A nurse met him at the door, and he asked: “Is this Christ’s Hospital?” “Yes, it is,” the nurse replied. “Is Christ here? I came to see him that he might heal my blind father.” The nurse hesitated a moment, then said: “Yes, he is here. Come right in.” Presently the missionary doctor, a true interpreter of Christ, came in.
