They enjoy walking up town, sometimes with Max, their toy poodle. They find their Blyth home just right in every respect, and their neighbours very friendly. We trust they will find everyone they meet the same way.

Lemonade and treats (donated by Blyth Distributors) will be served on the lawn of Memorial There has been a flurry of home building in the south east section of the village during the last year or two, and especially in recent months. Morris St. south can boast now of an attractive structure, still without finishing touches, but al­ ready displaying a “For Sale” sign. So far, Hamilton Street has seen the most changes. Instead of vacant lots that one was used to seeing for years, one gazes now on smart-looking homes: K. Hessel- woods, the Szarek’s, Darryl Young- blut’s and Ronnie Ritchie’s are the most recent to be erected. Ronnie has sold his home on Hamilton Street and is on the way to finishing his second home building project on McConnell Street. It appears that Blyth is on the move in the building industry. Faith sermon theme at Blyth Greeters at Blyth United Church Sunday, June 11 were Kathy McNichol and Debbie Root. Ushers were Marlene and Greg Toll, Joan and Catherine Caldwell.

Following the announcements Harvey Snell gave a Minute for Missions concerning “Youth For To-day”. The sermon was entitled “Faith in Time of Uncertainty”. Rev. Ramirez referred to several different Bible characters who had to take a “leap of faith”. In Hebrews, Sarah, wife of Abraham, at the age of 90, was told she would bear children, and though unbe­ lieving at first she put her trust and hope in God and it did occur. Mary, Mother of Jesus, chosen to give birth to Jesus, son of God conceived by the Holy Spirit. This was a time when becoming preg­ nant before marriage was a great sin resulting in possible stoning and death. She relied on her faith saying “let me be a handmaiden of God”. Also, Nicodemus in John Chap. 3 went through a great struggle when Jesus told him “You must be born again”. He could not fully understand how this could happen but Jesus said, “Put your trust in me; that which is born of flesh is flesh, that which is born of spirit is spirit.” The story of Joseph tells how good can come out of evil as a result of Joseph’s faith. Out of a treacherous act on the part of his brothers came the ultimate salva­ tion of Joseph’s whole family and the people of Egypt. Rev. Ramirez said that we were in times of uncertainty now and that we should be reading scrip­ tures and praying for help and guidance. The scriptures tell us we have to struggle with our faith and if we trust and hope in God, He will deliver us from this uncertainty. We must keep our faith strong.
