BETTER EQUIPPED TO DIE
Many years ago the ship known as the Empress of Ireland sank. Among its many passengers were 130 Salvation Army officers. Only 21 of those Christian worker’s lives were spared, an unusually small number. Of the 109 who drowned, not one of them had a life preserver. Many of the survivors told how those brave Christians, seeing that there were not enough life belts, took their own and strapped them onto others, saying, “I know Jesus, so I can die better than you can!” Their supreme sacrifice and faithful words set a beautiful example, which for many years inspired the Salvation Army to carry on courageously for God. Over the years, millions have come to recognize that born-again individuals can face death fearlessly.
