Ushers at the Blyth Christian
Reformed Church on Sunday
morning were Laurie Boven and
Denise Ten Pas. After the call to
worship, the silent prayer and the
confession of trust, Reverend
Gerard Nonnekes of Kitchener
gave God's greeting and the
congregation responded with
George Hamm attended the Aug.
11 meeting of council to discuss a
drainage problem at his Drummond
St. home.
Mr. Hamm said that heavy rains
flood his garage ever since the road
has been blacktopped and the new
curb put on. "The water doesn't
bother us, but the dirt it brings into
the garage is bad," he said, adding
that it can take four hours to clean
up each time.
Council asked village foreman
John Rinn what he felt the cost
would be. He said it would be pri-
marily the backhoe expense as the
labour costs would be minimal.
A guesstimate was set at about
$250.

councillors.
She said she had been in touch
with the company and was told this
has been a problem and they have

to cover the opening.

Council passed a recommenda-
tion from the road committee to
accept Option B for Morris St.
work.
In year one it permits for the
reconstruction to gravel grade from
north of McConnell to Dinsley at a
cost of $78,000. Year two will be
for the paving and curb and gutter
from north of McConnell to Dins-
ley at a cost of $87,000. The final
year a top coat of asphalt will be
added at a cost of $23,000. Total
project cost is $188,000

singing, "Come Ye That Fear
Jehovah."
Rev. Nonnekes read the
scriptures from Numbers 11: 23-29
and the text from Acts 2: 17 & 18
for his sermon titled, "They Shall
Prophesy." Rev. Nonnekes opened
by saying that young people feel
The difference in the other option
was with the projects for the first
two years. Year one would be the
complete reconstruction from north
of McConnell to Wellington to
base coat and do curb and gutter
followed by the repeated procedure
to Dinsley the following year. The
latter would cost $100,700.
It was that expenditure which
determined the committee's choice.

Council has agreed to proceed
with the signing of an agreement to
provide a transit service with the
North Huron Wheels Away group.
Ms Grubb said that when Blyth
was first approached several years
ago about this service they
approached seniors to see if they
would use it. At that time they felt
that there wasn't a need, However,
she says it has been used.
She added, that the organization
is "standing very strong" that if the
agreement isn't signed by a munici-
pality its residents will not be able
to use it.
Reeve Dave Lee said that for res-
idents with no alternative trans-
portation it is important.
Councillor Mason Bailey asked
how it "fit the budget", to which
Ms Grubb said that Blyth had paid
the contribution they had been
asked to make each year, which
was based on the number of resi-
dents using the service.
"I'm not opposed to it as long as
we can afford it," Councillor Bailey
said.

that the church doesn't relate to
their lives. He stated that we are to
look to the scriptures for answers.
There God promises to baptize with
the Holy Spirit which means He
will pour out His spirit on all
people young and old and our sons
and daughters will prophesy.
Rev. Nonnekes went on to
explain that those who prophesy
have a sense of being grabbed by
God such as in the Old Testament
where the Word of the Lord was
revealed to prophets, who may
have been people from all walks of
life whether farmers or educated
men. These prophets then brought
these visions of God's will to the
people. Rev. Nonnekes said, maybe
children today don't feel church
relates to their lives because we
neglect to prophesy but that can be
changed through prayer which
changes the course of God's actions
and then just as Acts 2: 17 & 18
states, "God declares, 'I will pour
out my spirit upon all flesh and
your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, and your young men
shall see visions and your old men
shall dream dreams'."
In closing Rev. Nonnekes stated
that the outcome of these visions
and dreams has resulted in some
wonderful works such as aid to
third world countries.
The congregation responded
joyfully by singing "God of
Prophets" and were dismissed with
God's blessing.
