that he would die in the faith Of his mother

would. During the last days Of his sickness
he held the little prayer-book continually in
his hand, and yesterday he asked lady who
was standing by his bedside to read prayer
for the dying. Her emotion prevented her
from doing 50; he took the book and read
for himself Then he asked GoverI.er Pit
