God be with you till we meet again!
God be with you till we meet again!
Keep love’s banner floating o’er you;
Smite death’s threatening wave before you;
God be with you till we meet again!
—J. E. Rankin, D.D.
RE-DEDICATION TO WORK
To a running accompaniment of half smothered ejaculations, Kenneth McIntyre, a member of the Salvation Army, in New York on the following Sunday told of the way in which, while swimming for his life in the icy waters of the St. Lawrence River, he had re-dedicated himself to work for his Maker and his organization.
“God bless you,” “The Lord be praised,” “Thy will be done,” in women’s voices full of emotion would be answered by “Amen” in the deeper bass of some of the men officers. For the greater part of the time Mr. McIntyre’s audience hung breathless on his words.
Mr. McIntyre was the first survivor from the Empress of Ireland disaster to arrive in New York City. He was a member of the Canadian staff band of the Salvation Army.
