The American Baptist

AMERICAN BAPTIST. A SONG OF DUTY. Sorrow comes and sorrow goes, Life is flocked with shine a er, Now the tear of grieving flows, Now we smile in happy hour; Death awaits us, everyone— Tolier, dreamer, preacher, writer— Let us, then, ere life be done, Make the world a little brighter! Let us do our best to break them, From the straitened brain and mind Let us loose the binding fetter, Let us, as the Lord designed, Make the world a little better! Selfish brooding sears the soul. Makes the heart a rest of sorrows, Darkening the shining goal Make the world a little kinder! —Denis A. McCarthy, in Good Counsel Magazine. Sore Throat? There's no telling what a sore throat will do if you give it "right of way." Uncertain remedies often cause dangerous delay. Make a cure sure with Painkiller. known for half a century as a specific for sore throat, group, coughs aid all kindred troubles. Keep it by you for an emergency. It never fails. Avoid substitutes, there is but one Painkiller, Perry Davis'. 25 cts. 60 cts. A Call to Paris. I was called to the pastorate of the Zion Baptist church, Paris, Ky., January 18th 1904, and I made them three visits and I found the church in a condition that no pastor to my mind in the state or out of the state could redemme the Zion church to the honor of the Baptists of the state but Rev. H. Nutter, the builder, and on my third trip I called the church together and advised them to call Rev. Nutter back if they could get him back under any circumstances and save that splendid church house for the Baptists of Kentucky and the church called Rev. Nutter without a dissenting vote and I had a personal talk with Rev. Nutter and advised him to reconsider the matter and return to Zion at Paris, where he had done such a great work. Rev. Nutter is in the hearts of the people at Paris, colored and white. I Pray God's blessing upon that people and Rev. Nutter. Your Servant, A. L. CAULDER. To the Officers and Members of the Zion Baptist Church, Paris, Ky.— Understanding you are to have a meeting to night, I thought it proper to make a statement of the amount of money that will fall due on the 26th of next month: You will owe to the Trust Co., of Carlisle (with int.), $458.00. To J. M. Thomas (with int.), $1'0.00. Balance on insurance, $50,00. Total. $673.00. This does not include any outsanding debts that you have, nor the amount due for the seats. This is a large sum of money for your church to raise during the winter months, as your membership is composed, of course, of laboring men, and their wages are not so high that they can indulge in many luxuries. But the obligation having been taken, of course it has to be met. On account of of my personal regard for Elder Nutter and aunt Aggie Jackson, I became security for your church on the Thomas notes, for in no other way could we get the money from the Trust Company in Carlie and get Mr. Thomas to agree to extend the balance due him. While the entire $783.00 is due, and if not met, makes all the amount you owe the Carliele Trust Company become due and collectible, still, if you raise $273.00 I am certain I can get an extension during the summer, which will enable us to catch up and pull out. Of course, it is not for me to interfere in you church arrangements, but I believe if you will extend a call to Elder Butter to come back and take charge I can induce him to do so, as he was largely instrumental in setting me to come to your rescue. If the church will indicate to him that they want him, I will prevail upon him to return, although I admit it will be a great sacrifice of his personal interest for him to do so. But I have such high regard for him, and have work along with him for so long, that I am willing, when --- good weather comes, to get in a buggy with him and go around over the county and make an extra effort to help you people out of your financial trouble. The colored people of Paris need church, and it will act as a great elevating the race in Pub House for that reason, it seems to be willing to make sacrifices of your time and means, as far as you are able towards making one grand effort to put your church on its feet again. When that one hill is pulled the road becomes easy, and no man would be able to estimate the good that you can do. I hope you will carefully consider this matter and decide that the best interest of the church and the community require that you make an effort to induce Eider Nutter to come back I repeat, the amount due on march 28th is $878.00, but if you will raise $278.00 I will endeavor to get an extension through the summer mouths, when, of course, all of us can spare more from our incomes than we can during the winter. Hoping you will see your way clear to take the step I have indicated, and with best wishes for your future prosperity, I am. Declarations of the 13th Annual TUSKEGEE NEGRO CONFEhENCE Held at Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 17. I. In this, the thirteenth annual session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference, composed of representatives of the masses of our people in nearly all walks of life from practically all the Southern States, we would again declare our faith in the wisdom of unceasing efforts to secure homes and lands, the exercise of thrift, keeping out of debt, getting rid of one-room castins, the building of good school houses, and better churches, the extension of the school term, the building of good public roads, the prompt and regular payment of all taxes, especially poll tax; because 85 percent of our people live by agriculture, we urge that every thing be done to make agriculture, al life attractive. 2. In connection with thorough education of all people, we urge a high standard of morality, christian character, and a strict line between the good and bad, and that our teachers and ministers be required to maintain at all times the highest standard of life. 3. A careful observation of the condition on the race in local communities convinces us that there is abundant evidence that the moral condition of our people improves as education increases, and there is no evidence that education increases crime. 4. Since the two races are to reside in the South, we urge that everything be done on both sides to promote harmony and mutual confidence, and we urge our white fellow-citizens to do everythin in their power to place a premium upon right conduct and high character among our people, and to end that peace and prosperity may abide, we urge that our people be careful to refrain from the committing of crime; and further, when crime is committed, or charged, every individual shall be given a legal trial to the end that the curse of lynch law, which lowers and blunts the moral sense and disturbs the material prosperity of both races, may forever cease to be practiced anywhere in our land. A Great Meeting at Mt. Vernon Ind We have just closed a great revival here, which, perhaps, is the greatest revival that has ever been known in the history of the church. We began our meeting on New Year's night, and on Monday following Rev. N. G. Galbrieh came and opened fire on the camp of satan, and for two weeks, he fired with the gospel gun to the pulling down of the strong hold; on the 20th Rev. Wm. H. Leavell, D. D., came and began preaching and for two weeks he prescored the old "Apostolic gospel" to the edifying of the church and the convincing of sinners. During that time there were thirty professions and twenty-two additions with several from the Free Wills and M. E's. Total additions during the meeting were 61 the church was greatly revived and built up in Apostolic faith and doctrine. Pray for us that God may prosper our cause. W. T. JONES, Pastor. Paris, Ky., Feb. 5th 1904. LOUISVILLE, KY., FRIDAY FEBRUARY 26 1904. Revival Meeting.s It was the writers privilege to conduct two gospel revival meetings for the New Year. One at Poplar Bluff, Mo. the o he at Cape Girardeau, Mo., which resulted in one hundred and sixteen conversions. The ministers of these towns were so awakened and enthused in the work until they have not ceased in lifting up Jesus. The meeting are still in progress. At Poplar Bluff where the fligh is still and on they have upto date 88 souls who have been save from their sin. These convrs have adopted the house to house visitation plan. In this Poplar Bluff is bel g brought to Christ. The readers will be sur rised to know that this meeting was conducted and is being continued under the auspices of the A. M. E church, with ev. C. N. Douglass as pastor, one of the noblest men in that connection. The meeting at Cape Girardeau is still in progress with 28 conversions under the auspices of the second Baptist church with Rev. J. H. Henderson as pastor. They are still in the fight and say that it shall not stop here. This chu co is one of the leading churches in Southeastern Miss uri. The congregation is made up out of an attentive set of hearers, who sit with attentive ears and watchful eyes, to catch every word of God as it proceeded forth out of our mouth. They have an up to date Sunday School with a fine corps of teachers, who seem to be deeply interested in the Sunday-school of work. Over half of this Sunday School was convried. At Poplar Bluff the entire Sunday School was converted. People say they will not stop until their Sunday School and every family in town shall taste with them and see if the Lord is good. This church has a set of strong Chris laworkers, both men and women who are filled with the Holy Ghost. Their appreciation for our services were shown by the way the gave, their presence in each meeting and their co-operation in each service and the bringing in of their sinner friends to hear the gospel. The interest and enthusiasm of these me rings were so great until sinners would send for us in their homes and before leaving would be happily converted. The ages of these conversions ran from 10 to 80 years. The pastor and their wives were great helpers in bringing sinners to Jesus. The baptists of the Cape have a great mission field, and they have their eyes upon it, and we think with the Sunday School workers and the Bible Band which meets each Sabbath at 6 o'clock p.m., and the working forces of the church they will take the field for Christ. We regret very much that the pressing demand prevents us from giving more of our time in the above named fields. These churches paid us $55.00 for our services and gave us $25 worth of presents. S W. BEASLEY. M. & F, College Notes, Hopkinsville, Ky. Miss S. W. McCall, of Montgomery, Ala., arrived Tuesday night February 2nd and will teach in the Preparatory Department and act as assistant Matron. Miss McCall is the second member of our faculty from the A. & M. College, Normal, Ala., and comes to us highly recommend d by the President of A. & M. College. She has had several years experience as a teacher, matron and secretary and we feel that she is another valuable addition to our acuity. She is the seventh member of our faculty and according to an established custom of our College, we had a special programme arranged welcoming Miss McCall with all the oratory and speech making it was in our power to extend. After a few brief remarks by President P. T. Frazer introducing Miss McCall the following programme was rendered, interspersed with sweet music: On Behalf of the Trustees—Rev. E. Williams, D. D., Chairman, On Behalf of the Board of Education—R. v. James L. Allensworth. On Behalf of the Faculty—Dr. J. C. Lyte, Resident Physician. On Behalf of the Students—Mr. G. L. Henderson, Third Year Preparatory. On Behalf of the Churches—Revs. P. C. Coyse and P. D. Gordon. Miss McCail, white she does not claim to be a speaker yet she responded to all that was said in a manner that pleased all present, which brought forth the College Yell from the students with a vim. To say that the M. & F. College is progressing rapidly, is only mildly expressing a fact that is talked of daily. A Complete Baptist Commentary—the First of Its Kind Ever Published.

I have been pastor of the Pleasant View Baptist church Smith Grove, Ky. for seven years and due there once a month, every third Sunday. I can say with no hesitation this is one of the best little churches in the state. Last third Saturday evening being ailing I got Rev. G. W. Mack to go instead of myself. On Sunday morning I received a telephone message from him stating the members desired me to come on the next train without fault, though not able to preach I went to see what they wanted. On my arrival I went to my stopping place, sister Molle Strange's, and there I found that a storm had struck the dining room and had laden the table with everything a family could need. More than a half dozen 24 pound sacks of flour; shoulders; hams; sugar; coffee; meal; chickens and all kind of canned goods; soap; socks; silk handkerchiefs; scarfs; baking powders and money and really it was one of the largest storms I ever witnessed. I know it would take up too much space in your paper to give the names of the persons that contributed may God bless the members and friends of Smith's Grove and Oakland and every where that were engaged in this storm and send them back again soon. They always are welcome guests. I have also been pastoring here in Franklin, Ky. for twenty-two years and as the brethren have not heard any thing of us through the paper I thought I would say a few words to let them know that we are still in the battlefield and on the wings of progress. Our church is getting along nicely spiritually and financially. Sunday February 7th 1904 Rov. G. W.

Mack preaches at 11 a.m. an of all that hea ing the day $ To the Superintendents of Child- Dear Sisters: I again appeal to you in the interest of the Children's Band. We came from our last Convention very much encouraged over our financial success; but we must continue to work to accomplish our undertaking. This work should not be confined to a few, but to the many Baptists of the State of Kentucky. The women are making a double effort; we children went to do likewise. Plan some way that you can hkewise. Pl that has surpassed the expectation of the founders of our school, whose faith had begun to wane until the arrival of President Frazer a few years ago and by his faith in the Lord and courage to succeed, our college is coming to the front, second to none in the state for real worth. Our building is crowded with boarders, from one of the best best families in the state. We are very much in need of a new building and our daily prayer is, that some liberal friend or friends will come to our rescue. The grand concert and entertainment given last Friday night by the Third and Forth year Preparatory grades, were well attended by friends, and a neat little sum was realized for the library. The programme was excellently rendered and reflects credit upon Miss Isora R. Garnet, B. S., our secretary and teacher who had charge of the exercises.

Tue next grade concert and entertainment will be given by the second ar preparatory the first Friday night in March Prof. C. W. Mason, A. B. will be in charge of the programme. A great programme is expected, as the second year has some fine tailent, many of whom are common school teachers. Miss Mossie Henderson is on the sick list. We hope she will be in her classes soon.

In the very best feeling and in a spirit of entire farness we called attention two weeks ago to the fact that the National Baptist Publishing Board was about to issue an Easter Service and expressed our fears that this would lessen the effort for Foreign Missions which is made annually for that work. We did not believe then nor do we believe now that it was the purpose of the Publishing Board to intentionally place a single obstacle in the way of Foreign Missions and we accept with entire satisfaction the explanation made by Dr. Boyd in the National Baptist Union on that point but the inferences of our desire to raise an issue with his Board is entirely premature. In this Dr. Boyd has furnished another illustration as to how true to life is the anecdote told of the British Law, yer. He was handed a summary of a case for him to examine and report the line of argument to be pursued. After an investigation he marked across the document, "No case, Abuse the defendants attorney." He says, "If it is the intention of the American Baptist or its friends to raise war on the National Baptist Publishing Board or its Secretary, why should it not be bold enough or whatever friend it may have be bold enough to come out in the open fight." Dr. Boyd in this remark intimates that the American Baptist has some sinister motives and is trying to deliver a blow in the dark. It appears to us that this is an age when the tactics of the British lawyer might be discarded. As to whether the American Baptist is or is not spoiling for a fight with Dr. Boyd is not the question. The simple question is as to whether the issuance of the Easter programme by Dr. Boyd will prove to be good and raise no more extraneous questions, and in fact without such promise, we will now inform him that we are not contemplating any fight on its Board or Secretary. The simple fact in the matter is our Foreign Mission Board ought to enjoya monoply of the Easter arrangements so far as Negro Baptist are concerned, just as the Publishing Board enjoys a monopoly of Sunday-school literature, and Children's Day so far as competition with Negro publishing houses are concerned. Surely the best entrenched of our denominational agencies might make that much of a sacrifice for one of the weaker agencies, and in this way leave an open field to Foreign Mission Work. Then again, the issuing of an Easter service simply as a business enterprise by the Publishing Board may be construed as placing the sanction of official and denominational ap, proval upon a custom which the churches composing the National Baptist Convention do not endorse. We are sure a sober, second thought will convince the Publishing Board that the suggestion made a long these lines may be observed wit-cut injury to their specific work and that a good Baptist may make even a public suggestion to then without a single sinister or malicious motive. Some stange things happen in this country showing the peculiar con- dition which obtain in some sections and which pass with but a passing comment. In New Orleans last friday furious indignation was aroused in confederate circles because Supt. Wilson of the public schools in addressing the pupils extolled Abraham Lincoln and held him up as a model for southern school children. Almost instantly there was an outburst of indignation and be received both verbal and written protests against his utterances. The Pycaua in discussing the matter used these strong words: 'To teach the Southern children to fix such stain and stigma upon their own fathers and mothers, is little less than a crime, if indeed it is not a crime of the most serious sert. There is no reason why the children of the South should be taught to forget the glorious memories of one of the grandest and most patriotic and heroic, as it is one of the bloodiest tragedies in history.' When Gen. Gordon the Confederate leader died a few days ago President Roosevelt sent a telegram of sympathy and the flags of the Government of which Gen. Gordon had fought to destroy were placed at half mast in honor of his memory. This sentiment was approved and commended all over the South, but when the virtues of the President who was at the head of the Government that prevented Gen. Gordon and his associates from destroying it are lauded there is a vigorous protest and a strong denunciation. This action at New Orleans is both unnecessary and unwise for it shows that the era of good will and fraternity is not as deep and lasting as the South at times would have the North believe it is. It must not be forgotten that the General Association has designated two special days each year for special effort on the part of churches, sunday schools and friends in the interest of State University. March 4th is Charter Day and of this proper notices have been mailed to the churches and S. S. of the State and should the appeals have failed to reach the proper person by any cause this notice should suffice and an offering be raised next Sunday for the Educational work. President Purce advises us that the money is greatly needed and every friend is urged to come to the rescue. Dont let the weather or any other cause interfere with the collection but let it be raised and sent at once to Rev. C. L. Purce, 712 W. Kentucky St., Louisville Ky. THE death of Senator Marcus A. Hanna of Ohio removes one of the abiest, astute and most resourceful leaders of the Repulican party and a man of ability earnestness and cour age. Ten years ago he was hardly known outside of the State of Ohio but since he has managed two National campaigns in a manner to win the admiration and respect of both firmly and foe; he has been twice elected to the U. S. Senate and proven himself to be a statesman of the most exalted character. His death is no less than a national calamity and the tributes paid to his memory were no less remarkable than they were generous and sincere, and showed that he had won a warm place in the hearts of the American people. Why should a Negro just because he is a Negro, be excluded from jury service? Many of them have demonstrated as much wisdom and prudence and respect for law as the white neighbors, and nothing but better race prejudice would exclude them from the juries. The very fact that he is discriminated against in the courts is prime facie evidence that he is not likely to receive justice in those courts.—The Torchlight. Mr. Wm. H. Steward Editor of the American Baptist Louisville Ky. is being pushed as a delegate at large to the Republican National Convention.

These are among the youngest prisoners ever admitted to the penitentiary and on account of their tender years it is thought that the Governor will commute the sentence to a term in the School of Reform in Lexington. At the funeral of Rev. James Hart at Folsomville Ind. last Sunday afternoon the corpse was placed in a standing position in the pulpit during the services, Mr. Hart was an aged white Baptist minister and had been pastor of the church for fifty four years and it was his dying request that his body be placed in a standing position in the pulpit during the funeral. Great truths and great men frequently need defense, for the liar is usually so pestiferously active that unless his misrepresentations are met and refuted, the unthinking are apt to accept them as genuine. Friends of good movements and good men must be ever on the alert to condemn error, and sustain the champions of right principles.—Kentucky Standrd. The recent decision by the United States Supreme Court on the question of the Negro's right to sit on the jury was a ray of light in the midst of compound darkness. The decision, however, will do no good unless the Negro race are to askthe lower courts for the benefit thereof. As we understand it, in every cause where a Negro's liberty or property is jeopardized it is his privilege to claim a mixed jury. In every case this should be done. The man who will not contend for eis liberty shows thereby that he does not deserve it.—Ex. --- God bless our enemies, our friends can pray for themselves. Tell us who your enemies are and we'll tell you what you are. A man's friend may sweeten his cup of lie, but his enemies will put ginger in his bill of fare. The creature with out enemies is either a fool or an angel, and there is no angels here. Friends are sweet in adversity, but our enemies make life interesting upon all occasions. We sometimes overlook the fine points of our friends, but we know those of our enemies by actual contact. Are open enemy is better than a fair weather friend. We may view the funeral of a friend with indifference but that of an emeny with favor. The edge of friendship frequently grows dull, but the stiletto of emity is always keen. Friends may become a bore but enemies are never uninteresting. Friends often put a finger in our pie, but an enemy appropriates it in toto. The easy chair of friendship tends to gout and desu-stude, but a man will skate on thin ice to escape a strenuous enemy. A friend may give us a good name, but it takes an enemy to advertise us. Very indifferent indeed to the opportunities about him is the man who places a small value upon his enemies.—Norfolk News. RESOLUTION. Whereas, the Rev, C. D. Douglas, D.

Be it further Resolved: That we extend to him our most tender feeling and bid him God's speed in his new field of labor, and most heartily commend him to the officers and members of the Galesburg Baptist Church as a gospel preacher and a christian worker, and that our loss of him is Galesburg's gain.

Dearest mother, thou hast left us, Left us for the eternal rest; Gone home to our heavenly Father, Who does all things for the best. One sad, weary, year has past, Since we on three did look our last; To day loved ones their affection show, By weeping—as one year ago. We miss your form, your face and voice Your tender words of love, And hope that we may meet again, Some day in heaven above. HUSBAND AND CHILDREN.

Centennial Baptist Church Harrodsburg, Ky. This epistle will inform you of the faithful work and great success on the members of the Centennial Baptist church, Harrodsburg, Ky. and other friends and well wishers of good work in that vicinity during my pastorate. This being my new field of labor in this place, we are getting along nicely both spiritually and financially. Last Sunday, by the help of the Lord, we administered the ordinance of Baptism, after a few weeks revival meetings. There were sixteen added to the church. I took charge this church the 1st of last month, when things seemed somewhat gloomy but the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the faithful assistance of the deacons and members we have succeeded in getting "Zion" enroute to success I am glad to say that Centennial church is together once more and everything is looking forward to a bright future, quite a number of the members have fallen in line and endeavoring to do all they can to foster the much needed work in the church. I have been working for the Lord and the betterment of his people and hope you all will pray God to crown my efforts with much success, knowing that no great success can be obtained without great labor. The people of Harrodsburg never forgets sister Lillard, when I leave for home they give me all I can carry her:—preserves, sausage, chickens, hams, can fruits, pickels, etc. They have also given me two nice shirts and many things that were much accepted. I believe I have one of the best churches to its size in this district. May the Lord bless the christian work. I will do all I can, God helping me for the betterment of God's people and his cause.

"And on that day."—Our Lord had been preaching to the multitudes gathered on the shore of Lake Gennesaret. He sat in a boat far enough from the shore to be seen and heard by all. After speaking so long, he was weary. "And when even was come, he saith unto them, let us go over into the other side."—In this way he could escape from the multitudes that thronged him and have a night of rest. "And leaving the multitude they take him with them, even as he was in the boat."—That is he rowed of without going on shore. As the Lord finished his speaking they started. "And other boats were with him."—The boats on the lake had gathered round where they could hear him as he sat in his boat and when they started across the sea, they went also. It would seem that there were quite a number of these. Thus the miracle of quieting the storm had many witnesses besides the disciples who were with him. "And there arose a great storm of wind."—Very sudden and very severe storms of wind were frequent on this sea. That this was one of unusual strength is shown by the way in which the evangelists speak of it Matthew uses a word which generally refers to an earthquake, showing the storm was so great if made the earth seem to tremble. "And the waves beat into the boat insomuch that the boat was now filling."—Luke tells us they were in jeopardy. (Luke 8-23. "And he was in the hinder part of the ship asleep on a pillow."-The cushion which was on the low bench used for a seat. He was lying in the bottom of the boat with his head on this. Wearried by the long days work, he was sleeping soundly, undisturbed by the storm. "Master carest thou not that we perish?"—These men were fishermen from their youth and familiar with this sea which was noted for its fierce storms. That they were frightened shows the unusual severity of the storm. There is rude impatience in this question to their Lord; there is rebuke to him in the words, Hence it seems natural to suppose that Peter, who persumed upon another occasion to rebuke him, was the spokesman now. They had some faith, they thought he could do something if they were awake But they have gone calmly on at their work of trying to outride the storm, trusting in God. They ought to have felt that there was no safer place on earth or in heaven than this boat where the Son lay sleeping. As brave men, even if they had been alone, they ought to have faced death calmly but the words used in the various accounts show that they were frightened. We cannot throw the first stone at these trembling fishermen. How often have we shown a similar lack of faith and cried out that God had forgotten to be gracious and that his mercies were clean gone forever. It is evident that more than one of the disciples had spoken to him. Matthew give the cry of one who showed a better spirit though as little faith "Lord save us, we perish "And he arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea Peace, be still."—How we should like to know what he said to the wind in his rebuke! He was God Creator and ruler of all. The winds and the AMERICAN BAF RIDAY FEBRUARY 26 1904 sea are obedient to his word. Knowing this, how can his children ever feel fear? Instantly, there was a great calm. Not a ripple stirred on the sea; the wind was hushed. The suddenness of the change from the wild fury of the storm was awe-inspiring. The witnesses in the other boats must have been even more greatly impressed for they did not know, as thoroughly as the disciples the power he had shown in many miracles. "And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? Have ye not faith?" There was no answer even impulsive Peter could make, Alas, why were they fearful? The second question may mean faith in God's overruling Providence. They ought to have trusted to that. They knew the Lord's work was not done in the world, and that he would not drown. They ought not to have feared death, because if God's time had come to call them home, there was no easier way to die than drowning. Every Christian ought to feel that faith in God, his Father which shall make him know God will allow nothing to befall him which is not for his good. And that if death comes when he is in his line of duty that is the best of all times for him to die, and the best of all ways in which to die. Or the Lord's question may mean that they ought to have had more faith in him; to have known his power and his care for them, and that even when he was sleeping he could and would guard them from danger. His presence gave infinite security. Their little faith was wrong, and yet God overruled it for their good and His glory. Had they been brave, and possessed the faith which should most assuredly have been their, the Lord would have rested in sleep, and the boat would have reached the haven in safety. They would have thought of their own skill and strength in rowing and in managing the ship had saved them. They would have missed the mighty miracle which so showed the Godhead of the Lord, brought comfort and faith to them, and may be, salvation to many of the others in the boats which accompanied them. Such were the blessed results of their lack of faith. But these do not in the least excuse them. It is blessing and a comfort to think that God can bring good out of evil, and make even the wrath of n an glorify him. "And they feared exceedingly."—The fear of awe and not that of cowardice as the former fear had been. Man always fears in the presence of Almighty power. It is his consciousness of guilt which makes him fearful. Then the greatness of the power manifested with such quietness awed them even though that power was used in their behalf. They said no more to him. With a sense of his Godhead dawning upon their minds they asked each other, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"—There was but one answer to this question, the mighty God.
