A Disciple

Seventh-day Adventist Missionary Society · Oakland, California · Jan 27, 1881

The world may remember very little about us a year after we are gone. No thought, no deed may be connected with our names beyond some narrow circle of loving hearts. There may be no place for us in any record written with a man's pen. But what does that matter if our names, dear friends, are written in the Lamb's Book of Life, with this for sole epitaph—"A disciple"? That single phrase is the noblest summary of a life. A thinker? a hero? a great man? a millionaire? No, "A disciple." That says all. May it be your epitaph and mine!
