Bishop Ken in Life and Death
2 Timothy 4:6-8
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.…


Nothing could be more beautiful than Ken's life. His days at Longleat are amongst the treasured memories of one of England's fairest spots; and his last journeys derive a tender pathos from the singular fact of his carrying his shroud in his portmanteau — he remarking that it "might be as soon wanted as any other of his habiliments." He put it on himself some days before the last; and in holy quietness and peace, his death was as beautiful as his life.

(J. Stoughton, D. D.)
