The only thing to dampen his enthusi asm was the expected moment when the waiter would bring the check. When he sought to pay he was told, “Why, Sir, there’s no charge for your dinner. The money you paid for your ticket in Boston covered the cost for all meals aboard ship.” That must have been quite a revelation for him. No doubt he berated himself for living on star vation rations. Yet, when you stop to think about it, there are many people who are not willing to partake of those blessed things which the Lord has pur chased and provided for us by His death on Calvary’s cross. We cling so tenaciously to our time, talen , and tithe, to our very lives, for some strange reason, fearful of completely trusting Christ our Lord and Saviour. The Word of God says that the Lord will provide for all of our needs. Therefore, we are to “take no thought for the morrow, what ye shall eat, what ye shall drink or wherewithal ye shall be clothed. . . . Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteous ness; and all these things shall be add ed unto you.”
upon the vessel and people were in mortal fear of losing their lives. Trying to comfort his passengers, the captain made his rounds of the cabins, instruct ing the people to remain inside and be as quiet as possible. When he knocked on the door of this dear Scottish wo man, however, he found her singing, instead of fretting like the others. For a moment he wondered if she had gone crazy with fear. Urgently he cautioned her, “Ma’am, don’t you know this ship could sink at any moment? A time like this is serious.” In her beautiful broad brogue she answered with a smile, “Captain, I have two daughters. One lives in New York, and the other lives in Heaven. The way I look at it is if the vessel makes America, I ’ll be with my daughter in New York. I f it goes down, then I ’ll be with my daughter in Heaven. Either way it can’t but be a wonderful meeting.’’ The Apostle Paul had this in mind when, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he penned, “For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.” Either way he would be a winner. How blessed to have the confidence that to be “absent from the body” is to be “present with the Lord!” * It is sad when our troubles try us more than our transgressions. * * * UNUSED GIFTS Travel has always been fascinating to me, as well as stories about those who are privileged to go abroad. Have you heard about the man who bought a steamship ticket in Boston, heading for a cruise to New Orleans? The fare was so expensive that he decided to take along an ample supply of cheese and crackers, feeling he couldn’t afford to buy meals on board. What a diet! It took all the will power and stamina he could muster to keep from succumb ing to the aroma of the hot meals at dinner-time, as excellent dishes were being served. Finally, on the last night out, it was all too much for him. Re gardless of the cost, he determined to eat his fill. The meal that evening was more than he could have anticipated. * *
