From the vault: Horatius Bonar edited The Christian Treasury for 21 years.
In the volume from 1859:

"A missionary went to the dying bed
of one of his converts from heathenism.
‘I understand, said the convert, "that you have been preaching today about heaven. Tomorrow I shall be in heaven, and I shall go right to the Saviour and thank him for leading you to leave your home in a foreign land, to
tell us poor, darkened heathens about Him and the way to heaven.

Then I shall go and sit down by the pearly gate and wait til you arrive. Then I shall take you by the hand and lead you to the Saviour, and tell him, 'This is the man that taught me the way to this happy world.'"

To be used by God, even once, in such a way as this is the privilege of a lifetime.
