Once it gets into your system you n:eyer quite get rid of it. On, Friday, we d cucked out of the oflfice Just before lunch, went home, ulyintending to spend the weekend s3urrounded by nose drops, cough syruip, facial tissues, and the rest, in an effort to brecak uip a persistent cold. Fortunately, or unifortunately, tbe boob tube was carrying al bbe boopla and the excitement connected witb the Tory leadersbîp convention in Toronto, and we couldn't resîist ilb. So, from ecarly aferoo iutil far: into bbhe next morn- ing we watched, listened and lived it wibbth -Fe candidates, ail the wbile wheezing anrd coughing between votes. Iwas agea show\, thiat came near to flopping wbien those pes-ky 'liberal' vot- ing mrachines didn't work properly. We have tagie co-nsiderable credit to alth candidiates and their wives for th1-eir self conitrol while under great pressutre fromn those daumnable prying eyes of the television cameras and the iaequc:stionfing of some of the busy litieinervewrswho kept pushing mnikes inito their faces, interrupting bbmwheii they wretrying to concen- traie on othertigs Darcy McKeougb was theý only o-ne who almost expressed wbahpt we were thiniking. The rest, in- cluding bbcth new Premnier Bill Davis, restrai.ned themselves and did their best to, accommofICdate teirquestianers... ,qrd that mnust hiave been a dreadful chore. Televisioni certainfly has changed te-eni.,,re complOexioin of' polibical con- ve7rnions, k hbas inicreaseýd the cost tre- ,rnenùuusly bheeausce ever_.body is con- scious ,od the fart that the audience of vobers watching the showý is much larg- er than bb-, numbers wbo are present in the convention hall.

Now it's over and William Gren- ville Davis, at 41 years of age, bas acb- îeved an ambition, that according to publicists, was instilled in bim by that beloved former Minister of Agriculture and grass noots poliician the late Tom Kennedy. Mn, Davis took over Mr. Ken- nedy's provincial seat wben he retined and bas gone forward from there, with determination and long bours of work. He was the candidate selected by the establishment as the one mosb likely to follow the pattern set by retiring John Robants; tbey even look alike. But, bis elevation wasn't easy, tbere were oppos- ing forces that wanbed somebhîng new and different and tbey wAere supporting, another lawyer Allan Lawrence, wbo camne wibbin 44 votes of upsetting the apple cart and the party hierarcby. Had tbey been able to acq uine those few extra votes, the party would bave un- dergone a considerable change in out- look and personnel, but tbey didn't, so not too much of a radical nature can be expected. The new Premier -of Ontario is a cool customer, a superb organizen, who apparently knows wbat hep wants to cdo and where be is going. if be can get by bis first election . .. that pnobably will probably bc coming eitber in bhe spring or faîl of this year, lie sbould continue to iead the Ontario govennment stead- îly, but not specbacularly, forward along artbodox lines. H1e doesn't appear ta, be one wbo will make fast decisions with- aut giving tbem tborough consideration, ro bis mistakes sbould be minimal. iFankly, w7e feel the convention delegat es nmiae fthe right cdecision lI cboosing Davis, but anfly tim-e will btell.

Andrew sougbt bis brother Peter, and Pbilip put a challenge ta Nathanaei. Discipleship was contagiaus. Many people are inclined ta regard their religion as a treasure ta find and hoard. Thcy "get religion" or tbey are "changcd." Thcy are satisfied, Howcvcr, this kiad of religion bas not as yet taken bhe first step înto the mctbod of Chnistianity. This branid 'of religion often evaporates to bbc disappointmenf af the anc who cxperienced it and bbe cynicism of those wbo know him. The first sign of disciplesbip is bbc desire ta communicabe it, I do not mean to bave your pastor visit somebody wbom you feel needs religion, or a new- camer down bbc street wbo migbb ac- cept a professional nudge. I mean ta take your own încom- plete conviction, half-establisbcd loyal- ty, and wavering ideals, and set tbem la bbe way of service.

This last week has been a grand one, and let mie hear no old-timer sport- ing contemptuousiy that "The winters ain't what they used to be." It started off ordinarîly enqugh colder than a tax collector's heart. In mid-week things warmed up, figura- tively. Out of the west came a bowling blizzard, winds gusting from 40 to 60 m.p.h., snow that ceut like a razor-blade, and a wind-chill-factor temperature of 60 below zero. Somehow, it was ail fun. I got Up, looked out the window, and saw noth- ipg but white. The bouse was creaking and groaning like an arthritic climbing a rope ladder. Didn't'ev,,en- put on my long under- wear. Took aý look at the cat, whose greeni eyes balefuflly' threw back, "Just try and thro1w nme out in that buddy." Didn't. Pluned o ut the back door in grpieat spirits anid sank to the navel in snow. Made il, to the garage because I knew there'd be no cabs on the rouad. The damn car started. Thenl the big dleci- sien, With the eye of a computer I iudg- ed the snowbank., Decided to use the bombing attack. Closed my eyes and sent her'backwards at full bore.

Won a curling game Thursday nigbt on the last shot. This somewhat made up for losing my car keys in the swirling snow Iust before I left for curling. Things remained on the up-swing. Long, luxurious sleep Friday morning. Tbere's nothing sweeter than sleeping in on a day on wbich you'd normally 'be working. FounEd the keys (myv only set) by a minor miracle. Ai-d it's been goîng well ever sïince. This morning it was 32 belowý, but one of those perfect winter dayýs: brigbft sui, smoke curling up like miusical tnotes from ail the chimneys, snow cuinching, eyes watering, lungs hackîng.

Howeven, let it neyer bc forgotten thaf wben Jesus delivered bis finst ser- mon la bis home town, ifs theme was a praphetie message of hope for the needy.
