WHO CAN DIE BETTER
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 workers’ 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 lifebelts, took off their own and strapped them on to 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. From “Windows on the Word”, from Our Daily Bread, compiled by Dennis DeHaan
