Will Power Without God

A SAILOR on one of Her Majesty's vessels tumbled out of the rigging; in his fall he caught with both hands a rope; and observers said, “He is saved!” But the rope itself had no fastening, and he fell farther and faster, as the rope payed out, till he struck the deck a mangled mass. A man may attempt to save himself by will power; but what if the will itself have no hold on God?—Canon Wilberforce.
