— 02Q0 22323 — THE win . simply means Good News. I f you


are now asking, "What good news?” I must hasten to say that is good news about God’s attitude to us and


. the difference it can make in our lives. Perhaps you are what has been described as "Gospel hard­


ened.” You have heard it all before — this heavenly Father, who sent His son to live among us with His new teaching that caused Him to be crucified, who rose again from the


dead and is now with His followers everywhere. You say that you know all about it and it leaves you


unmoved? Excuse me, but you would nut be unmoved if you really knew all about it! Not even half the good news can have sunk into your comprehension. You must have listened time and again without understanding, or you would not be hardened m heart and mind about the good news. It seems difficult to realise, from my point of view,


how this can have happened to you. 1 have to endea­ vour to stand in your shoes and share something of the per­ spective you have, due to your own distinctive experiences. It may well be that you have not been moved by the gen­ uine, joyous testimony of a truly thankful born-again Chris­ tian, or no .words uttered in the pulpit by a dedicated inspired preacher have carried enough power to move your


1


hardened heart. Perhaps you have becume bitter because God did not spare your son, daughter, wife, husband, loved one; so you decided against the act of prayer in future. “God does not keep HLs promises!” exclaimed one such


bitter soul to me. when I sought to know what had prompted such a remark, 1 was shown the words of Jesus promising to do anything we pray for in His name. Any­ thing! There it was repeated in St John’s Gospel, chapter 14. I am not telling you the verse, because 1 want you to look it up and read the words in the context our Lord uttered them. Perhaps you treated God as a super Father Christmas


and, having poured out all your wants, added “ III Jesus’s name, Amen.” Unless we fully grasp the idea of what is meant by praying in Jesus’s name, our prayer life experiences may be a great disappointment to us. Jesus did not say that all our neutions in His name would be granted, to the extent that all we had to do after listing all our wants was to add “In Jesus’s name, Amen.” We should never expect prayers of personal ambition, or


revenge, for instance, to he granted, because we have added the words “In Jesus's name” to our prayers. True prayer in Jesus’s name is ended, “Thy will be clone." This has not been spoken out of personal desire, but ill the spirit of what Jesus would pray.

Hoping for success with second novel


another two years to find their way into print.


I That has not, however,


stopped Margret Shaw’s latest novel for young peo­ ple, “ Thirty-six Hours,” from finding its way on to the bookshelves. Mrs Shaw, of Pagefield


Crescent, actually wrote three books and half o f another before she had the first one published in 1990. Her first book helped to establish her reputation,


not only on the home front but internationally, after its appearance in the USA and its translation into Greek, Dutch and Italian language editions. She explained that the


delay in seeing the trilogy in print was partly due to her publisher, Oxford Uni­ versity Press, which pub­ lishes only 10 children’s novels annually — all of which have been chosen as topical for that year’s list. “When they saw the


script of my first book, ‘A Wider Tomorrow,’ they suggested that it be split in to tw o b o o k s ; th e remainder will form part of my third novel, which I have titled ‘The Chaser.’” Mrs Shaw is now hoping


for similar success with her latest book, which is aimed at children in the 14-plus bracket, although she admits that it can be enjoyed by some as young as 11. Each o f my novels


attempts to address a dif­ ferent philosophical idea or notion for children to think about,” she explained. Children can read the


book straight or, i f they are so inclined, can con­ sider the thoughts that lie behind the decisions one has to make.” The plot o f her latest


book centres around two nurses involved in a dis­ pute about staffing levels.


One of them looks for his­ torical inspiration from the story of the “ lady of the lamp,” Florence Nightin­ gale, who was concerned that nurses in the Crimea were not being accepted as professionals — so much so that she refused to work until the problem was sorted out. Each character has to


decide to what lengths she might personally go to find a solutic” . In Florence Nightingale’s case, she


withdrew labour for six


days. “ My f ir s t book was


about taking control of our own lives, o f making our own decisions on our own future. The latest book looks at how we make moral decisions for the good of the greatest num­ ber of people,” said Mrrs Shaw. The initial inspiration


for Mrs Shaw’s writing stems from her former role as a school’s inspector and, she says, the various educational ideas floating about in her head.


V B t ' cSi Margret Shaw “ The re was n e v e r a


point when I decided that I was going to write. I just kept on promising myself that I would start,” she says. “ But my reasons for


taking the plunge were based on my belief that a gap existed in books which might appeal to young people between the teen­ age and grown-up stages.” Mrs Shaw, a native o f


County Durham, has a degree in philosophy from the University o f Wales and an MA in Education from the Open University.


She moved to the Ribble


Valley 15 years ago with her husband, the late Mr Alan Shaw. Their son, Alasdair (15), is a pupil of Clitheroe Royal Grammar


School. In her current role as an


educational consultant, Mrs Shaw wr ite s and delivers education training courses to colleges and universities throughout


the country. She is a governor o f


Pendle County Primary School and an area adviser for the National Women’s Register.


Hoghton Tower history


Antique end Longs Case Specialists |


A' MEMBER of the Whal- ley History Society who acts as a part-time volun­ te e r guide at Hoghton Tower has written a new book on an illustrious member of the aristocratic family. Mrs Margaret Pannikar


(62), o f Clayton-le-Dale, put three years’ research into the finished work on M a j . G e n . D a n i e l Hoghton. Daniel Hoghton, the


second son of Sir Henry Hoghton, was born at Hedingham Castle, Essex, in August, 1770. Mrs Pannikar decided to


undertake the research after a visitor to Hoghton


suggested to her that it was time a biography o f


Daniel was written. For the purposes of her research, Mrs Pannikar


was given access to a vari­ ety of private family docu­


ments by Sir Bernard and Lady de Hoghton. “My search has involved


me chasing all over the country to find undocu­ mented material, so that what we have come up with is a new hook, which is all original,” said Mrs Pannikar. The s to ry o f Daniel


Hoghton tells of his early childhood and a visit to Walton Hall, with instruc­ tions to prepare a bed for the young man and his servant, but with a plea “to keep the dogs out of our room — they fill it so full of flees.” A b ou t 1793, Dan ie l


jo in ed the A rm y and became a captain in the Prince o f Wales Volun­ teers, moving up the ranks to become a major in 1799. On November 22nd, 1804, he was appointed lieuten­ ant-colonel of the newly- formed second battalion of the 8th F o o t (K in g ’ s Regiment). The Peninsula W a r ,


from 1808 to .1814, was fought in Spain and Portu­ gal by British, Spanish and Portuguese forces under the Duke o f Wel­


lington, and saw the then Maj. Gen. Hoghton in action. Daniel was killed in a battle at Albuera on the May 16th, 1811. Proceeds from the. sale


of the book, which costs £3.50, are in aid of the Hoghton T ow e r Trust. Copies are available from' Mrs Pannikar, Bromiley, C l a y t o n - l e - D a l e , Blackburn.
