IN ONE of the military hospitals a young soldier lay dying. Turning to his companion in the next bed, he asked him if he could tell him anything about the Bible. “I’m afraid I can’t,” was the reply. “Don’t you know anything?” asked the dying soldier. “I’m afraid I don’t,” came the same sad reply. Again he plead, once more. “Can’t you tell me anything?”
There was a slight pause before his friend answered, “The only one thing I know is ‘Suffer little children to come unto Me.’ "
“That will do, that’s enough,” replied the dying soldier, and in a few minutes he had gone.
Yet who could doubt that it was to be for “ever with the Lord,” for has He not said, “him that cometh to ME I will in no wise cast out?” John 6:37
