Eyeing it up
There are many parts to be scored in a good plow, but all of them are preceeded by two very
important actions: setting the stakes and eyeing up the line, which Blyth resident Lucas
Townsend can be seen doing above at the Huron County Plowing Match last Thursday. The
event was held at the Fear family farm on Clegg Line. (DennyScottphoto)

Let us try and not attend to its gewgaws!
(Mary Winslow)
"They are not of the world any more than I am of the world"
John 17:14
The world and its `nothings' are often a sad snare to God's saints! Oh that
by faith we may overcome it all, and keep close to Jesus! We are not of the
world --let us try and not attend to its gewgaws! Keep a more steadfast,
unwavering eye upon Christ. He has gone a little before us, and stands
beckoning us to follow Him.
Live for eternity! Let go of your hold upon the world! Receive this
exhortation from an aged pilgrim, who, as she nears the solemn scenes of
eternity, and more realizes the inexpressible joys that await us there --is
anxious that all the believers who are traveling the same road might have
their hearts and minds more disentangled from earth and earthly things,
and themselves unreservedly given to Christ. Let us aim in all things to
follow Him who, despising this world's show, left us an example how we
should walk. Have your lamp trimmed and brightly burning, for every day
and every hour brings us nearer and nearer to our eternal home!
"They are not of the world, even as I am not of it." John 17:16

siblings that there are rocks in the
bag. Instead of sharing with their
siblings they lie about what is in the
bag. It is so easy to tell lies but God
wants us to tell the truth and we
learn this in church and Sunday
school.
The scripture reading was from
Luke 13: 10-17. The choir sang the
anthem "How Great Thou Art" with
David Onn singing a solo part.
Rev. Clark's message to the
congregation was "Food for the Soul
- If the Truth be Told." A few years
ago some people tried to get some
books banned from schools. The
books used bad language and the
parents didn't think their children
should be exposed to bad language.
Our culture thinks it is bad to talk
about sex and don't talk to their kids
about sex, therefore the kids grow up
not knowing the meaning of sex and
form their own opinions.
Wisdom is sharing the truth.
People are uncomfortable when they
hear the truth. We should look for
the truth and not dwell on the bad.
Jesus tells us of the bent over lady
who came to see Him and He asked
her to stand with Him and she was
cured and could stand straight. Jesus
healed another woman who was
divorced and the elders of the
synagogue were upset because it was
the sabbath day. Jesus tells the men
that their daughters should have the
same inheritance as did their sons.
He told them they treated their
animals better than their women.
When we strive to tell the truth we
are often asked to change. Jesus tells
us He is the way. We want to be a
people of truth.
The next hymn "Jesus Calls Us"
was sung. The offering was received
followed by the singing of the
response "Your Work 0 God, Needs
Many Hands," the offertory prayer,
the prayers of the people and the
singing of the Lord's Prayer. The last
hymn "Take Up Your Cross"
was sung followed by the
Benediction and the singing of
the response "God Be With You
'Til We Meet Again."
