'UNFINISHED BUSINESS’ All great people, when we come to think of it, living as nature lives— When an acorn fallen from an oak at last splits husk, sprouts, and begins to take root, how much unfinished business lies ahead of it! It has no contract with the sun and rain to have become an oak tree by a certain date. But with their help it will grow until it towers and spreads shade, in the good time we call God's. We ought as trustingly to let our plans and problems ripen to solution, knowing there is another Hand in the business beside our own. To leave a question to unfinished business is not to abandon the task. It is to attain the maturity and strength to carry on with it when the call to effort comes.
