How much will he missed at some

the first time. >ur names are called,
and we are not. here to answer?
Individual Decides
Frankly, my friends, it depends
upon each of us individually, and
upon the manner of our lives here
and now.
No man is missed because he
accumulates gr.-at wealth Rather
men are missed because, in the
sp rit of love with those wh > have
nothing. One is missed in propor-
tion to his giving of himself, sacri-
ficing what self interest would
counsel him t 1 keep foi himself.
No man is an island. I believe it
was John Donne who first wrote
that. The Scriptures put it even
mole forcibly, "No man liveth in-
to himself, arid no man dieth uri-
to himself" No matter how self-
ishly we think and low our neigh-
bors are affected by our living, and
Wf by theirs.
The curse of our generation is:
selfishness and selfishness goes
deep. Some people even d • good
deeds for the selfish hope of ac-
claim and credit. This helps but lit
love which expects to receive love j
and its material expressions in re-1
turn. If your love has so limited |
an area, you will be missed but j
little.
The world needs desperately.!
men and women s > filled with the 1
Divine Spirit that they love all
mankind.
Such love is more than sentimen-1
tal talk or pious pose.
It is the outreach of ones life to
enrich the lives >f others. It is the;
giving of ones own life that others ,
may live.and live more abundantly :
Such love is given without th<-
expectation of any return. It loves
and gives for the sheer j >y of lov-
ing and giving Such persons are
few. But. when they are gone the j
world misses them.
