An American Millionaire
|
J. PIERPONT
MORGAN, the American financier,
head of the Atlantic Shipping Combine and the
American Steel Trust, with a capital of some 280 millions,
passed away rather suddenly in 1913, in his 76th year.
One clause of his will, dated 4th Jan., 1913, is specially
interesting. He declares: "I commit my soul into the
hands of my Saviour, full of
confidence that, having
redeemed it and washed it with His
Precious Blood, He
will present it faultless before the Throne of my Heavenly
Father," and he added: "I entreat my children to main-
tain and defend at all hazard, and at any cost of personal
sacrifice, the blessed doctrine of complete atonement of
sin through the Blood of Jesus Christ once offered, and
through that alone."
