Not a #kembertext, but the graves of the man and woman behind the Kember framed Scripture prints, Mr. & Mrs. Walter & Wilma Kember. Blackwell Cemetery, Blackwell Road, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. I also posted Walter and Wilma’s late eldest son, James Kember’s, headstone. James’ tragic death in an accident on the family farm at twelve years old in 1955 was a major impetus for Walter to dedicate the rest of his life to spreading the Gospel of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, through free and worldwide distribution of framed Scripture prints.
I have no doubt, dear reader, that the issue that Mr. Kember would have you face is that same issue he dedicated his life to spreading and had carved in granite on his family headstone: “Prepare to meet thy God” and “Ye must be born again.” (Amos 4:12 & John 3:7). Are you prepared? Are you born again?
1 Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound!
My ears attend the cry:—
Ye living men! come view the ground
Where you must shortly lie.
2 Princes! this clay must be your bed,
In spite of all your towers;
The tall, the wise, the reverend head
Must lie as low as ours.
3 Great God! is this our certain doom?
And are we still secure?
Still walking downward to our tomb,
And yet prepare no more!
4 Grant us the powers of quickening grace
To fit our souls to fly;
Then, when we drop this dying flesh,
We’ll rise above the sky.
-Isaac Watts, 1707
