•Like many other. people, I.
sptmt a. good deal of .time
.the_ lympkgin
being televised from Mon-
.treal.'It was thrilling to watch
the young athletes pit their
prowess agaihst each 'other
and seethe victors come out
triumphant and exalted as
;- they were presented ' their
medals: •� . •
But what about. the loser?
What ,was:in it for them?- Did
they ga'hoine. despondent and-
disappointed, or was having
tried their hwidest'to wing
enough satisfaction to them"?
Could they' accept the
philosophy of an old poem
that says something like, "It
doesn't matter whether
jrou've�wonor lost but
whether .-,you played the
game!?"
It's a fact of. life, of course,
that it's nice to a -winner; it's.
also. a fact that only a small
percentage are . ' : ;and -that --
not just in the realm of sports.
I was interested and:

Buckingham says .he would: '
like to be able to say it all
worked out ,well, that God
turned"defeat into victory but
that just didn't happen. Gone
' were.. the family savings,
gone, too; was all that effort;
and energy with. seemingly
nothing to showfor it.
Now, -having been down the
same -road as Buckingham;
only not on such.a massive

really try hard enough? What
happened?
Buckingham says he's
come to the conclusion that
`trying' is just as. important to
God as 'achieving'. He cites
Peter's expe-,,ience.of walking
on the water `and. says,
'"Every° sermon .I've ever -

Life and death are seen as one great; unbroken experience of
the soul of man journeying toward his Creator. Baha'u'Ilah
teaches that thosewho have passed beyond the veil of'death.
can be aware of us and our doings inthis-world, and indeed,
