I am very sure, dear friends, that with me you have been singing the doxology in your hearts as we have been listening to these wonderful testimonies of Mr. Hadley and Mr. Monroe and Mr. Reed, and I have a fear that what I shall say may sound somewhat tame after these words to-night; but it is just for the purpose of making that sort of testimony less frequent that we are so interested in the Sunday School.
The government has two ways of saving life on the ocean. It takes a number of men and plants them in this place and says: “You are to conduct a live-saving station.” They have all the apparatus for that sort of work, but they must wait until the ships are on the rocks, until the men are struggling in the water for their lives before they can send men out to save them. Then the government has another way—the lighthouse. It plants this house and says: “You live in this house, and before the ships get onto the rocks you warn them off, and show them from the place of danger into a place of safety.” The rescue-mission work that these dear brothers are giving their lives for is the life-saving station, but the Sunday School is trying to save life by the light-house plan rather than the life-boat plan. We are trying to keep these boys and girls off the rocks.
