> Lesson 5 - Introduction > In 1939, the men of the submarine Squalus knew they had taken their last > dive and were lying helpless at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, 240 feet > below the surface. They sent up smoke flares and a marker that would > float, > and colored the waters with dye so passing ships or planes would see where > they were. > > Would one of their sister ships find them? If their submarine were found, > could they be rescued? All help must come from above. There was no > possibility of help from any other direction. There, in silence, they > waited. Every hour seemed like days. > > The men who were trapped in Squalus had to wait for help from above as > rescuers attempt to send a bell to the broken submarine. > > Within less than an hour after that fatal dive, another submarine, the > Sculpin set out in search of them. In a few hours the red film on the > surface of the water was seen, then the marker. > > But 24 hours passed before any real rescue work could be started. Think of > the long, long hours there in the darkness of that submarine! > > Then a giant, ten-ton diving bell went down again and again, each time > bringing up several men. At last, all 33 men who were still alive in the > submarine were saved from an awful death. > > When the great diving bell was lowered, not one sailor refused to be > saved. > All were glad to accept the way to safety. > > If we are to be saved and have a place in God’s kingdom, we must accept > His > way of salvation. Remember, all the help we ever get will be from above, > not > from this earth. Salvation is from God. > > Do you want to be a Christian? Would you like to be a Christian, but do > not > know how to begin? Well, this lesson is especially for you. > > Thousands of people everywhere want their lives to be right with God. How > can we be saved from sin? It is very simple and easy. Anyone, even a child > can understand how to get ready for heaven. > > > > > >
