The late John Wesley, after a long life of labour and usefulness, concluded his course in perfect peace and holy triumph. A short time before his departure, when a person came into his room he tried to speak to him, but could not. Finding his friend could not understand him; he paused a little, and then with all his remaining strength he cried out, "The best of all is, God is with us." And then raising his feeble voice, and lifting up his dying arm in token of victory, he again repeated, "The best of all is, God is with us." Paul, when a prisoner, had the presence of God. Turn to 2 Timothy 4:16, 17: "At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding, the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me." It was a noble saying of his (Romans 8:31): "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Henry R. Burton.)
