When five-year-old Milo Andrus went to sleep in a skiff on Lake Erie's shore, a wind arose and carried the small boat far out onto the lake until it was nearly out of sight. Miraculously, he was discovered and rescued while still sound asleep. Andrus attributed his preservation to the watchful care of the Angel of Peace, testifying to God's protection over innocent children.
