  • The Highlands Grapevine
    During the month of May we were asked to pray for the nations of Asia and the theme of our prayers was that “God would send out workers to gather in His harvest”. I found this lovely poem written by a man who had a dream. It is based on the story in Matt. 21:18-20 when Jesus looked for fruit on the fig tree and found nothing but leaves. The time of the harvest was ended, And the summer of life was gone, When in from the fields came the reapers, Called home by the dip of the sun; I saw them each bearing a burden Of toilsomely ingathered sheaves; They brought them in love to the Master, But I could bring nothing but leaves. The years that He gave I had wasted, Nor thought I how soon they would fly, While others toiled for the harvest, I carelessly let them slip by; I idled about without purpose, Nor cared I, but now how it grieves; While others brought fruit to their Master, I found I had nothing but leaves. Then soon from my dream I was wakened, And sad was my heart, for I knew That though my life’s day was not over, Ere long I should bid it adieu. I started in shame and in sorrow, I turned from the sin that deceives; Henceforth I must toil for the Saviour Or maybe bring nothing but leaves. (by Jack Selfridge) On the Sunday after Easter, Pete told us all about ‘Doubting Thomas’. I found myself wondering what happened to Thomas.

    "BY MY SPIRIT" BY THE REV. JONATHAN GOFORTH, D.D. MARSHALL, MORGAN & SCOTT, LTD. l..oNDON AND EDINBURGH Printed in Great Britain by Hunt, Barnard & Co., Ltd~, London and Aylesbury, PREFACE A MISSIONARY of the Canadian Presbyterian Church, Dr. Jonathan Goforth, has, for a long period of years, been stationed in Manchuria, China, and during his ministry there has been wonderfully used of God, not only in declaring the incomparable message of a Saviour's redeeming love, but also in the inauguration of Revival movements which have brought rich and abiding blessing upon the Church and its members. For a number of years p1essure has been brought to bear upon him to write an account of his Revival experiences in the hope that these might have a message for the whole Church of Christ and point the way to that spiritual quicken­ ing of which it is so much in need . But while realising the importance of making known to all the world the great things which the Lord has done for His people· in China, Dr. Goforth has felt that the preaching of the Gospel had first claim upon his time, and to that urgent task he devoted himself with a zeal and an energy that left no opportunity for other pursuits. Recently, 1'owever, a change of circumstances gave to him the opening for which he had been waiting. Laid aside from preaching for several months, and having his youngest son, Frederick, with him on a visit, he PREFACE dictated to him the substance of this volume, and thus at last the thrilling record of the mighty move­ ments of the Holy Spirit has been prepared for press.

Signature Kottayam 30-10-2015 Dr. Jacob Thomas Chapter I Introduction and Design of the Study The traditional industrial sector comprising bell metal craft, cashew-processing, coir manufacturing and handloom weaving, is generally perceived as ‘the access around which the rural economy of Kerala gets rotated’, obviously, the policy-makers during the post independent period, with a slew of perfectly matching strategic measures, had attempted to ascend the sector as an ‘employment-reservoir’, targeting the individuals and households who domiciled in villages or hamlets of Kerala. Overwhelmingly, the key factor for the sustainable growth of the traditional industry is the skill and the craftsmanship of the workers who have been associated with this source of bread-winning since their childhood itself.
