A TEN-YEAR-OLD VIEWS LIFE—AND DEATH

Virginia Cary Hudson

Most of the things you get somebody dies so you can get it, but you have to die your own self to get Everlasting Life.

When you are as dead as a doornail, God gives it to you, and you can't get rid of it. You can't buy it, or sell it, or trade it. You have to keep it whether it suits you or not. When you take it to Heaven with you, that's good, but when you have to take it along with you to Hell, that's different. Bishop Jordan told me Everlasting Life was God's precious gift, and I told him if it was just the same with God, I could think of things I would like better.
