Those of us who were always deeply
appreciatiVe of the opportunity OF hear
ing Bishop Philip Cook. Of the Diocese
of Delaware. are saddened by the pass
ing of a man. the worth Of whose in
fuence was inestimable,
When death follows death in a COM
munity as rapidly as II did here last

tier:
And. in the wind from unsummed
spaces blown
l hear far voices out of darkness
Calling m yfeet to paths unknown:
Suffice It II my good ana Ili unreckoned' !
And both forgiven thrO' Thine abound /
ing grace
! find myself by hands familiar beck
Unto my fitting place"
