2 Timothy 4:6-8 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.… In our Christian course it is but too generally and too truly observed, that as we grow older we grow colder; we become more slack, remiss, and weary in well doing. The reverse ought to be the case, for the reason assigned by the apostle when stirring up his converts to vigour and zeal and alacrity: he says," For now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." In a race the push is made at last. (Bishop Horne.)
