Heir is played every Wednesday
ni^ht at Memorial Hall.
Several Blyth-area singeis went
with the choir from Central Huron
Secondary School inClinton toa
choral workshop in Toronto on
Friday and Saturday. Attending
were Craig and Heather Bauman,
Gayle and Elaine Poore, Fred Peel,
Heather McDonald, Julie Howson
and Christina Roulston.
Evalena Webster and Evelyn
Smith conducted the worship
service. Its theme was “Joy” as
portrayed in the Easter festival and
in the first 10 verses of Matthew
read by Evelyn. Mrs. Webster’s
meditation expressed a wish that
thejoy thatthe early Christians
experienced on seeing their risen
Lord when hope for immortality
had become a reality might be
recaptured by Christians of our
time.
An 11 -voice ladies’ choir render
ed two numbers for which Margar
et Kai, choir conductor, provided
piano accompaniment.
The speaker Alma Langford,
U.C.W. President of Huron-Perth
Presbytery, in her Lenten Medita
tion had her listeners follow Jesus
as he walked the road to Easter
from Jerusalem to Calvary. Mrs.
Langford’s inspirational commen
tary on six events during this time
known as Holy Week, and her
making possible for the audience to
sing a selected verse from hymns
pertaining to each event added to
its spiritual meaning.
She pointed out the practical
value of the Gethsemane event, -
the necessity of seeking out a quiet
place, alone, where one can pour
out one’s soul to the Father as
Jesus did. Even one minute
vacations are valuable. Examples:
To take time out to gaze at a flower,
to pat a dog, to read justa few pages
ofa good book have infinite value in
withstanding the pressures of the
day.
President Susan Howson thank
ed Alma Langford for her inspira-
tional message and for the kind
ness she had done for not only
Bly th U.C.W. but also for voluntar
ily coming to the rescue of past
president Grace Pym, the schedul-
edspeaker, whose husband was
seriously ill.
Susan extended an invitation for
all to enjoy fellowship following the
service, and refreshments provid
ed by the Evening unit.
