Leprosy had attacked Tane, a poor Maori in New Zealand. A Christian took pity on him, gave him a place to live, and taught him about Jesus. One day his Christian friend read to him about the Lord's coming. The next day found Tane with a beaming face and fresh joy. Tane at once said, "You tell me more. Me no sad about dying any more; this much better; me see now He coo-ee (the call given in the bush to find or attract attention), then we all gone together."
"Oh, joy! oh, delight! should we go without dying;
No sickness, no sadness, no dread, and no crying;
Caught up through the clouds with our Lord into glory,
When Jesus receives `His own.'"
