Calm night starry night beautifulnight Jinn up nil the sails ply mill theoars and let the large boat munch thesmall boat glide over gentle Genncsaret But the sailors say there isgoing to be a change of weather Mideven the passengers can hear the moan ¬

clangor of the hounds great patches offoam arc flung into the air the sails ofthe vessel loosen and in the strongwind crack like pistols the smallerboats like petrels poise on the cliffsof the waves and then plunge Over¬

That great personage lifts His headfrom the pillow of the fishermanscoat walks to tile front of the vesselanti looks out into the storm Allaround Him are the smaller boatsdriven in the tempest anti through itIcomes the cry of drowning men Bythe flash of the lightning I see thecalm brow of Christ as the spraydropped from Ills heard He has oneword for the sky and another for thewaves Looking upward He criesPlace Looking Ubwnward He

The subject in time first place Im ¬

There are men who ask Gods helpat the beginning of great enterprisesHe has been with them in the pastno trouble can overthrow them thestorms might come down from thetopof Mount Hermon and lash Gennesaret into foani anti into agonybut it could not hurt them But hereis another man who starts out inworldly enterprise and he dependsupon the uncertainties of this lifeHe has no God to help him Afterawhile the storm comes tosses off themasts of the ship he puts out his life ¬
