They say “truth is stranger than fiction,” and this topic surely shows that God can use people in an amazing turn-about of events. Robert Todd Lincoln was almost killed in a freak accident when he was a boy. While waiting to board a train in Jersey City, the crowd surged forward, and young Robert fell off the edge of the platform and into the path of the approaching train. Turning just in time to catch the boy and save his life, Edwin Thomas Booth, a famous Shakespearean actor, saved the child and subsequently, the bloodline of President Abraham Lincoln, who would be assassinated by Edwin’s own brother a dozen years later.
