PERSONAL TESTIMONY, Rev. Hugh Upham.

the same mind, and there with suffering all around us we invoked the Divine Aid of our common Father in her behalf. Very grateful indeed were the husband and wife for our small ministry in the hour of their weakness and pain. we met again a few days later in St. Mary's Hospital where the kind doctors and tender nurses from Massachussets were doing such noble service. The husband again was sitting at the foot of the bed, radiant with the joy of the prospect of having his wife restored to him again.
In the Camp Hill Military Hospital on Friday evening, a nurse ran hastily down the aisle and accosted me. She said "Are you an Episcopal Clergyman?" and I replied "No, I am a Presbyterian minister". She ran back again to her patient, and then came hurrying again to me. The patient had assured her it was all the same now and there we had the gracious privilege of ministering to a soul in distress. She lay in one bed, her little babe in the other. Throughout the long night we alternated in service as a nurse of a little child and ministering in the Master's Name to one of his servants.
