about
four o'clock in the morning
It was a real grief to me , and yet for his sake I could not regret it . How thankful I was now that I had taken him into my Sunday class , in spite of his age ! It seemed as if it was a special bit of work that God Himself had given me , and I thanked Him for it on my knees in the midst of my tears . I heard afterwards that he had not spoken to any one afterwards , or taken the slightest notice of anything , but had passed peacefully away about four o'clock in the morning . Roddy remarked cheerfully , when he heard it , ` Jim will be glad now , wo n't he , mother ? I wish the angels would come for me , too ! ' ` Beloved !
