Some of you omight not be familiar with The Wisdom of Solomon as it is not in most Prot-
estant Bibles. It, and Ecclesiasticus,  whence
comes ”to everything there is a season…" are
from the Apocrypha which was written in
the inter-testamentary period. There’s
really good stuff in it. It is in the New
Revised Standard Version of the
Bible, if you’re  interested. Part
of the reading for today,  Wis-
dom 3: 1-9  is a pretty stand-
ard reading at  Episcopal
funerals, which begins
“The souls of the
 righteous are
 in the hand
 of God…”
