Wilmot, an infidel, died in 1680. He laid his emaciated hand on the Bible, and exclaimed solemnly and with energy, "The only objection against this Book is—a bad life.”
Voltaire, the famous infidel, the tool and plaything of Frederick the Great, died in 1778, alternating praying and blaspheming God, and crying "O Christ! O Jesus Christ!”
How different was Charles Wesley's end, who died ten years later. His last words were: "I shall be satisfied with Thy likeness; satisfied—satisfied—SATISFIED.”
"The wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
