WELCOME ON BOTH SIDES

He was a Scottish soldier, terribly wounded, and the great surgeon, who was also a Christian, said to him: “Jack, lad, I have to operate; and I think I ought to tell you - you have one chance in a hundred of living through the operation. Do you have anything you want to say to me?” The brave lad looked up and said, “No, Doctor, just get on with it.” He pulled through. To a friend who asked him afterwards how he felt when he submitted himself to the surgeon, Jack said, “I knew it was all right. I knew whichever side I came out, there would be a welcome for me. If I came back, Mother was there; and if I went on, Jesus was there!” - Christian Union Herald
