and have not charily dove am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal Ho often our charity and love sermons arc listened to and understood but forgotten and seldom practised How often a spoken word or cheery smile to a sad and lonesome person are not uttered Minds ere too cluttered with other affairs of the church or community and so an opportunity o show love and concern ore missed Wc wonder sometimes If that is why In so many of our churches the pews are empty II all Is worth pondering on In our minds Danger on bikes We folk In Ballinafad arc very concerned these days We wonder if parents or small children who ride bikes up and down this Seventh Line realize the danger to them One day last week two of us here witnessed a tiny child fall off his bike across the road right In front of a car Thank goodness the car was travelling at a slow speed Then a tiny tot on a tri cycle crossed the road right in between cars Children Just love to ride on the pavement we know but oh how a tragedy can happen Up until now it has only been our pets who are hit but here in the village hold our breath for fear of a child meeting the same fate I m not just a crank about this different
