It was a small, private affair this year, but last night, the Christian Boys’ and Men’s Titanic Society met for the Ninth Annual Memorial Celebration to the men who died so that women and children could live. What a joy to be reminded of the ancient, transcendent truth that men sacrifice for women and children. In a year marked by Christian leaders who place women in harm’s way on foreign battlefields, husbands who starve and dehydrate their wives, and evangelical teachers who lack the guts or the perspective to decry such wickedness, it was a blessing to be reminded of the ancient virtue — the strong die for the weak, the groom dies for the bride — WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST!
