WILLIAM B—, a colored man from St. Vincent, West Indies, has recently passed „away to be with Christ; and a missionary who visited him in the London infirmary testifies of his unwavering faith in the Lord Jesus up to the time of his departure.
He says: "I visited Mr. B— twice while he was in the infirmary. I found that his faith in Christ was firmly fixed.
“In reply to a question, he said, My Beloved is mine, and I am His. I do know Him to be a blessed living reality to me now. I do find Him my refuge and strength, a very present help while I lie here.'
“Then, after a moment's quiet, he said, 'Those great exceeding precious promises! oh, how comforting I God has kept His word to me—the most unworthy. We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.' With beaming face he asked me to tell everybody of the love of God.
“The day before he died we talked together of the goodness of God and His wondrous love, and he wished me to read the last three verses of the eighth of Romans, and as I read, he opened his eyes, and said, s More than conquerors, praise the Lord—nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God.”
Dear reader, this bright testimony comes from one who had put his trust in God. Will you trust Him now? Your sins will keep you out of heaven unless they are forgiven. "The blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanseth from all sin.”
