ave you ever realised that when we find that Jesus has come into our lives, making all


things new for us and re-form­ ing our attitude to everything, we should not, nay must not, keep the experience to our­


selves as a private matter? When we are able to echo St Paul


and say: "I know that my redeemer lives" it is essential to testify to the fact for the sake of others. The great truths revealed to us through, the abiding transforming friendship of Jesus in our everday lives are for sharing. The more we can give away of that which we have received, the more we can enrich


the lives of others. Tolling others of our new insights may not come easily. We may find


it difficult to put into words the certainties which have become the keystones of our lives, but the way in which we live, our actions and reactions, and our attitude to oth­ ers, will speak for us. Actions have always been understood to speak more eloquently than words. What we are describes who we are as we live according to our basic convic­ tions. The watchwords of the early Ghristians was "Jesus is Lord" and this has not changed over the cen­ turies. A Ghristian wholeheartedly accepts the teachings of Jesus, gleaned from the testimonies of witnesses which are found in the New Testament. To be a disciple simply means to be a learner and this is an ongoing experience. The more we live as in the presence of our risen living Lord day by day.


the more we learn of Him. This is knowledge to be shared as best we can with others. According to the personality we

are, wo are apt to come to learn of Jesus in many and varied ways. As other followers of Jesus tell us of their experiences and convictions, we must not despair because our experience does not tally with theirs. God lias great respect for individ­

when Coun. Hall has to "declare his interest" at committee discussions involving the company or any allied subject. Equally intriguing will be how Liberal Democrat Coun. Paul Adnitt remembers what he gleaned, when pressing the flesh, of views on Castle Cement's activities. He SEEMED surprised, but WAS he -


and is he still? No one who has watched Harry


perform could accuse him of political naivety, tunnel vision perhaps, but he's all there with his coughdrops. Neither could this be said of Tory Coun. Chris Holtom, the man who, with his county councillor's hat on, felt in no way "mandated" by Kibble Valley's unanimous desire (his other hat) for him to press for Castle Cement to be made to seek planning

but I do have one reporting gripe As r see it


ment, Liberal Democrat hats were pressed down over their owners' eyes when it came to health. Two select committees demanded a comprehen­ sive health survey after looking at Castle Cement alone, so how will Harry and company "see" the allegedly mounting evidence of Tar­ mac's air pollution, plus the "discov­ ery" that Clitheroe Auction Mart has been incinerating plastic cups for maybe six years? If to this we add Castle Cement’s 15th place in Friends of the Earth's tables of diox­ ide emitters in England and Wales, I d 's 25th place in the table of North West emitters of known car- cigonens, the reopening of Bellman Quarry and the planned extension of the industrial estate on the Tarmac-


owned land to the rear of the hospi­ tal, how long will it be before patients and staff are lost in an industrial fug? So will hats be off? Watch this space, as they say. Finally, the shift into local politics


of national considerations has dis­ mayed many, which is why I agreed to put up as an Independent in the Grammar School Ward at the recent elections - only to be scuppered by problems involving Kibble Valley staff. My complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman has now produced a ruling that the staff involved are outside her jurisdiction - apparently they are fireproof, being neither chalk nor cheese when on election duties. So there we are again, folks - two hats are always

There are more and more women coming into it, although some less enlightened men on site are still shocked when they find out what my job is." Her work for £24m.

Manchester last Friday. Aged 51, she is a senior support worker


at Caldcrstones Hospital, caring for clients with learning disabilities. She decided to carry out the NVQ programme to increase her career prospects and also prove to herself that she was capable of achieving levels 2 and 3. "Josephine was very pro-active


throughout the NVQ programme," said training officer Kathleen van Dikj. "I con­ sider her to be an exceptional person in her attitude towards work."

that, rather than targeting the village's mill in particu­ lar, German aircraft were going for any obvious man­ ufacturing premises. One former employee at


the mill who was nearby at the time has suggested that the large skylight windows could have been screened more from the inside than


they were. The glint from them


could have attracted atten­ tion from bombers on the regular run across the area to Liverpool. Any official report of the incident - if there was one - would be of great interest. Does anyone know if such a document, compiled per­ haps after the war, exists?


where they stand to see their point of view. The outline of a familiar hill may look completely different from the other side. The hill remains the same but our point of view changes how we look at it and reveals new aspects not revealed before. When we are prepared to accept


Jesus as the Lord of our life, in the moments of our making important decisions we shall ask Him for guid­ ance, to find out what He wills for us, and according to our acceptance of His counsel! others will see in our lives the evidence of our belief. This will be our testimony to others that in Ghrist we are the sons and daughters of God.
