orrow can be a blessing. I t shows us, as nothing else can, the goodness and kindness of


compassion of God. We often face life's difficult times, but sorrow can introduce us to the deep things of life. If, in times of sorrow, we are able to


accept the enveloping compassion of God, new purpose and strength can enter into our soul. When I am asked to minister at a


funeral service, I seek to pass on words of comfort to the mourners who may still be in a state of shock. Inevitably, death comes to us all and it is just as natural as birth. Just before we were born, we were


very snug and comfortable, more comfortable than our mothers. To


come into this world was quite a traumatic experience, I am sure. No wonder we let out cries of protest. We must have wondered where we were. We had been expected for about nine


months and the slap from the hand of the midwife was designed to make us yell out and fill our lungs with much- needed air and s ta rt the breathing process. A great deal of tender loving care came our way a t b ir th . Can there be any doubt that on entering into the next life we shall again expe­


rience a warm welcome and the same loving care as we did when we first entered into this world? Heaven I


am sure, will be far more wonderful than we can imagine. Did you ask, what about help \vB

the Indian Congress Party and he was responsible for introducing a boycott of imported goods to India which was damaging Lancashire’s cotton trade, already reeling from the effects of a world-wide depression. Lancashire people had contributed generously to famine relief funds for India, so the Mahatma came to explain his party’s position. He stayed at a guest house in West Bradford and he met and talked to dozens of people. He explained the problems that faced the millions he

I h e other question is whether he would receive the same reception today as our grandparents and great-grand­ parents so graciously gave the leader of India’s 300 million poor.
