ruth can have real impact when we discover it for our selves.
Our Lord has helped people to think
things out for themselves. His parables were not only designed to get their inter est, but the stories encouraged people to consider the truth that was in them. As a really good teacher, he was able to
s ta r t with the here and now and arrive with them a t the there and then. The stories Jesus told have become
immortal. The details of them were drawn from
every day incidents. As he spoke, Jesus was able to point to the
sower on the nearby field, scattering his seeds. When describing what could happen to the seed, his audience was able to think for itself about the deep, meaningful truth behind his words. Whenever they saw a man sowing seed in the future, they would think of that truth. Some folks are not willing to listen and
learn from the words of others. Have you ever wondered why the synagogues became no-go areas for Jesus? Sometimes the truth hurts when it makes an impres sion on a person’s mind and can be quite
disturbing. Jesus was right to draw attentioi
that made the religious leader uncomfortable. They did not li informed that they had got a wr< of values. The facts were somet revealing for the religious leade were tochers and guides of the p< were shamed by some of the si questions Jesus asked them Some of us would benefit fron pause in our prayers to listen to tions Jesus has for us.

THE picturesque village of Downham has been commem orated for its part in a century
of cinema. A plaque recognising the village’s
part in the famous British film, “Whistle Down the Wind”, which was shot in the Ribble Valley and Burnley in 1961, was placed at the information centre in Downham vil
lage centre. Cinema 100, a body set up by the UK film
industry to co-ordinate and promote activi ties to celebrate 100 years of cinema, gave the go-ahead for the plaque.
TWO Ribble Valley artists are represented in th is y e a r ’s Br itish Watercolour Society Christmas Exhibition at Ilkley. Mr W. Geoff Rollinson, of Church Street, Ribchester, follows up his successful first year of exhibiting at the four seasonal shows in Yorkshire with six wildlife paintings. Mr Rollinson was invited to become an
One hundred plaques have been placed in special sites around the country by the
. British Film Institute’s body, which is chaired by Lord Attenborough, the film’s producer. A Wigan man, Mr John Arthur Grimes, wrote to Cinema 100 to request the plaque at Downham and was present at the unveil ing, on Friday morning. He is pictured (right), next to Mr Steven Higginbottom, of UCI Cinemas, in Preston, who organised the event. The erection of the plaque is topical, as British musical maestro Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is in the process of making the old classic into a stage musical and new film. (CAT 4983).

The second exhibitor from

drink cans in hedges and broken bottles in the church yard and elderly people can concentrate on tackling the main problem of the winter, keeping warm and staying mobile. Attempts were made,
without success, to get the police to walk around the area a t the witching hour. Could the complainants prove that the young peo ple were heaving b its of gravestone around with malicious intent? That was one question quoted to me. That is about as supportive as asking somebody being harassed by teenagers to get th e ir names and addresses. Anyway, while the bad

The result is not only a real improvement in the quality of people’s lives, in terms of what their neighbourhood looks like, but substantial drops in crime statistics, not only for minor offences, but major ones as well.
