A soldier in one of the military hospitals was visited by a Christian, 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?"
"Say that again," the soldier said after a pause. He repeated, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."
Steadily and earnestly looking at the Christian, the soldier asked, "Is that all?"
"Yes, that is all. I can say nothing more—there is nothing more that is necessary."
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 lighted up with a smile.
