"I AM AFRAID"
A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was leaving the room after paying a visit, and
said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."
Very quietly the doctor said, "I don't know."
"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"
The doctor was holding the handle of the door, on the other side of which came a sound of
scratching and whining, and as he opened the door a dog sprang into the room and leaped on
him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice that dog? He had never been
in this room before. He did not know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his
master was here, and when the door opened he sprang in without fear. I know little of what
is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing: I know my Master is
there, and that is enough. And when the door opens, I shall pass through with no fear,
but gladness."
