Confidence At Death
Numbers 23:10
Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous…


Dr. Simpson on his deathbed told a friend that he awaited his great change with the contented confidence of a little child. As another friend said to him that he might, as St. John at the Last Supper, lean his head on the breast of Christ; the doctor made answer, "I fear I cannot do that, but I think I have grasped hold of the hem of His garment."

(Keenig's Life of Dr. Simpson.)
