The Sequel
Rev. J. M. Dosh, in Christian Expositor · Touching Incidents and Remarkable Answers to Prayer, 1893
Rev. Dosh I wish to relieve my heart by writing to you, and saying that that angel visit on the cars was a blessing to me, although I did not realize it in its fullness until some hours after. But blessed be the Redeemer, I know now that I am His, and He is mine. I no longer wonder why Christians are happy. Oh, my joy, my joy! The instrument of my salvation has gone to God.
I had purposed adopting her in the place of my little daughter, who is now in heaven. With this intention I took her to C — b and on my return trip I took her back to S — n, where she left the cars. In consultation with my wife in regard to adopting her, she replied" Yes, certainly, and immediately too, for there is a Divine providence in this.
Oh," said she, "I never could refuse to take under my charge the instrument of my husband's salvation."
I made inquiry for the child at S — n, and learned that in three days after her return she died suddenly, without any apparent disease, and her happy soul had gone to dwell with her ma, my little girl, and the angels in heaven I was sorry to hear of her death, but my sorrow is turned to joy when I think my angel-daughter received intelligence from earth concerning her pa, and that he is on the heavenly railway.
Oh sir, methinks I see her near the Redeemer. I think I hear her sing "I'm safe at home, and pa and ma are coming;" and I find myself sending back the reply: "Yes, my darling, we are coming, and will soon be there." Oh, my dear sir, I am glad that I ever formed your acquaintance may the blessing of the great God rest upon you.
Please write to me, and be assured, I would he most happy to meet you again. — Rev. J. M. Dosh, in Christian Expositor.
