WHILE being enter­ tained at a Ribble Val­ ley charity event last summer, a visitor suc-


| cessfully bid hundreds I of pounds to secure a 50th birthday present


| for her husband. Mrs Celine Corfteld’s


very expensive gift for hus­ band Jim, food hall director of Fortnum and Mason, comprised a night at Gis- bum's Stirk House Hotel,.a


helicopter ride courtesy of Roger Griffiths, of Griffair, and two nights at Preston's Bartle Hall Hotel, which is owned and managed by friends of Stirk House Hotel proprietors Mr and Mrs Malcolm and Karen Weaving. Mr Corfield was being


entertained by Mr and Mrs Philip and Dorothy Mclvor, of Farmhouse Bis­ cuits of Nelson, a t the Freshfields Trust charity event at the Gisburn hotel.


Weaving said that Mr Cor­ field was heard to say that the couple could have had three weeks in the Caribbean for what Celine had paid for their trip to Lancashire! The couple thoroughly

enjoyed their weekend, however, and have promised


to return. Pictured arriving at the

I give you a straight answer to th a t one. Yes, I believe in Satan, but not the one. folks describe as possessing horns, two cloven hoofs and a tail. He must exist. He spoke to you very, recently."


1 ' "What -he spoke tome? Neveri ^ "Yes," I replied. He just said: 'Epugoue


I The lad's face reddened, for he remem­ time..’. chip shop'.. . quick."’


bered his hasty exit on observing the hymn books being handed out. Here was my


opportunity to get a word in. "Satan is quite happy to have people


deluded into thinking that he doesn't exist. He can work much better if his suggestions and temptations are accepted as our own thoughts. We are better able, to recognise him for what he is if we remember how the Bible'describe him as 'Our adversary, the


| devil.' . ■ . ■ "Forewarned is forearmed. If we try. to ■ , T. . •


reason with or argue with Satan we always lose. He is a clever devil and too cunning in evil ways for us to fight him on our-own.'


We can ward him off by crying out to Jesus for help. A simple 'quick, Lord, help me now' prayer will help you deal with him as


he deserves." By this time we had been joined by sev­


eral other club members who were keenly interested in the conversation. Some grinned. Others looked serious and some seemed to be quite taken aback, but all


were interested to discuss the matter. My memory cannot recall our conversa­


tion in full, but the young people agreed that temptations were coming their way from somewhere or someone. I persuaded them to realise that just as it was so easy to listen to the voice of the tempter, it was also possible to hear the voice of Jesus speaking in their hearts. They could listen to whom they chose. I pointed out that every day was a day of decisions, a kind of judgment day when they had the opportu­ nity to acquit themselves well, or condemn themselves. I t was for them to choose whose voice was to be the prevailing one in


their minds and hearts. I t pleased me to note that lad's interest­


ed presence at future epilogue sessions. He had made his decision.


My reason for bringing up this incident .


from the past is because of its relevance to the present experience of all of us. At the moment of challenge, I was enabled through the Holy Spirit to find a suitable, answer and reasoned thought to help that, lad and possibly some of those who joiped us. I am now praying that such inspiration may reach a far greater audience to prove a blessing to each one who will think on


these things. . ; .
