RABBI BEN EZRA
Grow old along with me! 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 whole I planned, Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid~
All that is, at all, Lasts ever, past recall;
Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure: What entered into thee, That was, is, and shall be:
Time's wheel runs back nor stops: Potter and clay endur~
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 plannedl Let age approve of youth, and death complete the same!
/Ps. 91:14-16/
Robert Browning
Announcement:
As Brother Glover's wife is dead, 1nd he is shipping
her remains to Santee, s.c.,,I thoQght his going alone
on the train would be a great strain emotionally. Consequently, I decided to accompany him via train there. I regret so much .I _am not here to attend Sister Middlebrook f s funera_i .She_has certainly been a great inspiration to me during my tenure here . as Pastor. The family is certainly blessed to have had such a wonderful person as mother and kindred~ Although siqk !or a long time, Sister Middlel;>rooks ~ept a -~s~-teet :afigelic spirit and countenanc~ until :the very end. No bitterness nor rancor characterized her. ~lthough God has taken much from our midst, yet so much remains. We should be far better because she lived a dedicated life am0ng us.
