PRAYER FOR A DYING COMRADE

We pray that this comrade's heart may not be troubled. His strength is going, and he has suffered a great deal, but he is not afraid. Let him feel that his sins have been forgiven, and that all trials are past for him.

May he not worry about his family, which he loves dearly. He dies believing in Thee as they live believing in Thee. May Thy face and the happiness of eternal life shine splendidly before his eyes.

-From a French Soldier's Prayer Book.
