FROM AUBURN
Rev. talks
On Aug. 13 a musical prelude with
Bernice Gross, organist welcomed
the congregation to the Knox United
service.
Rev. Paul Ross gave an invitation
to worship.
Rev. Ross's mystery bag contained
a dolphin puppet which was shown
to the congregation. It is now used as
a golf club protector.
Scripture was given from II
Corinthians. God gave the kingdom
to David forever. Then in Mark 6
Jesus was surprised that no one
believed but still He and his
disciples continued teaching.
Rev. Ross’s sermon was What's
Good about Failing? He spoke about
Story time
Pastor Dave Wood, seated at left, and an assistant led the children through a participatory tale
during the Huron Chapel Evangelical Missionary Church, Auburn, Bible school program.
of falling
golf and how easily some accepted
defeat while others considered it a
real failure. However there is always
failure in a game and one must
continue working. God is always
there.
He also spoke about school
education and curriculum. There are
parents who accept a child’s poor
report and try to give them help in
that subject while others condemn.
No one is perfect in everything and
all children are different
personalities, he said. All anyone
should ask for is that they give their
best effort.
Offering was received and
presented by Gregory Park.

This was the second week of
service at Knox United as Rev. Paul
Ross returned on Aug. 6 after his
summer vacation. We are glad that
he had a nice holiday and happy that
United Services have resumed for
Auburn.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Delbergue, Auburn
invited friends and neighbours to a
barbecue at their home on July 26.
Everyone had an enjoyable time.
Some of course were unable to
attend due to other appointments for
which they are very sorry.
The seniors dinner at Blyth
Anglican Church on Friday, Aug. 4
was laughter day. Effie McCall,
Blyth and Marion Haggitt, Auburn
were the two lucky winners of the
draw to everyone’s pleasure.
When we entered the church we
had been greeted by a clown. Talk
Hullett Twp. to aid purchase
of windows for Auburn Hall
Auburn Hall will have a new look
with the assistance of Hullett
council.
Council approved a $1,000 grant
at the Aug. 1 session to help with the
replacement of the windows.
Council objected to a severance
application because the transaction
does not conform to the township’s
secondary plan which states that the
residence must be surplus to a farm
operator residing on an area farm.
about laughing - we could not stop
when Mrs. Clown entertained. Her
prize mischief was when she called
up six volunteers from the crowd.
They did not know what they were
going to do but soon found out to
everyone’s pleasure, it was simply a
riot. No one could stop laughing.
The crowd was delighted and
showed their appreciation. The roof
nearly came off the Hall with their
applause.
The super lady clown was thanked
by the hostess who said that never
before had she heard such
thunderous applause and laughter for
the entertainment. It is something
that will be remembered.
The volunteers were from Aubum
and Blyth and are also to be thanked.
The senior Lapps were guests on
the July 26 weekend at the home of a
nephew, William Wood and his wife
and family. It was a gathering of the
clan at Brampton. Other nephews
and their families were present from
Milton, Montreal and London. It was
a real family get-together. Their
mother Ledianne Wood was also
present.
The community is pleased to know
that Hazel Craig is on the improving
list again. We all pray and trust that
she will continue to recover.
Road Superintendent Jim
Johnston was authorized to obtain
quotes for a 10 kilowatt gas powered
generator and sub panel.
The clerk-treasurer and office
assistant will attend a two-day
workshop on public sector public
account board training in London,
Aug. 28-29.
Accounts payable in the amount of
$70,073.84 were approved for
payment.
