Three Score and Ten in Retrospect
serene resignation that life's journey is about to end, has not thought about the eternal destination and what might be there? Centuries ago the man Job, so long blessed with material blessings, only to find himself sorely afflicted by all that can befall a human being, sat with his companions and uttered the timeless, ageless question, "If a man die, shall he live again?" In the Easter season, when all Christendom observes the resurrection and seeks the answers to many questions, there in the forefront is the question raised by Job, if a man die, shall he live again? Dirksen said: "If there be a design in this universe and this world in which we live, there must also be a designer who can behold the inexplicable mysteries of the universe without believing that there is a design for all mankind and also a designer. If a man die, shall he live again? Surely he shall, as surely as day follows nights, as surely as the stars follow their courses, as surely as the crest of every wave brings in froth, so surely shall man live again." I'm sure John knew that this life is not the end, and what has been said here today by the speakers would bear that out.

There is a time appointed that all shall rise from the dead; and there is a space between the time of death and the resurrection. And now, concerning this space of time, what becometh of the souls of men is the thing which I have inquired diligently of the Lord to know; and this is the thing of which I do know.. .Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life. And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow." I don't know how soon that would be. I assume that John's already
