Lost: Lost in a Mine
It is said that a man was lost in a mining section. There were shaft mines -- great holes hundreds of feet deep and very
thick. The man realized his danger. He knew that if he continued on, seeking to find his way out, he was very liable to step
into one of these holes and be crushed hundreds of feet below.
So he decided not to take another step. He stopped immediately and lifted up his voice with all his might and cried, "LOST!
LOST! LOST!" He was heard by some miners, who came with their lanterns and rescued him. This was a wise decision.
Sinner, you are lost, lost now! Another step may plunge you into the pit of damnation. Stop, and cry, "Lost!"
He who came to seek and save the lost will lead you out.
William Moses Tidwell, "Pointed Illustrations."
