reading this editorial, are going to
die and pass on to your reward
whatever that reward may be.
But win you leave a void behind?
Win you be missed?
The Creator has ordained that man
must carve out his own career in this
world, and when he journeys to the
great unknown he leaves behind him
record founded upon his own acts,
You may leave behind you a wife,
or other dependents. As YOU deal by
them in life, so viii their grief be
rauged and tempered at your death.
VIII they miss you?
In this town YOU hnve friends, and
business associates, and perhaps many
acduaintances They know you as
YOU are, as you have becn for these
many years They have judged you
living. and they win Judge you dead.
VIII they miss you?
In the banks and the stores, and
the Offices, and out upon the farms
are people who have known you in
the past and who know you today.
AS you have been, so are you known
30 them now.
win they miss you?
In the house Of darkened windows,
where sweet toned music soothes the
tired brain and the minister tells of
the ways of the better life. a~e many
people who know you for your acts
and your deeds, for that which you
have performed or have left undone.
VIII they miss you?
In homes are many little children
who know you, who have passed you
on the streets. who, perchance, may
have been greeted with kindly smile
or with n frown. They will remember
you.
But will they miss you?
Even your faithful animals or pets
know you as you are and as you
have been to them.
VIII they miss you?
There is no place you may go, no
point on the compass to which you
may turn, but what people have
known you or will know you, and by
all of these you viii be Judged when
you have passed away.
AS you shape your career in life,
so do you write the record by which
you will be known after death.
Your family, your associates, your
acquaintances, even your dumb brutes
viii remember you after you have
passed on.
But will you be missed?-Canon
Record.
