/ PAGE 8 — The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, June 26, 1969 ■■ Your Social Security The Social Security Adminis tration has coined a phrase— “Inquire before you retire”. It may not be very poetic, but it can be important to you if you are near retirement. Taking a few minutes now to find out what you will need when you file your claim for benefits might save several days or pos sibly weeks in the receipt of your first check. Just as every person is dif ferent, so is your claim for soc ial security unique. The circum stances in no two cases are ever exactly the same. We can point out some general rules which apply in all cases, but only by talking with you in person can we explain the details that ap ply in your particular case. To illustrate the uniqueness of each situation, let me point out that some of you work for wages and some of you are self em ployed; or you may be the wife, widow, child, or dependent par ent of an insured worker.

Moments of Memory We are all bound to the shores of time. We can go no further than the rope’s end. Life on earth is beset by tragic limit ations. The noblest ambitions of the soul can never here be real ized. But it will not always be so. The time of unloosing will come and we shall be free to venture beyond the sunset into the unending wonders of God. “Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me And may there be no moaning at the bar When I put out to sea”. The secret of death is hidden from us by the infinite wisdom of tne Almighty, perhaps be cause beyond the gate is a splendor we are not yet worthy to glimpse. Those taken for a time or while, memories will be more precious and beautiful- as life goes on. We know they are with God, the merciful, the just. Oh, Master plant peace hope within our hearts and point us with joy to the great reunion. Tomorrow is revealed to no one not even the wisest, but we have the experience of today with which to start tomorrow; but memories will be more pre cious as life goes on. We ask only that thou give us faith through our tears, plant peace, hope within our hearts and point with joy to the great reunion. We are grateful for these our friends and co-workers for their example cf loyalty to their Mas ter’s Kingdom for the years they lived among us planting seeds to rise and" give in fra grance and beauty .Silent ex pressions of their devotion to ideals, good purposes through their memory. May those who are left ven ture beyond the sunset into the unending wonders of God, and realize that death is one of the sweetest providences. An infin itely wise provision for the un folding life of man—a creative incident in the Christian’s end less career. There are no friends like old friends To calm our frequent fears When shadows fail and deepen Through Life’s declining years; And when our faltering footsteps HAPPY BIRTHDAY June 29; Miss Annie Abrams, Mrs. Ralph Wilbanks, Pauline Wicker, Mrs. Gertrude Duckett, J.
