A good number turned out to church on Sunday morning. Rev. A. Tizzard read from Lamentations 3, v. 45-66. He told us that Jeremiah had prophesied the fall of Jeru- salem: a year later it fell in 587 B.C. Some historians believe that Jeremiah wrote Lamentations others say he did not. Our minister spoke on verse 57. "Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee". God is not only there when we have truble but he is always there. As the hymn says, Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay. Close by me forever, And love me, I pray. On February 4th the United Church Women met at the home of Mrs. R.
