He hopes to be able to build up the congregations of Goderich, now numbering between 45-50 and Clinton which has 15•- i people. The two churches have been without a pastor since Reverend Edward Anderson died in April of 19112. "1 am fortunate in that Reverend Anderson has laid a very good foundation from which 1 can work," says Mr. Kidd. He also pays tribute to the deacons and Sunday School superintendent of the churches for carrying on in the absence of a pastor. Mr. Kidd has some very definite ideas about how to build up the two churches but realizes that it will take time. He hopes to encourage more young families to at- tend church and wants to build up both the youth ministry and Sunday School. "I believe the church's function is to spread the gospel. I want to establish an QUOTE OF THE WEEK The earth is one country and mankind it's citizens. Bahceu' l lah For informottdn Write P.O.

He says he would also like the church to address the community needs and is considering the im- plementation of programs for mothers and tots and maybe senior citizens. Mr. Kidd says he feels one of his strengths lies in the area of visitation and counselling.

He is also very interested in music and hopes to be of some assistance in that way. Both Mr. Kidd and his wife play the clarinet, having played in the Oshawa Symphony Orchestra, the Scarborough Choral Society and the York Minstrels.
