Mon th ly S tuden t Story In a quiet little home a man lay dying. The last rites of the Catholic church had been ad ministered by the priest, and yet he was unhappy; lacking some thing, he knew not what. An old friend and neighbor went to see him, accompanied by his daugh ter, who was a student of the Bible Institute. These two, who both knew the power and peace of God, talked with him and his wife. They seemed interested and then night after night the father and daughter went to the home, the father talking to the dying man, and the daughter to the sorrowing wife. Prayer was offered in the Women’s Depart ment of the Bible Institute for these two who were in such dire need, that God would help them. God did hear and answer prayer, and in the quiet of the evening, the wife kneeling by the side of her dying husband’s bed, both accepted the One who alone can walk with us, “through the val ley of the shadow of death.” One week from the time he ac cepted Christ, he passed away; but it was a triumphant death, and during the week, he gave a glorious testimony to the saving power of Jesus Christ. To all who came to the home, both husband and wife showed that they were full of joy, even though the sorrow of parting was so near. Now the wife is not alone, for the Lord is with her, and her eyes are fixed on" that happy home where her loved one is with the Lord, “which is far better,” where she will later meet him in that land that is fairer than day.
