money was concerned, but /
would have given every penny [

ward Christ as Charley did, but
that feeling cannot be bought
with money. Alas, l soon forgot

that at that time ] was under
deep conviction of sin but ! fought
against Christ with all the hatred
of au orthodox Jew for nearly ten
years, until finally the dear boys
prayer was answered and God
converted my soul.
About eighteen months after
my conversion / attended pray
er meeting one evening in the
city of Brooklyn. 1t was one of
these meetings when christians
testify to the loving kindness of
their Savior. After several of
them had spoken, an elderly lady
arose and said: "Dear friends,
this may be the last time that it
is my privilege to testify for
Christ. My family physician
told me yesterday that my right
lung is very nearly gone and my
left one is very much affected, so
at the best | have but short
time to be with you, but what is
left of me belongs to Jesus. Oh.
it is great joy to know that |
shall meet my boy in Heaven.
My son was not only a soldier
for his country, but also soldier
for Christ He was wounded at
the battle of Gettysburg, and fell
into the hands of a Jewish doctor,
who amputated his arm and leg,
but he died five days after the
operation. The Chaplain of the
regiment wrote me a letter and
sent me my boys Bible. In that
letter [ was informed that my
Charlie, in his dying hour, sent
for the Jewish doctor and said to
him, Doctor, before | die | wish
to tell you that five days ago,
while you amputated my arm and
leg, | prayed to the Lord Jesus
Christ to convert your soul. ,"
When | heard this lady's testi-
mony, could sit still no longer.
| left my seat, crossed the room,
and taking her hand, said, "God
bless you my dear sister, your
boys prayer has been heard and
answered. | am the Jewish doc
tor for whom Charlie prayed, and
his Savior is now my Savior"

graph frame shaped over a
circular foundation and en-
broidered with pink orchids. The cir
cular frames of cardboard may be
