Psalm 86:13 For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. A plan has lately been proposed and successfully employed for raising the cargoes of sunken vessels. A huge electro-magnet, operated from the deck of a vessel, is lowered to the submerged cargo; and if it be of a character subject to the influence of magnetism, it is attracted and lifted by this power, and thus easily saved. There is a power from on high which came to seek and save that which was lost. Down in the murky depths of the waters of sin, this magnet of love draws to itself sinful souls, and lifts them by its power to the bright sunlight and pure air above. Not by any virtue or power of their own — simply by the love that passeth understanding and the saving power of the Divine Redeemer — they are uplifted from the depths and made to stand among the rescued ones of the Lord.
