>”A schoolgirl, the best in the school, became suddenly very ill one night, and was immediately made fully aware that the time had come for her by death to go home. The evening before she sickened, she had put every everything right with God and man, and went to bed that night for the first time with her soul at liberty. A few hours later she lay sick unto death and told everyone with a radiant face that she would soon be at home with the Lord.
I can see her yet, the happy little soul, when she had just believed unto salvation. While still on her knees, she opened her Bible and read Prov. 28.13, “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” She put her finger on the passage and said with a lovely smile: “I have always lived in the first half of that verse, now I have moved. I have a new address, I live now in the last half of the verse.”
She had a serious heart attack in the night, but was better in the morning. Her classmates stood in her room, almost paralysed, and heard her fearlessly and joyously say that she was going Home soon; they saw the peace of God in her face. She called them to her side, one by one.
“Promise to meet me in Heaven. Don’t put it off. Think if I had put it off yesterday!”
At the next meeting, hearts melted, and while we sang our first hymn she entered the Father’s house. There was joy in heaven then; and later, joy came to the many who experienced salvation in that church.”~from The Awakening, Revival In China 1927-1937 by Marie Monsen
