Interviews conducted at random on the streets of Warsaw produce the same message time after time. Many say they believe gov- ernment incompetence has placed Poland and its people in financial jeopardy and that the Soviet Union is behind the imposition of martial law. On the economic front, of- fice workers, factory work- ers, taxi drivers and students say they barely have enough money to provide food, cloth- ing and shelter for them- selves and their families. Politically, they condemn martial law for the toll it has taken on: human dignity, causing the separation of families and leaving Poles -prisoners in their own coun- Ty. The people are more hesi- tant about speaking dut since Dec. 18, when the military regime -slapped on martial law with its attendant cur- fews and travel restrictions, to prevent the country from sliding into “anarchy and chaos.” ASSURED ANONYMITY However, when assured of anonymity, most. agree to disclosed their personal cir- cumstance.

Now I do not tell you that to make you jealous, but to show you that in all of the negative reports and situa- tions that this world finds itself in,-there is hope. All is not gloom-and doom, Love still reigns supreme. We regularly hear of the wickedness that is increasing on the earth. We hear of the increase in crime. We hear of the catastrophies of weather, famine, wars, ‘plane crashes, terrorism and so on that seem to be ever on the increase. BUT in the midst of all this, we see LOVE. While going through. a troublesome time and facing + physical fatigue, my wife and I were surprised to be told that some loving people were going to send us to Hawaii. - This is just one incident that convinces me that there is still lots of love around and that people really do care. It is not surprising that love still moves the hearts of people to show deeds of kindness. The greatest act of kindness and love ever known is found in Romans 6:7 and 8 “Very rarely will anyone die for a someone might possible dare - todie. But God demonstrates his own love for us‘in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (NIV). While we were antagonis- tic toward God, Christ, the Son of God, died for us that by accepting Him as_ our Saviour and committing .our lives to Him, we would have eternal life, hope and free- dom from sin. It is no wonder then, that having such a God of love, that when we follow Him, “the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts”. “God is love” and His love becomes our love that reaches out to others. - ‘Yes, all is not lost. Love still reigns and when all else is gone love will remain. would give her friend a degree of independence few . handi- capped people can enjoy in the Soviet Unioh.
