A Review of “An Overlook oo Life”
By: A Friend
“How beautiful upon the moun
tains are the feet of him who
brings good tidings, who publishes
peace, who brings good tidings fit
♦ good, who publishes salvation.”
For five years Burnsville and
the surrounding area have been
blessed by one who not. only ‘.pub
lished good tidings”, but lived the
“good * news”.
- Rev. Warren S. Reeve came to
Burnsville to. minister, not only to
the Presbyterian Chu'ch which
called him, but to the entire com-,
munity. No denominational lines
bound him, nor did any racial bar
riel's. To him every human being
was a potential child of God, and
therefore of. vital importance.
Quietly, and without any contro
versy, ne showed us that “in Christ
thtre i no. East Por West.” His
prayers,., thought and concern en
veloped, not only those he knew
and -with whom he came in con
tact, hut the whole world. His vast
study ip America and other coun
tries, his service in Japan, Puerto
Rico, as well as various places in
America, gave him a far reaching
and ecumenical horizon of concern.
A listener to one of his Sunday
morning prayers was lifted out of
his own narrowed thought enviorn
nvnt into becoming a part of
.God’s, plan from eternity until the
fulfillment of His Kingdom. Mr.
Reeve .had a beautiful and unique
way of bringing into his prayers
those loved ones departed, until his
hearer had the feeling of having
just been reunited with family and
friends already across the portals
of eternity.
Though frail in health, Mr. Reeve
was motivated by such a love for,
and faith in God, that it trans
coded his own suffering and weari
ness and overflowed into all man
kind. To know him personally was
to knqw more of Christ, for like
• Pauli to him “To Live is Christ”
Faith in its highest fonn was evi
dence in his life. So great was hie'
faith,, so patient with his own suf
fering and waning strength, that
.. the realization was brought to all
pf us that truly, Faith is the victor
of all adversity, even death!
Mr. Reeve’s two main purposes
. in life wire to glorify God and to
minister to mankind. Without
doubt in his 61 years of life he
accomplished his purpose. Countless 1

people were made better physically
and spiritually by his teaching
and prayers.
His greatest ministry was with
the sick. Here his faith seemed, to
lift the sick actually into the (
presence of God and release divine
power into bodies and minds who
had lost health and whose faith .
was-dim by discouragement, bevei ,
did his own illness lessen this
'concern for others. Rather it seem
ed to sharpen it, and many felt
miraculous healing spiritually and
bodily, resulting from his prayers
while he was so sick himself. If
those who knew him best were
prone to wonder why he had so
great an affliction, they soon
realized that his suffering was a
very important part of God’s plan.
Had he not been so acutely aware
of the devastation of disease, how
could he possibly have been so
concerned for all the sick, physi
cally, mentally and spiritually?
The final months of his life por
trayed his faith, and unselfishness
to an even greater extent. Most
of his time was spent in writing
comforting letters to his congre
gation and friends who were in
some way involved with illness. Ai
exerpt from one of his letteii
reads:
“Yesterday and the day before
there came upon me the realization
of the subtle way in which the
range of one’s thinking and of
one’s imagination, while being as
I am, a patient in a hospital, gets
centered around self; to be aware
of one’s, ailments; to be thinking
about this symptom and that; to
keep mulling over the prospect oi
whether there will be improve
ment soon, etc. etc. 1 asked God tc
wash out all- those concerns ol
self interest, so that His love for
others might be the dominant ele
ment in my thinking and feel
ing. I share this, for under pres
ent circumstances, it is my frontier
' where God meets the forces that
are hostile to Him.
It is hard for me, while believ
ing in God's will to heal, not to
give in to the thought that God
wont want to do it in any less in
terval of time than medical ex
perience indicates is the usual, the
average time required for healing,
but must be willing for Him to do
1 it in His own time—on the other
hand, I must not just take it for
granted that a long time must be
required. I musn*t fihmper God by
any presupposition of my own as
to how, or in what manner, or
through whatever length of time,
long or short, He will do it. 1
must trust Him ’utterly and see
Him as His own free agent, wise
and able to do the thing lie wants.”
The service in his memory, held
in the lovely new sanctuary'of the
Methodist Church, was also in
keeping with his life. Instead of
making the service even more
beautiful with the floral gifts of
friends, it was requested that
friends give to the newly establish- 1
ed building fund of the Presby-1
terian Church. Scripture used
pointed to God’s Omnipotence and!
Glory. The music represented the
Trinity, and expressing his own
feelings so vividly, his favorite
hymn.
"My God. How Wonderful,
Thou Art”
My God, how wonderful Thou art!
Thy majesty how bright!
Haw beautiful Thy mere^-seat,
In depths of burning' light!
0 how I fear Thee, living God,
With deepest, tenderest fears,
And worship Thee with trembling
hope
And penitential telilrs!
Yet I may love Thee too, 0 Lord,
Almighty as Thou art,. . ' ,
For thou hast stopped to ask of me I
The love of my poor heart.
No earthly father loves like Thee;
No mother half so mild,
Bears and' forebears as Thou hast
done
With me, Thy sinful child.”
And so typical of his humility
before God, the final verse closed
the chapter of Mr. Reeve’s ministry
here and opened the door to his
eternal life.
“Father of Jesus, love’s reward,
What rapture will it be
Prostrate before Thy throne to lie,
And gaze, and gaze cn Thee!
