• Even the strongest must yield to the infirmities of old age
• We must not expect the older generation to be able to serve God as they once did. The next generation must pick up the sword.

• “The world must be governed, not by force, but right, by the law of equity, not of arms” (Matthew Henry)
• Written records and documents are essential for remembrance, protection, and prevention
