"And there was a great calm"

D. MURIEL SAVARY

How often in the student's progress in Christian Science, in the midst of turmoil, comes the need for proving the truth as did the Master when he stilled the storm: "And there was a great calm"! How often from the sick, the sinning, the heart-weary, or the unemployed comes the pitiful human cry which preceded that great calm, "Lord, save us: we perish"!

In this wonderful narrative we have full proof of the power of divine Love to still the raging tempest. Apparently seeking peace and rest, Jesus had retired to a ship, and leaving his disciples to guide it to the other side of the lake, he fell asleep. Presently the wind swept the lake and a storm arose, and "the ship was covered with the waves;" but the Master quietly rested. The raging elements could not disturb his peace.
