WHILST bathing in the sea at a well-known health resort I got caught by the tide, and not being able to swim, I was carried out to sea, and in great peril of being drowned.
A fisherman seeing my danger came to the rescue. You can picture the look of relief and hope which lit up my face at the sight of a rescuer. It was a matter of life or death, and that in a few moments at most.
I would ask you a question in relation to a matter of far higher importance. Has your face ever lighted up as you heard the good news of the Savior coming to rescue poor sinners from the eternal death that awaits them? If not, why not?
If not saved, turn, I beseech you, to the Savior before it is too late. The tide of life may carry you out into the ocean of eternity—carry you out too far, and what if it were beyond the reach of the Rescuer. Remember it is only in this life that the Savior is offered you.
