She `gave four .reasons 'why' she
thought man is dead.
He doesn't respond'to•any stirri f
ulus.
'2. He doesn't respond to'other
human beings. When compassion
diminishes, we diminish.
3 No growth -takes place: As • long;
•as We are living, there is sorrt-e -
change, taking place. When.we
hear such statements as "God is
dead" we cling to our faith which,
has, been handed' down to us. We
lose faith, because -it isn't A liv- ,..
ing, grdwing'thing. We have to
venture : change and grow .
4 Organism - isn't going

'tribute. `Mrs Beecroft referred to
the song:. Mr Nowhere Man
written by John. Lennon and Paul
McCartney: of "the ''Beatles" ,, sayin€
that a good'• rna.ny''people are like"
that rnan going nowhere . We have
been'thru'st ahead so;'fast in,.our
modern day.; that. our souls have
been left. behind. • " 1
••Are we alive today? In summing,
up• Mrs: Beecroft said that men
and women are creative beings,, if
they trust in God ,What they bel-'
leve, makes there dead or alive.
We are instruments in the hands of.,.
God, but our beliefs can kill our
usefulness. We live as we believe
and when we believe in a living
God , we are•alive. She said that
we are living in an impersonal
world and to overcome this, we'
cangive ourselves to some.
