Shipwreck  Eric Liddell, "the Flying Scotsman," won the four-
hundred-meter race at the 1924 Paris Olympics in world-record
time. But his real heroics occurred twenty years later, in the
Weihsien concentration camp in China. This missionary's faith
and energy encouraged many of the eighteen hundred trapped in
the camp's squalid conditions. "Uncle Eric" to children
separated from their parents, he "organized activities, served
as a teacher and a guardian for youth, and fulfilled the role of
pastor until a brain tumor claimed his life in February 1945"
(Williamson 1991:127).  Many centuries and many miles away on
the dark, storm-tossed Mediterranean, Paul too determined to
make a difference to those around him. His example helps us
understand what it is to proclaim by one's life the salvation
blessings found in Christ alone.Warning: Conserve Skilled Human
