On May 26th, 1852, H.M.S. Birkenhead troop carrier was delivering soldiers to war in South Africa. At 2 a.m. she struck uncharted rocks off Cape of Good Hope. Six hundred forty-two souls were on board including seven women and thirteen children. As the ship sank and lifeboats were launched, thirty-eight year-old Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Seton instigated what has become known as the “Birkenhead Drill”—the sending out and saving of “women and children first;” and it changed maritime protocol forever. A history of the 74th Highlanders, of which group the Birkenhead was a part, says the action on the Birkenhead “sheds more glory upon those who took part than a hundred well-fought battles.”
The songs we sing on Sunday morning and the lives we live don’t really line up, do they? For example, “Jesus is all the world to me.” Maybe we should shy away from songs like that and sing, “How great Thou art” more often. It’s kind of like that old football cheer, “We are the Tigers, the mighty, mighty Tigers.” If we are not “mighty” maybe we should not say we are?
