Emphasis Preaching Journal

Dean Frederick Farrar was a personal friend of Queen Victoria, and he tells of a conversation he once had with the English monarch. She had heard one of her chaplains preach a sermon on the return of Christ. She said to her friend, "Oh, Dean Farrar, how I wish the Lord would come during my lifetime!" When he asked her why, with deep emotion she said, "Because I would love to lay my crown down at his blessed feet in reverent adoration!"
