A soldier in one of the hospitals was visited by a minister, who saw that his life was ebbing fast.
"Young man," said he, "you are soon to die; are you saved?”
"No, sir," was the earnest reply; "what shall I do?”
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
"Say that again." He repeated, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
Steadily and earnestly looking at the minister, the soldier asked, "Is that all?”
"Yes, that is all. I can say nothing more—there is nothing, nothing more.”
Closing his eyes for a few moments, the young fellow at length opened them again, and raising his right hand, exclaimed: "Lord Jesus, I surrender.”
Instantly his face shown as if it had been the face of an angel.
