McCauley said that parables are to teach the mystery ol the Kingdom of Cod Jesus talked to the people from a boat telling them the story that the Kingdom ol Heaven mav be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field but while everyone was asleep the enemy sowed weed seeds amongst the wheat. The slaves asked the householder if he wanted them to pull out the weeds and lie said no (hat the reapers could sort them out at the time of harvest. We are like the weeds and the good seed growing up together and will be sorted out at our time ol judgement, she said. A moment of silent meditation followed the sermon.

FROM BLYTH North Huron to rename portion of Drummond St By Bonnie Gropp Citizen editor High wire act Members of the Blyth Fire weekends training on a high angle rescue course. It was completed this past weekend. Lieutenant Paul Kerr rappels down the Side Of the SilO. (Dianne Josling photo) There is yet one more street to be renamed in Blyth. At the Monday night meeting of council clerk-administrator John Stewart explained that 911 has asked that the most easterly portion of Drummond Street be renamed. “Back when we first did the numbers for 911. they said that it would be alright to leave Drummond Street as is.” said Stewart. “Now they've said it’s not okay, that it could be confusing to someone unfamiliar with the area when they’re trying to respond to an emergency.” The problem, he explained, is that the two portions of the street are separated by a small bit of land. Stewart said it makes more sense to rename the most easterly portion as there are fewer residences. Residents will be asked for input, keeping in mind that duplications throughout the county should be avoided. Stewart also explained that he had not proceeded yet with renaming of Sunset Drive as he wanted to make sure there would be no further changes required. “This is about the fourth time we’ve had to rename a Classified advertisements published in The Citizen are now available on our website at www.northhuron.on.c^ ■ 1 UIVN QUESTIONS?
