A splendid example of this was shown by the stewardess of the Ste/la. which was wrecked on a rock off The Channel Islands. Just as the boat, in which she was seated. was pushing off she noticed a passenger still on the doomed ship and immediately she stepped back on board and gave up her seat. She was a regular attendant at Church and Holy Communion. She had learned her lesson ot‘self-sacrifice in the great Sacrifice on Calvary. "lfany man wishes to come after me let him take up his cross daily and follow me." Many Christians fail to realise that the way of Christ is the way of the Cross.
