Crossof Jesusj,ust not death
BY THE REV,
ARTHUR F. GARDNER,
RETIRED,
UNITED CHURCH
OF CANADA
On more than voce
occasion, during my
ministry, I have found
myself on a partyline of
the local telephone
company. In the midst of
a conversation with
someone I would sud-
dently be interrupted by
another party wanting.
the line. Yet such in-
terruptions cannot
always be attributed to
the same cause.
I remember one in-
stance where subscribers
living in the same neigh-
bourhood were having
great difficulty because
there were strange noises
on the line. All were
surprised to learn later
on, on investigation, that
the interruptions they
were suffering, were
caused by squirrels, who
had chewed through the
cables to get at the in-
sulation,
It might be a relief to
have squirrels to blame
for such, intrusions, but
usually the local sub-
scribers must bear their
share of the blame for
such interruptions.
Perhaps one of the
most famous in-
terruptions in history was
when Coleridge sat down
to write "Kubla Khan".
One night the author had
slept about three hours.
On ,awakening, he took
pen, ink and paper and
inister's
study
wrote, swiftly, the lines
we have preserved for us.
Unfortunately, at that
time, he was called from
his writing by a man on
business. We are not told
the man's name but he
detained the author for an
hour. On his return to the
room, he found to his
chagrin, that, with the

exception of a few lines,
all the rest had vanished
from his mind.
We may ask ourselves:
What did this man want?
Was it all that important?
We can only guess what
his business was; but,
apparently, it occupied
the author's tirne for an
hour. Probably it was
some small thing which
he wished to discuss with
him. We have all seen
folk like that, who talk on
and on about little or
nothing. It makes no
difference, whether one
was writing a letter, or
composing a piece of
music, or a poem:
something should be done
about interruptions. It
does no good to get angry,
because interruptions
will be with us as long as
we live.

live ---remember even
death, itself is an in-
terruption. It was so in
Our Lord's day. You may
recall His words in John
7:33: "Yet a little while, I
am with you, and then I
go-".
The fellowship of Jesus
and His Disciples was not
ended by the Cross, It
was only interrupted.
How could His Disciples,
human as they were,
understand all this? They
did riot at the time. It was
only revealed to them
later.
On the First Easter
Morn, Jesus met Mary in
the garden and resumed
the fellowship which had
been interrupted by the
Cross. Later, He met
Peter and John and the
others and talked with'
them. No wonder John
writes with a new cer-
tainty and assurance
regarding- this in-
terruption we call death.
He has Jesus saying,
"Yet a little while and the
world seeth Me no more,
but ye see Me: And
because I live, ye shall
live also." (John -14:19)
This is the source of our
great confidence: That
life is all one; even
though, somewhere along
the line, it is interrupted
by death. Yet, that in-
terruption, is a part of life
itself. Thus we are
assured:
"Whatever is, here,
faithfully begun,
Will be completed, not
undone."
