Baptist church news
By
Janet Talbot
Both services at the
Bayfield Baptist Church
were well attended,
Sunday, with the Pastor,
Rev. Les Shiel giving a
very inspirational
message in the morning
using II Corinthians,
chapter five, this passage
assures the born again
Christian of a place in
Heaven after death. This
body we have is just a
house we live in while
travelling through this
life. When death comes
the earthly house (the
body) returns todust, and
the spirit returns to God
who gave it. To die is just
to go home. The person
who has accepted Christ
as personal Saviour
KNOWS that to die is only
"to be absent from the
body is to be present with
the Lord".
The evening service
was a continuing study of
the Book of James, being
in the second chapter and
considering the "Short
Sighted Usher", which is
a study that reminds each
one of us that we must not
show partiality. At the
close of the evening
service a Fireside hour
was held in the Sunday'
School room, with light
refreshments and an
informal time . of
fellowship.
The anniversary of the
Church will be observed
with special meetings
Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, June 22, 23 and
24, featuring as special
speaker Evangelist Rev.
Fred Harrison, from the
Detroit area, and the
special music of the
Bradey family. A warm
welcome is extended to
all to attend these ser-
vices.

convenor reported over

outlined the competitions
for elementary school
children at all spring and
fall fairs in the county
and Joe Hogan explained
the Essay contests for
same. Joe Smith in-
troduced the g'uest
speaker, Mr. J. Wooden,
principal Exeter and
District Secondary
School. His topic was
"elections of the past"
and centered his remarks
on the riding of Huron
south, his home area.
"He chose this subject"
he said, "as it seemed a
timely one." Huron
County as a whole has
been a part of many
federal ridings since
Confederation. The south
part of Huron County has
had 34 federal elections
since 1867, or an average
of one federal election
every three years four
months.
There were eight pre -
Confederation federal
elections, and in addition
35 Provincial elections,
plus municipalities,
school boards, PUC's and
etc. Statistically, at least,
elections of one kind or
another dominate the life
of the Ontario citizens.
The average Canadian
citizen seems to be more
or less critical of elec-
'tions, dgeming them as
an unnecessary expense,
and it is a common saying
- that our provinces atkthe
most. over-govt:rneci,_
over -legislated- areas of
the world. However, in
the 19th century (first
half) people tended to
rather enjoy elections.
Mr. Wooden stated that
TV had changed the
image of many
politicians, and changed
elections into another
staccato piece of show
business, and candidates
are sold like soap, beer,
etc. Personal contact is
missing.
, Parliamentary elec-
tions were held in the first
district of Huron in 1835.
Capt. Robert Graham
Dunlop, the Tory can-

defeated Reform can-

of Huron formed in 1841
included a large area (the
present counties of
Huron, Perth, Brucc, plus
townships of Biddulph
and McGillivray),
Goderich was the District
seat. Mr. Wooden quoted
from Stephen Leacock's
'Skgtches of a Little
Town' (Mariposa).
