A Dying Man's Fruitless Prayer

1900

A man who had lived a very wicked life prayed one prayer on his death-bed, and that was, "Oh, that my influence could be gathered up and buried with me!" The petition was in vain.

He passed away, but his influence remained behind him, and is still working as a blight upon the lives it touched.
