1 asked Mrs. Livcruiure if she bad
ever seen any one afraid of death, or that
which would follow death, at the actual
hour of dying.
"Never but once," she replied," and
then it was the fault of an evangelist. It

lying in that stupor that usually preceded

lending over the bed, said: 'Have you
made your peace with (iud? If uuti
you will be in hell in less than tin hour.
"Instantly the uian's stupor was re
placed by the most horrible, fright. ' 1 'ray
for tne," he groaned. 'I cannot stop,' was
the reply, as the speaker hurried on to give
his gruesome message to other sufferers,
You must pray for yourself.' Delirious
wilh pain and wholly possessed by this
new ami terrible idea, the soldier sent out
hi iek after shriek of agony. 'I cannot
die! I have been a wicked man!' was
liis repeated wail. His cries aroused and
xeiled the other men, and the ward
iccatne a pandemonium ol groans aud
creams and bcseechiiigH. In vain I urged
and the surgeon commanded ijuict. 1
directed the doctor to scud the evangelist
out of the ward, and 1 got upon the bed
of the man who had lirst been aroused.
i'aking him hy the shoulders, and looking
straight into his eyes, I said:
Stop this screaming at once!' 'lint I am
going to bell!' he cried. 'Well, if you
must go to hell, go like il man!' I replied.
Hut why must you go? What is Christ
for if a man like yuu who has stood up to
