site of celebration

and
his
Balloons and streamers decorat
ed the farm for the occasion and
guests enjoyed an afternoon of
socializing followed by dinner.
John Johnston has lived on
farm since he was a child
remained on the farm after
marriage. He and his wife Leona
have two children, Karen and
Kevin. Both attended Sunday’s
celebration.
Guests came from Shelburne,
Dorchester, Denfield, Ripley,
Blyth. Brussels, Wingham, Wood-
stock. and several other places.
Mrs. Norman Cook and Mrs.
Kenneth Procter welcomed mem
bers of Knox United Church,
Belgrave to the service, September
3. The service was conducted by
the Rev. Peter D. Tucker.
Scripture readings were Deuter
onomy, Chapter 28 and I John 3:
13-24 which states “Little children,
let us slop saying we love people,
let us really love them and show it
by our actions.”
The children’s story was entitled
“Life or Death”. A man saw a
large hornet fly into his room.
Rather than crush it to death by a
blow from his flay swatter he
decided to let the wasp crawl onto,
the swatter and free it outdoors.
However the wasp, which could
have been helped to freedom and
life, flew away and vanished. It was
doomed to die- of starvation. It-
chose death rather than life.
People often reject God’s salva
tion and perish. The decision is
yours. Choose well!
Rev. Tucker, in his sermon,
referred to the Third World’s
needy who will perish without our
missionary contributions. We must
become involved, he said.
The minister gave an illustration.
Several picnickers sat on the steep
slope of a mountain side enjoying
their lunch. A blind person, white
cane in hand, was seen groping his
way down a narrow path which led
to the edge of a precipice. He
stumbled; became confused in
directions; wandered to the cliff's
edge; instinctively hesitated, then
stepped forward and plummeted to
his death in the depths below.
Not one of the social group had
assisted or become involved in the
victims need. If missionary dona
tions are withheld many ‘‘needy”
will die. Get involved, he said.
Jesus did. Offeratory stewards
were Glen Hunter, Kenneth Proc
ter, Ross Higgins and Donald G.
Procter.
