The good clergyman pointed to the corpse, and said, “There is a lesson
never to be forgotten: he was of the world: he was in darkness, until it
pleased God by the light of his Holy Spirit to take away that darkness,
and direct him to the only sure refuge, the Lord Jesus Christ. From that
first dawn it has shone more and more unto the perfect day. He grew in
grace, and prayed to be strengthened and confirmed in it.
“For him death had no terrors, but appeared the gate of life: the grave
only seemed to him like a dark passage, and he looked beyond it to
everlasting light and glory in heaven.
“Who can behold the mild countenance of our departed brother, and not
exclaim, ‘Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be
like his!’”
Oh, Reader, may you thus live—thus die!!!
