On Saturday, March 29th, our beloved brother wrote a stirring gospel paper for Things New and Old. It was on the words of our Lord Jesus, “I have compassion on the multitude.” He sought to show how compassionate our hearts should be toward the thousands round about us who are still in their sins, and going on the road to everlasting destruction. We make a few quotations from it to show how graciously God kept the heart of His servant fresh and fervent in the work of the gospel to the last day. On this day, March 29th, exactly 55 years, to a day, had elapsed, since he first preached from “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life”; and two days before he departed to be with Christ, he was at a funeral, and preached to a crowd, as we have seen, Jesus and the resurrection and His coming, and showed from Scripture the ground of divinely given assurance as to the certainty of eternal salvation; so that up to his last day on earth he was occupied in preaching, or in writing for the press, the same precious gospel.
