YOUR WORLDLY AFFAIRS
“In the Order for the Visitation of the Sick in the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England, instructions are given to the minister as to various exhortations to the sick persons with regard to his spiritual affairs. The rubric following with regard to his temporal affairs draws attention to a matter which, though many ministers may think it presumption to make such an inquiry, 'is often of the gravest importance. And if he hath not before disposed of his goods, let him then be admonished to make his will, and to declare his debts, what he oweth, and what is owing to him; for the better discharging of his conscience, and the quietness of his executors. But men should often be put in remembrance to take order for 'the settling of their temporal estates, whilst they are in health. The remembrance of a fragrant life, full of good and kindly deeds, has often been spoiled by the irreparable omission to make a will.!’ —A writer in The Record of the United Free Church.
