Must Take Up Task.
The thought for the afternoon is
not so much a question Of sorrow, al

MS to take up and finish the task

Death is like the closing Of the
door of a small room when one
passes through and goes forth into
Gods big out-Of-doOrs. God uses
the worthwhile life that lies beyond
where we take up the larger tasks
of the spiritual world.

cannot stand still. and death only
translates us TO the larger life. In
the optimism OF JudsOn Taylor he
would have US find comfort and hope

of Easter-tide. this is the message
from the speechless lips Of JudsOu
Taylor. and as we go from this place
let US remember in our prayers the

and sister. away out yonder in theil
