PARTISAN LOGIC
An elderly fellow by the name of Mr. MacIntosh was laying on his deathbed, with his son at his bedside. The old man said suddenly, "It's time! Send for the Minister." His son said, "The Minister! Dad, I think you mean the priest. We are devout Catholics." "Get the Minister! Get the Minister!" the dying man repeated agitatedly. "Dad, your illness must be affecting your mind," the son replied, patting his father on the shoulder. "I will call the priest." The old man insisted, "If you have ANY love for your father, you will do as I have asked." So, reluctantly, the son did his father's bidding, and soon thereafter, the Minister arrived and converted the old man to the Protestant faith. Moments later, the parish priest knocked on the door. The son said, "Father, I am afraid you are too late. The Minister has already been here." The priest rushed over to the old man's beside and he asked in dismay, "How could you do it? Why did you do it?" The old man looked up and replied, "Well, Father, I figured that if someone had to die, better one of them than one of us."
THIS and THAT
Andrew Neaum
We had a lovely farewell for Rachel Neaum in The Den after choir practice on Thursday evening. Lots of good food, fellowship and laughter, as well as a drink or two. Rachel has been overwhelmed by good wishes, gifts and appreciation. She will miss St Augustine’s easily as much as she will be missed. She appears to be getting flu as I write this, but if she triumphs over it she will sing with Emily the lovely “Missa Mozartiana” for us at this Sunday’s 8.30am Eucharist as a little farewell.
The Rachel saga
Her visa and passport saga has proved to be a nail-biter to the end. As an international postgraduate student in Britain, on an Australian passport she requires a visa. To obtain that visa she needed a firm offer of a university place. To obtain a firm offer of a university place required not only proof of her ANU academic credentials, but also hard-copy, letter-headed references from a couple of her ANU lecturers. As is her wont, she left her run rather late and one of her referees was more than dilatory. A hastily arranged substitute provided a glowing reference, but only by email and this took ages to be rectified. Although the firm offer eventually materialised, it did so far too late for the visa to arrive in time for her to catch her flight on Monday the 31st.
Plan B was to renew her British passport with which she is able to enter Britain without a visa. This too, as is Rachel’s wont, was a run left nail-bitingly late.
Plan C was to postpone her flight.
On Wednesday last week she received a call from the British Embassy to say she should receive her passport on Friday. So as I write this pewsheet we offer prayers for Australia Post, have not postponed her flight and plan, in faith, a trip to the Airport for Monday.
So assuming that Australia Post is open to the grace conferred by fervent prayer she will receive her British passport and fly from Melbourne on Monday to be met at Heathrow by David and his Rachel. She will then spend a couple of halcyon, rich-dieted, good conversational and relaxing weeks in Dorset, before heading to Nottingham for a year of rich philosophical and theological study on a more meagre, frugal and Tesco-specials dominated diet.
She has been a great boon to me this past year, as she was to Margaret and I shall miss her wit, wisdom and sparkle enormously.
Meg’s imminent sibling
However, a sibling for enchanting little Meg is due on the 16th of September, and so there will be little time to mope or feel abandoned. Elizabeth has already put on to my computer a great screed of instructions as to how to mind Meg when she herself is maternity-home bound in Benalla. The babe’s first home will be Shepparton Rectory for a few months though, because Nathan and Elizabeth’s house in Benalla is still far from habitable.
Nostalgia
A cartoon in the latest Spectator sent me back to reread what is possibly the greatest piece of nostalgia in all verse: Rupert Brooke’s famous The Old Vicarage, Grantchester.
To a chronic nostalgic like myself it is a very, very lovely if somewhat over the top read. It was written when Brooke was hugely homesick in Berlin in 1912 and so contains a few phrases in German. It ends with two frequently quoted lines which are effectively if tragically parodied in the cartoon caption.
Those who are webbed can easily Google and enjoy the whole poem. For the unwebbed there follow three snatches, the poem’s beginning (imagining the old Vicarage in Grantchester), a middle chunk, and its end.....
Just now the lilac is in bloom,
All before my little room;
And in my flower-beds, I think,
Smile the carnation and the pink;
And down the borders, well I know,
The poppy and the pansy blow...
Oh! there the chestnuts, summer through,
Beside the river make for you
A tunnel of green gloom, and sleep
Deeply above; and green and deep
The stream mysterious glides beneath,
Green as a dream and deep as death.
........
In Grantchester, in Grantchester...
Still in the dawnlit waters cool
His ghostly Lordship swims his pool,
And tries the strokes, essays the tricks,
Long learnt on Hellespont, or Styx.
Dan Chaucer hears his river still
Chatter beneath a phantom mill.
Tennyson notes, with studious eye,
How Cambridge waters hurry by...
And in that garden, black and white,
Creep whispers through the grass all night;
And spectral dance, before the dawn,
A hundred Vicars down the lawn;
Curates, long dust, will come and go
On lissom, clerical, printless toe;
And oft between the boughs is seen
The sly shade of a Rural Dean...
Till, at a shiver in the skies,
Vanishing with Satanic cries,
The prim ecclesiastic rout
Leaves but a startled sleeper-out,
Grey heavens, the first bird's drowsy calls,
The falling house that never falls.
Ah God! to see the branches stir
Across the moon at Grantchester!
To smell the thrilling-sweet and rotten
Unforgettable, unforgotten
River-smell, and hear the breeze
Sobbing in the little trees.
Say, do the elm-clumps greatly stand
Still guardians of that holy land?
The chestnuts shade, in reverend dream,
The yet unacademic stream?
Is dawn a secret shy and cold
Anadyomene, silver-gold?
And sunset still a golden sea
From Haslingfield to Madingley?
And after, ere the night is born,
Do hares come out about the corn?
Oh, is the water sweet and cool,
Gentle and brown, above the pool?
And laughs the immortal river still
Under the mill, under the mill?
Say, is there Beauty yet to find?
And Certainty? and Quiet kind?
Deep meadows yet, for to forget
The lies, and truths, and pain?... oh! yet
Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
And is there honey still for tea?
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
Canon D Neaum 1912-2001
Passing on down George street on my way to school I came to Cluster road which ran along the bottom end of the three streets and into Long Row. On this road was another temptation to dawdle, for the time about which I write was during the first World War and here was the Drill Hall. If it was one of my lucky mornings the new recruits would be suffering their first instruction under a very loud-voiced sergeant, waxed moustache and all. I would hang over the half-door, hoping not to attract his attention, eager to watch those who, like me, didn't know their left from their right. But never was I allowed much time for in between the Sergeant's screaming at wrong turns by his men he would find time to shout rudely to me, ‘bugger off’ - and I went, hastily. Though not a timid lad, I knew when it was time to move ‘At the double’.
The Triangle
Passing on, I came to Long Row and the Council School where, to my young eyes, there were hordes of rough boys of whom I was a bit nervous, so I passed there as quickly as I could - down to the main road where, on the opposite side, was our Church. Here the main road divided and at the junction that was called ‘The Triangle’- a paled oval with two huge beech trees on it. There also stood P.C. Greenwood, a friendly man in blue, who saw all children safely across the road. I remember the very rare passing of a motor car, but always the trot of horses being either ridden or driven. If it was the butcher’s light cart I would get a friendly wave of the whip for on some Saturday mornings he would take me on his round, letting me hold the reins. Being young and vulgar, one of my chief delights on these trips was the habit of the horse to break wind at every step.
But now I faced the doom of a day's schooling for there in front of me stood the massive ‘New Mill’ and, nestling under its shade, ‘Bridge House School’. Even here there was one rather frightening pleasure, for at morning break we were allowed to play in the long back garden which, on one side, was bounded by a high stone wall - far too high for any child to consider climbing - behind which was a dull incessant roar of rushing water. This was the cut taken from the river to drive the mill’s turbines.
Rapped knuckles
There is little joy in remembering lessons or the age-yellowed posters on the walls filled with various ‘pot-hooks’, to aid us in our copy book writing. However, one lesson stays in my mind, the piano-learning periods taken by the second sister at the school. For some unknown reason my lesson time was the half-hour before school started. It must have been Winter when I had my few lessons, for the room was freezingly cold and the teacher had a long ebony rule to rap any cold fingers which played a wrong note. Woe betide any who quickly removed the erring fingers so that the piano keys received the hit. That meant a double rap. I was fortunate (or so I thought at the time, but now regret it) in having only three lessons before the time came for me to leave for higher education, but I have a strong memory of my elder brother practising at home, playing a wrong note and instinctively drawing away his hands while saying, ‘No’.
Little ‘Gentlemen’ left that school when they reached their eighth year, but the ‘Young Ladies’ continued there up to Matriculation and most did very well in later life, for the whole purpose of the Misses Calder was not merely lessons but the building up of character with the essential ingredient of Faith in God through Jesus Christ and his Church. I thank God for those five years and especially for Miss Florence Calder, God bless her.
Mutability
More than seventy years have passed since those happy days but I re-lived them last year by taking the same route. The change was almost unbelievable for the long street had shrunk into a mere, short cul-de-sac, while the large house looked small enough to house a family of dolls. The empty space was filled with house number twenty eight, and the railway station, though still there, was almost dead. Even the three ‘Conker’ trees had gone. But the walk, now tarred, still leads to the eleven (still steep) steps while the once large station yard is almost completely taken over by a super-market which extends over the tracks thus making a new tunnel. No longer can a child see the passing trains for the open hedges have been replaced by ugly sleepers through which not a glimpse is possible. The latticed bridge is still in place but what child would stand in awe and wonder to see and smell a diesel engine - certainly not one who had experienced the magic of the majestic steam monsters of former years.
Gone all gone
Field Lane is now wrongly named - hardly a sight of grass except for the tidy lawns of the houses which abound everywhere. There is still no pavement and the crossing from path to path is an ever present danger to the unwary. One place will still be there, I thought, for the long green stretch of the rope walk can't have vanished. How foolish can one be! Who wants twisted fibre ropes in these technological days? Vanity of Vanities, all was gone, replaced by a huge car park for the new shopping area. No horses, no dung-pit; no horses, no blacksmith! The Clusters remained with the roads, being private, even more pot-holed than in the days of my youth. The Drill Hall still stands, dilapidated and rather like an old soldier whose usefulness is over.
Down to the main road and the Church with its comfort of changelessness in an ever changing world. No policeman standing to care for the children crossing the now smoothly tarred busy road, but a light controlled pedestrian crossing. And the ‘Triangle’? No beech trees, merely a paved oval with concrete flower stands and a red telephone kiosk. The old mill has been demolished but the ‘New Mill’ still stands solid and ugly as ever, though, while I was staying in the town, its chimney was felled. And what of the school? All gone! Demolished with its lovely front garden another car park. Vanished as though it had never been.
Back to Church Sunday
It is only 13 days to go.
We have a number of people who are not on the roll and they will not know of this great opportunity to return unless we invite them.
Do collect an invitation card from the Welcomers’ Table in the Narthex and invite them now!!! We look forward to welcoming many people on that day.
Our Bishop has requested that we have real coffee for morning tea. Would anyone who has a plunger please bring it with coffee in it so we only have to add the water. Please also put your name on the plunger.

PLEASE RETURN!
Generally speaking, if a parishioner wants to borrow tables, chairs, tableware, glass and plastic ware from the kitchen/hall it is ok, so long as it is recorded in the hall hire book held in the office and returned with 48 - 72 hours. However it is NOT ok to borrow the the green or blue dishwasher trays. These trays were costly to buy and will be very costly to replace. Their absence has caused concern and inconvenience to those who use the kitchen. Their immediate return would be appreciated . S.S.
