A Strange Messenger
Mark 16:15
And he said to them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.


A professional diver said he had in hi, house what would probably strike a visitor as a very strange chimney ornament — the shells of an oyster holding fast a piece of printed paper. The possessor of this ornament was diving on the coast, when he observed at the bottom of the sea this oyster on a rock, with a piece of paper in its mouth, which he detached, and commenced to read through the goggles of his headdress. It was a gospel tract, and, coming to him thus strangely and unexpectedly, so impressed his unconverted heart, that he said, "I can hold out against God's mercy in Christ no longer, since it pursues me thus." He became, whilst in the ocean's depth, a repentant, converted, and (as he was assured) sin-forgiven man. Saved at the bottom of the sea.
