At the funeral of (Princeton College) President (Samuel) Davies, just as the people were about to take up the coffin, his mother, an aged widow, came to take the last look at her son. She gazed intently upon him; the tears fell upon the face of the corpse as she bent over it; and then, retiring a single step as she still gazed upon him, she exclaimed, 'There lies my only son, my only earthly comfort and earthly support. But there lies the will of God, and I am satisfied.' This was Christian submission.
