William Carey's Savior His Greatest Concern
William Carey was the great missionary pioneer to India. When he was on his deathbed, he was visited by a young man named Alexander Duff who greatly admired the famous missionary. After a long visit, Carey asked Duff to pray with him. Following the prayer, when Duff turned to leave, he heard Carey's feeble voice calling him back.
"Mr. Duff," said Carey, "you have been speaking about 'Dr. Carey, Dr. Carey.' When I am gone, say nothing about Dr. Carey. Speak about Dr. Carey's Savior."
