An Indian guide was fatally wounded in the war. A Christian friend went to see him. “Do you know anything about Jesus Christ?” he asked.
“Oh, yes,” replied the Indian. “Me know much ‘bout Him. Long time ago—very young—me go see Indian missionary. In little log house, all alone, white man look sick—meet Indian—pray with him—make much prayer—talk out of Spirit Book. Many times he look on Indian and say, ‘poor friend,’ and his eyes all run down with tears.”
“Do you think you will meet him in heaven?” asked his friend.
“Oh yes,” was the answer. “Me certain Jesus Christ never forget poor Indian. Me never forget Him one day. Me hope to see Him before morning. Me no fear. Inside eyes all open. Inside heart all smooth.”
And so the dear Indian passed away to be with Christ.
