Robbie Burns supper at Melville a success
The Robbie Burns supper at
Melville Presbyterian Church last
Saturday night was a smashing
success, with all tables sold out. The
event was organized by Cathy
Cardiff, Janna Dodds, Cathrine
Campbell, and Jennie Schimanski,
with extra help by Janet
At Auburn Knox United Church,
Rev. Pat Cook's message on Sunday
was The Living Word. Scripture
passage was from Psalm 19. Text
was Luke 24: 14-21.
The Auburn Lions Club's next
meeting is Feb. 4 at the old library.
The 150th anniversary quilt has
been completed with the help of
many quilters from Auburn and area.
Lois Haines, Tena Empey, Maxine
Seers, Irma Cartwright, Laura Mae
McCutcheon, Sheana Campbell,
Linda Shaw and Brenda Perrie.
The diners were entertained with
recitations and musical numbers and
there were many performances by
the Melville Highland Dancers.
Singers were Cliff Coultes, Eliza
Dodds and Mary Douma.
Jennie Schimanski leads the
Highland dancing team, and will
teach this art to anyone who wishes
to attend the weekly practices in the
church.
Gordon and Julia Mitchell were
greeters at the regular Sunday
morning service. Mary Douma was
organist. Psalm 19 was read
responsively The scripture lessons
were Nehemiah 8: 1-10; 1
Corinthians 12: 11-32; and Luke 4:
14-21 with Brian Armstrong
assisting Rev. Cathrine Campbell as
reader.
The children's story was about
Farmer Barney who sold his old
tractor, even though it meant the
world to him, and spent the money to
buy an engagement ring for his
wife.
She surprised him at the same time
with the gift of his old tractor which
she had bought back for him.
"It's about really listening for what
people mean", said Rev. Campbell,
"and this is what makes us part of a
community that is sensitive to
others".
The sermon, Do Something,
considered the dodo bird, which,
without natural enemies needed to
do nothing to survive, and soon
became prey for humans. It is
extinct.
Referring to the Corinthians

Ball, Jackie McGee, Vera Penfound,

lesson, Rev. Campbell said that
equilibrium is desirable and that to
obtain it one part cannot be
overemphasized over others.
She then told a story of a church
where Uncle Abe, a mentally-
challenged man, did his own special
greeting at the front door alongside
the regular greeters. He-sat up front
in the church and sang the hymns
lustily, and generally contributed
greatly in his own way to the
services.
Then a new minister came and
decided that this was not to be and
that new standards would apply, so
Abe lost his position. The eventual
effect on the church was a decline in
attendance and participation.
Then the minister moved on, and
Abe returned and the congregation
rebounded. "One must truly know
what is, who is important," said Rev.
Campbell.
Collection was taken up by
Leanne Armstrong, Maurice Douma,
Doug McArter and Bill King.
Meetings this week include the
afternoon Bible study hosted by
Helen Elliott at 2 p.m. on Thursday
and the first confirmation class to be
held 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Due to the efforts of Gerald
Gibson, the church's historic display
for the 150th anniversary changes
weekly. This Sunday there was a
silver tea and coffee service set, and
equipment for lighting, all well

Melville Moments... by Gerald
Gibson
For a number of years Dr.
Ferguson conducted services in
Walton and Cranbrook in both
Gaelic and English. Cranbrook
separated from his charge in 1872
and Walton in 1877. The two places,
Walton and Cranbrook, were known
then as stations.
