Greatest of Miracles


The greatest of miracles That! have ever seen, Is the muddy wastes of bitterness Plucked from lives made clean.


I've seen a twisted mind Straightened by His love, . I've seen a broken heart Healed by His blood.


I've seen a man turn round From the road of death, And by love for God's dear Son I've watched Him born again.


And there’s nothing to compare With this miracle of life, When selfish men begin to share The cup of new wine.

WE more or less grew up together, the old boy I met in King Street this ' morning and I. We played to­ gether as kids, knew the same lads and lasses, possibly fought one another- on one or . two occasions. We greeted each other


warmly and then, “You were writing about clocks recently,” said my friend. I nodded, “Yes, you’re right.” “Then I’ll tell you a tale about clocks; a true one,”


he said. “ It happened 20 or


more years ago. The Rotary Club was having a charity auction sale and I went to help things along. “I didn’t intend buying


anything; there was no­ thing I wanted, but I

raised my finger from time to time just to help the bidding a bit. “Well, the auctioneer put


up this clock and I recog­ nised it right away. I’d seen it hanging in the bank every week when I went in; one of those old- fashioned wall clocks with a pendulum and a couple of weights on long chains, It had been replaced by a modern electric affair. “The bidding started at


£1 and although I didn’t want it, it was for a worthy cause and ‘thirty, bob,’ I called. “To my horror, there


wasn’t another bid and I arrived home with a timepiece I didn’t want and for which I had no room. I stuck it against the wall in the garage. ’ “The years went by and


we moved house and one day I remembered the clock. It had gathered dust and had suffered a lit tle damage to the ‘feather’, but I cleaned it up and carried it up Castle Street to a re­ pairer. “He was’ a pretty good


man at his job and had it three weeks altogether. At first it gained a little, then it lost .a little, but the third week, it ticked away perfectly to the very second. • “I took it along to the


salerooms and said ‘See what you can get for this.’ “I wasn’t able to get
