Dying Jonathan Edwards to his Children

Jonathan Edwards died in 1758 from a small-pox inoculation. After weeks of worsening health he spoke these words to his daughter.

'As to my children, you are now to be left fatherless, which I hope will be an inducement to you all to seek a Father who will never fail you.'
