sores of hundreds of crippled beg gars The discordant bell of the Church of St labiiel mingles with the cries of women hoping for the saints blessing during the coming year The pungent smell of incense and candles clashes with rich aromas from thousand cook ing pots scattered around the hillsides This is the Festival of St iar briel at Kulubi in eastern IJth iopia ceremony which blends richness and poverty deep do votion and irreverent gaiety in to one of the most spectacular events of the hristian calen dar in Ethiopia The people who have walked for two lays from the city of Dire

sunsets By DOROTHY KllilllRN Look at the beauty of that sunset lady exclaimed to her husband You know she continued always feel close to God when see beautiful sunset or rainbow Sometime later tornado warning waas given in her town While the liglniing flash ed the thunder boomed the lady walked the floor wringing her hands in fear Then the lights went out and sheer panic gripped her You had better get hold of yourself her husband told her When you see beautiful sunset you feel so close to iod but when it storms you are ter rifled Is your faith in the iod of the sunsets or the God of the storms You know believe in one God she answered Then act likeit Iler husbands remark caus ed the woman to gain the vic tory over her fear by realizing that her God was God of the storms as well as the sunsets lod is in control of the storms lie is also in control of the trials that come into Christians life lod says in His word that all things work together for good to them that love God Romans 828 He did not say that all things were good but that all things worked together for good The Divine hemist can take the various circumstances of our lives and formulate them to bring bless ing into our lives Let us put our faith in the iod of the storms for as the poet of old so aptly wrote iod works in mysterious way Ilis wonders to perform Ile plants Ilis feet upon the deep and rides upon the

gift His gift is person God so loved that He gave us His only unique Son the Bible says Isnt it pity that many have respon led with Im sure Hes fine gift or The last thing needed was Saviour to take away sin or Im glad for the gift but not very in uch The fact is we all need Saviour because we cannot erase even one of the many sins weve committed We cannot earn forgiveness for one sin If we had every other thing in the world and lid not have the Saviour as our own personal Saviour we could never get to heaven or even go through life with purpose and confidence Iass up this gift this person
