BY THE REVEREND ROBERT J. CROCKER ST.

It was rather larger in front with a big dorsal fin and a fluke sticking up behind. I reached for my telescope. There are no whales in the Great Lakes. A sailboat floating upside down - which it was - looks very different,. not like its real self. There was not very much that the rescuers in their power boats could do to help. The sailboat skipper was in the water, climbing up on the keel, trying to get his boat upright. Every time he did so, the wind blew it over again. We were wondering about hypothermia - the skipper was rather a long time in the very cold water. We were also wondering if he couldn't uncleat his sheets so that the sails would not catch the wind each time he turned•it over. It's easy to -he a critic. Eventually our sailor climbed into one of the waiting craft which took the sailboat in tow and dragged it upside down into the lee of the land. There he was able to invert it, bail it out, and beach it. A minor summer mishap ended without tragedy. I was thinking about that boat being towed, all standing and ready to sail, but upside down. Would the fish suppose that at last someone had put things right, and that really all the other boats are wrong way up?, And is this a parable of our world? To be converted is literally to be turned around the right way. The right way, that is, according to God's perspective which is not necessarily your or my view of things. In HIS opinion should we continue the -way we are going? I suspect that we are in danger of spiritual hypothermia.
