A New Hymn.  The Musgrave Road church of the Berea Congregational Church in Durban has been our church home away from home since soon after we got to Durban.  The minister, Robin Thompson, preached a Whitsuntide series including one sermon based on Galatians 5:22-23, Paul's catalog of the 'fruits of the spirit.'  The next day, Jan had to stay behind at our flat to await a visit from the plumbers, and in the time provided, was able to come up with the words and music for a new hymn, which you can hear and see the text and music for, below.  It had its premiere at Musgrave on July 30.  We hope it speaks to you as well. -- JTH and RaH.
