrows or Etarting upon their long trips to the distant harbors of tho world. I used to watch them just as the psalmist did when vessel should be under the dtom of Jesus Christ ? END OF THE VOYAGE. i. Do youf 47. And all this assembly ■very human' know' that the Lord shall old and the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands. See how David is nothing and God Thus, my dear friends, as voyagera is everything. Consider Paul's upon the great sea of life, to-day I jgreat words, "Not I, but Christ," greet you. I signal you with the "Not I, but the grace of God" (Gal. Warmest feelings of Christian joy ii, 26; 1 Cor. xv. 10). Concerni 'ring my heart. I feel that it is due to the providence of God that we have been brought together for a Christian purpose. The sea of life is so wide that many of us only meet each other this once before we sail into the harbor of peace. When a vessel becomes a wreck and floats about the seas as a derelict it crews and passengers which were sunken at soa?? Oh, I know lifeboats and life preservers are provided by law on every boat to guard against accidents. But, as a rule, they do but little good. By the time the hurricane has completed it; work the lifeboats aro splintered and by the timo the tornado of sir has wrecked a human' craft it no1 only destroys a father and a husband, but also all those whose existences are dependent upon his life. One of the bravest scenes ever witnessed was that in Samoa harbor, when a few/years ago the famous cyclone destroyed many lives. When an English man-of-war was able tc get up enough steam to head out to sea, the American sailors of a sinking ship began to cheer their English cousins. It was a brave cheer. When those sailors cheered they knew they were on a sinking ship, and therefore most of them would be drowned. Let us, as human craft.s, beware how we allow our- jves to sink into the sea of sin and ■stroy those loved ones who are anding upon our upper decks. THE SIGNAL OF DISTRESS. The human vessels should bo will- ig to stop and help those sister crafts which are lifting their signals of (listless. Why ? Because distress and need give a man an inalienable claim on the help of his brother. Nowhere is that claim recognized so surely and so promptly as on the high seas.
