Jan. 21 was a most unusual Sabbath for elder Joseph Moulton of Ottawa, Ontario. The morning started with a sudden snowstorm (not so unusual) but as he and his wife, Mary, traveled on the freeway, they came upon a stopped car and people flagging them to stop. Off the road, almost out of view, was a vehicle upside down in the Nation River.

Two people were inside the car, windows down, the front doors jammed from the crushed roof. The two inside were just keeping their heads above the freezing water. One rescuer was in water to his waist while Mr. Moulton assisted in water to his knees.

They pulled the 60-year-old man out through the back door. However, the lady driver was in a more difficult position. They had to ask her to take a deep breath and go under the water in order to be pulled out.

Both escaped safely. Mr. and Mrs. Moulton then continued on to church where he was to lead songs that Sabbath. So an 80-year-old helped rescue two "young" 60-year-olds and then led hymns in trousers wet to his knees!
