Open for business
After a devastating fire closed the Blyth Corner Café, owner Tracy Cook says the restaurant
in downtown Blyth is ready for business. Having opened earlier this week, Cook says the only
change will be its 6 a.m. opening time, moved from 6:30 a.m. (Denny Scott photo)

We thank everyone for their
concern for Mom’s well being.
Thank you for your cards, inquiries
and prayers.
She is in Clinton Hospital, but this
week could see her coming home
where she will be able to talk to
people by phone. We are now trying
to get her home, ready for a walker
and equipped with what she will
need to make this transition possible.
Although the road to recovery will
still be long, she is slowly and
steadily headed in the right direction
and this is another huge step down
that road. Who knows, by next week
she may be back to writing this
column on her own, we’ll see.
Don’t forget about the blood donor
clinic at the arena on Friday, July 23.
Summer holidays always mean
blood shortages, as well as more
demand due to accidents. Blyth
pleasantly surprised the Red Cross
last year by exceeding its goal, so
let’s make sure that we do the same
this year, to show them that we may
be small, but we are very supportive
of worthwhile causes in our
community.
Welcome home to Nancy McInnes
who has been visiting with her
father Dan in his new apartment.
This was her first trip from
Hamilton after receiving treatment
for cancer. She has enjoyed several
days of catching up with friends and
family.
If you want to add something to
From Marilyn’s Desk you can still
leave it on Mom’s answering
machine, or call Fred at Tasty Treats
To Go Or Stay and leave a message.
Happy birthday to Hayden
Diebold who celebrates on July 25
and Kelsey Kerr who celebrates on
July 28.
Fred and I celebrate our 17th
anniversary on July 24.
BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
Rev. Gary Clark welcomed
everyone and made the
announcements. The choir sang their
anthem. The first hymn, “This is the
Day” was followed by the call to
worship.
Children’s time was followed by
the second hymn, “I Am Walking On
the Path of Peace”. SCripture was
from Galatians 5: 23-26. Gary’s
Message, “Oxygen Level: Spiritual
Health” was the fourth in his Vital
Signs Series.
The next hymn was, “Give To Us
Laughter”. This was followed by the
offering, the offertory hymn,
offertory prayer, prayers for the
world and The Lord’s Prayer.
The last hymn, “I Danced in the
Morning” was followed by the
Commissioning and Benediction
and Go Now In Peace.
Next on the list for the catering
committee is a large wedding in
Bayfield on August 7. Sharon is
needing kitchen help for washing
and chopping on August 6 at 9 a.m.
at the church. Give her a call if you
can help out at 519-523-9451.
Don’t forget Vacation Bible
School July 26-30 at the Christian
Reformed Church. I am sure that
they would still take help if anyone
has the time that week. Let Hillie
Blok or Lorna Fraser know.
Glad Days are coming to Blyth on
August 5 and 6 at the Canada Post
Office.
Glad Days, started by Beth Parker,
a woman living with epilepsy, offer
a chance for the public to support
local epileptics and educate local
citizens about the condition through
the purchase of gladioli.
The event is held throughout
Canada to heighten public
recognition of epilepsy.
All funds raised in a particular
community remain in the
community in which they are
raised.
One bunch, five stems of gladioli,
costs $5 and two bunches cost $9.

Something peculiar, distinct, and different from other people
(J.C. Ryle, “Old Paths”)
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new
has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17
Does anyone ask me what we may expect to see in a true conversion? I reply —
there will always be something seen in a converted man’s...character, feelings,
conduct, opinions and daily life.
You will not see perfection in him; but you will see in him —something peculiar,
distinct, and different from other people.
You will see him... hating sin, loving Christ, following after holiness, taking
pleasure in his Bible, persevering in prayer.
You will see him... penitent, humble, believing, temperate, charitable, truthful,
good-tempered, patient, upright, honourable, kind.
These, at any rate, will be his aims — these are the things which he will follow
after, however short he may come of perfection.
In some converted people you will see these things more distinctly — in others
less. This only I say — wherever there is true conversion, something of this kind
will be seen.
