Down by the seacoast six little children were playing in a boat. A thoughtless boy pushed the boat out from shore. Before they were missed, they had drifted far out to sea. Boats were sent out in all directions to search for them but all in vain. Many prayers went up to God and sorrowing parents spent a sleepless night.
The poor helpless little ones were tossed on the wide ocean all night. Then in the morning a fishing boat was out and saw a speck on the water far in the distance. They came up close and found it to be the missing boat. In the bottom were the six children all cuddled together, fast asleep. An overruling, loving God had mercifully protected them to the unutterable joy of their parents and friends. What thanksgiving went up to God when the little ones arrived home safe and sound.
