Some years ago there came down a
fierce storm on the sea coast. and a YES
sci got in the breakers and was going
/ to pieces They threw up some signal
of distress, and the people on shore saw
them They put out in a lifeboat
/ They came on, and they saw the poor
sailors, almost exhausted, clinging TO a
raft; and so afraid were the boatmen
/ that the men would give up before they
/ got to them, they gave them three
/ rounds of cheers, and cried: Hold on,
/ therei hold on! Wen save you?''
/ After awhile the boat came IN.
| One man was saved by having the boat
/ hook put in the collar of his coat;
| and some in one way and some in
| another; but they all got into the boat
| Now" says the captain. ''for the
/ shore Pull away now, pullp The
! people on the land were afraid the life
I boat had gone down. They said: How
/ long the boat stays. Why, it must have
| been swamped and they have all per
| ished together" And there were men
| and women on the pier heads and on
| the beach wringing their hands; and
/ while they waited and watched they
/ saw something looming up through the
mist and it turned out to be the life
| boat As soon as IL came within speak
! ing distance the people on the shore
/ cried out: did you save any of them ?''
And as the boat swept through the
| boiling surf and came to the pier
| head the captain waved his hand over
/ the exhausted sailors that lay fiat on
| the bottom of the boat and cried: "All
| saved! Thank God! All savedi" So
/ may it be to-day. The waves of your
| sin run high, the storm is on you, but ]
| cheer you with this gospel hope. God
! grant that within the next ten minutes
| we may row with you into the harbOr
of Gods mercy. And when these Chris
tan men gather around to see the re-
| suit of this service, and the glorified
! gathering on the pier heads of Heaven
to watch and to listen, may we be able
| to report all saved! Young and old
good and badl All saved! Saved fOl

came to pass that they all escaped safe
