Missed The Boat


This book titled "If God Be With Us" was published in 1913 and was owned by a man named Reverend J. Stuart Holden.  Rev. Holden (1874-1934) was a vicar of St. Paul's Church in London.  He was planning to do a speaking tour in America and booked passage in 1st class on the Titanic.  His wife got ill shortly before the voyage and he ended up cancelling his passage.  He saved the ticket envelope and after the disaster, he framed it, and wrote, "WHO REDEEMETH HIS LIFE FROM DESTRUCTION."
