P. H. Pershing's last words at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, June 7,
1891, recited by his son and successor, Thomas Pershing, Edison Dale
Records. It is cause for real regret that none of my late dear father's
words were preserved by means of the phonograph. Perhaps the next best
thing is for me, his son and successor, to repeat what proves to be his
parting message.

It should not be less hurtful now, thirteen years after its delivery,
for the truth of God is unchanging. If you wear the livery of Christ,
you will find him so neat and lowly of heart, that you will find rest
unto your soul. He is the most magnanimous of persons.

There never was his like among the choicest of princes. He is always to
be found in the thickest parts of the battle. When the wind blows cold,
he always takes the bleak side of the hill.

The heaviest end of the cross lies ever on his shoulders. If he bids us
carry a burden, he carries it also. If there is anything that is
greater, generous, kind, and tender, gay, lavish, and superabundant in
love, you always find it in him.

His service is life, peace, joy. Oh, that you would enter on it at once.
God help you to enlist under the banner of Jesus Christ.
