By Bob Lewis, Youth Pastor Huron Chapel Missionary Church It has been said that familiarity breeds contempt — that we take the everyday things of life for granted. Is this true? It was true in the beginning for Adam and Eve. They, being placed in that ideal environment, became too familiar with the Holy, with God. As a result of this casual familiarity they treated God with contempt. It is true today in our everyday lives. You see, my wife Donna and I have recently moved to this area, into Auburn from 'Kitchener. I imagine that fact probably elicited a few groans of sympathy. Some may be thinking (as it has been mentioned to us) that we are to be pitied because of this awful thing that has happened to us. What a bituaries MARY EVELYN YOUNG Mary Evelyn Young of Blake Street in Goderich passed away on July 20, 1993. Mrs. Young was a member of the United Church of Canada. She was the daughter of the late Joseph and Alice Maud Mary (Gar- rett) Webster of Hullett Township and wife of the late Meredith Young (1975). Left to mourn her passing are her children Evelyn (Mrs. Lome Popp), Blyth; Marjorie (Mrs. Donald Tre- ble), RR 4 Goderich and Donald Young, RR 3 Auburn. She will be missed by her sisters Miss Bertha Webster, Toronto; Mrs. Elizabeth Riley, Parkhill; and McQuails attend Quaker gathering Tony and Fran McQuail and family of Lucknow recently returned from Stillwater, Oklahoma, where they attended a gather of over 1,250 Quakers (members of the Religious Society of Friends), from 44 States, three Canadian provinces, and Australia, Scotland, Lithuania and Costa Rica. During the week-long gathering, 60 workshops were given on a variety of subjects from Quakerism to re-examining the ,Bible. Rachel and Katrina McQuail participated in the Junior Gathering which was held for preschooler's through high schoolers. Mr. McQuail said, there were 156 young people participating in the classes and activities. The 91 high schoolers attended their own workshops, which ranged in content from Conflict and Community to Theatre. The theme of this gathering was "Riding the Wind of Spirit." Oklahoma is the home of 37 Native American Nations and the theme acknowledged their spirituality which is closely tied to the natural world, Mr. McQuail said. Speakers at the plenary sessions included Man Kolp, former dean of Earlham School of Religion. Margaret Hope Bacon, Quaker author, reflected on "Springs of the Spirit" for Lucretia Mott (1793- 1880). Mott was a woman who followed clear leadings in her efforts to abolish slavery, to get fair treatment for Native Americans and in her work in the early women's rights and peace movements. Thomas Banyacya of Arizona brought the group the Hopi prophecies which call human Continued on page 14 norrible fate — to be snatched away from all that the "Big City" has to offer and be exiled to Auburn. Well, we disagree. My wife and I feel blessed to be here. This area is great with fresh air, trees and wide open spaces. Friendly neighbours go out of their way for us instead of just trying to stay out of our way. There are no fences that cut me off from the people around me and pen me in. We have made many warm Christian friends who care for us and appreciate us. I can walk down the street and be greeted by kind "hellos'". But probably the best thing of all is the smell of freshly cut hay. Many people around here have lived with these things all of their lives and as a result of that familiarity barely notice any more. Mrs. Gladys Caldwell, Blyth. Mrs. Young is survived by 15 grandchildren and 12 great grand- children. She is predeceased by one sister, Mrs. Isobel Partridge (1956) and one grandson, Lorne Popp (1970). Funeral services were held at the McCallum and Palla Funeral Home, Goderich on Thursday, July 22, 1993. Rev. Richard Magie, of the Vic- toria Street United Church, officiat- ed. Pallbearers were Douglas Popp, Robert Popp, Paul Popp, David Popp, Brian Treble, Barry Treble, Bruce Treble and Robert Young. Interment was at Colborne Cemetery. WILLIAM LLOYD WALDEN The community of Blyth was saddened by the recent passing of Lloyd Walden, who died at his Drummond St. residence on Friday, July 23, 1993. Born 77 years ago on June 12 in East Wawanosh Twp. Mr. Walden was the son of the late William Walden and former Clara McDow- ell. During his youth he was edu- cated at the Westfield school and attended Westfield United Church. On Sept. 3, 1938 he married Mary Cook. They farmed in West- field for many years, where they raised their children. In 1972 they moved to Blyth where Mr. Walden was employed in the logging industry. When you have lived elsewhere. as we have, you can appreciate these small pleasures. Yet, there are those who would leave all of this to look for a better life elsewhere. I have heard teens say that they can not wait until they are old enough to move to the city. The city offers so much more to do, so much more fun. To a certain degree they are correct; there is a lot more to do. But there are also fences, exhaust, horns and sirens. I say all of this to get the point across that I think this area has a lot to offer. It is a great place to live and raise a family. As I mentioned before, we feel blessed to be here. God has given us a great little church to minister in, a nice home and a loving church family to care for us. We look forward to being able to work with the youth in the area in the years to come. His love of music was reflected in his singing with the Westfield Quartet and the choirs of both the Westfield and Blyth United Churches. He was an elder in the church for many years as well. Mourning his loss most deeply are his wife and children, Garth and Dianne Walden, Blyth; Gary and Rachel Walden, Clinton, Brian and Beverly Walden, Blyth and Linda Wilson, Blyth. Mr. Walden will be lovingly remembered by his sisters Elva McClinchey, Goderich and Made- line Harburn, Zurich. Sixteen grandchildren and two great-grand- children are left to mourn his pass- ing. He was predeceased by one daughter, Donna Cunningham and a sister Mabel Jennings. Friends were received at the "Tasker Chapel" of the Beattie-Fal- coner Funeral Homes, Blyth on Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9. Rev. Lorenzo Ramirez officiated at the funeral service held at 2 p.m. on Monday, July 26 at Blyth United Church. Carrying floral tributes for their grandfather were Jill Walden, Tara Wilson, Angela Walden and Natal- ie Walden. Pallbearers were Harold McClinchey, Garth McClinchey, Glen Harburn, Lavern Harburn, Ray Jennings and Bob Jennings. Interment was at Blyth Union Cemetery.
