Lifeguard’s Ability To Tell

A friend of mine said to a life-saver at Newport, R. I.: “How can you tell when anyone is in need of help when there are thousands of bathers on the beach and in the water making a perfect hub-hub of noises?” To which he answered: “No matter how great the noise and confusion, there has never been a single time when I could not distinguish the cry of distress above them all. I can always tell it.” And that is exactly like God. In the midst of the babel and confusion he never fails to hear the soul that cries out to him for help amid the breakers and storms of life.
