A party of men were shipwrecked and adrift in a small boat on a stormy sea in the mid-Atlantic Ocean.
One night, the men saw the light of a passing ship. But how could they attract the attention of those on the ship?
They had a lantern—but only one match.
That solitary match was all that stood between them and the liner that was steaming by.
With a prayer on his lips and with trembling fingers, a young sailor struck the match.
Shielding the match with his cupped hands, he lit the lantern.
On the liner, the lookout man spotted the light, informed the captain, and soon the men were saved.
Amid the stormy seas of life and against the background of eternity, the present moment flickers like that lighted match.
