 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.” (John 8:51)

Some day you will read in the papers that D. L. Moody, of East Northfield, is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I shall have gone up higher, that is all; gone out of this old clay tenement into a house that is immortal, a body that death cannot touch, that sin cannot taint, a body like unto His own glorious body. I was born of the flesh in 1837. I was born of the Spirit in I856. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit will live forever.
