Proverbs 14:32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous has hope in his death. Mr. Robert Owen once visited a gentleman who was a believer. In walking out they came to the gentleman's family grave. Owen, addressing him, said, "There is one advantage I have over Christians; I am not afraid to die; but if some of my business were settled, I should be perfectly willing to die at any moment." "Well," said his companion, "you say you have no fear of death — have you any hope in death?" After a solemn pause, he replied, "No!" "Then," replied the gentleman, "you are on the level with that brute; he has fed till he is satisfied, and stands in the shade, whisking off the flies, and has neither fear nor hope."
