When a torpedo strikes a ship she is nearly always doomed — sooner or later she sinks beneath the waves, while the crew try to escape in boats, and the cruel enemy watches the end of the tragedy. Satan is always marking souls down for destruction. He sends his torpedoes of temptation and sin to try and wreck human lives. Sometimes he succeeds, but oftentimes he fails.
One to whom we send parcels writes: ―
“God has brought four more to Himself since I last wrote. At the Infirmary one clear old man, after a long, and happy talk to several, burst out with: ‘I am ninety-two, and I have come to Jesus for the first time today,’ and the tears rolled down his cheeks. One wonderful part was that God laid hold of a lad of about twelve in the same ward, who said he’d been sent there because he was such a bad boy, and God seemed to work a real change in that dear boy. Now (D. V) he is to read the Testament and Travelers’ Guide to the old man Again and again and again, I feel so grateful for these books and ‘Messages from God,’ and Testaments; it seems the Lord’s own doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.”
This is a grand testimony to the power of God to deliver out of the hands of Satan.
