may change your mind, and if you do, please in-
form your nurse, and I shall be very glad to call
on you again. 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.’”
