Saved Alone. These two words, sent by telegram to Christian businessman Horatio Spafford in November 1873, might have been interpreted as good news—and they were. Spafford's wife, Anna, had survived the devastating collision of two ships as the vessels crossed the Atlantic Ocean. But the message represented more than just a report of one life that was saved. It delivered the sad news that Spafford's four daughters, who were traveling with their mother, had drowned. Two hundred and twenty-two others also died in the Nov. 22 collision. As the story surrounding the deaths of his children goes, Spafford and his wife had decided to get away for a vacation in England and visit with their close friend, evangelist Dwight L. Moody. Business matters prevented Spafford from leaving immediately, so he sent his family ahead with plans to join them in a few days. Several weeks passed before Spafford was able to board a ship to join his grieving wife in Cardiff, Wales. As his ship passed near the spot where his daughters had died, Spafford stood on deck gazing over the mighty waters that had claimed their lives. When he returned to his cabin, Spafford wrote the following words, which later became part of the lyrics of one of today's most popular hymns: When peace, like a river, attendeth my way. When sorrows like sea billows roll. Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul. This accident was just one of several tragic events that affected Spafford's otherwise successful life during the 1870s. A prominent Chicago lawyer, Spafford watched all of his holdings go up in flames following the devastating Chicago fire of 1871. In 1880, tragedy struck again when the Spaffords' 4-year-old son died of scarlet fever. Though written in the midst of sorrow, the words brought solace to Spafford at a time when he didn't know where else to find peace. The words of this timeless song still speak eternal hope to all believers, no matter what the pain, hurt or loss. We still have God's assurance that, no matter how severe the hurt, pain or disappointment, He is with us. We can still say, "It is well with my soul." Ronald C. Jordan Managing Editor Ronald C.
