with amusement, that the first
few Sundays he selected the longest
possible hymns in order to curtail
the sermon.
One thing leading to another, he
soon found himself named assist-
ant to the Methodist minister, also,
with two rival congregations de-
manding priorities and his entire
time. About that time he gradua-
ted, and the problem was solved,
but not before the quarterly con-
ference in North Fenton, N. Y., had
bestowed upon him a local preach-
er’s license.
He planned to continue studies
at Syracuse, leaning to history and
English, with some idea of a jour-
nalistic career in mind. But the
conference appointed him to Pres-
ton, N. Y., a charge called “The
Colt’s Pasture”, where young min-
isters cut their wisdom teeth. The
official board, learning that the
new incumbent planned to attend
college, voted to cut the princely
honorarium of $750 in half to com-
pensate. But Webster put up a
good argument that he could de-
liver as much spiritual goods over
the long weekend as anybody else
could do in the entire seven days,
and proved his point. He supple-
mented his income by serving as
chaplain of Chenango Poor Farm
for $150.
It was a tough two years, with a
full college schedule on top of a
full time charge, but he made it,
and when he decided to leave after
three and a half years, to attend
Boston University Theological
school, the board made all sorts of
inducements to keep him, His pre-
decessors had lasted from one
month to one year,
His three years at Boston Uni-
versity were well filled, but not
with football and student activity.
With a background of work from
the time he graduated from Towan-
da High School in 1930, he would
not have known what to do with
leisure time. Earlier work had
ranged from picking tomatoes at
ten cents an hour in the depth of
the depression, to construction
work on Route 22, where he re-
placed a grown man and two as-
sistants in charge of reinforcing
steel and placing dividers for con-
crete work. ;
So now, in Boston, it was natural
to take employment at whatever
offered, which in this case was bus-
boy work and dishwashing at the
Waldorf chain of restaurants. He
fell heir to most of the greasy pots
and pans, battling with them until
three A. M.
And of course, he had another
charge. This was in the Wanskuck
section of Providence, densely po-
pulated with Italians. The church
has since been closed.
After he graduated, he tried to
get into the Navy as chaplain, but.
requirements for 20-20 vision de-
feated him, in line with family tra-
dition. His father had tried to get
into World War I, also his uncle,
and his father had even given up
preaching for a year to manage his
uncle’s farm in anticipation of ac-
ceptance. A little later in the con-
flict, a small matter of flat feet
wouldn’t have cut any ice, but in
those days it rendered a prospec-
tive chaplain ineligible,
His first real charge was in New
Berlin, where he spent six years.
The church was apathetic and in
debt when he took charge. When
he left it had had a complete
renovation, its bills were all paid,
its ministerial salary had doubled.
The church hated to see him
leave, but Trucksville was an ad-
vancement and a challenge, and
Webster accepted.
What he has accomplished dur-
ing his four years in the White
Church on the Hill is common
knowledge. He has gone a long

THE POST, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1951
way since the day of the first
Armistice when he helped his
father ring the bell to celebrate
in Maine, New York.
The rejuvenation of the garage,
the remodelling and redecoration
of the sanctuary, the painting of
the church inside and out, the re-
roofing of the tall steeple, the
modernization of the basement
with new wiring and installations,
the bringing of the kitchen up to
date, and the construction of a
large parking lot has had the en-
thusiastic cooperation of an
awakened congregation.
Rev. Webster no longer announ-
ces the longest hymns in the book,
but specializes on the shorter ones,
to give more time for his message.
No longer inarticulate, his words
fairly crowd each other as they
come, following the same pattern
as his writing, which trails off into
indistinguishable tails as his mind
outruns his hand.
He says sometimes it takes
months for a sermon to jell, some-
time it is ripe for the plucking and
only needs to be written down. He
preached one a couple Sundays
ago that has been brewing for a
year, but had never come to :
brisk boil until the night befor
delivery.
Rev. Webster says he thinks bh
is slipping. That until a few months
ago he always batched it, doing his
own cleaning, but that recently he
has had somebody drop in one day
a week to keep his house in order.
Cooking? Well, he doesn’t do
much of that; for he is invited out
often enough to make a meal at
home a rarity.
He has a genius for friendliness,
and a conviction that people don’t
need to be scolded or admonished
half as much as they need to be
understood.
A straight line, he says, isn’t al-
ways the shortest distance between
points. Frequently the same goal
is reached by employing a few de-
viations, and much pleasanter and
more beneficial to all concerned
than hewing to the line and letting
the chips fall where they may.
People, he says, can be led a lot
easier than they can be pushed.
Maybe it takes a little longer to
get them to where they are going,
but the main point is that they
get there instead of balking half
way down the line.

State Troopers wish to re-

leaves will soon become a
menace on winding mountain
highways. Drive carefully,
they say, and with the first
rain that brings down the
leaves, reduce speed drastically.

Scarlet made herself a most “bo-
dacious” dress the same way. A
neighbor named Lillian Gosart
Barto helped me sew it up.
Then I wrote this:
“On Request”.
“Make me a quilt with ships from
the sea”,
My little son just said to me.
“With tiny flags to fly from each
mast
And little blue stars in the sky
made fast. -
“A pilot's wheel to guide my
dreams,
Right in the center of all the
seams.”
So I've started in with a right good
* will
To make his quilt while he’s with
me still. !
Cordially,
Helen Conrad.

one you mentioned as a possible

“See my trowel anywhere?” it
inquired, sociably.
There was the cement trough,
and there was the box, battered
beyond recognition, and there was
the For Sale sign,
“What happened?” we yelled up.
“It skidded.”
“With you on it?”
“Nup, with me off it. Otherwise
I'd be in the yard along with the
scaffolding.” And then, “See my
trowel 2”
We didn’t see the trowel, but
we looked for it, mapping out the
probable trajectory.
And sure enough, there it was,
right in the flower bed. And there
was a red ripe tomato, neatly bi-
sected, and separated from its par-
ent stem between the second gladi-
olus and the third zinnia.
We hitched the trowel to the
rope and sent it up.
And then we had ourselves a cup
of coffee.
We needed it.
