    business I will get you beheaded tomorrow. Then the Monk walked away slowly again.
    Next morning when he was taking his breakfast a voice said, "Would you not rather be God's soldier that God's enemy. The man hung down his head and the Monk walked slowly towards him, and the man didn't speak so the monk went out.
    That night the man was dying. Just then the monk came in and he asked the man did he want the priest and the man said he did. Then the Monk went for the priest and before the man died he became a Catholic.
