This WAS Their Finest Hour - Raymond F McNair - March 1965

Raymond F McNair

Never before in the history of the world have so many felt so indebted to one man - Sir Winston Churchill. No funeral was ever attended by so many dignitaries. Many now realize the last of the world's truly great has passed into history. But few understand its prophetic significance for Britain's future. "Churchill is dead!" The world bowed in silence as those three significant words echoed around the earth on Sunday, the 24th of January. Churchill, at ninety, had lived a long and full life. He was blessed by seeing his great-grandchildren. As of the patriarch Abraham, it could also be said Sir Winston "gave up the ghost and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people" (Gen. 25:8 ). Fifteen years ago, on Mr. Churchill's seventy-fifth birthday, he was asked if he had any fear of death. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
