Terror by night

The terror by night. This next story is a perfect example of being delivered from the terror by night.

When one of our bombers, returning after a successful mission, ran out of gas, it was forced to land on the sandy beach of a Japanese-occupied island, several hundred miles from base.

“Chaplain, now is your chance to prove ehat you have been preaching,” the men chided. “You have been telling us for months that we must pray and God will deliver us from the terror all around us. We need a miracle now.” The chaplain began fervently praying and the first thing they noticed was that their landing had gone unnoticed by the enemy. Night fell and he continued to pray.

At 2 A.M. they hear a new sound on the beach side, and in spite of the terror that almost overwhelmed the group the crept into tge water´s edge so silently that they didn´t even disturb the chaplain, who was still kneeling in prayer.

They were able to make out the dim outline of a large barge, but no voices or footsteps could be heard. If the crew was asleep, there was no sentry on the deserted deck. Aboard the barge, the deck was covered with oil drums filled with high-octane gasoline. They could hardly restrain a shout of joy. It seemed like a dream. This drifting barge had brought then th one thing in all the world that could get their bomber off the island and back to the home base. They ran across the sand and embraced their startled chaplain, used their in-flight refueling hosem and took off thunderously down the beach runway.

A later investigation revealed that the skipper of a U.S. tanker, after finding himself in submarine infested waters, had ordered his gasoline cargo removed to lessen the danger from a torpedo hit. Barrels of gasoline were placed on barge and set adrift -some six hundred miles across the Pacific, then beached itself just fifty steps from the stranded men.
And all within twelve hours of their crash. The chaplain`s prayers had been heard and they were delivered from the terror by night.

We do not have to be afraid of the terrorof what man can do to harm us. Praise God for our higher last God´s laws triumph over man´s laws.
