Photo by Eddie Adams AP Photo Points to gander Theres beauty in the night By DOROTHY KILHLRN It was about 430 am and the moon brilliant golden orb was setting over Georgian Ray As stood etching its beauty on my mind was glad that live in the country where could View the vast expanse of sky and bay seen through the black filigree of pine trees in the moonlight Most nights have an early morning wideawake time for me thoroughly enjoy them partly because can be alone with my thoughts partly because Georgian Bay can be breathtakingly beautiful on moonlight night So often there is beauty in the night There is beauty in the night time places of our lives those places we label sorrow trouble and heartache We will find that beauty if we will take the time to search for it Trouble can lead to the bean ty of talking to God about our problems Perhaps if we had not the problem we would not hay talked to God Thus we would have missed the beauty of His answer Trouble can lead to the beau ty of sympathy person who has lived through difficult situation can more readily offer sympathy to similar sufferer than one who has not Sym pathy is healing thing to the one who gives and the one who receives Trouble can drive us to the beauty of the Word of God caus ing us to search for the answer the guidance from God And if we are sincere we will find it Trouble can lead us to the beauty of finding Jesus hrist as our personal Friend to find Ilini to be the answer to our problems Let us seek to be like the Psalmist of old who said Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee in whose heart are the ways of them who passing through the valley of Hata troublei make it well Isalm 84136 Religion roundup Church offers history course OTTAWA Il The Roman atholic church in Ottawa is

True man says affected history is St Augustine hristian convert who lived from 334 to 430 It really is to Augustine that we have to go for the idea that history begins somewhere and goes somewhere as

Church After an uncomfortable swing toward an updated litany many Catholics are discovering that new form of worship is not half so enliven ing as fresh excitement among the worshippers The excitement now sweeping over parishes throughout the United States is not the result of papal encyclical but started with the laity And while some church fathers are looking askance there is indeed excite merit Says Father Ralph DiOrio of St Johns parish in Worcester Massachusetts and one of the leading figures in the mushrooming Catholic charismatic movement Ive seen cancer healed Ive seen people get up from wheelchairs and walk And Ive seen the blind receive their sight again All as result of praying and laying on hands as the Bible instructs Interestingly the Roman Catholic church has more tradi tions and extraBiblical beliefs than any other Christian denomination yet it remains one of the greatest critics of modern miracles Because of this duality DiOrios ministry which he describes as one of compassion rather than heal ing has some church fathers looking askance He talked about the rough spots and the miracles with Iat Robertson host of The 700 Club interna tional telecast DiOrio formerly priest in Chicago church dubbed AI Capones parish said had been priest for 21 years and used every trick in the book to bring the people to the Lord We gave food to the poor and clothing
