The minister, Dr. W.C. Templeton spoke from John 13:7: "What I Do Thou Knowest Not now, but thou shalt know hereafter." He referred to the mysteries of life; that there are many things all along life's pathway, which cannot be understood by these finite minds. Among other thins why a beautiful young life like this should be cut off in the very morning of her worldly existence, but assured the sorrowing friends that what is mysterious and difficult to understand now will be made clear when we reached the eternal home.
