Jean Whitby and Shirley Bold of Lucknow enjoyed the
glorious flowers on display at the Auburn Horticultural

50s by Mrs. Robert Phillips. A current member discovered
this while looking through old minutes of the Society so it
was decided to host the event again.

Wherever God's People".

A sextette consisting of John
Baumbach, Paul Buttar, Rev.
Came, Marlin Good, Will Jardine
and Brian Walden rendered a very
fitting number at the morning
service at Auburn Missionary
Church.
Pastor Came's message, "Faith of
our Fathers", was taken from
Hebrews 11: 8-20. Fathers are
supposed to be famous for their
faith so it can be passed on to the
next generation he says, but in
Luke 18: 8 it says, "When the Son
of Man comes will He find faith on
the earth?" Pastor Came says, the
first element is saving faith.We
have to come to the Lord with
nothing in our hands. Some
situations in life encourage doubts
but we must stand upon the rock
and that solid rock is Christ. There
is a sojourning faith. Do we have
The excavation for the Huron
Children's Aid Society Family
Resource Centre on McEwan
Street, Goderich, has been
completed. The first step which
will eventually answer the needs of
families and children in Huron
County, has been taken.
The Children's Aid Society, with
a staff of 32 professionals and 70
volunteers, helped 570 families and
1169 children in Huron County last
year. This does not include the
families served by Summer Day
Camp and the Huron County
Christmas Bureau.
There are also 60 foster families
in the County who work hard to
meet the basic child care and
protection needs.
The agency's intake has increased
by 53 per cent in the last three
years. Raising children in the 90s is
very stressful, as every family
knows. Sometimes help is needed.
The Huron CAS Family
Resource Centre will be a building
that encourages community use and
involvement by providing a broad
range of community services
including parenting workshops,
entitled "Going Outside With
God".
Celebrating the sacrament of
holy communion took place. The
communion hymn "Here, 0 My
Lord" was sung and the
communion service was read
alternately.
The offering was received by
Greg Park and Lawrence Plaetzer
and for the Sunday School brought
forward by Jeff Carter and Justin
Chamney and dedicated. Hymn
"Jesus Thou Joy of Loving Hearts"
was sung and Rev. Ross
pronounced the benediction.

best way for all our decisions,
vocations, choosing a mate? he
asked.
Then there is a securing faith, he
said, a faith that goes on into the
future. Many only live for the
moment but those who know the
Lord have an anchor that holds.
Special day is Sunday, June 27
when Auburn Missionary Church
marks its anniversary. Rev. Ted
Losch of Kitchener will be the
guest speaker with the Harmony 4

the morning service.

families, marital and family
counselling and independence
programs for teens in care.
It will also service the
administrative needs of the CAS
Agency as well as being more cost-
effective than any other alternative
investigated.
The aims of the Society over the
past 82 years have remained
relatively constant. The Annual
Report of 1917, when the Society
was called "The Children's Aid and
Humane Society" describes the
aims as:
"to secure justice for every child,
to seek homeless neglected children
and become their friend and
protector, to provide family homes
for them rather than institutions, by
urging upon good people the duty
and privilege of opening their
hearts and homes to some homeless
child and training him or her for a
life of usefulness."
The total CAS receipts for 1916-
1917 was $1,519.16 and the
expenditures for the year
$1,311.10; the County of Huron
was the largest contributor of
$500.00.
