Over coffee we enjoyed a very pleasant time of catching up on family news. Hope Ken will drop in soon again. Son Grant Cawker of Oshawa, has been doing a spot of gardening at the farm to help his mom. The garden looks much better, now that it has had expert attention from Grant.

Outdoor Church Service On Sunday, July 3, 6th after Pentecost - a joint outdoor ser- vice was held at the Roy Brad- burn home, Blackstock, with lovely weather prevailing - and a good attendance. Rev. David Shearman presented an excel- lent message on Canada - we have much to be thankful for! Glenn Larmer read the scrip- ture and organist Linda Kyte played the keyboard for the hymns. Dennis Yellowlees and Carl Adams gathered the offer- ing. They sang many old hymns. The minister closed the service with Benediction and Go Now In Peace. A number of the members stayed for lunch on their spa- cious lawn before returning home. A very enjoyable service! Walk As A Friend If you walk as a friend, you will find a friend - Wherever you chance to fare; If you go with mirth to a far, strange land - You will find that mirth is there; For the strangest part of this strange old world - Is that like will join with like. And who walks with love for his fellow man - An answering love will strike. If you walk with honor then honest men - Will meet you alongthe way; Butifyou are false, you will find men false - Wherever you chance to stray For good breeds good and bad breeds bad, We are met by the traits we show. Love will find a friend at the stranger's door, where hate will find a foe.
