A gift of 1750 tonnes of wheat flour has left Australia for Ethiopia. The flour will be used as part of the feeding program being conducted by the Christian Churches in Ethiopia. It has been provided by the Australian Church agencies Australian Baptist World Aid and Relief Committee, Australian Lutheran World Service, Australian Council of Churches and Australian Catholic Relief -through funds provided by the Oz for Africa Appeal. The cost of purchase, freight and distribution of the flour will exceed $1.3 million. A spokesman for the agencies involved, Michael Whiteley, said that food would be needed in Ethiopia throughout 1986. "The rains over the past months have seen a marked improvement in the situation," Mr Whiteley said. "However, the effects of the drought have been so severe that it will take two or three seasons before Ethiopia can provide for its own food needs," he added. Mr Whiteley said the agencies concerned were all involved in longer term rehabilitation programs partitularly the through provision of secure water supplies and both seeds and fertilisers for re-establishing agriculture. "In the meantime," he said, "it is important that the world does not forget the immediate needs of the people. They have survived the

worst of the calamity but now

they need our continuing support to ensure that the improvement in their living conditions is maintained." The flour will be distributed by the Churches' Drought Action for Africa consortium

The Good Samaritan Sisters had shown themselves to be faithful and adaptable in answering his invitation to come to the archdiocese, Archbishop Foley said at New Norcia last Sunday. 'They are responding to the needs of the Church and of the world in which they live," the archbishop said during Mass in which he welcomed the Australian-founded congregation to New Norcia parish and Perth Archdiocese. Three Good Samaritans have taken over the administration of New Norcia Catholic Salvado College and a fourth is attached to the Catholic Education Office in Perth. A community of four Good Samaritan sisters has also been established in Mount Magnet. New Norcia Catholic nally kept the name of the College (formerly Sal- refuge but who later vado College) is a changed their title to Good Catholic secondary co- Samaritan because of the educational school other religious order known administered by the as the Good Shepherd.

"Each time they have moved, it has been in response to the call of a bishop to answer a need of a local church." In 1861 the sisters had been asked to take up education but they had also worked in orphanages and for the sick and handicapped.

Cardinal Myrolslar Lubachivskyj, primate of the Ukrainian Catholic Church is visiting Perth this weekend and will be saying Mass at St John the Baptist church Maylands this Sunday.

ADELAIDE: Orientation week in a seminary is exactly what it suggests. At St Francis Xavier Seminary, Adelaide, it begins on a Sunday night when students and staff gather around a barbecue. Monday is traditionally clean-up day, and student teams tackle everything from toilets to lawns. This year Tuesday was spent reviewing 1985, and discussing goals and development for the new year. Some tasks for 1986 were to examine again seminary liturgies, better communication between staff and students, community growth and improvement of student self support. Meanwhile nine first year students, including four "Westies", got to know the surroundings, each other, and their new spiritual director, former Kwinana parish priest, Father Maurice Sullivan CM. Perth archdiocese has three new students; Tony Vallis, 41, from Yokine parish, who has a background in accounting administration; Michael Donoghue, 26, originally from Sydney; and Simon

Henry, 19.

A spacious basement and small projection room are also available if needed for training of the big number of volunteers who will be marshalled to help.

Monsignor O'Reilly is pictured (above) sharing his enthusiasm with Mr Kevin Sullivan who investigated a number of possible city sites for the office. Mr Peter Saunders, (centre) will become the full time assistant director of the tour assisted by Kathy Atkins as secretary. Office furniture will start moving in this week, and phone numbers for the tour office will be announced as soon as they are installed.

Statement to ecumenical conference The Charismatic Renewal offered one of the few possibilities for Christian unity, an ecumenical conference was told in Perth last weekend. Franciscan priest, Father Max Mizzi told delegates "your theme, Rebuild My Church is a command from God for You today". It was the same com-

mand God gave to St Francis of Assisi. Father Max was brought to Perth by the Bethel Covenant Community to talk on the charisms and lifestyle of St Francis. Father Max said St Francis was a charismatic saint in the full sense of the word because he Overflowed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. "If he were here today, he would talk to you about the Holy Spirit and his love of Jesus," Father Max said.

mon ground to people of all denominations to hear the Word of God and understand the Will of God. "This is what you see in Assisi today," he said. "In Assisi all barriers come down and you don't know who is Catholic, Protestant, Lutheran or Pentecostal. "The Spirit of St Francis is so strong even nonChristians flock to Assisi and pray with Christians." Assisi was one of the greatest ecumenical centres of the world and in October this year, the pope would visit the city for a day of prayer for world peace. He has invited the world leaders of other denominations to join him "to beseech God". Father Max said the Lord called everybody to be

saints like St Francis because the world was broken. "It is not a time to be afraid," he said. "Open your hearts and spend time with God to know His ways and how He wants you to feed His people," he said.

□□□ "Pray in faith, trust and love like St Francis and realise there must be a turning point in your lives to follow God the way He wants you to follow Him." Father Max said it was important for people to realise prayer embraced their very beings. "Prayer is not a technique or a method," he said. " It is an experience with God based on faith.

NEW YORK (NC) The

Archdiocese of Oklahoma City has begun longrange planning for an expected shortage of priests. There are 86 active diocesan priests under age 70 in the archdiocese's central offices, special ministries and 72 parishes. More than half of those are 55 or older, so by the year 2000 only 42 of the 86 will still be under age 70. One extrapolation drawn up for the next 15 years assumes the archdiocese will ordain two new priests a year and lose one a year of those now under 55 through death or departure from ministry. By this projection, in the year 2000 the archdiocese should anticipate having only 57 priests under age 70 to do the work now done by 86. 0Only one new ordination is expected in the next two years, but if all theology students now studying for the archdiocese go on to the priesthood, the total of new priests in the next four years could be eight, meeting the two-a-year average cited in the projection. Father Franklin Wri-

gley, an Oklahoma City pastor and archdiocesan consultor and pastoral board member, said projections of fewer priests form only part of the picture.

How many people do you meet in a week, or a month? And how many of these really interest you? Yet the people you want to meet are close by, maybe passing you every day. So what you lack is information: which ones would be right, which ones would be equally interested in meeting you

ROME (NO) --Pope John Paul II voiced the Church's "profound ity with Lithuanian Catholics speaking of their "numerous difficulties" past and present.

A Vatican spokesman said the pope has expressed interest in visiting the Soviet republic, possibly sometime in 1987, the year in which Lithuania celebrates its conversion to Christianity. In a noon talk to several hundred people the pope praised Lithuanians as a people who have preserved their Christian tradition despite "numerous difficulties in its ancient and recent history.

Unity plea in Korea

The Baltic republic was forcibly absorbed by the Soviet Union in 1945. Despite decades of strong religious repression in the Soviet Union, an estimated 2.5 million of Lithuania's 3.2 million remain population Catholic. The pope spoke exactly one year after he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction at not being allowed to travel to Lithuania for the celebration of the 500th anniversary of St Casimir, patron of Lithuania But this year, the pope said Lithuanian bishops have begun preparing for an "even more significant" event -- the 600th anniversary of Lithuania's conversion to Christianity, to be celebrated in 1987. "With its conversion, popularly known as the 'Baptism of Lithuania', this noble nation took its place in the great family of European Christian populations," the pope said. Vatican Press spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said afterward while the pope stopped short of saying he wanted to attend the 1987 celebrations, he has "signalled another date" for a possible visit.

According to Vatican officials, in the past, Soviet leaders have refused to offer the necessary invitation needed for such a visit. During last year's trip to Africa, the pope met with several Lithuanian bishops in Nairobi, Kenya, NavarroValls said.

He said he did not know whether a possible visit to Lithuania was discussed. In his main prayer, the pope expressed his thanks to those who made his seven-nation African journey successful -- including "the presidents of the various countries, the bishops, the priests, the male and female Religious, and the good

African peoples." Earlier in the weekend, the pope told several thousand youths meeting in Rimini, Italy, man was incomplete without Christ. Neither human instinct nor physical and intellectual powers are enough to give meaning to people's lives, the pope said in a message sent to the meeting. "In man, as opposed to other animals, instinct does not have the right to have the last word," the pope said. "His impulses can and should be satisfied within precise limits, in a way that conforms to the dignity of the human person."

Alaskan Archbishop ANCHORAGE Alaska (NC) Archbishop Francis T.

In an article published in the Anchorage Daily News, the archbishop took issue with Mr Fal well's comments expressing satisfaction South Africa is making gradual improvements. Mr Falwell, a Baptist minister and founder of the politically conservative Moral Majority, met with South African President Pieter Botha and described South Africa as "a country making pro gress, that is a friend of the West".

CHICAGO (NC) - Franciscan Father Marne Breckensiek may soon be flying to Venice, Italy, on the wings of "a lark" That's how the pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Peoria described his winning entry in a contest to name a local restaurant chain's submarine sandwich The contest was sponsored by the LaGondola Spaghetti House restaurants after a US District Court informed owner Richard LaHood the chain could not refer to its 16-inch cold cuts sandwich as a "Gondola". Another area restaurant had already marketed a similar sandwich by that

name.

Father Breckensiek's entry was one of 8000, but the owner picked the name the priest had whispered to him after a weekday Mass --"LaTorpedo' "T told him (LaHood) a torpedo will sink a

gondola anytime," Father Breckensiek recalled. '1 laughed and he laughed, but a few days later he brought me an entry blank for the contest ..

"ht was purely a lark," Father Breckensiek added. But he sent it in because "sometimes we take life too seriously". Word of Father Breckensiek's good fortune has brought high humour to the parish. "Everybody thinks it's funny and I think it's funny, too," he said

But the contest's first prize is no joke a seven-day trip to Venice, home of the gondola boat. The priest was awaiting permission from his Franciscan superior to make the trip.

uick stop to 'cancer' the patient and handing over to the Soviet Union one more nation." "The Reverend Falwell's visit ended on a note of praise for Botha's policy of gradual reform," Archbishop Hurley said.

He said Mr Falwell expressed hopes In three to five years members of all

races in South Africa would be totally represented in the government. "Three to five years! How naive!" the archbishop said. Currently, the South African government includes a parliament with separate white, mixed race. and Asian chambers for members of those Faces, but denies parliamentary membership to the black majority of the nation.

The Alaskan archbishop no relation to Archbishop Denis Hurley

of Durban, South Africa --- also noted Mr Falwell's comparison of ending apartheid to curing cancer, without killing the patient. "The analogy is well chosen, but not for gradualism," Archbishop Hurley said. "Cancer is rotten at the core. It must be excised radically and quickly or the patient is lost. The Catholic bishops of South Africa as far back as 1957 labeled apartheid as 'something intrinsically evil,' that is, a cancer," he said.

"Apartheid is a cancer. It and its institutions must be dismantled, otherwise there will be no patient to save," he added. Under apartheid, he said, "blacks occupy only 13 per cent of the land," although they are 73 per cent of the population.

Bishops' support,.. BRISBANE: The Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference sent a message of solidarity to the bishops of the Philippines during last week's presidential crisis. Archbishop Rush of Brisbane, president of the Australian Bishops' Conference wrote to Cardinal Vidal, president of the Philippines conference and beside whom he sat during the December Extraordinary Synod in Rome. Archbishop Rush said: "I celebrated Mass on Wednesday (26th) in thanksgiving for God's protection of the people of the Philippines "I am certain I speak for all the Catholic bishops of this country when I assure you

that you, Cardinal Sin and the other bishops have been very much in our prayers during these last months. "Last Sunday I asked a large congregation in our Cathedral to pray particularly for the hishops of the Philippines and their people. "From the reports that reach us here there is every evidence that you and your fellow Bishops have had God's special protection and guidance in these difficult times and that your prayers that there should be no violence have been answered to an extraordinary extent.

John Paul's Indian

NEW DELHI: Pope John Paul's journey to India unfolded in a remarkably friendly climate. He told the country he had come as a pilgrim, and he was treated as one. Three very different Indian audiences were carefully following his pilgrimage. The pope had something to say to each of them. To India's government leaders, the pope offered the Church's collaboration in solving some of the world's most pressing problems, such as the big powers' nuclear confrontation. To the nation's non-Christians -97 percent of the population the pope emphasised what they have in common with Catholicism, including the right to propagate ther faiths. And to the strikingly diverse Catholic communities in India, the pope brought the encouragement and simple advice of a pastor, talking to them about prayer, Jesus Christ and Church unity. For them, it was a real celebration. Despite predictions of anti-papal demonstrations by Hindu extremists, very little of that materialised. Instead, the trip seemed to gather momentum with every stop -from the restrained reception in New Delhi to the enthusiastic,

"I am sure that the sobriety, tolerance and Christian charity that have been so much in evidence have won the admiration of the world. "Please accept the best wishes of your brother Bishops in Australia and their assurance that they and their people will continue to pray that God will guide and inspire you in this time of national renewal," he said.

ROME (NC) -When Pope John Paul I wanted to quote the late Mahatma Gandhi on birth control during his trip to India, he didn't have to turn to at index of Gandhi's collected works. Seventeen years ago, as Archbishop Karol Wojtyla of Cracow, he had used the quotation in an article on the 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae which he wrote. for L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper.

"May the Lord give you peace"

Drew on his • experience

Pope John Paul lays a wreath for Mahatma Gandhi at his memorial in New Delhi.

While preparing for the trip, the pope remembered the article and took another look at it, a Vatican spokesman said. He decided to use the same lines in his sermon on the family in Bombay, India. Pope John Paul has spoken of his longstanding respect for Gandhi. The pope quote Gandhi as saying "moral results can only be produced by moral restraints," and the suspension of procreation should be brought about "not by immoral and artificial checks... But by a life of discipline and self-control. The pope's interest in the Indian philosopher and independence leader goes back many years. The pope told India's President Zail Singh during a private meeting that his fascination with Gandhi went back to his youth, and that his visit the same day of Gandhi's funeral monument was the fulfillment of a lifelong desire. Speaking with reporters on the return flight from India, the pope elaborated on his interest in Gandhi, who was slain by a Hindu religious fanatic in 1948.

massive crowds on India's largely Catholic Kerala coast. In nearly every stop, from the northern cities full of sidewalk dwellers to the primitive tribal areas, the pope clearly placed the Church on the side of the poor. He condemned "attitudes and structures which have kept millions enslaved in poverty" and said the Church is committed to their "social liberation". He criticised India's illegal but widely practiced caste system. But the pope was careful not to appear to be criticising the government, which has worked to gradually improve the plight of 250 million Indians who live below the poverty line. In fact, he said India has a "living John Paul walking the grounds at the Indian presidential palace with Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, and his wife, Sonia. and dynamic" society trying to help the most needy.

Leaders who heard the pope in Madras applauded warmly at the end of his speech - he had read their constitution and spoken their language The single image of the pope praying at Mahatma Gandhi's funeral monument eloquently set the tone of religious dialogue. The pope Peppered his speeches with quotations from Hindu sacred books and writers. At the same time, the pope said he had come to "strengthen the Catholic identity" of the Church in India. For Pope John Paul, keeping dialogue open and keeping the faith must go together. Much of whatthe pope said in some 30 sermons and talks was not earth-shatterIng news - but it was what Indian Catholics wanted to hear from the head of their Church. He spoke of family life, the place of prayer and their local devotional practices. "The pope gave us a boost.

Paul Carroll: Quality Footwear

CALCUTTA, (NO) -- Pope John Paul II went into the heart of Calcutta's slums and prayed for the dead and dying in a charity house run byMother Teresa. In an emotional encounter, the pope greeted and touched 44 women and 42 men, many unable to rise from the mattresses on the floor of the two-room Nirmal Hriday The house also is called "The Antechamber to Heaven." Then he entered a tiny chapel to pray over the bodies of a woman, two men and a baby boy who had died that day. On a blackboard outside the chapel was written: "Feb 3, 1986: Entered 2, Discharged 0 Died 4. This we do for Jesus." More than 22,000 destitute people have died in the house since Mother Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity opened in 1952. Many literally were picked up off the streets in the city that exhibits some of the most wretched poverty in the word. l The pope walked slowly through the house, stopping to hand plates of sweet curd to each of the suffering.Many of them cried as they touched his hands, and one woman shouted in Bengali: "I am alone, I am alone come back again." The pope was visibly moved, a Vatican spokesman said. Outside the house, tens of thousands packed Calcutta's old quarter and gave Pope John Paul his most enthusiastic welcome since he arrived in India on February 1. The pope, who has mentioned poverty in many of his talks during the trip, saw block after block of slum dwellings as his motorcade wound into the city. People cheered as the "popemobile" passed their huts made of straw, bits of metal and concrete blocks In an unscheduled talk delivered in a blocked-off intersection outside Nirmal Hriday, the pope said the centre was a place of "anguish and pain, but also " a house built of courage and faith."

A constant reminder to some parents

husband to go easy on the children as they grope and struggle their way through child-

hood.

The inscription could just as easily apply to adults. Not only should we be patient with each other's shortcomings, but with our own as well. Too often, I suspect, we tend to see ourselves as essentially completed persons, like finished products at the end of the assembly line. After enduring the growing pains of childhood and suffering the traumas of adolescence, we arrive

at the other end: an adult. Recently, however, researchers in adult life development have helped us better appreciate the unfinished nature of adulthood. Adulthood is less a state of completion than an ongoing process of growth and maturation, of molding, rf you will Our God-given task in life, therefore, is not to maintain the wonderfully enlightened state we arrived at in our early 2Os, but to continue to grow and develop to the fullest extent possible. Furthermore, we are asked to grow not for our own sake alone but for the sake of others as well This is precisely what St Paul had in mind when, in writing to the Ephesians, he encouraged them to grow to the "full maturity of Christ the head" so that all members of the body could function property.

But how does continued growth come about? This is not an easy question since people are all different. Both our need for growth as well as our means of growing vary greatly. Still, some general observations are possible. First, Socrates' dictum, "Know thyself," remains crucial to the task. It is impossible to aid our own maturing process if we are ignorant of ourselves and especially of those areas in which we most need to improve. Thus there is a need to cultivate time for self-reflection. Throughout his active ministry, Jesus spent long hours in reflection and prayer in preparation for dealing effectively with the choices he faced. Second, we should set some goals for our growth. Generally, growth is not going to

happen unless we take active measures to achieve it. Today we have to recognise the important interrelationship between a person's ntellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions. These are like so many threads that must i

something else. Over the years, I have been fairly consistent in wanting to imnprove in prayer. But how to do that in the midst of a busy and demanding life has proven rather elusive. To help solve such problems, many people seek advice or guidance. lt is sometimes difficult for people or their own to adequately diagnose and treat areas of life that call for special attention. In the spiritual realm, involvement in renewal and faith-sharing groups as well as the use of spirtitual directors can be beneficial. Two other things about growth in adulthood should be noted « First, we ought not to frustrate ourselves by aiming too high. It is much better to set goals that are realistic and that can be achieved with moderate effort. There is nothing like the experience of success to motivate us onward to newer and more difficult goals. « Second, we ought to allow space in our lives for the unexpected, the unplanned. Sometimes growth comes in the most unforseen ways. Planning our lives too tightly may squeeze out the space needed for the unexpected.

After years of worrying about my children, struggling throught the turmoil and anguish of their teen years, and rejoicing with them on their successes, all of a sudden these young adults, flesh of my flesh, are

Growth of adults not obvious The greatest joy of parents is helping a son or daughter grow to adulthood. Parents record their children's development in photo albums or chart their height on a kitchen wall. It is a joyful experience. The continuing growth of an adult is not as obvious as that of children Change is occurring now. And it will occur in the future. Actually, people have two choices: to allow change to overtake them or to plan to meet the challenges of the future in creative, thoughtful ways.

Are there any patterns in the ongoing growth and development of adults? Common sense, as well as a growing body of research, suggest there may be some common, broad outlines

□□□

Still, adult development is a very idividual thing.

During the weeks of

lent, our writers focus on the ways adults grow and

change. This week we ask: When adults set goals for their continued growth as persons, as Christians, what are some of the goals they set? Adulthood isn't a finished state reached at age 21, says religious educator Neil Parent. But sometimes growth comes in the company of the

unexpected, he writes. Parent is the representa-

No one develops exactly as someone else or according to the same time frame. But there are certain major tasks that all adults face

A task in early adulthood is the strengthening of the sense of oneself as a separate, distinct individual. One leaves home, starts work, gets married, raises a family or purchases a house In one's 30s, personal values, including religious values, are usually very carefully assessed. This examina tion sometimes leads to what is called the mid-life crisis. A person can feel that the reality of life has out stripped one's hopes. Sometimes this leads persons to consider making some changes in job, career or

lifestyle

He attended various schools in Belfast and then Queen's University in that city from which he graduated in 1950 with a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering. After having worked in his birthplace in a consultancy as a civil engineer in water supply and sewerage, he went to Singapore for four years (195256) with the city council as a water engineer. For the six following years he was the state water engineer in Brunei (Borneo) where he met and married his wife loan (nee Pearse) whose father, Jim, was principal of a teachers' training college and taught the Sultan of Brunei the English language. Maurice and loan, who is now a member of the parish council at St Cecilia's in Floreat Park, have two daughters, Teresa (19) and Fiona (15). After post-graduate studies and gaining the required qualifications in public health engineering at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London, Maurice came to WA where his wife had grown up in 1963. The couple's two daughters were born here and he became a naturalised Australian shortly after having joined the Water Authority on his arrival. At the invitation of the World Health Organisation, he went to Nepal in 1971 for almost three years as project manager of a water supply and sewerage undertaking.

The patients have either single or double bedrooms, all of which look out onto space and garden. The dining and living areas are furnished with conversational type settees, (as opposed to cold single chairs in hospitals), beautiful wall prints, cabinets displaying books, china ornaments, and a shell display. They reflect a typical home environment In lieu of cold hospital vinyM titles, there are warm brown

There are rooms for visiting podiatrists, staff hairdressers (with no charge to patient) and a separate self-contained unit for country relatives and visitors who need accommodation.

Patients now enjoy an environment where there is space, flowers. shrubs, barbecue areas for an informal meal, billiard tables, stereogram and oh wonder of wondersa bar! Dr Hills explained people

Today, the recollection leaves him gasping. At Queen's University in his tertiary education, however, most of his sporting time was devoted to playing rugby. He graduated as a Bachelor of Science in Engineering. Fresh from the sequestered halls of academe and bearing his new professional qualifications like a badge, he and the other graduates sallied forth into the real world to set it to rights. Somehow, it didn't want to be set to rights. The traditions of lsombard Kingdom Brunel and other great professional predecessors he carried with him made little impression on the

The biggest stumbling block for adults in becoming involved with youth groups is their opinion of themselves. Adults often judge themselves too harshly and think they are inadequate to meet with young peopie. Other adults are just plain scared of young people. I'd guess even experienced teachers take a deep breath as they face a new class of students for the first time in a new year. Even after many years of experience with groups I believe every new meeting of people young or old -takes a mighty leap of faith. It's a leap into the unknown. I hear parents saying "There is nothing in our parish for young people" and the same parents (often with teenagers of their own) are slow to get involved with youth and help form a group. When youth groups fail too quickly or never get off the ground, I believe it is the fault of adults rather than youth. Every youth group needs the support and encouragement of trusting and patient adults. Young people do not really expect adults to be one of them. Adults should not try to act young and frivolous. Young people relate best to adults who don't play games but are themselves secure adults. I have found the best adult supporters are

those willing to give the best gift possible themselves. Adults willing to give themselves are hard to

find.

t's all a question of time

- a commodity that youth seem to have more of time. While l'm pleading for more adults to be involved, I thank those who have helped in the past and those who are still involved. At present all the movements except TYCS have diocesan chaplains. Most youth groups have at least the support of the parish priest. A small band of adults have actively supported youth projects with imvaluable voluntary labour on different committees for many years. One group often going unnoticed are the parents of full time workers. In most cases the parents also make a big contribution to the Diocesan Youth Apostolate, when the workers live at home. Full-timers make a sacrifice in accepting a reduced wage, and those who live at home share their sacrifice with generous parents. To all parents of present and past full-timers I say thank you for instilling a generous and serviceoriented attitude in the hearts of your children. f you're an adult thinking about youth involvement congratulations take the step and dive in the deep end!

The Record, March 6, 1986

Elijah was fleeing for his life. Queen Jezebel ordered the prophet to be captu red and put to death. The queen was angry with Elijah. She wanted the people of Israel to worship the gods of Canaan. She built altars and temples in honor of these gods. She tried to get everyone to pray at these altars. Elijah was a prophet of the true God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Elijah did all he could to keep the people from turning to the false gods of Canaan. He challenged the queen and her prophets. "there is only one true God," Elijah insisted.

□□□ So Queen Jezebel ordered Elijah to be killed. Elijah hid in the desert. He was afraid. He was discouraged. He seemed to have failed. People continued to worship the false gods of the queen. Elijah wondered if God really cared. He wondered if God was still with him. One day he sat in the shade of a tree and prayed for death. 'O

lord," Elijah cried, "let me die. Take my life." But he did not die. Elijah decided to go to the place where God first told the Hebrews how much he loved them. At Mount Horeb God made a bond, a covenant with the people he chose. On top of Mount Horeb Moses had talked with God. "Maybe there I will find strength to go on," Elijah thought. "Up on the mountain top I may find God, just as Moses did." So Elijah walked across the desert until he came to Mount Horeb. He remembered how Moses once led the Hebrews who had escaped from Egypt across the same sands. Elijah cimbed to the top of the mountain. He remembered how Moses found God there in the midst of lightning, earthquake and fire. Elijah rested in a cave near the mountain top. He heard God asking him in his heart, 'Why are you here, Elijah?" "I have been trying to keep people faithfu I to you, lord," Elijah prayed. "But your people keep turning from you to false

gods. They have tom down your altars. They do not keep your covenant with them. Now I alone am left. And the queen wants me killed." "Go outside and stand on the mountain," the lord told Elijah. "I will come to you." Elijah went out and stood on the mountain. There was a violent wind blowing. "It is like when Moses met God in the wind storm" Elijah thought to himself. But he did not feel God's presence in the wind.

ODO Suddenly there was an eathquake that shook the mountain. It was like the time Moses felt God's presence in the earthquake. But Elijah did not experience God's presence. Then fire seemed to shoot out of the mountain as in Moses' time. But Elijah did not find God in the fire. Then Elijah felt a gentle breeze and heard a soft whisper. It was the Lord, Elijah knew now the lord was with him. "Go back down the mountain," The Lord told Elijah. "Continue to speak out in my name. I will be with you." Elijah went down the mountain with new hope. He now trusted the lord would be with him no matter what might happen.

A tour of York worth

the effort Visitors to England should treat themselves to an autumn break in York -that wonderful city that King prompted George to say 'The history of York is the history of England." It is easily accessible by coach or British Rail, the attractions are all within walking distance of each other and open throughout the year. And many hotels and guest houses offer two night bargain breaks. York has many old buildings and you can see them by walking along the top of the ancient walls that surround them. Towering over the city is the 600 year old Minster built between 1220 and 1472 which is a joy to behold Its architectural grandeurs include a Chapter House, a Roman wall, an undercroft and an east facing stained glass window as big as a tennis court, depicting the beginning and end of creation. During a visit, you can stroll the along enchanting medieval streets that surround the Minster and, in earby Castlegate, call In to the York Story Museum. Here, in a series of delightful exhibits the life, history and development of the town from early times is clearly spelt out with particular reference to the Minster and other religious influences. Close-by is the famous Castle Museum, the largest folk museum in Britain where, apart from a huge collection of fascinating bygones, there's the Kirkgate cobbled street. long it are faithfully 'econstructed shops brimming with typical

items that were sold during the early 19th century - ostrich feathers, lavender, hat pins and beaded lampshades. There are also blacksmith, printing, candlemaking and clog shops and a replica of a condemned man's celll Don't miss no.35. The Shambles, once the home of St Margaret Clitherow, martyred in

1586.

She was condemned for harbouring priests, and was one of the 40 Martyrs canonised in 1970. The ground floor of the house as a most attractive chapel. Open most days, just push the door The National Railway Museum near the station houses a collection of engines. Fears rt could be boring are unfounded The story of the development of railways from 1829 to 1960 completely capture the imagination and is of interest to all ages and both sexes. One locomotive exhibited has 11 tons of metal removed from its right side to enable visitors to see how an engine works, and there's also a delightful display of royal carriages, including one used by Queen Victoria. The latest attraction in York is Jorvik Viking Centre in Coppergate. This is splendid place consisting of restored 10th century houses and workshops. One climbs aboard a small electronically guided car which heads along a Viking Street as it would have looked in 948 AD, teeming with families in their homes and sailors unloading from ships moored alongside a wharf. There are even faithfully reproduced smells that include the stench of loos, aromatic oils, pig sty odours, woodsmoke, beef stew and fresh apples!

Day by Day through

Lent by Paul Castley

MSC, published by Dove. $4.95.

During Lent, even the busiest of Christians likes to set time aside for thought and reflection. Fr Paul Castley is one such busy Christian. He has taken brief highlights from the liturgical readings for each day of Lent and given us his own reflections on their themes They make stimulating and fresh starting points for the reader's own reflections. A prayer at the end of each helps bring the reader's thoughts back to God. Day by Day through Lent is a call to conversion, repentance, joy and commitment; a call for a renewed and strengthened faith that must face up to the challenges of every day. Fr Paul Castley is a Sacred Heart Missionary. In his 24 years as a priest he has been involved in teaching, parish and seminary work He now devotes a large part of his time to clinical pastoral theology. He won the award for Best Devotional Article in the 1984 Catholic Press Association Awards.

There is no doubting the powerful impact made on today's music industry by the video cassette recorder. It has greatly increased the visual accessibility of musicians and has provided yet another field into which artists can extend their creativity. Christian music also makes use of this medium of communication. Those difficulties which existed in capturing the entire ministry of an artist on vinyl have been breached by the use of the video format. An expanding range of these videos are now available to Perth's public, giving us access to a wide cross-section of America's dynamic artists. Most of the videos avail-

able are of the in concert style, such as a live recording of Amy Grant's Age To Age tour and Sandy Patti Live. These films are the next best thing to being there and you are always guaranteed a good seat. Another set of videos available are recordings of a Christian music program on American television called More Than Music. Top recording artists combine their talents and love of God to produce a show that is, as the title suggests, more than music. Some of the artists featured include David Meece, Russ Taff, Amy Grant and comedy team Isaac Air Freight. If you want to find out more about a particular artist and their ministry,

B.I. Thomas' Nothing Could Be Better and Amy Grant's A Circle Of Love are films which take you behind the scenes into

the lives of the artists as well as providing musical

entertainment.

Choreographed exercise to contemporary Gospel music is available on the Believercise Video.

This is aerobics for the beginner or intermediate, with step by step instructions given to the

sounds of The Imperials, Leon Patillo, The Gaither Vocal Band and Amy Grant. f you wish to rent or purchase Christian music videos, they are available at The Gospel Film Ministry Ltd, 251 Adelaide Terrace.
