doctor from labor to reward. He had
served the people faithfully and well;
had gone to see them at all hours OF
the day and night, in all kinds Of

them in their SORROWS, and rejOiced
with them when restored to health
Before leaving for heaven, the doctor
asked is he could visit the regions be-
low. Permission being granted, while
the angel waited outside, the doctor
went in to look around.
Having been gone an unusual length
of time, the angel went to look for
him, and found the doctor sea ted fan

Angel looked and over the door was.
