He had returned home on Easter Sunday after the service when he received an urgent call to go sixty miles to help a young man on whom he had previously operated. Crossing the ice the next day, as it was breaking up, he found that he was on a piece which was drifting into the open Atlantic. Three of his dogs were killed, and from their bones he made a flagpole; while their coats were used to keep him warm during the night. All night long he drifted, but was rescued in the morning, although there seemed little probability that he would be. Through the night, expecting death at any moment, there ran through his mind the words of an old hymn which came back to him from his boyhood days: “My God, my Father, while I stray Far from my home, on life’s rough way, O teach me from my heart to say, Thy will be done!” Referring to this rescue, Dr. Grenfell said: “As I went to sleep that first night there still rang in my ears the same verse of the old hymn which had been my companion on the ice, ‘Thy will, not mine, O Lord.’” There is much significance in a ceremony associated with Dedicating a Lifeboat Five hundred lives had been saved by a lifeboat service at the Scilly Islands just off the coast of Cornwall, England, between 1828 and 1930. These islands are near the main lines of Atlantic travel. A new lifeboat costing $42,500 was dedicated in August, 1930. It was named the _Cunard_ in honor of the donors, the Cunard Steamship Company. This boat is fitted with twin screws and two engines, each of forty horsepower, which could work even though the engine room were filled with water. She has water-tight compartments, generates her own electricity and is manned by a crew of eight men. Two prayers were offered by ministers, and two hymns were sung. Led by the local band, the assembled company, who fully realized the perils of the great waters, joined in singing: “Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bidds’t the mighty ocean deep, Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. “O Christ, whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walkedst on the foaming deep, And calm amid the storm didst sleep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea.” Equally appropriate was the second hymn rendered: “O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home!” The confidence of such faith is illustrated in What Led to “He Leadeth Me” The birthplace of this world-renowned hymn was marked in Philadelphia by a tablet containing the first stanza and the following inscription:
