2 Timothy 4:6-8 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.… On one occasion, preaching from the text of St. Paul, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course," he suddenly stopped, and looking up to heaven, cried with a loud voice, "Paul! are there any more crowns there?" He paused again. Then, casting his eyes upon the congregation, he continued, "Yes, my brethren, there are more crowns left. They are not all taken up yet. Blessed be God! there is one for me, and one for all of you who love the appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ." (Life of Father Taylor.)
