he hint half guessed, the gift half under­ stood is Incarnation.


Here the impossible union of


spheres of existence is actual. Here the past and the future


are conquered and recon­ ciled....” T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets


“Impossible union” indeed. On the one hand we can readily

a weekly look at local issues, people and places for the week Bethlehem problem


imagine the cattle shed, per­ haps with cattle in it, with the consequent smell of cattle. We can picture the manger,


with the newborn boy lying in it, regularly wet and dirty, utterly dependent for every­ thing. On the other hand we believe


this helpless infant to be God. And what on earth do we imag­ ine God to be? Nothing on earth. Nothing we can begin to


imagine. Something/someone entirely beyond anything we can ever think or imagine. This is the impossible union


of spheres of existence, this is the hint at the very best half guessed, the gift half under­ stood. Except that, I suspect, Eliot


was very much overstating the situation. I strongly suspect that we do not even half guess nor half


understand the Incarnation: as finite beings we simply cannot begin to guess, let alone under­ stand the Infinite. We are left as Eliot observes, with “prayer, observance, discipline thought and action”. “For us, there is only the try­


ing. The rest is not our busi­ ness.”

YOUNGSTERS at Pendle Primary School rolled up their sleeves and enjoyed cooking tasty treats for a very special occasion. Although the school has


been recognised with a National Healthy School sta­ tus, the pupils decided to have a change and made iced


ginger biscuits with a Christ­ mas theme for their festive party. Pictured are the young


cooks making, shaping and baking the biscuits in the school’s new activity room, which is normally used for design and technology les­ sons. (s)


Party for all ages OLDER members of St Mary’s Catholic Church, Osbaldeston, experienced an afternoon “at school”, when they enjoyed a Christmas party hosted jointly by local primary school pupils and the parish. They were entertained by young


musicians from St Mary’s RC Pri­ mary School and served tea in the hall, triggering happy memories for many “old boys and girls” of the school. Attending the party was the old­


est “old girl” in the parish, Mrs Hedley, who celebrated her 100th birthday in July this year. Mrs Hedley told the children stories of her time at St Mary’s between 1911 and 1918 and how the school has changed since her time. Our picture shows Mrs Hedley

of success TWO fine chocolate bars have given a Ribble VaUey entre­ preneur a flavour of success. Neil Kelsall, of Chipping, is manag­ ing director of Mala­ gasy Ltd, which has just been named Start Up Business of the Year by the North West Society of Chartered Accountants. Malagasy means


of, or from Madagas­ car - an island just off the west coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. The company’s


mission is to produce unique, equitably- traded culinary delights and use its “Equitrade” ethos to ensure any added value generated is shared equitably among those involved. With a UK base in


Bilsborrow, Mala­ gasy Ltd has its Madagascan base in the island’s capital Antananarivo. This year Mala­


gasy Ltd’s first prod­ ucts-the Mora Mora and Sambira- no. 2006 fine choco­ late bars - have been stocked in Waitrose and Fortnum and Masons, as well as more locally in the Wellsprings Health Store, Puddleducks at Dunsop Bridge and Clitheroe’s Cof­ fee Exchange. Said Mr Kelsall:


“This is the icing on the cake, as only in the last few weeks we have achieved recog­ nition from the Academy of Choco­ late as producing one of the finest choco­ lates in the world. “Even the Mada­


gascar Embassy rec­ ognize that this is the direct first added value trade link between the UK and Madagascar.”
