Triumphant Dying
Isaiah 43:2
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you…


In her last days Mrs. Booth, of the Salvation Army, sent this message to her friends, — it is a triumphant death-song: "The waters are rising, but so am I. I am not going under, but over. Do not be concerned about your dying. Only go on living well, and the dying will be all right."
