A -MAN AS A STORM CENTER.
fTho* International Sunday School Le»
eon for October 31 Is "Paul a Prison
er: The-Voyage." Act 27: 1-26.
"H:V BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Everybody faces trouble some time.
•It*may be only alittle trouble, but II
seems big, the problem is the same.
The stranger the person the greater
and more numerous his troubles. Out
jward serenity of life, and freedom
•from soul-turmoil, are goals which all
•who would live nobly must resign.
iThe tempests of truth are better than
',the» ease of error. Whoever follows
the knightly Christ must share the
turmoil and tumult of which he was,
and Is, the center. An exciting ex
perience of the apostle Paul brings
the Sunday schools face to face with
the question of how to behave in trou
ble.
May a Man Turn Sour?
It is not the troubles that come to
us that count, but the way we meet
them. For a first office of tribulation
is to serve as trials—testings—of
character. Into the human junk heap
of useless tools must go the man who
whimpers and lies down at the first
start of hardship, wailing continual
ly thereafter his grievance into the
ears of all who can be made to hear
It. There is no more sensible test of
Paul's real size than the fact that he
never whined or complained about his
troubles. He had enough, surely
hut he did not turn sour. He kept his
faith in 'men, and in God. The victim
of piled-up unjustices, he remained
throughout a suave and smiling gentle
man. He was good company even for
his jailers. Note how cordial is his
relationship with Captain Julius, on
this eventful voyage. Incidentally, it
secured for Paul the special considera
tion which dignified courtesy usually
wins.
The actual events of the voyage are
best told in the words of Luke. After
his address before Festus and Agrippa
Paul was sent towards Rome, at the
first opportunity. One ship carried
the prisoner and his military escort
over familiar seas, from Caesarea to a
port in Asia Minor called Myra. There
they transhipped to what was then
esteemed a large ship, a grain vessel
from Egypt, bound for Rome. In this
they made a slow journey against
head winds until they reached the
Island of Crete, which newspaper
readers recognize as the present scene
of international complications. They
worked their way gradually around the
Island to the port of Fair Havens.

although Paul warned him that to
leave would be destruction so in the
face of dangerous storms, as October
is the month of the terrible North
easters, the ship tried to make
Phoenix, another port on the same
island of Crete, in order to lie up for
the winter. This effort failed, and the
throwing over of the cargo, casting
out of the anchors, and binding the
hull with great ropes, all failed to
avert shipwreck.
All Winds Are Good Winds
"Whichever way the wind doth blow
Some heart is glad to have it so
Then blow it east or blow It west.
Whatever wind doth blow is best."
Paul was not of those who find
fault with the weather he recognized
it as God's weather, on the same er
rand and serving the same Master as
himself. It Is a comforting assurance
that the "Ruler of wind and., wave"
uses both men and the natural ele
ments to work out his purposes. The
very heart of faith is to believe that
whatever God sends is good. His
winds never thwart his will. He had
decreed that his minister Paul should
go to Rome: to accomplish that end
he would if necessary, unleash all the
winds that h6 holds in his fist. Well
could Paul be at peace, for he knew
that there was not water enough in
the restless Middle Sea to drown the
men whom the Lord needed at Rome.
Few experiences call for more faith
than a storm at sea. The landsman
cannot understand the seeming omni
potence of the waters, and the utter
helplessness of mortal power, in a
great tempest. I have sailed this
same tempestuous Mediterranean, in
a vessel not murh larger than Paul's
and I have been night to death in a
still frailer craft in this treacherous
Yellow Sea, and I can testify that the
might of man is vnpotence when the
sea lifts up its head.
Jesus slept in a storm at sea and
the same untroubled heart seems to
have been in Paul's breast. The con
trast between his course and that of
Jonah in these same waters is worth
recalling. Paul could trust God which
ever way the wind blew. Faith is not
faith which disappears when trouble
draws near. Some persons think they
have reason to rebel against God
whenever his mysterious providences
touch them, as in the death of a
loved one. Genuine faith, though, cries
with Job, "Though he slay me, yet
will I trust him."
Too Much Cargo.
Caught by the sailors' old enemy
the Northeaster (which the translators
conceal under the Greek name
"Euroclydon" or "Euroquilo") the
vessel was allowed to drive. Under
girding the ship with cables, to
strengthen the imperilled hull, while
under the lee* of a little island, they
took in sail, and cast off once more,
to escape the treacherous sands of
Syrtis. Now it became necessary to
begin to throw overboard the needless
furniture of the ship—using discrimi
nation at first, but afterward giving to
the waves what they had at first
though necessary to keep. Even the
cargo had to go by the board, in this
blind driving over a sunless, starless
sea, with, of course, no mariner's com
pass to direct the helm.
This was a poor harbor, and the ship's
captain did not want to winter there, 'are in peril in today's strerr because

CURES
BLOOD POISON
Removing the outward symptoms is'not all that Is necessary to cure
Contagious Blood Poison. The virulent germs which- produce these exter
nal manifestations must be completely driven from the blood before a real
cure can be effected. The least taint left in the circulation will sooner or
later cause a fresh outbreak of the trouble, with all its hideous symptoms
of ulcerated mouth and throat, copper-colored spots, falling hair, sores and
ulcers, etc. Only a blood purifier can cure Contagious Blood Poison.
Medicines which merely check the symptoms for a time, because of their
strong mineral nature, and leave the poison smouldering in the system, have
brought disappointment to thousands. The disease always returns after
such treatment. S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison and cures it per
manently. It goes into the blood, and removes every particle of the poison,
making the circulation pure, rich and healthy, nor does 8.S.S. leave the
slightest trace of the disease for future outbreaks. 8. S. S. does not contain
any mineral ingredient, but is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks,
which are most valuable in their blood-purifying properties, and at the
same time specifically adapted to building up the entire system. If you
have Contagious Blood Poison S.S.S. will cure you because it will thor

they are too heavily laden with

our soul-ships so elaborately that their
sailing powers are hindered. There is
good reason for the vogue of the

name of God—let us throw over the
rail our fine houses and many servants
and cluttered heaps of costly clothes
and our visiting cards and our multi
tudinous offerings at the shrine of
Mrs. Grundy, and let us sail free to a
harbor of rest. What is the use of
saving cargo and gear and ship if the
souls are lost? Nothing counts but
the spirit-life and life consists not
in an abundance of things.
Calm in a Crisis.
The experienced seamen on Paul's
ship were in something resembling
what is colloquially called "a blue
funk." Even the impassive Roman cap
tain was in despair. The limit had been
rached hope was gone. Then emerged
the royal-hearted Paul. Crises reveal
the great.. In times of panic, it is the
strong who has been in the quiet with
God who comes to the help of his fel
lowi. And such a one is bound to be an
encourager and a heartener. At Lady
smith the British couft-martialed a
man for being a discourager. In time
of danger and anxiety, it is a first duty
to disseminate hopefulness.
Paul could do this, for he had reason
tc
exhort his companions to "Fear
not," and to "Be of good cheer." The
ground, of his faith was this: "For I
b=lieve God." That is the secret of as
surance. There is more soul-nourish
ment in that bread than in a barivl of
sentimental "Dont "Worry" gumdrops
When in calm confidence a isernon can
say, "God, whose I am anc! whom I
serve,' he is in a position to impart his
peace to fellow men. The way to
share our faith is to s-hare -our God.
Trust in him is the only adequate
refuge in the storms of life.
ISLAND HEROES.
Terse Comments Upon the Christian
Endeavor Tooic for October 31. "He
roes of Missions in the Islands." Isa.
32: 1-4, 16-20.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
The "isles Of the sea" have been a
favorable missionary phrase bequeath
ed by the King James Version, ting
ed with the romance and mystery of
rer.-.ote and strange peoples, and of ad
venture among them. While the Gospel
has been carried to many islands, the
South Sea Islands are commonly
mear' when the island mission field is
mtntioned. Of course, the always in
teresting story of the first missionaries
to r?iitain f.nd Ireland is apnropriate
under this topic: and its telling will
link the Christianity of North Amer
ica today with the form of evangeliza
tion which this meeting is considering.
If the Gospel cannot make the worst
like 'he best, then its powers are less
than it claims.
Tl- 3 storv has often been told of the
sea captain visiting the Fiji Islands
who was railing agjainst missionaries
in the presence of a native chief. The
latter quietly led the noisy critic to a
spot where was a great fireplace, fal
len into IJsrepair. Pointing to it. he
said: "If you had come here a few
years ago, before the missionary ar
rived, you would have been killed by
n'y eople, cooked in that fireplace and
then eaten. You have only the mission
ary to thank that you are able to leaw
this island."
The great naturalist, Charles Dar
•n in. thus testified out of his own ex
perience in the South Sea Islands:
"he lesson of the missionary is the
enchanter's wand. The march of im
vrovement on the introduction of
Christianity throughout the South Sea
probably -stands by itself in the
reiords of history."
The co-discoverer of the law of evo
lution, along with Darwin. Alfred Rus
sell Wallace, shared the opinion of
Darwin With respect to missions. He
said: "The missionaries hav much to
be pround of in this, country (the
SOulh Sea Islands.) They have as
sisted the government in changing a
savaare into a civilized community in a
wonderfully short space of time. Forty
years: ago the country was a wilder
ness, the people naked savages, garn
ishing thoii rude houses with humai
heads. Now it is a garden, worthy of
Its sweet name of 'Minahata.'
Robert Louis Stevenson lived in
the South Sea Islands with all the
carefulness of a trained literary work
er, and out of the fullness of actual
personal experience, he wrote this de
liberate opinion: "I had conceived
great prejudice against missions in the
South Seas, and I had no sooner come
there than that prejudice was at first
reduced, land then at last annihilated
Those who deblatterate against mis
sions have only one thing to do, to
come and see them on the sopt. They
will see a great deal of good done, and
I believe, if they be honest persons
they will cease to complain of mission
work and its effects."
The United States sent a commis
sioner to the Samoan Islands in 1899
to investigate conditions there. Mr.
Tripp reported (as quoted by Dr. Jas
L. Barton, in "The Missionary and His
Critics"): "These people (the Samo
fins) are far from being savages. They
are splendid specimens of physical
manhood, and are well informed about
matters of general information. They
are nearly all Christians, and are very
devout in their attachment to their
church and their religion. Thanks to
the missionaries, the great bulk of the
natives and nearly all the chiefs can
read and write, and are adopting the
habits of civilization with great al
acrity."
The story of missions in the South
Sea Islands is a continuous tale of ad
venture. A heart-sickening number of
the missionaries, early and late, have
been killed and eaten. Only a few
weeks ago, the captain of the new
"Hiram Bingham the gospel ship sent
out by the American Board, died of
starvation and exposure when his ves
sel was wrecked. There is no more dra
matic book for young or old than the
Life of John G. Paton, "The apostle of
the New Hebrides."
When I looked into the face of John
G. Paton, of the New Hebrides, I
thought of the face of Moses when he
came down from the Mount. For the
very texture of the missionary's skin
seemed inwrought with a peculiar
fineness and luminousness. A long life
of Chrlstly service had so spiritualized
the material man that "his face shone."
"The Great-Heart of New Guinea,"
bk
Stevenson called James Chalmers.
«ir^"
OTTUMWA COURIER
lived a big, vigorous life that went
deep and reached far. A few years ago
he was slain by the natives of a tribe
whom ho was visiting for the first time
with the Gospel.
Back of the murders of missionaries
in the 'South Sea may be discerned the
picture of the white trader, whose
alius* of the natives led them to fear
and to hate all white men. Thus, the
ni/ole Bishop Patterson died as a re
sniit of a trader's ruse. They had rig
ged and painted their ship in imita
tion of his, and stolen some natives
nnd sold them into slavery. Then, when
the Bishop's ship came aloner it was
attacked in mistake for the traders.
John Williams, and the other mar
tyrs who lived great lives and won a
glorious death iiuhearing the cross to
the Islands, have a share in all the
successes of the Gospel that now make
radiant those places once dark.
It is only because Hawaii was a mis
sion-made land that it could be taken
into the Federal Union of States and
Territories.
Massachusetts sent missionaries to
Hawaii today a Hawiian is preach
ing in one .of the decadent Massachus
etts towns. Such are the dramatic con
sequences of missions: the Gospel sent
forth as salvation, returns to the send
er in service.
