Land of the Dying


Source unknown

When John Owen, the great Puritan, lay on his deathbed his secretary wrote (in his name) to a friend, "I am still in the land of the living."

"Stop," said Owen. "Change that and say, I am yet in the land of the dying, but I hope soon to be in the land of the living."
