Sunday School: He Nearly Missed the Boat

Share this exciting story with your Devotions, Sunday School and Bible Study group.

While Eric was a science teacher in the North of China he had a very exciting moment.

It became a favourite story afterwards.

On one occasion he was persuaded to run in an extra race at an athletics meeting in North China.
The problem was that the race was scheduled just half an hour before his boat was due to leave to take him back to the college where he taught.

He wasn’t able to have the boat’s departure time changed, so he arranged for a taxi to take him from the track to the boat.

Eric won the race and he was just about to leap into the waiting taxi, when the national anthem was played, followed straight off by the French national anthem, forcing
him to keep standing at attention as the minutes ticked by.

The moment the music stopped he leapt into the taxi and the vehicle sped off, reaching the wharf in under twenty minutes.

By this time the boat was already moving from the dock.
But when a wave just then momentarily lifted the boat nearer, Eric threw his bags on board and then took a mighty gazelle-like leap, managing to land on the deck of the moving boat. He had made it after all.

Eric Liddell 1902—1945
