Tottenham United Church to Blyth United Church. The gospel reading was from Luke 7:36. The Responsive Psalm 5 was led by 011ie Craig. The hymn Beneath the Cross of Jesus was sung. Rev. Eugen Bannerman's message to the adults was Historical Vignette: Rev. Telford at Blyth. Rev. Bannerman started out with a quote of Isaac Newton's: "If I have seen farther it is because have stood on the shoulders of others." The doctrine of the church has been based on many others. One of the giants of Blyth United Church was Rev. George Telford, minister from 1916 to 1926. Blyth was his first pastoral charge. Rev. Telford was a community, minded person, involved with the Memorial Hall which was built in memory of the soldiers in the First World War. Rev. Telford carved a wooden plaque with all the soldiers' names on it. It is still in a place of honour in Memorial Hall. Rev. Telford was very interested in music and directed a cantata for the Blyth Choral Society. Rev. Telford was here when St. Andrews Presbyterian and Queen Street Methodist churches joined to eventually become Blyth United Church.
