WWTW' ENCOURAGEMENT FOR BEGINNING SKIERS Said a friend of mine to me one day, You really must go skiing - And feel the wind rush by your face And see your troubles fleeing. I said I thought it would be fun, And gaily trotted out. But when I started down the hill, I felt a sudden doubt. I felt the wind, I felt the cold, I felt the sudden drop. I tried to stem, I tried to check, And then I tried to stop. But I went racing down the hill - My bindings came unhitched: My skis stopped short, but I went on - Into a snowbank pitched. I slowly rose, shook off the snow, And stared straight down that hill. It stared my courage back to me And left me with a chill. At last I reached the level ground, And strangely felt no pain, I thought to myself, That wasn't bad, And decided to do it again! And then I knew my friend was right, Because I did love skiing: I felt the wind rush by my face, And saw my troubles fleeing. I felt so free in spite of being Often under snow: The feeling was needed, and not the skill, So don't give in to woe! Wendy Shepard PRAYER FOR A PILGRIM O Christian, Christian, follow him Who put thee to the trial. Leave the City of Destruction, Watching all the while. O Christian, Christian, where is he, Who shows the Rocky Way? I think I heard Evangelist Revealing this to you that day. O Christian, Christian, why this load Upon my wearied back? Can I make it all the way With this great, bulky pack? O Christian, Christian, save me from This life of Mister Worldly-Wise. Protect me from complacency And all deceitful lies. O Christian, Christian, show me how To go the windy Path, Save me from the highway That leads to Satan's wrath. O Christian, Christian, ask thyself: Why this turmoiled test? Could it be that he Wants thee To have eternal rest? O Christian, Christian, give me Hope That I might find the Gate, And live with faithful evermore In God's own lightened estate. Cintra Lo fting
