William L. Stidger tells the story of a man in his congregation who joined the Navy during World War II. One night, during a Boston layover, the naval officer stopped to see his pastor. Now the captain of a large transport, he told Dr. Stidger how he had guided his ship in a convoy across the Atlantic during a submarine attack. In one fateful moment, he noticed the white mark of a torpedo coming directly toward his ship, which was loaded with hundreds of men. He had no time to change course.
