Dying Man Saw Dead Mother

Dying Man Saw Dead Mother

Remarkable Occurrence Vouched For by a Reputable Physician.

It has been allotted to few people to feel that they have been truly present at a conversation between an inhabitant of this earth and a loved one who has passed away, yet this is the belief of Dr. E. G. Wilson of Detroit, who was with James Moore from the time he received a fatal wound until his death.

"It was about 4 o'clock," said Dr. Wilson, "and the dawn for which he had been watching was creeping in through the shutters, when, as I bent over the bed I noticed that his face was quite calm and his eyes clear.

"The poor fellow looked up into my face and taking my hand in both of his he said: 'You've been a good friend to me, doctor. You've stood by me.'

"Then a something which I shall never forget to my dying day happened; a something which is utterly indescribable.

"While he appeared perfectly rational and as sane as any man I have ever seen, the only way that I can express it is that he was transported into another world, and, although I cannot satisfactorily explain the matter to myself, I am fully convinced that he was: that he had entered the golden city, for he said in a stronger voice than he had used since I had attended him:

"There is mother! Why, mother, have you come here to see me? No, no, I'm coming to see you. Just wait, mother; I am almost over. I can jump it. Wait, mother.'

"On his face there was such a look of inexpressible happiness and the way in which he said the words impressed me as I have never been before, and I am as firmly convinced that he saw and talked with his mother as I am that I am sitting here."
