Rev.
William Taylor tells of a young German in California, whose
leg was broken, and whom he found in a dying condition in a stable. He at once
directed the dying man's attention to Christ, and he soon believed to the
saving of his soul, when he exclaimed, "O my Jesus! my Jesus! I do love
thee!" As he continued to praise God, he every now and [238] then turned
his eyes towards Mr. T., and said, "I am so glad you came in to see me.
I did not know Jesus till you came in and told me about my precious
Saviour." His strength failing, he said, "My poor body, he is very
sick, he will soon go down; but my spirit, he is well now, he will soon go up
to my blessed Jesus."
