NEXT WEEK

THE WEEKLY TIMES

TURNS 100 YEARS!

The Weekly Times celebrates
100 years of continuous and
uninterrupted publication next
Wednesday September 1.

THE TIMES was launched in
Gladesville on September 1 1921 by
Charles Halliday Engisch and has
continued under the editorship and
publication by John F Booth AM
since May 1 1979.

We had hoped to celebrate in
style but our celebrations have
been placed on hold as a result
of the current Covid-19 pandemic
restrictions.

But we will party on for all when
we get over the restraints.

Meanwhile we have tried to make
this week’s edition an almost Covid-
free publication as you are probably
as fed up with it all as much as us!

But we cannot promise to be so
restrained next week – even if it is
our Centenary birthday celebration!

And please try and Keep Smiling!

“Finally he calls out if someone could be his

somehow.

“She finds a rope and pulls him out.”
Friends are like that woman they see someone
stranded whether it is emotionally, socially or
physically then they put themselves out to help.
In the above story, the doctor and the priest
failed to be a friend to someone who needed
one but the woman succeeded!
Jesus of Nazareth makes the point;
“Greater love has no-one but to lay their life
down for their friends.” (John Chapter 15 verse
13).
