Synopsis

It would be difficult to find a more beautiful exemplification of the sustaining, comforting, and transporting, influence of Christian faith, than that which is afforded by the closing scene of Dr. Gordon slife. The science which he loved, the exalted reputation he had earned, the numerous friends he had won, although duly appreciated, were not regarded by him as forming any part of that foundation on which he reposed his hope, or from which he derived his consolations in a dying hour. Everything was overshadowed by the cross, and it was the luminous and sole object on which his gaze was intently fixed.
