His Only Request
A pretty young girl was walking through a Richmond hospital with delicacies for the sick and wounded. She overheard a suffering young Confederate officer say, “Oh, my Lord!”
Wishing to rebuke him slightly she came to his bedside and said:
“I think that I heard you call upon the name of the Lord. I am one of His daughters. Is there anything that I can do for you?”
He looked upon the lovely face.
“Yes,” he said, “please ask Him to make me His son-in-law.”
