The story is told of an only survivor of a shipwreck who was thrown on an uninhabited island. After a while he managed to build himself a hut, in which he placed the little that he had saved from the wreck. He prayed to God for deliverance, and anxiously scanned the horizon each day to hail any passing ship.
One day on returning from a hunt for food he was horrified to find his
hut in flames,--all he had had gone up in smoke. The worst had happened
it seemed.
But that which seemed to have happened for the worst was in
reality for the best. The next day a ship arrived. "We saw your smoke
signal," the captain said. If our lives are in God's hands "all things
work together for good."
