The Death of the Righteous

“LET me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his.” So prayed a man who had opportunity to know the value of the blessing which he sought. And yet he died as the fool dieth, simply because he, while desiring the peaceful death of a righteous man, was not willing to live the obedient, self-denying life of the righteous man. Although this happened several thousand years ago, it is still the law of life and death, and is likely to be to the end of time.—Sabbath Recorder.
