ON one occasion, the excellent Charles Simeon was summoned to the bed of a dying brother. Entering the room, his relative extended his hand to him, and with deep emotion said, “I am dying, and you never warned me of the state I was in, and of the danger to which I was exposed from neglecting the salvation of my soul?” “Nay, my brother,” replied Mr. Simeon, “I took every reasonable opportunity of bringing the subject of religion before your mind and frequently alluded to it in my letters.” “Yes,” exclaimed the dying man, “you did; but that was not enough. You never came to me, closed the door and took me by the collar of my coat, and told me that I was unconverted, and that, if I died in that state, I should be lost. And now I am dying, and but for God’s grace, I might have been forever undone.” It is said that this affecting scene made a lasting impression on Mr. Simeon’s mind.—Sel.
