An old African who had long served the Lord, when on his death-bed, was
visited by his friends, who came around him lamenting that he was going
to die, saying: "Poor Pompey! poor Pompey is dying." The old saint said
to them, with much earnestness: "Don't call me poor Pompey. _I_, KING
Pompey," referring to Revelation i. verse 6.--"_And hath made us kings
and priests unto God and His Father._"
