(J.R. Miller,“Intimate Letters on Personal Problems” 1914) “God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.” 1Thessalonians 4:7 I know Christians who are not brilliant, who never do any great things--but whose lives are so true, so consistent, so Christlike, that wherever they go, they carry in their very presence a bit of heavenly sunshine. Concerning one of these, a friend said a few years ago, standing by the coffin of the young woman who had been called home, “Wherever she went, flowers grew in her pathway, and the air was always sweeter when she entered the room.” This is true of certain lives, even apart from what they do. Of course, it is the godly life and character which makes the pleasant face, and which gives to the presence its strange power. May God give you grace always to be a blessing wherever you go, not only in the things you do and the things you say--but still more in the sweet and quiet influence of your life. “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewellery and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight!” 1 Peter 3:3-4 “Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12 A Grace Gem Submitted by: Immanuel United Reformed Church, Listowel, ON 519-291-1956 Rewarding her work Barb Bosman, left, was presented with her plaque honouring her as this year’s Citizen of the Year for Blyth and its surrounding communities. Bosman was named Citizen of the Year, an award given annually by The Citizen and its parent company North Huron Publishing, earlier this year for her extensive work throughout the community. Presenting Bosman with the award last week was Lois van Vliet, a member of the company’s board of directors.

As part of a decision made by the Canada Post Corporation, the post office, which has faced closure before, will have its daily hours changed and no longer be open on Saturdays. Previously, the site was open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. The new hours will see it open later and close sooner most days. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday the post office will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday it will be open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The office will not be open on Saturdays. North Huron Council previously discussed the issue, and, while no one was happy about it, Councillor Brock Vodden mentioned a reduction in hours is preferable to losing the office altogether.
