TheThe South Marysburgh MirrorMirror 9 Life In The Past Nelson Hicks' Journals South Bay U.C.W. South Bay United Church hall hosted a delicious U.C.W. pot luck lunch ion Wednesday, June 10 at 12:00 noon. President Sandra Emlaw presided over the mee(cid:415)ng beginning at 1:30 p.m. with our theme hymn, purpose and the Lord's Prayer. Joyce Minaker's devo(cid:415)onal compared our spir- itual lives with the boilings of maple syrup. The more you boil it the sweeter it gets. We are also compared to salt -salt enhances the taste of everything. When the water (XXX) is boiled off, it leaves the salt, thus we be- come "thje salt of the earth." Seven members answered roll call by recalling memories of thei fathers. One father's saying in him (cid:415)me - "A dollar was so big you couldn't get it in your pocket. "My, how (cid:415)mes have changed." Brenda Minaker reviewed the minutes of the May mee(cid:415)ng which were accepted read. Three mem- bers are celebra(cid:415)ng birthdays and three anniversaries.
