Waiting for the Chariot
Luke 2:25-35
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout…


Mrs. Cartwright, wife of the famous American preacher, was, after her husband's death, attending a meeting at Bethel Chapel, a mile from her house. She was called upon to give her testimony, which she did with much feeling, concluding with the words: "The past three weeks have been the happiest of all my life; I am waiting for the chariot." When the meeting broke up she did not rise with the rest. The minister solemnly said, "The chariot has arrived."
