Margaret Ann, daughter of William and Hazel Dalrymple of RR3 Blyth and Hebo Siertsema, son of Albert and Jacobmina Siertsema of Blyth were married on July 4, 1959 at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Blyth. The service was presided over by Rev. D.J. Lane and attendants were Shirley Wood (Patterson), Jean Horton (Rathwell), Betty Baker (Siertsema), Murray Siertsema, John Siertsema and Alan Dalrymple, who is since deceased. After the wedding, before the Siertsemas settled down at their home in RR3 Blyth, they headed to Alberta for the Calgary Stampede for their honeymoon. On the trip back, they travelled through the U.S. Hebo began farming and driving a milk truck, while Margaret was a nurse at Wingham hospital. Margaret is now semi-retired from nursing, a decision she made in 2001. The pair had four children: Jean Bennett, Alan Siertsema, Ken Siertsema and Bruce Siertsema. They also have 11 grandchildren. Over the years the Siertsemas have occupied their time by going camping, hunting and travelling. Margaret is a member of the Majestic Women’s Institute in Auburn and she drives on a volunteer basis for Town and Country. Guests at the anniversary celebration travelled from as far as Winnipeg, Ohio, Michigan, Beaverton, Walkerton, London and Bayfield. At the celebration, members of the family were all home and had a picture taken while the grandchildren made stepping stones and an arch for the celebration. Anniversary Hebo and Margaret Siertsema celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last weekend in Westfield with friends and family travelling from western Canada and the U.S. to be there. (Shawn Loughlin photo) Continued from page 20 of rejecting him. “If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed. Like the nations before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the Lord your God.” (Verses 19-20). Our personal responsibility is to understand our times and obey God in the midst of our times. Even though our culture says one thing, it takes a tremendous amount of energy to go in another direction. Do we pay a price to have that privilege? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely! Friends, we have to be aware of the culture we are living in. If God is important to us, then we have to wrestle with how we can honour him. The education of our children is very important. Can a Christian thrive in an institution that wants to be godless? Yes! On the other hand, it is also true that students lose their faith while receiving their education in institutions where God is not honoured. What is our responsibility collectively? II Chronicles 7:14 says God gives us the way back to him. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” I yearn for the day that God of the Bible will be acknowledged as the Creator and as Almighty God. The example Abraham Lincoln gave us of a proclamation during the Civil War in the U.S.A. is amazing that showed a respect for God and a dependence on him. What would Canadians do if the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, issued such a proclamation today? I hope I am wrong, but I could see a talk show host tearing him apart and calling him old fashioned, and the public paying no heed to the proclamation. The universe is established with God in control and he establishes those in authority that he chooses. We cannot get rid of God and when we reject him, we suffer the consequences. God’s grace flows when there is repentance.
