allow the Government to lock me up for six weeks, whenever it fancies, without giving me a reason or telling me what it thinks I have done wrong. The Government only got its way because of the votes of the Democratic Unionist Party, which has always opposed detention without charge. Mr Brown tells us that he offered the DUP no inducements at all to turn its long­ standing policy on.its head and he clearly thinks we are going to believe him.

" Different people'are asking : similar questions. Blackburn. Rovers fans want to know who is to take over from Mark. Hughes and there are. all kinds of rumours circulating among the supporters. Many want the perfect man who can do everything. W ith the retirement of


■ Philip and Stella Dearden, the folks a t St M ary’s in Clitheroe are asking who will


;be the new vicar and when v d l l th a tp e r s o n c om e . ;


Gabriel and he still awaits ordination! For others their children


will be soon-starting a new school or college and this means a new teacher. What will this person be like? He or she must be the very best to teach their children.-' We want a new manager at


Ewood who will both lead and guide and care. We want a


!vicar at St Mary’s who per­ haps in a slightly different


■way will lead and guide and care. Parents want a teacher' who will lead and guide and care for their young people. Everyone wants a person as near perfect as possible. ■ I am sorry .to disappoint


P -Will-the next- vicar be ■ ; young or old, with or without, 1 a family? And so on. . What.they really mean is '.they- want the Archangel;


:you, but no human being will ever be perfect.


- . But-1 know of one person who is perfect and never , changes. He is “the same yes­


terday, today and for ever” and His name is Jesus. The Rovers are out looking ■


for a manager, the patron is searching for a -vicar. . . I wonder if you are search­


.


ing for someone who will befriend you and lead and guide and care for you along life’s journey. The Someone; for whom you are searching is searching for you; that is why; God sent Him into the world the first Christmas time. Jesus said of Himself: ‘T came' to seek and save th a t which was lost”. Like the Father of the prodigal son Jesus comes to us as we turn to Him. All of us face the future


conscious that new things will happen whether we like them: or not; some good, some bad. How reassuring -that the Christian can face change' ■Avith the help of a Friend who


never changes and who is


• completely dependable. Those : who down the centuries have been seeking a manager, a friend, a guide, a teacher who keeps on loving us always would testify in the words of the old hymn writer: > I ’ve found a friend oh such a friend! • ■
