Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 37: August 15, 1902I proceeded to the house. On knock ing, a female voice bade me enter. I shall never forget the sight that met my gaze. Upon a snow white bed and pil lows lay an aged man whose face and ¿owing white locks and beard vied with the coverlet upon which lay his folded, feeble hands, clasped as it were in pray er. The wild look from his eyes only too plainly confirmed the statement that he was out of his mind. An aged, grief - stricken lady sat by his side, seem ingly in an attitude, indicating that she also had been engaged in prayer. The surroundings were very meagre, and told the old story that poverty and sick ness in that hovel went hand in hand. After introducing myself as a missionary and giving a few comforting words, which I found were much needed in that house, the old lady related to me be tween tears and sobs the af¿icted condi tion of her husband, combined with her extreme poverty.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
