He attempted to pull it out but could not. He cried aloud, he shrieked, he prayed...but all in vain~no one heard him!
So the tide came rolling in, and rose up higher and higher until it rolled over him and drowned his last gurgling cry in its remorseless waters.
In the same ruthless way...sin clutches men! Even one sin, one secret sin, one evil habit~may hold the soul that indulges it until the floods of judgment come and roll over it, engulfing it in eternal damnation!
