The bible school was held at the Christian Reformed Church in Blyth and was sponsored by them as well as the United Church and The Church of God. The program began at 9 a. m. and ran until 11:30 a. m. Each day was designated by a different colour and the games activities and even the snacks per- tained to the colour. The first day's colour was black, depicting sin. The children made black hearts for the craft and ate Oreo cookies. Another day was gold, represent- ing Christ's reign in heaven. The children made gold crowns and snacked on caramel. Each morning began with Dar- lene Vander Veen leading the chil- dren in a sing-along with actions. Liz Stryker, one of the assistants says, "The children very much enjoyed this." A short bible story followed which was read by Rob Datema. The younger children, ages four to six enjoyed a puppet perfor- mance by Les and Jackie Cook, says Mrs. Stryker. They presented a skit called "Colour Me Christian." The older children aged seven to 12 attended a Super Book (Bible) Olympics at the arena. The participants were divided into four teams then took part in various games. Some of the con- tests included blowing ping-pong balls the farthest and bowling. The winner of the game had to answer a Bible question to gain points for the team. All those taking part received a certificate for their "tremendous effort and enthusiasm," say Mrs. Stryker. Co-ordinator of the program, Bev Dewit says the program was cele- brated at the end of the week by a potluck picnic at the Blyth Lions Park. The volunteers who helped throughout the week, were present- ed with certificates for their involvement. Mrs. Dewit says the school was very well attended with 115 chil- dren by the week's end. Greeters at Blyth United Church on Sunday, Aug. 29 were Laurie and Dorothy Scott. Ushers were Shirley and Les Rutledge and Mildred Ament. Guest minister, Mr. George Cowan, opened the service with the call to worship. The hymn of praise was "0 Worship the King", followed by Prayer of Approach and Responsive Reading from Psalm 145. For children's time, "Jesus Loves Me" was sung. Mr. Cowan spoke about children's songs that have been around for a long time.

During the lecture one youngster spoke up and asked the man, why then did he plant and grow tobacco if it was so bad. To prove he didn't want to hurt his fellow man and to show his sincerity the man destroyed his crop and never grew tobacco again. Mr. Cowan said we should get to know a person before judging him.
