During  the  sbcteen  years  of  his  retiteraent  from  the
pastorate  he  read  the  Bible  through,  word  for  word,
the  almost  incredible  number  of  one  hundred  and
fifty-seven  times,  marking  down  on  the  fly-leaves
when  he  began  and  when  he  ended  each  reading.
It  was  a  striking  and  beautiful  coincidence  that  just
at  eleven  o'clock  on  Sabbath  morning,  the  exact  hour


at  which,  for  threescore  years,  he  had  gone  to  his
church  to  hold  up  Jesus  to  the  people,  and  with  them
sing  his  praises,  the  summons  came,  and  he  went  up,
through  the  "beautiful  gate,"  into  the  heavenly
temple,  to  meet  his  congregation,  and  with  them  join
in  that  nobler  worship  where  every  cloud  is  lifted
and  where  they  now  see  the  King  in  his  beauty.
