In the early days of Britain, when the Christian Cuthbert and
his companions were driven from the bitter land to sea, and then
were cast upon a dreary shore by a terrible storm, they cried,
“No path is open for us; let us perish: we are driven from land
to sea and from sea to land.” And Cuthbert answered, “Have ye so
little faith, my comrades?” and then lifting his eyes to heaven
he prayed, “I thank Thee, Lord, that the way to heaven is still
open.”
