We loved you Pop, we miss you

In our memories you are ever dear
Thoughts return to scenes long
past
Time speeds on but memory lasts
The world may change from year
to year.
And friends from day to day,
But never will the one we love
From memory pass away
You will always be remembered
BY the ones that loved you best
Rest in peace your work is ended
SWeetly sleep your deeds are done
You have gone where those who
love you
Soon are coming one by one.

ABUNDANT LIFE
bonn TAKE III Easy

In the Book Of Luke there is a
story about a man whose yield
was so great that he decided to
build larger warehouses. When
he accomplished this and sur
veyed all of his possessions, he
reached a conclusion many people
think they would like to reach.
Soul" he said, take your
ease, eat, drink and be merry,
for you have much goods laid
up for many years.
Note the words, Take your ease.
Regardless of your position or
circumstances in life, regardless
Of whether you have much or
little, have you ever said to your
self, I'D like to take it eaSy'P
IF you have, consider what
happened next to the man about
whom Luke wrote.
This man suddenly heard q
voice:
Thou fool, this night thy soul
is required Of thee"
A decision to take It easy turned
out to be that mans most inn
pertant decision, but it was also
his last decision.
Ease is a dangerous condition.
We are not concerned with
taking it easy in the sense of a
well-deServed rest or vacation
after abundant labor, but with
the kind Of ease which means
retirement-quitting where you
are, staying put.
Such retirement is not of God,
nor is it sanctioned in Gods
Word, for life is a forward thing
from which there can be no re-
tirement. When a human being
stops living" he is dead-even
though he still has a body and is

able to walk about.
There are three great tenden-
cieS in mankind to take it easy,
which should be avoided.
l. Taking it easy beside ones
failures.
2. Taking it easy beside ones
successes.
8. Taking It easy right where
you are now.
Judas Iscariot might have been.
forgiven, and he might have
turned the direction Of his life
from the faint Of betrayal to great
accomplishments he hadn't de-
cided to quit with his failure.
Peter, after he denied the Lord
three times, might also have ended
his life, but instead he wept for
his failure, obtained forgiveness
and struck out ahead to a new
life of service.
In the Bible BaTnabaS is pic
tured as a man of great material
success. He could have retired
with his wealth, but instead he
became i companion of the great
Apostle Paul, and he used his
fortune for the benefit Of those
less fortunate.
There can be no point of re-
tirement at all, not for anyone at
any time, for at that very point
Cod may require your soul Of
you. It is dangerous to become
discouraged and quit because Of
past sins or failures; it is dan
gerous to take it easy because Of
past triumphS or successes; and,
in fact, it IS dangerous to take it
easy regardless Of your situation
in life.
Ease is the most dangerous
thing in the world.
Don't take it easy.

FUTURE PMGRIMAGEs
THE CIVIC" the publication of the American Vir-
cir Islands Civic Association, Of which Ashley 1. Tottcn
IS president, has published its January issue. 1t is a well
printed and edited paper often containing much yall-
able information about the Association and things re-
lating to the Islands in general.
THE JANUARY issue Of "The Civic as would be
expected, devotes practically all this issue to the First
Pilgrimage to these Islands. And no doubt that is what
should have been the case because the Pilgrimage,
viewed from whatever angle, was an accomplishment
worthy OF note, as this paper has repeatedly said.
NOW THAT is known that there can be a piL
grimage Of Virgin Islanders; that there are natives and
others who will take advantage of the opportunity; that
there is a period in the year which fits admirably into
the timing Of the pilgrimage, further, more detailed
plans for future pilgrimages should be started now.
THIS PROGRAM IS a tremendous thing. It re-
quires the time, the planning, the foresight, and the de-
termination OF a number Of persons whose devotion and
love for their island is beyond the highest order. Into
such a category must be placed the name of Ashley /.
Totten, whose hard work, devotion and vision started
the ball rolling. And with him, his staff and co-workers,
including men like Joseph Ritzberg, Thorvald Nielsen
and George James.
THERE is MUCH work to be done on Pilgrimages.
Tor the future. Much work. More detailed planning to-
avoid such a situation as last-rhinute collection of funds
by generous businessmen and others; a closer knit
schedule permitting the visitor to take in all the activi-
ties they desire, and greater freedom to seek board and
lodging on a wider basis. In fact, the greatest single step
to- this whole affair would be the appointment Of a bust
ress manager who would take all these matters into.
consideration and work on them far enough in advance
to clear all possible bitches. Pan American has a travel
bureau which, we are sure, could be Of great help in just
this sort Of thing.
