It was this utter and ruthless abrmdonment of Himself to the oliedience of God's will which gave our Lord's physical death its profound spiritual efficacy, So far we have been thinking of our Lord's Epiphany from the objective point of view; but we should always bear in mind that His Epiphany is _not complete until Christ is •manifested' in each one of us, It is when we abandon ourselves to the will of God that God is revealed in us, '!HE NEW COil.llllUNIQN SERVICE Iri the introduction to the form or draft of the new Commun:'..on Service, we read that the Service is authorised for experimentpl use in the Church of England for a period not exceeding four years from the 7th July, 1967, P.Ild that the new form of Service cannot be introduced into my Church without the approval of the Parochial Church Council, At a meeting of the Dorney Church Council on Thursde.y, the 􀍼4th December, it was agreed to introduce the eervice on the second Sunday of each month at 8 a,m., beginning on Sunday, the 14th January, :;_968, and to retPin the use of the 1662 Order of Communion on the other Sundays of th e month, including􀓷 the􀓷 9, 45􀓷 a, m,􀓷 Family􀓷 Eucharist􀓷 After􀓷 a􀓷 trial􀓷 period􀓷 of􀓷 three􀓷 months,􀓷 thG􀓷 Ghur;h􀓷 Council􀓷 will􀓷 agRin􀓷 consider􀓷 the􀓷 matter,􀓷 Famil􀓂􀓷 Eu􀑍􀓨rist.􀓷 Sunday,􀓩_7th,i!.§!􀓝(First􀓷Sunda􀓃􀓷 .'.:'.􀓉,er􀓷 EpiJ?l!.anyh􀓷 9,45􀓷 a, m,􀓷 Server:􀓷 Ch􀑥istopher􀓷 Finch,􀓷 The􀓷 Epiphany􀓷 of􀓷 Our􀓷 Lord1 Saturday,􀓷 the􀓷 6th􀓷 January,􀓷 Al􀓷tar􀓷 Flower.§.!􀓷 7􀓷 a.m.􀓷 10􀓷 a,m.􀓷 January􀓷 7th:􀓷 14th:􀓷 21st:􀓷 28th:􀓷 .£!:􀓪mation􀓷 Service.􀓷 HHoollyy􀓷􀓷 CCoommmmununiioonn,,􀓷􀓷 WMirrss.,􀓷􀓷 RS􀑎l􀓷e􀓄:::rloroc.􀓷k,􀓷 MMrrss,,􀓷􀓷 LLoLulgyh,􀓷nan.􀓷 December􀓷 4􀓷th.􀓷 Eric􀓷 Clifford􀓷 Eoulton,􀓷 Aygeaedr􀓷s5,􀓷7􀓷 ;Q,QRNEY􀓷 CHURCH􀓷 ROSTERS􀓷 - JANUARY􀓷I 1968,􀓷 §.];!@􀀦 January􀓷 7th􀓷 9,45􀓷 a.m. Mr,􀓷 Liney,􀓷 6,30􀓷 p.m. Mr,􀓷 )ioche,􀓷 14th􀓷 8. 00􀓷 a.m. idr. l'epler,􀓷 11.00􀓷 a.m􀁞 Mr;􀓷 1.􀓷ilkinson.􀓷 6,30􀓷 p,m,􀓷 Mr,􀓷 l.oche,􀓷 / • January􀓷 21st􀓷 8,00􀓷 a.m.􀓷 Mr.􀓷 Roche,􀓷 11.00􀓷 a.m.􀓷 !Vir,􀓷 Lipscomb.􀓷 6.􀓷30􀓷 p.m.􀓷 Mr,􀓷 Eastgate.􀓷 28th􀓷 8.00􀓷 a.m.􀓷 Mr,􀓷 Liney.􀓷 11.00􀓷 a.m. ilir.􀓷 Allen,􀓷 6.􀓷30􀓷 p􀓷,m.􀓷 JYlr.􀓷 Pepler,􀓷 􀐕;g;R.TORY􀓷 COUNT􀐈􀓷 (8􀓷 p,m.􀓷 at􀓷 the􀓷 Vicarage)􀓷 January􀓷 9th􀓷16th􀓷 23rd􀓷 30th􀓷 CHURCH􀓷 CJ!EANING􀓷 January􀓷 6th􀓷13th􀓷 20th􀓷27th􀓷 l'IIr,􀓷 Cottam.􀓷 Mr.􀓷 Wilkinson.􀓷 Mr.􀓷 Lipscomb,􀓷 Mr.􀓷 Liney.􀓷 1'/lrs,􀓷 Williamson.􀓷 Mrs.􀓷 Robb,􀓷 􀐉lrs,􀓷 Loughnan,􀓷Elizabeth􀓷 Roche.􀓷 CHRI STIAN􀓷 STEWAR DSHIP􀓷 CAlVIPAIGN􀓷 -- ---- This􀓷 must􀓷 of􀓷 necessity􀓷 be􀓷 a􀓷 somewhat􀓷 􀓕scrappy􀓷 report,􀓷 since􀓷 I􀓷 am􀓷 writing􀓷 it􀓷 in􀓷 bed􀓷 in􀓷 a􀓷 Nursing􀓷 Home􀓷 and􀓷 there􀓷 has􀓷 been􀓷 no􀓷 opportunity􀓷 to􀓷 complete􀓷 the􀓷 com􀑙rehensive􀓷 report􀓷 I􀓷 normally􀓷 provide􀓷 􀓳or􀓷 􀓴 he􀓷 P, C,O,􀓷 This􀓷 will,􀓷 however,􀓷 be􀓷 done􀓷 in􀓷 time􀓷 for􀓷 the􀓷 next􀓷 P, C, C,􀓷 1'/leeting􀓷 and􀓷 me11nwhile􀓷 Mrs.􀓷 ,\mes􀓷 is􀓷 very􀓷 kindly􀓷 worki􀐺􀓷 out􀓷 the􀓷 results􀓷 of􀓷 the􀓷 new􀓷 Campaign􀓷 in􀓷 the􀓷 matter􀓷 of􀓷 finance,􀓷 which􀓷 I􀓷 hope􀓷 to􀓷 be􀓷 able􀓷 to􀓷 quote􀓷 in􀓷 the􀓷 next􀓷 issue􀓷 of􀓷 the􀓷 magazine,􀓷 This􀓷 year's􀓷 CampBign,􀓷 the􀓷 beginning􀓷 of􀓷 our􀓷 se􀒱enth􀓷 year,􀓷 was􀓷 􀒇mething􀓷 rather􀓷 special􀓷 inasmuch􀓷 as􀓷 it􀓷 began􀓷 another􀓷 cycle􀓷 of􀓷 time,􀓷 Prior􀓷 to􀓷 the􀓷 start􀓷 we􀓷 held􀓷 a􀓷 Church􀓷 For􀒧,􀓷 a􀓷 question􀓷 and􀓷 ans􀒷er􀓷 session􀓷 1,t􀓷 Dorney􀓷 School:􀓷 Mr.􀓷 Harland,􀓷 the􀓷 3te􀒸􀓊rdship􀓷 Advisor􀓷 of􀓷 the􀓷Diocese􀓷 of􀓷 Oxfo􀑬d,􀓷 came􀓷 down􀓷 on􀓷 four􀓷 occasions􀓷 􀒙o􀓷 address􀓷 us,􀓷 􀒚􀓵e􀓷 lEst􀓷 three􀓷 to􀓷 help􀓷 the􀓷 Visitors,􀓷 among􀓷 whom􀓷 􀒹e􀓷 were􀓷 delighted􀓷 to􀓷 welcome􀓷 three􀓷 new􀓷 members:􀓷 and􀓷 the􀓷 Parish􀓷 Supper,􀓷 haenl􀓷und􀓷 fionr􀓷 gtehtet􀓷 Vabillela􀓷 ogcec􀓷 eHasiloln􀓷 .o􀓷n􀓷 No􀒲ember􀓷 17th,􀓷 was􀓷 Not􀓷 only􀓷 did􀓷 Mrs.􀓷 Ames􀓷 and􀓷 her􀓷 team􀓷 of􀓷 ladies􀓷 efxocoed,l􀓷􀓷 bthuemt􀓷 osuerlv􀓷 egsu􀓷ewsitt􀓷 ho􀓷f􀓷thheo􀓷noarurr,a􀓷nMgrem.􀓷enAt,􀓷s􀓷Ja.􀓷nBd􀓷latkhee􀓷y,􀓷 Cloebahdaemr,􀓷􀓷oSfu􀓷 rtrheey􀓷 C,􀓷hmraidset􀓷iaa􀓷n􀓷sSpteeecwha􀓷r􀒺dhsihcihp􀓷􀓷 hCealmdp􀓷ahiigns􀓷􀓷 in􀓷 ianu􀓷dtiheen􀓷cvei􀓷 lslpaeglleb􀓷 ofunord􀓷 􀓷daaynsd􀓷􀓷 awfatse􀓷 bre􀒻􀑓irndgs􀓷 ,t􀓷aslukcehd􀓷􀓷 a8 bout􀓷 tchoomubgihntat􀓷 i􀐘iodn􀓷􀓷 owbavsi􀓷 oiuts􀓷 loyf􀓷􀓷 dpreae􀑒p􀓷tfiec.iat􀓷lh,􀓷.,􀓷clear-headed􀓷 To􀓷 the􀓷 team􀓷of􀓷 visitc􀑭s􀓷 - 􀏿􀑮,􀓷 Cottam,􀓷 1V1r.􀓷 Liney,􀓷 i\:Ir.􀓷 Wilkinson,􀓖􀓷 iir.􀓷 Pepler,􀓷 l\Jlr.􀓷 Lipscomb􀓷 and􀓷 lVir,􀓷 WisemP.n􀓷 - go􀓷 􀐗y􀓷 very􀓷 sincere􀓷 e􀒛nhtahnukssi􀓷 faostri􀓷 ctPhel􀓷lwya􀓷 ys􀓷htohuelyde􀓷 sroe􀓷dc􀓷 ah􀓷edERrunfutlliyn􀓷ga􀓷 tn􀐲d􀓷sk.􀓷 The􀓷 general􀓷 experie􀐳ce􀓷 of􀓷 us􀓷 all􀓷 wes,􀓷 I􀓷 think,􀓷 that􀓷 there􀓷 wes􀓷 0 heartening􀓷 responsE􀓷 from􀓷 many􀓷 newcomers 􀓷 to􀓷 the􀓷 Parish􀓷 both􀓷 in􀓷 􀑯Eadiness􀓷 to􀓷 pledge􀓷 financial􀓷 suJpor􀒜􀓷 2nd􀓷 to􀓷 give􀓷 time􀓷 and􀓷 t􀒟.lents.􀓷 -PARISH􀓷 COUNCIL􀓷MEETING􀓷 HELD􀓷 ON􀓷 •T HrEg1􀓷;-,5r:TH-􀓷-DECEM-BER,􀓷 A.4.􀓷 Improvements􀓷 Having􀓷 received􀓷 only􀓷 E.::t acknowledgement􀓷 to􀓷 R letter􀓷 sent􀓷 to􀓷 the􀓷 iilinistr􀓆􀓷 of􀓷 Transport,􀓷 express􀓍 ing􀓷 the􀓷 Council's􀓷 dissatiEfaction􀓷 in􀓷 the􀓷 delay􀓷 in􀓷 • • • ' impl em en ting the improvements to the A. 4.

EDITORIAL House Agents were wont to describe Dorney as. "a delightful rural area and yet only 25 minutes by fast train from Paddington". Of course we ·all know that Dorney is still a very pleasant spot, but due to the continual improvement of British Rail (Western) the distance to Paddington see ms to increase. Nevertheless most of us must be pleased that we were astute enough tq d􀌏cide .on Dorney or the Reach as the place where home. should be. A glance at the local map will show what an J>asis Do;rney is - a green oasis holding :Maidenhead, Slough and Windsor at arms' length. May we always have that arms' length in which to breathe. When we who spend our working lives in London eventually arrive back Rt Taplow Station each even-ing this space to breathe makes it all worth while. With;n our community there exists a very real community spirit. For a small parish there is a profusion of organisations, catering for the welfare and recreational pleasures of many. The hub of the village is the church of St. James where, as for centuries past, spiritual and moral guidance is1sought i,nd found. The Dorney Parish News records these activities ru1d teachings, both temporal i,nd spiritual and reflects the thoughts and opinions of the Vill􀋺e, .That it hns been published every month for so many years is 811 indicaticn of the interests in which we all share and proof of its place in Parish life, Long may it be a worthwhil􀈑 venture, lvly thanks to 􀉉r, Gibson and 􀉊r, Roch􀊪 for their good wishes 􀊫nd words of encouragement.

There is an incident described in St. Luke's Gospel which has proved to be􀋽tumbling block to very many of us. We read that our Lord, on arriving in the district of Gader8, ne8r Galilee, was met by 􀊶 schizophreniac whon he restored to sanity; but he did so by nppearing to show an utter disreg􀊷rd for the rights of priv1cte ownership. As a result of this act of mercy, A herd of 2,000 head of swine 'rushed over the edge into the lake and were drowned' (8. v. 22). 􀈡t see med to the onlookers th􀊸t our Lord had brought 􀊹bout this wanton act of destruction. The inhabitants then asked him to leave the district; 􀊺nd St. Luk􀒹 gives us the reason( 'for they vere in the grip of 􀊻 great fear' (v.37􀈶, Why were the townsfolk so airaid of Christ as to ask him to go nway from them? The answer is that they were afraid of what ho might do, if he were allowed to rem􀊼in in their vicinity, It wns obvious to them th􀊽t 􀈷esus vas 11 m􀒺m of gre11t comp11ssion; but whnt might thir· man not do in order to 2tt􀉬in some spiritual end ? From the view-point of the inhabitants our Lord was as much a menace to their business inte1ests as the demented man had been to their phys.ical icecurity. And of the risks, they preferred the 1£tter. The destruction of t;he herd of swine was incidental, and cannot be cited 􀊾s 􀊿n inst􀉏ce of the means justifying the end. 􀈢ut there is a spiri tu􀉭l truth underlying the t e2r of the townsfolk; there is no limit to the divine compassion, and there is nc knowing wh2.t Goel will do in fmy giv􀈕n circumstances. God' s lov􀈍 h􀋀s 􀋁 way of breaking through no m11tter how gre􀋂t the odds m􀋃y be, 􀈦n his sight material things are not comparable in v􀋍lue to that of the humnn soul. Christ said on one occasion, 1 􀊉fua t does 11 man gi:iin by winning the whole world 2t the cost of his true self? Wh􀋎t croi he give to buy that self back ? 1 (St. Mark 8. v. 36: St, Matthew 16. v. 37: N. E.B,) Our Lord came very near - perhaps too ne􀋏r - to the people of Gadara th􀋐t d􀋑y, 􀋒nd they turned him away out of fepr from motives o.f self-interest. 􀈧t is spiritually true that once Christ is allowed to take over our lives, there is no knowing wh􀋓t will h􀋔ppen, He wi ll surely revolutionise thinking and teach us to regnrd lightly m􀋕ny things that are now precious to us. Certainly his great compassion for others will make tremendous demands upon us, It is no wonder that the world should be afrnid of what he might do. -------------- Fronily Eucharist.

Once again I have to apologise for P delPb in the production of the report on the 1968 Campaign, Those readers who do not know it will, I am sure, be very sorry to learn that Colonel Palmer w2s moved into ilindsor Ho spi tnl in midJanuary and naturally cannot be worried with Church finances. Details of the results of the Camp2ign are therefore unavoidably held over till next month; by the time this month's issue appears we hope Colonel Palmer will be back in his own home and that he will thereafter make a speedy recovery.

O Do:nrwll for an 􀈫rish 􀉡Gwspaper that its current popularity can be tr􀋴ced.back to Joe Sherido.n, a chef nt Shannon Airport in the late 1930 1 s.

Fron Shannon·the vogue spread to San Fransisco, New York and fin􀋵lly back to the U,K. with the post-wnr booo in 􀇿erican tourists. Asking for Irish Coffee in restaurants is always e. bit of 􀋶 gnr:i.ble, I have had atrocious offerings in plush 􀊕est 􀈔d Hotels at a cost of ll/6d, and good 􀈬rish 􀈂offc,e at inns ne.'3.r 􀈁iroinghan for 5/6d.

WAYFA􀉴E􀉵. THE 􀊑E.A􀉾l OF DEC􀈓􀈭􀈎. 􀊤 D􀒽c􀒾ber􀊥 was notable :f􀈹r unusually early snow, coinciding with 􀋈 severe cold spell in the second week. The tenperature fell to 190F on the 8th, and did. not rise even to freezh1g point on thnt or the following day, There were :falls of over an inch of snow on both days. This does not necessarily ueroi that we are in for n hard winter. During the first .fortnight of Deceuber we had a very large high pressure systen in i,1id-Atlantic, and a low over 􀈈urope; precisely the reverse of the conditions which are lirible to produce a prolonged cold spell in December and February. 􀊒inds run clockwise a1·ound an anticyclone and as this one ext􀈖nded towards Greenland, the resulting 􀋉ir flow c'll:1t fron Polar waters nnd w􀋊s both cold and moist. It was nearly Christ:ins before these conditions broke up, and the barone ter dropi; ed, and the tenper 􀋋ture rose; indeed it reached 560F on the 23rd. There was one really wet d2y • 73 inches of rriin on the 19th; but the total for the uonth was only 2,24 inches, about averege. 􀉺he winter uonths can be awfully dull and drab, but with 13 days on which the sun shone for nore than half the tir.1e, 􀋌nd n.􀈺 .fogs, l􀈻ecenber could be forgiven its early snow. There were no gales, but appropriately enough, a f.-.ir bit c f wind on Christnas Day.

On the question of heart tr􀯹nsplant operations, the tepo felt thQt a careful Code of Conduct was needed before furthor operntions were c2rried out, 􀯺lso th2t the vRst aoount of noney spent on the operRtions would benefit raore people if used in other fields of :-rndicine. They also felt that there wes a dnnger of the oper􀯻tion beco.oing the equivalent of nn "Arns hace" between the Great .1)owers. Breath􀯼lyser tests were considered to be an infringe􀯽cnt of pcrsonAl liberty, but nevertheless a necessery evil.

In Isfahnn itself the mosque s are a droo of breath-tnking beauty, unl ike nnything I hav e ever seen. To-day I went all round the daidrm-E-Shah , which is n vnst squo. re in the centre of the town ac ting as a oarket place, Jo.thGdral square, polo ground and a place of assLnbly, The bazaar is in the North, · the palace quarter (Byron describes it ns a boot-box!) in the West, ln the South the royal nosque and in the East the exquisite Lutfallah aosque, whore the whol0 doue is covered in a fawncoloured wash and a branching rcse-tree inl2id in bluck o.nd white spreads ov0r it, Inside, a shallow doue sur.::1ounts a ring of sixtoer windows and this done is inset with a network oi lcnon-shaped coupartnonts which increase in rize as they descond fro,.1 a forn:-tlisod peacock at the apex. The archos 2re frar.:ed in turquoise c orkscrews and the uinaret is cnrn:::iellod with tiny flowers on deep blue .:10adow. I foul qui to c,nchantcd "Ii th everything and th8re: arc still a thousand )laces I have not seen. Each day I visit a uosquo er pulnce in a leisurely fashion that no other tourist cafl afford, On Sundny I went with a C .􀯖;1.S. purty clinbing nountains like those of the Iwd Sea and enjoyed nyself greatly. l,s for Shir2z, I toolc the 'bus at 2.30 p.::.1. and arrived at 10.30 so it was a long journey and very tiring. However, I h3d a nice .t'orsian wo:mn next to ue, who kept feeding ue 􀯗ith delicious pears and orffi1.Ses.

It was built by Darius 1 in 518 B.C. as a snored national shrine to serve as a setting for the Spring festival 11 1' nu Ruz" and exhibits unbelievable n2gnitude, power and wealth. The details of the sculpture are incredible. ]!'or exanple, the axles of the chariot wheels are forued of a ;,1inute nan, perfectly executed, and every leaf of the cypress trees and curl of the nens• beards are represented, Lnter I went to the to:.1b of Hafiz, the great poet, It is set in a gnrdcm of ornnge trees and cypress ['!nd covered by a turquoise doue, I spent a while deciphering the inscription engraved on the tonb and then wandered round the university. In the evening a friend drove ue ten nilos out of town to see the to;:1b of the po et Sn 1 ndi, nuch of whose work I au rending. 'Jc arrived there just at sunset, so that the colourful oonuJent of_blue tiles and red narble, suruounted by a turquoise done, was perfected by the rich colours of an eastern sunset. Next naming I visited several beautiful nosques and wandered auong the carpet sellers in the covered bo.zaar. Twice I had to put on a "cheddah" - the cover-all that ..?ersian wouen weRr in order to be o.llowed into the 1:10sques, and you would have laughed to sec ue gazing out at the world through the one eye I was perui tted to leave uncovered. I felt like a houri coLie down to earth. Shiraz is a very clean and beautiful town, fano'>s for its gardens ( 21 though not uany of the old gardens rennin) and surrounded by hills, which are covered with flowers in Spring. One enters the town through an archway in P. gap of the hills, so that it suddenly P.Jpears stretched out before one at the top of the pass. I spent a last glorious hour ID:der the pines in the_ faoous Ev2.n garden, which belongs to the university, reading sa•adi and feeling like Gertrude Bell, who writes of lying in a hau,:iock in a Persian garden with a vol uue of Hafiz."

EDITORIAL_ By the time this magazine is delivered we shall have had the Budget and we shall all know ithe· worst. To some of us - perhaps most of us - the world of high finance is an undisclosed mystery but we all feel the results of trouble 'up there'. The present rush on go"Ia:Ts one of these mysteries but it makes us all think how little paper money can be worth. We reckon up how much we have in reRl, solid, worthwhile things and wonder whether we ought to build bigger barns while the going is good. In the midst of all this disorder we are asked to 'Back Britain'. One national daily has recently published a series of erticles preising the great characteristics of Britain. These indeed are very many else the problem would be emigr2tion rather than the reverse. Nevertheless we ·do· rather'bury our- heads in the sand if we· just shout ?.bout our greatness and ignore the problems. It is much more exciting to face up to the difficulties and see if we can do anything about them. Nothing ? Surely the least we can do is to seek to back any Government which tries to overcome trouble and to defend it in argument. Perhaps there is even harder Action for us to consider. That is, that we should not go on seeking to rRise our stendard of living but to beAr some loss in this respect for the SRke of supporting our country's standing in the world. We have R right to criticise the way things P.re being done but in BritP.in we .ere so accustomed to this freedom of speech that we fail to suggest alternatives. But the Editor seems to be striking a serious .-note and it is his function to be drole 􀬕 Perhaps he me.y be forgiven his attempts to prepare himself for probable t2x increases.

The phrase 1God is Dead' is intended to present a challenge to traditional theism, It neans that the traditional orthodox projection of God as dwelling.out there, above and beyond this world in another realm, existing in his own right, over PgPinst his cre2tion is no longer tenable. The conception inplies that God is just 'cllother being and not being-itself. Further, the projection also seems to suggest that God is not in our world at all, that he is found on the edges of our world, and that, when we pray, we 2re really asking him to step in and help solve our probleus, And then Fill this talking and writing ,obout the •existence' of God means monthing, If the word 1God1 stands for uwlhteitmhaetre reality, it seems foolish to P.rgue ·ultim11te re2lity •exists• and to spepk of ultimate reality as •existing '. implAie s•,s trdaoensg enr'o tr e'baelliotnyg, ',s uacnh.d ais s tihrirse lpervoajenctt tioon modern mm, Today nodern L!Rn. can get along very well i.nd.u8d wi t:::out 1cmc:h a God, and sees no need f OY. ._: , _L_1.,,.! .. r,1 .nt ,,., .L, ·.'..:..VJ..l :::'.,, • l1· J, _, :_.' _i_ _l _ l,;vO h.l S 1,,o,.,. ..,..-1 l• 1 y , 1l • f' e. rn'.L O modern . .:::u-· . .:1 􀀛 God iu 􀀜0:1cl 1 • ltD1l f;J:r tt:d.2 ·"iJ"i._·:1·y reason he has no tine or place i'or tY .. c U'..1urch i.n his life.

The theological situetion in which. Christians find theuselves today is admir ably' represented by the reply of LaplEce to N2poleo.1. Vhen asked by Napoleon where God fitted into his syst􀬝il, the uathenatician replied: 1 Sir, I have no need of that hypothesis.' This in s=ary is the probl()j;j that confronts the Church in itlission today. How can the Church m.ake God coue •alive I to c1en everywhere ? Our projection of G- 0d nust be such as will he lp men to realis·e that the world is I involved I in God, and that he is at what St. John of the Crorm calls 1 the deep centre' of things. God is involved in oen just as m.en are involved in God. St. Paul puts it in these words: 1 To Hir:i we live and uove, in Hin we exist• (Acts 17 v. 28). £1an cannot escar;e from God anyuore thrm w:m cmi escape fron hiuself. God is 'involved' in everything that happens within the life of rae.n; he is involved in ,:Km' s joys, pleasures, sufferings, in his wars, f?Dines, earthc; ..iakes, droughts And even in his sins and the evil in 􀬞he world. This is the kind of pre ;3ection th􀬟•i; u􀬠y be relev2n 􀬡 today. But to say that God is 'involved' or is 1 inllanent 1 in creation does not nean that God shou ld be identified with all that exists; he must be thou ght of as I transcendence within iLID.Rnence. 1 L:Jnancnce is really the involmi.10nt of love; but love is also •transcendent• becausf love in Lmanence is indefe2sible.

Another i tern which drew nuch discussion was the question of controlling dogs in Dorney. It was decided that the Clerk of the Council should write to the R.D.C, tb enquire whether an order could be uade to control dogs without the use of leads. If the answer to this request is negative, it was egreed to ask the R .D.C', to oake Pn order to control dogs with the use of leads. This order will apply to Dorney Reach only. The subject of uain c rainage was reised and the hfoeting agreed• that t :i.e Parish Council should again · bring the oatter tc the ettention of the R.D ,C. and ask if ::iain dr ,inag e in Dorney could be given sooe priority, The Clc:rk reported on the proposed A.4, ioproveJJ.ents and the Tuiec;ting disapproved of the decision of the Ministry of Transport not to install trRffic lights at liiarsh Lane.

ClJ\IIPAIGN 1 196.§.:. ll.fter a successful caopaign, surely sackcloth and ashes are unsuitable garb for the Director ? But that is what I = wearing, for being so late with this Report, The delay is due to the successive illnesses of both Churchwardens and • the need to present the Report to the P . c . c . last nonth before it appeP.red in print in the Jlllag Pzine. Anyway, here it is Pnd it gives c2use for sober s2tisfaction though not for conplacency. Our target h􀭄d been £2, 000. to allow for £1, 300. annu2l working budget, £500. for repairs to the church Pnd £200. to charities. This conpared with Pn actur,l figure of £1, 500 , last year. In fact to d2te we have reason to hope for R totel inco0.e of sone £1, 675. during 1968, nade up of 31 pledges, including 10 fron nowconers to the Parish, 14 oovenents end their consequent tRx rebates, 8 donP.tions ?nd 8 FreeWill Offerings, though the latter's fin2l ac1ount cPn, of course, only be conjectured. _ Costs of running this year' s C=paign were a nere £44. coupared with £250. a few years Pgo and of the £44. the highly successful Parish Supper accounted for £26 , We shall, therefore, not be able to do Pll wbuet hwade hshopaiedl bteo . daobl ew ittho odour a tgarrgeeatt odfe R£l.2 , 000. The first and inescapable expense is to conplete the gravoyRrd extension and the second, to 􀭅o the rep11irs to cr•wks and so on in the fabric. We have to oeet 2 sonewhat increpsed Diocespn Quota and we w11nt to naintain our giving to ch2ri ties ; in 2ddition we Are undertPking to give £200. each yepr for the next two ye2rs towards the £1, 000, which was our originRl t"rgot towPrds the New Village Hall when we stRrted the cmp,,_ign seven yePrs ago. If there is R conclusion to be drawn fro□ this year's Canp2ign it is th2t the newconers to the 2arish h2ve oPde a he2rtening response to our ap peals, in keeping with the feithful support which we have received 􀔬ear after year froD the old:er ho.nds in th e i'arj sh. Nor is this only in untters of finnnce; tin e and tal ents have been widely given, as is deuonE trated by newconers to the church cleening roster, Eidesnen 1 s roster and to such things ns transporting the disabl ed and visiting the less fortunat e of our fellowparishionors. • Hy po.rticular thanks go to l'Lrs.

The dykes fill because by this tine of year the ground is cold and saturated fron previous rains, so that precinitation drains off into the ditches and rivers, instead of being absorbed or evaporated as it 1.e during the warner uonths. It was a chilly nonth, with P naxinun of 470F on the lst., and n nininun of 22<>F on the 4th. 1'/Iost days reached n naxir1w1 of atout 400F, although there was a nore frigid spell fron the "20th • to the 25th., when the naxirr.un never beat 3soF, and the latter half of the nonth was usually frosty at night. T:tis was due to an elongated anti-cyclone with its najor axis lying Enst-1/cst, near Scotland, sc that the winds circulating- round it cane fl in Scandinavia, and over the North Sea.

Visits to ""1Eiiiie""l>iirks and heserves. • ----=-=-=..,;.-=- One of the delig hts o.f living in this lovely country of Kenya is the visiting of the unrivalled wildlife sanctuaries. We have one of these on our door step. In fifteen minutes we can drive out and be among our neighbours, the nnimals, in the Nairobi National 2ark. Sometimes they even st3:ay into the gardens round about, and one never knows what one is going to meet round the corner. The wild animals in these parks to not associate cars with the hum:m beings inside them and so one can sit within fifteen feet o.f a pride of hungry lions or a lioness playing with her cubs and film or talce photos of them to one• s heart's delight. We have been mp.ny times to the Nairobi ?ark and se en all sorts of game - herds of different species of gazelle, impala, eland, waterbuck, many lion, a .few chee tah, cohorts o.f zebra, 􀢇 jraffe, wildebeest (the .famous gnu of the song), hartebeest, baboons, monkeys, warthog and their adorable young, mincing os trich, looking like ballet- dancers , silverbacked jackal, hyena, hippopotamus, and even a crocodile in the pool at the far end of the park. There is too, an abundance Jf colourful bird life and even the stP.rlings have brightlycoloured pluma􀢈e very difference to the drab species we are accusto􀢉ed to in Europe, In the Nairobit Park there are no elephants, but we saw herds of them in the Tsavo Park, which covers an 8, 000 mile stretch of rugged AfricA and is said to be one of the greatest remaining wild animal strongholds of the world.

After waiting patiently in vain for a couple of hours after dusk we went indoors to have dinner and had just finished soup when we were told that they had arrived. Qu ietly we stole back to the balcony and there on top of the tree, not twenty feet away, was a charming little leopard cub busily licking the gazelle meat that had been put out Rs a bait. The mother must have heard us coming because she ran away, but later sh e, too, ce.me back and climbed the tree, so we had an excel lent view of her having her supper. Father Leopard and the male cub unf ortunately did not put in an appearance that night, but we did see some giexit forest hog, en animal we had not seen elsewhere.

It WEs followed by a series of depressions on the sine track, with a fairly low baroneter fror:i the 15th to the 25th. This brought unsettled weather with winds which were particularly,h:i.gh on the 17th, 18th and 19th. There were rut:ibles of thunder End heavy showers on the 15th and 21st.

In the Greek N,T, the word for •spirit', derived from the verb I to blow' or I to breathe' may be tranaated I air', •wind' and 'breath'. These words help us to understand something of the nature of the work of the Holy Sp irit in ourselves, in the Church and in the world, The firs"IJ'word 1 wind1 is fo\Uld in the asoount of the day of ?entecost (Acts 2. v l - 11). St, Luke writes: 'while the -day of .i?entecost was running its course they were all together in one plac.e, when suddenly there CA!lle from the sky a noise like th8.t of a strong driving wind, which filled the whole house where they were sitting' (v, 1 & 2), This reference to 1 2 strong driving wind' reminds us of the wind of God that came from the four quarters of the earth in Ezekiel's vision, and breathed up on the dead bones that they might live (Ezekiel 37) 􀃭 The vision is the answer to the.question. How can-Israel be mRde to enjoy her restored posses sions ? • Ezekiel _describe. s a resurrection, and tells how Israel comes forth from her grave in the Exile to become one kingdom instead of two. The •wind' is the symbol of vitality and invigoration, end just as air is essentinl to the_ life of the body,· so is God's divine breath ess ential to the life of the nfltion of Israel, 1\nd this, of course, is true of the Christian Church. Second in the N.T. the 'breath' is regarded as the symbol of the personality of Christ. Since breath is so necessary to man's physical life, it has become the symbol of the essentiRl man or his p􀃮rsonelity, This is the idea underlying Genesis 2, v. 7 •and the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nsoosutlr i(l as pethres on2blrie tatyh) . or f ,l\giff\ie;n wanhden maonu rb eLcoamrde a living bsroeraaetthhiendg o mn ohries thdiasnc ijpulsets ,a.

M. A. DTohrne Eedyi ?taorriss, h News. Dear Sirs, 11 Syringa" , Harcourt Road, Dorney Reach. Much has been made, with sone justification, of the unusual pleasure to be d􀛱rived from living in a country district such as Dorney; but I am disturbed by the way in which indiscriminate hormone sprays are destroying the amen ities . When I first came to Dorney about ten years ago, I was delighted to find cornflowers, corn 3arig olds and poppies all growing in our cornfields . :aealisin g that they were already then threatened by the sprays, I asked if a small strip on either side of the path by which they erew could be ·s pared . lliy plea was unanswered, and the cornflowers have gone. · I was not al together 3urp:rised, as I realised that only an ar,ient conE ervationist would accept the inconvenienc e that con pliance would have imposed, and in the ul tiraate I had to accept that crops must come before wild flowers . But I do suggest that there should be some limit to the destruction that farm.ers are allowed to wrE:ek upon the countryside. Last year the path from Clil:lo' s Corner to the River was a hideous blasted wreck; all the undergrowth on both sides being completely burnt . This year as I write it is. so far unsullied, but the footpaths runnin g towards Dorney I.each from Lake End and its spur connecting with :Lent • s Corner have been ravaged . I believe that the reason given for this despoil Ation is that a􀛲 well as needing to kill the weeds in the corn .,. whicb I accept as valid • • • it is necessary to stop other plants from seeding near the cornfields, This I cannot accept, for surely if the cornfields are sprayed Pnd later ploughed, there can be little effective intrusion. nUJ:1bIenrs afllo rs hucohu siesss uore sh, owrhseetsh oern twhe ea troew dinigsc upastshin, g tvehnetriel mautset tbhee np, roMs y ancod nctoenntsi, onan di si tth aits wase wP.relel patyo ing aex htirgemh elpyr imcaer ignin lalo,s s anofd bineadueteyd adnebd aatneaenblite yi1 ncfrorea asne in productivity, who lThiev eb aontt lthe e bleatwnde enha sc oonfs ercovuartisoen bisetens ganodi ngt hoons e af ocro ma,p.lounongd otfin geo, odan ds enthsee uanldt i􀛯extpeed isenolcuyt iobunt iosf tnenom ally nwoats ab elfoornge at igw.ree abte fdoreae lf oaf= dearnsa gane d hnasan bufeaenct duorneres.

In issues of this nature where danage is being done to :);he. countryside it really is up to those who oontrol such e.gencies to prove that the damage is necessary and really worth the return. I know the Parish Council have taken this matter up, as I have asked then to .io so, but their powers are limited. I ar1 using this Magazine as my forum as others nay wish to enter the lists. i'erhaps I have over­ stated fi1Y case, and there LJ.ay be cleP.r n.nd valid reasons for the actions which I deplore, in which case it would be as well for then to be known. In short, I believe that the sprPying ia excessive, and that it is dame.ging our aoeni ties unnecessarily. Let us try to find out what return we get fron spre.ying verges and paths. I hope that the result will be a restcration of some of our rural beauty, and even·g recuction in expenditure on wasted weed-killer! Yours einerely, M. P. lfooller, To the Editors. ])orney :.?arish News. Dear Sirs, lLanor Fam, Lorney. lcth May, 1968. I have now taken over t1e Dcrney Village Representative of the Women's ltcyal Voluntary Service (Etpn Rural District) ar.d I would be most grateful if you would allow me to nake an appeal through the Dorney ?arish :raws. Six years ego the W. V .S. ( as it was t.tien) took over the running of the Canteen and Trol 1􀀃y Shop Service at Cliveden Hospital and volunteL3􀛫 from the Eton Rural and Beaconsfield areas hav-, staffed the Canteed and taken the Trollies round the wards 5·days a week ever since, Quite a number of Dorney and Dorney Reach ladies have undertaken this work on a rota basis an<.l I know that the Vi,R,V.S, and the patients, staff and visitors to Cliveden Hospital are extremely grateful for the unfailing way in which these ladies have given their time and energy to this worth while work. But, inevitably, over the years we have lost a number of V{ ,R. V ,S. members and we are now desperately in need of new and more helpers. If there are any ladies in _this area who would be able to help us - if they could spare one or two half- days a month (Tuesdays or Fridays) or a Sunday' afternoon onqe a month - we should be most grateful for their help. In addition to the Canteen, the Dorney W,R. V.S, members help in the Physic- Therapy Department at Cliveden Ho spital on a Thursday morning, .Again if any ladies could undertake this work, it would help to lessen the runount of voluntary work now being done by the few ! Please ladies, if you could and would care to join this band of voluntary workers, telephone me at Windsor r,5278, or drop me a note, and I will be only too willing to give you further information and would be pleased to take you to Cliveden Ho spital to see the work being done there b􀛬 the members of the Women's Royal Voluntary Service, Yours faithfully, Margaret Finch, -w ___ ,.. A MEMORABLE OCCAS IO!:, I have been asked several times lately which day I had enjoyed most dicring my years in Dorney and I immediately thought of the Silver Jubilee of King George V and Queen Mary in 1935.

The idea was to have something for everybody and for a full days fun. moneyI wgiavse inn t coh mareg te o ofpl tanh ew iftootd, atnod t hhae db ea sstu mof o mf y ability, and I am glad to say I managed to supply aselvle trhael npoeunedds s onf vetrh,e vwihilolhag wee r£.en du seendd etdo uppu tw itthhe oak seat at Dent's Corner for waiting bus passengers.

April was a month of c.Jntrrsts. No sooner had March passed out in a blaze of glory, than the barometer tumbled, and so did the thermometer and the snow. A low in the North Sea and a high over Iceland funnelled cold air 􀛚trEight out of the .lrctic. Ahead of the cold ,,,lather was a belt of rain and the chill winds q􀛛ickly turned it into snow. To tte weather men the pattern was r􀛜lentlessly clear, and they rGad their forecasts with ,1usto, and P. deep sense of dramatic foreboding. By the third, the barometer was rising again, and the next fortnight was dry, sunny, but never very warm, and there were frosts on most nights. The second half of the month became much warmer, with a maximum of 760F on the 21 st, but the weather was somewhat unsettled, and there were a number of heavy showers. There was a thunderstorm on the 17th, In such conditions amounts of rainfall are often very variable, thus my record for the month is about􀛝 inches while at Langle?, which is not so far removed: it was only 1. 6 inches. ,Uthough I wac away at the time, I understand that at least two cevere storms which hit Dorney did in fact miss the DatchetLangley area. These storms were very welcome for they terminated a long dry epell extending over several months.

EDITORIAL In the present social and political climate which, by degrees, is apparent in many parts of the wc -.·ld, it has become difficult to capture any enthusiasm for the future. True, young reactionaries, burning with moral conscience, seem to increase and multiply, but so often they would appear to wish to replace the archaic with anarchy and democracy with the demagogic, Most of us are too wise or too lazy to be caug ht-up in these fast side currents but find ourselves wallowing in the main stream. It seems to be set on a circular course, for despite devaluation, high taxation and economic austerity we appear to make no progress but continually arrive back where we started. vVhe re is the Spirit that made Britain great? What happened to that race of men who's courage spread the Empire across the World? The answer is, ·of course, that both the Spirit and the men are still with us. I realised this today when my pride in Britain was rekindled. Rekindled by the Service that in our own lifetime boosted British pride and morale to its highest pinnacle. I refer to the Royal Air Force, this year celebrating the 50th Anniversary of its' foundation. Today, the 15th June, it was my privilege to attend the flying display and exhibition at Abingdon and to see the historic and glorious accomplishments of fifty years. It is a story of great achievements and reflects the outstanding ability of this Nation in all fields of industry. What tremendous advances have been and are being made.

Tod11.y there is P need of rf'dical thinking on the subject and prpctice ol prf'yer, The popular conception of God is of SOJeone to whom we go for help when we Pre in sorrow or when we Pre fpced with P. grE>ve si tw,tion tl.2t threP.tens to overwhelm us. He is, as it were, someone we c2ll in from outside to solve our problems or to fulfil some need. To very rmny people this is whe.t God and prayer mean to them, implication is unfortunate; But the God has value because he is useful. Very mar.y i1nmedi2tely Pssume that their prpyers are ineffective or that God is indifferent if their prRyers are not answered in accordance with their wishes. St. ;;ugustine once called ntter tion to the distinction between valuing a thing becPuse it is useful and vr>luing it t GCPU.Se it is enjoyRble in Pnd of itself. It is t􀆜"Ue thrit God is to be enjoyed and not used, 􀆝nd it is right tc pr2y to him when we are sc:cely pressed and need his guidrince and strength. But this is not the srune thing as asking him to do fo us what we should do for ourselves, age'I. t Tihsi so fdtoeen s snaiotd mteoadna y ththaatt mmopdenrn h asm PnI ciosm e of better morelly Pnd spiritually than his forefPthers nor thr>t he CRn solve Pll his problems. It me2ns thpt he no longer expects God to intervene 2nd deliver him from P.11 his difficult situ:,tions. InstePd modern mnn looks upon the varic,us question s pnd problems of life PS his own tnsk rmd responsibility. These taalrs .cpll not only for pr2yer but for tl,e PpplicRtion of humnn effort. God hae disrppeRred, so Wanidl. li•pfl.IDro bHalemmi-lst oolnv etrhi'n. ks :rt.h ir ,s iri s 'wnehaetd -ifsu lfmielenlte r• by man •come of age•; for the Christian this should not imply man•s assertion of his independence of God, but it does imply that God wants man •to stand on his own feet• and to learn to work out his problems for himself with his help and guidance. Often we go to God with questions and problems that a little common sense and effort can easily solve. Let us always bear in mind that God is lovingly involved in all our griefs, our sufferings, our trials, and all that happens to us. In the fellowship of prayer, God shares all these things with us; he does not necessarily remove the burdens anymore than he removed the burden of the Cross from his Son, but he bears the burdens with us through the night into the light of day. That is the true meani1:,s of fellowship in prayer. We pray not for pr:Lvileges, but that we may be conscious of God' s creative and transfo=ing presence. A PRAYER FOR RETIRED PEOPLE. Mrs. R. Bl1mdell has very kindly given the Vicar permission to insert in the Parish News the following humorous prayer:- 'Lord •.. Thou knowest that I am growing older. Keep me from becoming ta􀋒kative and possessed with the idea that I must express myself' on every subject. Release me from the creTtng to straighten out everyone's Aif2i::0s. G:ive me wings to got to the point, Seal my lips WD.en I am inclined to tell of my aches and pains; they are inore2sing with the years; rmd my love to speak of them grows more as time goes by. Teach me the glorious lesson that occas ionall y I may be wrong. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. Vii th my vast store of wisdom and experience it does seem a pity not to use it all, but Thou knowest Lord that I want a few frierds left at the end'.

It is to the credit of our sm all cofilfilunity that it pro duc es 6 auf'ficent number of en terpr ising residents, sooetiraes supported by fri en ds fr om elsewhere to create and maintain a fair hum.ber of so cieties and clubs. The tecJ.:l.ni cal exc ell 􀑋nc e of their meetings and events is due to their org anisers and helpers but suc cess depend s al so on the go odwill and often genero sity of the supporters who turn out in suffi cient numbers. w;_tho ut this support the work of the en th usia stic few will largely ? e wa 􀑌 ted even thoug h, let us be frank, they do it mainly bec ause they en joy it. There are· pr obably many causes of fail ure but one at least is surel y avo idable. When two events take pl ac e at the se.rae time the rather limited number of po ssible supporters has to choose between them . Thi s not only weakens support for the events but may disappoint tho se who would have supported bo th . I believe that occasionally the Do rney and Di stri ct Hortic ultural So ciety has suffered in this way; fortunatel y our ll.lll1 ual Show thi s year on the 13th July appears to have a clear field. These clashes of dates cen be avo ided by the keep ing of a simple regi ster which co uld be referr ed to by ev ent org􀑍ni sers when fixing dates. But who wo uld keep it ? Who better than you, the Parish News 􀑂di tcrs ? If you assU11ed this duty and published the timetable in each issue of the Parieh News it would have value both for the org'll'l.ir􀑃tions and for those of us whose good intentior.s to support the events are sometimes defeated by our own memories.

I would like to say how much I agree with all that Mr. Wooller writes in his letter, except that I do not think he goes far enough t Th e hedgerows and b-yvi ays of England have long been famous for th eir wealth of wildflowers, wh ich from Ap ril to Octob·er between them all provi􀑄e. more colour and variety th an th e averi,g e garden t Of course sone grow so profus ely th ey becone out-of-hand and are cl aesed as weeds. But what 1:iore lovely sight could be seen then Dorney Co:i11-:ion last week, Molden with buttercups ? If the sprnyer􀑅, had their way they would no doubt have been killed off ( for buttercups destroy • • • good grazing) , all th e sam e it is no bad th ing so metimes to preserve a beautiful sigh t at the exp en se of being iiapracti cal. Spre.ying road , verges with weedkiller is wasteful as well as dru:iae;ing. Very often the grass so destroyed could have been made into Hay, for peop le' s Ponies, Rabbits - even Goats. Once sprayed it is not only useless but unsightly and a source of dP,n ger to wild birds and many small mammals. Hed[sehogs asleep in a ditch can be killed if th ey are sp rayed; so cPn frogs and toads. Even more disastrous than weed spraying is the modern fashion of pulling up hedges wholesale; this is SAID to iaake harvesting easier, but the famers who do it will rue the day before very long.

Later they p ublicly admitted that if onl,y_ __ !he;Llli!Q, had HEDGES across these fields, this co·s'tly CITsnster would not have occurred.

Perhaps they haven' t tirae t Good farraing does not only consist of growing good 􀐺rops; it neans c onservi:rJ€ hedgerows, trees and wild plants to shelter the vlildlife that help the farner; one cannot exist without the other, and those who think otherwise are foolish and· ignorant, and in year to come will wonder why rats and Dice survive to eat their stored corn and potatoes; he will have forgotten he shot the kestrels and the foxes, Fa=i:ng is not learnt from books or in c olleges, or· b;y killing off one species to give oore roon to an.e ther - either plant or 1.miraal - it is ler.rnt by HARD WORK over neny years, nose to tl,0 grindstone, winter and sumner, by observation :md c o=on sense, Healthy farraland was ne.,ver 1cchieved by Cheraicals, and healthy land is the first step in making a farm pay, 􀐻ela Bell, BIRDS OF KENYA.

There are Spoonbills too and many species of duck, while several kinds of Kingfisher, including the Pygray Kingfisher, fly past. At Hell's Gate, a gorge at one end of Lake Naivasha, there are two Lannergeiers or Bearded Vultures living in the volcAnic cliffs and also a pair of Verr8ux Eagles. In a field outside the little township of Naivasha there are always hundreds of ugly Marabou Storks feeding on the fish thrown out from a nearby fActory. Further north, near Nanyuki, the nost striking bird we saw was the Widow-bird. It is jet blnck with bright red and buff shoulders and with a tail so long ( two feet or more) that it can hardly drag it along as it flies. Nearer Nairobi flocks of long-tailed Mousebirds, peculiar to Africa, abound and they keep up a constMt chatter and are a great nuisance to farners. Everywhere there are nany species of Weaver birds, which resemble Finches, but build their nests with n side, top anc botton entrance. In our garden, too, we see nll }inds of brilliant little Sunbirds flitting from flower to flower, extrnc ting honey with their long curved bills. whicOh nes iongf sny ve rfya vboeuariuttei fbuilrlyd sa nics tshoen ehRoowb irne-ncihandts, ne of home.

There is another group of insects which has a caterpillar stage, how ever, and these too can defoliate tre es, They are the Sawflies, so naued because of a saw-like cutter which the fenales possess for naking incisions in leaves and twigs to receive eggs, In appearance Sawflies are sinilar to w2sps but without a •wasp-waist• and they are co=only coloured yellow, green, orange or black, In the garden the Gooseberry Sawfly caterpillars will unashar:i.edly devour leaves of this plant and also currants leaving only the ripening fruit on bare twigs. Another species feeds in colonies on the leaves of Poplar while a third plays havoc with the leaves of Solonon 1 s Seal, The pine sawflies are serious pests of young pine plantations and rank as a uajor eneuy of the foreste.r.:-.. WAYFARER. ---- THE WEATHER OF MAY. But for a few days at the end, May's reputRtion would have been all:J.ost wholly bl'ld; for up to the 28th the teuperature never reached 7O°F, there were only three really sunny days, and there was 3.35 inches of rain. There were no fewer than sixteen rainy days, the wettest being the 4th and 18th, with .5 and .75 inches respectively. It was sooe consolation that despite the g€nerally hostile conditions, there was no air frost. A rising barooeter brought four warm days at the end of the nonth with 75OF on the 31st. May was substantially in accord with the long rpnge forecast. These prognostications are based on a highly refined version of the technique developed by Buchan for predicting hot and cold spells, by searching for patterns of behaviour in previous weather records. ll.r:J.ong the deta ils used are the nean pressure distribution nap for our own area, and the tenperature of the North Atl,mtic. Three Aprils in the late nineteenth century provided sillilar records to that of 1968, and we1·e followed by n poor May. The weathernan• s trust was ai:1ply fulfilled, and they nust have been the only people really satis fied with th€ result. 1§.Q􀀒 Mnterirl for public F'tion should re2ch one .of the Editors b;y the 16th o.f..jh􀆞J2£􀆟􀆠1Ef; uont!􀆡.!.-- -Ed-it-----or----s: - Ptf:lici tyE. 􀆢Eoc1r1irt ao:ri-r,l IE,1<:r1S. tCer.

The symbol of the devil, as personified evil, suggests it; our Lord's temptations in the wilderness imply it, and St. Paul's reference to a conflict with powers, other than flesh and blood, seems to indicate it.

At times it seems that we are in the grip of some sinister force that relentlessly urges us on to do the things which we most hate to do. That was St. Paul's bitter experience: he writes: "I dci not even acknowledge IIIY own actions as mine, for what I do is not what I want to do, but what I detest. The good which I want to do, I fail to do; but what I do is the wrong which is against my will" (Rom: 7. vv. 15 - 19). To put St. Paul's experience into everyday language, we some_ times ask ourselves: "What got into me ? 11 or "What got into that person ?" Such language seems to suggest th at evil has a sort of entity in ttself outside of ourselves. But the problem of evil is insoluble. Sufficient it is for us to believe that the conflict is not eternal, and that there will come the day of judgement or separation of the wheat from the weeds whrn God will triumph over the forces of evil. ----------- THE SUND!LSCHOOL AND CATECHISM.

DORNEY WOMEN' S INSTITUTE. -- The monthly meeting was held on Wednesday July 10th with our President, Mrs. Finch in the Chair. ' Apologies were received from several members on holiday and Mrs. Finch also welcomed a visitor, Mrs . Howlett. Suggestions for the 1969 progrronme 􀒩ould be welcome and it was also unanimously agreed that we should have evening meetings during the months of May, June and July as it was felt that many members liked to be out during these months, and the attenda.nce was never so good as in the winter months. This would definitely only be for a trial. The Produce Guild Secretary, il[rs. Clifford, urged members to go in for the Co-operative Section at the Taplow Produce Show on Thursday September 19th. Sch edules had been given out. The outing to Chichester Theatre o n ThursdP.y S eptember 5th was di scussed and it WRs agreed to use private cArs as a coach would make the outing too expensive, petro l costs to be shared.

I wonder if you have noticed this year that R start has been made to rehabilit2te them on two sides of Ashford Field. 1'\.nd I have asked the farmer concerned, under anci ent mPnoriPl custom, to tackle the boundary hedge of Lake End Common alongside Ashford Lane as and when he cPn find time so as to improve the commo n pasture. I wonder if there is an ornithologist in the Parish who can help me, I em anxious to prevent bul lfinches from eating the buds on some 4 acres of gooseberries. Can Anyone suggest, ple2se, how this c:m be Achieved ? P. D . S.2..: MOW ING. In our small Pnrish wo seem to hrive got rnther a lot of grass which needs mowing for the COIJ.mon good and ·there will be more in future. Excluding titillating, basio mowing takes the following approx. times:- War Memorial Churchyard Graveyard Childrens Playground 1 1 hours. l½ hours. l½ hours. l½ hours. In 1969 there will·also be the graveyard extension - say 1 hr. - and in 1969 or 70 the surrounds of the new Village Hall - say 2 hrs. So it rather looks as though mowing is likely to take some 9 hrs. a week for much of the s=er. That is, of course, if suitable machines are readily available and the work croi be done at the right time. I should very much like to have suggestions as to how we may resolve this problem. Titillating can be reckoned to take at least as long as is an allied problem. ?.D.S. P. J)QJiNEY PLAYE RS. The Dorney Players held their Annual Social in the Village Hall on Friday 5th July. It was attended by about 50 Lilembcrs and their friends. The evening began witl a one-net pl1;1Y, produced by l!irs. Roche, and p erforned by the junior members. This was an adaptation by Mr. Roche of ' • • one of A. A. Milne' s Winnie-the-Pooh stories, 11 The North Pole Expoti tion", and was deligh tful to watch F>nd listen to. There were various energetic and hilarious gp.rnes org1anised by Mrs. Wooller and Elizabeth Roche, and some enthusiastic if not graceful barn dP.ncing under the expert tuition of Mr. Eastgate. Refreshments were in the capable hands of Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Basher, and Amply satisfied the healthy appetites that were worked up during the evening. We were glad to have a rest and enjoy the topical "p laying at trains" entertainment by 1'11r. hoche, who also compered the show. Our thanks to everyone who helped in the running of the social, to Mr. Allen who orgpnised the rpffle, and the mothers who baked cpkes and cut sandwichce. As we go to press, we are at last hopeful of putting on a full length play in the autumn, under a new and professional producer, lllrs. Betty Gray of Maidenhead. This will be a comedy thriller, and pro11ises to be one of our most enjoyable ventures. A VISIT TO 1iJURCHISON FALLS .2.ARK. ----------􀀘---- - A. M. W. The most interesting safari we made while in KenyR WAS to the Ivlurchison Falls .?ark in UgMda. It was a journey of over 1,200 miles there and back, We went viA Eldoret and Kampala, the capit?.l of UgandA - ?. new town full of hAndsome modern buildings - sp ending a night at the latter, and returned north wards through Gulu, then down to Tororo and back near the shores of Lake Victoria, through Kis=u and the lovely tea-growing country round Kericho. Tomediately we crossed the border into Uganda we noticed a difference. fue iams were more African and less organised ther the big fa=s in Keny8.

Is •goodness' something that we can define in terms of conformity to ethicPl law? It is interesting to note that our Lord has something to say about this in the Ser::ion on the Mount. On one occasion he warned his disciples against thinking of •goodness' in this way. He said that their goodness must be far better than that of the scribes and Pharisees before they could step foot in the kingdom of heaven. It is clear from this that •goodness', as Christ saw it, was not merely outward conformity to a given standard of conduct, In his Sermon on the Mount our Lord is careful to draw a distinction between two things, what we may describe as I doing something' and •becoming something'. According to·Christ•s teaching •goodness• is found in •becoming something'. It is infinitely more than just external obedience to law·. He probes far below the surface of right conduct into the depths of disposition. There, says our Lord1 in the depths of our being true 'goodness' shou.Ld be found. True •goodness' is not the slave or morality. Christ would rather define •goodness• in terms of love than in terms of law. It is the love of God and of our fellowmen that is the essence of true I goodness' • It has been suggested that I the good' for man is found in some kind of personal fulfilment. If this be so, surely our most abiding fulfilment would re to become at.one with God in Christ·. 􀐮VES T T!L>NKBG IV lNG S ERV lC:ES .

CHRISTL1.N STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN. -=------------- The half-yearly totals for the Campaign show that a total of £170. 5. 9d. has been received in pledged giving through the envelope scheme. All save two of the pledges h!ive been honoured but there is a shortfall of £50. on the total pledged amount. Giving at this rate for the whole year will, of course, produce ju:St over £340. to which must be added the substantial sum brought in by Covenants and the smaller amounts from F. Y{. o. and the loose plate. Seven F; 1J. o. givers accounted for £20.14. 4d. in the half-year, so that we may expect a grand total of som e £400. through envelope giving in the full twelve months. At the next P. C, C. and Executive meetings in September we shall have to make plans for the next year's campaign, decide when we shall hold the i'aish Supper, whom we should invite as our guest of honour and all those other things which • Phaarvies hn.o w bI ehcaovmee as ompaerotn e oifn cmhiurncdh a sl ifguee sitn otfh e honour, whom I shall propose to the P. c. c. and who should be both unusual and exciting. lookOsn ea so tthhoeugr th hingyo uwrh iCacmh piaisg nno tDi rseoc gtooord f.o r It another year will have to be me.

Whether such action is precipitated by the nee essi ty of co nfining cattle or the demands of ancient mano rial custo m is immaterial, what is impo rtant and commendable is that some hedgerows are to be preserved. . Perhaps_ it is 􀑅ignificant that, at the same time, Col. ?almer is asking for suggestions as to ho w bullfinches may be prevented from eating the buds on some four acres of goosenberries. The solution to his problem may lay ot with an ornithologist, but with his ' farmer colleagues. attrLacetti vmee etox pblualilnf􀑆 incGhoeoss.e berTheye .mbuordes baurdes there are t􀑇e more food there is for bullfinches􀄫 Bullfinches are controlled by predatory birds and animals but ?redators require places to hide and nest. Suitable cover is in trees and thick hedgerows so with little cover, and consequently few predators, the bullfinches multiply to pest proportiuns unchecked. The answer to the problem then is to maintain good thick hedges and plenty of trees. 'iffl..YFllRER.

The unusual feature of this weather was that it was both relatively loca􀉑 and very stable, A high pressure area becarae stationary to the north west of the British Isles, and cut off the procession of depressi ons which usually doninate our weather. It brought northeasterly winds off the North Sea with a lot of cloud down the eastern half of the country. This cloud broke up and dispersed, as it was carried westwards, so that agai􀓟􀈚 as in July the western half of the country had good weather, i􀓝deed in Ireland and even as close as the Lake District, there was a water shortage. Isobar's snall tr􀊲nsistor radio operating in an unfavourable recept􀒁on area on the north coast· of Norfolk had scarcely enough power to transnit this galling news abov􀘏 the noise nade by the rain on the roof of his caravan. He returned after a week in which the inches of rain exceeded the ninutes of sunshine, with no tan, and umpteen pairs of wet socks. After t􀒫􀈿t the weather cheered up a bit, and there were quite sunny days on the-12th and 􀉒􀉸th, but there was rain on seven days􀈖running from the 􀉓3th to the 19th. The l􀐂t wee􀒖 rele􀓞ted, and gave us nainly 􀈭pleasant weather, with a nunber of warn and sunny days, even for nost of the last Test Match, although there were still sorae heavy sto􀓍s at tines. The naximun tenperature was 77° F on the 12th and the minimum 45􀉇F on the 19th. Total rainfall was around 2. 4 inches, which is about average. Generally a poor nonth, in fact the dullest August at_Kew for 80 years. ISOBAR. M􀈳ateErdiialt ofrosr b ypu tbhlei ca1t6tioh n os􀑐h tohuel 􀐛p rreeaccehd 􀒐on e moofnt h.

TI: 􀛫re s.re 1;wo things that perhaps distinguish the lives of saints, and which are of the essence of 1 eainthood 1 • First, there is a sense of 1 awareness 1 of the presence of God in their lives; they live with God. This •awareness• is the uost precious thing in th􀛬 lives of saints; and beside it, everything else fe;Lls into insignificence, 􀛭e may say of saints that they are 'God-conscio us• people. Even the veil of material things, with all its deoands, cannot dim this sense of 1 God-awareness 1 • On the contrary, the V?.ried features of earthly life rat;J:>er afford occasions for the lifting up of their ninds and hearts to God. Second, the saints have a p assion for the •who leness' of the spiritual life; they are perfectionists. Moderate '.:Ind respecti>ble norality with which the greater nUIJ.ber of us is content has no attraotioh for the saints. It has been said that the saints have a kind of self-reg11rding quality. • This is a paradoxical statenent; it neans that saints see ther:iselves as people in the process of 'being nade', whether in the estination .of society they are useful or not. Obviously this does not uean that saints ?.re useless people, but that 1 Ohristlikeness 1 is the prinary objective in their lives . And this, they adnit, they c,annot attain only with the grace of God, St, Paul reoinds us that we are ·• called to be saints• in this deeply spiritual sense, not just only useful, good people, but beautiful in ourselves and a part of God's treasure. • lli:g) FA/1f&Y. ... ]L'\l2H-@._fil..!Jm._A:QlttE!3S. fillfil!AY 1 3RD NO VEMBER LTRINITY 21) REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY SERVICE: 1O '.IH NOVEMBER -... .CTJ:1 IN !Pr 2g ) - 8 a.ra-.

Our depressions norwally pass to the North of th􀛲 B·ri tish Isles, and illOVe quite quickly• The rain area associated with them is in the form of a relatively narrow belt, the whole of which passes broadside across the country, producing several hours of rain followed by a clearance. Hence the old adage of "rain pe;tore seven, fine before eleven". But depressions which do not follow this track·, and which pass to the south often get stuck, and in addition can trail the' wet belt, s·o that it passes longitudinally through an area instead of acroes it - and it takes a long time to pass; rather like trying to cross ?eascod Street diagonally from the broik at the top to Wellrac!Il. 1 s at the bottom; it would take a long time and be subject to violent interruptions. The rest of the nonth reo.air:ed rather 1ms ettl ed with s1mshine and shov. ers. The maxinuu tenperaturo was 77 ° F on the 10th., and the minmum 450F on the 19th. Rainfall for the bonth· was ·6 inches, well over twice the aver11ge, and quite the heaviest I have recorded since I started this feature. The poor sUIJmer is perhaps iwt surprising, / as it corresponds with a period of maximum sunspot activity. The only slieht solace is that at· such tines the•winter is just marginally .:iore likely to be waro, ·wet and windy, which, such is the gruesome potential of our climate, is the best that could be expected. As the sunspot cycle is eleven years, we may get a decent sumner in about four years, but do:ri' t look forward to it too much, as it will probably go with a rotten winter.

EIJITORDU,, One of the more depressing features of modern living is overcrowding. Massive projects are dteos isgucnceede dto e adceahl o twihtehr wtihteh pgrorbel2ent r abputi dtihteys ean qh avthee end result is not improvement but maintenance of the status qua. One of the most obvious examples of this situation is seen on the roads, the traffic on the east-west roads through Slough is just as it wns before the M.4. WP.s built. Even the M.4. itself is sometimes filled to capacity. A recent jam extended from London Airport to Chiswick Flyover. An idle observer notices how many cars have no passengers. The briefcase is a more frequent passenger than the human. It seems such an inefficient method of moving people from place to place and, in view of the crowded ro£1ds, we wonder what sort of benefit a car confers in city life. The immediate answer of car-users, and even of the inveterate pedestrians, is the unreliability of public transport. Yet part of the reason for this unreliebility lies _in the number of cars on the road. It is a vicious circle. Since the freedom of the individual is sacrosanct in this country the only answer is to wait until the next pll'trl is produced and this must not interfere with individual choice. This .seems so defeatist: it would be better if everyone recognised the problem and was willing to raake some sacrifice in reaching an answer. Maybe one of the things we le arn fre,:r::i Christmas - the sacrificial love of God in becoming man - will cause us to seek an answer. At any rate we wish our readers a very happy Christmas and - safety on the :roads t SERV ICES IN THE P1UtffilL.QiillEQ! OF ST. JAMES.
