Last Sacrament?

[Gene C]

Frightening isn't it. As a good ol Baptist, Lewis is probably realizing he is facing eternal torment and damnation for what he has done. He is fortunate in one regard. For the believing Christian, he had time to think about what he had done, repent of his wrong doing, and try to reconcile with God, finding comfort in his faith, trusting in God's grace, mercy and forgiveness. Perhaps that knowledge gave him the courage to face the gallows and death bravely.
