A Believer’s Death

HE preached on Tuesday, and some said his look, his expression, was such that they felt it was his own funeral sermon. On the Saturday he died, rapturously exclaiming, “O what a world I am going to! Here all is sin and sorrow, but there everlasting joy,” immediately adding, “Jesus is standing to receive my spirit. What a mercy to be clothed in the robes of the Redeemer’s righteousness!” Just after the death rattle came in his throat, he said to his daughter, who was kneeling by his side, “Did you hear that? That is a symptom of nature breaking up! I am now well.”
