A sick man said to his doctor: “Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.” The doctor replied very quietly: “I do not know.” The patient retorted: “You don’t know! You are a Christian and you don’t know what is on the other side?” The doctor was holding the handle of the door. From the other side came the sound of scratching and whining and as he opened the door a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with great happiness. Turning to his patient the doctor said: “Did you notice my dog? He has never been in this room before. He didn’t know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing … I know that my master is there and that is enough.”
