IT is a terrible thing to think that someone can commit an unforgivable sin. This possibility, though, is pointed out in the words of our Lord (Mark 3:28- 30). Our first consideration should be the circum­ stances in which they were spoken.


religion, found it impossible to ignore the fact that Jesus was healing people and casting out from them reputed devils. Having witnessed the incarnate love of God at work, they had tried to explain it away as satanic power. These spiritually-blind people could not recognise good when they saw it, actually calling it evil and slandering the Holy Spirit.


Holy Spirit can result in our inability to recognise good when we see it. As we gradually become unre­ sponsive to good, it then becomes indistinguishable to us from evil. We may even be misguided under such circumstances to choose evil and think it to be good.

Our first realisation in the presence of Jesus is a ’ '


Spirit and heeding the tempter’s voice, we can get into such a state that we fail to recognise the loveli­ ness of Jesus. Knowledge of Jesus may then fail to make us aware of our sinfulness. With no sense of sin left, we cannot feel penitence, the one condition for God’s forgiveness, so we cannot be forgiven. JOE STANSFIELD

mole does not dig, but forces itself forwards by * means of its powerful front limbs. The passage is opened by pushing its snout into the earth, which is then pushed aside by the equally powerful neck muscles. The hands are used as scrapers in hard ground only.


When burrowing in ordinary soft ground, the


loose earth, the animal turns and pushes it along to the nearest upshaft, where it is pushed out by - the head and snout, not the hands. Mole hills ure like volcanoes, with the latest material coming up through the centre and then spilling down the sides ■' from the top. In shallow runs the earth may not be' thrown out, but is compressed to the sides and roof, forming a ridge along the surface.


When the burrow behind the mole is filled with


high metabolic rate and die if deprived of food for more than a few hours. Moles do not hibernate;, they feed almost exclusively on earthworms, which- burrow more deeply and arc harder to find in cold' • weather. How then do moles avoid starvation?


Like their relatives the shrews, moles have a


mal to lay up a store of food for the winter. When the first frosts make worms slow moving, moles capture them in large numbers. They bite through . - the nerve cord at the front of each worm so that i t ' remains alive but is unable to crawl away. They are stored, scattered in batches of up to about a ' dozen, inside one of the larger hills.
