When John Todd was six, both his parents
10、 died. A kind-hearted aunt in North Killingworth agreed to take John and give him a home. He was brought up by her and lived in her home until he left to study for ministry. His aunt fell seriously ill and feared she was about to die. In great distress she wrote John a letter in which she asked him
11、to tell her what death would be like. Here is the letter he sent in reply: It is now thirty-five years since I, as a little boy of six, was left quite alone in the world. You sent me word you would give me a home and be a kind mother to me. I have never forgotten the day when I made the long journey

You had a fire burning on the hearth, a hot supper waiting on the stove. After supper you took me to my new room, heard me say my prayers, and then sat beside me until
15、I fell asleep. You probably realized why I am recalling all this to your memory. Some day soon God will send for you, to take you to a new home. Dont fear the summons (召唤) , the strange journey, or the dark messenger of death who will fetch you. God can be trusted to do as much for you as you were kind enough to do for me so many years ago. At the end of the road you will find love and a welcome waiting, and you will be safe in Gods care. I shall watch you and pray for you till you ar
