Most of us start with the idea of prayer as asking God to give us something Even this is occasional, in times of special need, and as, a last resort.

One dark stormy night, patrolling without lights in the Irish sea, there came a loud crash. We ware thrown out of our bunks with the shock of collision. Ho and I were close together as we rouched for our lifabelts and dashed for the com panionway. I saw him cross himself.
