No, 99.                   The Life-Boat.

"We watched the wreck with great anxiety. The life-boat had been out some hours, but could not reach
the vessel through the great breakers that raged and foamed on the sand-bank. The boat appeared to be leaving
the crew to perish. But in a few minutes the captain and sixteen sailors were taken off, and the vessel went down.
" ' When the life-boat came to you, did you expect it had brought some tools to repair your old ship ?' I said.
" ' Oh no ; she was a total wreck. Two of her masts were gone ; and if we stayed mending her, only a few
minutes we must have gone down, sir.'
"' When off the old wreck and safe in the life-boat, what remained for you to do ?                                                 
" ' Nothing, sir, but just to pull for the shore.'"
" If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature : old things are passed away ; behold, all things are become new."
2 Cor. v. 17.
"Wherefore, my beloved, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."—Phil. ii. 12.
2. Trust in the life-boat, sailor ; all else will fail;
3. Bright gleams the morning, sailor ; uplift the eye.'
Stronger the surges dash and fiercer the gale :
Clouds and darkness disappearing, glory is nigh !
Heed not the stormy winds, though loudly they roar ;
Safe in the life-boat, sailor ! sing evermore,
Watch the "bright and morning star," and pull for
" Glory, glory, hallelujah !" Pull for the shore!
the shore.
