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 with gladness."
