When John Todd was six, both his parents

10、 died. A kind-hearted aunt in North Killingworth agreed to take John and give him a home. He was brought up by her and lived in her home until he left to study for ministry. His aunt fell seriously ill and feared she was about to die. In great distress she wrote John a letter in which she asked him

Dont fear the summons (召唤) , the strange journey, or the dark messenger of death who will fetch you. God can be trusted to do as much for you as you were kind enough to do for me so many years ago. At the end of the road you will find love and a welcome waiting, and you will be safe in Gods care. I shall watch you and pray for you till you ar
