00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:02.639
God<00:10:57.940><c> will</c><00:10:58.179><c> make</c><00:10:58.440><c> the</c><00:10:58.700><c> necessary</c><00:10:59.240><c> provision</c><00:10:59.879><c> if</c><00:11:00.580><c> you</c><00:11:00.899><c> get</c><00:11:01.399><c> your</c>

00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.700
Because<00:11:06.120><c> after</c><00:11:06.539><c> all,</c><00:11:06.740><c> Jesus</c><00:11:07.080><c> said,</c><00:11:08.580><c> you</c><00:11:08.720><c> can't</c><00:11:09.080><c> by</c><00:11:09.360><c> worrying</c>

00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:16.659
you<00:11:13.360><c> can't</c><00:11:13.759><c> add</c><00:11:14.080><c> a</c><00:11:14.340><c> single</c><00:11:14.840><c> centimeter</c><00:11:15.440><c> by</c><00:11:15.779><c> anxiety.</c>

00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:23.360
So<00:11:17.779><c> don't</c><00:11:18.159><c> be</c><00:11:18.419><c> obsessed</c><00:11:20.000><c> with</c><00:11:20.340><c> these</c><00:11:20.700><c> earthly</c><00:11:21.240><c> cares,</c><00:11:22.620><c> the</c><00:11:22.820><c> things</c><00:11:23.139><c> of</c>

00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:36.120
And<00:11:32.419><c> look</c><00:11:32.559><c> at</c><00:11:32.679><c> the</c><00:11:32.799><c> birds</c><00:11:33.100><c> of</c><00:11:33.320><c> the</c><00:11:33.559><c> air,</c><00:11:33.860><c> he</c><00:11:34.000><c> says</c><00:11:34.279><c> in</c><00:11:34.460><c> verse</c><00:11:34.740><c> 26.</c>

00:11:37.580 --> 00:11:41.190

00:11:44.259 --> 00:11:47.779
Are<00:11:44.860><c> ye</c><00:11:45.200><c> not</c><00:11:45.480><c> much</c><00:11:45.960><c> better</c><00:11:46.419><c> than</c><00:11:46.720><c> they?</c>

00:11:48.419 --> 00:11:50.919
Now<00:11:48.580><c> what</c><00:11:48.840><c> a</c><00:11:49.059><c> lesson</c><00:11:49.299><c> for</c><00:11:49.539><c> human</c><00:11:49.860><c> beings.</c>

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:55.200
Are<00:11:51.919><c> ye</c><00:11:52.220><c> not</c><00:11:52.620><c> much</c><00:11:53.139><c> better</c><00:11:53.679><c> than</c><00:11:53.919><c> they?</c>

00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.899
Sometimes<00:11:56.179><c> wonder</c><00:11:56.480><c> whether</c><00:11:56.679><c> we</c><00:11:56.840><c> are</c><00:11:57.100><c> really,</c><00:11:57.600><c> brethren</c><00:11:57.779><c> and</c><00:11:58.019><c> sisters.</c>

00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.580
But<00:11:59.299><c> then</c><00:11:59.559><c> that's</c><00:11:59.840><c> the</c><00:11:59.980><c> challenge</c><00:12:00.419><c> of</c><00:12:00.620><c> Jesus'</c><00:12:01.360><c> words,</c><00:12:01.519><c> isn't</c><00:12:01.679><c> it?</c>

00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.860
The<00:12:03.259><c> birds</c><00:12:03.500><c> don't</c><00:12:03.799><c> spend</c><00:12:04.120><c> their</c><00:12:04.399><c> lives</c><00:12:04.759><c> worrying,</c>

00:12:06.139 --> 00:12:08.519

00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:10.580
they<00:12:08.860><c> sing</c><00:12:09.100><c> their</c><00:12:09.340><c> songs</c><00:12:09.740><c> from</c><00:12:10.000><c> the</c><00:12:10.240><c> heart,</c>

00:12:10.580 --> 00:12:13.720
they<00:12:11.240><c> cheer</c><00:12:11.620><c> the</c><00:12:11.840><c> human</c><00:12:12.159><c> race,</c><00:12:12.700><c> they're</c><00:12:12.759><c> doing</c><00:12:12.980><c> exactly</c><00:12:13.500><c> what</c>

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.220
God<00:12:13.960><c> requires</c><00:12:14.480><c> of</c><00:12:14.679><c> them.</c>

00:12:16.539 --> 00:12:20.700
But<00:12:16.720><c> as</c><00:12:17.000><c> someone</c><00:12:17.299><c> once</c><00:12:17.659><c> remarked,</c><00:12:19.200><c> although</c><00:12:19.399><c> God</c><00:12:19.659><c> feeds</c><00:12:20.019><c> the</c><00:12:20.279><c> birds,</c>

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:23.259
he<00:12:20.840><c> doesn't</c><00:12:21.139><c> put</c><00:12:21.360><c> the</c><00:12:21.580><c> food</c><00:12:21.720><c> into</c><00:12:21.980><c> their</c><00:12:22.200><c> mouths.</c>

00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:28.139
He<00:12:24.259><c> uses</c><00:12:24.659><c> the</c><00:12:24.919><c> processes</c><00:12:25.440><c> of</c><00:12:25.759><c> nature,</c><00:12:26.279><c> the</c><00:12:26.440><c> laws</c><00:12:26.679><c> which</c><00:12:26.879><c> he</c><00:12:27.039><c> has</c><00:12:27.220><c> set</c><00:12:27.399><c> in</c><00:12:27.720><c> place,</c>

00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:30.480
to<00:12:28.820><c> provide</c><00:12:29.179><c> for</c><00:12:29.320><c> them,</c><00:12:29.480><c> but</c><00:12:29.620><c> they've</c><00:12:29.840><c> still</c><00:12:29.980><c> got</c><00:12:30.120><c> to</c><00:12:30.279><c> go</c><00:12:30.340><c> out</c>

00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:34.840
So<00:12:32.919><c> don't</c><00:12:33.139><c> presume</c><00:12:33.480><c> that</c><00:12:33.679><c> God</c><00:12:33.820><c> is</c><00:12:34.039><c> going</c><00:12:34.139><c> to</c><00:12:34.320><c> do</c><00:12:34.440><c> everything</c>

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.639
You'll<00:12:40.679><c> be</c><00:12:40.759><c> waiting</c><00:12:41.059><c> a</c><00:12:41.179><c> long</c><00:12:41.519><c> time,</c><00:12:41.879><c> in</c><00:12:42.019><c> my</c><00:12:42.299><c> experience.</c>

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.360
We<00:12:45.860><c> still</c><00:12:46.279><c> have</c><00:12:46.580><c> to</c><00:12:46.759><c> do</c><00:12:46.940><c> our</c><00:12:47.340><c> part</c><00:12:47.639><c> faithfully.</c>

00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:55.639
Nevertheless,<00:12:51.480><c> the</c><00:12:51.559><c> main</c><00:12:51.960><c> thrust</c><00:12:52.419><c> of</c><00:12:52.620><c> Jesus'</c><00:12:53.080><c> advice</c><00:12:53.700><c> is</c><00:12:54.000><c> that</c><00:12:54.240><c> anxiety</c><00:12:55.100><c> will</c><00:12:55.440><c> get</c>

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:22.120
Now,<00:13:19.779><c> that's</c><00:13:20.259><c> a</c><00:13:20.480><c> good</c><00:13:20.639><c> recipe</c><00:13:21.039><c> for</c><00:13:21.259><c> worries,</c><00:13:21.759><c> isn't</c><00:13:21.919><c> it?</c>

00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.419
That's<00:13:22.580><c> good,</c><00:13:23.059><c> sound</c><00:13:23.500><c> advice</c><00:13:24.139><c> from</c><00:13:24.820><c> the</c><00:13:25.000><c> Son</c><00:13:25.159><c> of</c><00:13:25.399><c> God.</c>

00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.000
It<00:13:26.720><c> isn't</c><00:13:27.000><c> saying</c><00:13:27.360><c> to</c><00:13:27.539><c> people,</c><00:13:28.259><c> oh,</c><00:13:28.559><c> you</c><00:13:28.799><c> shouldn't</c><00:13:29.059><c> be</c><00:13:29.379><c> anxious,</c><00:13:29.799><c> you</c>

Getting<00:16:26.799><c> our</c><00:16:27.440><c> spiritual</c><00:16:28.179><c> growth</c><00:16:28.659><c> right</c><00:16:29.220><c> is</c><00:16:30.139><c> surely</c><00:16:30.379><c> what</c>

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:32.259
really<00:16:30.960><c> matters.</c>

00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.100
Now,<00:16:34.559><c> the</c><00:16:34.679><c> lilies,</c><00:16:35.000><c> I</c><00:16:35.340><c> understand,</c><00:16:36.259><c> does</c><00:16:36.399><c> not</c><00:16:36.580><c> refer</c><00:16:36.860><c> to</c><00:16:36.940><c> what</c>

00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:39.299
we<00:16:37.340><c> might</c><00:16:37.559><c> think</c><00:16:37.820><c> of</c><00:16:37.960><c> when</c><00:16:38.100><c> we</c><00:16:38.360><c> speak</c><00:16:38.539><c> of</c><00:16:38.799><c> lilies.</c>

00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:43.039
Things<00:16:39.820><c> like</c><00:16:40.240><c> arum</c><00:16:40.720><c> lilies,</c><00:16:41.639><c> pond</c><00:16:41.840><c> lilies</c><00:16:42.259><c> and</c><00:16:42.539><c> the</c><00:16:42.679><c> like.</c>

00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:49.419
But<00:16:44.220><c> he's</c><00:16:45.200><c> referring</c><00:16:45.559><c> to</c><00:16:45.779><c> a</c><00:16:45.960><c> species</c><00:16:46.299><c> of</c><00:16:46.639><c> wild</c><00:16:47.039><c> flower,</c><00:16:47.679><c> common</c><00:16:47.980><c> in</c><00:16:48.159><c> the</c><00:16:48.340><c> land</c><00:16:48.539><c> of</c><00:16:48.759><c> Israel.</c>

00:16:49.860 --> 00:16:53.480
Probably,<00:16:50.440><c> they</c><00:16:50.779><c> think,</c><00:16:51.519><c> wild</c><00:16:52.000><c> anemones.</c>

00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:57.059
And<00:16:54.320><c> it's</c><00:16:54.440><c> quite</c><00:16:54.700><c> possible</c><00:16:55.220><c> that</c><00:16:55.559><c> Jesus</c><00:16:56.019><c> pointed</c><00:16:56.379><c> to</c><00:16:56.659><c> a</c><00:16:56.879><c> patch</c>

00:16:57.059 --> 00:16:58.720
of<00:16:57.240><c> those</c><00:16:57.500><c> exquisite</c><00:16:57.940><c> little</c><00:16:58.299><c> blooms</c>

00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:02.179
or<00:16:58.960><c> picked</c><00:16:59.259><c> one</c><00:16:59.539><c> and</c><00:16:59.759><c> held</c><00:16:59.940><c> it</c><00:17:00.159><c> up</c><00:17:00.480><c> and</c><00:17:01.279><c> said,</c><00:17:01.639><c> look</c><00:17:01.759><c> at</c><00:17:02.000><c> that,</c>

00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.059
isn't<00:17:02.519><c> it</c><00:17:02.919><c> beautiful?</c>

00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:07.460
Consider<00:17:05.599><c> how</c><00:17:05.940><c> it</c><00:17:06.099><c> has</c><00:17:06.259><c> been</c><00:17:06.640><c> produced.</c>

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:12.559
It<00:17:08.420><c> hasn't</c><00:17:09.099><c> worried</c><00:17:09.559><c> itself</c><00:17:10.180><c> into</c><00:17:10.559><c> glorious</c><00:17:11.119><c> existence.</c>

00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:16.579
God's<00:17:13.859><c> processes</c><00:17:14.480><c> have</c><00:17:14.839><c> developed</c><00:17:15.319><c> that.</c>

00:17:17.140 --> 00:17:18.880
Isn't<00:17:17.400><c> it</c><00:17:17.720><c> exquisite?</c>

00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:23.039
They<00:17:20.339><c> toil</c><00:17:20.680><c> not,</c><00:17:21.160><c> neither</c><00:17:21.460><c> do</c><00:17:21.660><c> they</c><00:17:22.019><c> spin.</c>

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:26.640
And<00:17:23.680><c> it's</c><00:17:23.900><c> been</c><00:17:24.200><c> suggested</c><00:17:24.799><c> that</c><00:17:25.140><c> there</c><00:17:25.420><c> are</c><00:17:25.579><c> the</c><00:17:25.759><c> men</c><00:17:25.900><c> and</c><00:17:26.119><c> women</c><00:17:26.440><c> in</c>

00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:28.940
this<00:17:26.940><c> figure</c><00:17:27.160><c> which</c><00:17:27.380><c> he</c><00:17:27.599><c> is</c><00:17:28.000><c> employing.</c>

00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.779

00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:33.519
Well,<00:17:32.099><c> that's</c><00:17:32.440><c> the</c><00:17:32.680><c> theory.</c>

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.519
They<00:17:34.720><c> toil</c><00:17:35.079><c> not,</c><00:17:35.400><c> neither</c><00:17:35.720><c> do</c><00:17:35.900><c> they</c><00:17:36.160><c> spin.</c>

00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:40.339
Yet<00:17:36.779><c> I</c><00:17:37.019><c> say</c><00:17:37.200><c> unto</c><00:17:37.400><c> you</c><00:17:37.559><c> that</c><00:17:37.759><c> even</c><00:17:38.099><c> Solomon</c><00:17:38.460><c> in</c><00:17:38.720><c> all</c><00:17:39.180><c> his</c><00:17:39.539><c> glory</c>

wasn't<00:17:41.059><c> arrayed</c><00:17:41.640><c> like</c><00:17:42.019><c> one</c><00:17:42.359><c> of</c><00:17:42.619><c> these.</c>

00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.680
So,<00:17:45.140><c> consider</c><00:17:45.700><c> the</c><00:17:45.960><c> lesson</c><00:17:46.339><c> carefully.</c>

00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:54.380
Well,<00:17:49.880><c> how</c><00:17:50.200><c> does</c><00:17:51.039><c> a</c><00:17:51.339><c> beautiful</c><00:17:52.119><c> flower</c><00:17:52.539><c> grow,</c><00:17:53.099><c> brethren</c><00:17:53.259><c> and</c><00:17:53.500><c> sisters?</c>

00:17:54.859 --> 00:17:58.220
First<00:17:55.200><c> of</c><00:17:55.460><c> all,</c><00:17:55.819><c> you</c><00:17:55.980><c> have</c><00:17:56.259><c> to</c><00:17:56.400><c> have</c><00:17:56.579><c> the</c><00:17:56.799><c> right</c><00:17:57.200><c> seed.</c>

00:17:58.660 --> 00:18:00.799
And<00:17:58.920><c> secondly,</c><00:17:59.220><c> you</c><00:17:59.339><c> have</c><00:17:59.539><c> to</c><00:17:59.619><c> have</c><00:17:59.740><c> the</c><00:17:59.880><c> right</c><00:18:00.140><c> conditions,</c>

00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:02.000
don't<00:18:01.160><c> you?</c>

00:18:02.299 --> 00:18:08.140
Given<00:18:03.019><c> right</c><00:18:03.619><c> seed</c><00:18:03.960><c> and</c><00:18:04.279><c> right</c><00:18:04.539><c> conditions,</c><00:18:05.920><c> a</c><00:18:06.039><c> plant</c><00:18:06.400><c> will</c><00:18:07.000><c> grow.</c>

00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:12.099
And<00:18:08.539><c> it</c><00:18:08.640><c> will</c><00:18:08.940><c> produce</c><00:18:09.400><c> beautiful</c><00:18:10.240><c> blooms</c><00:18:11.039><c> because</c><00:18:11.420><c> God</c><00:18:11.799><c> has</c>

00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:13.960
ordained<00:18:12.599><c> it</c><00:18:12.940><c> so.</c>

00:18:15.099 --> 00:18:20.259
And<00:18:15.299><c> that</c><00:18:15.539><c> brings</c><00:18:15.859><c> us</c><00:18:16.220><c> to</c><00:18:16.380><c> our</c><00:18:16.640><c> old</c><00:18:17.059><c> friend's</c><00:18:17.819><c> heredity</c><00:18:18.480><c> and</c><00:18:19.000><c> environment.</c>

00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:25.240

Well,<00:18:56.619><c> they're</c><00:18:56.759><c> both</c><00:18:57.039><c> important,</c><00:18:57.640><c> of</c><00:18:57.900><c> course.</c>

which<00:19:20.559><c> is</c><00:19:20.720><c> built</c><00:19:20.920><c> into</c><00:19:21.160><c> the</c><00:19:21.400><c> structure</c><00:19:21.680><c> of</c><00:19:21.920><c> our</c><00:19:22.160><c> genes.</c>

00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.779
Now<00:19:23.720><c> perhaps</c><00:19:24.059><c> even</c><00:19:24.359><c> that</c><00:19:24.640><c> statement</c><00:19:25.039><c> in</c><00:19:25.200><c> the</c><00:19:25.359><c> modern</c><00:19:25.539><c> world</c>

00:19:25.779 --> 00:19:26.819
needs<00:19:26.079><c> qualification</c>

00:19:26.819 --> 00:19:29.559
because<00:19:27.119><c> it</c><00:19:27.339><c> may</c><00:19:27.500><c> well</c><00:19:27.799><c> be</c><00:19:28.279><c> with</c><00:19:28.539><c> genetic</c><00:19:28.960><c> engineering,</c>

00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:33.579
but<00:19:29.960><c> very</c><00:19:30.359><c> soon</c><00:19:30.579><c> we</c><00:19:30.920><c> can</c><00:19:31.279><c> change</c><00:19:31.700><c> the</c><00:19:31.960><c> structure</c><00:19:32.339><c> of</c><00:19:32.920><c> genes</c><00:19:33.220><c> of</c>

future<00:19:33.799><c> generations.</c>

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:39.079
Nevertheless,<00:19:36.680><c> for</c><00:19:36.720><c> the</c><00:19:36.980><c> present</c><00:19:37.559><c> audience</c><00:19:38.339><c> sitting</c><00:19:38.720><c> in</c>

this<00:19:39.380><c> hall,</c>

00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:43.240
there<00:19:39.920><c> is</c><00:19:40.220><c> nothing</c><00:19:40.579><c> you</c><00:19:40.900><c> can</c><00:19:41.240><c> do</c><00:19:41.500><c> to</c><00:19:41.779><c> change</c><00:19:42.319><c> the</c><00:19:42.779><c> structure</c>

00:19:46.579 --> 00:19:50.140
But<00:19:47.200><c> there</c><00:19:47.359><c> is</c><00:19:47.619><c> something</c><00:19:47.900><c> you</c><00:19:48.059><c> can</c><00:19:48.279><c> do</c><00:19:48.440><c> about</c><00:19:48.720><c> your</c><00:19:49.000><c> environment.</c>

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.279
In<00:19:51.599><c> the</c><00:19:51.839><c> early</c><00:19:52.160><c> or</c><00:19:52.440><c> formative</c><00:19:52.920><c> years,</c><00:19:53.519><c> the</c><00:19:53.579><c> environment</c><00:19:54.019><c> is</c>

00:19:56.380 --> 00:20:00.940

00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:04.579
We<00:20:01.619><c> choose</c><00:20:01.880><c> our</c><00:20:02.240><c> friends,</c><00:20:03.359><c> we</c><00:20:03.539><c> choose</c><00:20:03.839><c> the</c><00:20:04.039><c> kind</c><00:20:04.259><c> of</c><00:20:04.440><c> things</c>

00:20:04.579 --> 00:20:05.940
that<00:20:04.779><c> we're</c><00:20:04.960><c> going</c><00:20:05.140><c> to</c><00:20:05.480><c> do,</c>

00:20:09.299 --> 00:20:13.440
And<00:20:09.579><c> gradually</c><00:20:10.000><c> as</c><00:20:10.259><c> we</c><00:20:10.500><c> go</c><00:20:10.759><c> through</c><00:20:11.059><c> life,</c><00:20:12.019><c> we</c><00:20:12.259><c> are</c><00:20:12.779><c> selecting</c>

00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.579
And<00:20:22.579><c> of</c><00:20:22.720><c> course</c><00:20:22.839><c> what</c><00:20:23.039><c> Jesus</c><00:20:23.359><c> is</c><00:20:23.660><c> saying</c><00:20:23.859><c> to</c><00:20:24.140><c> us</c><00:20:24.779><c> is</c><00:20:25.099><c> that</c><00:20:25.220><c> there</c><00:20:25.359><c> are</c>

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:40.220
And<00:20:37.960><c> if</c><00:20:38.099><c> you've</c><00:20:38.339><c> received</c><00:20:38.640><c> the</c><00:20:38.779><c> Word</c><00:20:39.019><c> of</c><00:20:39.180><c> God</c><00:20:39.420><c> into</c><00:20:39.700><c> your</c><00:20:39.980><c> life</c>

00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:52.660
But<00:20:47.480><c> thereafter,</c><00:20:49.740><c> much</c><00:20:49.940><c> depends</c><00:20:50.420><c> upon</c><00:20:50.720><c> the</c><00:20:51.059><c> environmental</c><00:20:51.579><c> factor,</c>

00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:08.980

the<00:21:09.200><c> rest,</c>

00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:12.700
and<00:21:10.400><c> the</c><00:21:10.579><c> plant</c><00:21:10.839><c> will</c><00:21:11.200><c> grow</c><00:21:11.440><c> to</c><00:21:11.720><c> perfection.</c>

00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:14.700
That's<00:21:13.279><c> what</c><00:21:13.400><c> he's</c><00:21:13.599><c> telling</c><00:21:13.839><c> us.</c>

00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:18.759
Now,<00:21:16.880><c> the</c><00:21:16.960><c> late</c><00:21:17.200><c> Brother</c><00:21:17.400><c> Dennis</c><00:21:17.759><c> Gillett</c><00:21:18.019><c> had</c><00:21:18.220><c> a</c><00:21:18.380><c> delightful</c>

00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.559
It's<00:21:29.599><c> the</c><00:21:29.759><c> story</c><00:21:30.000><c> about</c><00:21:30.339><c> a</c><00:21:30.579><c> vicar</c><00:21:30.960><c> who</c><00:21:32.099><c> inherited</c><00:21:32.480><c> a</c><00:21:32.779><c> country</c><00:21:33.099><c> parish,</c>

00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:38.420
the<00:21:36.640><c> churchyard</c><00:21:37.180><c> was</c><00:21:37.380><c> in</c><00:21:37.500><c> a</c><00:21:37.660><c> terrible</c><00:21:37.940><c> state,</c>

00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:41.359
full<00:21:39.119><c> of</c><00:21:39.380><c> weeds</c><00:21:39.660><c> and</c><00:21:39.880><c> all</c><00:21:40.140><c> overgrown.</c>

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:44.180
So<00:21:42.259><c> he</c><00:21:42.720><c> spoke</c><00:21:43.000><c> to</c><00:21:43.140><c> the</c><00:21:43.319><c> parish</c><00:21:43.599><c> council,</c>

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:48.079
and<00:21:44.420><c> they</c><00:21:44.680><c> decided</c><00:21:45.079><c> to</c><00:21:45.339><c> employ</c><00:21:45.599><c> an</c><00:21:45.799><c> old</c><00:21:46.000><c> man</c><00:21:46.259><c> from</c><00:21:46.460><c> the</c><00:21:46.680><c> village</c><00:21:47.099><c> to</c><00:21:47.680><c> clean</c><00:21:47.859><c> it</c>

00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:53.779

Somewhere<00:23:48.660><c> amongst</c><00:23:49.059><c> those</c><00:23:49.400><c> ingredients</c><00:23:49.940><c> we</c><00:23:50.200><c> still</c><00:23:50.460><c> need</c><00:23:50.660><c> the</c>

00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:06.019

That's<00:33:06.619><c> the</c><00:33:06.859><c> point.</c>

00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:11.220
Her<00:33:08.279><c> beauty</c><00:33:08.619><c> is</c><00:33:08.940><c> not</c><00:33:09.160><c> a</c><00:33:09.400><c> self</c><00:33:09.660><c>-conscious</c><00:33:10.099><c> self</c><00:33:10.480><c>-appraisal,</c>

00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:18.480

That's<00:33:50.900><c> true,</c><00:33:51.220><c> isn't</c><00:33:51.339><c> it?</c>

00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:54.359
