Silver Tops enjoy day at cottage in woods
FROM AUBURN
A heritage hymn service was held
at Knox United Church on April 7.
Members only sang hymns that were
well known to a number of them but
received the history of their making
with the story and appropriate
scripture.
The hymn Tell Me The Old, Old
Story was sung and the story told of
its author, Kate Hankey. It was based
on Luke 6: 19, where Christ healed a
number of people who came to him
The weatherman co-operated and
the Silver Tops went to Bill and
Maxine Seers' cottage in the woods.
Most of the group were able to
attend.
Maxine had two dining tables
ready and shortly after noon
everyone had arrived.
Grace was sung led. by Lois
Haines.
Maxine treated all to chili con
came and beef stew, with homemade
bread, rolls and beverages. To finish
there was an assortment of pies and
shortcake with a generous helping of
whipped cream. It was a most
enjoyable meal.
Everyone thanked Maxine and
Bill for the visit to their lovely log
cottage and for the delicious dinner.
Margaret Hildebrand opened the
with trust.
The next hymn Amazing Grace
was written by John Newton back in
the 1700s. Scripture was from
Romans 5. Here Christ gave His life
that all might live.
Just As I Am was by Charlotte
Elliott. The scripture was from Acts
9.
The next hymn was Guide Me, 0
Thou Great Jehovah, 1,,nritten in the
1700s by W. Williams. The scripture
business with two readings, Easter
Bunny and Happy Easter. Tina

meeting. The district annual will be

Members welcomed Margaret
Fraser, who has moved into Auburn,
as a new member.
Lois Haines invited members to
her home, probably the first of May
and asked that each bring a baby
picture.
Daryl Ball, speaker for the day,
told about the Ball family. Ethel Ball

family farm. His father, Stanley
Ball's grandparents, came from

the people by way of the Red Sea.
God gave them a cloud to follow by
day and a pillar of fire to lead them
at night.
Onward Christian Soldiers by S.
Bering-Gould was sung. Scripture
for this was from Colossians 3.
The closing hymn was Mine Eyes

A number of Auburnites enjoyed a
delicious Dining Out dinner at the
Anglican Church in Blyth. The
guest speaker spoke and showed
pictures of China. A number of
children there are homeless and are
being adopted by Canadians which
is wonderful.
Some of us who have been to
China particularly enjoyed the
pictures of places where they had
been, Beijing and the Great Wall.
They brought back old memories.

Looking for a fire in a haystack
Blyth firefighters were called out last Friday to help the
Goderich department douse a small but exceedingly
smokey blaze west of Auburn. Spontaneous combustion
appears to have been the cause of the fire which burned in
a pile of straw located outdoors at a touch of herbs farm.
