Individuals key to development The Blyth UCW met on February 28 with 19 members and one guest present. Evalena Webster and Mollie Grant conducted devo- tions and Ruby Philp played for the hymns. The study on Christian Development was introduced by convenor, Joanne Beauman, who introduced the guest °speaker, Carolyn Gelwicks of the Christian Reformed Church.

She closed with a generous gesture - the handing out of typed excerpts from these books to all present.
