In the darkness of night they sent out distress signals which were picked up by another ship which was soon in a position to help. The rescue ship signaled asking what they should do and received the replay, "Please stand by us until mor- ning". The captain radioed back, "Let me take your passengers on board now", but the other replied, "No, it will be easier to make the transfer in daylight." The rescue ship could do no more. The crew men went abouttheir duties, looking from time to time through the darkness at the lights of the other ship. Suddenly there were no lights! Without warning she sank. Not a person was saved. The captain had thought there would be a better time to be saved, but was lost. God in His love has made a way for every person to be saved. Christ died under the penalty for our sins. He rose again and invites any who desires salvation to come to Him. Come unto Me...I will give you rest. Mat- thew 11:28.
