PLEASE save me next—O! please save me next!” cried a little girl to a young officer. The ship on which both had been journeying was sinking, and the boats were being rapidly filled with terrified passengers. The child knew her need, and with piteous cry sought to call attention. Alas! for her there was no deliverance; before she could be saved the vessel sank, carrying with it to a watery grave many who, a little before, had been rejoicing in the prospect of soon reaching their homes, and being welcomed by their loved ones. There was no saviour for them.
There is a Saviour for you—a present and permanent Saviour, and if your cry goes up,
“Please save me next!” that cry shall be answered with immediate salvation, for there stands written again and again in the Word of God, who cannot lie—
“WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OE THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.”
