Anchor Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, March 20, 1985, page 9 ... this little child There's a story, which I inderstand is true, about a mall farming community n the Southwest, which lemonstrates an interesting ind important point. It seems that this com- nunity had been suffering or a long time from a erious drought. Their 'rops and cattle faced cer- ain destruction along with heir economy if the need- -d rains continued to stay iway. Finally, the situation yecame so serious that irastic measures were call- -d for and the entire ,opulation was called upon o collect at the small local -hurch to pray for rain. On the appointed day the hirty or forty families of he area dutifully showed ip at the church. The sky was blazing sheet of brass without a cloud in sight. [he heat was almost more han a person could stand. Dust devils could be seen whirling acros the fields ind fhe group looked upon he dreary scene through squinted eyes as_ they rooped into the church, - jepressed and silent. Inside, led by the local sreacher, they fell silent ind each in his own way srayed for the cooling, life- Ziving rain that could save hem. An hour passed. DJutside, there was a change in the wind, and over the distant mountains 'o the west a long, heavy ine of clouds began to Jarken the sky,. The wor- shippers inside the little church were unaware of his and continued their silent prayers until, sud- Jenly, their heads raised at the distant sound of thunder, They held their oreath until the sound came again, this time, un- mistakeable, the distant crack of heavy, business- like thunder. They ran out into the churchyard and filled their lungs with the sweetest smelling air on earth, the smell of fresh, cool water falling on dry, parched earth. And soon the fast moving storm reached them and the rain fell in torrents. They jumped up and down and shouted and hugged one another; they danced in circles and thanked God for the saving rain. And then, suddenly, they all fell silent. There was only the sound of the booming thunder and the cascading rain as they all stood and looked at one lit- tle seven-year-old girl who was smiling from ear to ear and watching the rain from beneath the shelter of a tiny umbrella. Out of the entire assembly, she had been the . only one who, in her sim- ple, childish faith, had ex- pected the rain tobe delivered, and had, in her womanly wisdom, provid- ed herself with an um- brella. The dripping adults looked at each other, and then splashed back into the church for a_ sober thanksgiving service. -- Earl Nightingale Peter Monks, Branch President : The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints March Break Activities The Terrace Bay Recreation Department organized numerous ac- tivities varying from Novelty Bowling to' Road Hockey for the children of this community during the school break.
