Jerry
(Continued from week of April 6)
By Graham Fisher
(Ed. note: This is the second
installment of "Jerry'’ by Graham
Fisher. It is a true story about
a boy with strong religious con
victions who wished his parents to
share them with him.
Shortly after Christmas of 1958
Jerry became quite ill. Upon
consulting with the family Doctor,
it was felt Jerry should be taken
to a hospital for further diagnosis
since from this brief examination,
it was obvious this was a very
sick young man_ Upon enter
ing the hospital he was subjected
to the normal tests and though as
Jerry worsened there were no
cries of pain, complaint or anguish
from him. In mid-January, the
Doctor announced. Jerry had men
ingitis and with administering
drugs and proper treatment he
once again began to progress.
While in the hospital it was his
daily request for the pastor of his
church to visit with him.

Upon returning home in early
February, his efforts increased in
attempting to encourage his par
ents to join his church, but his
pleadings fell on deaf ears and
try as he might they wouldn’t even
attend with him. though on occa
sion they now attended their own
church.
Since his recovery was now pro
gressing. and though he was still
very frail, he was allowed to re
turn to school in March. Some
how his interest in school became
secondary and playing with his
young friends became almost a
thing of the past. He was now
content to come home in the eve
ning. lie on the bed reading Bible
stories. At one point during
this period he went so far as to
bring the Pastor of his Church
home with him on a Sunday to
have dinner with his family. You
can well imagine how upset his
mother was in not knowing he was
bringing the Pastor nor that he
had insisted the Pastor help him
in talking his parents in to join
ing his church.
During April Jerry suddenly and
without warning once again be
came violently ill and was rushed
to the hospital. The little guy
