110 * From the Watchn .n of the South. THE LIFK PRESERVER. S Maw ohr hearts vrere moved, as- we road g the ?r?d history of the fate of the sic am-boat Le.iington ! As she was passing up Long ) I^falkFSound on the night of the of! January with at least 150 persons on board, I v * about nine o'clock at night,ithc alarm of) ' fire called all the passengcrs\on deck to i ? witness the rapid advance of thb devouring flames, and make choice of combatting with * them, or the deep waters of \ne Sound free- 1 zing under the intense cojd of the winter's < wind. What a spectacle J-1?a burning ship? I a crowd of passengers?-angry waves?the land at a fearful distance?the shore bound j 1 with ice ! The time of making choice soon j passed jway, and the raging fires master, j iag all opposition came on them with relenN j less fury. The boats were ail launched, or rather j thrown overboard in the confusion and ter- ( rorof the moment, an 1 were swept away. ; Then were the ptssengers driven Jo the ex- ! tremities of the vessel, and must soon burn j or commit themselves to the freezing waters, j Who could hope to reach the land in that j dreadful nigh'. ? As we read and contemplated the horri. ; bio situation, we exclaimed, oh where was the life preserver f The life preserver ! What is a life pre- j rorver ? A little belt so prepared and filled j with a?r, that put around the body under. ! neath the arms it will enable a person to ! keep upon the surface of the water a long time, Oh ! we thought if tiie mariners had life preservers th^y might have recovered the boats, and taken off a great many perhaps all the passengers sate. The fire raged on, and on, and drove the helpless passengers, one attrr unoiner, 10 inc , waves, to contend with t!.o wind, and the j ice, and the waters, and with sach other, for ! the poor chance of being saved by floating timbers and bals. Oh ! we thought, if they had on life preservers, perhaps they could, notwithstanding j their terror, have gotten upon floating pieces j of the wreck. Perhaps they would have ; perished under the severity of that cold nigh',* j but thry might perfvtps more of them have j gotten to land, thankful even with much damage, to escape with their lives. How affecting the fact about the mother ! and her two litiie children. Securing her- J elf with one'child upon a floating bale, she j sought to catch the other who leaped after ! her into the deep, and fost her hold upon the j bale as she grasped Ii?tchild?then s rugg. | ling a few moments with the waves, and em- [ bracing her children, went down beneath the ! waters. Who can tell but, with a life pre- I terser, she might have regained her position and cold as was the nigh: might have gained the land ? . The sea captains and old mariners onboard might, by the help of a life preserver, have formed rafts and float?, and crowding I the passengers upon them, have rowed them j to the land. Perhaps all would have perish. ; ed by the chilling winds and freezing waters, i but we cannot help dwelling on the perhaps, I many would have been saved. My dear reader, passenger on the voy~ t age of life, full of hopes and expectations, i death, in some of the various forms, is just j about to drive you into the great ocean of' eternity, in whose depths there are flames J that never go out, and miseries that never ! end. Have you got on your life preserver, j that you may swim otf to the occcan of : God's love, and to the land of eternal rest ? i Do you ask what is this life preserver ? Let Jesus Christ answer?44 He that believeth in nfe, though he wore dead, yet shall he tivo _ nnd whosoever live.fi and believeth in I ? r me-shail never die ;"(John si; 24, 25,?and agn?n?14 They shall never perish, neither | shall any man pluck them out of my hand." j Christ is the giver of hfe to sinners; and j faith in him Is their safety. A man feels that he is safe when he has reason to believe that Christ is his ; and that he can appropriate to himself the promises j of the Gospel. He has lost his fears though death is terrible. When we think how many were hurried j out of life in the burning of thut boat, we ; cannot avoid hoping that many were h? hi | up from the pit of w oe by Jesus Christ; and j we should rejoice if any one could assure ! lis, on ^oo<j grounds, that all had a good , faith. They probably nil knew about the life preserver. Oh that they all had it on. Christ says,44 If any man will open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him and ! he with me." VVe mentally ask, if any sup. \ ped thut night with Christ, while ihcy took j their last meal, and then went to sup with I him in heaven ? We hope some did. My dear render, do you ask Christ to preside at your meals that you may also sit with him in heaven ? Death came very suddenly to them. They ; were hastening on-~some to their business j and some to their homes. There was the j mariner returning from a long voyage, the j mnrrhant nursuir^ his traffic, the man of! pleasure in search of enjoyment, and parents end little children returning from'b visit, and death oame on them a!J in a few moments. My dear reader are yon ready for a sudden death? Grave-yards commonly exhibit in their silent mounds, evidence of a company of similar age, and similar employments with the company gathered in that boat.. Now, my dear reader, as you may die soon, have you, I would ask, have you put on your life preserver ? You have perhaps seen depart from this life those, about whom you thought they had the faith of the Gos- , pel ; antPpou thought they had gone safe, i though Jordan's waters are cold. 1 And perhaps you h ive also seen some 1 go out of life that professed no faith in j Christ; and you felt full of fears. Some, j' times perhaps you wished the Bible were |? not true; and then again you hud great: 1 fears about their estate. You would have 1 given much, perhaps all your property, could j j you have been assured that they had gone 11 safe with their life preserver, Christ says he will give you ore without | mon^y and without price. Will you ask | I it for one ? " He that asketh receive i ii mi -Ml- HB.I u i?aw A nofed unbeliever, when about to suffer hi| wreck, filled his clothes wjth^silver. and ;old t> sueh a degiee.he coull not swim a noment. Perhaps the world has hold ol ruuand will drown vou in perdition. A good Ife preserver will keep out the vaicr, while it holds in the air, and will be arge enough to float the body when lashed tround the breos-. ^ 1. A man's faith is good when it possesses bis heart. He loves what he believes. 'Thou who knowestall things?thou know, jst that I love thee"wiih the heart man Relieves unto righteousness." 2. When it possesses his understanding, lie knows what he 'believes ; and loves what he knows. * UI know ih whom I have believed." 3. When it governs the thouglfs and the words. "With ihe heart man beheveth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." 4. When it.lays hold on the promises of GoJ, which are very abundant and precious, and wjl! fit every person in every cond tioii in which he wili make trial of thorn. Most especially does faith help a poor soul in the trying hour of death. My dear reader, do not rest till you have got on your fife preserver. F. II. W.
