The Sleeping Lord God.

Why are ye so fearful, O ye of little faith? (Matt. 8, 26).

Soon after a terrible northwest storm a ship put into the harbor of Tönningen, which was entirely stripped of its sails and deprived of all necessary ship's tackle. The skipper, a Norwegian, had aboard his ship a wife with two little boys, of whom the one was seven, the other four years old. They had intended to go to Holland, but were driven off their course, and arrived in this harbor half dead and stripped by the waves of all their clothes and linen. When the skipper came ashore with his passengers, he pointed before all the bystanders to the seven-year-old boy, and said: "This child saved my ship. For when the storm grew violent and the danger great, I said: ""Our Lord God is dead!"" Whereupon the boy replied: ""No, not dead, but He sleeps; He will surely awake!""—The storm thereupon overturned the ship, so that it went more under than above the water, and I exhorted all that they should make themselves ready to die, for here was their grave. The boy answered: ""No, it is not so far yet, the Lord Jesus is still in the ship."" Immediately thereafter a wave threw the ship around again, and straight up on the height into the water, and it was driven into the Eider and into the harbor of Tönningen."

(Wölbing's Christian Stories.)

God Is.

Sinner, cease thy mocking;
Say no more: there is no God.
To root out God's existence,
All thy scoffing helps thee nothing.
Thou wilt soon, yea soon, pass away,
Like chaff, blown by the wind:
But the truth will stand,
Though the world itself go down.

In the deepest ground of the heart
Thou dost clearly sense it: God lives.
Deniest thou it with bold mouth:
Thy conscience resists,
And itself convicts thee of lies,
Lets thee have no rest nor peace.
Why wilt thou deceive thyself
Wantonly, O thou rash man?

Church Notice.

On the 14th Sunday after Trinity (the 21st of September) Rev. H. Wunder, who had received a call to the congregation at Chicago, was installed there by Rev. Selle. His former congregation in Centreville, Ills., although clinging to him in grateful love, had nevertheless recognized it as God's will that its beloved pastor should accept that call, in order that on a larger field of labor he might apply the gifts given him by God, and the experiences already gained and used on a smaller one, so much the more to the common good, and had, although with painful regret, dismissed him in peace and with hearty wishes of blessing to Chicago. May he here also, through his faithful administration of his office, under the gracious assistance of the LORD, become a blessing to many!
