Minister talks of parades PAGE 12. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1993. [Compiled by Mildred Lawlor Phone 526-7589 Walkerburn Club visits `Doll Land' in Goderich After the passing of a parade, there is a let down, declared Pastor Came as he spoke at the Auburn Missionary Church on April 4. Scripture was taken from Matthew 21. The crowd that shouted "Hosanna" as Jesus passed through the streets of Jerusalem was easily influenced, easily led. They were caught in the excitement but their worship was shallow, they had no commitment. This same crowd wanted to crucify Jesus one week later, he said. The merchants and money changers had no time to go to the parade; their greed kept them at their stations, ready to take advantage of the crowds that would want goods. It was not convenient to worship, their business came first. The children, however, were different. They very honestly worshipped Jesus. Children are very comfortable with God while an adult's pride and sophistication keeps him from accepting God. Pastor Carne asked "Where would you be, one of the crowd, one of the merchants or lingering with the children?" At 1 p.m. on Monday, March 29 the Walkerburn Club met at Vera Penfound's home. Two carloads then went on to Goderich. At the home of Mrs. Islay Johnston they visited a regular "Doll Land". There are two rooms full of dolls which Mrs. Johnston makes. She creates them from greenware which she finishes, takes to London for firing, brings them and paints. She has them refired. She also makes their apparel and the finished product is beautiful. There are dolls of all kinds: Eskimo, Indian, Negro, skaters, ball players and baby dolls to name a few. The Dionne Quints are there, also Anne of Green Gables, Gilbert, Heidi, Shirley Temple and grandmother in her rocking chair. Mrs. Johnston showed the beginning of grandfather and the detail in the face showed his age already. Mrs. Johnston goes to sales to find the makings of dainty broaches, earrings, necklaces and lace used in making the costumes. There are porcelain dolls, ceramic composition and even wooden ones. Mrs. Johnston also does repair work for others. There are doll carriages to see and even a lovely doll-sized tea cart. The club then went to visit a former active club member Mrs. Nellie McDougall, Mrs. Johnston's mother. It was certainly a pleasure to visit and reminisce with her. Also visiting with her was her neighbour Mrs. B. Riley. She grew up in the Walkerburn-area and her mother, the late Mrs. W. Hunking, had been one of the Club's first members. 7 tables in play There were seven tables in play at the euchre party held at the Community Hall Tuesday evening, March 30. Prizes went to the following: high lady, Ruth Jardin; low lady, Marion Haggitt; high man, Ell Lapp; low man, Frances Clark (playing as a man) and novelty table, Grace Cartwright.
