It was heartening to see that our Minister of External Affairs, :10,- ; �T ; t y 2 Joe Clark, could be moved r .� F..'1'"� '�ta € might have been spared? One can only pray that this government will do everything in its power to ex- pedi to the assistance and not waste precious time by set- ting up more committees for furth study and discussion. tion in Ethiopia is one of those times when if too much time is spent on discussion, it will be too late. Last weekend, I attended a Faith at Work Conference with about 100 other people. almost to tears as he viewed the horrifying pictures of the victims.. It was, however, upsetting to learn that the world had been forewarned of the famine's onslaught as long ago as a year back, by such people as our then Minister of Agriculture, Eugene Whelen. The alarm was viewed as be- ing insubstantial or painted too black by some other of- ficials, and was thus ignored. Had it been taken seriously who can tell how many lives It seems to me... by Gwyn Whilsmith Mother 'Teresa once said, "When you are faced with countless lepers and poor peo- ple starving by the dozens ... there are no problems to 'discuss' because there just isn't time for that."

You couldr.'t help spotting him because he was always in the thick of things, participating with all stops out. When we sang, he clap- ped his hands loudly and beat time with his feet, glancing around with perplexity when the rest of us didn't get into the spirit. When we prayed. he lifted his arms, praising God wholeheartedly, but again, looking slightly askance at some who just sat there, showing no emotion. It was rather risky to smile at Rudy because it always prompted a huge bear hug, or maybe even a resounding kiss. He was without inhibi- tions, and he didn't care if you were 16 or 60, he loved you just the same. We had a marvellously talented pianist at the con- ference, one who thrilled us as his nimble fingers improvis- ed up and down the keyboard. However, when he had to leave early, the chairperson asked if someone could fill in. Rudy immediately jumped to his feet, assuring her he could 'read' music. Peering through heavy lenses, he earnestly concentrated on the music, his thick hands posi- tioned over the keys until he was given the nod to bang down the first chord. He did pretty well, too. Oh, his play- ing was a bit loud, and there were times the base notes didn't harmonize with the tre- ble, or instances when he got a half a line ahead of us or behind us, but the look on his face made up for everything. All weekend, he'd listened to others speak, sing and con- duct seminars, but now, it was his turn. When the song was finished, he turned to us, a radiant smile bursting over his face. He had shared his gift, with no strings attached ... just for the sheer joy of giv- ing it. When I got home, I went to Jean Vanier's hook, "Followers of Jesus", and turned to where he speaks of the importance of allowing the handicapped, with whom he works, to give. He says, "The important thing is not to stifle people's gifts, but to give them a chance to love and to enter the world of shar- ing. ft is terrible to always be on the receiving end. We must learn how to receive the slightest gift .with joy and thanks and wonderment, precisely because it is a gift of love. 'l'hus 'we' learn to give with love, with humility and without seeking credit. I'm happy to say that most people at the conference received Rudy's gift with love. We had listened to elo- quent speakers, sat through soul -stirring seminars, but it seems to me Itudy's gift was the best of all Uniforms, Maternity & Lingerie 411 Main St., Exeter 235-0914 vemmorukr Pitch -In and Keep Canada Beautiful Pre Christmas Sale .Ar:Ir &ile • Christmas Prints 30%Off reg. price minimum of 1 lengths) ►.e 01.I- •7.i 0 • Pre quilted Fabric ?ai 30% off R.R. 1 Mitchell Hwy. 83 '/, mile west of Russeldole 229-6429 reg. price (Minimum of 1 m. -, lengths) • SAVE .20 Home Oven 100% Whole Wheat or White 675 g. loaf BREAD .59 1 SAYE 2.50 Sanka Instant 8 oz. jar COFFEE 5.39 SAVE .49 Scheppes, 750 mI. bottle Buy 2, Get 1 Free GINGERALE .49 Purr, 14 oz. tin CAT FOOD SAYE 1.20 '475 g. box KELLOGG'S SPECIAL K 1 .99 SAVE 1.60 Powdered Detergent 6 L. box SUNLIGHT 3.59 SAYE .40 Moms, 100% veg. oil 4 Ib. tub SAVE .40 Upton chicken Noodle Pkg. of 2 mixes SOUP . 79 SAYE .40 Sunbrite Liquid 3.6 L. jug BLEACH . 99 SAVE 2.50 Mother Parkers Instant, Large 10 oz. jar New Mountain Grown MARGARINE COFFEE 3.59 .59 ASST.
