“La mort viendra bientôt, Nénibé s’y prépare.” A Malagasy missionary sister is shown tending to the wound of a patient. “La Religieuse malgache panse les plaies de la pouvre vielle en lui parlant du ciel qui sera le remède suprême à tous ses maux. Peu à peu, le vieux cerveau comprend, et la lumière de la grâce se répand dans ce cœur … Bientôt l’eau régéneratrice lavera ce front d’ébène, et l’aime toute blanche s’envolera en paradis. Propriété de la Mission Collection B.M. Au profit de la Mission de la Providence à Madagascar.” There is no handwriting on the back of the card.
