A SHIP was being beaten to pieces on the Goodwin Sands, and again and again the lifeboat was driven back by the sea, unable to reach the crew, who were clinging to the rigging. The shipwrecked men were Germans, and some of the poor fellows were in despair, fearing the lifeboat would give up the attempt, when one of their number called to his mates― “They are Englishmen; they will save us or die!”
Would to God each one of our Christian readers would struggle in the face of all storms and opposition to save souls as did the lifeboat’s crew.
