bought for the Week Gifts we are given f . I passages irT Corinthi- NE of my,Tavourite:


. V ^ : ans is where Paul uses . different parts of the body to ■ show us that however humble or mundane we may feel our role, we are all essential to the


, right working of the whole. Indeed,- the body does not


consist of one member but of many.Tf the foot would say


;:“Beoaus'e Lam not a hand, I ; do not belong to the body,” ■ that would not make it.any less part of the body. ■ ~ And if the ear would say'


“Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” tha t would hot make it any less a part of the body.


■ If the whole body were an - eye, where,would the hearing, be? I f the whole body were hearing, where would th e '


:-sense otsmell be? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body,-each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member where would the body be? ■ As i t is, there are many


members, yet one body. The- eye cannot say to the hand “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet “I have no need of you.” (1 Cor. 12:14-21)


each of us has a role to play or a gift to bring to the commu­ nity. We are all different but' all essential. We all have gifts to share. As the early Quaker Isaac Penington put it, we are like separate coals on a fire, which together create a great fire.' ': - v . One challenge can be iden­


We can see from this how


tifying our particular gifts or gifts and in our reserved cul­ ture of accepting and cele­ brating our gifts, of offering them freely and without fear of what others may make of us. We may be nervous that others think .we are putting ourselves forward or that we are saying we are'better than-


: them. We are very good in this country at keeping lights ■ . under bushels.


• The way through this diffi-


dence is to realise that the gifts we proclaim are not ours but are from God. We are not singing our own praises when we say we. are good at some­ thing and can help but rather sajdng we have been given the; ability to help from beyond ourselves. The light we hide under a bushel is not ours but ■


'keeping us accountable and..; helping us discern what God . wills of us.. . . .;


: What are! your spiritual.- gifts?


'


BEN DANDELION, Sawley Quakers


God’s placed in us. Put like that, it seems only right we should share God’s gift and not put it away. . Another challenge is know­ ing when a gift has had its ‘season’. Few of us are called to do one thing all our lives. We may have different gifts to use a t different times. We may move into parenthood and find we have gifts we did- n’t know we had, or mfl|^ jobs. What is crucial is we try to remain faithful to . our. gifts. ;Our communities ; help in this.way too, ideally .>

Thank God for America Thank God for America and for the


administration of George W. Bush! One full year into the credit crunch, it


has come up with an original idea which has the potential to resolve the world’s current financial problems. Mr Bush has vowed to get his plan through Congress, despite a setback when it was defeated by the house of Representatives on Monday. We all know what the problem is. The


banks, the insurance companies, the hedge funds and all the other great finan­ cial institutions on which the prosperity of the world depends, themselves depend ultimately on our willingness to invest . our £100 a month in their products and,


: in recent years, we have only been willing to invest with those companies which make profits quicker than all the rest. . So, in.order to satisfy our greed and


survive in the competitive marketplace, the financial institutions have been com­ pelled to make riskier and riskier invest­ ments. I t could not go on forever, but our


wretched governments lulled us into a false sense of security by telling us that they were regulating the institutions and that we were safe.


As I See I t ...... by Contrarian

Our poor, pathetic, delusional Mr


Brown even told us that he had abolished boom and bust. We should have known it was a madman’s lie, but we were beguiled by it. We have driven the financial institu­


tions to go one step too far, on our behalf, and they are now so laden down with duff investments that they can no longer perform the function for which they were really created; prudently and cautiously


•to facilitate honest enterprise. Mr Bush and his team have now come


forward with a sensible idea. All of us, collectively, as taxpayers, will relieve the institutions of the duff investments our greed forced on them and, by removing that burden, we will enable them again to do their real job for us. If they can persuade the congress, Mr

BROAD LANE, 'Whalley, was too nar­ row - at least for motor coaches and other heavy traffic; it was stated 50 years ago. • After winning the final of the Council


Prize Competition, at Clitheroe Golf Club, Mr C. McKenzie set the seal on a very successful weekend by holing in one at the 8th hole during a four ball match.


. . • Mr Richard Fort,MP for Clitheroe, threw a switch-at thq No. 2 borehole at gathering grounds on Grindleton Fell.


Bush and his magnificent Treasury Sec­ retary will do the necessary in America and it is now our task to force the idiot Brown and the twerp Darling to do the .same here. It will be a painful and expensive busi­


ness and we must make sure that it is not made more expensive by paying the spec­ ulators for their failures.


.. The most rash and unlucky will still lose their jobs, their homes, their busi­ nesses and the value of their sharehold­ ings. Some of the institutions will end up, temporarily, in our ownership, but the system will work again and we will be able to get on with the project of making the world a better and a richer place. The politicians will pretend that they


can stop the whole cycle happening again, by regulation. They cannot. All that regulation has done, so far, is


to persuade ordinary people that putting their £100 a month with spivs and snake oil salesmen is as safe as putting it with traditional, conservative institutions. Governments can help us solve our immediate problem. .We must not let them talk us into creating it again. e-maiL thecontrarian@hotmaiLco.uk

CHARITY cricket match in Clitheroe attracted more than 150 supporters and raised over £4,000.


Nick and Emma Hemingway and a team of helpers to benefit the charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young). Nick also had the backing of his employer, Bibby Distribution, which both entered a team for the match -r the “Bibby Baldies” - and contributed £1,500 to the fund­ raising total through its “Giving Something Back” community programme. Held at the at Ribblesdale Wanderers Cricket Club, the charity match proved to be a brilliant


day for all the friends, family and supporters who attended. On the day there was a bouncy castle and face painting to keep the children enter­ tained and a barbecue for everyone to enjoy. . Nick and Emma worked tirelessly to oiganise


the event, as it was for a cause close to their hearts. Emma lost her brother at only 36 in 2007 with a verdict of natural causes. CRY aims to research the death of young people, to under­ stand how they die without any known cause. Nick commented: “I really enjoyed organising


this event as the money raised will go to a very important cause. Thank you also to Bibby Line Group for their generous match funding.”
