On Writing a Will

"There is something exceedingly solemn in writing words which shall not be read till we can write and read no more; in sealing a paper which shall not be opened till we are laid in our graves. And thus one would think that the bare thought of making our will, the mere consciousness of writing and sealing an instrument so full of death, if I may so speak, in every line, ought in itself be the most impressive of sermons." This sermon, preached by Dr. Thomas Arnold, the famous English headmaster of Rugby School, considers the importance of writing a will for God's glory, and the edification of man. A must read for anyone (especially a Christian) thinking of writing his will.
