“HELP"! The shrill cry echoed across the water. It was Olive calling. She was swimming with her friend Nessie in the Prairie River; but the treacherous current had carried the two girls far from the bank. Olive suddenly realized that Nessie was in trouble. She was not only out of her depth, but without strength to swim back to land. Olive knew she could not save Nessie.
But her call for help was heard on the river bank. Immediately a strong swimmer was in the water and swam swiftly to Olive’s side.
“Not me!” she cried, “save Nessie!” Soon strong arms were carrying Nessie to safety. Rescued just in time!
Many are drifting down the stream of time in grave danger of being lost forever. Have you ever called to the Lord Jesus to save a friend of yours? Or to save you?
“Call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.” Psalm 50:15.
“Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Rom. 10: 13.
