Blyth couple marks anniversary
On May 27, 1939 Harold Camp
bell and Adeline Cardiff were
united in marriage in the living
room of her parents’ home which
had been decorated with mauve
lilacs.
Adeline was the only child of
Mabel and William Cardiff and
Harold, the youngest of four was
the son of Jane and George
Campbell. As his mother passed
away when he was two years of
age, he was raised by his grand-
parents, the Rev. and Mrs. John
Hutton of Bluevale.
The couple lived on the Cardiff
farm with Adeline’s parents for
nine years and their three eldest
children were born there. They
moved to Blyth in 1948, after which
their youngest child was born.
They have operated a transport
business for 41 years along with
Harold’s brother John and his wife
Fran. John retired in 1979 and
Harold’s son Bill came in to the
Bev. Roberts preaches
sermon on 'finishing'
Continued from page 8
The congregation stood to ac
knowledge its acceptance and plea
sure in receiving the two Belgrave
residents as members of the
church.
Mr. Roberts read scripture pass
age, St. John 19: 17-30. He centred
his remarks on “When Jesis there
fore received the vinegar, he said
‘It is finished’; and he bowed his
head, and gave up the ghost.”
“It is finished” were Jesus’ final
words. These words have been
used as a basis, in previous
sermons delivered by the minister.
He, although retiring from the
ministry, is not finished with
preaching. “It is finished” are
forceful words; not just a mere
statement. Preaching may be end
ed but not finished. It may be
compared to woodwork which is
constructed, then must be finished
by coatings of varnish. Finishing is
the hard part. Words may be
ended, but must be completed.
Jesus’ pilgrimage was completed -
finished. Ours may be completed;
but maybe not ended.
Often man’s pilgrimage is side
tracked or hesitant. We don’t live
up to our possibilities. There may
be gaps between what we ought to
have done and what we did. But bv
the grace of God the gap will be
filled by faith, grace and love. To
do better is our goal. Our challenge
is to fill the gaps in the work which
we have started.
Finally, the cost must be paid.
The bill is rendered; the price must
be paid. The cost may be in failure,
fear or uncertainty. Often we fail to
pay the full price. Jesus’ cost was
paid in full. The cross demonstrat

went to touch our souls and spirits.
Only Jesus could say “It is finish

business with his father.
Fifty years after their marriage,
on the same day, their family
honoured their parents with a
dinner for family, friends and
business associates, and with an
open reception later in the evening
with Wilbee’s orchestra in attend
ance.
The auditorium was decorated in
mauve and gold featuring table
centres of mauve lilacs and gold
ribbon. The console set on the head
table which had belonged to the
bride’s mother, held lilacs and gold
candles.
Dwight Campbell was master of
ceremonies and spoke of past
happenings along with his sister
Frances, brother Bill and cousin
Harold. Murray Cardiff also spoke
briefly and presented the couple
with congratulations from the
Prime Minister and from himself.
The couple has four children, Bill
of Blyth, Dwight of Truro, Nova
Scotia, Nancy Pawitch and Frances
Bearss, both of Blyth. They have 11
grandchildren and six great-grand
children. Guests were present from
surrounding areas, Orillia, Toron
to, Truro, Dartmouth, and Halifax,
Nova Scotia.
The 4H girls and their leaders
also attended. They have jusl
finished a course “Working With
Wool”. They had their work books,
also some articles which they had
made with wool.
The members then watched a
short movie. It was how wool is
handled at Bainton’s Old Mill
downtown Blyth, from the time the
sheep is sheared, to the finished
product, whether it is sheepskin
rugs or coats, blankets, gloves or
bales of wool sent to the textile
manufacturers. Brenda gave a
reading “A Child’s View of Retire
ment.”
A report of the District Annual
held at Benmiller on May 29 was
given by Lenora Davidson and Jean
Nethery.
