No one living can
remember those, days, but.
we do know that there have
been other years with little
snow in the winter, and
years with cool summers. As
someone has said, the only

meteorology has developed.

But we would like to know
about the future. Jesus was
about to ascend from His
disciples', immediate sight,
and He was asked what the
future held in store for them.
"Wilt thou again restore the
kingdom...?" Jesus replied
that the future is in God's.
hands, and that He would
send the Holy Spirit to help
them with the work they
must do in extending the
Kingdom of God themselves.
"Ye shall be my witnesses."
Actually, the disciples
were looking in two direc-
tions at once: backward into
their history when Israel had
a strong nation, and with
hope into the future that the
kingdom might be restored.
Jesus told them what to do
with their own lines, set as
they were in the midst of a
changing world.

prayer? I learned it first
from members of Alcoholics
Anonymous. It asks God to
grant us the serenityto act

change, to change the things
we can, and to give us the
wisdom to know the di-
ference.'It is a good prayer
for all of us.

Weather is the common
topic of conversation. And
particularly this winter: the
green. Christmas, mild
weather, late snows -. we
hear little else. Everyone is
attempting a long-range
weather forecast, the
predominant feeling being
that we are somehow going
to suffer for it later on.
Maybe so. Time will tell.
In 1875, after the Crimean
War,"there was a depression
with inflated prices and in-
terest rates, followed by a
year without a 11 summer.
Crops were washed out by
tremendous May rains, June
was a bit better, but a July
frost destroyed the second
planting. One theory is that
volcanic eruptions sent vast
quantities of particles into
the upper air forming a
blanket which inhibited the
