Cynthia was plainly pleased by the compliment. "How is Cousin Eph?" she asked. "Happy as a lark," said Bob, "the greatest living authority in New England on the Civil War. He's made the post-office the most popular social club I ever saw. If anybody's missing in Brampton, you can nearly always find them in the post-office. But I smiled at the notion of your being a school ma'am."
The revelation of divine truth, therefore, as the foundation of our faith, reached its highest level in the Son. We need not look for another gospel hear him. See Eph. 2; 3:1-10.
May God help us to choose aright! 'In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, ... the earnest of our inheritance. Eph. i. 11, 14. A dewdrop twinkles into green and gold as the sunlight falls on it. A diamond flashes many colours as its facets catch the light.
Had that torpedo contained the fighting service charge of two hundred pounds of gun-cotton it would have shattered and sunk the biggest, staunchest, proudest battleship afloat. "It's uncanny isn't it?" gasped Jack Benson, feeling an odd shudder run over him. "Yep!" agreed Eph Somers, blaster of day-dreams. "But say?" "Well?" demanded Captain Jack.
"Why, you're submarine boat, of course," came the answer. "Guess not!" responded Eph, briskly. "Why, yes; we're newspaper men, and it's business, not fun with us." The boat containing the speaker lay lightly alongside at this moment. In another moment the young man in the bow would have clambered up on deck, but Eph called down to him: "Hold on! Stay where you are.
And if we only go to Him, as I pray we all may, and continue there, and ask from Him strength, according to the riches that are treasured in Jesus Christ, we shall get the old answer, 'According to your faith be it unto you. 'God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ. Eph. ii. 4, 5.
"Guess you'd better, Cynthy," and he held it out to her with a trembling hand. Cynthia did open it, and drew out a large document with seals and printing and signatures. "Cousin Eph," she cried, holding it under his nose, "Cousin Eph, you're postmaster of Brampton!" Ephraim looked at the paper, but his eyes swam, and he could only make out a dancing, bronze seal. "I want to know!" he exclaimed.
"Yes; even that!" mocked Eph, picking up a fragment of rock. "And keep quiet, unless you want me to batter your head in!" It was this rough, vigorous sea-talk, backed by a belief that young Somers would prove equal to his threat, no doubt, that made Millard allow his left wrist to be brought over to meet the right. "You've got those things on too tight," complained Millard, sullenly.
As the believer would by faith draw out of Christ, through the conduit of the promises, which are all "yea and amen in him," 2 Cor. i. 20. grace, strength, knowledge, courage, or whatever his fight in this warfare calleth for, to the end he may be strong in "the Lord, and in the power of his might," Eph. vi. 10; so he would by faith roll the weight of the whole work upon Christ; and thus cast himself, and his care and burden on him who careth for him, 1 Pet. v. 7.
Yet Jack and Eph relieved each other regularly at the wheel, catching long naps between. Hal and Mr. Farnum did the same thing with the engine room, and the "Hastings" kept well in the van through the day, and also through the long night that followed. Two hours after daylight the "Oakland" signaled to the submarines to run up close to this "parent vessel," the gunboat.
