A GROUP of "Children of Chernobyl" - young people from an area of Belarussia affected by radioactive fall-out - is making another enjoyable visit to the area. Among their many trips was one to talk to the Mayor of


the Ribbie Valley, County Coun. Chris Holtom. He is seen here in his parlour showing the young visitors the bor­ ough’s mace, a modern design of a civic token dating back centuries. (Co20600/5/4)

THERE is no more sin­ cere and vivid way of acknowledging the per­ sonal benefit received from medical research work than jumping on your bike to raise more


money for it. Whalley personality Mr

There is a great lack of faith. The way of faith .to a Christian is


to take God at His word and just as they are to cast themselves on His love and mercy. It is to realise that the important thing is not what we can do for God, but what God has done for us, and respond according­


ly- -St Paul taught that we could never earn or deserve the favour of God. The fact is, all we can do is to accept in wondering love, gratitude,


N these days we have only to look around us to note how many have


and trust, all that God has done for us.


is evidence of great forgiving love and we who receive it can never thank him enough for this blessing. We can simply take it for granted, as so many do, or in deep apprecia­ tion, can try to return the service of love in sheer gratitude to the One who has first loved us. Love, freely expressed, has a way


Grace, God's undeserved favour,


of attracting love. In the best remembered Bible


passage, John 3 v 16, we read that God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in him should have everlasting life. Each one of us is included in that whosoever. The great love of the Father is empha­ sised and revealed in the life, wit­


ness and sacrificial death of Jesus, as in the New Testament. Here we can read the teaching ministry of our God, depicting what God is like. The statements of Jesus were


often breathtaking and original in his day, giving an entirely new con­ ception of God and His love for his


people. Instead of a perceptive God looking for flaws to punish, Jesus


told of a loving, heavenly Father who sought only to encourage the best that was in his children. As we fully appreciate our


Father God's love for us, we become ashamed of our own past unworthi­ ness, and as we seek to achieve our highest in prayer, we ask to be guid­ ed in our thoughts to be enabled to live nearer to God's way for us. God-given insight, and the dis­

covery of the Holy Spirit's power within ourselves, leads us to have a great desire to live in God's way from then on. We find ourselves lifted above the desires and designs of our past life to a higher plane of thought than we had conceived before. A right relationship with God becomes the most important thing in our life, and from then onwards we seek to share what has been given to us as a very special joy.


and we seek to be with as many kindred spirits as possible, that working together with them we may yet help to make this a more Christian world. Best of all, the risen Saviour comes to live in us and with us all the days of our life. Joe Stansfield
