Ernest Dow spoke of “our hunger or deadness apart from Christ.” Referring to John 6:53, Rev. Down spoke of how Jesus told the 5000, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.” He also talked about how “Jesus is the ‘living bread’ ”, who alone can truly satisfy our longings.” Rev. Dow talked about how “bread of life” can have two mean­ ings. It’s alive and it gives life to others. He reminded the congrega­ tion that the communion bread and juice is not ordinary. There is some­ one special behind the meal. The Blyth Citizens on Patrol held a meeting Sept. 25 at the home of George and Ella Ives. The main focus of the meeting was on ways to get other residents involved and on the signs for the village. The committee had sent a survey out in June in the PUC bills in an effort to inform the community about the Citizens on Patrol and pos­ sibly to find people who may be interested in participating. The com­ mittee was disappointed to have only 11 surveys returned out of 475 that were sent out to the residents of Blyth. On the positive side two residents expressed interest in participating and several elderly residents were pleased such a program existed as they felt much safer in their homes because of it. The committee remains optimistic and several sug­ gestions were made on getting more residents from the community involved. Information will be posted in the local churches on the Citizens on Patrol and community policing pro­ grams. Committee members could take someone out on patrol so they could see what exactly is involved. A third suggestion was to meet with the Citizens on Patrol from Brussels and exchange information. The signs for the village showing this is a Citizens on Patrol communi­ ty were shown to the committee and will be put up this week. George and Ella Ives made and donated these signs to the village. Signs such as these have been a deterrent to crimi- attend for an evening of fun and laughter. KATHY’S QUOTE OF THE WEEK: A pessimist complains about the noise when opportunity knocks.
