Woman tells about trip
The Aubum U.C.W. met at the
Church Monday at 8 p.m. Maureen
Bean opened the meeting with an
introduction to the worship on
Science and Religion. “For The
Beauty Of The Earth” was sung
with Marjorie McDougall as
pianist.
Scripture was read from Genesis
I by Grace Cartwright. Maureen
continued the worship. God made
the earth and everything in it and
put in man's hands to be
responsible for its care. Through
the years there has been endless
changes. There are deserts where
there once was fertile soil. Forests
have been needlessly ruined.
However, man is realizing that
there has to be a change in their
care of the world. Lakes and rivers
that have been damaged are slowly
being repaired and reforestation is
being done.
She closed with prayer. Offering
was then received and Grace

Youngbluts hold
family reunion
Descendants of Werner and
Elizabeth Youngblut enjoyed a
reunion at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Haggitt on Saturday,
June 13. The afternoon was spent
visiting and entertainment was
provided with music by Mr. and
Mrs. Glen Patterson, Gordon Wall
and Gertie Durnin. A pot luck
luncheon was then enjoyed and
more music was supplied.
Visitors attended from Detroit,
London, Zurich, Huron Park,
Goderich, Whitechurch, Wingham,
Blyth, Mitchell and the surrounding
area.
Cartwright gave prayer.
Mary Stoll, an Auburn friend,
told about the experiences she and
her daughter had when they took a
trip to Jamaica. They stayed in a
Jamaican home near Montego Bay.
The minister there Pastor Barry
Pridham, his wife and family has
three charges. They attended one of
the charges - a 200-year-old
church, Mt. Zion, on the top of a
mountain. They also attended a
four hour service at a Evangelical
Pentecost Church. The music was
lively and faith and prayer showed
in their religion.
Mary then introduced Mrs.
Dorothy Bolton from Saltford who
had been the inspiration for their
holiday there. Mrs. Bolton had
been a teacher and after retiring she
and her husband offered their
services in missionary work in
Jamaica. Their first year was at
Kingston where she taught
sermon on Genesis 22 on Faith of
our fathers. Sometimes actions are
empty and void but we must teach
our children a living vibrant faith.
God asked Abraham for a sacrifice
and he obeyed God going to Mount
Moriah where he was willing to
offer his only son but God provided
the sacrifice. In the New Testament
God gave His only son as the
supreme sacrifice. The gospel
begins with a father and son
relationship and it ends with a
father and son relationship. Today,
fathers, be examples of faith!
Sunday, June 28 is the anniver
sary of Aubum Missionary Church.
Rev. Grant Sloss of Kitchener, a
former district superintendent of
the Canada East conference of
Missionary churches will be the

Quartette providing the special
