"I'd ruther see that than hear on't. How can she be ketched up, weighin' pretty nigh two hundred?" Sez I, "Your views are material, Josiah. I said her soul wuz ketched up." "Oh, well, my soul and body has ginerally gone together where I've went." "I don't doubt that," sez I, "not at all. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned." "Well," sez he, "I've hearn a sight about such things as that, but I'd ruther see 'em myself." Well, it wuzn't but a day or two after that that he had a chance to see if he had eyes. Sister Evangeline wuz settin' with Josiah and me on the deck, and all of a sudden while she wuz talkin' to us about her future life and work in Africa, her face took on a look as yourn would if your attention had been suddenly arrested by a voice calling you. She looked off over the water as if it wuzn't there, and I felt that someone wuz talkin' to her we couldn't see--her face had jest that look, and at last I hearn her murmur in a low voice: "Yes, Master, I will go." And most immegiately her soul seemed to come back from somewhere, and she sez to me: "I am told that there is a poor woman amongst the steerage passengers that needs me." And she riz right up and started, like Paul, not disobedient to the Heavenly vision, not for a minute. She told me afterward that she found a woman with a newly-born child almost dying for want of help. She was alone and friendless, and if Sister Evangeline hadn't reached her just as she did they would both have died. She wuz a trained nurse, and saved both their lives, and she wuz as good as she could be to 'em till we reached port, where the woman's husband wuz to meet her. Josiah acted stunted when I told him, but sez weakly, "I believe she hearn the woman holler." And I sez, "She wuz fainted away, how could she holler?" And he sez, "It must be a heavy faint that will keep a woman from talkin'." The other missionary, Elder Wessel, I didn't set quite so much store by. His only child Lucia wuz on board going out to China with a rich tea merchant's family as a governess for their little daughter, and some one told me that one reason that Elder Wessel hearn such a loud call to go as a missionary to China was because Lucia wuz goin' there. Now, there wuz a young chap over in Loontown who had tried doctorin' for a year or two and didn't make much by it, and he thought he see a sign up in the heavens, G. P., and he gin out that he had had a call "go preach," and went to preachin', and he didn't make so well by that as he did by his doctorin', and then he gin out that he had made a mistake in readin' the letters; instead of goin' to preach they meant "give pills," so he went back to his doctorin' agin, and is doin' first rate. That wuzn't a call.
