'ANDTHERE WASJJO MORE SEA Dr. Wyatt Preaches From a Familiar Text to Large Audience. The Methodist Episcopal Church crowded to its fullest rapacity on Sunday morning lust, many members of the Methodist Protestant Cliurch being present on account of (lie absence Inini town of the Rev. Ur.

'I'. O. Grouse. The discourse was delivered in Dr. Wyalt's usual eloquent and effective way.

His text was from (lie 2 I chapter and first verse of Revelations "And there was no more Rea." The pastor said in John, the beloved disciple, was IKIIV an exile on the Island of Patmos, rocky, barren island in the Aegean Sea. Here the Roman Government established a convict settlement. When a subject incurred the displeasure of fhe Emperor lie got rid of the culprit by banishing him to an island in the sea. This seems to have been the favorite mode of punishment with Domitian. during whose reign John was banished to this sea-gin island and compelled to work in the tin mines.

He was now .111 old man and his life had been full of tragic and pathetic experiences. He was not banished because lie was a disturbei of the public peace, nor a corrupter ol morals. He had been indexible in his loyalty to the truth, lie was to the record, lor the Word of God and for (lie testimony of Jesus Shut up on this inhospitable island, John longed for the fellowship of the Christian of Asia Minor. He says, "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day." One Sabbath motniug, I fancy, he climbed (o the i ol a dill, and as he looked eastward across the blue waters of the Aegean in the direction ol Kphesus, where he was once pastor, tie had a vision of the new heaven and the new earth, in which he says "The Sea is No More." This text is symbolic. To appreciate it we must look through the eyes of the ancients as far as possible.

They regarded the sea as an object of fear and terror. They believed hideous monsters rode upon its waves, and that if one dared to cross the equator he would be turned into a negro. The compass was not then known. There were no ocean steamers, as we have today. Their baiques were frail and they kept close (o the shore.

Only the most adventurous would risk their lives upon its treacherous waves. The Jews were not a sea-faring people; the Phoenicians were thegreat maritime nation o( antiquity. They steered their vessels beyond the Pillars of Hercules, as far as 'ornwall, England. The jews were no sailors; they were a pastoral people. The sea-board of Canaan only contained one or two harbors; the most notable was Eiion Geber.

To the ancients the sea was the symbol of separation. It was a barrier between the ancieut people and made them exclusive and selfish. Every country had its own gods, its own system of religion, and looked with suspicion upon other people's. The sea separated John from loving friends and deprived him of Christian fellowship. But he (ells us what shall be in the new heaven and the new earth.

"There shall Be No More Sea." Some have loved ones beyond the sea. They watched the outgoing ship upon which you took passage. It faded away in the distance and with sad hearts they returned home. The wide sea rolled between them and you. They still linger on the shores of time, hoping for a reunion before they go hence.

But many family circles thus broken will never be re-united on earth. Many ol our loved ones have gone out from us, many with whom we had delightful fellowship. But not one word has been heard since "the fluttering spirit breathed its last farewell." No word of tiding has come to us from across the sea, not one whisper. We often long to hear again "the voice that is hushed, and to feel the touch of a vanished hand." But death lias set his wide rolling sea betweeu us. Often as we climb to some lofty height in our Christian experience we catch a glimpse of the neiv heaven and the neiv earth, and exclaim, "one day there shall be no more sea," no more separation.

They worship there, we worship here; but one day we shall be gathered in a sublimer worship. No ship shall ever sail out from that heavenly harbor to bear away our loved ones. The sea is the symbol of mystery. The Psalmist said, "Thy way, Lord, is in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters." The sea is full of mystery. Men do uot know much about the geography of the sea.

But, perhaps, the'sea will one day give up its mysteries. They are taking pictures of the fish in the sea. This photographic invention may be to perfected Hut its hidden depths will be explored. The sea, with its many sound- ng voices, symbolizes the mysteries which surround us. The mysteries of life aud the mysteries of Providence are past finding out.

The Psalmist declares, "Thy judgments, Lord, are a great leep." Cod moves In a mysterious way Ilia wonders to perform; Ha plants hla footsteps on the sea, And rides upon the John may have asked "why am I shut up on this rocky island, while thousands of wicked people are enjoying their liberty." But it was while he was in exile that he saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven, as a bride adorned for her hus- aand. Blind unbelief Is sure to err. And scan Ills work In vain; God Ii Ills own Interpreter. And He will mske It plain. While John was in exile he wrote the coronal of Revelation, the last book in the Sacred Canon.

Our trials are the discipline of love. "Thy way is in the sea." But the time will come when all shall be made plain. I know not where His Itlandi lift Thtlr fronJed palms In air: 1 only know 1 cannot drift Beyond Hla love and care. And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar; No harm from Ulra can come to me On ocean or on shore. The sea was the symbol of unrest Jeremiah said, "There is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet." Isaiab said, wicked are like the troubled sea which cannot waters cast up mire and dirt." John saw the restless waves as they beat against the rocky coast.

lie saw iu the seething waters a symbol of his own troubled Hie. There is so much unrest here. The causes are many: Sickness, suffering, poverty, death. But there shall be no more sea. There lemainelh.

therefore, a rest to the people of God. And shall wipe all tenri from their eyes. The sea is the symbol of danger. It it the hoiue of the storm. Thousands of ships and vessels go down beneath its concealing Many have loved ones who sleep in its solitary depths.

They have no winding sheet but the seaweeds, and no requiem but the roar of old orean. Shipwreck is a dreadful word. As we cross the sea of a life many storms beat upon our frail barque. The of lemptatiou threaten our destruction. Sometimes we are under starles-, skies and are driven by contrary winds.

Many have made a shipwreck of faith. I have seen them go down. Hut if we have Christ for our Pilot no storm can destroy us, and one day we shall reach the harbor where there will be no more sea, no more danger. No tempest howls along its peaceful shore. Soon the storms will all be over.

And we'll anchor In the harbor: We are out on the ocean salting. To a homo beyond tha tide. Orphans' Court Proceedings. Judges Liden, Moore and Covey were present in the Orphans' Court Tuesday.

Damage Suits. One the biggest damage suits ever heard here will be before the Circuit Court for Caroline county at the April term. It is a claim for $25,000. The plaintiffs are Christos Aleviza and Nick lous Avlamis, Greeks, who are engaged in the candy and restaurant business in Chestertown, and the defendants are Harry R. Graham, Merrick Clements and William C.

Button, hardware merchants and owners of automobiles. There is also another suit for $15,000 in the Easton court. Tbe action at law grew out of an automobile accident on Sep tember 2d last, when a big bus, which usually runs fiom Chestertown to Tolchester, was returning from Betterton. Particulars of the smash-up were published in many papers. The News, of Chestertown, in noting it, said: "Upon round lag the corner made by tbe intersection of the Betterton road with the road from Still Pond creek to Still Pond, two teams were suddenly encountered; i was impossible to stop the car and in attempting to avoid running into these teams the driver ol tbe autontobile had to swing the car to his extreme right.

Unfortunately for all concerned a big gully is said to have been in the road at this point; the wheels of the machine went into this gully causing it to lean heavily and strike a telephone pole that was also leaning out over the road." The plaintiffs, who were riding on the front seat, were injured, one of them very severely, it is claimed. They, it is said, ascribe the accident to the chauffeur, claiming he was intoxicated. There was no accident insurance available, and owners of the bus alone must defend he suit. That the contest will be a strenuous one there is no doubt. Many people will be interested in this litigation in view of the fact that it will in all probability involve important questions of tbe auto and the road, brought to the fore by the conditions of present day travel Queen Anne.
