Sutton's sermon was taken from John 9:1-41, wherein Jesus restored a blind man's sight. Although Jesus had performed this miracle, there were those who would not believe; even the man's parents' did not want to acknowledge the miracle. This is not dis- similar to today's attitude. Rev. Sutton urged everyone to open their eyes, ears and hearts and listen to Jesus's daily teachings about the suf- fering and hurt going on around them. Mary and Chuck Wallen welcomed the congregation. At the close of ttw service, the women were presented w' live daffodils, in honor of it ing Mothering Sunday. Refreshments were served by Lillian Best.

Peebles said that it is impor- tant for us to find what group we're in. The choir sang "Take My Life, Teach Me Lord". ("ZouNTRY CLIPPER1) HAIRSTYLING 1 1 MI Ell NI ill NB Mt.

Skilled pianist performs Grand Bend concert en- thusiasts were exposed to a fine musical experience at the last scheduled Youth and Music Canada concert, at Grand Bend United Church, Wednesday last week. With a last minute change of plans, because of the illness of scheduled performer, Mark Widner, Youth and Music engaged pianist Douglas Finch, one. of the most skilled yoting per- formers in the country. Finch presented a concert with familiar thematic con- tent which was strong, arti- culate and displayed great reeling for every note and every phrase. His treatment of the old Bach exercises gave a new meaning and feeling to the material. In the last of the first half of ' the program, he played two movements of the Beethoven C major Sonata. His inter- pretation was precise, with feeling, and avoided the heavy approach which often fogs the sound of the thematic quality of the composition. For the beginning of the se- cond part of his concert, Finch chose the Brahms variations of the familiar Paganini theme. It was another treat for those in the audience who had usually heard the variations on the theme composed by Rachmaninof. The Chopin Ballade, which followed, again stressed the beauty of the musical theme, and displayed to the full Chopin's lengthened piano keyboard. The final part of the pro- gram, and encores, were im- provisations on tunes sug- gested by members of the Grand Bend audience. Finch wove the tunes together and produced delightful combina- tions of sound for those assembled. Joplin tunes, traditional themes, Gershwin, Went into the pot and came up signing in the hands of the skilled young artist.
