emanate from him—whether winds or tides or lightning flash—all to run their crmree unhindered; tor the simple reason that they arc 100 widely ordered to need any interference or to ho improved by it, But He sits upon the winda and clouds that are said to be His chariot; amid the bright sunbeams, His robe ot light; where the eolemn silent starsshinc.and the hilltops.the woods, and even the little flowers greet you with gladness, watching for the souls of Hia children, that through all these tilings He may speak to them His own thoughts, to save them from their earthlineßs, and narrowness, and selfishness ; and lift them up to His own great throne of love. For while we know nothing as to what He could or could not do with His well ordered world of matter; we know that He can and does speak, by many modes, to the soul that is so like Him in nature, when listening in love and trust. And so for this—to us—may all things exist, and God be in them—as you gee with the sparrow—that they may be a gospel of love, that through them we may know His thoughts, and so ever come nearer to Him. We can spare this world of matter to the scientist and his inexorable laws j but he cannot in rtason deny to the spirit of thought and feeling his spiritual father. Here it is we can accept what is called special individual providence. That God should alter winds or waves, to please you or me is no more reasonable than that he should suspend gravitation, which He might possibly do if you or I were the only beiDg in the Universe. But surely Ho can give thoughts to the receptive mind, which is just what we should expect him to do. And since my life depends on such thoughts, as well as external inJluenccs, indeed, since my life is the operation, of my thoughts on these external conditious, He can guide my life through my thoughts, and 1 can know it. According to the beautiful idea of Socrates, and more' beautiful of prophets and of Christ; and further, if I, as a believer, am doing the will of God, then I shall be work ing with, his thoughts, co-operating with his great world powers and influences; and so all things must work to. gether for my good, through my jovo or sympathy with God, and the calling of my life harmonising with His puippsei Tlien I know that if I perish suddenly, unexpectedly, doing hiswill,\i is best: He means it, my work is done. And if He ■would not have it so, He will not alter the winds and waves; but He may guide my thoughts and thereby my steps; and in that way the man who really lives with God— God guiding Ms thoughts—never diea before his time. > Look now at human life. One hundred human beings, about, perished with the Tararua. lam not going to take from its seriousness. Indirectly I know something of some of the parties, and the peculiarly pathetic sadness of their taking off. Let all justice be done to their memory. But is there a single human life that has not its peculiarly solemn or sad interest—if only we could see into it. And have you con sidered that that is about the number that passes out of this life into the great unseen each minute of ', time, or some 100,000 each day? Was then God more- present with that one hundred than with the nine hundred and ninety nine hundred, or was their- tak ing off more specially providential ? Igno rance or superstition might say so;- but not that spiritual perception which looks on God in all Hisways, and sees Him with every one alike, which is why we are told of the little sparrow, &c. It Is not true piety to make God a respecter of persons, and heighten the tragic effect of the one hundred to leave comparatively desolate the thousands that languish on beds of weary pain. Need they no special comfort? Or, is there anything in it specially to teach one lessons of death, its certainty—life's uncertainty? Not that I can discover; nor has it that effect. Be* cause you and I know that it is one of the least likely things, that we shall be taken off amidst the wrecks of a steamer. It is all so easy to dwell amidst the scenes of the imagination, and forget the real things of life that are close around us. Nothing is more deadening. Be cause it excites the emotions, the senti ments, without allowing them any possibility of a practical issue which is always a mortal blow to the soul. Better to look into your street 3 than out there. Thoughtfully contemplating life, I cannot think that it is well to go to exciting scenes of the kind, not even to the less sensational death-bed, to find spiritual or religious lessons specially. How many have been led astray perhaps fatally by misrepresentations of the last moments. 1 do believe that tales of dying men in. books and sermons have done sad work in making people irreligious, 'it is an unhealthy rclit-ion that is nourished by any kind of sensationalism. The husband* man learns lessons of agriculture, more from the living than from the dying plant. So does the husbandman of life. Arc there not a hundred things amongst these present human hearts, their life cares their dangers, sin and sorrows, that could teach you : spirit tual lessons nearer to hand? Ah! my friends, when will we learn that it is a more, solemn thing to live than to die. Death has no pangs after true life—unless it be to the sceptic. But how many pangs arc therein. life! .."

Once more here :.Neither is it true that this kind of death is less under the control of men than the more ordinary kinds. Uf some, perhaps, it may be said that they are; as, for instance, the 7,000 that perished by earthquake, or when volcanic eruptions; bury cities.. Though the time way como when e\en these will be within our avoidance. But any attempt to represent a wreck like this as beyond human control, and in the hands of God is misleading to a dan gerous extent, and certainly not conducive to true religion—though it is to superstition. By what right do we throw the results of our carelessness, or even of our ignorance, on God? : '.

That brings us to .the last question, What, then, should we learn from, itt Enough has been said to render it needless for me to say any more respecting the neg ligence, or carelessness, or avoidable errors, on the part of some or many, to which probably the catastrophe was entirely duo, I sympathise very much with all that Mr Isitt: is reported to have said at ParnelL' My firm impression is, that with, the modem appliances for such occasions not a single life need have been lost with the vessel; nor, with the appliances, for avoiding danger, should the vessel ever have been on those rocks. There seems scarcely room for a doubt that life has been sacrificed to .what is called economy, or, more properly, selfish money-making. You re*, member what I said some Sunday mornings back—how that at least half of human; life, on the most moderate calculations, was deliberately destroyed by the neglect, of Christ's great command of love to out neighbour. Here you have another illus tration of it. Now supposing it were proved to be so; and that the responsible parties deliberately and wilfully risked,all those lives for that economy^, for a moment what a feeling of indignation there, would be. Sightly so, Yet that is not the lesson I would wish to learn. "What is th,e' use of my learning the lesson some one else needs to practise ? Go a little deeper. What is the real ghastly truth that stares us in the face when we honestly open our eyes? Is it not this—that in all direc* turns, in ways nameable or unnnmc able, human life is being sacrificed to economy—money-getting. Mr Isitt said something about late hours; he might have said much more about that,and a score things besidi;—filthy homes, filthy streets,; gambling tables, sweepstakes, overwork,: poisouous work; dainties to be eaten ot worn, grogshops, adulterated food, un healthy clothing ; all existing and sacrificing life, for ihe making of money. It is not that you and I are more likely to .coma toan untimely end through these wrong things here in our streets, than on some steamship ; but that we are living in the midet of things that Christ condemned; and as unconcernedly as though he had never said a word about them. Do you think we can get rid of them while theit root, the love of money making, lasts? Do we not need a voice that shall reach that, and tell us that life, pure, unselfish, generous, loving life—not money—is the thing we want? Mu%t not the church itself become purer in this matter ? Do we not need most of all a voice-brave enough to tell the church to become clean-handed, and sweep out into the streets her unholy mer« chandise ? For which is worse, to. sacri fice human bodies, or divine souls before theshiineof the golden calf ? •; '-; One word concerning death. I do not think that our anxious thoughts should ba uxßd_ on that at all; for it can do no good, and it can do much harm. It should be fixed on life, on the passing hour, where ii< can do pood alone ; acd yet it is well to.be so familiar with death," that it can never take us by surprise, come when and how it may.

It is Ihe part of wisdom to live with all the capacities and energies of life in tho very fullest activity to the last, for the highest and noblest ends ; and to die with the most perfect calm, as though all was finished here, and we fall iuto a momentary slumber, expecting the awakening to more perfect "day.
