The program/meditation time at
the February meeting of the
Londesborough UCW on Feb. 15
also had a love theme. Laura Scott
began by reading verses from II
Corinthians 13, a well-known
passage about the qualities of love.
Following the teachings of Christ
and His disciples, people made the
remark that, "They must be
Christians. Look how they love one
another.
The later Christian teacher, Paul,
who was converted after a vision on
the road to Damascus, ended up in
jail for his teachings. While
imprisoned he wrote 21 letters to the
early Christian churches to
encourage them to follow God's
teachings and to stress that
they must continue to love one
another.
Those letters would have been
delivered by messenger. A more
modern day messenger, albeit
fictional, is Cupid. Laura related one
story which may have been the
origins of Valentine's Day. Saint
Valentine, it is recorded, restored the
sight of Julia, the daughter of
Claudius, his jailer. Seems some
time later St. Valentine sent a note to
Julia for her to enjoy because now
she could see it.
The ladies were asked then when
they last received a letter in the mail
and how it made them feel. The
answer, of course, was that it made
them feel special and loved. Harriett
Shillinglaw gave each of the women
a note card and suggested they send
a note to someone and in that way
send them love.
Harriett then told the group a
personal love story. Two young
ladies were introduced at church in
the early 1900s in Montreal. They
became best friends and remained so
all their lives. Lily and her husband
eventually had 10 children while
Mary and her husband had none of
their own. Eventually Lily's health
suffered and she felt it would be best
for her daughter, Violet, to be raised

by Mary and her husband. Violet
was given to Mary out of love and
Violet was raised with love. God's
love was shown through the
unselfish love of two mothers. Violet

Hullett school, SAC
preparing for auction
As we are still in the month of
February, the month of love, I have
chosen to give you background on
another love song.
One of the most recognized
ballads in country music was penned
by Dolly Parton nearly 35 years ago.
It was not intended as a single
recording but as a `thank you' to
Porter Wagoner.
Porter recognized Dolly's
potential when no one else seemed
to be taking notice of her talent. He
featured her on his syndicated TV
show, The Porter Wagoner Show.
Then the pair teamed up for several
hit duets and with Wagoner's help,
Dolly eventually emerged as a solo
country singer .
However in 1974, Dolly realized it
was time for her to go out on her
own. And the rest, as they say, is
history. She did not want to hurt
Wagoner by this choice and wanted
show him her appreciation for being
her mentor. That thank you
note/song she wrote for him was "I
Will Always Love You". The song
topped the charts for both Dolly and
later pop singer, Whitney Houston.
And I recall Dolly sang that song to
Burt Reynolds in the movie Best
Little Whore House in Texas. In that
case the song was intended as a love
song.
Hullett Central Public School and
the SAC committee are gearing up
for their auction and carnival fund
raiser. They invite anyone prepared
to help to a meeting at the school on
Monday, Feb. 29.
If your family has not yet signed
up for a photo session for the latest
church directory, you might contact
Laura Scott or Catherine Allen to
book a time.
Londesborough United will hold
their annual meeting following the
morning service this Sunday, Feb.
28. There will be a time for lunch
between the service and the meeting
so you are asked to bring along
finger food to share. Plan to attend
and help chart the course of church
affairs for 2016.
