Think it over, and God bless you! Good-by.’ “A few weeks later a floor nurse called the mis- sionary while he was making his rounds and said: ‘Pastor, the patient in Room 27 wishes to see you.’ When we entered the room, the woman, who had been so peeved at our first visit, said: ‘Pastor, I was rude to you. I’m sorry. I have considered what you told me and feel I was wrong. I believe I am a sinner and in need of a Savior. I have never gone to church and have never received religious instruction. Will you please instruct me?’ This was done. Later she confessed her faith and was baptized. She became a most faithful and devout Christian. Patiently and without murmur- ing she bore her heavy cross for five long years, seeking and finding comfort in the Word of God. Frequently she strengthened her faith in Jesus by receiving His body and blood in the Sacrament. “As her body became weaker, her faith grew stronger. One day, shortly before Christmas, when we again entered her room, it was apparent that her suffering would soon be ended. She was dying. ‘Are you afraid to die?’ we asked. ‘No,’ was the reply. ‘Why not?’ ‘Jesus is my Savior from sin and death. A few moments later she smiled, raised her emaciated arms to heaven with a final effort, and whispered, ‘Jesus, home.’ Her immortal soul had passed through the valley of the shadow of death, ‘safe in the arms of Jesus.’ “Who dieth thus dies well.’” BOOK TABLE.
