Blyth youth
group wins
volleyball
tournament
Five Church Related Youth
Groups, fielding seven teams, held
a volleyball tournament in the
gymnasium of C.H.S.S. last Sun-
day afternoon. Spectators and
players numbered over 100.
While the B.C. Lions and
Hamilton Ti-Cats were battling it
out for the Grey Cup in Montreal,
youth teams from Dungannon,
Londesboro, Be!grave, Ontario St.
U.C., Clinton, and Blyth were
playing their hearts out for the
conveted Golden Boot. Last year
when only three groups were
involved, it was just a Golden
Sneaker they played for.
In this year's tournament, which
was set up and scheduled by the
Blyth group, Blyth's team Hedged
out Londesboro in the final. The
Golden Boot is now resting tem-
porarily in Rev. Ken Bauman's
office, Blyth.
Following the games, over 90
young people came to Blyth United
Church hall to enjoy a hot supper,
for which Blyth's Youth Group was
responsible. Emily Phillips, Carol
Lawrie, Brenda McDonald and
Grace Poore from the Parents'
Support Group offered their ser-
vices in the kitchen.
From The Minister's Study
BY REV. VIC JAMIESON, BRUSSELS-BELGRAVE
Most of us do not allow the Lord, Jesus Christ, "the exact likeness of
God's own being" (Hebrews 1:3), tobe in charge of our lives. We have
not heard or become able to live what is written in Proverbs 3:5: "Trust
in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know."
At times we may wonder why so much is going wrong with so many
people in so many parts of the world today. There may be times when
we think about what will happen when we die.
Most of us most of the time focus our lives on ourselves and the
natural or man-made things of this world. We travel through life
hoping mostly to keep our bodies living, to develop our minds as much
as possible, through education, to maintain a good source of income or
other signs of worldly wealth, and to associate with people who build
up our self-importance. Some of us might even belong to a church
which we might not have attended for a long time, attend occasionally
or attend somewhat regularly on Sundays. A sharp observer will
realize that little of what most of us say or do acknowledges Jesus
Christ as the true and only source of life's needs.
Our trust in the Lord begins when we yield to the Spirit of God
speaking to us through His Word or messenger or directly. We have
heard from God when His Spirit humbles us before Him in prayer.
With deep regret for disobeying Him, we confess that we are sinners,
people who have displeased God. In spite of what we may think of
ourselves, Romans 3: 23 tells us: "Everyone has sinned and is far away
from God's saving presence." The Bible, which is the only true
guideline for life, tell us that our sins are inherited from our first
grandparents, Adam and Eve. They involve those things we say or do
unknowingly or knowingly to displease God. What we should have
done or be doing also make up our sins? Who can make up to God for
such possibilities of displeasing Him? NOBODY, NO WAY! In John
14:6 Jesus says: "I am the way and the truth and the life; no one goes to
the Father except by me."
We trust truly in the Lord when we are born again, that is, enabled by
His Spirit to realize: "By the free gift of God's grace all are put right
with Him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free. God offered Him,
so that by His sacrificial death He should become the means by which
people's sins are forgiven through faith in Him." (Romans 3: 24-26).
Christ's Spirit in us then will show this message to those whom we
meet.
Good observers will see that we do no boast of a trust in the things of
this world that build up ourselves in the eyes of others. As we yield all

areas of our lives to Christ's control, they should see us re-focusing our
time, talents and other resources on truly knowing Jesus Christ and
making Him Known in our churches and elsewhere. We will reflect to
everyone everywhere that we trust in the Lord Jesus Christ in such
words as these: "Salvation is to be found through Him alone; in all the
world there is noone else whom God had given who can save us." (Acts
4: 12). May all of us be led to trust in the LORD!
