“DEAR MOTHER, YOU MUST NOT GRIEVE FOR ME; I AM GOING TO JESUS.”

Through the kindness of L.B. Balliett, M.D., of Allentown, Penn., we furnish our reads with this touching incident:

Some years ago a steamer was sinking with hundreds of persons on board. Only one boat load was saved. As a man was leaping into the tossing boat a young girl who could not be taken into the boat handed him a note, saying, “Give this to my mother.” The man was saved. The girl, with hundreds of others, was drowned. The mother got the note. These were the words written: “Dear mother, you must not grieve for me; I am going to Jesus.”
