Organ prelude begins Knox service A prelude with Nancy Park organ- ist, welcomed everyone to the Knox United Church service on Feb. 4. As the children came to the front the chorus Jesus Loves the Little Children was sung. Out of the mys- tery bag, Charlie Horse was drawn. Charlie thought that because he had not followed the master's word he was not liked. He felt much better after his master explained that no one is perfect. "We all make errors," said Rev. Paul Ross, "but they are forgiven by Due to more snow, Auburn was not well represented at the seniors' din- ner at Blyth Anglican Church on Friday, Feb. 2. They missed a good fish dinner and delicious chocolate the master." He told the children to do their best not to repeat a mistake. Rev. Ross gave scripture from Isaiah 6. Isaiah saw the Lord with His seraphims, touched his lips with a hot coal, so his sins were gone and he offered himself for service. The second scripture was from I Corinthians 15. Paul, who persecut- ed God, gave himself to God and preached his word also. Rev. Ross continued with Luke 5 where Peter and other disciples took Jesus out to deep sea in their boat to pudding. The guest spoke on gambling. It is a risk for those who do and for their families. The other topic was addiction. At Huron Addiction Services help is available. Their help is free and con- fidential. The place to look for help is at Huron County Health and Library Complex, Clinton. The annual congregational meet- ing at Knox United will be on Feb. 18 at 12:30 p.m. Lunch will be served prior to the meeting. The Walkerburn Club is meeting at Goderich Place on Feb. 5. fish. They caught a great number so asked another ship to assist in bring- ing in the nets. They were all very surprised and from then on worked for Christ. Rev. Ross's sermon was Good Enough. People of today are just like the disciples and apostles of Jesus' time, he said. Certainly all make mistakes and stray from the beaten path but when they realize them they try to rectify it. God understands and gives needed assistance. "We too must follow God's word With a shift in policy and impend- ing grant cuts, members of the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association agreed to a fee hike at the annual meeting, Jan. 31. Told that the Ontario branch of the organization was abandoning the $250 affiliation fee, members were asked to approve an individual con- tribution of $5 to the association, increasing the annual fee to $15. In part, the decision to drop the affiliation fee came after pressure from northern groups which felt the fixed fee was unfair to small organi- zations. Members were also told other funding, such as the communication grants may be cut within the next two years, so more increases could be on the horizon. By gathering fees from individual members, the association will also be better able to ascertain the exact number of members as well as pro- vide groups with the opportunity to obtain statistics. While Huron County will only be seeking information such as phone numbers and addresses, other groups will record stats on acreage, crops grown and even age of members. The fees are used to help carry the provincial office and sponsor printed materials published by OSCIA. The motion to approve the fee hike was passed.
