Years ago, a lady with all her children sailed from New York to England. On the voyage the ship was wrecked, and her children were lost, and the mother alone of that family was saved. When she reached England, she sent this brief cablegram to her husband: “Saved — alone.”
Oh, it seems as if that last word took nearly all of the sweetness out of the first one: “Saved — alone.”
Dear Christian parents, may that never be what we shall have to say as we enter heaven.
