ing land, plotted to escape in the boa Is
under the pretext that they were
about ito lay out anchors from the
bows" Paul prevented their escape
by pointing out their cowardly plan to
desert the ship and bring all into peril.
Upon the apostles suggestion, the cen
turion issued the orders and the sol
dierS prevented their leaving by set
ting the boat adrift.
Saved From Shipwreck.
Paul called upon them to get ready
for the task of the coming morning by
calling upon them to eat and sleep.
He assured them of their source Of
safety, when, taking bread, he poured
out his Thanksgiving prayer before the
soldiers. sailors and passengers. Most
Of those present were idolaters. II
opened up the way for them to be
converted after he succeeded in res
suing them from the wreck, through
his sagacious plan. The seamen, whom
he had kept on board. obeyed the cap
tain's commands, which no landlubber
could have done When he ordered
them to cast loose the anchor, unlash
the rudder paddles and steer straight
for the beach, they were encouraged
by Paul's attitude to try and make a
landing. Although they had unloaded
the wheat in an effort to beach the
boat, they failed to save it. The cur
rent of the narrow channel that cuts
the small Island of Saimonetta from
Malta formed sandbars by meeting
the tide of the bay. now called st.
PauIs. The ship got caught fast on
one of these sandbars, and soon began
to break up through the action OF the
heavy sea upon it's stern.
Pauls influence over julius resulted
in the centurion restraining the sol
ders from executing their merciless
purpose. which their Roman discipline
had taught them OF always destroying
the prisoners lives when there was
danger Of their escaping. They feared
that they would be disgraced and their
own lives jeopardized If the prisoners
escaped. Paul succeeded in saving all
Gods word was fulfilled. The apostle
not only prayed. but he used every
reasonable and practical means &c
help answer his own prayers. The
most practical man Of all men should
be d spiritual man. Faith without
works spells failure. Paul combined
confidence in Gods power with an ef
fort to do His will. If we follow his
example and trust our Lord at al
times we can turn life's greatest trials
into triumphs that will bring glory
and honor TO our Lord. who calls upor
us not to fear, but to trust Him ano
do His will.
