User-Contributed Transcription with pale lips he exclaims, "save me, O, my God!"Too often does our own experience accordwith this. When life is calm and peaceful, howinclined we are to harbor unjust doubts of God'spower and love, but when sudden danger assailsus, involuntarily we acknowledge him,and passionately cry to him for help.Selfish as this may be, does it not teacha lesson we would do well to heed?What is it that thus leads the heart from all falsetrust, and turns its cry to the only one who canhelp? May it not be something implanted inour being by our kind Creator, akin to theinstinct with which he has armed his dumbcreatures? And if so, is it not a safer guide thanour prejudiced, misguided reason, which sooften fails us when most needed? Instinctnever errs; its lessons, though limited, are alwaysperfect, and does not this involuntary stretchingof the hands to God when danger is imminent,seem like an instinctive cry in the right direction,which we can with safety repeatin our calmer moments?
