Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter X. Extracts from Sermons and Letters. The Future State Of Unbelievers As ProClaimed By The Manner, Words, And Suffer1ngs Of The True Christ. Preached on board ship at Smyrna, 1843. "Leaving us an example."--1 Pet. ii. 21. "when it is considered who Christ was, when it is considered from whence He came and what He came to do, it must certainly be confessed that few or none of us pay Him that attention which He deserves. For that can be said of Christ that can be said of no other person that ever lived. Compare the lives of other men with the life of Christ, and they all sink into insignificance; whether we consider the wonderful events that adorn His history or the consequences which followed them. It may be said, indeed it may be proved, that the present civilised state of mankind is owing to what He did; but although that is a great deal to say, and can be said of no other person, yet it is but little in comparison with what we might say of Him. The greatest and happiest consequences of our Lord's labours are not to be sought in this life, but in the next. He came certainly to improve our condition upon earth, but His great object was to warn us against losing heaven. So that during all the time that He laboured, while He was healing diseases, relieving hunger and distress, and setting us an example to do the same, He continually returned to the great question--' What shall it profit a man, though he gain the whole world, if he lose his own soul?' This was the prevailing feeling that ran through all His discourses, all His parables, and that actuated and impelled His very actions. "This feeling, indeed, often gave severity to His manner, and infused a harshness into the tone of His discourses in the judgment of those who could...

Pearl Harbor will long stand out in mens minds as an example of the results of basic unpreparedness of a peace loving nation, of highly efficient treacherous surprise attack and of the resulting unification of America into a single tidal wave of purpose to victory. Therefore, all will be interested in this unique narrative by Admiral Wallin. The Navy has long needed a succinct account of the salvage operations at Pearl Harbor that miraculously resurrected what appeared to be a forever shattered fleet. Admiral Wallin agreed to undertake the job. He was exactly the right man for it _ in talent, in perception, and in experience. He had served intimately with Admiral Nimitz and with Admiral Halsey in the South Pacific, has commanded three different Navy Yards, and was a highly successful Chief of the Bureau of Ships. On 7 December 1941 the then Captain Wallin was serving at Pearl Harbor. He witnessed the events of that shattering and unifying "Day of Infamy." His mind began to race at high speeds at once on the problems and means of getting the broken fleet back into service for its giant task. Unless the United States regained control of the sea, even greater disaster loomed. Without victory at sea, tyranny soon would surely rule all Asia and Europe. In a matter of time it would surely rule the Americas. Captain Wallin salvaged most of the broken Pearl Harbor fleet that went on to figure prominently in the United States Navys victory. So the account he masterfully tells covers what he masterfully accomplished. The United States owes him an unpayable debt for this high service among many others in his long career.
