(David Emslie photo ) United Church h By David Emslie BLYTH - The United church here welcom- ed a new reverend into their midst on July 5. Reverend Lorenzo Ramierz, along with his wife Norma and children John, 11, and Abigail, 8, arrived in Blyth on July 1. Originally from the Phillipines, he com- pleted his university studies there, where he got his BA, as well as his theological studies. In 1973 Rev. Ramierz was ordained by the United Methodist Church in the Phillipines. It was also in 1973 that he followed his future wife to Canada. After living in this country for a year, he joined the London Conference of the United ('hurch in Windsor in 1974. "My first church was in Oil Springs, near Petrolia and Sarnia. I was there for six years," Rev. Ramierz explained. Following his time at Oil Springs he mov- ed to Mount Elgin in 1980, where he remain- ed until he was called to the Blythi United ('hurch.

With just the one church in Blyth, his preaching time is less than in Oil Springs where he had a three point charge, and Mount Elgin, which was two points. However, there is extra work in other areas. "The work is pretty much the same. I visit people, the hospitals and the elderly. Especially since I'm new, I have to visit everyone," he said. Although they have only been in the village for a month, it has already made a good impression on the reverend and his family. "We really like it here. It is a nice place with very friendly people. Blyth is a very friendly place," he commented. However, after living in Mount Elgin for seven years, he admits that full adjustment to the new environment will take time. ••It's pretty hard to adjust just like that, but we're getting there," he concluded.
