Grow along with mel
The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in his hand
Who saith, 11A shole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God; see all, nor
be afraidl 11
All that is, at all, Lasts ever; past recall; Earth chdnges, but thy soul and God stand sure:
What entered into thee,
That"was, is, and shall be: Time's wheel runds back nor stops: Potter and
clay endure.
So, take and use thy work:
Amend what flaws may lurk,
What strain o' the stuff, what warpings past
the aiml
My times be in thy hand!
Perfect the cup as planned!
Let age approve .of youth, and death complete the
sa:"l.e!

Note from Pastor
It is sincerely regretted that I cannot be in the employ of the service today. Court matters pre" vent my being here. God grant that this be a joyous occasion rather than a sad one as Mother Catton's beautiful life prepares her for the ca.ndidacy of God 1s Kingdom, Thanks to the Rev. Nr. Perkin, an able assistant to the Pastor, for his kindness expressed in .accepting this note-
worthy task of eulogizing Mother Cotton.
