ALL who knew S. G. Grantham-Hill will be glad to hear of the joyful end of his earthly journey. John Bunyan’s quaint lines well describe his Christian course―
“And though ’twas late when I began
To seek the Lord and live forever;
Yet now I’ll run fast as I can,
’Tis better late than never.”
How he finished that course his own testimony shall tell. ― (ED. T. L. P.)
Shortly before passing away, he said, “These words were forced out of my heart”―
“Draw down the blinds! One more departed―
Taken away to his heavenly rest;
No more dependent on earthly blessings―
Sweetly at peace on his Saviour’s breast.
“Nothing but Christ he has taken with him―
No one but Christ has cleared the way;
Trusting alone on His grand atonement,
Ready for glory―Eternity’s Day.
“Praise to the Father for His gift so precious―
Glory to God for His boundless love;
Millions and millions of tongues will proclaim it,
Through countless ages in rapture above.”
S. G. G.-H.
NEVER think what you have to give up to obtain Christ; but consider what you lose by clinging to those things which are contrary to God’s mind, though delightful to the taste of the natural man.
