SUNDAY CHOICE – Jesus, keep me near the Cross -A message for Lent – By Charles Schokman Image Source : youtube “In the Cross,” written by Fanny Crosby, is one of my favourite hymns. It was sung regularly in the Reformed Church I belonged to as a child, and since then I’ve sung it frequently during my own times of worship … and in the car … and anywhere really. On this special day of the year, Good Friday, I’m sharing it here with you. Jesus, keep me near the cross; there a precious fountain. Free to all, a healing stream flows from Calvary’s mountain. (Refrain) Near the cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me. There the bright and morning star sheds its beams around me. (Refrain) Near the cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me. Help me walk from day to day with its shadow o’er me. ...

It all happened in Colombo – a generation ago – By Upali Salgado The changing face of Colombo, and the lifestyles of her people exposed to Western culture are always fascinating. Two writers, Herbert Hulugalle, a former Editor of the Ceylon Daily News, and Dr. R.L. Brohier, OBE, have in print recorded many facets of the History of Colombo, which was once a Moor trading centre and later a Portuguese and Dutch cittadel. During British times, it was known as the ‘Garden City’. This story is to rekindle the interest of readers about what life in Colombo once was. The prominent landmarks that beautify the landscape of Colombo are Slave Island with the picturesque Beira Lake encircling the human settlement, and the Galle Face walk (‘Green’ as it is known today). Moors and Malays have lived in Slave Island for over 800 years, and also ‘Kaffir’ soldiers, brought from Mozambique and the ...
