THE body of a man was found in the river Ribble just below Hacking Boat, near Hurst Green, on Gdbd Friday. The Burnley-bom man left home and asked his wife if he could borrow sixpence firpm her to pay for admission to the Rovers cup-tie. He said he would be home that night but was never seen again after the football match. His Wife could identify that the body of the man found in the river as her husband as she recognised what he was wearing and the possessions that he had with him. The Deputy officer dealing with the case directed that the only verdict for the jury to give was that the man drowned in the river, and there was no evidence of how he got there whatsoever.

THE decision to postpone the Pendle Forest and Graven Hunt point-to-point steeplechase at Sawley was made during a torrential downpour on the Saturday morning.

made predictions, people have made judgements and some have apparently ex­ perienced sightings. Maybe they are false, maybe it’s their imagination or maybe it’s the truth. The evidence that aliens do ex­ ist seems overwhelming. Abductions here and there, sightings are everywhere and there are lots of alien pictures scattered all over the internet. On bajance I think there is too much

A FAMILY sheepdog acted in true “Lassie” style, savingthelifeofher own­ er’s daughter Valerie (21). She was out working with Dunsop Bridge farmer Tom Robinson when she fell down a' 30ft gulley and into a stream on bleak • and windswept moorland, whilst trying to rescue a stranded sheep. The fall ren­ dered her unconscious and wet through, in danger o f hypothermia, but faithful pet Shap set out to find Tom, who was rounding up sheep on another section of moorland. He followed Shap back across the dangerous terrain and found Valerie trying to crawl up the banking. She was taken by ambulance to Blackburn Royal Infirmary, where her condition on Mon­ day was described as “satisfactory”.

I (and women) could so misunderstand and hate Him? But a fuller understanding of His teaching and a wider knowledge of the world have led me to the conclusion that there only could have been one end to a


, ministry like His - and that was the Cross. I He shocked and angered many of the re- ! ligious leaders of his time by calling them i “whited sepulchres”. That alone should ; have been enough! He talked about His ! Kingdom, but rebuked their determina- i tion to make Him King. He showed up i iniquity where it was least suspected; and

attacked the vices of the wealthy in the most powerful terms imaginable. He preached righteousness and justice,


pouring scorn on upon oppression and. hypocrisy, but when actual cases were brought before Him, He declined to inter­ fere or to pronounce judgement. He con­ demned wrong, but refused to take sides. His own followers seemed to understand Him little better than His enemies. He would destroy wrong, not by a direct


attack on the sin, but by saving the sin­ ner. That was His method. That is still His method. It has been said that Jesus turned the world upside down. Is it any wonder they crucified Efim!! There was another way in which He


turned the natural way of thinking upside dowri. To the world, things are eveiything. It longs for them, works for them, fights for them and even lies for therii. Its one ambition is to possess an abundance of things. To secure them, many of us will pay


any price, endure any hardship, and sacri­ fice any thing. Yet Jesus said: “a man’s life consists not in the abundance of the things he possesses” (Luke chl2 vl8). The Risen Christ declares that true life


does not depend upon things at all. Indeed the only way to into the resurrection life of Jesus is by our renunciation of things and our acceptance of His life-giving Spirit. Then, and only then, will we experience the new life, which He freely offers to all. Life is for being, not having. It is what a


man is, not what he has that rerilly matters. What we have will perish, what we are will abide forever. Seek not things. They per­ ish, they corrupt, and they decay and pass away. Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you (Mathch6v33). In Him only is the true life.
