Angels at the Deathbed

A good deal has been said and written about the appearance of angels on the battlefields. They have appeared to those who are dying, as the following incident will tell: —
A child of eight is passing away. The mother love can do no more for him, but with an older brother of the child’s she watches by the bed. The child turns and says, “What is the time?” “Twenty minutes to four,” is the reply. “Then I shall soon be home,” exclaimed the dying boy. “I can see the angels coming for me; they are a long way off now, but at four o’clock they will be here. Come, mother, give me another kiss, for I shall soon be gone.” About two or three minutes to four he again inquired the time, and then he said, “Dear mother, the angels are here, and I must go.” And as the clock struck four he departed to be with Jesus.
Another child just before he passed away put his little hands up and said, with his eyes fixed on a certain spot in the room, “See, mama, someone in white.”
